RALLY WINS FOR

Climb Back Into Lead.

6RlFFITH'S STADIUM, Washing
ton oct. Thirtyfive thousand
baseball fans, shiyering befor4 the
blasts of chilly, wintry, wind,
saw the Senators defeat the Pitts
burgh Pirates today by score of
to 3, going back into the lead
for the 1925 baseball championship
with a one-game lead
The American League champions
fought an uphill game all the way.
The Pirates scored one in the sec
ond, Washington tying in the third
inning. In the fourth the Pitts
burghers showed another man across
the plate again taking the lead
They added another in the sixth
frame which gave them momentary
two-run margin. In their half of
the same inning Goose" Goslin
slammed out homer making the
count 3 and z, with the Pirates
on the long end seventh inning
rally gave the Champions two more
runs and the game.
Catch Saves Game.
The on-run lead thus gained was
enough to win the third game of
the series but it looked mighty
small for a second in the eighth
inning. Marbery. who went to the
mound for the Senators after Fer
guson had been taken out for a
pinch hitter, famed Wright and
Grantham, the first two men to
face him. Earl Smith, Pirate back
stop and dangerous hitter, picked
out one of Marberry's hooks to his
liking and slammed it on the nose
for what looked like a home run
which would have tied the score
tight. Rice went far after it,
spearing it running at top speed
1t was the most remarkable catch
ever made in Worlds Series
game.
Pitching Duel Staged.
Kremer and Ferguson staged
pretty pitching duel until the lat
ter made way for a pinch hitter in
the seventh. Both were credited
with five strikeouts. Ferguson was
found for but six hits, one for three
bases but he walked three men and
hit another Kremer was found for
ten safeties, including Goslins hon.
er and Judges two-bagger. He
walked two men.
Pittsburgh made its first errors of
the series Carey dropped fly from
Peck's bat in the second inning but
it did no damage. In the third
inning, Wright drew Grantham off
first base with wild throw, but
this mscue was also harmless as
Grantham relayed to the plate in
time to catch Judge who had at
tempted to come home from second
base.

start. He walked Moore. Pirate

HOPI INDIAN DANCERS
IN DEMAND ON COAST

That Walter Lewis and his band OF
Hopi Indian dancers are gaining fame
since they exhibited here some weeks
ago is evidenced in their being asked
to appear at the opening of the large
new hotel at Arrowhead lake, a fash
ionable resort in the mountains out
from Los Angeles. Lewis has letters
from managers of vaudeville circuits
who wish to witness the novelty of
the wierd dances and the beauty OF
the original costuming with the pros
poets of booking the act.
Jack Fuss this week painted a Hopl
village scene for background for the
butterfly and buffalo dances to be
given under his direction at the
Orpheum Saturday night. The band of
Ia men and girls will emerge from a
specially constructed kiva as on the
reservation, instead of from the wings
as when given here before.
Clyde Zerby, director of the 49
celebration here, also wrote asking
for a chance to book them at a pag-
cant he is putting on in Houston this
winter. Walter Lewis will, about the
first of the month, take his band to
California for two weeks tryout and

NEW MEMBERS FACULTY

Northern Arizona Teachers college
will begin its twenty-sixth year Mon
day, September 28, with an antici-
pated attendance in excess of last year
BY rs to 80 per cent. The training
school in all departments will register
students on Monday at 8. Already all
the rooms in Campbell and Morton
halls have been reserved and most Of
the rooms in Bury hall. All the rooms
in Taylor hall have been reserved by
men and it is possible that a partition
will have to be made in Bury hall to
take care of the influx of men. Under
existing conditions, as stated by
school authorities, it is probable that
all faculty members will have to seek
accommodation off the campus dur
ing the year 1925-2G.
For the first time in 26 years, the
institution, now teachers college, has
authority to organize and introduce

KAIBAB DEER ARE FAT

Supervisor Bob Taylor, DR.. Felix

clerk of supervisors, and Sid Gassman
got home late Friday afternoon from
the Fredonia country in this county
north of Grand Canyon, after an eight
day trip. They went by way of Lees
Ferry, returning through Gallup.
Of especial interest just now, since
the deer season opens so soon and IN
view of the killing to be done in the
national game preserve in the Kaibab
forest up there, is the news they bring
back that the deer are almost without
exception hog fat. They saw very
few thin fawns, but the older animals
were both fat and tame. In two
hours drive they counted ACT deer
The fawns were frightened by the car,
the does and' old bucks felt perfectly
safe to stand quietly 80 feet away
and watch the car speed past.

FLAGSTAFF FURNISHING
PHOENIX VEGETABLES

Flagstaff is turning the dinner
tables on Phoenix, for, whereas we ~'et
lots of fruits and seasonable vege-
tables there, this fall we have begun
shipping lots Of seasonable vegetables
there.
One ranch near Flagstaff within a
short time will have shipped 10 car
loads of vegetables to the Salt River
valley metropolis. Two of these cars
already have been shipped--one last
week and one the first of this week.
TheNvegetables include lettuce, cau-
Iliflower, cabbage, carrots, turnips and
rutabegas, all the 10 ears coming from
25 acres of land. The recent rains hit
the lettuce crop pretty hard, splitting
the heads and causing an estimated
loss on the lettuce of about $1,000. But
much lettuce was shipped before the
rains began and it is believed the
other vegetables will yield sufficient
profit to make the little truck patch
pay handsome profit.

indicated by our school enrolment
has been accompanied by very much
smaller increase in business and resi-
dence facilities.
If you are inclined to doubt the
above figures showing the extent of
recent building operations here, please
understand that they are under
rather than overestimated.
For Flagstaff's taxable prop
erty valuations were increased
100000 during the year ending
June 80, 1926.
Closely related to this building and
valuations increase is the half-million
dollar Improvement work now going
on in connection with our city water
works system. Perhaps our building
program has been hampered some in
the last two years by water shortage
and up to the first of this year by
uncertainty as to what was going to
be done about it. But now, with as
surance of an abundant supply of the
best water for all purposes, any fear
of future water shortage is allayed
and this guarantee of plenty of that
essential will stimulate our building
program. Certainly it will very
greatly stimulate residence improve
ments, for the ordinance requiring
undermining all residences and com
nection with sewers, not enforced dur
ing the water shortage, as soon as the
