FLAGSTAFF SHOWED NC NARY
HOW TO PLAY BASE BALL

Flagstaff baseball speed demons
whaled McNary at Holbrook Sunday
1916. The latter aggregation put up
a good fight but were not quite many
enough for our athletes, just crown
ed champions of northern Arizona
and feeling quite exclusive.
Superintendent Fred Pipes of the
Flagstaff Lumber Co., who had set
the stage for the game to humble
his affiliates in the lumber industry
at McNary and DIR. E. S. Flett, physi-
clan extraordinary of the company,
accompanied the Flagstaff team.
Manager Grover Hutson of the Flag
staff team umpired the game.

SCIENTIST AT LOWELL
SEEKING MARTIAN Lii

Further investigation into the pos
sibility that life can exist on the
planet Mars will be undertaken this
winter by DR.. w. w. Coblenz at
Lowell observatory, Flagstaff, AriZ.
DR.. Coblenz has the latest model
of heat measuring instruments which
enable close calculations of the actual
surface temperatures on the planet.
Although Mars is 40,000,000 miles
distant, the instruments are said to
distinguish between night and day
temperatures, and between tempera-
lures at different localities at the
same time.
DR.. Coblenz first attacked the
problem here about two years ago
and reported that noon day temper
atures in certain Martian dark areas
ranged from SO to 68 degrees, while
lighter colored neighboring areas
had at the same time temperatures
ranging from IA to Al degrees. The
dark spots are believed to denote
spaces covered with vegetation,
while the light ones are tentatively
described as plateaus. During the
temperature was fairly constant at
81 degrees below zero.
The basis of the instrument used
in measuring the Martian heat is the
thermocouple, welding where two
different metals join. When the
thermocouple is exposed to the radia-
ted heat from Mars, infinitesmal as
this energy is, there arises through
the welding slight electric current,
the variation in which can be meas
ured. From this phenomena DIR. Cob
lenz has been enabled to make his
calculations as to the probable tenn
peratures of the heat source to
which the instrument points.
DIR. Coblenz of the u. S. bureau Of
standards, with Mrs. Coblenz arriv-
ed last week and are staying on Mars
hill. where Dir. Coblenz will work in
collaboration with G. 0. Lamp
land in continuing and extending the
heat measurements of Mars and the
other planets that they began few
years ago.

HUNTER KILLED BY ONE
OF OWN HUNTING PARTY

Nicola Cellano, proprietor of a
string of drug stores in New York
City was shot and killed last Friday
while hunting with friends north
east of Pine nessr the border between
! Gila and Coconino counties.
The fatal shot was fired by George
R. Koyk of Constellation, Yavapai
county. Other members of the hunt
ing party were Anthony Ruggiero,
Cellano's brother-in-law, Robert Tin
dale, both of New York City and Joe
Prochaska of Phoenix, former state
game warden.
The hunting party left Phoenix
Thursday and drove to Pine in pre-
paration for the opening of deer sea-
son on the following day. During
the first days hunt, Koyk, according
/ to Prochaska, wounded a wild turkey
and fired a second shot which struck
Cellano in the chest
The wounded man was started for
Pine, the nearest settlement, but
died before medical aid could be
reached
Mr.. Cellano's body was taken to
Phoenix and has been sent to his
home in New York City.
The death of Mr.. Cellano was the
first and thus far, the only fatally
Of the 1926 hunting season in Ari-
zona
County Attorney Frank Harrison
and Deputy Sheriff Bill Smith got
back Sunday from the scene of the
accident. 1t was at Tom creek and
it was not certain which county
had jurisdiction. However, the in
quest had been held when the local
officials were notified. Mr.. Harrison
said that in eases of this sort arrest
and conviction for manslaughter
should follow. One or two convictions
he believes would make hunters
more careful about shooting at some
thing without being certain what
their target was.

LOCAL HUNTER GOT 600
POUND CINNAMON BEAR

A. E. Anderson exhibited mighty
big bear and skin at Switzers' hard
ware store yesterday afternoon as
ample substantiation of the big bear
story which he told. The head was 18
inches between tips of the ears, and
the paws were nine inches long. If
you know anything about bears let
your imagination fill the big skin
and stand lin front of you five miles
from camp. This brown cinnamon
bear it was estimated weighed at
least 600 pounds
Anderson said that he wasn't
scared, though this is the first bear
he ever killed. He placed bullet in
Bruins windpipe when he first saw
him 100 yards away second bullet
at 10 yards in the lungs proving IA
tai to the big fellow when he at
tempted to charge. No dogs were
with Anderson who was after bear
and deer with another lumberman,
Jake Roone, in Mooney canyon, five
miles west of Barney pasture. The
two men we're on opposite sides Of a.
small mountain and Jake skilled a
turkey Just about the time Anderson
came up with the big bear-just at
daybreak.
The hunters skinned the bear and
carried the meat back TO camp in
pieces. There was some big feed
that night at Saginaw camp No. 27,
near Parks, when all the lumberjacks
pronounced the steaks fine.
Anderson is having the head and
hide mounted.

Tuesday afternoon some hunter
dronped burning cigarette or
match while hunting on the north
side of the San Francisco Peaks,
causing 100 acres of timber land to
BE burned. These fires destroy your
property and while the forest ser
vice welcomes all people to use the
forests, it does want you to watch
your camp fires, matches, cigarettes
and cigar stubs. The forests are ex-
tremely dry and fires start very rea-
div. We ask your cooperation IN
preventing forest fires. The game

TWO MEMBERS COLLEGE
FACULTY GET DEANSHIPS

Tom o. Bellwood, head of the de-
partment of commerce, was selected
as dean of the college and Miss
Minnie Lintz, head of the department
of education, was selected as dean
of women by Grady Gammage, presi-
dent of Flagstaff Teachers college
at the first business meeting Of the
faculty last Tuesday.
Keeping in touch with the most
progressive program in college adj
ministration, the board of education
of the college at the last meeting,
authorized the creation of the two
I new administrative offices.
Mr.. Bellwood came to Flagstaff in
1922 to take charge of the depart
ment of commerce and has built up
leads all others in the college in the
number of students enrolled. He has
strong foundation for the addition
al work that will be required of him,
having been secretary to the dean at
Colorado Teachers college. While at
Greeley, Mr.. Bellwood, after receiv-
ing his masters degree as student
there in commerce, was registrar,
and it was this position that he gave
up to come here.
Miss Lintz is we'll fitted for the
position of dean of women, knowing
the problems that confront the wo-
men of the college. She is well
known in Flagstaff, as we'll as over
the state for her work in education.
Before coming to Arizona Miss Lintz
taught for many years in the schools
of Ohio, her native state. She also
taught in the southern part of Ari-
zona for a few years and was elect
ed county superintendent of schools
Cochise county which position she
held for several years. Miss Lintz
received her education at Miami
University, Oxford, Ohio, Columbia
University, New York and at the
University of Washington. Miss
Lintz has travelled extensively, hav-
ing in the past year made special
trip to Alaska and Canada.
Greater prestige in the years to
come is the atmosphere the creation
of the new offices will give to the
college. 1t will help to organize and
centralize the administration work
carried on by the department heads,
it will bring the college closer to the
people of Flagstaff, it will create
units of purpose, a better spirit
among the faculty and student body
and thus a greater and bigger Flag
staff.

COLLEGE LOANED MEN
TO SM0KI A. c. ELEVEN
AND THEN SWAMPED 'ENI


In ragged game of football
Teachers college handed a combina-
tion of Smoki A. G.. of Prescott and
a number of Lynch's string loaned
Prescott for the occasion, drubbing
last Saturday at McMullen field, 43
to o.
The Prescott ball luggers brought
to the field only six of their own men,
the rest of the aggregatin having to
stop at Williams on account of car
trouble. They did, however, show up
about an hour after the game had
been over. Coach Jack DeVivier of
the Prescott high school captained
and managed the Smokis, and he with
Bill McNutt, fullback, carried the
brunt of the offensive and defensive
work for the visitors. However,
"Jiggs" Jensen, one of the college
cubs, played end for the Prescott
team and showed up so well probabil-
tiles are he will land first-string
berth on the college eleven. John
Marine, Flagstaff boy, held down
guard for the visitors, playing the
best game since he has been wearing
college moleskin. TIL same can be
said of the rest of the locals who
performed for the Prescott team.
Coach Lynch used nearly so men
In the game, running them in at
about two-minute intervals. The
game was not very satisfactory to
the coach of the local college in that
he did not have the opportunity to
try out all his men for any length of
time. However, it did show that he
has the making of a fast, shifty
backfield. Tex Patton and Billie
Black showed considerable speed and
stiffness, while Stephenson was
able to hit the line the hardest and
find his holes. Caffey, Flagstaff boy,
showed that it is going to take a
real man to beat him out of his
place. Captain Wilson and Hoddy
Stephens performed in their usual
brilliant style and will probably land
on the first squad. Shanahan and
Meadows have the making of good
baclfield men.
The forward wall of the college
showed great deal of fight. The ends
will have to be bolstered somewhat.
Jack Heckathorne, who performed in
the backfield, may be switched to his
old position at end while Isaacson,
who played end last year, will prob
ably hold down a guard job this sea-
son in order to plug the holes left
vacant by Davis and Johnson, both
200 pound guards. Isaacson weighs
better than 10 pounds, and with
Scotty Combs as his running mate,
Lynch can develop two good boys.
Pace and Trojanovich are fighting
tackles and will probably show up
better when the team meets Gila col
lege Red Devils tomorrow in the first
conference game of the season. Gila
defeated the Phoenix Indians last
week by close score and indications
are Lynch will probably have to use
his best men to stay in the lead.
Tomorrow's game starts at three
o'clock.

Students and faculty members at
the Flagstaff Teachers college no
longer have the excuse that they
don't know each other, for last Fri
day night a get-acquainted handshake
ball was held in the auditorium. Dur
ing special intermission circle was
formed and the students and faculty
members went the rounds shaking
hands and telling each other their
names. The dance proved to be a
delightful affair. Apple cider and
doughnuts were served.

FLAGSTAFF CITIZENS
WANT SANITORIUM

With practically unanimous vote,
81 Flagstaff citizens at the reg
ular chamber of commerce meeting
Wednesday night, denoted their de-
sire to secure the location of the ma
tional sanatorium for tuberculous
children for Flagstaff The vote was
taken Immediately following DR.. M.
G.. Fronske's report on his and z. j.
Moran's recent trip to Oklahoma
City. 1t looks as if Flagstaff was
soidly back of the Chamber of Com
merce in this fine piece Of work.
DR.. Fronske said that it was al
most certain that Flagstaff could Sc
cure the institution, the final decl-
sion depending first upon whether we
wish the hospital and second on the
final vote Of the two representatives
who will be in the city within the
next 10 days to definitely decide To-
cation.
'In our talk with the trustees in
Oklahoma City some few days ago.,
said Dir. Fronske, they told us that
it was their wish to obtain site
for the institution outside the city
limits, not too far to be inconvenient
to come to the city, but far enough
to be away from the noise and ac-
tivity Of the business and social life
of the community.
eeThey also made it plain to US that
the affairs Of the institution will be
primarily in the hands of local
board of directors, the lst three OF
whom would be chosen from the I'M
mediate vicinity in which the lnstI-
tuition is located ~
Continuing, the doctor said that
the national campaign for funds Tor
the institution would be started IN
Flagstaff and Arizona. Ii Colorado
Springs is chosen as the site, the CAM
paipn will be opened at that point
and that state will follow and closely
on it's heels will come Arizona as the
state with the next interest in the
project, so it is an assured fact that
Flagstaff and the state of Arizona
will contribute to the fund regardless
of whether the institution is located
at this point. The deduction from
this fact is that it is far better for
Flagstaff to secure this institution
for we will certainly assume our
share of the expense wherever it IS
located.
I)r, frOnSke SdIu. lIie DOdIu "
trustees of the national children's
sanatorium was absolutely sold on
Flagstaff as a site before we reach
ed the scene of action, as they had
received much information on this
city and so many letters from per-
sons all over the country asking their
consideration of Flagstaff as a site. :"
Mrs. May Benjamin Moran, execu-
tive secretary, is expected in the
city very soon to make an inspection
and officially decide on the location
for the sanatorium. Word was re-
ceived from Mrs. Moran yesterday
morning from Oklahoma City, stating
that she would be leaving that city
on the eighth for Albuquerque for a
consultation with one member OF the
board of the sanatorium and would
then come on to Flagstaff.
In order that these delegates may
be properly entertained on their ar
rival in our city, the chamber OF
commerce directors are considering
the possibility of booster banquet.
Definite plans on this entertainment
feature will be announced within the
next few days.

DEMING "NOf GUILTY.
in SECOND BANK TRIAL

Paul II. Deming was pronounced
not guilty in his second trial in the
local superior court, the jury return
ing the verdict just before five yes
terday after celebrating less than
half an hour.
The trial took much longer than
was expected by the attorneys. Selec-
ton of a jury began Monday and was
completed early in the day Among
the witnesses were Robert E. Tally,
general manager United Verde Cop
per Co. of Jerome; A. 7. Hammons,
state bank superintendent; j. E. Nc
Cullough, cashier of the Commercial
Trust & Savings Co, when it and
the Bank of Jerome and the Prescott
State bank went down in one big
crash last November and Joe Metz,
appointed manager of the Bank of
jerome under the receivership.
Mr.. Talley testified that upon re-
turning from his vacation early last
November, he heard that the Bank
of Jerome was in bad shape and,
anxious to protect the community
and the mine employees, he saw Cash
ier Deming and asked whether he
would consent to having special
examiner look over the books and
make a personal report to him. Dem
ing asked Mr.. Talley if he would be
willing to advance money to the
banla8yThe latter replied that that
depended on conditions; he might be
willing to up to hundred thousand
dollars. But when he found that the
banks surplus capital and undivided
profits and $4,000 besides was abb
sorbed by losses he couldn't undertake
financing it.
Mr.. TaIley said he advised DEM
ing to close the bank, and that the
latter replied to the effect that it
had run that way for four years and
would have to continue to.
Demipg, on the stand in his own
behalf for most of Wednesday af-
ternoon and until 10:30 yesterday
forenoon, when taking of testimony
was concluded, denied most OF the
statements of preceding witnesses.
He denied having been advised by
Mr.. Talley to close the bank or that
the special examiner had visited the
bank A. II. Favour of Prescott, as
sisting County Attorney Lyman of
Yavapai county conducted the cross
examination, largely in an attempt to
make Deming admit notes and other
collateral he carried on his books
as assets were valueless, as had been
testified by preceding witnesses.
Arguments to the jury were made
yesterday afternoon.
The jury: j. A. Settle, Jessie Cas-
tleberry, J. L. Chamberlain, Hender-
son Warnock, A. H. Hudson, j. G.
Pierce, FL. E. jolly, Ed. S. Nelson,
Felix Alcorn, Grover G. Jones, Sher-
man Moore and Fred N. Browning.
There were some twenty-odd in
dictments against Deming, five
charging embezzlement and the 9TH
ers that he received or permitted
deposits received after knowing the
bank was insolvent. Following his
acquittal here last week of the prin-
cipal embezzlement charge, involving
over $4,000, on motion Of the state
the other four embezzlement charges
were dismissed

of wild deer, were delighted yester-
day when they were privileged to see
half dozen fauns on the down Aawn
streets. There were three handsome
little does and as many fine young
bucks on their way from the Kaibab
to Mesa where they are destined to
live in the municipal park. They are
being donated by H. G. Bush, who
commissioned Jack Riddle and John
Toots to go after them. They timed
their trip to take advantage of the
hunting sason and had with them two
fine big bucks for table use.

FLAGSTAFF BASEBALL
TEAM AWARDED FIRST
MONEY AS Ma. CHAMPS

Flagstaff baseball club, Grover c..
Hutson, manager, this week was
awarded the first money, over $3.50
for having won the season schedule
in the Northern Arizona league
George Maza's Jerome Miners won
second money, around $50 and the
Williams team third. This money
was from $500 purse raised by each
team submitting forfeit of $50.
Thus closed a very successful
baseball season. Every game of the
schedule was played, making ten en-
gagemnts for each team in the or
ganiZation.
The standings at the close were:
The Coconino sun., 1926-10-08

Prescott had a good team in the
league but was forced to withdraw
when the city began its Improvement
of the only playing field available,
and Kingman also was forced to re-
tire from active participation. 1t was
voted at q meeting of the league on
August Is to go ahead without Pres
cott and Kingman, and to count
games playd with them as exhibi-
tions not to be scored in the stand
ings.
1t is indeed remarkable that
league so loosely organized that it
went forward bound only by gen
tlemen's agreement" should complete
it's schedule as carefully as was done
in the case Of the Northern Arizona
league. Every team played it's full
schedule, making up protested and
rained-out contests with as much de-
votion to duty as though there had
been a hard and fast contract.
Next years opening meeting will
DC called at Ashfork early in April
according to President Frank Wilson
of Mayer, and all the representatives
will be present. Each team will be
requested to send its manager and
its score-keeper. The managers viii
agree on terms, post the forfeits and
settle on schedule The score
keepers will agree on uniform
method of keeping the records, and
for 1927, an effort will be made to
keep a much more detailed record Of
the individual playing averages. Dur
ing the past season, only Mayer and
4shfork managed to handle accur-
ate and complete records Of games
and playing averages.
Both the Arizona Lumber & TIM
Der Co. and the Flagstaff Lumber Co
made cash contributions to the Flag
staff team at the close of the season,
the money being divided among the
players, and A. W. Carson took
picture of the players, giving each
