CAMBRUzzI WINS
SAFETY PRIZE Of
RAY CON FOR YEAR

Mr. Louie Cambruzzi, a shift boss
for the Ray Consolidated Copper COM
pany, won the annual prize for the
fewest accidents as regards the ratio
of shifts worked. Louie made the re-
markable record of having worked an
aggregate of nearly ten thousand
shifts with the loss of only 6S, which
is the lowest percentage of lost time
through accidents of any boss who
has won a watch heretofore, Louie
being the fifth boss to win one. His
ratio was 7.06 per thousand Of the
total shifts worked.
The management of the Ray Con-
solidated five years ago inaugurated
the plan of giving handsome gold
watch to the shift boss who could
show the lowest accident record, and
Louie was the fortunate one this year.
The gold watch was handsome in
deed and bore the engraving: Pre-
sented by the Ray Consolidated Cop
per Company to Louie Cambruzzi, for
the lowest percentage of accidents
during the year 1919-0.7O6%o."
The watch was presented to Louie
by Mr. Boyd, who on behalf of the
company assured him that the COM
pany is more than pleased by the ef-
forts to protect his fellow men and
indicated his desire to see every one
consider himself a safety scout to
promote the welfare of the en-
ployees.

Needs Are the, Same
Mr.. W. S. Boyd, manager of the
Ray Consolidated Copper company,
and an ardent enthusiast of progress
iveness, was the next speaker. Mr..
Boyd said in part: There has been
feeling that the valley didn't need
the mining district, and there has
also been a feeling that mining dis
tricts didn't need the agricultural sec
tion. We have been asked, How can
we boost for Casa Grande? How can
we boost for Florence? How can the
agricultural district interest Ray?' In
answer I may say that every miner
is potentially a farmer; they all look
forward to the time when they can
lay aside enough money to acquire a
little farm. In the agricultural dis
trict you need good land and you
need good water, and it is just so in
the mining district. There We need
good land-good mineralized land
and good water" Mr.. Boyd then
gave a few comprehensive figures
upon the production of the Ray Con-
solidated mine, the second largest
copper mine in the state of Arizona,
which is also the second largest cop
per mine in the United States and
the entire world, the largest mine
also being in Arizona and is none
other than the Inspiration mine at
Miami"
1--WE want to see you get the San
Carlos reservoir" he said; 1--WE want
to be with you; we do not know the
people of Florence as we'll as we
should; misunderstanding often arise
because people do not know each
other we'll enough"
Judge E. w. French of Ray was
the next speaker and paid a beauti-
full tribute to Florence. Judge French
was a resident of Florence for year

the greatest counties in the United

slowed mineral in abundance in the
copper-lined hills, He had, neverthe-
less, been gracious in His goodness
and lavishly provided the Florence
Casa Grande valley with plenty of
fertile and easily tillable soil; the
valley is as large as the states of Con-
neeticut and Rhode Island combined,
and the agricultural possibilities were
surpassed by no valleys in the coun-
try. He recited instances of where
the raw land in it's first year of pro-
duction had yielded half tale of
cotton to the acre; that lettuce, train
load after train-load, had been shipped
out of the valley this season, having
been produced in time to reach the
early markets, thereby getting the top
price; that the valley is denoted by
experts as being an ideal cabbage
section; being able to put that prod
uct on the market thirty days ahead
of the Imperial valley in California;

RUFUS WILLIAMS
FLOORS HERRERA;
GETS AN ENCORE
Fast Work By Boxer Only
Serves to Tantalize Ray
Fight Fans Who Insist
That He Be Trimmed at
Next Meeting.

Mistah Rufus Williams brought
Sonora when he knocked Battling
Herrera into foxland during the last
half of the fourth round. Rufus had
everything AS a ring general he is a
past master; he can hit from any an
gle, and he has wallop that will stop
the fight any time he lands it. In
short, he's a bad niger. Last Friday
night he was wildcat and it was
his night to prowl, and Saturday he
went back to Columbus, N. NJ, with
the winners end of the purse, and to-
day he thinks he's standing on the
world.
But things have happened in pugil-
istic circles since Marse Rufus left
town. Public sentiment demands that
we have another fight next month be-
cause all us white folks want to see
Rufus get licked. And everybody over
in Sonora is q little bit keener about
it than we are. So May 80 (Decora-
ton day. is the time appointed and
the promoters Of the American Legion
have about concluded negotiations
with middleweight over on the coast
who is coming. to take Rufus to the
cleaners. And the pity of it is, Rufus
doesn't know about it yet, but he says
he wants to box here again, and we
are doing our best to accommodate
him.
It is going to he long month, wait
ing for this fight to come around, but
after it's over, maybe we can all settle
down to business again. Ray is a
good fight town, and when fights are
on the level, they are willing to patron
ize the game and boost it. We are
not going to stand for any off-color
fights here, and the only two things
the fight-fans ask for they VIII GER
tain1y get. First, they want to see
Rufus get laced, and, second, they
want the fight on the square. The
American Legion promises to make
good on both, because they are part
of the general public and they're all
fight fans. So Rufus is going to get
himself some decorations next Deco

Ray Team Makes Splendid
Showing in First Game of
Series; Tonneman Holds
Cotton Pickers For Seven
Innings Without a Score.

There is superstition in base
ball that good club never wins the
opening game, and the club which
starts off with a bang at the begin
ming of the season usually ends in
the, cellar. 1t has happened here in
the good old days when the coast
league managers would be in con-
slant communication with the shining
stars of the old copper league, and it
has happened again this year. We
lost the opening game simply because
we started the wrong pitcher. He
had a sore arm and was hardly able
to toss the tall up as far as home
plate. Mesa got two runs off keenan,
in the first inning and when the bases
were loaded in the second with no.
body out, Doc Hutton decided it was
time to send him to the showers and
sent in Hays who makes no claim to
be pitcher, and when the dust
cleared away and the inning was
over the score stood six to four with
Ray on the short end.
And then came the surprise party
for Mesa and for the grandstand
Good Old Tonneman took off his
camouflage and shin guards and gave
them to Pete Wychob and went out
there himself. For seven long innings
he held the Mesa cotton pickers with
out score and until the tenth in
ming only one man reached third base.
But poor fielding and higher throw
ing in the direction of first base let
over that winning run, and in our
half of the tenth with Billy Davis on
second and Art Guest on first with
one out, Brundage who went in to
pinch-hit struck out and Broad.e who
followed must have figured that
strikeouts were in order and after cut
ting at the air three times, the game
was over
However, the season is just start
ing and our club looks good. There
are a few weak spots to strengthen
and we need good pitching, but with
Beaumiller back in the infeld, our
club should not lose more than three
games all season. Mesa is supposed
to have the best cluL' in these parts
and they only won by one run against
us. With any kind of pitching, our
next game against Mesa or any other
club like them, will be a set up for
the Miners. So take heart, we are
going to have baseball again this year
and we are going to have the best
club in the state Ray won't be as
dull place to spend the summer as
we feared it would be. The score:

FLORENCE nine

That fast game is in prospect for
Sunday afternoon became known this
week, when it was announced that
the Florence nine would be here to-
morrow to cross bats with the local
aggregation. The county seat team
is rated as one Of the best teams in
this part of the state and with the
splendid showing made last Sunday
by the Ray team as a criterion of
future performances, local fans are
on the tip-toe of anticipation.
The Florence team will arrive in
Ray about noon Sunday, and the
game will start at 4 o'clock Interest
in the contest will be more intense
by reason of the trade excursion to
Florence and Casa Grande this week,
at which time challenges were ex-
tended by Ray and accepted by man.
ayers of the valley teams
The game Sunday will be open for
admission at so cents for grandstand
seats and 25 cents for bleachers.
The national game received adde
tional impetus when the Ray cham
ber of commerce visited the Florence
Casa Grande Valley and the spirit of
cooperation that has been manifest
means that the. game must go for
ward-the Ray people are back of
their team to the, man. While the
team has not been finally completed,
it is necessary to make certain try
outs in order to get the best material
We can; for that reason Manager
Hutton is doing all in his power to
advance the game without bringing
additional expense upon the baseball
loving public, as he realizes that with
curtailed production in the copper in
dustry, and the possibility of other
men losing their positions, it is going
to mean hard fight to keep baseball
thoroughly alive in this community,
but if the worst should come to pass,
and others are deprived Of their live
lihood, those remaining will simply
have to dig in and do the other fell
lows share, which is the spirit of CO.
operation we saw so magnanimously
exemplified on the wonderful excir-
sion to the valley.
Back Rays Team!
The Ray team is the best in the
state there are other teams that
have been working together longer,
as some of the Ray players are new
and it takes time to mould an eff
cient ball team out of the new and
partially raw material but we will do
it, so get behind it and help the boys
along. This is one Of the cleanest
sports of our country; our men are
clean and play like good sports, and
we hope that each and every game
will be as clean and honestly con-
tested as the game last Sunday,
which, on behalf of the management.
it must be said, was one of the best
ever witnessed in Ray. Pull together
first, pull for your home team, but
don't forget that the other fellow has
rights, and they should be respected.
Go to it, now for record crowd and
more good, clean baseball.

NOTES OE The GAME

Tonneman looks good to us whether
he is behind the bat, in the pitcher S
box, or at the plate. He is a good
ball player, and because his anxiety
to win ball games sometimes makes
him a bit craEby, doesn't mean that
we don't need him in there all the
time. Tommy is an old head and
knows the game, and he is going to
win a lot of ball games for us this
year.
