SOX ARE
READY TO PLAY
BALL ANY TIME,

j. Vasquez, captain of the Mexican
White Sox, the baseball team which
walloped SO many of the would-be big
leaguers last season, announced last
evening that he and his team had held
an organization meeting and were ready
to play baseball He said that the team
this year will have almost every first
class Mexican ball player in the area.
A. Villegas, manager of the team, is
asking for games with any team The
Sox are willing to join the four team
league which has been talked of as a
possibility for Douglas and Aqua Prieta
for this season and they are prepared
to show the other three teams how
to play baseball.
They want games with outside teams
at present as there seems little ikli-
hood of getting together any other To-
cal teams right away The Sox played
the Camp Jones outfit last fall for the
championship Of the district and the
struggle, showed that the Sox had a
real baseball team. That the team is
better this year is the promise of the
management
Neither Vasquez nor Villegas would
make any statements last evening as
to what sort of an arrangement they
would like to see for the baseball sea-
son here this year All they would
say was that they wanted some teams
to play against and that they would
give them some good baseball when
they met.
The plan that has been offered is
for that four teams be organized here,
two Mexican teams and two American
teams and that they play through the
season for the championship of the
district. The Mexican White Sox have
taken the bull by the horns or the
baseball by the tail, and started their.
team already and stand ready to put
their shoulders to the wheel or their
hands to the ball to help put over any
thing that will make for good base
ball, their manager and captain said
last evening.

FRENCH .poPEn. 70 WIN !

AVA ~
Even with Johnston, in there the
chances would be- dubious, for John
ston would have to depend upon minor
league assistance and the Australians
certainly are not bush leaguers on
the court no matter. how far they
may have gone back.
In spite of the optimism felt by the
tennis association, it has been point
ed out frequently that the United
States not only has a mighty slim
chance to win the cup back from
France this year but that it is not
dead cinch that the American team
will be able to win its way through
the eliminations into the challenge
round
AS long as Rene Lacoste, Henri Co
chet, Jacques Brugnon and Jean Bo-
rotra retain their fine form, France is
going to, keep the Davis cup. And
that, in the normal course Of events,
should be long, long time.
1t has been said that the world tour
being made by Brugnon and Borotra
would throw them off their game and
be of assistance to the United States
in fighting for the cup.

Tunney and Rickard already have
come to virtual agreement on a pro-

promoter disclosed in confirming pub

with the titleholder and a corps of
lawyers here January z The final
draft of terms is expected to be sign
ed sat Miami, Fla, late this week.
Rickard leaves Wednesday for the
south.
The chief stumbling block in the
way of the negotiations today APP
peared in Richards refusal to guar
antee Tunney any such sum as the
champion drew for his match with
Dempsey in Chicago last fall.
THE racket will not stand two
million dollar purses in one year"
Tex said, explaining Gene must sign
a new contract agreeing to straight
percentage of the gate receipts The
option Rickard now holds on the

AUSTRALIAN NET STARS


AuStralia's return to the Davis cun
competition with an invading force
headed by the veterans Gerald pat
terson and Jack Hawkes. will war
rant more than casual interest on the
part of the United States Lawn Ten
mis- association.
AS the sponsor for the cup and
the one most responsible for it's ele-
walton to one of the most valuable in
ternational trophies, the United States
regretted to see Australia withdraw
from the competition two years ago
because for years without the Aus
tralians there would have been very
little competition
Socially, the United States will
welcome the Australians back because
they are well known and popular, but
their status now will not be like that
of a guest as it was when the Aus
tralians were fighting some other ma
tion here to get into the challenge
round against the American cup de-
tenders.
AS a host nation during the days
when Australia and Japan were doing
most of the fighting for the cup, the
United States couldn't take sides but
it was a secretly admitted fact that
the high minds Of the tennis assOcia-
tiOn preferred to- have the Australians
in the chaIlange round. The Aus
tralians were better drawing card
than the japanese.
MAY MEET AMERICANS
Australia, however, now returns as
a rival and if form holds, as it usu-
ally does in tennis, the Americans
and the Australians may meet in the
final round of the American zone
winner to decide which team shall
meet the winner of the eliminations
in the European zone.
There may be disposition on the
part of the public to underestimate
the strength of Australia because Pat
terson and Hawkes. have had SO many
chances in the past against the Ameri-
cans and we're found short
Patterson and Hawkes., however, are
still very good players They GER
tainly cannot have gone back farther
than Tilden and Johnston.
1t may be that Tilden has slipped
more, than Patterson because the de-
cline of Tilden seems to have been a
physical one and Patterson, big,
strong, rugged fellow, ought to be just
as strong now and have as much en-
durance as he had the last time he
played in this country

instant"
Alice obeyed swiftly. Springing upon
Baldy's back, she urged the slow old
horse into a trot. Yet it seemed as
II she would never reach the barn,
never get Baldy hitcned to the hay
rigging. One thought turned over and
over in her mind. If the hay got wet
it would be spoiled, the way it was last
year. She saw her year at Gardner
High. all her bright hopes and plans
for the future, fading into impossibili-
ty If the hay got wet.
Continual roars from the distance
accompanied Alice as she drove back
to the bayfield,. Her mother and the
twins were hurrying thither. The five
OF them began to work like Trojans,
oblivious to all else.
You want help here?" Alice looked
up from the great forkful she was try
ing to lift. The chief of the gypsies
stood beside her. She motioned toward
to sky, unable to speak.
Instantly the man made some sig
nal unknown to her. In response the
gypsies came flocking to the field, both
men and women, leading their horses
a score Of them, by the name.
With swift movements the women
feaped the hay while the men bound
it with ropes deftly twisted from dried

grasses The great bundles were plac-
ed on the horses backs.
A strange sight, that bayfield,! Yet
inspiring to at least one of the wu'k-
ers Alice saw with gratitude swelling
her heart that the dark-faced folk in
their gay garments were determined to
beat the storm. When the procession
started fo- the barn and Baldy fell far
behind, dragging the heavy-laden hay
rigging, a group of women fell to and
pushed the wagon along. In the barn
the men moved away while the women
hoisted up to them the great bundles.
Then back to the field the whole crowd
went racing.
AS the last bundle of hay found its
place under the caves the rain began
to fall. Mounting their horses the gyp-
sizes fled to the shelter of their camp
From the kitchen window Alice
watched the driving rain. the darting
lances of lightning, heard the pealing
of the thunder, which lessened in VOL
ume as the storm moved onward.
It was dusk before the rain ceased.
The world was drenched and torn.
Over the radio David was getting re-
ports of the worst storm OF the Sum-
mer.
Down beside the creek the fires of
the wanderers glowed brightly Pres
entity David and Alice and the twins
laden with baskets made their way
thither. They were bearing generous
hospitality to their guests.
Next morning Alice, awakening from
the dreamless sleep of youth and weari-
ness, sprang from her bed and ran to
the window. The sun was shining glo-
riously on the place of encampment, but

AUTOPRODUCT|ON
|SABOvE AVERAGE
July Output 40 Per Cent Over
Last Year's-Summer
Is Good.

No important change in output for
the major branch of the automobile
industry Is apparent as compared with
either of the preceding weeks of July
or with June. according to B. H. Cram,
president of Grams Automotive Reports,
Inc. Schedules for the current month,
however. are running approximately 40
per cent in excess of July last year,
and indications point to the present
Summer period being close to the best
that the industry has ever known.
Due to the generally unfavorable stu
alton that existed in the last few
months of 1927, 1t was felt in many
quarters that the industry would be
stimulated in the early part Of this
year to point where the market would
be fairly we'll satisfied before July !,
and that the remaining six months Of
1923 would show steady downward
trend. It has been fairly well ksIab-
lished by now. however, that such Is
not the case, and that the industry may
be expected to operate at levels consid-
erably above the normal seasonal aver
age for the remainder Of the year.
The sales situation shows no change.
with a firm and steady demand existing
in practically every section of the coun-
try. Models in all price classes are
moving In an equally satisfactory man
ner, and nearly every manufacturer Is
enjoying better than average busi-
ness. The weather. newly introduced
models. and to some extent a market
carried over from last Summer are all
factors in the present situation. Dealers
in many cases are in better position
than they have been for months, with
showroom stocks low and used-car
stocks being depleted rapidly. In fact,
a few localities report used-car short
age, and this phase Of the business Is
the most favorable that 1t has been
at any time this year.
