The local team has been out nearly

for the utility backfield position.

list are Moore, McCord, Ma1oney, c.

THE PENNANr SITUATION

1t now seems practically certain that
both major league races will go to the
final series, if not the final game of
the season, before a decision is reached
as to the two pennant winners.
The National League race has been q
hectic affair since the opening of the
season. 1t has now narrowed down to
practically two clubs, st. Louis and
Cincinnati.
In the American League the COM
manding lead of 10 games that New
York enjoyed with about 40 to play
has been whitfield away until Cleve-
land has good mathematical chance
to win.
1t is more than probable that the
National League race may be decided
on the final day of the season, SO close
is the struggle.
And it is a strang coincidence that
the schedule of the National League
has st. Louis playing Cincinnati in the
latter city on the final day of the race,
Sunday, September 26.

MAY REQUIRE PLAY-oFT

If there is no greater margin than
one game when these two clubs meet,
the outcome of that contest will be
most important.
Should there be a one-game margin,
it will be possible for the team that
is game away to tie up the race by
winning. This would necessitate a
play-off to decide the National League
championship.
In case the two clubs were tied when
they met at Cincinnati, on the out
come of that one game would hinge
the struggle that has lasted throughout
the summer for pennant honors.
There has been only one tie race in
the history of the major leagues. That
was the 1908 campaign in the National
when Chicago and New York ended all

DEER HUNTING
IN KAIBAB TO
Be PERMITTED

r. G. Arnold, of Douglas, is in re.
ceipt of a letter from the U. S. Forest
Service department, stating that the
hunting of deer is to be permitted
in the Kaibab national forest this
agreed upon by the state and federal
government. The killing of deer in
the forest will be permitted all during
the month of October. The govern
ment is anxious to have some of the
deer killed because of the domage
the animals are doing to the forest.
The first intention of the govern
ments officials was to permit each
hunter to kill three deer, but state
officials would not agree to this The
district forester and state game ward
en- finally agreed upon a cooperative
hunting plan to be followed in certain
areas, subject to the following regu-
lations:

hunting will be allowed there. Two
hunting areas have been designated

the west side of the mountain. Maps

pervise the removal Of deer from
the reserve.
To prevent overcrowding and acc1
dents, not more than 25 persons will
be allowed in each camp at one time,
Guns must be sealed upon entering
the forest and sealed again after
leaving camp.
Shooting from automobiles and alone
the roads is prohibited. Guides will
be provided and will furnish saddle
and pack horses to hunters.
Auto roads lead to all camps in the
Kiabab forest area. There Will be
two checking stations where govern.
ment agreements and state licenses
may be purchased. Ryan has been
designated as the checking station
for the west side and Kane for the
east side.
Each hunter must have a govern.
ment agreement and state license
before entering the hunting camp
