Cards and indians Slump
After SettinsPoce. Drop
Two Games i'm q Row

NEW YORK. May (UP) =
Those elevators the st. Louis
Cardinals and the Cleveland Ind
ians have been riding operate two
ways. They are now coming down.
The Cards went to the 10th floor
before catching the down car and
the Indians didn't get the red
light until the 18th floor. With their
winning streaks snapped, the two
major league pacemakers each have
dropped two in a row.
The Brooklyn Dodgers handed the
Cardinals a defeat that hurt yes
terday. scoring two runs in the
ninth to win, 4-3. The New York
Yankees. who've been flounderine
around the west, suddenly found
their batting eyes and smacked out
Is hits to trim the Indians, 7-5.
The Cards who were being ac-
claimed as the team without a
weakness, suddenly found out their
masterful pitching isn't that at all
After having five straight pitchers
go the route and win, Manager
Billy Southworth has been forced
to use nine pitchers in the last
two games against the Braves and
Dodgers. Slovenly relief pitching
cost the Cards a game they should
have won yesterday.
FOUR PITCHERS
With a 81 lead in the eighth, the
Cards called on four pi C h e I s.
Shoun, Hutchinson, Lanier and Nc
Gee, to halt the Dodgers and could
not find the right man. Walks in
the ninth really beat st. Louis
Hutchinson walked the first man
up with st. Louis leading, 3-2. Then
Lanier came in and walked the
next man. Dixie Walker bunted
ord Lanier threw to the wrong
base, loading the bags. Pinch-hit-
ter Paul Waner lined to Terry
Moore and the Card centerfield
nailed Camilli at the plate with q
perfect strike. The Cards fifth
pitcher MCGEE, almost got out OF
ii but the next batter, Pee Wee
Reese, singled to left, breaking up
the game.
The Yanks snapped three-game
losing streak to thump the Indians
and climb from fourth to second
place. Marius Russo went the route
to score his fourth victory but was
in trouble in the ninth as result
of three singles and a wild throw
by Jerry Priddy. Joe DiMaggiC
jumped against the centerfield wall
to spear Hal TrosBy's long drive
and end the game with the tying
runs on base. Buddy Rosar and
Frenchy Bordagaray led the Yanks
attack with three hits each.
REDS BEAT GIANTS
Bucky Walters brought the Reds
out of losing streak by pitching
the worlds champs to a 10 triumph
over the Giants. Ernie Lombardi'S 6
homer was the deciding run. Wal
ters' low ball pitching enabled
shortstop Joost to set a modern
fielding record by accepting IS
chances successfully. The Reds
made four double plays. with Wal
ters at his best in the pinches. He
allowed seven hits to Hal Schu-
mcher's five.
Max Vests single in the ninth
with two out and the bases loaded
drove in two runs and gave the
Braves a 7-6 victory over the Pr

Coolidge Rifles
To Aid British
In Home Defense

A dozen rifles collected from
local sympathizers are being ship
ped to the British Government
for "home defense" this week by
r. ]. Jones.
Civilians are now being armed
in England and recognizing the
gravity of the situation. Mr.. Jones
communicated with Major Golding
military attache at the British
Council in Washington, and ar
ranged to have the rifles he sends
from here go to South Wales, Mr..
Jones birthplace, where they will
be distributed among his old
schoolmates.
Not to be forgotten In their hour
of stress by this old comrade,
separted from them by time and
distance, will mean as much to the
men who receive the rifles, as the
needed weapons themselves.
Every man who has a rifle he
would like to send to another man
to protect his home and country
may do so by communicating with

Gently given up by the Santa Fe
Railway company, to the public

Murdock sided with cattlemen
who seek return of the land to

poses and expressed his opposition
to a U. S. Indian bureau proposal
to make the land a part of the
Hualpai Indian reservation.
"While looking after the interest
of Arizona Indians in an adequate
way, my sympathies and inclina.
tions are with the private citizens
who wish to make a living by
proper treatment of our natural
resources throughout this great
state" Murdock said.
The question of disposition of
the land, part Of half-million
acres around Peach Springs in

CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Before the dawn of the goth century business
looked upon the purchaser natural prey
while shrewd buyers matched wits with the merch-
granted. Caveat Emptor could we'll have
been emblazoned above the doors of every business
house in America.
Fortunately that is not true these days. The
public has been educated to truthful advertising and
fair dealing. Seldom do we have to believe
that we have been had in the course of every day
business and if we dealing with home town
made.
But when we've made the purchase out of town.
when we have given our patronage to far away
business house how often is adjustment made? And
the reason obvious second round trip is expens
i've. The merchant is probably unknown. The personal
element which in Coolidge enjoy between one
another is missing Unreasonable delays ensue and
general feeling of suspicion grows.
There is no substitute for Trading at Home Bus
ness and Professional men of Coolidge meet the
buyer more than half way. They your friends
and your neighbors. They know your problems and
your worries. You know them and their employees
and your business dealings are far pleasant
among friends.
Caveat Emptor did not wholly pass out in 1900
but it is as dead as the Dodo in Coolidge. You
shop safely among the business houses of this city
and you do it with the certainty that errors will
be cheerfuly corrected and with the further certainty
that your business will be appreciated.

Local Ranchmen
Build Up Herds
With Live Stock

That local ranchmen intend to
build up the quality of their
herds is evidenced by the interest
taken in the Tucson livestock
show, at which w. H. Reed bought
5 head of registered bulls to put
on his range 80 miles east of here
c. E. Nichols was another buyer
who sent home a pure-bred Her
ford bull to Craze with his herd.
Other stock activity included a
shipment of approximately 2 car.
loads of Mexican steers to All
Christensen last week. They have
been sent to his ranch on Black
Mountain.
The Clemans Cattle Company
was also active, with a shipment
OF COWS and calves to sthe Cali
fornia market this week.
Prospects are good for a lively
spring market, according to Billy
Knight, district cattle inspector
who has been kept on the Jump
seeing that everything is as it
should be when stock is shipped
IN and out of the county.

road tracks just at dusk on Tues
day. A switch engine was backing
into siding at the loading corrals.
The derelict didn't see it.
He died an hour later in the
Coolidge hospital-"just another
bum, bound for potter's field" His
name was George Leverel Curtis
and the army registration card
found in his pocket gave his birth
place as Mill Creek, Kansas.
There wasn't much in his pocket
beside that, just a soiled envelope
addressed to Mr.. and Mrs. George
Curtis-stamped December 23rd.
A Christmas card had perhaps
been in that envelope, and some
where in the past there must have
been wife. A man does not
keep an empty envelope through
varied wanderings and untold dis
comforts, unless it is closely as
sociated with the one he loves.
The remainder of George Curtis
possessions consisted of bedroll
and an extra shirt. A bum? Yes
but the nurses at the Coolidge
Hospital said he was a "genltman
bum," one who (even as he lay
dying) said "please" when request

ease his pain.
