By JACK" MARTIN


The impregnable wall has been
battered and demolished; the uncon
querable, defeated.
The Princess sextet has met and
vanquished the champion Metro.
politan teami After many years
OF effort the Totten gang last night
succeeded in swamping the O'Hara
bunch to the tune of 33 to II. And
were the winners happy? Well,
were the French happy when
Suzanne defeated Helen? Figure
that out.
Although the unusual victory
was expected in some quarters. the
score certainly was not anticipated
by even the keenest Of Princess
rooters. Nevertheless, ''thems' the
dggers as was and as stays, and
they mean a great deal that hasn't
been said. For instance
The passing put up by the
Queens Daughters was the best
they have exhibited for the last
three years. and the entire team
work was great.
Spencer, in center, played a
better all-ar0und game than she
has heretofore shown, not only
getting the jump most Of the
time on O'Hara. Of the Nets, but
also playing around i'm her field
defensively and extensively.
For the first time in six years
| saw Glad Mills outplayed by her
opposing side-center. To Dotty
Reed goes that accomplishment,
and 1t may readily be considered
such, for Glad has long been con-
sidered the best side center in the
Capital or wherever she has played.
From the athletes point Of view,
IL was good to see Big" Totten
come backbone back in the last
half of the game and play like the
old graceful forward of 1924, using
her head to great advantage and
playing feed-forward like a wiz.
Are you wondering whom she
'fed?"
No one else but the find" of
the season, Clara Alderton. This
redheaded youngster, a Junior at
Business High is a second tom
my" Thomas as far as accuracy
goes. 1t is a delight to watch her
curve the sphere through the ring,
and 1t will not be long until she
is rated the best forward in the
city.
Against the Princess forwards
were Bobby" Kubel and Lucille
LmbacI, both of whom put up
a game battle TO the end, the work
of Lucille was especially COM
mendable. for, although hampered
seriously by bad ankle, she
played a consistently tenacious
game.
The Nets showed a deplorable
weakness in their f o rw ar d s.
''SkeetZ" Boyd Gagged many bask-
cts, but she still sticks to that one
point shot which she developed
before the overhead shot lost it's
two-point value. Both Camille
O'Hara and Mickey WhaIey had left
their shooting eyes in the dressing

Robins certainly had good scout
ing corps last year.
Robbie is no longer worried about
the hurting department. He feels
that the pitchers can take care OF
themselves during the Remainder
Of the training campaign. He will
plan their routine and will not
permit them to overdo themselves
and go stale before the season
gets under way.

Ten years ago, it seems to me,
all the rockies who broke into the
game were nutty about baseball.
They loved it. They were the first
men on the field in the morning
and the last ones to leave in the
evening. And they talked baseball
all the time. They don't do it any

Rockies Used
to Haze One
Big Battle
For Life
BY BABE RUTH

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. March
1T.-Sam Jones and a lot of the
boys were punching the bag in the
club house the other day. A club
house. you know, is a sort Of a
lodge for ball players. Most ball
players, when they get out on the
field, are a little hard-boiled. But
in the clubhouse is where they have
their fun.
A bunch of rockies were dressing
over in one corner, and one Of them
complained because there wasn't any
hot water in the showers.
"Boy." Sam said. you don't know
when you're well off. You fellows
have it pretty easy these days.
Breaking into the big leagues was
a pretty tough job ten years ago.
Charlie O'Leary knows something
about it."
."I'll say do" Charley chirued
in, when I broke in with the
Tigers a kid had to fight everyone
on the club to make good. The
regulars used to stick together In
those days, and when any rookie
came along to take their jobs he
certainly had his hands full. The
fellows used to tie my clothes In
knots when I was out on the field
they'd try to scare the young fel.
lows in practice games by sliding
with their spikes high: they'd crowd
us out of our turn at the bat and
do every mean thing they could
think of to make 1t tough
"And Ty Cobb, who was the
greatest ball player who ever
lived, had the toughest time Of all
Of them," Charley continued. "He
had to fight almost every man or
the team before he finally got his
place, and / guess there's 10
rookie ever came into the game
who had more trouble made for
him than Cobb"

NAVAJO COUNTYTO|
HOLD FAIR THIS
YEAR AT TAYLOR

Taylor will be the seat of the
next Navajo county fair, which will
be held in October, according to a
decision arrived at in Holbrook
Monday after meeting in Taylor
Saturday had failed to come to all
agreement. Representatives from
every Navajo county community
were at the Holbrook meeting Sat
urday, and helped to choose the Of
ficers of the county fair organiza-
ton. The board of supervisors,
asked to decide the question of
where the fair would be held, de-
clined to render decision, and left
the matter to the delegates.
In past years the fair has been
held at Snowflake, but the many
attractive features held out by Tay-
lor won them the honor of stag
ing the exposition by a vote of 9 to
1. F. J. Willis, of Taylor, who was
later chosen president of the asso-
citation, obtained a promise of
$500 from the state fair association
to be used in furthering the county
fair. Mr.. Willis has been Navajo
county's representative to the state
exposition for many years.
The Golfers Of the county fair
were further helped by the board
of supervisors, who, it is stated,
voted another $500 to match the
state money.
The manner of voting was arriy.
ed at by giving Holbrook and
Winslow two votes each, and al
lowing one vote to each of the 9TH
er communities. The officers chos-
en- were F. J. Willis. Taylor, presi-
dent; Lorenzo Rhoton, Shumway
secretary; E. J. Larson, Snow
flake; Debbert Hansen, st. Joseph;
c. r. Fillerup, county agent; n S.
Hansen, Lakeside, and Martin ELS
worth, Showlow. Winslow was
represented by Sam W. Proctor, M.

WINSLOW FEATURE
OF TOURIST MAP
ISSUED RECENTLY

Winslow, it's many attractions of
both an everyday and scenic ma
ture, are featured in the new
"Wanderlust Map" issued recent
ly by the Automobile Club of ART
zOna, and which delineates clearly
all outstanding features in the '1oop
trip" from Phoenix through the
northern area. The tourist attrac-
tions are brought out not only on
the map, but in detailed reading
matter on the back of the folder.
AS some 10000 of these charts
will be distributed by the Automo-
bile Club, this section will receive
valuable tourist advertising.
The "loop" starts at Phoenix
continues through Superior, Mia
mi, San Carlos and on to Clifton,
thence over the Coronado Trail
through Alpine, Nutrioso and Fag-
ar to Springerville. Two routes
are shown from Rice to Springer
vile, the one just named, and a
shorter route through White River
and McNary. From Springerville
the route travels through Winslow,
Flagstaff, Williams, Ashfork and
on to Prescott, from which place it
returns to it's starting point, Phoe-
nix, via Congress Junction and
Wcikenburg.
This trip has been named and
advertised as the "Trip of a Thou
sand Wonders" and amply lives up
to it's name. Side trips from the
main road to attractions a little
off the beaten track are plainly
shown, and in fact the whole sec
tion included inside the loop is
csharted to a fine degree of detail,
showing all the famous scenes Of
this part of Arizona.
Representatives of the Auto club
spent many weeks in mapping this
territory, and the results are
shown in this unique and detailed
study of the outstanding tourist
points. No forest, creek, Indian
ruin, national monument, lake, cliff,
canyon or any other sight worth
seeing has been omitted. This fea-
ture will make the map popular
with tourists, who have for so long
been given only the most rudimen-
tary of information concerning the
country through which they might
happen to be travelling.
Names of firms who have con-
tributed to make this map possi-
BILE, and the names of their places
of business appear on the map,
which offers a convenient direc
tory to the tourist seeking a place
to camp, repair shop, cafe Or
hotel.

PRICES
In WINSLOW WILL
BE REDUCED SOON

Substantial reductions in freight
rates on gasoline from California
to Arizona, which have been re-
sponsible for similar reductions in
gasoline prices in other parts of
the state, will mean a drop in local
gas quotations in the near future,
according to men in or in touch
with the business of retailing this
automotive necessity. Although the
drop has not been announced as
yet, the action taken by dealers in
other Arizona cities cannot help
but be followed by local service sta
tions and garages, it is pointed out.
The reductions over the state will
range from 1 cent to 2:5 cents per
gallon the only points in the state
not affected being those near the
Carlifornia border. The reduction
suggested for the local trade by a
local service station owner is 1.5
cents per gallon, and this sugges-
tion will no doubt be carried out.
This will be the second reduction
since the first of the year, the first
being a two-cent drop some months
ago, which resulted from a reduc-
ton in the wholesale price of gas
oline.
Oil dealers in Phoenix have pub
lished rate that will likely be
used by the towns named. The fol-
lowing classifications appear in
tho ratio ctaf nrnpnf
One cent reduction = Tucson,
Prescott, Wickenburg, Ash Fork
and Williams.
One and one-half cent reduction
Florence, Flagstaff, Winslow,
Bisbee, Douglas, Nogales, Hayden
and Tombstone.
Two cents reduction = Superior,
Globe, Stafford, and Clifton.
Two and one-half cents reduction
Miami and other more remote
eastern points.
The railroads have put into eff
feet new freight rates between the
Los Angeles district and Arizona
points amounting to reduction
from 98.5 to so cents the cwt. or
from 1.22 to 2.5 cents a gallon, ac-
cording to the distance from Los
Angeles. These reductions, which
were consequence of protest to
the interstate commerce commits
sion made jointly by the Standard
Oil, the Union and the Associated
Oil companies, and the General Pc
trOleum company are now passed
on to the public.

Rotarians Hear
Interesting Talk
On Preparedness

An interesting address on the
subject of preparedness was deliv-
cred before the Winslow Rotary
Club Wednesday by Major G. H.
Rutherford, of Phoenix, who was
the special guest of the club al
luncheon.
Well versed in army affairs and
the subject of his address, Major
Rptherford told his hearers some
startling facts regarding propagan-
da of pacifism which is being fos-
tered in the United States through
the agencies of Sovietism backed
by Russian money.
Through some good organizations
and churches who have been mis-
led into the program of preaching
pacifism, Major Rutherford said,
and through other organizations,
whose purposes are not so good,
the campaign has been going on in
this country for some time to abol-
ish military training in schools,
and against preparedness.
Major Rutherford went back to
the pages of history of this coun-
try to show that preparedness is a
necessity against war, and cited
that it is necessity for the patrio-
tic citizens of this country to con-
tinue their program of prepared
ness through teaching of these
principles to the young-the COM
ing citizens of tomorrow.
VIM. Butler was chairman of the
meeting, and several other speak
ers were on the program including
M. L. Veteto, who talked on "Ro-
tary's Relation to Ethics in Busi-
ness" G. H. Madden, who return
ed from California, and VIM. Bar
mum, of Stafford, were also in at
tendance, as well as the following
guests: J. G. McLeve, Holbrook
J. P. Connolly, Bisbee; Hays Ham
ilton, Saltwater, Okla.

To Call For Bids
On Colorado River
Bridge At Holbrook

Within a few months the narrow,
dangerous bridge over the little
Colorado river south of Holbrook
will be replaced with a new rein
forced concrete structure % feet
wide over all, and 400 feet long, in
cluding the two approaches ac-
cording to an announcement made
this week by State Engineer w. C.
LeFebvre. LeFebvre. who passed
through Winslow early this week
on his way to Holbrook, stated
that the state highway department
will issue a call for bids on the
new bridge during the first week
in September, and that everything
possible will be done to speed up
construction, before cold weather
arrives.
Four 88-foot steel spans will be
used in the construction, which is
part of highway improvement that
will cost $75,O0000. The remand
er of this sum will be used in the
construction of miles of highway
leading south from the bridge.
A 20-foot roadway, with 4-foot
sidewalk on each side, will make
travel across the bridge safe for
automobilists and pedestrians. The
approaches will be built up to the
level of the bridge and will be 20
feet in width.
Ed A. Johnson, assistant district
engineer for this highway district,
made public Mr.. LeFebvre's state
ment.

Halstead Lumber
Company To Have
Branch In Tucson

According to word received in
Winslow this week by M. l.. Veteto,
manager of the local yard of the
Halstead Lumber Company, a new
branch of the firm will be opened
Monday at Tucson. The new yard,
it is said, will be one of the best
equipped and most up-to-date lum-
Der yards in the state.
The Halstead yards are known
all over the state, as they are op-
Grating in many localities, and
their growth has been steady over
a long period.
Halstead's of Tucson will be un-
der the management of James P.
Whelon, who has been prominently
connected with the lumber business
of that city for the past 10 years,
having formerly managed the Tue
son branch of the O'Malley Lum-
Der company for seven years, up
until two years ago. the time inter
vening was spent in travelling for
