ROTARY EXECUTIVES HERE
MONDAY FROM 26 LEADING
CITIES OF THE SOUTHWEST
ELKS PLAYING BASEBALL
PRETEND YOUTH BUT
DON'T DECEIVE ANYONE

There were no dramatic situations
in Mondays baseball game at city
park between the married and single
Elks. But there were plenty that
were comic.
There would have been some thrill
ing plays, If they had been made. 1t
would have been an errorless game
but for the fact that many errors
were made. And it would have been
a close game. only the married men
no longer can stay out late at night,
and, getting more sleep, can clout
and catch The ball better.
The married men won, 27 to z. Only
five innings were played, for by that
time all the bachelor pitchers were
on their way to the hospital.
The married mems lineup when the
game began was: Gene Campbell, Joe
p. Wilson, Walter L. Lindblom, Fred
Browning, Lefty" Lewis, Jimmie Tur-
pin, Ira Daugherty, Loren Cress, Ir-
vim Francis. Browning caught all the
way through. Lefty had good con-
troll, allowing but one run in the two
innings he pitched. Bob Mitchell
then took the slab, doing nearly as
well.
Single men: Walter Carlson, Fran
els Chisholm, Tommy Long, Bill Nc
Clurken, Ray Prochnow, Dan Francis,
C. M. Archer, Adolph Boenitsch, Fred
Metz, Cecil Mccormick and Moke
Travis. Procllnow started on the slab,
then Travis tried it, being followed
by Mccormick, who, in the last inn
ing, gave way to Carlson. Carlson
started catching, then went to first,
Tommy Long going behind the bat.
Clarence Pillliam umpired
The very first ball pitched on the
new diamond was swatted for home
run by Gene Campbell. Cress and
Browning also got home runs.
The fourth inning was remarkable,
in that the married men in their half
batted once and half around, both
Lindblom and Browning getting two
runs in that half and Jimmie Turpin
getting put out twice.
1t was scheduled to be nine-inn-
ing game. But what could they do
when it got so that man couldn't
get home without crawling, the field
ers had to sit down in front Of a ball
to stop it and then had to use Frank
Chisholm's little dog, Spot, to send
the ball back into play?
Bill McClurken, on first, kept kick
ing because every ball thrown his way
was twenty feet wide or high. Bill
complained that his arms were only
ordinary length. Then, someway or
other, a ball was tossed right into
his nit and he was so surprised he
dropped it, the runner making the
bag. Dan Francis on third accepted
every chance that came his way. Ac-
cepted them is right. He would just

MAN HELD HERE MAY BE
SLAYER OF MRS. SUTTLE
In COLORADO SPRINGS

Walter Harvey Whealan was arrest
ed here Sunday forenoon by Chief OF
Police R. i. Neill, on suspicion that
he may be the man wanted in connec-
ton with the brutal murder in Colo
rado Springs on August rs OF Mrs.
Elsie Jorgensen Suttle. He fits the
description Of the man wanted almost
to the last detail and is being held
here in city jail pending further adj
vices from Colorado Springs.
Mrs. Suttle, who had been receiving
threatening letters from a man who
signed himself Jack" was murdered
in her bed. Her assailant struck her
on the head seven times with blunt
instrument, believed to nave been the
head of a hatchet.
The next morning young man
wearing hatchet in his belt begged
breakfast in the neighborhoOd.
kilograms revealed the fact that
this young man was beating it south
and west, getting rides from tourists.
He was picked up in Gallup and
brought some distance this way four
days before Whealan was arrested
here.
Whealan had no hatchet when ar
rested, nor did he have the army
knapsack the suspect wore. He had
had two grips expressed here from
Gallup. He claims he was in Dodge
City, Kans., when the murder was
committed, that he expressed his grips
to La Junta, Colorado, buying a tic
ket himself to Gallup; that he re-ex-
pressed the grips at La Junta and
again at Gallup. Officer Neill can't
understand why he paid express on
the grips as far as La Junta when he
could have carried them free as bag
gage, especially as he had only 40
cents when he arrived here in tour
lists car on Sunday.
Whealan is of the same weight, age,
and exact general description as the
man described in the Colorado Springs
wires. He wore gray cap, khaki
coIored sleeveless sweater and gray
shirt, the same as that man did. He
did not have on khaki pants, like the
man described, but did have khaki
pants in one of the suitcases and
there are stains on them resembling
blood stains. There is towel in the
same grip with several splotches of
what look like blood. On the trous-
ers are other stains and it looks like
an attempt had been made to remove
them.
Whealan says he is an oilfields
worker and that he has an uncle in
Dodge City, Kans. He is %, weighs
143 pounds, is feet inches in
height, grey eyes, sunburned complex
ion, slender in build, with noticeabIy
slender fingers, and is not prepossess.
| ing in appearance. His story leaves
| the suspicion that If he is not the
man wanted he may be the owner OF
record in some other way dubious

FLAGSTAFF BATTERY ''D'
AGAIN COPS HONORS AT.
FORT BLISS ENCAMPMENT

Flagstaff Battery D, light field ar
tillery, again carried off high honors
at the summer encampment at Fort
Bliss, Texas. They got home Sun
day morning from the two weeks in
camp, looking fine, feeling fine, and
glad to get back home.
Captain Harry Embach, command
ing, swells visibly when he speaks OF
the record made. Battery d was the
only artillery outfit to arrive at Fort
Bliss with complete accoutrement, all
ready to go.
Not days sickness of any Of the
boys while they were away, and not
j day under discipline for any infrac-
ton Of rules. The regular army offic-
ers commented often and favorably on
the fine appearance of the Flagstaff
boys and on their snappy, smooth
work at drill.

FLAGSTAFF ENJOYING
new LASKY PICTURE
BEFORE IT'S PRODUCED

Flagstaff people have been having
a good time watching the shooting"
with motion picture cameras of the
Flagstaff end of the film picture,
"The Call of the Canyon" being
ADAPTED from Zane Grey's famous
novel of that name. Victor Fleming,
director, has a large company Of Fa-
nous Players-Lasky screen actors
here and most of the rest of the cam
era work will be done at the Thomas
ranch in Oak Creek canyon.
Those who have read the story will
remember that the heroine came to
Flagstaff from New York, then left
in a stage coach for Oak Greek, where
the man she loved, returned soldier,
was living on a homestead trying to
get back his faith in humanity and
trying to forget the heroine because
of her love for high society life, a
kind of life he could not endure.
Lois Wilson, the famous screen
beauty, pretended to arrive on train
here the other day and the Shooting"
began. Followed lot more, showing
her leaving the Weatherford hotel in
the bus for Oak Creek. Of course the
villain also gets into the bus. That
part is taken by Noah Beery, whom
screen fans all know. Richard Dix,
leading man, didn't figure much in the
pictures taken here, though he will
be there a-plenty at Oak Creek.
The filming of a desert sand storm
will occur about IA miles east of here,
near Winona, and of the scene in
which the villain is hurled into nice
putrid sheep-dipr1ng vat will, it is
said, be taken near Cliffs.
This desert sand storm leads to the
subject of equipment. Many thousands
Of dollars worth of specia. equipment
has been brought here for this pictL~..
For instance two Ford cars have truck
bodies added to carry Stutz airplane
motors ard two large cars each carry
big Liberty motor. These motors,
the propellers reversed, will hurl the
sand in the desert sandstorm, and
came here in a special express car,
heing transferred to the Babbitt gar
age.
The company has made hit with
the people here. They are ladies and
gentlemen, and those who have been
reading of high jinks in Hollywood
life have pretty much revised their
opinions.

SCOUTS AND SHOOTING
SHOES AND FACTORIES
THEMES AT ROTARY

A strong Boy Scout talk by /. B.
Koch, who later described the enter
tainment to be given here on Monday
and at Grand Canyon on Tuesday by
Flagstaff Rotarians to the presidents
and secretaries of the 26 other Rotary
clubs in the 9Th district; a service talk
on shoes by Sid Gassman; an enthus-
iastic account by Lieutenant A. j.
Mackey of Flagstaff Battery DIS sue
cess at the recent summer encamp-
ment at TT. Bliss, and an instructive
talk by Albert w. Atwood on Ari-
Zona's potentialities as a manufac-
turing state, were the high lights in
Tuesdays Rotary meeting.
President NJ. /. Powers started
things off. He read a letter from
President Spilsbury of the Arizona In
dustrial Congress expressing apprecia-
ton of the hospitality shown the di-
rectors at their recent meeting here
by the Rotary club and chamber of
commerce, also saying the visitors re-
turned south with broader know
ledge of the various resources of this
community and its many delightful
features.
Mr.. Koch said that this week after
the final lists are in from the var
ious- Rotary teams working for Boy
Scout funds the list Of contributors
will be published and a list will also
be compiled of those who failed to
contribute.
Mr.. Koch's description of the Ro-
tary conference plans for next week
will be found embodied in another
story on this page.
Mr.. Gassman's shoe talk will be
printed next week and it was the
inspiration for the talk given by Mr..
Atwood, who said it was wonderfully
informative and had given him light
on his study of the future of this sec
tion from manufacturing standpoint.
He cited the importation of many mil
lions of dollars worth of raw silks
from Japan, which are shipped across
this country to New England, then a
large part shipped back here again
as finished product, and the shipping
of it only to come back here. This
lack of failure to manufacture in this
section for our own needs may be ov-
ercome to large extent in time, he in
timated, by power development of the
Colorado river, although even then we
can develop in manufacturing way
only gradually. He deplored the ten
dency of young men starting out to
almost invariably choose selling car
GERS instead of trying to become pro-
ducers or manufacturers.
DR.. Mackey said the employers of
the battery boys should be gratefully
thanked for letting them off to go to
ancampment, and that we all should
be proud Of the boys. The program
there was strenuous, the officers being
busy most Of the time from a. m.
to 9:30 p. M, and the other men hav-

GOOD SUGGESTION

E. T. Mulhollard and his father, e.
B. Mulholland, we're in Flagstaff yes
terday from their ranch down in Long
Valley. That narne, Long Valley, fits
E. T. about right, he being somewhat
long himself. He is much interested
in the concerted movement being
made by sportsmen throughout the
state to secure more drastic enforce
ment of the game laws, and suggests
as one means that those riding out
into the forests out of season who
feel that for some reason or other
they just must carry along shotgun
or high-powered rifle, have their
guns sealed by an official and that
on their return If the seal is found
to be broken, it be taken as prima
facie evidence that they have violated
the law.

FOUND ONLY TO BE LOST
AGAIN; OFFICERS SEARCH

A headless male skeleton, overall
and jumper clad, was found lying un-
der a juniper tree some distance to

HORNSBY SAYS HE WAS DEALT WITH UNJUSTLY BY CLUB

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.-Belief that his $500 fine and indefinite suspen- sion imposed for refusing to play in yesterdays game with Brooklyn "is merely a fine excuse to place me on the trading block this winter,," was expressed tonight by Rogers Hornsby of the Nationals.
 Hornsby, who claims he was dealt with unjustly, made the statement despite repeated official announce ment by Sam Breadon, president of the club, that Hornsby neither would be sold nor traded.
 Hornsby, who has led the National league in batting for the past three years, emphatically denied reports that he had told President Breadon that he would not play in another game with the Cardinals as long as Branch Hickey was manager Of the team.
 Explaining his action in imposing the fine and suspension, Breadon said he could not make any excep- ton for Hornsby in the matter of discipline, and that the players re- fused to appear in the lineup after physician had pronounced him in condition to play.
 Hornsby, who has been afflicted with a skin disease for three weeks, added that he had requested an ad- ditional days lay off to get in shape to play.
