CANNONBALL BAKER
STOPS IN WINSLOW
ON TRIP TO COAST

Driving a new Oldsmobile six en-
route from New York to Los Angeles,
in high gear, "Cannonball' Baker,
nationally famous automobile racer,
arrived here Monday and after short
stop left on his way for the Pacific
Coast.
The car left New York on October
8. with all gears except high remov-
ed. The automobile was inspected by
newspapermen to see that no second,
low or reverse gears were in the
transmission and it was then official
lv sealed. This is the first time
any automobile, let alone one in the.
low price class, has ever tried suchs
a feat.
Thus far, Baker said, no trouble
has been encountered and every grade
has been made with ease. He ex-
poets that the balance of the run to
the coast will also be put across"
without trouble, saying that this new
six offers most exceptional hill climb
ing power due to it's rugged construc-
ton, proper gear ratio and the AZ
horsepower engine used in its manu-
facture.
The car used is standard, stock
touring car and nothing, it is SAID,
has been altered, with the exception
Of removing the other speed gears
from the transmission, and this was
done to forestall any claims that the
entire trip was not made in high,
after the car reaches the Pacific coast.
The gear ratio, clutch. transmission,
engine and entire chassis used on
this trip are standard and included
in every Oldsmobile built.
Baker himself is an unusually in
teresting figure in automobile racing
circles. He has crossed the continent
g. times by automobile and motor
cycle. In 1920 he took but four days
hours and % minutes to cross the
continent, actual driving time Other
records by automobile include speed
contests, endurance runs, economy
tests and runs between nearly every

ON HOLBROOK TEAM

Upsetting the dope Winslow Hi held

nations and forward passes to the
best advantage
Every man on thelocal team play
ed exceptional football. The inter
ference of the line was, one of the
features of the game. No less strik-

field. With both the line and the
back field working with machine-like

Hi.
Rushing made the first touchdown
of the game in the first quarter, with
an off-tackle run. Holbrook held the
local team scoreless in the second
quarter. Evans went over the line
for touchdown in the third quarter
with an end run In the fourth quart
er WinSlow linemen cleared decks
opening the way for Hubbard to
make two touchdowns, one line
plunge, the other an off-tackle run.
HOlbrook played consistent foot
ball. The line showed up well but
in the pinches failed to gain ground.
The linemen broke Thorough Wins

blocking the ball. The back field was
fast and made a. good showing.

like veteran. Holbrook was at a
serious disadvantage in that the play
ers were unable to hold the ball.
When the squad was in a position to
do something, some player would
muff the oval, with the result that
the local warriors would pounce upon
it.
Thornton, right end on the local
team made a spectacular run of 50
yards during the game, carrying the
ball to Holbrook's five-yard line Tully
at left end made some stellar tackles
and upset the mighty White in his
plunges. Clark, quarter back, picked
his plays we'll Hubbard, Evans and
Rushing carried the ball for long
gains.
Both teams were about evenly
matched in weight; Holbrook, if any
thing, was the heavier of the two
squads. DR.. E. G. Gilpin refereed the
contest
A large number of students and fans
from Winslow attended the game
There were about as many rooters
for the local team as for the Hol-
brook aggregation, and as for noise
Winslow won that too. The Hypep
club is certainly stirring up high
school spirit, which is likewise af-
fecting the townspeople.

ONE ROUS|NC TINE
At ELkS BIG feed
Elkdom reigned in Winslow las

Elkdom reigned in Winslow last
night
With their crack band playing
Hail! The Gangs All Here, Elks,
300 strong, marched into Kelly's dance
hall early in the evening for their
annual banquet. And talk about a
a Kings table.
The eats were served cafeteria
style with dat deah OF south'n re-
lish Plate after plate of broiled
chicken, sweet peas, mashed potatoes
with savory gravy, and all the other
fixin's and entrees to numerous to
mention, went round with the salads
and deserts. Three hundred of them,
but these were not enough. Three
hundred more went round and per-
hapS more.
After the feast when every Elk's
appetite had been satisfied, decks
were cleared for rousing entertain
ment In the meantime the orches-
ira treated the elite with their re-
nowned symphonies and scintillating
Jazz. Smokes went round but the
orchestra could not be bothered with
such frivolities. The boys played
and played, played who's Sorry
Now, THAT Red Headed Gal', "B.
b., mo, No, Nora, Or No Mo-, Have
a Piece of Cake, and Barney Goog-
le', to mention a few tantalizing
pieces. III say the boys played. And
if you only could have heard the
Elks sing yes, We Have No Bana-
mas" There never was such harm
ony.
With everyone in a great mood the
entertainment began, and it was one
entertainment Everyone felt like
lark and was in for a hilarius time
The first number on the program was
a boxing bout between Gunboat Stan
ley and Airplane Arnold. These
heavies fought three furious rounds
trying to injure each other, and after
all their trouble the referee, with the
wisdom of Solomon, called the fight
draw.
Then followed a savage battle be-
tween Wise Kid PanchO Villa ana
the Mexican Kid Appendicitis, nick
named Garpunio. This was not
prize fight but battle. The referee
in his great wisdom also called this
bout a draw. Garduno would have
undoubtedly won if he had taken time
out for hair cut.
Following this number Kid Snyder
and Professor Gilpin staged the set
to of the evening. Both of these
giants pommeled each other, but as
neither was able to score a knock
down they tangled with the referee
and beat him up.
At this stage of the smoker the
two diamond rings which the Elks
have been selling chances on, were
ratified off. One went to Charley
Cooley of Holbrook, and the other to
c. D. Jenkins.
After the rattle a wrestling match
was staged between Archie Garduno
and Mack, the Barber. Garduno was
the first to bring blood but failed to
win the match.

SHEEP HERDER SHOOTS SELF
ACCIDENTALLY With 2 RIFLE

While Jose ChiniQue was herding a
band-of sheep Sunday on the range
near the Quayle ranch, he heard re-
port of a gun, and turned to his
companions and asked them who
fired They replied that they did not
know, but suggested that it was pro-
badly some one hunting.
Suddenly Chinique felt something
warm trickling down his arm; he
looked to see what it was and saw
blood issuing from bullet hole in
his wrist. He had accidentally shot
himself with the % rife, which he
was carrying, and did not know it.
He was brought to Winslow Sunday
to have an X-ray picture taken of his
arm in order to remove the bullet.
The picture showed that the lead had
shifted it's position from where it
had originally lodged, moving up the
arm above the elbow, where it was
removed
The wound was dressed and is
healing so we'll that even now Jose
hardly is aware that he accidentally
shot himself.

NEWSPAPER SCRIBE
TAKES VICIOUS SLAP
AT WINSLOW PEOPLE

Clippings from the Kansas City
Kansan have been handed the Mail.
They were written by one of the
scribes of that newspaper, woman,
who was marooned here during the
recent flood, Excerpts from the
clippings will be of startling news
to the people of Winslow.
''The progressive Winslowian who
set up his merry-go-round and open
ed three of his carnival side shows
in order to corral a few of the rest
less shekels of the tourists was sue
ceeding so we'll that few other re-
sOurceful citizens rented vacant
store room and gave a public dance
last night. And as the drug stores
had run out of ice cream, three tenn
porary ice cream 'parlors were open
ed for the refreshment of the dan
GERS. One was in the White Front
drug store and was operated by the
ladies Of the Catholic church, another
was in the bakery under the aus
pices of the Baptist ladies' aid The
third was in the Odd Fellows Hall
and was managed by the Rebekahs.
1.-THE cream was made of canned
milk with plenty of lemon flavoring
and was best described as sloppy"
but it sold we'll and when the supply
of 'Carnation' and Pet brands and
'Bordens had been exhausted the
resourceful ladies offered 'sherbet'
of water and-well, l am not positive
what the and was"
To say the least this is startling
to the Baptist, Catholic and Rebekah
n
WinslOw.
A second extract: Stationery, post
cards, candies, tobacco, cigars, soap,
fruit and curios, are retailing at ex-
orbitant prices. The movie theater
is running four shows day instead
of it's usual one school children
have turned vendors and are selling
peaches, flowers, home made candy,
cookies and pop corn
One would think from this report
that our business men robbed the
poor tourists and that even our
school children were money mad.
Another excerpt: yesterday af-
ternoon | met a nurse at the drug
store. She is attached to small
military sanitarium here for tuber-
culosis. She invited me to go out
with her to visit the place, and al
most the first patient I saw there
was Pink Farris, a boy who used to
cook at our canteen in France. Pink
is a CON se-convalescent, going
to get we'll He came back to the
train with me and when he and the
nurse left they had ten novels, a
stack of magazines and, although
Pink didn't know it, there was an
envelope in his pocket which con-
tanned $2250 for fruit shower for
the boys"
It may not be amiss to say that
the editor has lived here a number
of years and that he wonders just
where that small military SANTA
rum" is.
The writer of the letters from
which these excerpts are lakeland
these are not the only Objectionable
ones-might employ some of the
charity which she profusely mani
Pfests, in not vilifying respectable
women and in not circulating false
statements. President Harding S
newspaper motto is evidently too
much of an ideal for some people IN
the profession.

AM. LEGION DELEGATES
BACK FROM THE COAST

One of the best conventions in the
history of the American Legion.
This is the declaration of the Frank
Perkins post delegates who have re-
turned from the American Legion
National convention held last week
in San Francisco. AT least 5000 de-
legates and alternates and 125, 900
visitors from all parts of the world
attended the convention.
A great many constructive meas
ures were adopted by the convention.
Provision was made that all legisla-
ton concerning disabled men will
have priority over other measures. A
number of u S. Senators, including
Hiram Johnson and Kete Pitman,
ranking member of the Senate, as
sured the Legion of absolute cooper
alton on all measures presented to
the legislative body.
Considerable debate resulted from
the introduction of several resolutions
relative to the stand the Legion
should take with reference to the Ku
Klux Khan Southern delegates loos-
ened a great deal of floWery oratory
for the Klan, and this resulted in the
delegations going on record that the
question of Klanism did not belong
in the American Legion An order
purely American with 100 percent
| Americanism cannot and will not re-
| cogniZe factional sides.
Election of officers was one of the
noisiest scenes ever enacted in any

Wild LIFE OF KA|DAB
SURVEYED BY STROBE

Writing in the Miami Daily Silver
Belt, Bill STROBE, who has made
survey of game conditions in the
Grand Canyon national game preser-
We, gives some interesting informa-
ton on the wild life of the Kalbab
plateau Mr. Strobe writes:
DEER
"The deer of the Kaibab plateau
of the Grand Canyon national game
preserve are all mule deer. There
are no tailed deer among them.
Their numbers are conservat1vely
estimated at $4,000. The increase
this year is estimated at 5000. Next
year it is expected to exceed 10000.
They are not very wild, due to many
years of complete protection, and
may be observed at different seasons
in numbers from individual deer
travelling alone to groups of as many
as $50.
Owing to favorable conditions ex-
listing in the preserve, about 70 per
cent of the Does give berth to two
fawns each year. according to obser-
vations made by the park o1lclals.
