HOLBROOK "OUTCLASSED IN UMPIR-
 ING" ACCORDING TO FLAGSTAFF
Games Won by Classy Umpiring New
 Departure in Baseball

In a write up of the Flag paper attempting to belittle the Holbrook team and it's players there was one tell ing paragraph. In fact, it was a regular tell tale" and it did tell the whole truth in the last sentence. We are glad to agree with our opponents on this point even at the risk that agree ing may make us disagree able.
 We freely, and fully con- fess that Flag had us out chased in umpires. That is from their standpoint of an umpire's usefulness. We must plead our ignorance as our only excuse. We really did not know that it was necessary to have an umpire play with the team in order to win. But we recognize our mistake. We in our benighted ignorance had always thought that a ball game was won or lost by the players, and that perhaps if you were super StitiOus a mascot helped. But as for playing an um. pire as a help to our team it had never been presented to us as the heighth of sportsmanship.
 We deplore our lack of worldly wisdom but we are afraid that we will have to allow Flag the palm in this direction as we are morally certain that we would not be able to find a Holbrook man who would be willing to act as umpire with such duties. Flag IS to be con- graduated on having such a complaisant, e-er----man for the position.
 We are proud to say that we do not believe our fel- low townsman, Mir. Chas. Osborne ever will make the sort of an umpire Flag car ries on their staff of ball players. For one thing he IS not cursed with conven. tent blindness and accomo- dating astigmatism such as reflects such glory on the classy Flagstaff authority on foul balls.
 The few lines are not our idea of sportsmanship but are a type of the brand eX- hibited by our opponents on the ball diamond on the Fifth of July.
 It's the money
 And not the name,
 It's the winning
 And not the game.
 Honor and squareness
 Are debit and loss
 We care not for fairness
 If we win the toss.

ATTY. GENERAL CALBRAITH SPRINGS
 SURPRISE ON NAVAJO COUNTY .
Hands Down Decision as to Election of
 Supervisors in New County Districts

In a recent letter to Coun- ty Attorney Greer..the Atty. General of the states holds that it will be necessary to re-elect al! the supervisors at the coming election. The necessity for this arises be- cause of the re-districting of the county into three super vlsoral districts. We quote the letter below, as it is self explanatory.
 Hon. Thos. R. Greer,
 County Attorney,
 Holbrook, Arizona.
 My dear Mir. Greer:
 A number of inquiries have reached this office re- garding the election of SUD- ervisors this fall, particular ly with reference to the holdover.
 We are therefore sending you a copy of Senate Bill No. "A of the first Special Session of the Fifth Legis- lature, 1922, which provides for the election of supervi- SOrS.
 We are also enclosing 8 copy of that portion of the Governors call of the special session, which sets forth the subjects of legislation for which the special session was called.
 It appears doubtful to us if Senate Bill No. "A enclos- ed is within the Governors call. If it is not, then it is not a valid law. Arizona Constitution, Article W, Second Part, Section 3, and Article V, Section 4.
 l If this new law be invalid, then it is our opinion that all counties which have not heretofore divided into sup- ervisorial distticts must this fall divide into supervisor al districts and elect three new supervisors. If, how ever, a county was subdivid- ed into supervisoral dis tricts before the 1920 elect. ion and elected supervisors from each district as divid- ed, then the supervisor hav- ing the largest number of votes would hold over at the present time, but if the county has been divided in. to supervisoral districts since the last election, then we are of the opinion that three supervisors must be elected; that is to say, one supervisor from each dis trict, as provided in Section 2402 of the Revised Statutes of Arizona.
 We are also enclosing to you a copy of the official op- inion of this office on the subject. :.
 Very truly yours,
 W.J. Galbraith,f
 Attorney General By George R. Hill
 Asst. Attorney General.

.UPTURN IN W HE AT CAUSED BY RUMORS .OFCROP OUTLOOK
Corn and Oats Made Fraction al Gains, While Provisions Finished Unchanged to
 Ten Gents Lower

Chicago, June 23.-Anxiety over heat and drought, together with pre- dictions that the winter crop yield would be well below the June es- innate, led to a material upturn in wheat prices today. Extensive profit taking sales, however, forced re- action. The close was unsettled, at the same as yesterdays finish, to ssc higher; July, s1.13B to s1.1f, and September, s1.147s to $1.15. Corn gained Mc to hc and oats acAto 1e. Provisions finished unchanged to 10c lower.
 Temperatures around 100 in dis tricts where the winter crop was yet unready to harvest and where no immediate cooler weather or showers seemed likely to give relief had q bullIsh effect on the wheat market as soon as trading began. Some spring wheat territory sent com plaints also of hot winds. News ot a heavy storm in Canada failed to have more than a transient contrary market influence, whereas Liverpool quotations higher than had been looked for helped noticeably to stim- ulate buying here.
 According to one authority, every day of extreme hot weather tended to lower the prospect for the winter wheat crop. Another expert said any probable increase of the spring wheat outturn would be insufficient to offset the loss of winter wheat. Export demand, meanwhile, showed improvement, Europeans taking 500,. GOO bushels at the seaboard. The fact, though, that for the greater part of week the market here had been working upward in price made the holding of new advances more and more difficult. Especially in the last hour of the session, owners ef- fcrts to realize profits were on a big scale, causing prices to sag. The market was being well supported, nevertheless, at the finish.
 Bullish crop conditions strengthened corn and oats independently of wheat
 Provisions were weaker in line with the hog market.

l1N ASSOcBteu ITeSS
 New Orleans, La, June 23.-Ex- tremely heavy selling was felt by the cotton market today, especially in the late trading and it was con tinued to the very end of the ses- sion so that the close was easy at the lowest of the day, net losses of 6S to IT points on the list of active months. Continued favorable weather over the belt and a constant stream of favorable crop reports, especial ly from Texas and Oklahoma. were the main reason for the offerings. A great deal of liquidation came from the long side and in the late trading it was evident that stop loss orders were being reached among ownerseof leng contracts. July closed at 21.S9c.
 The market had a steady under tcne In the early part of the session, although it stood at moderate de- clnes, but selling increased follow ing the posting of the forecast Of fair weather for practically the en- tire cotton region. and there was further selling following the posting of the weekly statistics, traders com pairing mill takings for the week of 20o,0 bales with those for last week of 22S,00 and not with those for this week last year of 164,000.
 Much of the early selling appeared to be due to a private report On condition of II per cent of normal which, with an estimate of 9 per cent increase in the acreage, was said to Indicate crop of 11,100,000 bales. Later on many traders anl brokers went to claiming that such an indicated crop was not a selling argument but offerings continued because of claims of marked crop improvement over a good part of the belt.

 N the Line
Rv Asancin1ed Press

New York June 23.-Reports or improving crop conditions in the south led to heavy general Hqulda- tion in the cotton market today After selling at 22.44c early, october contracts broke to 21.6Sc or TO points below yesterdays closing quotations and 127 points below the high ot last Tuesday. Closing prices were the lowest of the day with the market easy at net decline of 62 to Fl points.
 The market opened unchanged to points higher on relatively steady Liverpool cables with active month 3 selling about to 8 points net higher right after the call on covering and a little trade buying. As soon as this demand was supplied, prices eased off, owing to favorable weather re- ports and private condition figures showing an improvement in crop prospects as compared with month ago. A break of 20 or 30 points was checked by renewed covering and the execution of scale down buying orders, but bulges of 16 or IT points met increased offerings. with the market becoming very nervous and unsettled during the afternoon, Scattering reports of improving crop conditions were accompanied by the selling orders from the south, whi- O there was general wire and commits sion house liquidation and stop orders were uncovered on the de- cline. July contracts sold off to 2167c and December to 21.50c in the late trading when the general list showed net declines of 62 to Fl points and losses of from s6 to $640 per bale as compared with the recent high record. Bullish weekend fig ures showing spinners takings of 245. .450 bales for the week compared with 172,110 last year failed to check the selling movement which continued right up to the close. Two of the end-month condition reports were issued, one making the condi- tion 71.0 and the indicated crop H. 1000 bales, while the other placed the condition at TOP and the indicated crop at only 10.400,000. A third report estimated the increase in acreage of 10.5 per cent. Port re- eeipts today were 10,S67 bales; U. s. port stocks, TYP, ,344. Exports today, 7,949i making 5,5S6.429 so far this season.

New York, June 23.-Trad1ng In the stock market today languished perceptibly. probably as direct re- suit of the proposed official inquiry into the recent remarkable man euvers of Mexican Petroleum. Sales of 100000 shares represented the smallest full session in many weeks.
 Additional restraints were imposed upon speculative operations by the firmer tone of money rates. Call loans opened and renewed into next week but gradually rose to per cent in the final hour.

New York. June 23.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Improvement. slow and careful in some areas, relatively fair in others, is still the word most commonly used in describing the progress of distributive trade. of industry and of crops. There Is more doing in June. however, than there was in May. in which month things gained over April and the advance over June Ia year ago Is, of course. unmis- takable. Indeed, except for short periods in the autumn of last year and of 1920 reports as to trade, ir- dustry and collections are about the best in two years. .--le weeks price movement has been upward and the food index has advanced. Failures are slightly more numerous.
 Best trade reports come from the west. with business houses making excellent comparisons. Crops there have held their own well, despite some complaints of dry weather. Weekly bank clearIngs. S7,sS1.- 072 ,000.
