Man of Intelligence.
There is no "billiard face" or eX-
preston any more than there Is an
expression peculiar to any 1ther oc-
cupation or profession, according to
Professor Starr. Shown a picture OF
Jake Schaefer's father, Professor Starr
said ut would be impossible to tell
from this picture that the man was
a billiard player. The picture shows
a man wide awake, keen and lntelll-
gent. If I were given a group of pic
lures and told that certain of the
group were those of billiard players,
l could, with my attention thus di-
rected, pick out four or five pictures
which would include those of the bill
lizard players. But without such a
hint it would be impossible 20 tell an
occupation.
young Jake evidently is a man
who has himself under control. He
looks intelligent. But, as in the ease
of the father, there is nothing that
would indicate that he was a billiard
player. There are no distinguishing
marks. From the picture n can see
that he might be a billiard player or
anything else that requires control
and intelligence"

the game and everybody concerned.
Next season may not be so good for
the owners. They have had two o
derfully prosperous years and have
allowed that fact to affect their judg-
ment. There is likely to be a sudden
slump in baseball. Indications are
that the industries will reopen full
blast next year. If they do the men
who attended the games this summer
will be at work and will have no time
for the game. If the club owners,
majors and minors, are wise, they will
prepare for conditions of that char
acter.
Major league club owners uncon-
sciously are doing baseball an almost
irreparable injury by initiating the
prices on players as they have this
year. They are slowly wrecking the
minor organizations, the bodies from
which their stars must come. They
do not realize it now. but they will
later. Players for whom e%xorbitant
prices are paid get a distorted idea
of their ability and demand more sal
airy than they are worth. If they do
not stick they are sent back to the
minors, where they insist on a salary
that the small magnate cannot pay.
This condition comes not from only
one player but hundreds of them, with
the result the salary lists of the minor
league clubs are so high they cannot
operate SUCCESSFULLY"

 Gentlemen:-
 At mass meetinS Of tho taXpay- CTS of Greenlee County. called under the auspices of the Greenlee Coun- ty Taxpayers Association. held at Clifton, Arizona, on February 21th. the present high rate of taxation was given thorough discussion. This meeting was attended by approxi- mately one hundred and fifty tax payers, representing every part and industry of the county. and it was the sense of the meeting that every thing should be done that can pos sibly be done by the legislature in special session convened, to the end that the taxes of the State of Arizona be reduced to a minimum.
 It is recognized that all industries in our state are sufferine from de precision over which we have no con trol. It is also recognized that in many ways extravagance has been practiced both in state and County affairs, and it is the earnest desire of the taxpayers of this county that both senators and representatives use every effort at their command to bring about a reduction of taxa tion from this time forward. and that you gentlemen who represent the County of Greenlee may know that the taxpayers of this county are behind you in anything you may do. looking toward a reduction in taxes.
