over the Black mountain, rugged
range forming an imposing barrier in
to the slopes of which the runners
dug their toes in a steady upgrade In
short distance they climbed from
an elevation of 1900 feet to thousand

keen mountain air, of which the run

Chance for Revenge

A MEXICAN plans to stage a big
"A comeback this year and bring
back some or all those American
cups in France probably will get
an auspicious start in the coming
national indoor championships in
New York.
The indoor cup, like the outdoor
trophy and the Davis Cup, has been
the property of France since 1925
when the French players started
what eventually became a clean
sweep of the American courts.
Jean Borotra won the indoor
cup in 1925, Rene Lacoste won in
1926 and Borotra came back and
won it again last year.
American players, however, will
be heavy favorites to win back the
indoor trophy this year. No
Frenchmen are entered.
Borotra is on a tour of the world.
Henri Cochet is tied down by bust
ness affairs and Lacoste is still in
the army
II LdcoSte cannot get a turlOugh
and there are no foreign entries.
some american player is almost
certain to lcin the championship.

Fruit Trees in City
Blossom Beautifully
Greet Early Spring

With all the grass and flowers that
the gentle spring breezes have brought
forth within the city the past three
weeks the most beautiful sign of the
approach of summer is the mass of
blooms that covers every pear tree in
the district.
One does not ordinarily notice the
large number of pear trees that are
growing on the lawns of the city but
just now they stand out against, all
surroundings. They are great masses
and clusters of white with the darker
stems running up from the trunk
merely as lines among the whiteness.
The apple blooms are prettier but
not nearly so thick There is some
thing so pink and white and fragile
about the apple blossom that they
quite outdo the pear in attraction. The
pears this year, however, have put on
an extra plenteous supply of blooms so
that they are an object of comment
on every hand.
Now is the time when the resident
who purchased trees some months ago
and planted them may be seen every
day parading about the lawn seeking
buds or signs of greening about his
little hopefuls for what man wants to
Fay out money and labor in the hope
of growing shade tree only 70 find
that the tree has died somewhere be-
tween the digging up at the nursery
and the shining of the spring sun on
Douglas.
This has been good year for new
ly planted trees if all indications have
a meaning for it is found that many
of them have survived through the
extra moisture that early rains brought
and through the early spring which
gave them chance to grow sooner
than in some years.

BASEBALL WAITS.
ORCANIZATlO
OF CITY LEAGUE
Four Teams Are Ready in
Big League and Many in
Twilight Division

Douglas baseball fans are beginning
to demand action toward the forming
Of the Douglas baseball league or some
other league, organization, contract,
agreement or arrangement whereby
the city will be assured of first class,
scheduled baseball games in competi-
ton between good teams in series of
contests during the coming summer
months.
All experts admit that the teams are
here. There is no professional mate
rial among the players but there is
good material and some of it may be-
velop into professional material if it
is given a chance and may be bought
up and shipped out to the coast or to
Texas or nayhap to the big leagues Of
the east.
None of this material will ever get
bought up and shipped unless baseball
is scheduled here regularly and right,
the fans argue. It is the dream OF
every fan to have Douglas represented
on half the big league teams and to
have the city noted wherever baseball
is discussed as the producer of big
league material.
So the teams are here. There are
four full fledged teams that are Of
age and may all be worked into the
league. There are half dozen poten-
tial boys teams and will be a dozen
before the summer is half over so that
the Twilight league is assured a great
er strength and finer brand of sport
this year than last That much is
certain.
The organization of the adult teams
into something of a playing arrange
ment with some club or organization
to handle, the schedule, arrange ticket
sales, care for the funds and handle
material and equipment is the need
and the demand at present. The teams
have been practicing. There were sew
eral practice games over the weekend
which showed the calibre of the outfits
and it is high calibre.
Any proposition to take over and
manage the teams for the purpose OF
giving Douglas a regularly scheduled
summer Of baseball contests will be
considered by the leaders of the vari-
GUS teams and the fans ere expressing
the hope that something will be done
soon for in another week or two the
teams will all be whipped into shape
to play ball.
Some of the fans have started out
to secure the necessary organization
backing and it is expected that some
thing concrete and effective will come
OF the urge promptly.
