SiBVKR CITY, N. M . Sept. 6—The
“work or fight" order has not worried
the Copper league, for the players of
the Copper circuit are workers in the
sense that has the war department’s
approval. They work in the mines of
southwestern New Mexico when they
are not playing.
The high wages offered by the min
ing camps has been an attraction to
professional players, and as the min
ing companies have been liberal in
their support of the game, quite a
number of former stars of better
k*rw*tlsi>l»ag#M< have been drawn to
the copper belt The league includes
Tyrone. Hurley, Santa Rita and Fort
Bayard. The latter has a soldier
team.
Tyrone, which is leading the others,
has in its club Fred Carrlsch. formerly
of the Pittsburgh Nationals; H O.
Bayless, formerly of the Cincinnati
Nationals; Paul Meloan, formerly of
the Detroit Americans. A recent ad
dition to this club is “Bill" Pertica,
who formerly was a member of the
