OFFICERS OF VALLEY
BASEBALL LEAGUE
The following officers were
elected at a meeting of the "Val
ley Baseball League" yesterday:
President.
George AW Brown of Phoenix.
.Vice-President
Paul J. Langowski of Mesa
Secretary -Treasurer
Lvle Ahhott of Phoenix
BY H. D. ROSS.
In two sessions yesterday afternoon
and evening, the baseball managers
of the Salt River Valley and the Gila
Valley succeeded in organizing a
baseball league, which will be incor- j
porated under the laws of the state j
of Arizona in rase it is found neces- j
sarv and advisable alter one more
meeting.
tleorge W Brown of Phoenix. Ari
zona, was routed out of an absorbing
tamp of billiards and made president.
Paul Lansowski, manager of the
Mesa team of the south side was I
niaue vice-president. Lyle Abbott of I
the Arizona Republican accepted the
duties of secretary-treasurer.
Representatives of the Senators and
.Maroons of Phoenix, the Jewels of
Mesa, the U-ars of Teinpe, the Casa
irande and a tentative tilendale team
were present, making six clubs pos
sible to be done into the league by
all the power and effect of the law.
Preseott approached by letter the
magnates of the south, and if possi
ble will be represented by the man
ager. H. I). McKarland. at a subse
quent meeting. Globe and Miami
were not heard from. Those who
were present were: President Brown,
Langowski of .Mesa, Castle of the
Maroons, Yates and Johnson of the
Senators, H. H. Eling of the Los i
Ange'.es Spalding Company, Lukin of
Tempe, Lloyd X". Wilcox of Casa
Grande, L. M. McKlnley, who is will-
ing to designate nis team oy ine i
name of any town in the valley will- i
ing to do something for the club. '
Dode Morris of Mesa, M. Brown of i
the Phoenix club.
Briefly, the plan of the league is
for a season of organized baseball in
the Salt River A'ailey. Also briefly,
the baseball assets of the valleys will
be dumped into a common melting

and then doled out in equal gobs all '
'round. By the assets is meant every
thing from a pair of spiked shoes to
a rooting fan, from a ball park to
an influential name for the advisory
board.
Eling's Errand
H. H. Eling, manager of the Los
Angeles house of the A. G. Spaulding
Company learned through Langowski
that a league was to meet in The
Republican office. He picked up and
put out for Phoenix. Arrived on the
ground he sought oat the managers,
aided them with his advice, mar- j
(-hailed them into the meeting, and
acted as the dynamo wiiich generated I
the current that put tilings in mo-
tion. It was on his suggestion that j
the league be broadened and stabiliz-
ed by the addition of possible other j
teams, the election of a well known
business man and baseball follower
as president, and the incorporation of
the league. Lyle Ahhott of The Re-
publican s sport staff had drawn up j
incorporation papers. These will be
reviewed by a committee composed of
Judge W L. Barnum, chairman,
President Brown, V. H. Eling, and
the secretary.
By-laws will be revised and edited
by a committee composed of Brown,
Abbott and Eling.
A schedule will be made up in a
committee composed of the four pres
ent managers, and the president.
Here are some of the things the
league proposes to do. in order to
supply tins part of Arizona with
baseball: organize tightly; stand back
of the clubs: provide the best base
ball that money and effort can sup
ply by Slaving (a) good players, (b)
good umpires, ic) good scorers;
limit players by prohibiting ringers;
stick with 'the schedule on penalty of
loss of a $,'(i cash guarantee, to be
posted by each club within three '
days.
A CORDIAL WELCOME
General Hardee, the famous Con
federate commander, was a strict
disciplinarian. One day he rode out
on picket line, and found a sentry,
a raw recruit, sitting on a rail fence
munching a piece of bacon. The
general drew his horse up- The sen
Iry sat munching unconcernedly.
"Do you know- who I am," de-
I manded General Hardee, in his sev
erest tones.
"Stranger, I 'low I don't."
"1 am General Hardee, and "
Without stopping to hear the rest,
tile raw recruit climbed down from
the f"nce, and scrambling into the
road, extended his hand, as he said:
"How air ye gineral? I'm mighty
glad to see yer lookin' so peart."

Al Melton, high handicap man, won
the St. Elmo 1S.2 balk line billiard
tournament last evening by defeat
ing Goodman in the longest, most
calculating. careful set-to of the
present series. It was a play-off of
the tie that has existed since last
week. It decided the championship
in the most interesting billiard event
that has taken place in Phoenix's
history.
There were eighty innings to the
last game. It took two hours and
thirty-two minutes of regardful pok
ing of the bits of balls over th
"grane table." while crowds looked
on, fascinated. Marcus Catton, man
ager of the St. Elmo, and the won
derful boy billiardist of this day and

The final score was Melton, lfifl, to

NEWS AND VIEWS OF SPORT
Even in that intensively cultivated
baseball town of Mesa there are fans
who would rather take a chance on
an outside team than on the Jewels.
This is shameful, but true. Why, it
was publicly stated the other day that
those handsome new uniforms of the
Mesaites would be trailed in the dust
of dire defeat by the Maroon team of
Phoenix. Everybody now knows how
the Cottonpicking sluggers whaled out
a G-to-n victory over Sundays vis
itors. There is jealousy and jealousy. One
sort of green-eyed misdemeanor is
that of the young man whose fancy
is taking the usual springtime leaps
nrwt honnrls Another is ivorse. It
is that sort of useless knocking that
results from the envy of an unsuc
,.,.tfi,l snnrtiiiir writer for one who
if not cniirelv successful, has made it)
apparent he was willing to try. There
is in a -popular" magazine, a narra
tive which deals with the name and
style of the jealous newspaper man.

WASHIXOTOX, March OH. (Spe

selves to I'ncle Sam's great forest
reserves. The Kj.'.OOn.O'lO acres of
national forests constitute a verita
ble hunters' paradise. Contrary to
popular belief, the national govern

game in this vast area. The only re
strictions are those provided in the
lavs of the several states in which
thtse forests are located.
Not only is hunting as open in the
national forests as elsewhere, but
the comfort and pleasure of hunting
parties and campers r-re largely in
creased by - the fact "that the fu'est
rangers have made and marked good
trai's and preserved camping sites
from vandalism. Transient hiintins
and camping parties do not need a
permit to enter these big hunting
grounds. For a permanent camp or
hunting lodge a special permit would
lie necessary, but it would merely
