PAC|F|CFLEET I BASEBALL TEAM
 TOPLAY SEVEN
 VALLEY GAMES

The United States Pacific fleet baseball team. made up of the cream of the west coast players. is coming to the Salt River valley for a series of seven games, commencing May 26. Four games have already been booked and the fifth is almost certain. Two more games remain to be booked be- fore the series is closed. Pidge Pin ney of the Phoenix booking office states that the navy wanted four games, but in view of the number of valley teams anxious to play he has arranged with the visitors to play seven games.
 The five games already booked in clude:
 Saturday-Navy vs. Indians on In- dian grounds.
 Sunday-Navy vs. Giants at East lake park.
 Monday-Navy vs. White Sox at Riverside park.
 Tuesday-Navy vs. Florence at Florence.
 Navy vs. Glendale at Glendale.
 Mesa and Tempe asked for dates and Thursday and Friday were held open for the southside teams. Pinney states that the dates will be reserved until noon today and if the Mesa and Tempe clubs do not sign up the games will be given other clubs waiting for dates, probably Wickenburg and Casa Grande. The navy team must be mo- tified by 6 o'clock this evening. If arranged as scheduled. the Thursday game will be played in Mesa and at Tempe on Friday.
 As the navy pitching staff is limit ed to six men, it is impossible to look additional games and the list must be held at seven.
 The navy team has won three championships, including the all- navy title, won by defeating the Atlantic fleet representatives at Panama dur ing the recent meeting of the two fleets.
 San Diego fans are deeply con- cerned in their brides and are anxious to try their boys against Arizona: best. For that reason special service will be given the San Diego paper. and the games will be played in tn, coast city on electric scoreboards.
 The team coming here next week i: not the same as the fleet nine tha came here last year. But the man ager received encouraging reports from the officers who accompanied the team last year and it was no hard to book this years series.
 The valley teams are working oui every afternoon in order to be in the best possible shape for the games an6 some fast, snappy baseball can be ex- pected in every game.
 The necessary guarantees have been posted by the valley teams, as suring games on the dates announced l Mesa and Tempe will be booked i the clubs report before noon today.

Market News

NEW YORK, May r - Today s operations in the stock market were perfunctionary and dull Dealings were lighter in volume and narrower or scope than for several weeks.
 The hstless movement was accom- panied by conflicting advances and declines which evidently derived their sole impulse from the professional element. Meager public participa- uon seemed restricted to the selling side.
 News and other developments were of the same familiar tenor. Some rails suffered additional moderate losses as a result of pessimistic views uttered by transportation officials and believed to foreshadow more di- v1dend readjustments.
 Similar conditions applied with equal or greater force to many steels, equipments. motors and other issues of no definite description, some of which were said to be feeling more acutely the depression in their re- spective lines.
 Although call money held at per cent, shorts were driven in before the close by purchases of local traction issues. as we'll as gas issues, coppers and shippings. Final prices in most instances were considerably above lowest levels. Sales amounted to 575.000 shares
 Continuance of the holiday period abroad detracted from activity of foreign exchange but advices received by well informed banking interests indicated an amicable settlement of the Silesian controversy. Except for the Dutch rate all important inter national remittances were firm. to strong.
 Foreign issues were the most con- spicuous of the bond market Chilean Ss reacted on dissolution of the un- derwriting syndicate and MeXicans lost ground with French municipals Domestic bonds were steady although the liberty group showed further ir- regularities. Total sales, par value, s10, 750 900.

ARIZONA BOY
 JOINS MAJOR
 LEAGUE TEAM

It's a long jump from the Arizona bushes to the big show-nevertheless another Arizona ball player has gone up
 The Associated Press report this morning announces the arrival of Leslie Miller in Chicago where he reported to Manager Glea son of the Chicago White Sox.
 Baseball fans of the Salt River valley, and Casa Grande in particular will be interested in the report that Les is with the majors. The clever infielder covered third base for the 'Casa Grande team the last two years and his work on the diamond featured every game in which he played. George Stovall, manager of the Casa Grande team, groomed the kid for his trial and Miller went direct to the White Sox without taking a minor league course of training. When the Casa Grande club played the Phoenix White Sox in the open ing game at Riverside park Miller covered his position for eight chances without an error. He went to bat three times and connected for one three bagger and one two-base hits. He drew a walk and flied out to deep right.
 The skeptic ones who have doubted the ability of Arizona ball players can look over the list and find no less than P men playing league ball this season and they are all making good. Valley fans will follow the career of Leslie Miller and be pull ing for hom to make good"
 The Associated Press dispatch an- nouncing Miller's arrival in Chicago follows:

CHICAGO EXCHANGE

CHICAGO, May 17--F'ree buying on the part of an eastern trader who has recently been on the bear side led to material advance today in the price of wheat. Bullish sentiment was also engendered by the meagre- ness of the visible supply total, and of the stock on hand in Chicago. and by the squeeze in May delivery at Winnipeg. Opening quotations, which ranged from 1ac decline to lac ad- vance, with May s1.46k to $1.461a and July s114& to s1.1511, were fol- lowed by a sharp general upturn and then by a moderate reaction.
 Corn acted heavy at the start but rallied when wheat began to ascend. After opening unchanged to Is dL4 c lower. including July at 6l $ to 61 F the market sagged a little further and then scored gains all around.
 Oats paralleled the fluctuations in corn. starting unchanged to sc lower July Ss& to 3SB and later showing some advance.
 A big increase in the supply oi lard here weakened provisions.
