". Luther Lewis, of Local
american League Team, Says
This Time Is Not Far Distant
START HERE SATURDAY

GRIP the soccer champions of the
~ universe. Not at present, but no,
so far away. This was the prediction
expressed by prominent officials md
followers OF the game Mt get together
rally held last evening in connection
with the opening of the American Soc
Ger League here next Saturday.
w. Edgar Lewis, with his brother.
W. Luther Lewis, have come 10
this city to place Philadelphia on
the map, and It was the former who
made the prediction that ere long Amer
lea, with Americans in the line up,
would be competing for world soccer
honors.
The Lewises have been identified
with sport in many capacities for
years. They had one Of the greatest
leagues ever organized outside of the
majors in the Steel League, and their
soccer clubs for years have been the
best in the land. True It is that Beth :
lehem has lost the National Cup the
past two years, but ask any soccer fan
the best team, and intuition immedi-
ately responds with Bethlehem"
Great Team Here
Well, the pick of Bethlehem has
changed its name to Philadelphia, and
with the addition Of several stars of
note is ready to mingle with seven
other clubs in the American League to
show local fans the greatest exposition
of the kicking style of football they
ever have been privileged to witness.
The Lewises are not out to make
money. That is one of the emphatic
points they make in placing a team
here. They are anxious to impress
upon Philadelphia the wonders Of soc =
Ger. for they hold the belief that the
game, properly conducted. is the en-
tering wedge of a movement that will
soon put soccer in the forefront Of
American sports.
According to authorities, soccer is
the universal sport of the world 1t
stands supreme throughout Europe.
South America, China, Egypt and
India. and is growing by leaps and
bounds In America. And the fact most
evident is that the Americans are so
fast taking to the game that only a few
months ago the American soldiers de-
teated the British representatives in
the final In Pershing Stadium by the
score of l to 0.
Opening Games Saturday
The lid will be officially lifted on the
sport in this city next Saturday at the
Northeast High School field at Twen
ty- ninth and Cambria streets. when
Philadelphia plays j. & =. Coats. of
Pawtucket. The same teams played on
Saturday and the Phillies won. 8 TO o.
Those in back of the local combina :
tion are apparently earnest in their in :
tentions of putting Philadelphia on the
soccer map, and the fans no doubt will
witness the sport at its best, as the
play by a professional eleven. as com
pared to a haphazard exhibition by n
crowd Of amateurs, is as different a,
night is to day.
Those who attend also will have the
privilege of having a soccer score card

other city. 1t is the invention of the
manager, Jimmy Walder, and denotes
the players and contains oil the Other

same lines as baseball score card and

PREDICTS AMERICA WILL 49,,
SOON LEAD SOCCER FIELD
PhiLd. Has IFS Soccer
Teams and 5000 Players

The remarkable development Of
soccer in this city was forcibly IL
lustrated by Douglas Stewart, coach
Of the University Of Pennsylvania
soccer team, last evening in a meet
ing Mt the Walton Hotel.
Mr.. Stewart was giving brief
history of the game in this city and
said that in 1902 the pioneers here
were elated to think that they had
succeeded in getting six clubs play
ing regularly.
Today there are 5000 players reg
istered in this city, with 175 clubs,
and this number does not include five
teams at Penn, three at Haverford
and teams at other nearby colleges,
besides many free lancers not iden-
titled with the Eastern football dis
trict.

chased its supply of gas and oil and the question was placed before w. J. Galbraith, attorney general. His rul- ing was:
 Tn the absence of showing that this contract was entered into with a fraudulent design to maintain a high cost of production, with view Of secret profit therefrom, this contract is and was binding upon the Pacific Gas & Electric CO, and the Arizona corporation commission would not have the power to vacate or avoid the said contract if said contract hed been fully compiled with by the Rich mond Oil Co.,"
 contracts the commission has now taken the bull by the horns by re- fusing to allow future contracts to be entered into without it's approval. In this way it is hoped to materially cut the costs of producing gas and cleo tric lights and then force down the rates on these commodities to the consumer.
 Under an order issued by the com mission every company serving gas, electric lights or water is required to file with the corporation commission on or before August 22, certified cop ies of all contracts defining the price and conditions of the purchase of fuel oil, gas, oils, tops, distillate or other products of petroleum for use in the manufacture or production Of gas or electricity or for pumping water, to which each such corporation is party.
 It is further ordered that after Aug. 10 no water, gas or electric corpora. tion shall enter into any further con- tracts for the petroleum products named above unth they have filed a copy with the commission, and have received authority from the commits sion to sign the same.
 Corporations which buy their oil in the open market are required un- der the order to keep records in such a manner as to disclose quantity and price freight charges and any details of adjustment.
 To give some idea of the saving which it is hoped to effect. the freight rate on gas and oil from Wichita Falls. Texas, to Phoenix is 69 cents per hundred or s2.145 per barrel. Ad-

YUMA DELEGATION
 OPPOSE CHANGE IN
 ASSESSMENTS

For the purpose of urging that the assessment of irrigated lands in tna. county, as made by the county as sessor, be not disturbed, a large dele gation of Yuma citizens appeared be- fore the state board of equalization yesterday. The members were J. II. Westover, editor of the Yuma Sun; Bert Caudrey, William Weisner, Hon. A. J. Eddy. member of the sen ate from that county: Attorney John Doan and A. B. Ming.
 The average assessment of irrigaI- ed lands in that county last year was s141 an acre. This year the assessor placed thedr valuation for taxable purposes at $109, which the delega- ton believed was a just valuation and was the part of the burden that the irrigated lands of that county ought to bear.
 Thus the Yuma problem is much the same as the Maricopa county problem, which was presented to the board in the tax conference at No- gales by the taxpayers committee, so that no further hearing will be had with respect to it.
 MT. Davis, representing the Bunker Hill Mining company, appeared be- tore the board with a request to take ether factors into consideration in as sessing the value of that property than were considered in the original assessment. Mir. Davis stated that the mine. was operated chiefly by ieasers and that the factors should have been considered in the case of each of them, effecting a smart re- duction in the valuation of the prop erty.
 w. E. Brooks appeared in behalf of the Van Dyke Water. Light and Power company of Miami. urging q reduction of the valuation of the plant on the ground of the financial condition of the company. Mir Brooks also asked for the reduction of the wire mile of the Van Dyke Telephone company of Miami.
 S. l.. Norveil appeared to complain of the misclassification of the Han sen lands of this county, by which they were given too high a valuation in the original assessment.
 There appeared for the wholesaler grocers of Phoenix Attorney Leon s Jacobs, J. T. Melczer of Melczei Bros, W. W. Edwards of Haas, Ba- ruch & Co, and H. P. Hall of Hal & Pollock, complaining of the meth ods employed in making assessments of grocery stocks, asking that . change of the method be ordered by the tax commission and that tho stocks of the complainants be ns- sessed under the proposed method.
 Mir. Jacobs also represented S. H Kress & Co., of Tucson. asking fol relief from the original assessment
 Attorneys Rice & Matthews and E E. Weber of the Magma Copper com pany were given a hearing by ths board ia the afternoon on a com plaint of the assessment of that prop erty.

he favored a special session of the legislature to consider reductions in appropriations for next year. Mir. Keefe was the only member of the Yavapai legislative delegation that the clerk was able to reach in res ponse to a request of a committee ot taxpayers at Phoenix for poll of ti1S legislators on the proposal for spec ial session.
 NIT. Keefe, according to the clerk. said that he believed that a special session could do something to econo- mize' in the states expenditures.
 All other members of the county's delegation in the legislature are out of the state.

SENATORSPROM|SE
 AID IN OBT AIMING
 TARIFF ON COTTON

Definite assurance has been re- ceived by Andrew Baumert, Jr., Re- publican national committeeman from Arizona, of at least eight senatorial votes in favor of a tariff on long staple cotton. In all "A, replies have been received to a letter which he recently sent to all members of the United States senate, giving full in formation regarding the long staple cotton industry of Arizona and show ing the justice and urgent necessity for adequate protection against the foreign grown product.
 The question of securing an ade- uuate tariff on this type of cotton is conceded to be one of the most important to the future prosperity of Arizona, affecting as it does not only the Salt River valley but the state at large.
 Of the A letters at hand a large number are especially encouraging; the remainder though noncommital in tone indicate that the subject of Baumert's letter will be given serious considerat ton, showing that the facts presented have opened the eyes of some and that the needs of Arizona farmers will not be forgotten.
 Among those who have come out for the tariff outspokenly is Senator Arthur Capper, former governor of Kansas. He writes:
 q am favorable to tariff on long sta ole cotton and shall be very glad to support this measure in the tariff bill.'
 Senator John B. Kendrick, Demo- crat, from wyoming, says:
 q have read your letter and the accompanying statement of the cot ton situation with a great deal of in terest and I have also listened to a very interesting and Illuminating presentation of the question by Sen- ator Ashurst l have been so im- pressed with the intimate knowledge which Senator Ashurst has of this question that I am quite willing to be guided by his judgment in sup porting this tariff.
 Senator Henry W. Reyes of New Hampshire writes:
 sT am glt d that you have called this matter to my attention and beg to assure you that when it comes up for consideration your suggestions will have my most serious consider ation.'
 Senator Henry Cabot Lodge says:
 q have received your letter and am glad to know your views in regard to the tariff on long staple cotton, which you may be sure I shall con- slider most carefully when the bill comes before us"

Oil Shipments From Tampico Field Show
 Big Drop During May


 WASHINGTON. Aug. 3-A mark ed decrease ip the petroleum cargoes shipped out of Tampaco (Mexico) district in May was reported to the commerce department yesterday by Vice Consul Hickerson. During May he said, shipments totalled 1S,76S,5 barrels. drop of 2,076,212 barrels from the April exports, and of 4.S55,- 961 barrels from the record shipments of January 1921.
 The marked decrease. MT. flicker son said, was attributed to the mar inc strike and to a restricted market for Mexican crude oil in the United States. The amount shipped to this country in May, he continued, was 9,562, ,693 barrels, or 69.4 per cent of the total of 1,35S,476 barrels from the April exports to the Uniter States, Cuba.

The difference is S4h cents or nearly sufficient to cause a reduction in the price of gas to the consumer of 25 cents per thousand feet. Last year the company sold 2O3. 43S,000 feet, from which it is figu1ed that the saving to Phoenix gas con- sumers alone if the 25 cent reduc- tion in oil can be made will be con- siderably over S50,000 per year.
