Il CHA f.,

The Cony team held the last scrim-
,,sge before the Skowhegan game yes
jkrday afternoon and each man was
toM his duty on every play. The Show
t.gan team is a favorite to cop the
r,me, but if the Cony line plays low
and puts up a scrap the Somerset team
viii be out Of luck. The line this sea-
son is green and has shown habit of
rhying up too high. Coach Pierce is
confident, however, that the boys have
successfully ironed out this fault.
Owing to the fact that the bus can
take only IS men, several good players
who have made other trips will have
to be left behind. This list includes
men who are out on account of in
juries, men who have been injured
and have not yet regained their stride,
and men who have just failed to make
The grade so far this season. The fol-
lowing men will make the trip: Coax
ley Diplock Weymouth, Hunnewell,
Bilodeau, Cunningham, Baker, Brann,
Thorne, Hayden, Murphy, Hickey,
Bagey, Richmond Hayden, Rand,
bennett, Lister and Captain Hilton.
Fabrizi, who has been groomed for
the fullback for the Skowhegan game,
has developed sore foot and will be
unable to play. bennett has a cracked
rib but will play part of the game at
least Hunnewell, who has been slow
ed up since leg was hurt early in the
week, will not start. Weymouth will
start the game in guard and viii prob
ably play the greater part of the game.
Bill Howell, who used to parade his
wares for Cony High school, will start
at end on the Catholic University team
against Boston College today. Bill
vas one of the main factors in his
teams win over the Norfolk Marines
last week end. Last year Boston Col
lsge just nosed out Catholic by a
touchdown in the last few minutes Of
play.

was a star third baseman, but not a
star Splinter. Another high spot OF
that same series was Red Faber's
theft of third base. Stealing third
is o. K, especially in an important
game, but when the famous White
Sox pitcher stole it, it was already
occupied by team mate.
"Hod" Eller's strike out record Is
narred by the fact that his victims
were members of the notorious
BLACK Sox." His feat occurred on
October 6, 1919. "Chief' Bender,
besides winning the most world series
victories, struck out fifty-nine batters
in five series, another record.

P. O. INSPECTOR
ASKS CHANGES I'm
WINSLOW ROUTES

Changes in mail routes to Leupp,
Cedar Springs and Dilkon, to be
served out of Winslow, have been
recommended to the department at
Washington, according to letter
received yesterday by Postmaster
A. r. Kleindeinst from D. A. Press
ley, postoffice inspector for the
Northern Arizona district, follow
ing a survey of the situation made
by the postal official last week.
Accompanied by the Winslow
postmaster Mr.. PRESLEY spent most
of last week on tour of the small
er postoffices on the Indian reser-
vations north of Winslow, which
included Cedar Springs and Leupp.
At present the Leupp office is serv-
ed by route out of Canyon Diablo,
while the Cedar Springs and Dill
kon offices are served out of Jo-
seph City. The inspector recon-
mends that due to better roads and
Winslow being the logical point
from which the mail can be more
speedily and adequately handled,
that the changes be made.
Postoffices on the reservation in
spected during the week were Hol-
brook, Indian Wells, Dilkon, Cedar
Springs, Polacca, Keams Canyon,

Local Activity Of
r. O. A Attracts
Wide Attention,

Beside calling the attention of the
public to the fact that the national
anthem is suffering from anti-pa-
triotic attacks, the last meeting of
the Winslow chapter of the Reserve
Officers Association brought anoth-
er fact even more interesting to To-
cal people, and that is that the
pronounced activity of the Winslow
chapter has attracted attention all
= Ser the state.
Major G. H. Rutherford, judge
advocate general of the state asso-
citation, in addressing the reserve
officers, stated that this chapter
had been so active in association af-
fairs, and had proved by actual ac-
complishments what it could at
tain, that he would recommend
that the next president and secre-
tary of the state association be cleo
ted from Winslow.
Winslow will be represented also
at both the state convention of re-
serve officers and the national con-
vention. The state meeting will be
held at Tucson in September and
the national body will meet at Nor
folk, Virginia, in October. Lieut..
q. J. McQuillan was chosen delegate
% both conventions, G. w. Nelson
being chosen as alternate, and j.
w. Heflin, second alternate.

NEW FIRE TRUCK
ARRIVES; PROVES
WORTH I'M TESTS

Monday morning saw the advent
in Winslow Of efficient fire pro-
lection in the form of the recently
purchased American-La France
triple combination fire engine
which arrived on that day in charge
of l.. C. Lonkey, factory instructor
who will initiate local firemen into
the art of handling the big ma
chine. The new truck was ready
for test run Monday afternoon
and has been used several times
this week in tests.
The pumping hoses have been at
tached in practically every fire hy-
drant in town, and unofficial tests
have been made in different local
tiles.
Among those to inspect the
truck on one of it's runs was Divi-
sion Engineer r. c. Kline, who ex-
pressed himself as impressed by
the demonstration. Many other To-
cal people have seen the big red
fire-bus in practice, and it has ma
turally excited much interest.
The three-hour underwriters test
will be made this week, it is under
stood. In this it will be necessary
fo1' the pumper to demonstrate its
ability to throw 750 gallons per
minute for the full three hours. 1t
is believed that this test will be
made at Clear Creek in order not
RI drain tho local mains to a dan
gerous extent.
Reports from over the state show
that wherever an American-La
France machine such as Winslow's
has been purchased, insurance
rates have dropped from Is to 25
per cent, and with this adequate
protection here, it is believed that
such a reduction in rates will be
effected locally in the near future.

DEFUNCT BANK
CASES SETTLED
FEDERAL COURT

PRESCOTT - Nearly a score of
cases arising out of the closing of
the Bank of Winslow and set for
court and the superior courts of
Navajo and Apache counties were
settled this week when attorneys
for A. T. HammonS, state superin-
tendent of banks, representing the
defunct institution, and for the var
ious plaintiffs which included
White and the First National Bank
of Albuquerque, settled the suits.
The case which brought all this
to a focus was that of the Albu-
querque bank against Hammons
and the Winslow bank, with George
Jarvis, treasurer of Apache county,
appearing as an intervenor.
The settlement of the cases,
which wipes the heaviest part from
the calendars of the Apache and
Navajo counties, was pursuant to
the consent of Judge Crosby of Ma
vajo county, before whom the re-
ceivership is recorded.
The only litigation still remain
ing before the federal court is the
claim of the Apache county treasur-
er against the Bank of Winslow and
which, the attorneys for the bank
have assured the various plaintiffs,
will in no way affect the settlement
of the other issues
Favour and Baker of this city
represented the plaintiffs in the
bank cases, D. E. Mclaughlin and
Judge Sidney Sapp appearing for
Mr.. Hammons and the Winslow
bank, while the Apache county Of
ficial is represented by Isaac Barth.
