EASTLAKE PARK
READY FOR BIC
BASEBALL GAME

My Little Hickory Stick That Broke
Up the Game"
Who will be the lucky bird TO inter-
rupt the game at Eastlake park this
afternoon by dropping a four Dagger in
Vic Hanney's sign board in the out
field?
Il. D. Perry. manager of the Phoenix
Greys and known to baseball fame as
the valley baseball king, is willing to
die that baseball may occupy the hours
this afternoon. Don't know what any
body has against Perry-he's a nice
sort o. chap and a good sport; but why
pick on Ed for the slaughter. The
alumni and the Coyotes will be on him
from the start and the fair girlies will
use their parasols with telling effect
It's a thankless job, this umpiring bust
ness. but Perry's game and the hand
some salary offered the handsome
jumps would even start the artesian
well spouting over at the court house.
Just about 1880 p. m. Perry will shout
Play Balf-and mere words will not
explain what will be shouted the rest
of the afternoon. This Coyote-A Alumni
annual baseball crash is the school
classic. All winter long the old heads
plan on this event to show the high
school kids how fast they play ball.
A fellow never gets so old he loses
pride in his athletic prowess. Pinney's
bald head doesn't keep him out of the
sport and Daddy Westfall likes to have
the little ones give him the once over
in. his perfect AZ.
Many valley baseball stars will wear
alumni unies this afternoon in the
Coyote game. Captain Ross Lyall Of
the Alumni stated last night that his
men will go on the field this afternoon
with one ambition ito wipe out .ast
years defeat by beating the Coyotes so
bad there will be no mistake in the
score" Every member of the alumni
team is in perfect condition after play
ing the winter season with the vail "
teams.
Duke Cross, one of the best pitchers
ever developed in Phoenix, will start on
the mound for the alumni. Duke re-
Gently signed with the Vernon team OF
the coast league and he will show his
stuff against the Coyotes today. Harry
Westfall, Peters. Lyall, Brown, Heflin
Ellis. Thomas and other vets of the old
Coyotes will be on the job today
Phoenix high will turn out 2,00C
strong to back their team. firmly con-
WINGED the Coyotes are the best al
around ball players ever gathered to-
gether under the school banner. The
high school will close at noon in order
to give the boys and girls a chance Il
root for the team. This years confess
is creating more interest than any ath-
letic event held here in years.
Coaches Kriegbaum and Venue of the
Coyotes, have the boys primed for the
fray. With Wilky behind the bat and
two good southpaws, with a right
handler smiling and the whiting alum
nj. the Coyotes have reason to be conf

infield with strengthen the team to the
professional point. If two local star.

good is putting it lightly. Stan Stanle,
world famed comedian, entertained fo
several minutes. Stan is going into tn
movies in the near future and he pt
