dreas, scout master of troop A of Bis
bee, presided on the platform and
after the Douglas scout band had
opened the program with a well rem
dered selection, AndreaS entertained
an application from Eugene Harris, a
Bisbee boy to join the scouts. In or
der to show Harris what is required of
scout Andreas seated the boy on
the stage and called up before him
the various troops of the county each
of which presented some phase of the
work OF a scout.
All of the assembled scouts joined in
the scout oath and in the salute to
the flag and then various demonstra-
ton were staged Troop of Warren
showed how to use the Ratchet and
knife. This was interesting and well
done.
Troop of Warren boxed the COM
pass with a ceremonial in which 16
boys stood in circle each represent
ing one of the points of the compass.
Under the leadership of L. L. Led
ford, of troop Is of Benson, the first
annual fire by friction contest was
. staged. In this some five or six boys
commended and Alfred Tuell won the
county championship by lighting a
fire in 38 seconds. This was start
ling demonstration for everyone pres
ent.
Under the direction of R. Fergus,
their scout master, troop 2 of Bisbee
gave demonstration Of first aid in
which they applied large number of
different bandages which were then
examined by physicians, each was pro-
nounced the proper bandage for the
subject in hand and each was pro-
nounced properly applied. This work
was done rapidly and we'll.
A signalling demonstration with
lights which flashed from two of the
buttes was done very effectively by
troop 4 of Bisbee under the guidance
of Assistant Scout Master William
Huttermarl. The messages sent and
received between the two stations were
read from the stage by runners who
brought them in from the receiving
stations. ga a

Johnnie Gooch has caught worse
balls in his career, although that was
a very bad pitch, but the series is
over and must give credit to the
Yankees as one of the finest clubs
in the history of baseball. In my
mind, this team must be classed
with the Chicago White Sox of 1919
the greatest club ever saW-the
old Boston Red Sox, Chicago Ma
tionals and more recent New York
Giants.
eve we're dead on our feet from
the start, Our pitching was spotty,
but the Yanks did not hit us con-
siStently. 1t was just a case of two
many FL and 10 victories in the
final stages of the pennant race.
Before could look forward to the
world series had to win the flag
and in doing that the team wore
out, had nothing left for the Yank-
ees. But we'll win the pennant
again next year, and be back with
a better club for the next world Sc
ries. Another year of seasoning and
maybe We'll be the great team
Miller Higgins, Yankee pilot
thought it was whale of game
but was just trifle sorry that such
splendid hurting performance as
Miljus turned in in the ninth had to
end with such flat anti-climaX
after two of the Yanks' most potent
sluggers had famed.
Il felt that wild pitch coming,
Higgins said, "and I was sorry. Mil
jus was trying so hard that some
thing was bound to slip. An infield
error would have been a better end
ing for a final extra inning fight if
Miljus got himself safely out of the
hole"
The mite managers praise was for
Wiley Moore, the silent farmer from
the west, who was purchased from
Greenville, S. c., last fall on his rec
ord alone. Scouts of the major
league clubs would have no part Of
| him. K
"F5e was in lot of holes" Hug
gins said, "but he got out of almost
as many. He's been a great relief
pitcher this season. Next year he'll
be one of our outstanding regulars.
Wiley, bag packed and waiting tc
go, grinned at that.
See you in st. Petersburg, nexi
spring." was all he had to say.

One of the finest exhibitions of the
evening was that of improvising a
stretcher and loading it. Troop 10 of
San Simon with Robert Adams as scout
master, did this work in the record
time of so seconds, thereby establish
ing another record which they will
likely hold for sometime. They used
two poles and the shirts off their own
backs for their stretcher and had it
ready and a limp boy laid out on it
SO quickly that the crowd gasped in
astonishment.
A fine road had been cut into the
parking grounds below the ampi-
theatre and all the cars were easily
lined up well out of the way of pro-
ceedingS. The ampitheatre was well
lighted and the seating arrangements
were wonderful because they were
novel in that they were absolutely
primeval The Douglas scout band
played several numbers during the. eve

served to put the band definitely in
its place as an institution which will

BREAKS WORLD
SERIES RECORD

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 P-The
YANKEES and Pirates will split The
greatest world series player pool on
record. Their share of the four game
receipts amounts to $399, 44O67, sur
Passing by more than $2S,C0O the
previous record "cut" OF $372,SO0.5l,
divided last year.
Because of the likelihood that more
players will be declared I'm on the
money the individual shares will not
he as great. Figured on basis OF
40 shares expected of both CLUBS
each of the triumphant Yankees Will
get SIS. 5o2.1 II and each Pirate 3,728.ll.
The world series clubs share 70 per
cent of the total players pool amount
inc to $279, 6O8.47. on a 6O-4O basis
while the other 30 per cent goes to
the second, third and fourth place
clubs in each league. The division
of this gives $59,916.10 to the second
place teams, $39, 94406 to the third
place outfits and $19a7204 to the
fourth place clubs.
If the other participating CLUBS
divide their pool into 80 shares, the
second place Athletics and Cardinals
will each receive SSSo.oU, llIc 'lellOH
and Senators will get $665.73 apiece
and each Cub and Tiger will be palo
$332S7.
The largest individual players shares
were realized in 1923, when each win
nine Yankee, got $6,14349, and each
losrlg Giant $4,11289.. The players
noel in. that series amounted tc
$368. 1888 .O4, less than the sum to bt
divided in 1927, but there were fewer
shares then than now Last year each
Cardinal collected $5,584.51 and each
Yankee $3,4i775.

ARIZONA LABOR
CONVENTION FOR
STATES RIGHT

TUCSON, Ariz, Oct. 1P-The
verbal fireworks which were expected
in the convention OF the Arizona
State Federation of Labor here to-
day failed to materialize to any extent
and the 18th annual meeting OF the
labor delegates passed a resolution
calling for non-partiSan conference
of organized labor to be held here
next year without a dissenting vote.
In committee it was said that both
Tucson and Phoenix were mentioned
as the next convention site.
Passage of the Pittman resolution,
which originated in the Colorado river
conference in Denver, defining states
rights on The Colorado river question
received the unanimous support of
the delegates and the secretary was
instructed to notify H. S. McClusKey.

The expected fight over the en-
dorsement of Senator Thomas DON

for governor was quashed when the
Donnelly partisans, sensing the OPP
position of the Hunt faction, forced
through the resolution calling for the
nom partisan conference to be held
in conjunction with the meeting of
the railroad brotherhoods of the state
next year. In this manner, it was
learned, the Donnelly faction hopes
to gain endorsement for it's man

NCOuEtllGeQ from rage Cne)
Obry;on spoke kindly of General
Serrano, one of the executed leaders,
but said Serrano was not acquainted
with the real soul and spirit of the
people, and paid with his life for be-
ing led astray by false friends into a
revolutionary attempt.
General Obregon's statement fol-
lows:
"The Gales government has had
q eloquent opportunity to demonstrate
to the world that it's policies have
merited the sanction of the whole
country, because upon the Gomez
Serrano revolutionary movement be-
ing attempted, the entire nation, with
very rare exception, condemned the
movement, protested adhesion to the
government and readiness to uphold
with arms if necessary the inStitu-
lions that government represents and
has known SO successfully how to de-
fend.
IF the Comes errano effort had
had an echo in the public conscience,
it's armed movement would not have
been confined to half dozen faith
less army officers, not even supported
by their subordinates, but, instead,
there would have been many outbreaks
which would have, Surged spontaneous
ly among the civilian elements of the
towns and rural districts.
"But now the nation will be con-
hot In c
the revolution (meaning the move
ment beginning with Madero that
overthrow Porforio Diaz and led to
the Obregon and Gales governments
has brought is the Incompatible
benefit of making impossible that the
triumphS of military revolution can
be a decisive factor in our political
campaigns, but, on the contrary, show
ing that such questions are to be set
tied by democratic campaigns, judged
exclusively by public opinion.
with regard to Gomez, there never
was any danger that he would sue
| coed in grouping around his person
atty any significant nucleus Of mem
bers Of the army. His vanity caused
him to consider himself superior to
everybody else, for which other army
officers could not pardon him for the
errors into which false friends led
| him.
These friends profited so much
| while Serrano was governor OF the
| federal district that they figured how
much more would they profit If Ser
rano were president, and so they pro-
| claimed him their candidate.
"Serrano, despite his graciousness
and talent, had MT had contact with
| the popular soul and spirit Of the
nation, nor had he ever done any
thing which constituted a guarantee
of the proletariat of the towns and
country, as opposed to the interests
of reaction within or without our
country.
"The recent tragic developments
may surprise foreign and superficial
observers, but not those of us who,
being in the fight for all these years,
know the elements opposing the
triumph of the Mexican revolution
(another reference to the movement
beginning with Madero and culminat-
ing with Gales.
s'@Those elements succeeded in al
| Turing Gomez to their designs, under
standing that, they could not control
public opinion enough in fair dem
cratic election and determining to re-
sort to an attempt at arms"
