Plans for an active fall and winter
bowling season were adopted at a
meeting Of the board of directors of

ditional members were added to the

terstate secretary, to be here at that
time and assist in the drive. 1t is ex-
pected that at least 100 new adult

The general secretary's report indi-
Gated that an average of $50 baths
and SWirns per day were taken during

held for various membership groups
are proving popular He also reported
that prospects for the three day
older boy camp, previous to the open
ing of school, looks very favorable.
Senor Escobar, a native of Chill

the board whereby he proposed to es-
tablish a branch association eXelus'
lively for Mexican boys After consid-
erabIe discussion the matter was

RAIN HALTS
GAME DURING
SECOND STANZA

Jupiter Pluvious halted the Doug
las-Bisbee game yesterday at the be-
ginning Of the second inning after one
man was out. The game will be played
at some future date when the BiSbee
team has an open date.
From all indications the game
would have been a real battle as both
teams were on edge and the fielding
was strong on both teams. Manager
Hargis selected Winters as his pitch
ing choice while Gotta was given the
call for the Douglas team. About the
strongest lineup that has represented
Douglas for several moons was on the
field Au3tin, McRae, Miller and
Arvizu formed the inner defense,
while Pereya, Ruterman and Rivera
were in the garden. Molino was doing
the backstopping. The Bisbee De-
Molay had stronger team than they
had on their first visit and looked like
q Snappy bunch in their workout. The
terrific downpour made the playing
field lake with no indications of
drying off within several hours.
The story of the game:
First Inning
Bisbee: Wilson rolled hot bounder
to McRae but was thrown out at first.
NTilitunovich popped high fly to
Molino and j. Holt grounded to Gotta.
No hits, no runs, no errors.
Douglas: Pereya drew a walk. Aus
tin hit into double play, Winters to
Wilson to Holt. McRae singled to CEN
ter field and came all the way across
the plate when Ruterman ripped off a
tnree-bagger down the left field foul
line. Polo struck out. One run, two
hits, no errors.
Second Inning
Bisbee: B. Holt grounded out to Nc
Rae. Hargis rolled a slow hopper to
Gotta. Miller fumbled Slater's ground
er and the runner was safe. On the
hit and run play Oliver hit to short
who fumbled and both runners adj
vanced base while the ball was be-
ing retrieved. Slater and Oliver were
left stranded when Crouch sent a
pop fly to Gotta. No hits, on runs,
two errors.
Douglas: Slater took care of Miller's
grounder and threw the runner out as
first. The game ended when rains be-
gan to fall in torrents.
The game will be played later in the
week or possibly on Sunday. The
Twilight league team is anxious to
meet any local team in series OF
games. The Twilight team is ready to
play Thursday and Friday of this
week.
The Twilight team is scheduled tc
play the 25th infantry team Sunday
at p. m. Clinton Cary, high school
ace, will get the call to work on the
mound for the TWiliphterS.

Batting Of Gehrig Is Feature

Batting of Gehrig Is Feature
Last season the New York Yankees
carly assumed commanding lead in
the American league race because OF
three sustained winning streakS, last
Ing over 8, IL and 16 victories.
This year the Yankees are out i'll
front because of the added power that
Lou Gehrig has furnished at the bat.
Not only has "Powerhouse LOU" az
his teammates know him, stolen muck
Of Babe Ruth's thunder but he also
has been q whale at driving in runs.
Gehrig, a good batsman last sea-
son, has been a truly great one
this year. His superlative hitting
has been the biggest improvement
in the play OF club that has mad.
progress in various other features.
Even if Ruth shoulG catch ant
pass Gehrig in the stretch of the
American league home-run derbv the
latter's great batting will stand as
one of the high lights of the present
season.
Gehrig has great power in his
shoulders and arms, while Ruth
get his distance because of the
''Swish" of his swing. He starts
far back and has a long follow
through.
Praise For Pitchers From Pilot
In the spring it was admitted New
York had a strong offense but the
defense was questioned, principally
the pitching. Now comes Manager
HIGGINS strongly to the front for his
pitching staff.
"The credit due my pitchers has
been overlooked because of the great
batting OF the entire club says Miller.
Several weeks back when we beat
Washington in double header and
scored something like 35 runs in the
two games, the phenomenal batting
OF the club was given much space,
but no thought was rendered the
pitchers. AS I@recall it, Washington
got two runs ir one game and one
tally in the other.
'"The Yankee pitching in the
slaughter of the Washington club
was well nigh perfect, but it was
passed over without comment because
the entire club went on a batting
rampage.
Higgins is right again. ....ew
York has had the most con-
sistently good pitching i'll the
American league. The pitching
has been on par with the
batting, which is saying consid-
erable.
Harris Has Some Hope Left
Despite the commanding lead tbs
New York club now boasts, the
American league race would have
been bang-up affair had Washing
ton not started SO slowly, due to poor
pitching.
'"They say that 80 games will usual
ly win big league pennant," said
Manager Harris of Washington to me
recently. 'Well, we are going to
win that many this year and oul
chances of going over are not very
bright
'"That fellow Gehrig is the differ
ence for better between the Yanks
of this year and last. If he had
heen travelling normal this season,
Washington would be right on New
York's heels.
"Take it from me New York has
more than brute strength. It has
a fine outfield, slick working COM
| bination around short and second
and has been getting smart pitching
Don't get the impression that this
Mats are out of it. A lot of Things
can happen in baseball from, now
TO October. However, if we don't get
'em this year, we will next"
At the present time, no club
| in the majors is playing better

dressing up, too Following the carelessness sponsor
ed by summer apathy, there is considerable junk and
rubbish about homes and places of business which
should be removed.
Not only is this condition unsightly and indicative
of sovenliness the part of individual and business
houses, but in many it constitutes fire risk and
menace to health.

accomplished with an hour or two of work
