DOUGLAS TEAM
 LOSES TO DOC
 BLEDSOE SQUAD
Crowd of Thousand has Great Time Yesterday at Circus
 Game Staged at Warren
Bisbee 27: Douglas 26.


 That. or something similar, was the score of the circus football game yes terday between Dos Bledsoe's eleven and the aggregation brought up from Douglas by Harry Clark.
 More than 1000 men, women and children enjoyed tine game and the stunts that followed almost every play, and the Boy Scout fund was increased something in the neighbor- hood of $500 A return game, with complete change of program" will be staged in Douglas next Sunday afternoon.
 There were flashes of real gridiron action yesterday, in spite of the fact that few expected to see anything even remotely resembling football But the real fun was in the bur lesque. Stunt after stunt was staged the program eliminating in re markable operation on Harry Clark at the conclusion of the last quarter.
 A play-by-play account of the game would be impossible and besides, no one would believe it. Big Tony Fri berg was the first player knocked out. A derrick was rushed onto the field and Tony was hoisted to his feet. A few moments later Tony bit the dust again. This time, it was announced, he had been killed A coffin was carried to his side, but it was too small. At last, however, the "body" was cramped into the coffin, two buglers from Camp Jones played taps" and big Tony was removed from the battlefield.
 That was just one of the stunts. There were score of others just as funny, judging from the laughter that echoed around the field. One player, knocked out, could not be revived by Dr. George Fridge and his corps of physicians and nurses. A farmer player, drew suspicious looking bot tie from his pocket and at once re- vived him. Another player developed water on the brain A well drilling crew relieved his suffering.
 But why describe the stunts? Al most every family in the district was among the crowd and, most of the stunts were described over the dinner table after the game.
 High school students made a great showing at the game. Before the contest started they staged the best football parade of the year in Bisbee and during the game they assembled in a group on the side lines and cheered Justify for Doc Bledsoe's team.
 Another lively feature of the parade and game was the appearance of the Tombstone high school band. Young in years, the members of the band played like veterans.
 Photographs of both teams were taken before the game by Pop" John son, but the camera exploded when an attempt was made to photograph Captains Bledsoe and Harry Clark
 A parade around the field preceded the game. A bugle corps from Camp Jones headed the line of march, then in order were Thorlief Olson as Father Time, who acted as timekeep- er, the Boy Scouts, who ably pa trolled the field during the game, other officials and the two teams with their small armies Of substitutes.
 With complete new set of stunts for next Sunday, that match is ex- pected to prove even better than yes terday's. The humorous features of game were provided largely by Bisbee men. Next Sunday will see Douglas in charge of arrange ments and the Shelter City folks have promised to put on a program of stunts that will be even better than those of yesterday.
