MESA, May 14.-Replacing the fat
and lean game which proved one of
the most popular events Of the year
last spring. representatives teams
from the Mesa Rotary club and the
Mesa district chamber of commerce
are now being lined up to play the
annual benefit baseball game for the
Mesa Welfare league on Memorial
day, May 80. Already candidates for
both clubs are making themselves
known, leaders for the two nine have
been selected, and other preliminary
arrangements for the big event have
been attended to.
The fats and leans OF Mesa. who
were pitted against each other in the
annual conflict last spring, provided
world of entertainment for the rec
ord crowd of fans in attendance and
the Welfare league treasury was
made richer by handsome sum. And
so with the treasury in need OF money
again this season, and the fans
rearin' for another battle royal. Chas.
b. Flynn, president of the Welfare
league, member of the chamber of
commerce directorship. and promi-
nent Rotarian. has scheduled the

agership of the Rotary nine, and
from it's thirty-od members will do
the choosing. L E. White, vice.

figured out as to who is who" on
his nine. The fats and the leans,
the old and the young. and the mar
ried and the unmarried are all to
take hand in the affray. Odds are
favoring the commercial club. but
the Rotarians, with their customary
agility, pep and enthusiasm, are
promising a lineup that will spell
