Bisbee is strong for the organi7

the bali rolling in calling the meet
ling for Sunday afternoon. Tucson
and Nogales sports writer's have
been advocating the organization of
the league
Among the Douglas baseball fans
who have supported the team in the
past and are prominently connected
with arousing of interest in the
game here this year are Joe Tardy,
Francis Ames, Tom Glenn, Henry
Williams, John P. Crowell and others
''The four club league should
prove a success and provide good
baseball for the district this year.,
Francis Ames said Tuesday. Doug

do not want to see the year pass
without the game here.

Tieve Teams in the circuit last
year looked to FL Paso to draw big
crowds and help put the league
over. The attendance at Eel Paso
was a disappointment. I don't be-
lieve that Douglas wants to try 1t
again."
That good baseball can be pro-
vi6ed by local players in the towns
and a few semi mi-professionals is the
general sentiment. It is hoped that
Jobs can be secured for the semi
pros with business houses and in-
dustrial concerns to make the sea-
Son worth their while. There is
wealth of good baseball material in
Douglas at the present time, it was
stated.
Every effort is being made to have
Douglas well represented at the
meeting in Bisbee Sunday and all
interested in the ''clout and catch
pastime are requested to make the
trip and boom the proposed league
Although the meeting called for
Sunday is characterized as a getto,
gether meeting to feel out the gen
eral sentiment in the towns it is be-
lieved that immediate action towards
the organization will follow.

ORGANIZE SOUTHERN ARlZ. BASEBALL LEAGUE
TORONTO PLANS Maloney and Delaney
WELCOME HOME Sized Up for Battle
FOR GEO. YOUNG In New York Friday

NEW YORK, Feb. Is (P).-An advan-
tage in reach height and experience
will rest on the side of Delaney in his
attempt to topple 2OO-pound Jimmy
Maloney in their ten-round heavy
weight fight at Madison square garden
Friday night.
only in weight will Delaney concede
any marked handicap to his husky
Boston adversary. To offset Maloneys
25-pound advantage, the bridgeport
boxer will have a margin OF four ana
one half inches in reach, q quarter OF
an inch in height and the experience
of seven years ring warfare against
outstanding light heavyweights and
heavyw eights.
Critics also contend that speed and
punching power will be on the side or
the Bridgeport contender. In the Bos-
ton entry, however, they also point out
that Delaney will be facing the quick
est moving big man he ever has en-
gagged. Adding to his speed, Maloney
is admitted to carry a singing drive
in both gloves, a rugged attack and
gameness under fire.
Followers Of Maloney expect him to
make rushing fight of the bout boring
| to close quarters behind his sweeping
, left and attempting to wear Delaney
down with a close range body attack.
Delaneys supporters, on the other
hand, believe Jack will profit by an
aggressive battle on the part of the
Boston man. Jacks powerful right,
| they contend, has visited its most
damaging thrusts against oncoming
pugilistic targets.

All roads lead to Bisbee Sunday
when baseball enthusiasts of south
ern Arizona will gather to formulate
preliminary plans for the organiza-
ton of league to furnish this
district with the national pastime
this summer.
The meeting has been called for
2 D. m. at the Queen hotel and sup.
porters of the sport from Tucson,
Nogales, Douglas and Bisbee have
signified their intentions of being
on hand to boost plans for promo
tion of a southern Arizona league.
Present plans call for the or.
ganization of four club league
composed of the cities named above.
Globe and Miami are also reported
as being enthusiastic and desirous
of being admitted to the circuit.
1t seems definitely assured that
cities in this district will make
10 attempt to reform the Copper
league this year, the league having
proved financial fiasco in the
past.
The closeness of the cities mem
toned to each other make the pro,
rosed southern Arizona league a
feasible project, it is pointed out
Tucson, on the western end of the
loop, is only 1913 miles from Doug
las, the eastern point
Expenses of supporting such q
league would be cut to a minimum
through the use of automobiles as
a means of transportation between
the cities. The problem of long
jumps between cities in the Copper
league would be eliminated.
Failure of FL Paso to support the
Copper league members is the rea-
son given by local sportsmen for
the failure of the league in a IL
hssncial way.
In trips to FL Paso last season
Douglas was guaranteed $500 for
each appearance. On two occasions
the team netted 1911 and 1919 IN

tion amounted to $247, leaving hotel
bills and living expenses to be paid

new Street REPAIR
PLAN IS PROPOSED
-,
Capt. Whitehurst Believes
Cuts in Roadways Can Be
~
Fixed More Quickly.

"A new procedure for repairing cuts
made in paved streets for the installa-
tion of underground utility mains was
Planned yesterday by Capt II. {.
Whitehurst, assistant engineer COM
missioner, who has direct supervision
over the District highway department
The repairing of cuts under Capt.
Whitehursts plan will be placed in
charge of the asphalt foreman, posi-
ton created by the recent reorganiZa-
ton of the highway department.
Time Limit on Work.
Quick hardening material will be
used in the reSurfacing and only three
days will be allowed within the city
proper for cut to remain unSur-
faced. The limit in which repairs may
be made outside of the city proper will
be six days.
Capt. Whitehurst believes that
through the use of a quiCk-hardenirG
asphalt or cement and the fixing of a
definite time limit for making repairs
to cuts, the opening of streets closed
for the installation of utility mains
will be greatly expedited. Heretofore,
there has been no time limit for re-
pairing cuts, and often, Capt. White
hurst said it was not unusual for the
drt-filled excavations to go without at
tention for several weeks, presenting
an unfavorable appearance and ca1s-
ing considerable shock to vehicles
when they bumped over such places.
New Plan for Marking.
Capt. WhitehurSt also has adopted
q new plan for marking longitudinal
cuts in the streets. The plan was
tried as an experiment recently on
Thirteenth street between Z and +
streets and proved satisfactory to the
highway engineers. Instead Of an
ordinary straight edge cut, wedge
shaped cut is made. so that when the
asphalt is replaced it is keyed securely
and does not have a tendency to sink
