young negro pitcher of the
.P.B.S.W. Ramblers and the Hays
Dudettes, of the Rambler farm
team, was awarded a beautiful
trophy at Rambler Field last Sun
day night for being the outstand-
ing pitcher in the fourth annual
Copper State Tournament which
closed at Rambler Field Sunday
night.
Miss Harris, a southpaw hurler
from Tucson, Arizona, is playing
her second year with the Ramb-
lers. Possessed with one of the
best curve ball pitches ever seen
by local softball fans, Miss Harris
has been invaluable this year to
the Rambler organization. During
the early part of this season the
Hays Dudettes, the Rambler Jun
iors, scheduled an unusually tough
group of teams for this summers
play. The Ramblers needed one of
their group to pitch for the
younger girls, and to advise them
and work with them. The invita-
tions went out to the pitchers and
Billie Harris promptly accepted.
Behind her remarkable pitching
the Dudettes have had a very sue
cessful season. In winning the
Copper State Championship for
the Dudettes this year, Billie de-
feated Nancy Chisum, one of the
Al Queens pitchers. who pitched
for the ADA. Buttercups at the
tournament finals last Sunday
night.
During the tournament Billie
pitched six games, winning five
and losing only one. She pitched
a total of AZ innings allowing only
II hits for the entire tournament,
and striking out Sc batters. She
had a fielding average of 1000 for
the tournament and a batting av-
erage of $50. She was picked by

catcher of the tournament. Miss
Dryer, proclaimed by many to be
the best young catcher to come up
in Phoenix for the last 16 years,
had a fielding average of 1000
and a batting average of 400. An
other one of Billie's team mates,
shortstop Pat Rude, was awarded
another beautiful trophy for being
the leading hitter of the tourna-
ment. Miss Rude, a very capable
young shortstop, appeared at the
plate officially IA times, and got
10 base hits for a batting average

Promise Of All
Ages Subject Of
Boho'i Talk

1.-THE Promise of all Ages" was
the subject of message given
Thursday evening at the Baha'
hall, 1901 w. Solano Drive. Speak
ers were Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd
H on, 773 w. Pierson, who
moved to Phoenix from Wisconsin
last year. Both were active in
Baha'i affairs in Milwaukee, and
continue to serve the Faith in the
valley, having been appointed to
one of the national committees
concerned with the progress of the
Teachings in this country. Heaton
is at present vice-chairman of the
Phoenix Suburban Area North As
sembly, an elected administrative
body; his young wife serves as
secretary of the teaching commit
tee.
Heaton's talk centered on the
Bah, Herald of the Baha'i Faith,
who declared that there is a pat
tern of unity which, in the fullness
of time, God would make manifest.
His martyrdom in 1850 failed to
stop the influence of His Life and
teachings to seek to raise the con-
dition of humanity, Heaton stated.
Mrs. Heaton outlined the life of
Baha'u'llah, founder of the Faith,
who inaugurated the new era
promised by all past revelations,
an era which will unite all the
peoples of the world, in accordance
with the writ of the Holy Books,
she declared.
Baha'i meetings are open to all
peoples, without charge or obliga-
ton.
