The manager of the first ST. Louis
team to win a pennant in 9S years and
the first to win a pennant in either the
American or National leagues, smiled
as he reviewed the waning season out
of which he had fashioned his laurels.
Around him as he sat in the hotel
where his team was quartered for its
last game of it's last series with the
Giants, the players conyersed in unre-
pressed joy. But already they were be-
ginning to feel the thorn of the rose Of
success, for reporters and photograph
ers coerced them away from the bacon
and eggs of their breakfast. Smiling
at t'his boys, Hornsby ruminated in
the limbo of the waning season and the
fading pictures of the scramble for the
pennant that marked the closing weeks
of the National league race that he saw

GETs FIRsT cHANcE.

When waivers are asked on major
league ball player and several clubs
refuse to waive, the team lowest in the
race has first chance at the player.
For example, if Boston in last place,
st. Louis in seventh and New York in
first refused to waive on a certain
player, Boston would get the first crack
at his services.
1t so happened that when Washington
asked for waivers on Reuther the New
York club was The only team that put
in claim for him.
The reason was that Reuther had
been ailing for a month, threatened
with appendicitis and incidentally, was
getting a very fat salary from the
Washington team, which the club
claiming him would be forced to as
sumo.
New York was the only club willing
to take chance on the ailing Reuther
and pay him the figure he had signed
for with Washington.

Y" BOWLING
TOURNAMENT

In order to take care of all persons
who wish to bowl at the Y. M. c. A.
this fall it has been necessary to or
ganize IS teams, composed of five mem
bers each. In addition to this number,
there are other members who will use
the alleys on open nights for practice
purposes.
Among the new teams is one repre-
senting the Mountain states Telephone
and Telegraph company and one which
will be known as the Neighborhood
team. IS
With few minor exceptions, rules
will be the same as last year The COM
mittee has expressed itself as wanting
to enforce the 1880 starting rule. Pin
boys will be on hand from 4:30 o'clock
on, working in two shifts. Two alleys
will be open for practice games on
Wednesday night and two on Saturday
night, and all four alleys will be free
for practice purposes daily from 4:30
D. m. to 1880 p. m.
Inasmuch as there are still number
of people waiting to get on teams, the
bowling committee urges that every
etam either be on hand when scheG-
uled, bowl off, if sick, at work, or out
captains. The committee will not draw
up the full tournament schedule for two
weeks so that if any team finds itself
unable to bowl, others may take its
place.

HUMBOLDT COMING BACK

Since the closing down of the
smelter of the Southwest Metals
Company in September, 1923,
the camp of Humboldtin Yava
pai county, has been a deserted
village. The life of the commun,
ity is entirely dependent upon the
operation of the metals smelter.
When it abandoned operations
because of unsatisfactory con.
ditions of the copper market,
the business houses closed their
doors and employees bearded up
the windows of their homes and
moved, away to other parts in
search of, work.
Since that time not even a
stray dog was to be seen on the
streets of Humboldt. The town
presented one of the vests sad.
dest pictures Of desolation, that
of an abandoned mining camp.
Life will again stir in Hum
boldt next Monday when the
smelter begins treating accumu.
lated ores. Families will re.
turn to their delapidated homes
and rehabilitation will be in
order. Leaky. roofs will be
patched, window panes will re
place the gaping holes, and doors
will again be hung on their
hinges. Business men will open
their establishments with new
stock of goods on their shelves
and with the hope that the pres
ent resumption Of work will be
enduring.
A tariff on copper would go a
long way toward the re estab.
lishment of Humboldt as a live
American community. Anyone
who thinks that the copper in.
dustry of this country does not
need tariff protection would have
bad a most convincing argument
to the contrary visualized thru a
trip to the deserted village of
Humboldt during the period
when hesmelter was closed down
Another lesson to be learned
from the experience of Humboldt
is that any community should
strive earnestly and consistently
to work itself out of situation
wherein its commercial and in
dustrial existence is entirely de
pendent upon a single industry.

THE PRICE OF COPPER.

It begins to look as though the
market price of copper is the one
thing that fails TO conform to
the usually understood laws of
commodity values. The surplus
stocks are smaller than they
have been for many years; &C.
cording to good authority they
total but single months sup.
ply; production is hardly keep
ing pace with consumption, and
the demand for the metal is
growing but, even so, the price
fails to move upward and the
confident predictions of an in.
crease have failed.
In common with many other
papers published in the mining
districts and therefore directly
interested in the price of the
metal, the Verde Copper News
has constantly advocated the i'm.
position of reasona bic duty on
copper imports. This stand it
takes not so-much- for the sake
of any benefit that would accrue
to the mine owners, as for the
maintenance Of American wage
scales and living conditions. It
must be remem bered that a great
modern copper mine is exactly
like manufacturing plant, in
every fundamental feature, save
that its>supply of raw material"
is being steadily depleted.
Leaving this factor out of con
sideration for the moment, costs
are capable of calculation to as
fine a point as are the costs of
making stoves or furniture, and
labor is the controlling factor.
If we permit the product of the
mines in Mexico, South America
and Africa, which are operated
by cheap labor, TO be dumped on
our market at prices less than
our normal production costs, it
stands to reason that we must
either close the mines or cut the
wage scales.
Mining is one of the basis in
dustries of the county, especial
jy of the west, and surely it is
as much entitled to reasonable
protection as is any other. We
will do we'll to remember that
the only thing that keeps copper
where it is, is the certainty that
an advance would be followed
Immediately by a great increase
of imports. Verde Copper News

FOLLOW ADVICE OF EXPERT.

Many farmers of the Casa
Grande valley who last spring
followed his instructions in the
preparation of their seeds beds,
this fall secured yields twice as
great as those of their neighbors,
according to Hardy w. Camp.
bell. agricultural agent for the
Southern Pacific, who paid Tue.
son a brief visit this morning.
L know of no place where
farming methods have been pro-
ductive of more outstanding re-
SUITS" declared the farming ex-
pert today. "One man in the
Casa Grande valley produced
twice as much cotton as the
farmers about him, and the same
results were obtained by those
growing corn, wheat and lettuce.
And these gratifying results
were secured on minimum of
irrigation water. The basic idea
of successful cultivation lies in
the preparation of the seed beds
and the application of water
with moderation and at the prop.
er time.
Every man in Casa Grande
valley who was able to grasp
and follow my instructions last
spring has reason to be enthu.
siastic this winter because of ad.
ditional profits. Two irrigations
before planting and one applica.
tion of water after planting will
double crops of all kinds in the
same neighborhood, except al.
falfa. One man in the Casa
Grande valley who irrigated his
cotton eight times was able to
pick only portion of his crop,
be told me last night.
To much water checks the
development cf bacteria in the
soil, and natures way of produc.
ing growth is by the develop
ment of soil bacteria, meeting Of
farmers attended by Mr.. Camp.
bell in Casa Grande last night.
Too much or too little water
retards this development. Gull
tivation is another important
item in farming. In ground the
soil should be cultivated at tie
proper time following a rain.
If the ground is too wet, it be.
comes cloddy, and when it is too
dry the same condition results.
But when the right condition of
moisture in the soil prevails, the
proper PERCENTAGE of water and
the right percentage of air is
present. a combination that
develops growth of crops.
