Douglas, Original "Old Home Town, :" Plans to Fill the Grandstands With
 Smelter City Hooters Saturday
Suburb of Agua Prieta Challenges Bisbee See Which City Can Produce Most Spectators at Football Game;
 Town Pump Barrel of Crackers For Visitors

as the leading community in the state
 Bisbee &modestly admits holding that
 position now. Therefore, from the
 Douglas viewpoint BisDee must be
 showed aside. And the defeat of the
 Bisbee high school <eam by the Doug
 las eleven is to be the first act of the
 showing, according to plans in the
 Shelter City.
 Has Good Football Team 1 Although Douglas is not very big, it
 nevertheless boasts good, strong
 football team. And that team is to
 be cheered at Warren Park by al 1 least 800 Douglas voices.
 ! According to reports current in Bis
 bee last night, both the store and
 blacksmith shop in Douglas are to be
 closed on Saturday afternoon. It was said the night watchman at Douglas was planning to get to bed early Sat
 urday morning in order to be able to get in his beauty sleep in time to
 watch the game. The day clerk at the hotel in Douglas is also p:anning to
 attend the game, providing one of the two guests will take care of the of flee for him.
 The only detail that has not been arranged in Douglas is: Who will get home in time to light the street lamp
 in front of the drug store if everybody
 comes up to Bisbee to watch the
 game? It is reported that straws will
 be drawn to see who is elected, The nerve of Douglas in believeing it's football team will be able to beat the metropolitan squad from the Bis
 bee high school is occasiOning much
 amusement around Bisbee. But it is
 certain that Douglas is planning to get together big bunch of "rooters" for the game. It is even reported that recruits will be drawn from Augua Prieta, of which Douglas is
 one of the most thickly populated suburbs.
 Original "OId Home Town" Those who read the "Old Home Town" cartoons in The Review, know that Douglas is the town Artist Stan ley had in mind when he started the series. So the official yell of the Douglas rooters will probably be Hold 'er Newt!" And Bisbee will no doubt come back with: "Git for home,
 Bruno"
 Plans are already under way in Bis bee, Lowell and Warren, for one of
 a ictn Saturday afternoon. Everybody and
 his cousin will be at the park when the game is called in order that Doug 1 las residents may realize what a crowd is.
 George Spears, city editor of the Douglas Dispatch, who is helping or.
 ganize the Douglas rooters, denied over long distance phone last night that Douglas banners would read: Bryan for President" Everybody in Douglas, he said, knows that Taft is the candidate and that he is sure to defeat Alton B. Parker
 ! Spears was also incensed when ask ed if it were true that all of today s ! receipts at the blacksmith shop in Douglas would be used to buy the cap ! tain of the Douglas football team a uniform.
 l Douglas newspapers are carrying
 huge display advertisements calling on every one in the Shelter City to ] Be at Warren Park at 2:30 Satur- day afternoon and help beat Bisbee" i i. well.
 Make lem Feel at Home One Bisbee citizen suggested last night that the top stories be taken from all high buildings in Bisbee in order that visitors from Douglas will not be afraid to walk or drive up Main Street after the game. Bisbee
 motorists will also be requested not ! to sound their horns on approaching i Douglas citizens, for fear of frighten- ing them.
 Everything will be done in Bisbee to make the Douglas "rooters" feel at home, town pump being installed in i front of the post office and several hitching posts put up at the depot plaza. During the game a barrel of
 crackers will be placed in the grand stand and plenty of pine box-ends giv- ! en the Douglas folks to whittle on.
 Local police will round up all who I look like ''bunco men" in order that no slickers try to sell any of the wis ] itors Sacramento Hill or the E. P.
 X S. w. railroad.
 l It ought to be a great day and, if i Bisbee turns out as good a crowd as
 Douglas unquestionably will. all at
 tendance records at Warren Park will . ha chattarad
