been very good with the. rail liYSs of
the trans continental group in recent
months, according to I. C, Bruce, dis
trict passenger agent for: the Rock
Island system, with headquarters in Ell
P2so. Mr.. Bruce was in the. citv yes
terday on his occasional visit to Doug
las, calling upon the business men and
local representatives of the Southern
Pacific lines.
'West coast reduced, rates have prov
ed especially attractive, to the people
of the central part of the country and
the east" said Bruce. Traffic east is
reasonably good v7'oilo &c traffic west
is very heavy. People throughout the
country were generally prosperous last
year and in larger numbers than ever,
they are taking advantage of a respite
from work and chance to visit the
sections of milder climate along the
southern border and the Pacific coast.
1t looks like that business might easily
establish new high mark for the VIM

Another year, succeeding one that

a good start with Bill Tilden and the

ton training for another battle and
with the Army and Navy debating
on the use of real cartridges in 1925

The bout between 'Tilden and the
executives of tennis has not proved
much of thriller because they have
been in the opposite corners of several
previous encounters which resulted in
a draw with claims of victory on
each side.
Tilden says that some concessions
were made to him when he was
valiantly defending his right to use
his literary talent in supplying an
eager public with his ideas on tennis
The concessions have not been made
known but it is matter of history
that Tilden went on playing tennis

SEXTON URGES
A PUBLIC GOLF
LINK In CITY

j. P. Sexton, superintendent of the
Arizona Edison company addressed
the city council last evening, asking
that a municipal golf course be con-
structed near this city. In his adj
dress he told the council that such
courses in other cities are crowded,
very popular and pay big dividend
into the city treasures.
Sexton related that the usual plan
was to let the privileges of the golf
course to the residents of the city at
a yearly rate very low and to charge
a higher rate to tourists and other
visitors. He pointed out that this city,
being on a heavily Travelled tourist
route is in position to attract many
people if there we're good golf
course here.
Another point that did not escape
the councilmen in this talk was that
land is relatively cheap here now
and is not likely to be so cheap in
years to come so that golf course
purchased now will be paying big
dividends when land gets so high that
It, could not be purchased for such
q purpose.
It was brought out at the council
meeting in connection with this ad-
dress that the council has plans for
creating an amusement park of much
lager dimensions where the Fifteenth
street park is now located and that
if a golf course were built it would
be started from some point near the
present playground park,

MINOR LEAGUES
BACK WAY DOWN
In DRAFT FIGHT

CHICAGO, Jan. (F1-The draft war
among the minor leagues came to a
sudden end / today. The resolution
adcp,ed at Dallas last month, ordering
the five big minor leagues to cease
their modification of the draft, was
rescinded by unanimous vote of dele
gates, representing all the minors, both
big and little. r
Todays resolution, in addition to
annulling the Dallas action, provided
thai the methods of former years
should continue during the incumbency
of KennesaW Mountain Lands as base
balls $4,000 a year commissioner.
Commissioner Lands did not attend
the meeting today and neither did the
various major league representatives
who conferred with the minor league
magnates before the executive session
bgan.
In less than two hours the five big
minors = International, Pacific coast,
and Three-Eye league, and the South
ern and American associations, had
presented their opposition to the Dallas
resolution and had won their right 20
continue under the modified draft.
This system permits the major leagues
to draft only those players who have
come down from the major leagues,
and protects the clubs of the big five
in possession lof their rockies they
have developed themselves for sale to
the majors at fancy prices.
President Thomas j. Hickey assem-
bled the American association club
owners this morning to agree upon
their stand. Cowed by the threat Of
the major leagues, the little minors did
not insist upon any concessions in the
peace terms, but voted to go back to
the former system.
The major leagues had served no
tice that peace must be effected be-
tween the big five and the little minors
by January 16 or the major minor
agreement would become a scrap of
paper and the minors would lose the
protection of Commissioner ulndis'
authority.
The only public notice the commits
sioner took of the minor meeting was
to send a list of suggestions which the
major leagues adopted at their meet
ing last month which the ~,inors
promptly adopted. The suggestions
provide, among other things, a three
year suspension for any umpire or Of
ficial caught scouting" for club in
his league, land permanent suspension
for any player, umpire or official found
betting on baseball games.
