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." j Congregationalist i ! - ALL WRONG. TAFT REFUSES TO SELL CINCINNATI. March 16. -Charles P.

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.

(Spe cial) Ximrods who bemoan the dis appearance of game should hie them 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 ment throws" no restrictions about 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 establish the prior and exclusive right of the individual to occupy a specific,) site; it would not grant him the exclusive right to hunt and fUh pgr The Individuality And Charm of Front-Laced Corsets Should make a personal ap peal to every woman who seeks these very features in her spring corset.
