MIAMI STARS To
JEWELS At
MESA BALL PARK
THIS AZ TERN0ON

The fast Miami Miners will be seen
In action in this valley for the first
time this season when they cross bats
with the Mesa Jewels at Mesa this
afternoon.
The Miami team is made up of for
mer league stars who have made good
In minor and major leagues.
Lester Quinn, the husky Miami
hurler, reported at Salt Lake two
years ago and was offered q regular
berth in the Coast league, but he pre-
ierred the home ties and reported
back to Miami. Carroll, Walker and
Colbert in the outfield present a trio
of outer gardeners that equal any
semi-pro team in the country. They
are all hitters and fast fielders and
know baseball from the mascot to
captaincy. Kenneth Wilson is with
out question the leading backstop in
the Southwest. Kenny started play
ing ball with the Globe high school
and during his term at the Missouri
school of mines was recognized the
all-star choice for the Missouri con-
ference. He returned to Arizona two
years ago and played with the No
renci team In the Copper league. He
finished the 1919 season with the
Phoenix Browns. Wilson is slugger
and boasts one of the best pegging
arms In the bush leagues. Carl Ten
nant is playing second base, but Carl
can play any position, infield or out,
and can take mis- turn in the box.
He played in the Michigan state
league, Coast league and Idaho Ne
vada league. He was imported TO
Miami three years ago when Dad
Goodman managed the Miners and he
has been making his home over there
ever since. Carl is a home run
swatter. Bert Guynup at first is the
peer of the Southwest in his fayorite
position. He bats and throws left
handed and hits the ball harder than
Tenant. Guynup is a reliable player
in any position. He starred with
the fast Santa Rita club in 1915 and
prior to that time was the leadirg
player in the old Cactus league.
Eberle at shortstop Is a new man,
but reports from Miami state that he
is whirlwind. He comes here high
ly recommended as a fielder and nit
ter. Kelley holds down the dizzy
corner q position held for years by
Jim Ramos. A player who can beat
Jim Remos out of a regular berth at
third must be a speedy player and a
hitter. Ramos will be held In reserve
In addition TO Lester Quinn the
Miami team will carry Wild Bill Nc
Gowan for mound work. MCGOWAN
played on several valley teams. He
has wonderful fast ball and when
he has control is unbeatable.
The Mesa team is one of the best
valley organizations. The players
have been working together for sew
eral years. with the result that a
strong team will take the field today
in what promises to be the best base
ball game of the year. When Mesa
went 10 Miami it took the Miners ten
innings to nail the winning run. and
Kenneth Wilson broke up the battle
with his stick work.
The Mesa team will line up as fol-
lows
Harris IT.; Butler. S.: Pomeroy,
cf.: Wheeler. c.: Price. 1b.;, Sewell
3D.; Lush. rf.; Mortenson. 2b.: Gill,
p; Oviedo, p.; McAllister and Rol-
lins, subs.
Before the Miami Mesa battle the
Mesa Rotarians and chamber OF
commerce will play an exhibition
game, the receipts to be given to the
Mesa Welfare league.
Mesa is enthused over today's
baseball games and large delega-
tion of fans from Phoenix will attend
the games Miami is coming down
strong with loyal rooters who are
planning on backing their favorites
for the afternoon game and will at
tend the boxing contest at Phoenix in
the evening.
