indication the two mining towns Will
not overlook any good bets this year,
The new Miami ball park will be
officially known as the Miami
Inspiration Employees Baseball Park
and win be equipped with a club
house. lockers, shower baths and the
finest infield in the state. When the
sports in the mining towns start
something they usually go over big
and the Miami fans are again active.
Globe Is not lacking in good base
ball material and with good park
close to the center of town the fans
are casting around for baseball
talent. The majority Of last years
is no doubt Globe will be willing to
join six team league this summer.
Phoenix fans have taken kindly to
The Republican suggestion for a six
team league. The plan Is feasible
and the fans will support the move
ueht once it gets started.
Over at Miami the boosters have
called a meeting for this evening to
discuss finances and plans for the
summer baseball season. Several OF
the leading business men of the city
have promised to get behind the
movement and the suggestion Of a
six team league with the mining
camps and Salt River Valley will be
taken up at tonight's meeting.
The local managers will meet at
the Phoenix Booking office this eve

ALcER DOING RoApwoRK


Billy Alger has been doing light
gym and road work for a week to
keep in condition for his coming
scrap with the winner OF the Neff-
Kramer bout.
Billy has not been doing any sparr-
ing as the doctor has advised him to
give his head a chance to heal. The
wound has practically healed and
early this week Aiger will be ready
to put the gloves on again. He has
been fighting regularly for several
weeks and is entitled to short
rest.
Billy wants to get another bout
with Neff as he is determined to stop
the Long Beach boy If they get in
the ring together again. Billy says
It makes no difference who wins to-
night he will beat the victor next
week. Got to hand It to Billy for
confidence anyway.
STILL AFTER FARREN
The Legion matchmaker is nego-
tiatlng with Frankie Farren OF San
Francisco for a bout with Alger the
latter part OF the month. Farren
has a bout in Frisco this week and
is trying to close with Johnny Dun
dee. He had an offer from New Or
leans to meet the junior lightweight
champ and wired acceptance Of the
terms. However, the bout fell
through at that time, but the New
Orleans promoters are again trying
to arrange the match.
Farren and Aiger would make a
great attraction for Phoenix in view
Of the much talked of Dundee Farren
scrap.
MAYBE JOHNNY KID MEX
Johnny Kid Mex is also trying to
get a Phoenix bout and II he agrees
to terms offered will be given a
match with Alger early next month.
Kid Mex is the toughest little fellow
In Colorado and a fighter from the
gong He is regular attraction at
Colorado Springs and may be. induced
to forsake the Colorado resort tor a
Phoenix number.
MIKE WANTS FIGHT
Young Mike was offered a fight In
Miami with Red Milburn, but Mike
does not want to go out of town TO
box. Mike is just a boy yet and he
is helping support q widowed mother
through his ring earnings. His man.
ager feels that Mike has plenty OF
time to go on the road and a little
more work at home will not do him
any harm.
With proper coaching and II not
rushed too fast Mike will make q
reputation for himself and for Phoe-
nix, His greatest trouble Is TO find
local boxers who can stand UP under
his attack. Mike is clean living
boy and a lad OF good character.
He helps the game through his mode
OF living and he is a strong favorite
with the fans.

COURT RULES POKER
GAMES MAY DIFFER

In answer to the question: "Is
man charged with playing draw
poker guilty OF participating in a
gambling game when the evidence
clearly shows he was playing stud
poker?" a jury in Judge Stanfords S
division Of the superior court yes
terday decided he was not and there
fore returned a verdict of not guilty
In the case of the state against Chris
Pappas. charged with participating
in gambling game: to-wit, playing
draw poker. Judge Stanford then
ordered the defendant discharged.
The charge against Pappas and six
others arose from the testimony
given in the court OF Justice Henry
j. Sullivan at the preliminary hear
ing of a robbery charge Pappas
brought early in December against
Lee Robinson and Ed Wright.
Iappas charged in his complaint
against the two men that they held
UP a poker game in a house on East
Jefferson street early on the morn
ing of December 4, taking about $3.50
from the y PARTICIPANTS in the game.
Wright was held to answer on the
charge and Robinson was dismissed.
AS a result of the testimony. seven
OF the witnesses including Pappas,
were charged with participating in a
gambling game. Four of the players
pleaded guilty in the superior court
TO the charges and were given Jail
sentences Of 20 days and a fine. The
charges against two were dismissed
and yesterday a jury found Pappas
not guilty. Three of the men who
served Jail sentences were states
witnesses yesterday and each testi-
fled they had been playing stud

Phoenix has enough home talent to
hold a tournament.
THE JUNIOR CHAMP
Speaking about miracle men OF
sport, Johnny Dundee shouldn't be
overlooked as the entry from the
boxing world.
The other evening Dundee hand
ed an artistic trimming to Joe Ben
janlin. the much-touted coast light
weight. Dundee was outweighed
seven or eight pounds.
That has been Dundee's trouble all
through his career. he has constant
ly been forced to give away weight
in practically every match he has
ever had.
Dundee has always been legiti-
mate lightweight. Seldom has he
ever weighed over 100 pounds. In a
number Of his bouts he has come in
at l26.
At times Dundee took on alleged
lightweights who were really closer
to the welterweigh limit. However
be never quibbled over the weight
question.
There is another thing about Dun
dee that appeals to the boxing en-
thusis SITS. he always gives them
run for their money. Any time Dun
dee is one of the principals II means
the fans will get plenty of action.
Dundee is that kind of tighter lie
forces II.
Dundee's toughest break was his
failure 10 get match with Freddie
Welsh before Leonard got his chance
at the title. Dundee would have
surely beaten Welsh. who was ripe
for the first good fighter who met
him.
At one time such bout was al
most cinched when. because of some
slight difference. II fell through.
That was a tough break if there ever
was one.
Had Dundee got his chance and
won the title he would have been
able to place restrictions on contend
ers that would have made 1T pretty
hard for some Of them. Leonard in
particular.
II Dundee had won the title he
would have set the weight limit az
1873 ringside. 1t is doubtful II Leon
ard would have ever taken a whiri
at the title at that weight.
There is only one black mark on
Dundee's career, a knockout by the
hard hitting Willie Jackson. How
ever. in other bouts between the two,
Dundee had proved his superiority,
showing the knockout was in the
nature of a fluke.

No more waiting for the crowd to
get seated at the Coliseum; IL you

Tine First street every Monday night.
Heretofore the management has
delayed the opening number to give
the fans buying tickets a chance TO
see the whole show. This plan was
fine for those coming late, but made
the early birds uneasy. Tonights
card will start promptly at 5 o'clock.
but the opening bout will be a special
four round number with the Lewis
Twins starring. This bout will be
staged in addition to the regular box
ing card and will entertain the fans
seated early, but will not deprive the
late ones of their share of the show.
The Lewis Twins are clever man
ipulators of the leather cushions.
They lack size, but they make up in
speed what they missed on the scales.
The little fellows are going in to
win and will keep the fans satisfied.
The curtain raiser will be four

and Wildcat Johns. This pair fought
two draws last year-but that was
before Speedy had been in the game
for any length of time, Speedy fooled
the regulars in his last two starts

OTHER GOOD soYs
LEAVE THE LIQUOR
To DOPE THE GIRLS"

The other evening a young man
was standing near the entrance of
place of amusement when two young
men came out He learned from
their conversation that they had come
out for a drink. They went to an
automobile which was standing at
the curb. One took out bottle and
each took a drink. As the last was
drinking, the other said: Don't
drink it all; leave enough to dope
the girls"
AS the apparent owner of the au-
tomobile was putting the bottle back
the other warned him: You better
not put it in the machine. If some-
one investigates you'll be pulled for
transportation"
The other acting on the advice
placed the bottle on the ground
against the inner side of one of the

Why doesn't the infieId rule apply
with only first base occupied?

with only first base occupied?
The infield fly applies with first
and second, or first, second and third
occupied. The rule was so made to
protect the baserunner from being
doubled up, by having the fielder
trap the ball.
With only first base occupied and
less than two out, there is no chance
for double play, If the batsman
will lrun out his hit. He is supposed
to do that, hence there is no reason
for the infield fly to apply in such a
case.

wallop that stands out as a classic

Only in the world series did Babe
"flivyer" and pull the Casey at the
Bat" stuff. However, his failure to
hit the offerings of the Giants
pitchers was due to an injured arm,
not lack Of ability.
Like Ruth. the New York Yankees
as team had a penchant for driv-
ing pitchers to the showers. Really
there isn't a weak hitter in the New
York lineup, and when they started
a batting rally, base hits came thick
and fast
However, neither Babe Ruth nor
the Yankees did anything last year
that quite compared with a minor
league performance that was staged
in the south.
One of the players who figured in
the game writes me the facts in the
case. Without doubt, II was the most
unusual inning that has ever been
staged in a ball game.
The contesting teams were the
Charlotte, N. c., team of the South
Atlantic League and the Winston
Salem team of the Piedmont League.
The Charlotte club scored four
runs on four balls pitched. The first
three batters singled on the first ball
pitched to them. None of the singles
were hard hits. so the three safe
swats merely filled the bases.
Then came Shortstop O'Connell to
the bat with the stage all set. While
not a hard hitter as a rule, O'con.
nell picked on the first ball pitched
for a home run, clearing the bases.
Thus in one inning on four balls
pitched the Charlotte club, through
the medium of three singles and a
home run, scored four runs. That is
a record for some of the slugging
aggregations to shoot at.

river was reported approaching flood
stage and rising two and a half feet
