The Target of Gold.

IF Jack Sharkey happens to whip
= Camera, September meeting be-
tween Sharkey and Max Baer woald
draw better than half million at the
gate.
But If Camera happens to paddle
Sharkey, September soiree between
Camera and Max Baer wouldn't miss d
million dollar gate by many Ira. It
should bring out the largest chunk Of
gold bullion since Tunney and Dempsey
met IN Philadelphia and Chicago.
It would be the third and final act OF
good Summer show, but 1t isn't An
act that should be allowed to cool Oh
for another year. There are rumors
around that If Sharkey wins he won't
care to face any other championship
contest until next June-and that If
Camera wins he will first clean up in
exhibitions, return to Europe, and also
wait for 1884, or later.
This would be a big mistake. since
anything can happen in years time.
and the impetus of the two early Sum-
mer shows would be lost.
No one can forecast the future until
Sharkey and Camera have decided just
where the old crown will rest.
But the winner y at least financially
lucky in having new, young challen-
ger with crowd appeal all ready to
carry the plot to dramatic conclusion.

there, have been waiting to see his
Giants hit the soapy chute and start
rolling rapidly"
But with July almost at times door
step. the Giants still are pounding along
on top of the pile, with no show OF
cracking up.
They were supposed to have weak
pitching, sour spot for several years.
In place Of this they have drawn high
class pitching all along the Spring and
Summer road, with consistent output
which was often brilliant.
They can't stay there" has been the
battle cry Of leading rivals. Maybe no

In any event, Bill Terry has turned

cleared away there was Louisiana State

This is the first time the South has

be rated one of the finest achievements
of many years.
In addition to Hardin, hurdle and

Last year, upon requests from
Pinal Co. Cotton Growers, ex-
pressed to the County Agricul-
tural Agent, a cooperative var

Cd Of planting. Seed was de-
Tinted.
Varieties included in this test
were Mebane, Atwood, Kasch,
Paris Big Boil, Stoneville IA,

Mrs. VIM. Jackson presiding.
Mrs. D. S. Davis had charge

joyed. Roll call brought out
other interesting thoughts on
the subject
A Flower Show in charge OF
Mrs. Earl Weaver was given IN
connection with this program,
many beautiful flowers were on
display. Twelve varieties oi

Mrs. Elledge. Those who had

farm BUREAU NEWS BY
THE AGRICULTURAL AGENT

Ginnlngs percentages were
determined from samples ginned
with a roller gin and these fig
ures are higher than can be OBJ
tanned from feld-run saw-ginn-
ed material. The relative rank
ing however. should not be
changed.
Entirely definite conclusions
cannot be drawn from these 1st
year results. There was ap-
parently no real difference be-
tween Kasch, Nunn's Acala,
and Paris Big Boil. Bakerfeld
Acala did not outyield Mebane
in lint cotton yet that
strain of Acala showed up de-
better than Mebane in
quality of lint. Stoneville was
definitely inferior to both Bak-
Acala and Mebane bas-
ed on yield of lint cotton.
1t appears, from the stand
point of both yield and quality
that the varieties included in
this test, Bakersfield Acala
offers the greatest possibilities
for Pinal County cotton grow
ers. This result conforms with
gained in many vari-
ETY. tests conducted in the irri-
gated valleys of southern Arlzo-
na.

COOLIDGE CUBS DEFEAT
GOODYEAR TEAM MAY 7TH

The Coolidge Cubs went to
Goodyear last Sunday for a ball
game with the team at that
place. Heavy hitting was a
feature of the game, and altho
many runs were made on both
sides, it was a very exciting
game from start to finish.
In the first half of the ninth
inning, Cunningham of Cool
idge, made a home run with
two men on bases, thus cinching
the game by score of 13 to 8
in favor of Coolidge.
Next Sunday, May IA, the
Goodyear team will play the
Cubs on the Coolidge grounds
and it is hoped that a large
crowd will be at the ball park
to root for the home team.
Coolidge seems to have two
good teams this season and
should be able to entertain the
Coolidge fans with a game every
Sunday at the home ball park.
By arranging the games, thai
one team played at home eacI
alternate Sunday while thu
other played at some othel
town, Coolidge could enjoy ;
ball game every Sunday during
the season.

Drinking Fountains Also
Are Supplied From Deep
Driven Wells.

Swimmers at the Garfield park
swimming pool are accorded one of
the greatest treats of any pool in
the world, that of swimming in
drinking water
The Garfield pool is one Of the
five municipal pools in the city,
maintained by the city recreation
department.
The large filtering plant. located
at the east end of the pool is one
Of the finest and makes a complete
change of water in the pool every
ten hours.
Driven wells. $50 feet deep. supply
all water at the park and the water
is filtered in two large pressure FL
tiers before being forced into the
pool.
The system, according to Bob
Goodwin, supervisor of swimming
for the recreation department, will
save the department approximately
$500 this year on water bills.
Water bill for The pool cost 5000
last year, according to Goodwin.
whereas water for the pool and all
drinking fountains in the park will
cost only $500 this year, that cost
being for the upkeep of the filters.
Through the system the water
from the deep wells is pumped into
the filters where it is forced through
several layers of sand, removing all
dirt and germs.
