H. S. TEAMS OFF
TO TUCSON AT
4 P. M. TODAY

The high school track and field
team, together with the students who
are entered in educational events,
tennis and drama leave at 4 p. m.
today for Tucson where they are
scheduled to take part in the Uni
versity Week program.
Coach Van Antwerp is taking
Causey, Wright, Mcclure and Stevens
as nucleus for the track team and
perhaps Young, McKinnon, Aguilar,
Hood and Maloney as second string
ers. The team is not large but those
participating have the power to bring
in points for the local school
Joe Causey, state record holder in
the pole vault, will endeavor to
brea khis record this year and the
chances are very bright that he will.
He has been vaulting six inches
higher than ever before and with a
good day should clear the bar well
above II feet. Causey will also
take part in the shot put and broad
jump. In the latter event he is al
most equally to the present state
record of 21 feet 2 inches.
"Brog" Wright, middle distance
runner, is doped to give all entrants
race for honors. Wright finished
third last year and has been con-
sistently breaking his past record.
! James Mcclure, hurdler although
quite short in stature, is getting
over the high and low sticks in good
style. He has made no record break
ing time this year but is depended
upon to place in these events
Ben Stevens, elongated frosh, is
giving Wright a close race in the
mile and half mile and may prove
the dark horse" of the meet. He
has natural ability and an easy
stride which should prove valuable
in the longer event.
Mary HickoX, Margaret Doty, Cora
Burnett, Ruth Foreman, Marion Ham
mill and Clara Bell Chaplin will
represent the high school in edu-
cational events. There will be two
entrants in each subject.
Douglas Cary and Winona Bryan
will represent the high school in
the tennis tournament which starts
Friday morning. Only one entry is
allowed to play, althogh two are
entered, one being an alternate.
Douglas high school holds the
state tennis title and it depends upon
Cary to. hold this title for Douglas.
Wesley Schlotzhauer, Hector Padres,
Cora Burnett and j. e. Carlson, Jr.,
will furnish cars to transport the
contestants to Tucson.
The contests continue from Friday
morning through Saturday evening.

Debut of Nevers.

"The Babe looks good at the bat
even when he strikes out"
That remark is often made as Ruth,
after taking three healthy swings in
vain, retires to the bench for the
customary drink.
There is something inspiring in
the cut Ruth takes at a ball whether
he hits a home run For misses it a
mile.
Ernie Neyers, famous Stanford ath-
lete, made his major league debut in
a recent game against Cleveland.
Southpaw Joe Shaute struck him out,
yet Nevers impressed you with his
batting power despite his failure to
hit safely.
He didn't give the umpire a chance
to call any. The first swing resulted
in a long foul to left. On his next
effort he sent a long fly to right that
just failed to drop into the stands
but it was also foul.
The third pitch was a fast ball,
high and inside. He took a terrific
wallop but missed and was out. He
reminded you of the Babe, except
that he bats right-handed.

The Douglas high school rifle team
will leave for Fort Huachuca Friday
to participate in the state rifle com

of the local team is confident that
they will bring back a good share Of
the honors. The team has been
coached by Lieutenant Triplett and
several sergeants of the army and
have the boys in good shape to
shoot The team was selected on a
competitive basis, the weaker shots
being eliminated.

Fred Baugh, who recently arrived
here from Nogales showed good form
on the mound for the locals and kept
Bisbee's nine hits well scattered.
Pereya, lnew outfielder for the
Blues, formerly with Nogales, showed
up we'll in center field and should be
a valuable acquisitin to the locals
outfield troi. Buck" Weaver also
had a good day at shortstop, making
several sensational plays, while Nc
CormaclS, who played right field, and
Chase at first were there with the
big stick. Mac" hammered out a
double and single, being respon-
sibIe for the Blues lead while Chase
crashed through with two hits. On
a play to catch one of the locals at
first in the fourth, Chase, who was
on second got an early start and
stole home before the Bisbee battery
quite caught on to what was going
on.
Harper hurled fair ball for the Bees
but was tonched for nine hits which
were we'll punched while the eight
misplays which the miners made
proved very costly. The Bisbee hurler
allowed but three hits until the sew
enth when Douglas got to. him heav-
ily
Seven of Bisbee's nine hits came in
the fifth and sixth innings, but the
Blues pulled out with the bases full
in the sixth with a double play.
Herbstreith to Lindsay to Chase was
one double play with Craig to Garrity
to Stradley being the other.
Chase got two hits for the Blues
as did Mccormack, with Herbstreith,
weaver. Lindsay and Pereya each
making "a hit. Douglas has six stolen
bases to it's credit which meant a
great deal in winning the battle.
Garrity accounted for two hits for
Bisbee, as did Tate and Kucera with
Manager Stradley getting but one.

Subway Delivery.

At college, Nevers was Stanford's
star pitcher as well as halfback. He
also was as proficient batsmen as
pitcher. He won many of his i'm
portant games through his hitting as
much as his pitching.
Nevers is the ideal athlete, as far
as physique is concerned, to be a
successful pitcher. A six-footer, the
possessorv of a powerful pair of shoul-
ders, he gets plenty on the ball.
In college, and at present, Nevers
is an underhand pitcher. His style
is somewhat similar to that of Carl
Mays, except that he doesn't get as
low with his arm and body before
delivering the ball.
During spring t%2ining the ST.
Louis club had him experiment with
sidearm delivery, believing that he
might prove more effective, due large
ly to the thought that he would de-
velop better control.
Nevers still sticks to the under
hand style and is good prospect,
his greatest fault, of course, being
lack of experience.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-05-06
HOrnSby Logic.

Manager Rogers Hornsby of the
ST. Louis Cardinals is generally con-
sidered basebalPs greatest batter at
the present time. A pitcher who can
trouble Hornsby certainly must have
something on the ball.
Recently while discussing the pen
nant chances of his club with me, he
dwelled on the fact that he expected
Vic Keen and Walter Huntzinger to
win for him.
Last season Huntzinger was used
almost exclusively as relief pitcher
by the New York Giants, while the
best Keen could do with the Chicago
Cubs was win two games while suf-
fering six defeats. He worked in
parts of 80 games.
While Hornsby is mighty modest
about his hitting ability, 1 appre4
ciated the logic of his remarks when
he explained to me why he made the
deals for Keen and Huntzinger.
Both those birds were mighty
tough for me to make base hits on,
so L figured them worth a chance as
regulars.
Both pitchers have already justi-
fled Hornsby's confidence. In the
first 10 days of play, Keen had won
his first two starts, as many vic
tories as he hung up all last season.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-05-06

Harper walked four men and Baugh
three but the Douglas pitcher had
things under control at all times.
Herbstreith, although being accredit-
ed with three errors, played a stellar
game at third, making three put outs
and nine assists.
Douglas lined up with Chase at
first, Lindsay at second, Weaver at
short, and Herbstreith at third. Col
Inns caught Baugh, with Pereya, Will
liams and Mccormack in the outfield.

statement that more base hits are

plate, than on strikes that cut the
heart.
While I have noted that fact dur
ing my many years of umpiring, it
was forcibly brought to my attention
recently by the conversation of two
mighty good batters.
Catcher Hargraves of the ST. Louis
club had just popped up to the in
field on perfect strike, right over
the plate, waist high. Just such a
ball you would expect to be hit out
'of the lot.
AS Hargraves resumed his place

inning, he remarked to Iris Speaker,
the first man up for Cleveland:
"How do you pop 'em up that way
when they are right over?"
That's always the way with those

Court. In both of these measures
the Democrats Joined almost soidly
with the majority in putting over
the administration program.
Therefore the Democrats can
make no issue out Of the World
Court. And they are no better OF
so far as the tax bill is concerned
because most of them lined up for
the administration measure. 1t is
now planned to adjourn Congress in
Nav or June and if this is done little
time remains for the making OF
issues.
Some of the Democratic leaders
hope to make an issue out OF the
tariff. but even this is embarrassing
to them. For protective tariff SEN
timent is growing surprisinglyin the
south in Democratic strongholds
and is not nearly so much of par
ty issue as it was a few years ago.
The Democrats will enter the Sen
atorial campaign, of course, with a
decided advantage in the fact that
in all close states where Senators
are to be elected, the present incum-
bnt is a Republican. This means
that the Democrats have several
chances to gain Senators, but are IN
no danger of losing any. But this
advantage is somewhat Offset by the
lack of issues. Senatorial campaigns
however, are more or less personal
and issues do not always count so
much. But the election Of 1928 is
looming ahead and up to this time
the Democrats have made no prepa-
ration for it in the way of issues.
Unless they can repair the situation
materially within the next two years
the chances will remain decidedly
favorable to the Republicans. At
least this is the general opinion of
nearly all impartial observers.

THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION

Political leaders Of all sorts in
Washington are somewhat interest
ed now in watching the course Of
those who have the fortunes Of the
Democratic party in charge and it
is admitted that the path Of the lieu
tenants Of the party Of Jefferson Is
not an easy one.
For the Democrats are having
more difficulty in getting hold Of a
live issue than they have expert
enced in some years. The record Of
the Democrats in Congress up to
this time has not been conducive
of good issues. This is admitted by
such staunch Democratic organs as
the New York World; and Senator
Jim Reed, the brilliant and caustic
Missourian recently charged his
Democratic compatriots in the SEN
ate with having joined the Republi-
can party.
Up to this time the session Of Con-
gress, or more especially the Sem
ate where issues are generally made,
has been busy with two principal
subjects-the tax bill and the World
