DISABLED VETERANS
 IF VALLEY ID HOLD
 MEETING ON SUNDAY

Through the courtesy of the local lodge of Elks meeting of all the disabled war veterans of the Salt River calley will be held at the Elks hall, West Washington street, at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. The pur- poses of the meeting, which is being held for and by the disabled vete- rans, are set worth in the following. which has been prepared by one of their number:
 At the present time over 1900 ex- service men in the Phoenix district. TOO In the Prescott district and at least 500 more. scattered throughout the state are drawing compensation. and receiving hospital and medical treatment under the government.
 Where such a large number of disabled men are scattered it is only natural that there be many who are not satisfied over some one thing or another. Consequently. 1t is the de- sire of a large number of the dis abled veterans to get together and form an organization of their own whereby they can help one another where appeals to others have been made only to have nothing done and nothing attained
 The number of disabled veterans who are not receiving the benefits they are entitled to and which the government is willing to give is sur prising. Many of them have made application for medical treatment or increased compensation, but through some slip-up they have not had their cases taken care of.
 To clear up all such matters as the foregoing, to help one another where others failed and neglected tc help, and to gain for themselves everything every disabled veteran is entitled to is to be the main object l of the organization.
 Many of their buddies sleep 1T | Flanders fields-they are at rest | the disabled ones are not asleep. nol | can they rest until each and every | one of them receives what he is | entitled to. So get together. no mat | ter what part of the world you arc | from, and be at the EIks hall at Il o'clock next Sunday morning."

on Time Readv! Who'll Ger '21 Baseball Crorvn?
By ROY GROVE

Old Man Time has the baseball crown all shined up, but he doesn't know whether to stick 1t on one of the stars in the American League or a National League ace for services rendered during the season of 1921. Rogers Fornsby ought to get theI first peep at it for being the sweet est swatsman Of either league, t7p- ping the tvera ges with .39Sl This isl the highest batting percentage reached since 1899, when Delahantv. Of .fosi th' Phi'lisS' led the league with But Ty Cobb. the Georgia Peach, steps into Hornsby's shadow de- manding recognition and deserving to be marked at the top of all the greats For Cobb has just pulled through his sixteenth complete sea son with the Tygers, and finished with a marker of .s90. His pupil, Harry Heilmann, topped him by .0003 of point for the American League hitting record-the first time a right handler ever beat Cobb. who copped the batting honors in Ban Johnson's league II times in IA years.
 Frisch Leads Thefts
 Frank F'risch of the Giants dusted down the path with 54 stolen bases, and George Sisler led the American League with 34 Isis" was the only man to steal four bags in a single game. George also got 10 hits in 10 consecutive trips to the plate, record for the season.
 To Hornsby will go the ribbon for smacking out doubles and triples in the National League. He got 43 doubles and IS triples. while Iris Speaker of the Indians topped him for doubles in the American League by popping out 5l.
 Dave Bancroft of the Giants gets inc ticket for variety of swats. On June he cracked out a single, dou- ble, tripe and a home run In four trips to the plate.
 What Kelly Did
 ceorqe Kelly. also of McGraw's snlIad did on three occasions the stunt that every player longs 10 n1icate and that even the best or tbe,,o failed to do in 1921 - he slammed out three home runs at three different times with the bases full, all in a single season.

THIRD ANNUAL PINAL
 PRADA ON NOV. 26

The third annual Pinal Punchers' Parada will be held at Florence, November 25-26 this year. At a joint meeting of the business men and Pinal County Cattle Growers as- sociation held in Florence Monday night it was decided that despite the dullness of the times the Pinal Punchers' Parada Pinal county annual roundup. would be held AS usual and all efforts wiR be made to make the third annual celebration even better and bigger than ever be- fore. Last year the Parada was held November 26 and 27 and was at tended by punchers and cattlemen and visitors from all sections of the country. This year the association expects even larger crowds and many more contestants.
 Cowboys from all over the south west have written for information of this years event and literature is being mailed them together with pro- grams and urgent invitations to be on hand when the parada opens on the 18th of November.
 Both days will be replete with ac- tion and fun and the crowd will be kept busy enjoying themselves. for the parada committee will see to it that all visitors will leave with the conviction that had they missed the celebration they would have missed the time of their lives. On Thanks giving day the Florence 1ndepen- dents, one of the fastest ball teams in Arizona. will cross bats with another of the speediest teams in the state. Each evening dances will be held on an excellent floor and the jazz will be provided by the best musical artists obtainable. These dances were the talk of the state last year and will be even better this year. The parada will be held on the grounds of the country club one-hali mile east of the prison on the Kelvin road. Florence is prepared to take care of all visitors

 The junior college squad played Q creditable brand of football, their open formations and forward passes proving too much for the redskins. The Indians made their best gains on straight football, shoots off tackle and end runs netting them considerable yardage.
 It was the second game of the sea- son for the college men and their first victory. P. A. Venne, formerly coach of the Indian school team, is ham, ding the squad. The team plays Flagstaff. Normal at Riverside park Nov. ,.

SEA5ON ON DEER
 AN[] TURKEY ID .Ctl5E IN WEEK

Just six more days left in which hunters may go. put and kill a deer. for the season p1oses next Monday, October ,S1, at midnight. Deer are more plentiful than ever before this season and since the opening day when w. G. Carpenter brought in the prize buck at :30 p. m., winning Pinney & Robinson's prize rifle. there has been a steady stream of successful sportsmen returning to the city with venison.
 With but a few days left in which to visit the happy hunting grounds in search Of deer, there will be hun- dreds who have postponed their trip until the last few days leaving the city over the weekend in an effort to get a buck.
 This has indeed been a record sea-
 son and sIg gamesters have bagged deer in all four corners of the val ley The most deer were taken from
 around Fish creek, Mormon Flats, Four Peaks, and in the Cave creek country, although White Tanks, Frog Tanks and Castle Hot Springs sec tions were pleasing.
 Elmer Warren and s. D. Lount re- turned Tuesday from trip up near | Wickenburg. and report having seen | plenty of deer, bringing home two l dandy bucks which topped the scales at 150 pounds each. These two him.
 rods were gone only 24 hours on
 their trip and yet they happened to 1 strike it lucky like folks do in bring l ing home the bacon.
 1 While deer and turkey season close on Monday, it will not leave | the sportsmen without hunting, for ducks, quail, doves, rabbits, geese | jack snipe and yellow legs are now in season and will remain so for a
 number of weeks to come. All of
 the above mentioned game are plen- 1 tiful in their respective localities
 and many shooters have already ! taken advantage of their favorite
 meat by going out and bagging the limit on short notice.

In the mldcOntnenial deserts. when
sun and dry winds suck the moisture
from deep in the ground and all the
