.BURRO POLO AND
BALL GAMES PUT
ON HERE TODAY

There is a great deal of rivalry be-
tween the members of Fred Hilburn
post of Douglas and i. A.. Engle post
of Bisbee as to which post has the
best burro polo team as well as the
best baseball team.
The titles will be decided this aft

several substitutes except to show
the Bisbeeites some real horseman-
ship. 1t is understood the team from
Bisbee are a bunch of aviators when
it comes to riding a burro.
Immediately following the burro
polo game the Douglas Grays and the
Mexican White Sox (also known as
the Aztecs) will battle for nine in
nings. The Douglas Grays say that
this will be an exceptionally fast
game.
After going over a field of SO or
more possible candidates for the
burro team, Ray Heck, Bisbee cap
tain, has chosen 10 likely athletes
whom he believes will be able to
match skill with any outfit that the
Douglas legion or any other team in
the southwest for that matter, can
place on the field.
The ten players who comprise the
squad are Lyle Peck, Alvin Browning,
C. G. Pidgeon, Walter Roche, c. p.
Gould, Ray Heck, Dave M Britton,
George Spears, Charles Mckay and
C. H. Pickett.

performers in the Bisbee aggrega-
tion, halls from Denver, Colo, and is
said to have won numerous fast and
slow mule races at county fairs when
but a. youngster in knee trousers.
Manager Heck plans on placing Peck
at the goal tenders position.
Another player on whom Heck is
counting on for some stellar is AL
vim Browning, who born and reared
in Kentucky practically grew up, IN
the saddle and has also had consider
able experience as polo player
The Grays and the White Sox will
line up as follows for the game:

JUNIOR YANKS
CLEAN JUNIOR
SENATORS HERE

In a hard hitting contest yester-
day, the Junior Yanks trimmed the
Junior Senators in the Douglas Junior
league by the score of Is to 8.
The contest although slug-fest
proved mighty interesting and some
fast plays were made. Boyle, Ma
honey, Kline and Reidy all worked
well for the winners, turning in fast
plays both in the field and at bat
For the defeated Senator'S, Tardy,
Pine and Farber were the best play
ers Everyone on each team showed
up well and interesting contests are
expected in the near future when
the various Junior league mines meet
for further contests.

Anent Groves.

Perhaps Connie Mack will this year
realize on his investment of 100000
plus few cents, the amount he paid
for Lefty" Groves.
Down south 1 saw Groves strike
out nine of the Phillies in five in
nings, a great pitching feat for SO
early in the season against a club
noted for it's punch.
The other day against Boston,
Groves wo nhis first start, 81,
striking out eight men.
There is no question about stuff,
Groves has plenty of it. If he can
get the ball over without letting up
he is going to win a lot of ball
games for Mack, possibly a pennant.

Form Reverses

This hes been most unusual
spring in baseball circles aside from
the cold weather.
In the exhibition games the Bos-
ton Braves were the sensation of the
Florida grapefruit circuit while the
PhiIlies had trouble winning a ball
game from anybody.
With the start of the season, the
Phillies Immediately broke into the
games won column while the Braves
suffered repeated reverses.
The ST. Louis Cardinals after win
ming 26 straight exhibition games,
came home to meet the st. Louis
Browns in a two game spring series
The Browns won both contests.
With the opening of the regular
season the Cardinals resumed their
winning ways while the Browns lost
five straight.
Even the world champs, the Pitts
burgh Pirates, fell a victim to the
freak spring and instead of immedi
ateIy going out in front have been
trailing from the start.

Carey's Value

Down south when 1 talked with
Rogers Hornsby about the chances of
his club, also those he would have
to beat to win a pennant, he re-
marked to me.
"The Pirates will miss Max Carey
if his illness prevents Eim from
starting.
"Carey is a remarkable ball play
er, who does his work in such easy
fashion that his greatest is some
times overlooked. &e
"Carey is the balance wheel of the
ball club and if for any reason he
should not be able to play his usual
brilliant game, the2 Pirates are go
ing to be badly Handicapped"
1t took only a week for the wis
dom of Hornsby's speech to be veri-
fled, proving what one great ball
player means to a club.
without Carey in the lineup the
Pirates lost six of the first eight
games.
To appreciate what Carey means
to pittsburgh just go back to the
world series of 1925 and figure where
the Pirates would have been with
out him.

More variety

Speed is once again to become a
prominent factor in winning a major
league pennant.
For five or more years speed has
been in the background, due to the
lively ball. making it foolish to take
chances on the bases in the pursuit
of one run.
Baseball is sure to be more inter-
esting this summer as there will be
greater variety to the play.
The steal will be an important fac
tor, the sacrifice will get greater
play, the bunt as method of reach
ing first will be resorted to by fast
men, while the hit and run will also
continue popular.
Incidentally the home run will
carry an even greater thrill because
it will not be nearly SO common a
happening.
A slower ball will give the pitch
ers and infielders a chance to cope
with these various forms Of diamond
strategy.

The City of the Deep.
\ Story of Adventure in the Mysterious Sargasso Sea-
BY JACK GIHON.

moment he was down in the hold,
checking over the work being done
in strengthening the beams of the
vessel, the next he was leaning over
the rail, watching the progress Of
those who were attempting to clear
away the seaweed. This latter was
the hardest task of all. AS quickly as a
rakeful Of the weed would be gath
cred. more would push up in its place.
50 that 1t seemed q useless effort Of
perpetual motion.
All the ships treasured canvas had
been spread out on deck, and here
the women Of the vessel we're enlisted.
Every tiny hole was darned, and in
places where the sails seemed to be
rotting with age, they were reinforced
Thy patches.
I'm our canvas" said Dan, lies our
biggest hopes. The best of breeze
won't help us if the sails are to rip
when they're hoisted."
When the noon gong sounded, and
work was stopped for the lunch and
rest pariod, it seemed that little
Fad been done. Dan was discouraged,
but Bub bolstered him up with his
own CHEEKY courage.
That afternoon, Dan realized that
though steady work would clear a
lane for the ship, when the work
stopped at night, the action Of the
current would close it again. Accord
ingly, he asked for volunteers to do
night work, which would consist
simply of rowing around. and around
the ship in skiffs, dragging a rake
after them.
A dozen men were chosen from the
volunteers that responded, and these
were given a respite from working the
l. -.
rest.
Thus the work went on, night and
day, the whole ship keyed up to a
state of keen excitement, all wonder
ing what the future was to hold for
them.
Much could be said about the valor
of this little band of men, of their
ceaseless efforts. spurred on by Dams
own tireless work, and the courageous
efforts of his helper, Bub.
A week went by, and Dan, scanning
the water around them, announced
that the time had come for the at
tempt at freedom. All around the
ship, the seaweed had been pushed
back, and, looking over the rail- one
could see clear, deep water, instead Of
the green weed that had chung tc
the hold before.
The carpenters had done their
work. Two great rakes had been con.
structed, with series of guide ropes
which would allow them to be
operated from the decks and gradu
ally push aside the tenacious weeG
as the ship progressed. Every beam
in the vessel had been gone over, and
the masts had been strengthened
while the canvas was rugged and
furled, ready to be hoisted whenever
Dan said so.
Were ready to try" Dan said to
Brother John. "'Tis calm tonight, but
I think by morning We'll have a stiff
wind. We have done all we CALI"
And that Is Q great DEAL" replied

Erother John fervently. Let us pray
that your efforts have not been In
vain"
That night there was little sleep
had by those on the ship. 1t had been
announced at the supper table tnat
the trial would be made on the NOR
row. and every man. woman ana cnlld
was excited about it. Only two on
board that ship had much to lose
and those were Dan and Bub. the
others knew no other world save the
decks of this vessel, and a departure
from this mass of seaweed would be
simply a great adventure for them.
But the two young mariners. in the
evenings when they had been resting
from the days toll. had told them of
this other world, where Dan and Bub
came from, and all were eager to see
it and to feel soft earth against their
feet.
Dan and Bub were tired when they
finally turned in.
I'm afraid, Bub-I'm afraid" said
Dan. Maybe we won't be success
ful.''
But we've got to be. We will be-
know it," responded Bub. We've
worked too hard to fail"
IF we only have a good wind" NUT
! tered Dan, and then, strange to say
fell asleep.
| True to Dams expectations, a stiff
wind was clipping in from the cas-
| when he awoke at dawn. All through
| the night men in skiffs had been tire
less, keeping the lane open by con.
| stantly traversing it, and the momen
had now come to put the ship to the
trial. She was sturdy vessel, We.
would she be able to overcome these
obstacles?
Breakfast was forgotten. Dan sum
moned the men to take their places.
He sounded a gong and shouted for
sail to be hoisted.
