DASEBALL in Mexico will likely
come up for discussion at Na
tional Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues convention in San
Francisco this afternoon. As the
proposed league will be in the nature
of a winter circuit, the matter is
rather a ticklish one for the associa
tion as it may involve the question
as to whether the TJ. S. leagues, play
ing summer ball, can prevent the
players from going to Mexico in the
winter and playing in another organ
ization. pFFORTS are being made to get
Graham back from Douglas to
pitch for the soldiers in Thursday's
game against the Professionals at
Rio Grande park but in the event
that Graham cannot get here, Cron
icker, the sensational twirler of the
Fourth Field artillery, will make his
first start here. The artillerymen
claim that Cronicker is a far better
pitcher than Graham and point to the"
fact that he had two offers from
Texas league clubs last season.
T7ASTERN factories are showing
some interest in the "El Paso
Automobile Week" and several let
ters have been received from promi
nent manufacturers strongly endors
ing the scheme. But the best en
dorsement is the enthusiastic re
sponse of the local dealers and the
business men in general.
JOHNNY DUNDEE got another
J popular decision on Monday night,
Joe Rivers being the victim. The
Italian's dancing style makes him
look aggressive r.nd while not more
than one in four nf his blows lands,
as a rule, the fans like action in the
ring and that is one reason Dundee
is getting by so well.

Whether there will be a big 50-piece
orchestra for the Wednesday evening
concert or a band concert eer eve
ning has yet to be decided. The or

open air concert in the evening and
want to play Wednesday afternoon,
which proposition does not appeal to
the dealers. It is likelv that the or
chestra plan will be dropped and ne
gotiations opened with the Municipal

DOBBY WATJGH is reported as
likely to sign up for a bout at
Dallas in the near future. Bobby
rather dropped out of sight after his
last bout across the .nver and he
needs an aggressive manager who can
shove him to the front. The chief
part of the manager's job will be in
keeping Bobby in training but the
man who can do that will have a
meal ticket that will last for a few
years.
pOOTBALL holds the stage at Rio
Grande park this afternoon when
the Fourth Field artillery plays the
School of Mines and, on Saturday
afternoon, the "Hi" Tigers will tackle
the New Mexico Normals from Silver
City. Both games should be good
ones.

FAR HELL IN HIS
Annual Statement of Secretary of National Association
of Professional Baseball Leagues Shows That 10 Out
of 40 Leagues Failed to Start Season, and Five
of Remainder Failed to Finish.
SAN FRANCISCO. Calif, Nov. 10 ,
Many Interesting details In con
nection with the professional base
ball season of 115 which, for many
reasons, was non-productive of finan
cial benefit to those most closely Iden
tified with the national game, were In
cluded In the annual report of secre
tarj John IL Farrell which he pre
sented at the annual meeting of the
National Association of Professional
Baseball leagues here.
A resume of the business transacted
by the national association daring the
year showed that 40 minor league or
ganizations, embracing :2 cities and
towns in the United States and Canada
qualified for membership in 1914 as
compared with 41 leagues representing
300 towns and cities In lil 'len ot
these leagues did not begin the sea
son of 1915 and five of the 10 which
started failed to complete their sea
son's schedules. One of these was dis
qualified and the other four dropped
out. their failure to continue being at
tributed mainly to the unusually ad
verse weather conditions which pre
vailed. In one league 105 games were
postponed on account of rain in a four
montns playing season.
1003 Player Itelraxrd.
Five thousand four hundred and
seventy-two players" contracts were re
ceived, recorded and promulgated by
the association during the year. One
thousand and three players were re
leased by purchase out of 2840 reporte 1
to the office of the association for re
lease Ninety-one optional agreements
were approved between national asso
ciation clubs and 38 optional agree
ments were exercised by national asso
ciation clubs. Six hundred and s vnty
plaers were reported for suspension
and 236 were reported for reinstate
ment Seven drafted players were
claimed under the waiver rule and 73$
disputed cases were adjusted by the
association during the year Seven
teen players were drafted by the Na
tional league a" ' -Imilar number by
the American league.
Out of J72,8um t ived by the asso
ciation for drafted players, the Ameri
can league contributed $23,400 and the
National league $:i,950. In all 3129.
SS7 passed through the office of the
national association during the current
year for drafted players, optional
agreement plajers and others released
by purchase

Let Us Explain Our
Pay -as -You-Ride Plan
YOU seldom buy real estate for cash. You take
time to complete the purchase. It gives you a much
better chance to finance your affairs.
We want to sell you an automobile on the same
basis. We want you to own your own car and pay
for it while you use it out of your monthly income.
This "Pay-as-You-Ride" Policy
gives you the benefits of an automobile
for business;
permits you to enjoy an automobile or
pleasure;
ends the necessity of sacrificing your
savings;
extends to you the privilege of complet
ing your actual investment AFTER YOU
PURCHASE in payments to suit your
income.
"Pay-as-You-Ride" in a Maxwell

Cronicker is the star fHnger of the

Texas City made him desirable In the
ees of Texas league scouts. He has
so far refused all offers, but will buy
his release from the army and turn
professional in the spring.
It is probable that Cliff Hill will
work the first half of the game for
the professionals, with "Lefty" Lewis

is also likely to be held in reserve. ,
