Hall will prob ably hurl for the southsiders while both Toner and Met 'reery will be ; given a show for Phoenix, i Hert Lynn, the catcher, notified i Hester that he was on his way, but ; Hes thinks the backstop won't get here until Monday. In case he doesn't make it. John Xutt will officiate. Training camp1 scenes are beginning to be enacted at Kiverside by the i first league tossers who ever wore, i Phoenix uniforms. of course, they j have not had their new outfits yet, i bet when those white and black trimmed suits come, the Phoenicians FIFTEEN? '.i I f'i will be considerably dtidy, according to Pittman. The Spalding line has been selected throughout by the Phoenix management. The best suits obtainable will grace the man ly forms of the Senators, and Spald ing bats will Bend Spalding balls hopping over the place where every body wishes there was some green sward. That, too, is coming in time meaning the greensward. Hester is now debating on the desirability of putting in Bermuda or Kentucky blue. . ' They're for 'Em When Tom Shaughnessy approach ed the directors of the chamber of commerce yesterday and broached the subject of baseball, he was met with the usual hearty response that this institution makes to a worthy cause. l is well known that .the Phoenix team will need-a da mon, and that it is doing its darnedest to raise the needful. So President Fen nemore named a big committee, to work in conjunction with other com mittees, and he selected for it J. Tom Whitney, Dave Goldberg. John Hyder. H. Clay Parker. V. Evans, Vic Hanny, Celora M. Stoddard and W. G. Hornsberger. Globe Series Maybe Mebbeso the team will travel to Globe the latter part of next week. The mining city has made an offer for three games Friday, Saturday and Sunday. In case the team does go. it will have to hustle back in order to open with Kitty Brashear's Tucsonians on the following Tues day. Hester desires it known that the change in schedule, depriving us of a chance to witness the opener, will not interfere with the arrangements for redeeming those dollar tickets. Such tickets will be good all the first week that Phoenix plays at home which will be from Tuesday May 4 to Sunday, May !. when Tuc son comes here for some games. By that time, the park will have been rendered fit for fast baseball, the extensions on the grand stand will be completed, the club house under that new stand will have been equipped with shower baths, rubbing benches and other things dear to the heart of the athlete. 0 Boston.

The Turks were driven out of their advanced position. The British attack was then directed against the main line near the Bir jisiyeh wood. "Here," says the report, "the enemy, whose strength is estimated at 15.000, including six regular bat talions, with six guns, had occupied a series of well concealed trenches from which they were able to direct heavy rifle and machine gun fire on our advanced troops. Nevertheless our attacks drove the enemy out of the trenches at the point of the bay onet and the whole line was finally captured." Germany has promised to make in quiry into the sinking of the Dutch steamer Katwyk, which the captain and crew charge was sunk off the North Hinder lightship by a German submarine. Deny Separate Peace Rumor VIENNA, April 16. The official Fremdenblatt declares that all re ports of the alleged intention on the part of Austria to conclude separate peace with Russia are devoid of foundation. in he ON ONEHN CARS Alleging that its investment and the operation of its system in Tucson has never been a paying investment. and that its credit and resources are being taxed to the utmost to main-' tain its standard, the Tucson Rapid Transit company has filed application with the corporation commission for permission to operate cars operated by one man. The cars, the applica tion states, would be equipped with Sterling brakes, and could be run by one man, thereby reducing! the plat form cost by one half. The com mission has taken the matter under advisement. o HOSTILE AEROPLANE (Continued from Page One) temp'ing an outflanking movement. The Austrians make similar claims and disclose the fact that the Rus sians have been attacking also in southeast Poland and Western Ga licla, apparently with a view of pre venting the Austrians sending more reinforcements into the Carpathians. In the west comparative calm pre vails following the reported French victory north of Arras which would give them another point of vantage from which to launch an offensive when the chosen moment arrives. The British Indian office reports that the Indian troops have inflicted another defeat on the Turks who had gathered a large force of regulars and irregulars to oppose them in Mesopotamia. while the Russians again have been harassing Turkish commerce in the Black sea by sinking four steamers and several sailing vessels and bombarding Asia Minor coast forts. ' The report said that after clear ing the, Turks out of their positions north and west of Shaiba last Tues- jrtay the British on Wednesday enn ' Unued an offensive in the direction "Economical" ) or "Cheap" o Which is your line of thought and practice? If you think "cheap," you'll look cheap, act cheap and be cheap. The world admires the economical man, but despises the cheap man. Hanny's caters to the economical man, the man who demands full value in his clothing, the man who won't pay for reputation, unless the reputation is honestly won for value-giving. That's what has put Hart Schaffner and Marx in the foremost place as makers of good clothes for men. That's why we are proud to be their representa tive in Phoenix. jjU 40 North Central Stetson Hats Crosscut Shoes
