page two; THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1914 YOUTHFUL SPEEDSTER Mil men io escape Conrad Perez Loses Control , of East Machine Which I Leaves Him to Roll into Fence Not Seriously Injured RACE PRACTICES GROW EXCITING Thrills in Every Turn Jealousy of Riders Al ready Evident Means I lot Competition in Sun day Race Conrad Perez, would be soeed-king from the sunny south, took what will probably be his last turn on the mile track in practice yesterday afternoon. Coming into the grandstand straight away, his handlebars loosened, so he claims, and in trying to keep the mo torcycle pointed in the general direction of the clear, he lost it. Or it lost, him. Both nearly lost their lives. But mir acle of all motorcycle miracles! Neither was seriously injured. Not a fleck of the bright new red paint was forced from the machine. But quite a few square inches of bright red raw flesh were exposed on Perez, who counts up bruises and skinned places to the num ber of two dozen now, the aggregate from two spills. Conrad was to have ridden a ma chine in the 100-mile race here Sun day, but after he had stripped his mount and tuned it. it was turned over to Ellie Wilson, a local boy, who will Rive a good account of himself when the race is on. Daily practices are growing more and more thrilling. If the press agent of the Campbell United Shows hasn't used all the adjectives describing the feats of the Fearless Greggs in their autos that pass in the air, some of those use ful parts of speech might be sprung on a suffering public here to describe the fearsome details of motorcycle racing. Suffice it to say that when old stagers can stand on the stretch and watch each other do the mile in perilous fashion, and say, "Gee. That guy'll just hafta go into the fence if he keeps this up," the speed is bordering on the reckless. The anvil chorus was developed to a high degree of mis-harmony last evening who Boido, Wilson. Gardiner, Crandall and others ventured forth to burn up the dust. This is a good sign. When riders start to knock each other In the reputation, then things are sure ly warming up for a hot competition. Said one former star, "I don't believe that we will see this hundred miles done in under 100 minutes. Baker will burn himself up and none of the rest of the riders dare hold the pace." Be ing a rider of some note, himself, his admission that the track was good for Their enormous output which we understand is as large as the com bined output of the four clothing firms ranking next in quality, is the chief reason why Hart Schaffner and Marx are able to offer such unequalled clothing values. All we ask is compari son. The classy spring togs at $25 are "right there."

Jim Barker j and Bob Evans are the owners of the device, which will be used to j clock the kiddoes around the track Sunday. There are other electrical timers, but only one which starts like this one. A tiny switch on the j pistol that will be carried by Start- er Lorenzo Boido, actuates the me- chanism at the exact moment of I the discharge, starting the chrono- meters and the type which registers ! the passing of the machines. A wire j stretched across the track-will re- ceive a slight impulse each time a wheel crosses it, and these impuls- ) I es are carried electrically to the I registering machine. I A a ninety minute race, counts for some thing, though he would hate to find himself quoted to that effect in a story boosting the race. Erwin G.

Not that he will go so fast that the eye cannot gather his image, but because he will silently steal forth , when nobodv is looking. Nobody is going to keep time on my, practice," he said.

SUNDAY BASEBALL Southside Team Plays Holland House Bunch at Eastlake Park Sunday C. B. Russell, manager of a team of 1 semi-professional unattached ball 1 players going under the name of the Holland House, has announced a game with the Southside Senators Sunday. These Senators must not be confused with Frank Baum's team of Senators who play Mesa at Grant Park the same day. Russell believes he has a very fast team, and wishes to enter a sweeping challenge to all teams in the valley. He is on the lookout for a new pitcher. Captain Tommy Leach will find plenty to do in keeping the Cubs, in cluding the great Zinn, in line. Hart Schaffner & Marx sox mi LETTER SAYS Mesa Prepares to Handle Immense Crowd When Jewels Meet the Chicago Americans Tuesday No Ticket Scalping (Special to The Republican.) MESA. March 26. "After thirty I days of training in the warm climate of Southern California the regular White Sox team will be in Mesa, March 31st, to take part in the exhi bition game. They will be in prime condition and going at top speed." Such was the encouraging letter re ceived yesterday morning by Man ager Langowski from Dannie Long who is traveling with the White Sox. And while the White Sox are making preparations to stop off one day in Arizona for a practice game tile Mesa manager anil in fact practical ly every fan in the Gem city is do ing about everything possible to make of the day one grand success. Not only are the younger fans working over time but the business men, the I older heads are now taking an in- I terest and a move is on foot to meet I ' the players at the train and enter tain them with an automobile ride over the Mesa, section. There are a number of details to be worked out in connection with the entertainment of the distinguished guests in the athletic world and they will be roy ally entertained if hard work and a desire to make the event a success counts for anything. The price of admission has been fixed at seventy-five cents at the leate This included seats in the grandstand or ti,e extra seats pro vided. Seats will be placed for lbou i neonle and arrangements made to secure enough additional benches to make the total accommodations 2000 if necessary. It is the desire of Manager Langowski that every-one know seventy-five cents is to be the nas 1)ppn importuned in several in stances to raise the price to a dollar or to a dollar and a half but all they are going to do is to try and have a good day of sport and to break even on the gate receipts. While the organization is taking some chances still they are equipped with the kind of nerve that wins. The graders were put to work on the grounds yesterday and by Tues day morning' it is expected they will have the lot in as near perfect con dition as it is possible to put it. It will be in fine shape for the first game to be played by the new league organization Sunday. The ticket window on the day of the game will open at 12:30. It is understood that the Sox will appear upon the ground about 1 o'clock for their regular practice. o MESA TEAM ROSIER IN HANDS OF THE LEAGUE J. Langowski Cuts His Signed Players Down to Fourteen With One More Coming In accordance with the by-laws of the Central Arizona Baseball League, the Mesa manager, Paul J. Langowski, has submitted to the president, G. W. Brown of this city, names of the fourteen players with whom he intends to start the sea son. He is allowed one more regular will be ready for listing within a short time. Mesa's chances of winning the ; league pennant and the handsome silver trophy medals donated by the A. G. Spaulding Company will there fore be in the hands of the follow ing: Morris. Goodman. Campbell, Bond. Core. Williams. Mitchell. Halvorsen. Holland. Pomeroy. ifhumway. A. Jones. MeKenzie. Other teams in the league will be compelled to turn in lists today, as the laws provide a complete roster must le in the hands of the secre tary several days before the first game. The games Sunday are regu lar league games, and therefore make it necessary for the club man agers to get busy doing their selec tion. SUFFRAGE AGAIN WINS f ASSOCIATED PRKSS DISPATCH . BOSTON', March 26. Woman suf frage won a victory today when the J house concurred with the senate in adopting a resolution proposing a (constitutional amendment to strike I out the word "male" in describing the qualifications of a voter. The vote was 168 to 39 on a resolution al ready acted upon favorably by the senate, providing the amendment of ' the constitution by striking out the : word "male" from the qualifications for voters. The suffragists hailed the I action as a victory. NEWS AND VIEWS OF SPORT While we are, having our league opening over her, the Coast Leaguers will be preparing to start the 1914 season. The league starts witn f on land at Sacramento, Venice at San Francisco and Oakland at Los Ange les on Tuesday, March 31. The sea son runs until the week of October 20-25, making the longest season again. Baseball in the Pacific Coast League was so erratically rotten last season that there is no telling who is going to win the pennant. When we asked several well known fans about it, they answered "Portland," saying that told the future history of the race in one word. Naturally their dope was mixed with a strong tincture of past records. Portland has had a happy factulty of copping the bunting which Hen Berry looks at with longing eyes each year, so of course the wise acres pick the past champions to repeat this season. When the occise cat was asked to venture an opinion, the reply came back immediately, "Venice." Just why our feline friend picked the Hapless Hogang is a mystery. Prob- RUDDER! WINS SUIT AT BAUM'S ny Patrons Greet Frank Baum His New Quarters Rudde row Busts for 36 Wins Raiment Ben L. Rudderow, who is just ordinary sort of a fellow and an no shark at all, won a twenty-five dol lar suit of clothes last night by eclip sing thirty-six spots on the first bust in the opening play of Frank Baum's pool room. The prize was offered to the man who could do the best on a first break with one of the new cues on one of the new tables. Ben's lucky slam w;us easily the best, and the or der for the suit was given him on the spot. Frank Baum. proprietor of the new pool hall, is one of the most popular sporting men of the town. lie is manager of the Phoenix basebail team, which plays Mesa Sunday. The new shop is just two doors removed from the old one on West Washing ton street. A big croud attended the opening, flocking around to greet the manager and to play a game or two on the new tables. The new quarters are quite cosy. There is implc room for eight large tables in the main room, with a completely equipped cigar stand in front. o HERB HALL LWD6 WITH MILWAUKEE'S BREWERS Herb Hill is sticking with Milwau kee in the American Association, ac cording to a letter received by Leggy Barton lrom the former Phoenix twirler. The big burler lias already so de veloped that smoke he showed in Phoenix that his trainer has laid him off except three days a week. But the best joke of all is that the self same trainer has cautioned the rookie to avoid rooking at himself in pi int. This is probably to reduce the size of Hall's head, and is probably also a very good measure. r perhaps it is to keep him from getting discour aged. J. O. Murray, the American associ ation umpire who worked in Phoenix last summer and fall is advising the Arizonan. He tells him to keep at it and may be he can get somewhere. Horace B. GriiTen, who left th other day for the training camp of the Minneapolis team, will be tried out as an outfielder, and if he makes good there will be transferred to the first, sack for a second tryout. Hall and Griffen, who opposed each other here, will again clash in the association. Both are good men and with a little experience and training will rank well with the baseball birds wno have flown out of Arizon:.. ANOTHER BIG CROWD Responses to Invitation of Evangelist Show Great Interest In view of the fact that it is known the meeting at the Skating Ring being held by the united effort of all the evangelical churches is to close with Sunday night's service, the interest is not abating to any noticeable extent. In fact the feeling last night was such as to make many wish the end were not so near. Last night the chorus choir loft was filled and the singing exceeded almost any service yet. The response to the proposition of the evangelist was excellent, nearly fifty men and women taking places at the altar rail for the after service. The text, for the evening was "Thou fool this day thy soul shall be required of thee" and the sermon dwelt upon the hazardousness of 'taking no thought of the morrow". It made a profound impression. The Idea that all of life is "to eat, drink and be merry for to morrow we die" was dealt with in a singularly dramatic manner by Mr. Brown. - After the service, the choir practiced for the Sunday music, as Sunday will be one of the greatest days of the en tire meeting as it will be the closing day. An all day campaign will be the result. Today's service include a meeting in the afternoon and the regular service at night, M-hile tomorrow's meetings will be equally as interesting as those of today. Saturday night's subject will li Christian Science. , j . 3 ably because they are one of the scrappiest bunch of minor league ball maulers in the country and are led to the slaughter each season by a man who never says die. tiogan is one of the best losers in organ ized baseball, and that should spell something to the average fan. When a man. after defeat, begins preparing for the future, rather than cussing out the past, it is a pretty good bet that he will bo up in the running at some future date. So Dode Morris is going to bo the ketcher for the Jewels when the White Sox appear there Tuesday, lira! Not that we would cast any reflections on the work of the stout Mesaite, who is the idol of south side fans, do we let slip that little dubious exclamation. Like most everybody else, we'd like to see him make good. But for the league's sake, we dread to see Morris work under the eyes of experts, scouts and big leaguers. In the universal howl to have him in the receiving end of Mesa's Tuesday battery, there has been no hint of Dode's possible going up. Plans Perfected for (Jreat Evening at Home of Mrs. Yabel on North Seventh Avenue Waterloo Pipes Will Be Played "The Scots Who' ha" ' are going to have a great time tonight. The offi cial organization of Scotchmen known as the Caledonian Society, has made all the necessary arrangements for a grand blowout and re-union of natives and their sons at the Yaple Ranch just south of the Grand canal on Seventh Street. Mrs. J. M. Yaple having invited the entire society to come to her home and enjoy themselves for the 'nicht. In accordance with this then, all Caledonians will meet at the Labor Temple tonight close to the good hour of seven o'clock, and there will board themselves upon automobiles which will be furnished by the society or by the members who have machines of which there are a goodly number and after a ride around the town the mo torcade will proceed to the ranch for the evening. This, however, is but half the story. Tile famous Waterloo bagpipes of the Highlander Monro, will be taken along and played around the town. These pipes are famous for the fact that they were played to cheer the Highland Bri gade to victory at Waterloo, nearly one hundred years ago. To make the evening more essential ly Scotch a 'Lassie' will dance the 'Highland Fling' in the national cos tume. The evening promises to be a success largely because it is a novelty. The program committee requests all mem bers of the organization that have au tomobiles to have them at the Labor Temple in time to take part both in the ride around town and the trip to the ranch. All Scots and those of Scotch descent are invited to attend. o WORKING TO PREVENT INCREASE OF DISEASES A propaganda is now being con ducted by the leading insurance com panies against certain sorts of dis eases that can be easily detected by physical examination in time to pre Aont their continuation and in time probably to effect a cure. This in volves certain additional medical ex aminations at Intervals, and it is proposed to have these made for pol icy holders without expense to them, as a part of the service rendered the policy holder by the company. Paul S. Kantz, the local representative of the Equitable company, recently re ceived notice that his company had inaugurated the policy, which is called "Health Service." Investiga tion has proven that in the past few years tuberculosis, so generally feared, has been decreasing before the onslaughts of knowledge and sanitary methods, but other diseases, such as those of the kidneys, are in creasing. It is to accomplish toward this class of ailment what has been in fighting tuberculosis that the ser vice has been inaugurated. Hire a little salesman at The Re publican orfice.

School officials have found it nec essary to segregate the various class es of Mexicans, according to their knowledge of English. Some of them are unable to understand a word of English. It has been leirned that the little Mexicans stubbornly refuse to accept the English tongue, once they learn that their teachers understand Span ish. Therefore the dramatization system of teaching has been adopted and teachers are strictly warned that they must not use a word of Spanish in the presence of the children.
