TO MEET
BISBEE IN End
HALF OPENER

Douglas Blues will dash into action
for the second half of the Copper
league season at the Tenth street
at 3:90 o'clock, determined to make
the Bisbee Bees their first victims in
a hard struggle for the pennant.
Three games will be played with
the Bees here, the first Saturday
afternoon the second Sunday at $3.50
also and the third Monday after
noon at 4 o'clock. Juarez will
meet III. Raso a. the Pass on these
days while the Chino team will be
playing Fort Bayard.
One of the closest fights ever
seen in this section is expected dur
ing the second half and both Fort
Bayard and Juarez are expected to
find determined opposition from the
other clubs. Bisbee and Douglas
especially are expected to show up
we'll and the Blues are confident
that with a becser pitching staff
which is now assured, they will
bring home the bacon.
When the series with the Bees
opens on saturday, DOuSldS VIII
have Gomez, Underwood and Muir
ply here, ready to hurl their heads
off. The addition of these latter
two pitchers to the locals staff
means a great deal and in the opin-
ion of local fans spells a pennant.
The Blues have strengthened them
selves in every department but that
of pitching during the first half
and now they are up and set there.
It is hoped that Chester, the fast
and heavy hitting catcher of the
Blues will be in the lineup by Sat
urday or Sunday. Ruiz is also re-
ported to- be rounding back into
shape. and may be able to join the
other hurlers Of the Blues in turn
ing in a few victories.
Bisbee is stronger also and, will
show off the new pitcher, Tucker
who did we'll in Juarez last week
end Henry and Weiss will prob
ably take a whack at the locals also
with Zip Lee and Baugh in reserve.

As New York Sees 1t

The mechanical changes in life of
the last quarter century have left but
small trace upon the games of New
York youngsters.
On the sidewalks one sees the old
familiar bean bag, jacks, hop-scotch,
town ball, rope skipping, prisoners
base and "Andy-over." Even soap
boxes with wooden wheels have not
been entirely eliminated by the mod
ern coaster. The sing song calls of the
games, too, have resisted change.

Circle have necessitated raising a wa
ter main high in the air over Broad
way, and the bus conductors at this
point shout, Low bridge. Keep your

One scholarly looking conductor with
horn trimmed spectacles couches his
warning in words which seldom fail
to provoke the mirth of his passeng-
ers. Overhead construction" he says,
