First Game Of Series Grabbed

MEET TUCSON AGAIN FRIDAY

(F'rom EThe Apache Warcry"

Showing exceptionally G o d
m, the fast, hard-hitting
Apaches defeated the highly tout
ed Tucson high baseball nine in a
hard-fought game played last
Saturday afternoon in the local
diamond. Taking the lead from
the first inning, our boys forged
ahead, and were never headed by
the visitors. Every player showed
up we'll all through the game, par
ticularly in batting.
In the first stanza, Nogales
made three runs when bingle, a
triple, and homer were clouted
almost in succession. Astiazaran,
fast Apache catcher, got the triple,
and F.ores, poppy captain, knock
ed the homerun. Nogales scored
again in the third when Astrain
socked the pill for a three bagger.
A couple of doubles in the next
inning brought in three men on
the Apache side. From then on,
Nogales international., 1928-04-17

the Apaches were unable to chalk
any more points.
The Badgers scored t.! cir first
runs in the second inning. They
got another man in in the third
frame, and another in the fifth
when D. Garlic slugged the bal
for a complete circuit with one
man on In the last session, D.
Carril made a. double, bringing
in another man.
"Bishop" Velasco, fast Apache
twirled, pitched a good game
Despite the fact that nine hits
were secured eff him, he only
walked one man, and gave an
other a ticket to first by hitting
a Badger player. In many in
stances he was in position which
many would not wish to be in, but
he managed to get out OF them
unscathed. Astiazaran, too, de-
serves a great deal of credit. In
him the Apaches possess a good
catcher and good batter sizer'

(From "The Apache Warcry"

Mario Lopez, no doubt the best
hitter and fielder on the team,
struck a hard blow to the Apaches
when his family moved suddenly
to Los Angeles. Mario, only a
freshman in high school, looked
like million dollars on the field.
It is true the team will miss
him, but as nothing could be done

ANNU|T|ES FUND
S68,336,761

The Civil Service retirement fund
totals $6S, 336,761, according to the
annual report of the board of
Government actuaries submitted to
Congress today.
The total is based on a valuation
as of June so, 1927.
There are 405.263 employees. elig-
ible to receive retirement annuities
on completion of their service, the
report declares. Annuities are now
being paid to 14,119 superannuated
employees.
The actuaries estimated the value
of future contributions to the fund
by deductions from the salaries of
employees is $342,772,972. They esti-
mated that the Government will be
required to contribute a total Of
SAC, 558 ,433 which, together with
the funds in hand, make a total Of
1851 ,66S 1855.
The actuarial report. showing the
cash statue of the retirement fund.
is expected to form the basis for q
drive in this session of Congress
for further liberalization Of the re-
tirement laws. Advocates OF fur
ther liberalization declare the fund
is growing more rapidly than tho
actuaries originally estimated. as a
result of the amendment to the law
two years ago increasing the con-
tribution Of employees to ga per
cent of their salaries.

He described the temperatures in

In commenting on the large
number of absences on account of
colds, he pointed out that colds are
prevalent this time of the year in
the most adequately heated homes

bers as in the Towers School. Such
conditions cannot help but lower
the resistance of children, he stated,

The Woman's Bureau head has,

IF we are unable to get the

Wrinkle said today. I'VE should get
that building on Delaware Avenue,

1t for the bureau.
Prisoners could be taken In and
