COYOTES BATTLE

 SQUAD SATURDAY

Saturdays game with the Mesa high squad gave Coach Robinson chance to study his team in action and uncovered the weak spots in the line, both on the offensive and de- fensive To fill the weak spots is the least of Robinson's troubles. as he has several candidates working out each evening and before the next big game the line may be shifted with new material going in for tryout-
 Talbot's 190 pounds make a showing every time the husky Coyote fullback plunges through the line. The rookie squad gets nervous when Talbot is called to hit the line in practice. The big boy is wearing out the avail able practice material, but the faith full rockies are willing to carry the burden that the Coyotes may pare tice.
 Both Davis and Heard are showing up well in practice this week and they will undoubtedly take the field' with the first team Saturday. None of the candidates for the end positions have shown speed enough to beat Davis and Heard out of their positions and the regulars are getting better with each game.

BASKETBALL LEAGUE
 SCHEDULE ARRANGED

GILBERT, Oct. 11.-Last Saturday afternoon, at the Tempe Normal school, all the coaches of the B league basket ball teams met and arranged for number of basket ball games which will decide the championship in the league. Each school is to play approximately eight games and other schools that play more than eight games will decide their standing from the first eight games played. The two teams making the highest per centage will play off the tie, two games out of three. This winner then will be acknowledged champion team of the B league and will play the winner in. A league to decide the championship of the valley.
 Two years ago Gilbert high school won the championship of the B league by a perfect record and tied with Phoenix high school for the cham pionship of the valley. Last year Gil bert won the championship of both A and B leagues,
 This year Gilbert's first game will be with Casa GTande on Nov. 4, on the Gilbert court. The Gilbert boys are rapidly rounding into shape now and while they have lost number of the star players of last year, with what new material they have and Nlell Oiu Ileil they nave lelI they NA- | pect to develop a team that will up | hold Gilbert's reputation in basket l ball, if not win the championship 1 again. Coach Biery says while the | team will be light it is fast, and with | team work will put up a good scrap 1 against any team in B league. The | boys have fixed up an athletic room
 near the showers and each night they have a fair work out and a rubdown afterwards.
 After the Casa Grande contest games will follow at intervals of | about a week. Two of the last years men, Miller and Hatch, are back this
 year. The former was recently elect
 ed captain of the team. Other men
 who are trying out for the team are
 Allen, Cooper, Cranda1, Freestone, Sevey, Haymore, Nichols, Cooley and
 Lacy. All are well built and active
 and while they have not had much basket ball experience they will make
 good players with the proper amount
 of good coaching and training. Al together Gilbert is looking forward to a very successful year. With hard work and much training she expects l to reach her usual high standard in athletics this year.

GIANTS CATCH HO MT -RUN FEVER
 AND SWAT PILL FUR BRACE IF
 4-PLY CLOUTS IN ONE INNING

McGraw figured home run hitting was a disease with Babe Ruth, so he had Emil Meusel jog around with brother Bob and see just how .conta- gious the swat fever really was. Re suits: marvelous-Emil trots out to the Polo grounds and first time up he cracks a homer, sending Kelly home in front of him, and Snyder. who occupies the bench position next to Irish" shook himeslf, picked up a little dirt and walloped the ball for another home run. In the Tanks half they were furious. Huggins be- moaned the fact that his home run king was out with a bum arm and Fewster was forced to substitute. Fewster hobnobs with the Meusel brothers and probably caught the swat fever at the same time Emil was infected and he clouted a clean four-bagger. Three home runs in one inning is sure hitting the ball in a world series game.
 The operators of the Wonder Board planned on giving away the spheroids hit for four bases, but when the epi- demic started and 1t looked like a real plague the souvenir idea was benched, as there will be at least two, and perhaps three, more games, and today's forecast looks good for a whole flock of home runs and we might run out of balls before the series ended.
 The demon statistician got busy yesterday and computed some figures on covering a world series game with the following figures proving the As sociated Press leased wire and The Republican Wonder Board perfect mediums in baseball reporting.

MODEL AIRSHIP MADE
BY SING SING CONVICT

Ossining, N. Y, July 21.-The
wreckage of model airship, built in
the shops of Sing Sing by Count
Max LyDar Loudon, sentenced for
forgery, was found in the prison
yard yesterday where the craft had
been taken for test. High winds
that came with a storm dashed the
model against the building walls and
completely demolished it.
Loudon had worked a year on the
model and keepers said he appeared
greatly detected when he saw it in
splinters, saying he considered it
unlikely that he would build another
While the model, which was patent
ed by the inventor, was only forty
feet long the inventor planned to use
it's design in the construction of a
craft one thousand feet long and
capable, he declared of carrying one
thousand presons across the ocean.
He said he spent $4,000 in building
the model.
Loudon had attracted considerable
attention in the United States, espe-
cially prior to and during the war
when he was suspected of being a
German spy. He was first arrested
in 1915, on charge Of bigamy. Aft
er making his escape and being re-
captured, he entered a plea of gull
ty to the bigamy charge and reveal
ed plot of German reservists to in
wade Canada. He was later charged
with Matching plot to kidnap Presi-
dent Wilson. In 1919 he was SEN
fenced to three years in Sing Sing
for forgery, and since becoming a
convict he has spent most of his time
in the shops working out various in

then the financial pyrotechnics and

profteering in world history and then

traordinary self control not to be

not incapacity, of many men, lead.

utter unpreparedness for the period

There is going to be a house clean
ing. It will be done gracefully and
without raising much dust. Men who
as presidents Of bodies have been the
active heads of the organizations will
retire with many expressions of re-
gret from their associates or if their
financial interests are large they will
be promoted to be chairman of the
board. This latter procedure is like
the British custom of "Kicking a
gentleman upstairs" as they term
elevating him to the House Of Lords
when he has outlived his usefulness
in the Commons.

holders become Of corporation head:

has pronounced almost as in the in.

many stories that left bad taste in
the mouth of Wall Street.

100000 in household furnishings.
Each marriage adds a unit Of ener-
gy to the buying power Of the nation.
It creates new demands for prod
ucts of factory and farm, thus put
ting more hands to work.
Each wedding is a contribution

MEN AND BUSINESS
(By Richard Spillane)

A man who worked with pick and
shovel 20 odd years ago declined the
presidency of fairly prominent cor
poration the other day. The salary
was $4,000 a year.
II can do better work where I am
was his answer when pressed to &C.
cept. I want to do the things I know
can do we'll and I'm past the stage
of money hunger
Past the stage Of money hunger!
Who ever heard Of such thing?
More interested in doing the things
| he knows he can do wen than in get
ting a lordly salary! Why, there
must be something queer about the
man.
And yet lot of industrial concerns
are looking for men of his ability
and not a few banks need officers Of
his mental attitude to direct them.
There are to be more changes in
high places in banking and industrial
circles within the next six months
than in any other six months in the
Last rs years. Never was there so
much room at the top.
This is not surprising. The condi-
tions in the past seven years have
been unprecedented. The swings have
been unparalleled. Only the strongest
of men have been able to hold them
