To effect this, hospital committees will be formed by the American Legion, department of Arizona. These will cooperate with the field representative of the bureau in every way possible.
 In time to come, owing to the length of time elapsed since service, it will be harder for the men to prove their claims. Right now there IS more difficulty than in the past months.

(From Saturdays Daily)

!. lplll A1fAltii Ntfil Afft-ig
 Putting up q valiant fight to the end of the game, the Badgers last night tasted defeat at the hands of the Tempe Normal lads, when they met at the High school gym for the second dribbling contest of the 1921 season. The Normalites simply had a better team than the local stu dents, and they took the honors at 31 to 20. Thus 4he Normalites add ed the Prescott scalp to the colIec- ton already dangling at their belts, which includes those Of Mesa High, Phoenix High and the Phoenix Iu- .dians
 The playing was fairly even, as far as good work was concerned. The Normal lads simply got to the goal quicker and more effectively and put up a defense that was a shade better than that Of the Bad gers. The scoring on each side was practically done by one man. Brad ley shot effectively for the local boys, receiving strong support from Poe, who is usually there with the goods. Rollins, of the Normal quintet proved the best goal-shooter on the floor putting eight field and four foul goals in the basket Brad .ley's record was eight foul goals .and one field, and Poe's four foul goals. Oscar and Patterson of the Tempe team shot two fields each
 Following the Badger-Tempe con test, the High school girls got to- gether with the Alumni and wrought revenge for their loss of the prev ious game to their graduate sisters, taking toll to the tune of 42 to 25

TEMPE BANDITS SHOT
 DOWN ON BORDER
(From Saturdays Daily) By Associated Press)

MORALES, Jan. H. - Although Tomas Roman and Victorano Mar tinez, Mexican bandits. were so gravely wounded this morning in a gun fight with two immigration in- speotors and two ranchers at Gala basas, nine miles north of here, that they were expected to die this after noon, indications tonight were that both might recover.
 This was the opinion of physicians lat the Nogales hospital, where the men were being treated despite the fact that a .45 calibre bullet passed near Romans heart
 The Mexicans confessed while ly- ing where they fell at Calabasas and again in the hospital here that they had held up the Baber-Jone grocery store in Tempe Tuesday night, wounded H. (. Baber and killed Ernest Hintze and Town Marshal (. NJ. Spangler.
 In statement given to the of- ficers here they said they had lived in Tempe and that after the robbery and killings they had made their way to Maricopa, where they board ed freight train and rode to Tue son. Early this morning they en- tered Tucson-Noeales motor stage and left the stage at Calabasas, in tending to make their way across the border into Mexico, four miles distant.
 When the men left the stage they were observed by Inspectors Lem mon and Swink, who were standing in front of the store talking to Former Sheriff Harry Saxon and H. Q. Leatherman, q cattlrHan.
 Inspector Swink, considering the movements of the Mexicaus sus- picious, walked toward them, draw ing his hand cuffs as he did SO. Roman at once opened fire with a long-barrcled revolver. He fired twice at Swink but missed. and then, wheeling. fired at Saxon.
 Ex-Sheriff Drops His Man
 The former sheriff, rated an cy- pert with firearms. dropped Roman with a bullet through the chest
 Martinez was trying to fire but his gun failed to work. Scizing Ro- mans gun from the ground, Mar tinez strengthened up to shoot but Saxon, firing from the back of the horse he was riding, toppled Mar tinez over with a bullet through the neck Swink meantime had got into action and shot Roman through the wrist.
 With both bandits lying apparent ly mortally wounded. Saxon walked over and said, 'Roys you are about to die now. We understand you are the two who did the killing at Tempe and if you don't tell the truth before you go some innocent Mex jeans may be hanged"
 Roman and Martinez then admit ted committing the crimes Their more detailed statement was made at the hospital here.

WILL PLAY EASTON AT
SALISBURY THIS FRIDAY

Pocomoke High School and Crisfielr
High School met Tuesday on the Soc
Ger field for the second time this sea-
son, but this game counting much
more than the other one, for the loser
was dropped from the State cham
pionship contest. Pocomoke won by
score of to 1.
The game was played at Gordy's
Park Salisbury, and although the day
was very cold there was quite a
large crowd in attendance, a goodly
number of the P. H. S. student body
and faculty being there to cheer their
favorites on to victory.
The toss was won by Crisfield and
they choose to defend the south goal.
With Pocomoke kicking off the ball
was passed back to Lang, who passed
to Sherwood and the great game was
on. The ball was sent into Crisfields
territory and there it stayed until the
first goaf was scored, the result of a
penalty which Lang booted through.
The ball was again kicked off and
went into Pocomoke's territory but

Sherwood, who put it through for the
second goal. The third came near the
close of the first half when Crisfield
was again penalized and Lang kicking
his second goal. The first half ended
without further scoring.
The second half started with rush
and lot of fast playing followed.
Though the Pocomoke backfield was
not working as we'll as in the first
half, Crisfield kept hammering at
Pocomoke's goal but without effect.
The fight was then carried back to
CriSfield's goal and after. some skir-
n'ishing Sherwood shot his second
goal of the game. Near the last of the q
game the Pocomoke backfield seemed
to loosen for Tawes kicked goal for
C,isfield, the second that has been
scored against the red and green this
year. The game closed without fur
ther scoring.
Pocomoke meets Easton this Friday
at Salisbury, and the winner plays
either Denton or Chesapeake City on

All citizens of Pocomoke should
give the P. Fl. S. soccer team their
hearty support, for they put POGO
moke on the map in athletics last
year and it looks as if they are going:
to do the same this year.
