State Limited.
Bush attended the American AS
ISOLATION meeting in Chicago early
in December and also the joint ses-
sion Of the major leagues in New
York the same month. He failed to
make deals at either of the powwows
despite the fRct he talked with about
Everybody he thought held anything
desirable. For this reason Ownie
concluded the Catalina Island affatM

Tribe Executives Attend
William c. Smith, ST., president OF
the Indians, and William c. Smith,
Jr, vice president, will represent the
Hoosier at the Coast gathering.
Bush rushed TO Chicago today to
confer with Owner Smith before the
later boarded the baseball special
The Tribe pilot planned to give
Smith few pointers concerning pos
sible deals if someone cares to do
business with the Indians during the
minor league confab.
Another topic Bush planned to
discuss with Smith is the reports
being circulated that the Cincinnati
Reds are causing confusing rumors
to be broadcast concerning certain
members of the Tribe.
It's the old hearsay racket again.
according to gossip heard among To-
cal winter stove leaguers, and Bush
feels he has a kick to register. He
hasn't learned the foundation of
the rumors, but he does know that
a. number Of his maiustay athletes
have been caused to understand that
Cincinnati wants them, but Indian
apolis won't listen to reason"
Four Players Mentioned

Pontiac Adds De Luxe
Coupe and Sedan to Its
Six Cylinder Car Line

PONTIAC, Mich. Nov. 27.-To the
Pontiac Six line, which the Oakland
Motor Car company declares has had
the greatest sales success of any
new car introduced, in the time it
has been in the market, have been
added two new de luxe types-the
De Luxe coupe and the De Luxe
sedan. These two new types not only
broaden the choice of models on the
famous Pontiac Six chassis, but meet
the demand for an inexpensive six
cylinder closed car with individualized
beauty and elegance
Probably the most distinguishing
features of these de luxe types is
the same Duco finish on tenders and
headlights as well as body and hood
This finish is a modish Peter Pan
blue, with stripping of gold bronbe
and Faire red. The upper decks of
these bodies are finished in Robin
Hood blue, as is the instrument panel.

succession The company has aver
aged 22,4S5 retail deliveries each

previous IL months was the period
ending July 81, 1926, on which date
the 1927 Buick was introduced. In
this time over $4,000 cars were de-
livered to owners.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MEN DISCUSS PLAN TO
CHANGE VALLEYS NAME

That a move is now on foot to
change the name of the Sulphur
Springs valley to some more appro-
pirate and attractive title was learned
Saturday from the local chamber of
commerce, where it was stated that
Robert Hamilton, secretary of the Bis
bee chamber of commerce, had con-
ferred with George 3. Doubleday, sec
retary of the local chamber, relative
to the plan.
At the conclusion of the conference
between the two chamber of commerce
secretaries, it was agreed that the
matter should be placed before the
board of directors of the Douglas
Chamber of Commerce and Mines for
it's approval orl rejection at an early
date
II No definite pfan assto the manner, of
selection of new name for the valley
has been worked out and no statement
regarding the matter will be issued
until after the directors of the local
chamber have considered the plan in
its entirety.
Among the plans which have been
suggested as "a means of selecting a
suitable new name for the valley is to
conduct a prize contest among the
school districts of Douglas and Bisbee.
If the plan meets with the approval
of both the Douglas and Bisbee cham
bers of commerce joint committees
will be appointed to canvass the valley
and ascertain the sentiment of the
valley residents regarding the pro-
posed change.
Those who foster the plan emphasize
the fact that no definite action will be
taken to change the name of the Sui
phur Springs valley unless the plan
meets with the approval OF the actual
residents of the valley "A sE
