This is the wager which Smith and Tremaine executed duly before the sport editor of The Arizona Republican. The terms of this bet are such that Smith will have to drive his car to Globe, a distance of 110 miles and still use only 54 gallons of petrol, before he wins his money and clothes. If. when the checker unseals the gas tank in Globe Sunday evening, he finds him self able to put in more than 5Vi gal lons of fire-water, Wild Bill gets the money unj the clothes, fine automo bilist out of the several in Phoenix, therefore be seen on the streets in a bran new top-to-toe outfit and fiftv g(10(, jron mf.n to spend. The car Smith will drive is that old I Cadillac which earired a part of Dr. 1 Iledewill's band to the Grand Canyon and back, last summer. The machine then belonged to MeArthur of the Phoenix Garage, and he contributed it eeoeo .tuu luiiinvffl uie rounn 01 j ne United States. No one who rode in that car 'that '. trip, or who has heard tell of the an 1 ties it played then, could help but bet . the same way Bill Tremaine is betting. But the "master" hand of Jack Smith has been twisting bolts and screws on i the old carcass, and now it seems in I pretty good shape. Tremaine goes in I a Maxwell. He solemnly swears that j if Smith wins his bet, he will hence j forth eouip all Maxwells with Master j carburetors. Smith has never tried ; measuring his gas. and he is going j only on his knewledge of the perform i anees of the carburetor. It is a good '. s'im but sporting chance that Mr. , Smith is taking. j Leaving The Republican office early i in the forenoon. Smith will take with I him a sealed tank, that has just been ! filled to the brim with easoline. -A ren- ' resentative (,f Tne P-pmiblican will ( make the ride and will carefullv i measure the amount of gasoline pos sible to be poured into the tank when it is first unsealed in a Globe garage.

UNIQUE WAGER OF' MDTQRISTS Mile of Well Groomed Earth Lying Northwest of City iii State Fair Grounds is'" Secured for One Century Motorbike Race There is a strip of well groomed adobe dirt about a mile from the mid dle of Phoenix, which was officially in spected by the racing committee f the Phoenix Motorcycle Club as a place on I which to mill off a one hundred mile ! ehugbike race Sunday afternoon, March 29. So far as the committee now knows, that oval shuVed stretch of ground is perfectly well suited for the needs of the dozen dare devils who will compete with each other and fast mo torcycles in an effort to go the distance in less time than it has yet been of ficially covered. Reference is made to what they call the State Fair Track, that oval mile of expensive dirt, which is claimed by many to be the fastest course of its kind in the 1'nited States. Superintendent John Akin of the Fair Grounds rode th course with Chief Motorcycle Mogul Erwin G.. Baker, pointed out the scar made by Charles Gardiner when he spilled the other day, and after completing the round, de clared that he would do such and so to assure the track's efficiency for the use the riders desire to put it to, a week from nox( Sunday. Baker a'so expressed satisfnetinn at the condition of the track, and then the two engaged in a conversation in which the words 'draw', 'cushion' and bank' cropped out. It seems that Akin, with his usual care of the track, has pulled the cov ering of slightly loosened earth from the surface, changing it from a hoof track to a tire track, and that this is P1IES MEET First (lame Under Management of ' Park Will lie i i. 1 1 1 alll Staged timi'Liv T U MchTinW is New Haseball Booster The first game to be staged under the management of M.

The entire hill is very good and the musical end of the performance was especial ly favorable. The Manning Trio I were as entertaining as usual in sev eral pretty selections, to which num erous encores were demanded. The bill will continue throughout the week, and from the standard of the playlet, one .may easily guess that business will be capacity. Coliseum The Nashville Students continue to pack this emporium nightly, and well do they deserve the favor which they have won. The little company takes the place of an entire vaude ville program, and offer a most varied line of entertainment from minstrel first part to finished novelty work, in the shape of aif "olio" con sisting of three acts. Their musi cal renditions are particularly well handled and the act as; a whole is of a refreshing nature the equal of which is seldom seen.

Several names were handed in for the play after the first show last night, and it is expected that a title will be chosen for it during the four days it is to be seen here. The play was so well thought of by those who saw it for the first time that Mr. Fields will add it to his repertoire and it will be one of the first presented when the com pany moves to Denver for the sum mer. Hart's Wigwam The Pathe Weekly showing at the Wigwam contains many pleasing features among which the views of Billy Sunday, the former baseball player, now evangelist, was exceed ingly popular. The two part Essanay, "The Grip of Circum stances," an exceedingly good pic ture. Saturday's pictures promise much in the way of high grade at tractions. Among the coming good things Hart Brothers have arranged for the "All Star" features among the best films ever made. The Regale All that was promised for the ex ceptional "101" Bison two reel of fering, "The War of the Cattle Range." given its first run at the Regale theater, 210-212 East Wash ington Street, yesterday and to be I continued today, was ' more than realized in the actual production. It pleased record-breaking crowds at the popular moving picture house yesterday. Coupled with this fea ture in which William Clifford and Phyllis Gordon win additional laurels, is a strong Frontier drama, "The Eyes of the God of Friendship," in Which is told a story in pictures that holds the attention from start to finish. Those who see the comedy offering, "That Chinese Laundry," an Imp. only regret that it does not take two films to present the funny situations. It is a most excellent bill. Lion Theater The feature of the program for Friday and Saturday is a two-reel western drama by the Broncho com pany entitled. "Conscience." a mas terful story of a criminal's reforma tion. The rugged scenery and pleas ing photography contribute greatly to making this a feature in every re spect, and the story itself conveys a strong moral. Another novel feature of the bill is a Reliance offering en titled, "Daybreak," remarkable from the fact that but one person appears SATURDAY in it. It is really a film monologue and a decided novelty. The situa tion pique the interest because of a I certain enigmatic character which makes the observer wonder what is coming next. The comedy end of the entertainment is handled by the Beauty Film Company in a breezy little farce entitled, "Fooling Uncle" and featuring the beautiful Margerite Fisher "in her favorite role of co- I medienne par excellence. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Taking into consideration the fact j that Burk's big "Uncle Tom's Ca i bin" is coming tonight, the following I bit of history relative to the most I successful drama ever known to the world will no doubt prove interesting to many. Edward Skidmore, a pro minent New York journalist, saw the first production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" more than fifty years ago. When the great work of Harriett Beecher Stowe was dramatized and first produced on the stage of the Old Gotham theater in New York City. Mr. Skidmore was at that time a reporter on the old New York Evening Post. Having an ac quaintance with the manager of the theater, he was invited to an even ing performance. He was so favor ably impressed with many of the scenes of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." par ticularly with the illness and death of Eva, when scores of the audience shed tears, that he induced William Cullen Bryant, the editor of the Eve ning Post, to attend the performance. Mr. Bryant, the next day, wrote and published a friendly notice and re commended the play to the religious community. This started "Uncle Tom's Cabin" on the road to popu larity, and to this day it is safe to say it is the drama that attracts Christian people to the theater. Among its most devoted patrons are the church people, impressed by the iellgious features, who could not be induced under any circumstances to attend other theatrical performances. The Lamara Three corking Edison films and an equally good Pathe play, comprise the program for the Lamara "The Theater Comfortable", today. The Edison pic ture feature is "The Witness To The Will", which is a fascinating drama in two films. This is followed by Pathe's "Whom God Hath Joined" a western story and "Othello In Jonesville" a stunning comedy. They are all worth while. BaseballGoods PINNEY & ROBINSON 17 South Center
