How can wrinkIed parchment be
made smooth?
Place it face down upon clean
blotting paper. Beat up to clear
froth with a few drops of Glove oil,
the whiteness of several fresh eggs
and with the fingers spread this
over the back of the sheet, rub it
in until the parchment becomes
smooth and yielding. Spread the
parchment out as smooth as pos
sible, cover with oil silk and press
for a day. Remove the silk and
cover with a linen cloth and
press with warm iron.

Has Mars any moons?

Mars has two satellites, or moons,
discovered by Hall in 1877. They
are very small and visible only
through powerful telescopes. The
inner satellite, Phobos, revolves
around the planet at a distance of
only $3.50 miles from its surface in
7 hours SO minutes, which is less
than one-third of the Marian day.
The outer satellite is called DEMOS;
its period of revolution is 80 hours Is
minutes and its distance from the
surface of Mars is 1880 miles.

FOUR TEAM BASEBALL LEAGUE
ADVOCATED FOR DOUGLAS AND
AQUA PRIETA TO BOOST GAME

John Salem, of the international
Commission company, in Aqua Prieta,
advances the thought that Douglas
should have set OF good baseball
teams this year and he is going about
advocating that four teams be formed.
His idea is that two of these teams
should be made up OF Mexicans and
two OF Americans.
Salem points out that probably
more than half Of the crack baseball
players in this district are Mexicans
SO that the getting up OF two good
Mexican teams would not be SO hard
to do. Among the Americans, Salem
says, a canvass indicates that two
teams can be formed.
His plan would be that these
teams play double headers as often
as possible and have a two period

BY CASTA RITA.

TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 1S tR-In the
first semi final game of the conSola-
ton round of the Tucson open polo
tournament the Casta Rita four of
Tucson, defeated the twenty-fifth in
fantry team of Nogales, to 1.
Though the victory was decisive,
the game was slow and uninteresting.
Both teams played a rather ragged
game and were off on their shots for
goal. &
Captain Woodruff of. Casta Rita
won individual honors, scoring four
of his teams five points. Haymore
of Casta Rita and Captain Lucas of
the losing team were the others who
appeared in the scoring. Each had
one goal to his credit.
The semi-final match, in which the
Los Alamos Tigers of Sonora, Mexico,
meet the Old Pueblo Mustangs, has
aroused international interest. The
winners of the tourney will be recog-
nized polo champions of Arizona.
The Mustang aggregation is COM
posed of army officers at the Uni

if necessary at the end OF the first
period in order to give the weak
teams chance to recuperate with
different men. Salem is against
letting the teams exchange men dur-
ing the regular run OF playing.
This man advances his plan on
the theory that this city will not
support salaried baseball players and
points to past failures to gain much
satisfaction with paid players. He
advocates small charge at the gate
for the games, the paying Of nothing
to the players and a possible split
among the players OF anything held
out over and above all expenses
at the end of the season.
Salem says that he would call this
a commercial league and ask the
merchants to assist ii with uniforms

Heeney tore out with stiff right
to Sharkey's head. Jack locked the
Anzac up and cuffed him with left

wild right, helped along with a
Heeney left hook to the body. He
bounced right up, rather sheepishly
and whaled into Heeney with both
hands pounding to the stomach.

.Heeney fought loose and stole a play
with a ramming attack to the ribs.
They were in a clinch, clubbing each

They fell into the inevitable clinch,
bruising short pokes to the head and

Feeneys chin, but ducked to cover
under Toms Furnishing short arm at
tack to the body 1t was close, unin-
teresting fighting. Heeney met Jack
coming in with a short uppercut, held
him away and they stood in the cen
ter of the ring ripping short hooks to
the head. The swap was fairly even,
until Tom bounced the Boston boy in
to the ropes with an overland right to
the ear.
Round Twelve
One arm locked they still clinched
and ripped with free hands to the
body. The referee appeared quite tired
from pulling them apart. Out in the
open Sharkey missed a wild right and
Tom looping left before they clinched
again Then Heeney opened up and
shot three driving uppercutS to
Sharkeys head Jack fell back, then
dove forward with both hands lashing
to the body. Heeney met him with a
blistering volley of stubby chops to
the chin, and Sharkey wavered while
the crowd roared the Anzac on. Heeney
was driving Sharkey about the ring
under a fierce volley at the close.

DON'T BLAME NEW YORK

DON'T BLAME NEW YORK
It may not be startling piece OF
news but C.. G. Pyle and Tim Mara
claim they have succeeded in putting
professional football across in New
York
No figures we're quoted for the
public board OF directors, but there
is no reason to suspicion the gentle
man of wI1istling out OF tough
spot because at this time last year
Mara was frank enough to admit
that his toy, the New York Giants,
caused him to go on the nose for
$60, 200 and Pyle and his boy, Red
Grange, confessed that they had been
disappointed when they counted up
the cash.
What OF it? it might be asked
What if professional football does go
over in New York; That's a big
sucker town. Any town That will pay
out more than $25O,OOO for two six
day bike races each season would
lay it on the line if there was a
fence around one OF the well known
flap Jack windows.
New York, while we never were
member of the chamber OF COM
merce, is not such a sucker town
as legend would have you believe.
That six day bike race laugh t1a5
is thrown at New York is like the
Ford funnies, the mother-in-laW
quibs and prohibition jokes which
have been barred from the big time
variety circuits.
1t is not an indication of moron
town. 1t Is the registration of real
enthusiasm on a large part of q
population that is genuinely interested
in the cycling game.
CAUSE OF POPULARITY
:It.was interesting and significant
also to read recently in the public
print of a voting contest conducted
by a Paris periodical to determine
the most popular athlete in France.
The winner was Lucien Michard, the

the closest to him but more than

New York won't fall for every
thing. Thumbs Qhave been turned
down so much on wrestling that
Mons. jacques Curley, the greatest
piano-mover magnate in the world,
had to give it up sand turn to boxing.
Wrestling, too, had principally foreign
patronage but the foreigners soured
on the sport and quit going.
Professional tennis was good enough
for only one shot and numerous trick
stunts failed to aget a rise out OF
the public.
In Drawing the act of pioneers
in trying to sell professional football
in New York, Pyle and Mara were
told that it was impossible. But
PyIe and Mara will take a shot on
anything and they are not public
benefact0rs, or celebrated philanthro-
pists.

WARNED AGAINST 1T
They were told that professional
football depended for it's life upon
star players who we're bally-hooed
off the college gridiron and that there
weren't enough star players to go
around.
They were told that the obliging
foreign element would not dig in
the pocket because if SO few natives
were familiar with what was really
happening on the field with all those
trick rules the poor foreigner wouldn't
know what it was all about.
They were told that there was too
much high class college football in
New York and within easy reaching
distance and that there were no old
grads or "two sheets of the wind
undergraduates to, go out and wl1oop
it up for the dear Old Giants or the
dear old Yanks.
The success of Pyle and Mara in
other lines of endeavor has been
based largely upon their willingness
ito bet they were not wrong. Gamblers
/ say there is a percentage in betting
the other fellow he is wrong unless
he wants to bet you that next Mon
day won't be the day after next
Sunday.
Mara, operating in 1925 as rival
of PyIe's, lost money for number
of reasons. There were conflicts In
the schedule, the weather was afro
cious and Grange was still the big
shot.
! NEVER RIVAL COLLEGIANS
| But Mara said he wasn't going to
let his dough lie in the grave ward; /;
! he was going after it with a shovel.
He. couldn't get Grange or a Fried
man or one of those other big
names, but he got himself together
lot of good players, shook hands
with Pyle and went to it.

on account of injuries. but the Yanks
drew well nevertheless. THE Giants,
with Jack Mcbride and Hinkey
Haines, developed personal follow
ing among which Mcbride and Haines
had personal roofing sections.
! "Pro football never will be rival
to the college game" Pyle said.
There's room for both of them, as
I contended about tennis. College
football games in and around New
York have turned into private affairs
for which lot OF real football
enthusiasts can't get ticket.

Each male has about II Of these

longest being about five and a half
