DAVIS DELIVERS
ADDRESS HERE
MONDAY EVE

In a speech in Tenth street park
Monday evening, State Senator H A.
Davis, candidate for the democratic
congressional nomination, detailed his
legislative record and upon that rec
ord asked support for his candidacy.
The speaker was introduced by J.
w. Tardy, who called attentions to
Davis authorship of the district ir-
rigation act of 1912, the Arizona dec
laration against Mexican priorities to
Colorado river waters and the valua-
BILE Typographical survey now being
made by state and federal funds.
In the course of his speech, Davis
rebuked those who call Arizonans
dogs in the manger." He detailed
many projects now being carried on
in Arizona wherein titles to vast
amounts of water that are being put
into beneficial use are being ad-
Indicated without interference from
California.
"We are perfecting our rights and
consolidating our position every day."
he said 1.-The recent survey puts over
million in the feasible column.
Every development makes our po-
sition stronger about the conference
table and in congress-"
The speaker declared that he would
fight for the rights of the state. 1--WE
have every right any other state as,'
he declared, land I'll be proud to
fight for those rights in congress as
I've tried to protect them in the state
senate"
Incidentally, he predicted early
building of the Charleston dam and
eventual cheap power to reduce, wa
costs in the Sulphur Springs valley.
With these things consummated he
predicted great future for Douglas
and Cochise county.
Following the mass meeting a COM
mittee was organized to promote the
Davis candidacy.

Pinery Canyon Road To
Rustler's Park Will Be
Opened Within a Month

DR.. Charles J. Wilkerson, accompa-
MED by his mother, Mrs. Donnie An
,drews, drove to Turkey creek Sunday
for the day. They were met there by
DR.. and Mrs. c. H. Peck and family
of Bisbee. While there, DR.. Wilker-
son learned from representatives OF
the forestry service that the new road
being constructed over the divide from
Pinery canyon to Rustlers' park will
be open for travel in three or four
weeks. This will open up a splendid
new camping resort for DougIasites
and afford much easier route than
the present one through Cave creek.
DR.. Wilxerson reports very little
fresh water available for campers at
Tuky creek except that obtained from
the ranch houses, as the creek itself
is almost dry-and as for turkeys, he
failed to see a sign TO one though
he says he looked "high and low."

During Saturday-Sunday

A trifle more than $500 was raised
as result of the tag day held Satur-

that they believe that the amount
raised, together with funds which
they plan to raise later, will see the

PITCHING STILL IMPORTANT

Good pitching is still baseball )
most important asset
Even in these days of the semi
lively ball, pitching has the edge
as a consistent winner over batting
power
The Cincinnati Reds can be offered
as Exhibit A" to support the COR
tention that pitching is pre-eminent.
Manager Jack Hendricks team has
been out in front since the season
opened due to it.
While far from "Hitless Wonders
the Reds have no batting punch like
the New York Yankees. rookie
has played the .all-important position
of shortstop. Val Picinich a former
American League backstop, new to
the veteran pitching staff, has dons
most of the catching.
On the surface, the Cincinnati clut
has labored under several supposed
handicaps, but good pitching has
overcome all of them.
| The sensational showing of tn
| Reds, a bit unexpected, has been !
| fine thing for baseball. 1t has givel
| a new and pleasing flavor to the Ma.
tional league race, in which Pitts
burgh and New York were regards
as hot favorites.

TOOK FIVE STRAIGHT

Ability to knock off the strong
contenders is what wins pennants.
So far the Cincinnati club has been
unusually successful in this respect.
For instance, if the Pittsburgh
team fails to repeat, the reason for
such decided upset, will probably be
traced back to recent five game
series between the Reds and the
Pirates, in which the world champs
were defeated five straight
Trimming your strongest contend
er, closest rival, in five straight ball
games is no mean feat. That per-
Torrance is sure to adj greatly to
the confidence of the Cincinnati club
and won't help Pittsburgh
Already of the II games played he
tween the two clubs, Cincinnati has
won II games, a decided edge. Like
wise against the st. Loui sCar'linals,
Cincinnati has recorded eigh- vic
tories while suffering five defeats.
If the Reds can continue knocking
off the contending clubs, Cincin-
natl has a mighty fine chance of
seeing a world series this fall.

Ruths ability to hit home runs mas
always overshadowed his other work
and often rather uhjustly.
This year, aside from his gerat
work in banging out home runs, he
has played superlative baseball III
all other departments.
Until he recently suffered Char
ley-horse," his fielding was brillian'
and his baserunning Of the highest
order He has never thrown better
in his career.
Even more important, however, has
been his batting, aside from the slug
ging feature.
With the season half over he is
close to the 400 mark, goodly dis
tance in front of his most dangerous
. rival at present, Harry Heilmann.
If Ruth is able to bat 400 or bet
| ter this year, he will increase a very
select circle of five outstanding bat
ters to an even half dozen.
