Profiles of members of Phoenix team. REALLY GOOD.
Also brief profiles of Nogales players. Team was organized a few weeks behind the others. Financial contributions came from Nogales and Sonora. "Nogales has never had a losing team because the fans have supported baseball too loyally to permit such a condition to exist. There are 20,000 or more people in Nogales from whom the Internationals draw their support. The Spanish speaking part of the population of the two cities of the border are baseball fans of the most enthusiastic type."
Fred "Hook" Jackson is "originator of 'tequila ball,' which starts well, gets dizzy and wobbles home."
1925-8-18 Mickey Shader received a blackhand letter telling him to get out of town for his dirty baseball. Must've been a joke or a nut; Shader plays immaculate ball. He recently won his fifth shutout, incidentally.
