To be sure you too, innumerab BILE

Within the past 500 years the stage
has devoted more OF talent and zeal
to the interpreta ton OF Shakespeare
than to that of all other dramatic
poets combined Around this celestial
sun of genius an imposing galaxy OF
stars circle. In the literary heavens
no other constellation approaches the
august splendor of that formed by the
Bard of Avon and his satellites. The
ma mes of great Shakespearean actors
and Interpreters roll off the tongue
soundingly, like Homer's roll call OF
the ships. Macready, Garrick, Bet
terton, Irving, Booth and others, and
others Yet all Of these, essential imi-
tators as they clearly are, have not
succeeded to any appreciate degree
in bringing together the most human
of all poets and the great bulk OF the
common people. For stage purposes.
Shakespeare has been reduced to the
measure of routine unreality, to the
stature of an automatic performer.
1t is an intellectual enterprise of no
small dimensions to read into these
repetitive representations, famous as
they are, the true qualities OF
Shakespeare power of universal
appeal. An enterprise. this. to which
the body of theatergoers is not equal.

DOUGLAS GIRLS
VOTE TO BRING
BASEBALL.

Miss Ina c. Cuttings, physical educa-
tion instructor at the University of
Arizona, recently sent QUESTIONABLE
to Miss Lucille Darner, girls coach at
the Douglas high school, on inter-
school athletics. Miss Cuttings has in
mind a series of baseball games to be
played between Arizona high schools
during university week in April The
outstanding question was in regard to
starting baseball to replace basketball,
which has been ruled out in the south
ern part of the state. Miss Darner
replied Monday in effect that Douglas
would be interested in baseball. The
tournament would take place at the
university officials at little expense
to the high schools.
Miss Cuttings is an outstanding fig
ure in girls athletics in the west and
has been a member of a number of
western athletic boards. Miss Cuttings
is an exponent of the plan of bringing
all the girls in school under the
supervision of gymnasium directors,
rather than developing few super
athletes for competition.

METAL MARKET.
WEAK ALTHOUGH
DEMAND STRONG

In spite of a maintaining of continu-
Gus demand and large consumption,
the metals continue to recede in price,
copper to 1875, lead to 1865, zinc to
69O and silver a little stronger at
12, according to the current issue of
the Mining Journal. 1t seems to be
the general opinion that some further
dropping of prices may be expected as
result of the slump in automobile
production, the drop in the building
trades and the fact that industry in
general is dropping from it's high level
of the fall of 1926.
The announcement of the American
Smelling and Refining company con-
tract price on lead dropping from 7.SO
to 1865 was largely due to the fact
that most of the business that had
been done in lead during couple of
weeks previously had been at that low
figure. The local market has dem
onstrated remarkable ability to abb
sorb lead, as is evidenced from the
fact that during 1926 about $4,000 tons
have been imported as against $4,000
tons during 1925, this coming from
Mexican ores and that this has been
absorbed in the United States as the
exports to Europe do not show any
thing like this increase.
There has been a decided slowing
up in business on the part of the gall

Weaver not only denied knowledge OF
the fixed Labor day series between
Detroit and Chicago in 1917, but he

dent b. B. Johnson has constantly

He has pointed out that the neces-

the ball parks. However, with the
exception Of posting. signs stating
no gambling is allowed, little at
tention has been paid to the situa-

Many Reactions

MANY heactlOnS
Since the major leagues permitted
the first four teams to share in
the world series receipts, it prac-
tically killed off the use of new
material in the fall.
Prior to permitting the first four
clubs to share in the big melon,
the moment a manager realized his
team was definitely out of the race,
he would make use of many of the
recruits gathered up by the scouts.
In this way it was possible for
club to get mighty good line
on a great many of the bush league
phenoms. Often it aided the club
in. sorting over the material and
eliminating a lot of players who
otherwise would have 20 be taken
south for spring training.
While letting the first four clubs
set piece of the world series coin
has undoubtedly kep- clubs going
at top speed, it has had other re-
actions that have hurt the sport.

Humnn Equation

Greed for money has created most
of the present unpleasantness in
baseball. The thing to do is erase
the conditions that create the evil.
When several teams are battling
for the win, show, place or fourth
money in major league baseball, the
law of human equation will always
enter into the actions of the players
on the teams that have no chance
to cut in on the money.
Certain teams and players are
always more popular than others.
While the teams out of the running
may not have any dishonest motives
at heart, it is always just possible
they might not exert themselves as
much against the popular club as
the other contenders.
This is unfortunate, but the law
of human equation is mighty hard
to set aside.
