Boy Scout Head
Here To MANAGE
Drive For Funds

Robert Waldraven, Boy Scout
Executive for the Grand Canyon
Council, of which Winslow is a
part, arrived yesterday to take
charge of the drive for funds here
He will remain until the $4,000
quota is reached or Winslow is
ruled out of the Council for lack of
funds.
Mr. Waldraven declared that he
feels optimistic over the possibili-
ty of carrying on in Winslow and
believes that the community, once
aroused, will do it's part as other
towns in the Northern Arizona
area
up to this time only compar-
atively small number of citizens
have responded to the appeal for
funds in Winslow," he said "This
is a community proposition, and
should be taken hold of by the
community as a whole and not by
a few interested citizens who have
Scouting and its benefits at heart
The need for more workers to help
in this drive is great, and | sin
cerely hope that We may increase
the ranks of those who wish Scout
ing to continue in Winslow next
year. In the city hall are many
cards, as yet uncalled for, on
which are names of WinslOw peo-
pie. These cards should be, and
must be, if success comes to the
drive, taken and called on.
Remember that your money can
not complete your obligation to
the Scout movement in Winslow
your time and personal efforts
will count as greatly as your don
alton of money.
"Give of your time and thought
to this greatest of all movements
for the boy-your boy, and your
fellow-ci citizens boy-it is not your
duty but your privilege to be able
to share in the success of this
movement, if you so wish"
A meeting Of all those who are
working in the Scout drive for
funds, will be held Wednesday
night, at the City Hall, at 8 o'clock.
This meeting is of great import
ance, and it is hoped that every
person concerned will be present.
Any one who wishes to help out
with the drive, who is at present
not doing SO, is cordially invited
to be present also, at this meeting
Together with the workers, at
this meeting, it is desired that ev-
cry Boy Scout of Winslow attend
the meeting for a short time. There
will be some important announce
ments made to the Scouts attend
ing, and their presence is also very
much desired.

TEAM TAKES
ELY into CAMP
FOUR RUN RALLY IN THE THIRD
INNING GIVES ELY TEAM AN
EARLY LEAD ONLY TO DROP
THE GAME TO THE FALLS ON
A SEVEN TO SIX SCORE.
(By Arnold Anderson.) =

With the heavy hitting Int ,rnat-
ional Falls batting artillery function
ing to nicely throughout the entire
game and especially during the final
innings, the Border City team over
came Ely's two run lead and then
scored the winning run in the seventh
when Kalb clouted the ball over the
fence for a home run.
Ely's big inning was the third, four
hits and an error accounting for the
four runs. Hendy, first up in this
inning grounded out. H. Chinn fol-
lowing, doubled and Hoefler next up,
duplicated the feat, scoring Chinn.
Lawrence famed but Canton who
followed reached first on an error,
Immediately stole second and took
third on Bouski's single. Bouski
stole second and both he and Canton
scored on Anthony's timely single.
Ely scored again in the fifth when
Hoefier took first on an error, stole
Lawrence's grounder to the pitcher.
A home run by Gordon with Jude
on base gave the Falls two runs in
the first inning. Ely scored their
first run in the second inning, but
two more Falls scores in their half of
the stanza put Ely at 3 to disad-
vantage. Determined to obliterate
the Border lead, Ely flashed a streak
of brilliant batting and with the help
of an error pushed across four runs.
Inspired by their success at bat the
Ely players showed the same bril-
liancy in the field and held the heavy
smuggling Falls team scoreless for two
innings. Meanwhile, Ely by adding
another run to their total in the
fifth, seemed safe ahead with their
six to four lead The Border boys
scored in their half of the fifth in
ming, then tied the score in the sixth
and finally won out when Kalb lit
on fast one and hit for circuit
of the bases.
The game was fast and well-played
while the abundance of hitting and
the constant closeness of the score
kept the spectators either in state
of exultation or of agony.
Murphy for international Falls
had perfect day at bat; three hits
and walk in four times up giving
him 1000 for the day.
