medium upright and the fiat swing. If
you are an average business man golf

as your goal and begin to master it.
Work entirely with the swing. You
can practice it better without, ball

FLAGSTAFF MAN HURT
WHEN CAR TURNED OVER

Fred Nichols nephew of X. J.
Nackard of Flagstaff, and an un-
known man of Jerome narrowly es-
capped death last Saturday evening on
the Prescott road 10 miles below Ash
fork when Fred's car turned over,
The Jerome man suffered a broken
hip and Fred lost three teeth, his jaw
was knocked out Of place and several
ribs were bruised
Fred was on his way to Phoenix,
where he was to begin work Monday
for a mercantile company. He left
here in his Maxwell touring car ac-
companied by the Jerome man whose
name he didn't know and who wanted
to ride to Prescott.
At Ashfork the other man asked If
he might drive. Fred agreed. Just
as it was getting dark, little after
six, they met a Buick sedan, which
Fred says held the middle of the
road and passed them at better than
65 miles an hour. Whose car it was
he doesn't know, except that it car
ried Coconino county license.
Fred says his car was going at
about 81 miles. Turned INTO the loose
gravel at the side of the road to avoid
collision with the other car, it was
cramped too sharply getting back into
the road with the result that it shot
clear across the road and off the
slight bank, turning over and right
side up. Fred landed on his head. He
was smoking a pipe, which probably
accounted for his broken teeth. His
companion was unconscious for more
than an hour. A Winslow car took
the two men back to Ashfork. There
doctor advised that the Jerome
man be taken to the Prescott hospital,
which Fred had done at once, coming
on then to Flagstaff to get fixed up.
He left his car at the scene Of the ac-
cident to be taken care of by a near
by farmer.

GAMMAGE SAYS ROTARY
AN INFLUENCE TOWARD
INTERNATIONAL PEACE

Two birthdays-those of George
Washington and International Rotary
which occurred on the 22nd and 21st
respectively-were fittingly commem-
morated at Tuesdays Rotary meet
ing in the fine program arranged by
Art Riordan, chairman for the day.
Also, Art had everything decorated
up natalus, with red, white and blue
candles in rustic candlesticks, table
streamers with the national colors,
many flags and natural greenery.
DR.. NJ. G. Fronske, president, call
ed to order. Secretary Geo. T. Her
rington revealed the fact that next
Tuesday IS nomination day and the
last meeting in the month election
day.
Then Art took hold and introduced
Grady Gammage, vice-president Flag
staff Teachers college, whose message
is always worth while. Tuesday it
was on the sixth object of Rotary
The advancement of understanding,
goodwill, and international peace
through world-fellowship of busi-
ness and professional men united in
the Rotary ideal of service" The
speaker expressed confidence that
permanent peace is much nearer full
filment through the influence of Ro-
tary with its membership in every
civilized country.
Tom L. Rees spoke on Washington,
the man and what he accomplished,
comprising a multitude of interesting
and inspiring facts about the father
of our country into his brief talk.

CHARGE OF ST NOW MADE
TO ENTER GRAND CANYON

Reductions by more than one-half
in the fees charged for automobiles
entering seven national parks was an
nounced at the interior department.
The larger parks affected include
the Yellowstone national park in
Wyoming where the fee is reduced
from $3.50 to. So; the Yosemite ma
tionaI park in California, the de
crease in the fee being from So to SO;
and the Glacier national park in Mon
tana, the reduction in the fee being
from $3.50 down to 81. Others are
the Crater national park in Oregon
with a reduction in the fee from $3.50
to 81; the Mesa Verde national park
in Colorado from S1.50 to 81; the
Mount Rainier national park in Wash
ington from $3.50 to 81; and the Sc
quota national park in California from
$3.50 to 81. The fee in the General
Grant national park in California re-
mains unchanged at 80 cents.
In addition new entrance fees were
established for the south rim of the
Grand Canyon in Arizona and Zion
national park in Utah. No fee has
been previously charged in these
parks, but the cost of increased fa-
cilities of these areas resulted in the
necessity for charging small entrance
fees. The fee approved for the Grand
Canyon is 81, and that for Zion so
cents.
The automobile entrance fee charg-
ed in the national park is similar to
the license fee exacted by the various
states. Payment Of this entrance fee
at any national park permits the
operation of the automobile upon all
of the roads Of that park throughout
the entire season. In addition motor
lists may use, without charge, the pub
lie camp grounds of the parks, many
of which are provided with electric
lights, running water and other sani-
tary facilities, fire-wood, and other
conveniences.

MAYBE FLAGSTAFF WON'T
MAYBE FLAGSTAFF WILL
WIN STATE CASABA MEET

The Northern Arizona Teachers
college Lumberjacks leave here on
Thursday morning for Phoenix, where
they will compete in the junior college
(fourth) annual basketball tourna-
ment Friday and Saturday.
The Lumberjacks have had this
season by far the most stringent bas-
ketball schedule outlined for them in
the history of the institution. The
college itself is in the transition per-
iod, having only recently been made
over from a two-year normal school
to standard four-year college. The
schedule in former years consisted
mostly of northern Arizona high
school teams with an occasional barn
storming professional club taken
merely to tickle the casaba appetite
of local adherents of the thing basket
ball
With the coming of Coach Tai Jes-
suppe to Flagstaff, the athletic sit
uation has undergone change moth
ing less than phenomenal. In foot
ball, Jerome, 1924 northern Arizona
champs, was the only high school on
the grid schedule. The 1926 schedule,
NANCAAiEf1CkIN at btiAS FiibiAi -
will not contain any high schools, ac-
cording to information recently made
public by f. c. Osborn, chairman of
the athletic board of control.
The basketball schedule for the sea
son just closed was in keeping with
the new policy to book only college
games for the varsity squad. In the
absence of any conference rules or
regulations, freshman members of the
college who can measure up to the
hard tests and have the native ability
and capacity to make the varsity are
not barred. The second string bas-
ketball men have been meeting the
high schools in the northern Arizona
loop.
The rejuvenated Lumberjacks thus
far have not carried off any cham
pionships nor have they been crowned
with any laurels by visiting notables.
They have, however, earned monu-
ment of prestige, and, moreover, they
have instilled fear in the hearts Of

The purchasing company will, The
Sun is reliably informed, present the
property to the United States govern
ment. c. B. Wilson of Flagstaff was
the attorney for the company in the
transaction. He is not in Flagstaff
and could not be reached yesterday.
The transfer to the property was this
week filed with County Recorder

The Bass property is 80 miles west
of Ell Tovar hotel. There are a num-
Der of unpatented mining claims in
the canyon, a trail into the canyon
and millsite, comprising probably
about five acres, on the rim.
The company's object is in line with
the desire of the national park au-

within the bounds of reason as TO

land lying within the park confines,
especially of such land as may be on

Kinlani building on Friday night from
z till 8 when they received congratu-

were fully justified for this new store

the state
Throngs wound their way down the
aisles up the broad handsome stair
way to the mezzanine at the rear
where a view of the spacious room as
whole was most attractive There
was practically no attempt at special
decoration, though flowered lattices
at the tops of the large central pill
lars gave festive note. Doc Will
liams' orchestra added to the pleas
ure of the evening. After admiring
and inspecting the fine new furniture,
fixtures and displays the crowd made
itself at home and stayed until the
orchestra played Home Sweet Home.
Ladies were presented with carna-
tions, gentlemen with cigars and chill
dren were given lollypops.

ley Saturday night where the crack
and so far unbeaten Coconino Sun
quintet were practicing, and casually
started to bowl. On the blackboard
was chalked the high score enduring
that week-201 made by Bill Katus.
High score each week gets box oil
cigars. Katus was chucklingly con-
fident that in the few minutes left no
one would unseat him. But when
Walter and Earl we're through their
half-hour's exercise, Walter had tied
the Katus score and Earl had rolled
PIP, coping off the weeks prize. It
was the first bowling Earl had done
in a year, otherwise he'd have been
intensely chagrined with mere 212.
