directed to public clinic. There he

If he has any change he will have to
use it there for his room. If he

the Salvation Army. It is trick of
the Salvation Army to wait or even
force one on the rocks and then do
bit Of spectacular work before the
public and term it "uplift." Know

THE BASEBALL TEAM.

There is reason to be proud of the
Ell Paso baseball club. While Mama
ger Cecil Coombs and his charges did
not set the town on fire with their
series against the G. H. & S. A. they
showed enough stuff to convince the
most sl1eptical fans that we will be
in the running this year.
Ell Paso has now what it has not
had before-a team that can hit. Clev-
er fielding is a valuable asset to any
baseball club, but it's saying as old
as the hills that it takes hitting to
win ball games.
Hooks fast ones and slow ones look
alike to these boys. In Adams, Alli-
SON., Coombs and Speck, Ell Paso has a
quartet that will break several rec
ords before they are half through the
season. Meyers, Jamski and the others
are not far behind.
The pitching staff is strong enough
to warrant confidence. Munns and
Ferguson won't require much assist
ance to keep the team up in the race
and several of the recruits are doing
nicely.
Summing up, it looks like a real ball
club and a team that this city should
back to the limit. If the fans meas
ure u pto the club, were in for a big
Marshall in El Paso
Times.

will be in the best condition to give
the Douglas team a hard contest.
Joe Causey, state record holder in
the pole vault, is again showing his
wares by clearing the bar at 10 feet,
6 inches, just few inches short of
his record. BY the time the univer-
sity meet comes off In May he
should be going his best. 'Causey
hopes to beat his own record this
year and thinks that II feet, 6 inches
is not impossible.
James Mcclure, the runner-up in
last years hurdle races, is going
strong now and will put in bid for
honors. He defeated Deity and Lovett
in the semi-finals last year and one
Of these men won the hurdle event
last Saturday in Phoenix.
Wright, middle-distance runner, is
closing in on all his teammates and
was third in both events last week
in Phoenix. Schwaanm is also an
other good runner for the sprints.
He may surprise the junior entries in
the meet today
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-04-07

Each class has been drilling con-
sistently for the past three weeks
and are in fine condition for some
excellent records. Some of the school
records are expected to be lowered
as the cinder artists show their
wares.
The junior class is favorite to win
the meet with the seniors and fresh
men given a close chance to upseS
the dope. Coaches Van Antwerp and
Warren have been out each day with
their boys and feel that they should
show good ability.
The big dual meet with Bisbee
which was postponed last Saturday
owing to the Greenway field t~y at
Phoenix, will be run Off at Douglas
on Saturday, April II, starting at 1880
p. m. This is the first time in four
years that the schools have met on
the cinder' path and some close races
are assured.
Bisbee sent a team to Phoenix last
week and counted four points with
only weeks training, so the mate
rial is not lacking and in two weeks

ONE OPENER in
COAST LEAGUE
fBy Dispatch A. z. wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. ~ Bad
weather, which officially is unusual
in California, prevented three Pacific
Coast league opening games from
being played today The season,
however, was duly inaugurated by
the game at Portland, Ore, where a
crowd of more than $4,000 persons
saw Portland defeat Seattle, 10 to s..
Portland went definitely ahead in
the fourth. inning and stayed there
with a four-run bombardment off
Harry Lee, young Seattle southpaw,
which included double, two walks
and a homer
Early morning showers in San
Francisco prevented the Seals, 1925
champions, from meeting the Holly
wood team here. The same mad
vertenency of climate caused post
ponement of the Sacramento and San
Francisco Missions game at Sacra-
mento and the Oakland and Los An
geles teams at Los Angeles.

AMERICAN NOW
WANTS SUZANNE
TO Be A PRO
AN Dispa1ch A. P. Wirel

NICE, France, April 6.-William H.
Pickens, representative of C. C. Pyle,
manager of Harold (I;ed) Grange,
arrived in Nice today TO attempt to
sign up Suzanne Lenglen for an
American tour under Pyle's manage
ment.
He is understood to be ready to
offer the French tennis champion
$250,0OO if she will turn professional.
If she refuses this, a second offer is
to be made of 100000 for a contract
containing guarantee that she
would not forfeit her amateur status.
Mile Lenglen's father refused at
first to meet Pyles representative,
declaring he had finished talking to
American promoters and newspaper
men. However, when informed that
nearly 100000 francs was involved,
he arranged for Pickens to meet Su-
zanne at 8 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. Suzanne will not turn pro-
fessional tennis player" M Lenglen
said.
Pyles offer of 100000 is under
stood to be for contract whereby
the money would be paid for motion
pictures, which, it is contended, Mile.
Lenglen could make without leopard
izing her amateur status. Pyles
representative declined to go into de-
tails when it was suggested that the
mere acceptance of the 100000
would constitute professionalism. He
volunteered the opinion, however,
that Mile. Lenglen's drawing power
in the United States would equal that
of "Red" Grange.

Douglas and Bisbee high school teams
on the Tenth street park grounds
Friday at S:3O p. m. The same teams
met Saturday and the Bisbee team
won, 13 to II, in free-hitting game
in which numerous errors caused by
the high wind made the score top
heavy.
The teams are evenly matched and
should give a good exhibition of the

The mound work should prove much
stronger this week as both hurlers
have been taking regular workouts
and promise better control.
EIuizar, Douglas pitching ace, has
nice hop on i$e ball and with ad-
ditional experience, should be hard
to hit. The stick work of the local
squad fell down on a slow curve ball
and when Gutierrez took up the hurl-
ing duty they Immediately fell down

UNUSUAL CAREER.

scouting for the Chicago White Sox.

cussed.
when Harry joined my club" said
'Cantillon, "he explained to me that
he had been instructed to let up on
his stuff if unable to get it over.
IT told him to forget about such in
structions, that I wanted him to put
something on every ball. I don't care
if you give enough passes to make a
to Louisville, give 'em all you got.
''In his first game he lost 81 in IL
innings, striking out 16 and walking
9. He lasted four innings in his next
start, whiting and passing IL. Must
have thought he was rolling the dice
instead of pitching baseball
"His widest day was his third
game. III eight Awnings of play he
walked 20 and famed z. OF course
he lost
"That season he worked 1873 innings
and struc or; 1S5 men, also walked
121. He averaged better than "a

CARDINALS ARE MOsT-FEARED
CLUB IN NATIONAL LEAGUE
AND RIGHTLY SO.

AND RIGHTLY SO'
The st. Louis Cardinals seem des-
tined to be the most talked about
team in the National league this year.
Already, with the start of the sea-
son almost at hand, rival managers
are conceding the Cardinals more than
a chance to win the pennant.
The Cardinals are managed by Rog-
ers Hornsby, outstanding star of the
National league, one of the greatest
players that has ever graced the game.
Here is his size-up of his ball club:
''You can't take a thing for granted
in baseball, but I am going to be a
terribly disappointed person if we are
not in the race from start to finish.
"In the first place we have the spir-
it. You can't have a winning ball
club without it. Spirit is as important
as ability to get results.
''The Cardinals can hit the old ball.
1t takes mighty fine pitching to stop
the attack of my ball club.
"Our defense is perfectly satisfac-
tory and we appear to be well forth
fled with substitutes at all positions.

CASE OF HARPER.

In connection with the experiences
of Lefty" Groves, recall the case
of Harry Harper who started his ma
jor league career with the Washing
ton club.
1 have called balls and strikes for
Rubc Naddell whe nhe was in his
prime, seen all of the great left
handlers of the last 20 years in ac-
tion and will say that few of them
had more stuff than Harry Harper.
But Harper was wild and during
his connection with the Washington
club it was the exception for him to
finish a ball game When he pitched
1 was sorry I didn't have an inflat-
ed suit Half of his heaves would
strike the ground in front of the
plate.
The Washington club finally decid-
ed control was one thing that Har-
per never would acquire, so he was
passed on to the Minneapolis club
of the American association. Joe
Cantillon, former Washington mana
ger owner that club and there was
working agreement between the
two teams.
Harper gave players and scribes of
the association much to- talk and
write about before he had been in the
league a month.

TWO REAL RIVALS.

my dope is that the Cardinals are
better than five other clubs in the
league. That leaves two we must
prove our superiority over, the Pi-
rates and the Giants.
Both are great clubs, but frankly
fear the Giants more than the Pi-
rates. McGraw can always be depend
ed upon to have great club and his
pitching is sure to be much improved.
TThe Pirates have two problems,
one at second base and the other in
the outfield, should Max Carey's ill
ness handicap his play. Carey is q
remarkable ball player and means
much to the Pirates.
81 am going to be disappointed un-
less we are up there from start to
'finish.''

HE SHOULD HELP.

"Bill Killifer is going to prove a
great help. There is no better coach
for pitchers in the country. He is
going to improve my pitching staff
'T see most of the other National
league managers and many of the
baseball experts fear for my twirlers
There isn't major league mana
ger who wouldn't welcome star left
or right-hander and I'm no exception.
Possibly there are certain flaws in
my pitching but try to name a major
league pitching staff that hasn't EN-.
IT am positive my pitching will be
considerably better than rival Nation
al league clubs are willing to admit.
ut was a pretty good staff last sea-
son. I have every reason to believe
it will be much better this year.
