McNeely Has Banner Day.
AS for McNeely. he enjoyed a ban
ner day of it. Not only did he con-
meet for three singles and double.
but made couple of plays that hardly
could be betterred for spectacular
qualities. The first of these developed
in the sixth, when Burke, a pinch hit
ter. raised a little fly in short center
that neither Harris nor Bluege could
get under. Mac Sprinted in with the
speed of an express train and dived
headlong to spear the pellet. After

one-hand grab of Emory's drive. Earl
lost his balance and fell with a thud,
but kept tight clutch on the ball.
1t is no novelty for McNeely to get
his share Of hits. 1t will be recalled
that he compiled an average of $3.50
with the Griffmen in the fag end of
last season. 1t was the caliber of
his blows yesterday that were signifi-
cant. All were well met, sound drives
characteristic of a real hitter rather
than a lucky one. It may be that

is just finding himself.

REV. C. v. HARRIS HAS
RESIGNED TO TAKE new
CHARGE AT LUBBOCK

Rev. George Vernon Harris has re-
signed as rector of the Flagstaff Epis-
copal church and has accepted a call
to Lubbock, Texas. For a little over
two years Mr.. Harris has been rec
tor of Epiphany church and the asso-
ciated church in Winslow. The resig-
nation is to take effect as soon as
Bishop Atwood can secure a successor,
either May 1 or June 1.
The many friends Mr.. and Mrs.
Harris have made here will deeply re-
gret their leaving, but will be glad to
know that the new call is promotion,
with substantial increase in salary.
Mr. Harris came here from Missis-
sippi, where he had been rector for
three years, preceding which he served
an apprenticeship of year in Geor-
gia.
Bishop Atwood is to be at the Epis-
copal church on Easter Sunday night,
at which time he is to consecrete the
church and also administer the rite of
confirmation. The bishop is to resign
in the fall of this year, and this may
be his last visit to Epiphany church.
He has served the church in Arizona
for 20 years and for Is of these years
he has filled the office of bishop. The
church will lose a good servant and
the state a leading citizen and pro-
moter.

BUSINESS MEN WANT
SOLICITORS ORDINANCE

Flagstaff Business and Professional
Mems association held its regular
monthly meeting on Monday night at
the Rotary room, beginning with a
very eatable luncheon served by the
ladies of the Episcopal church.
President Billy Switzer presided,
and after an hour discussing local
business problems the members SEEM
ed reluctant to adjourn.
Ralph Davis reported for special
committee that it was engaged with
City Attorney f. w. Perkins in draw
ing up a resolution acceptable to the
city council for licensing of house to
house solicitors. After a general dis
cussion, in which X. j. Nackard, Will
lis Brown, Mayor Loren Cress, Joe
Schmidt, John M. Clark, County At
torney Frank Harrison and Sid Gass-
man took part, it was decided to ask
council to require solicitors to pay in
advance a minimum quarterly fee of
$50; also to give acceptable bond for
$500 that their goods would be ship
ped and be of quality promised. The
latter clause is for the protection of
the general public.
President Switzer announced that
the next meeting will be the last
Monday night in April, at $50 dim
ner, for which attendance is to be se-
cured by Messrs. McIlwaine and john
son. Sid Gassman was appointed to
arrange a program for next meeting,
with the help of Mr.. Webber.
