TEMPE, April 26. With the strongest line-up of (Tie season Abe t Lukiri Is today journeying to Fhoe nix with his baseball nine to take the Red Socks to the capitol city to a good clean trimming. Abe Is con fident of victory and says it is only a matter of the score now, whether he will run it up big or let the Phoenix nine off easy. He is adding some new material to his line up that will make the public sit up and take notice. Their names he will announce later but it Is enough that they can play ball and that some fast. Abe claims to have the best pitcher in the state in the person of Fred Nettle. Nettle can surely twirl the pill and has some smoke. Lukin disagrees with The Republican in its article giving Harris of Globe credit as the best pitcher in Arizona. Harris struck out nineteen men and allowed only two hits, but Nettle went one better. He struck out nine teen men and allowed no hits during the entire game. Lukin says he will show the other teams of the league what it means to have a good twirl cr in the line up. Cattle Ready Castle anounces that his Red Sox are ready to dispute this nanny ac quiring business of Abe Lukin's. He has a Boston outfield, a Philadelphia I infield, and some pitchers who have been so good that they can't be classed by any ordinary standards. "Kern" Warren is playing second base for the Sox this day. Warren is from the Senators of last season, the High school and al the amateur teams of the city. He is hitting well, and is there with the pick up and shoot stuff. Smoke Smiley will pitch. Catcher, Hogan; pitchers. Smiley, Foster; 1st base, Ed Scott; 2nd base, Warren; shortstop, Gabe; 3rd base.

Baker (By Saliie Jacobs) It's too bad to hurt yourfeclings my dears but you're not good sports. You are not educated up to the racing game as they are back east. When Mr. Speed-Demon Baker told me how lack ing we were in appreciation I felt so dreadfully about it that he tactfully tried to shift the blame to the men who he said wouldn't hang together or work in harmony. I had only heard politicians spoken of in that manner and was surprised to hear that cyclists and other people were not always con genial and held different viewpoints. This great cyclist says the game needs working up here in phoenix'and since there's no school of cycling in Arizona, I suppose we'll all have to take a course by mail. Imagine it will take a long time to complete the study for though Mr. Speed-Demon Baker has an M. A. degree he didn't teach me very much in one hour's conversation. Quite confidentially I don't mind telling you, I did not want to meet him but Dolly was insistent and has a way about making one do things. It seemed such a stupendous task to try to talk to a man who has won seven national medals and sixty-eight tro phies when you don't even know why is a motorcycle? It was most embarrassing I'm sure Mr. Speed-Demon Baker understood my shyness and to put me at my ease began to tell me something about hlm Belf. Wasn't it lovely and kind of him to overlook my stupidity and diffidence for I had only stammered. "You-er-er" when he took his cue and continued for the remainder of the BaseballGoods pnnruY t bobinsou 17 South Center IE WAS BUI It FUN COMPETITION There Was Not So Much Baseball as Circus at Grant Park in Prac tice Game Yesterday A report from the south part of town said that there was a baseball game at Grant park yesterday, between tho Indian School and the Senators. On the testimony of the baseball report er, The Republican wishes to deny the rumor officially, without reserve. There was, however, a pretty vaude ville, in which tumbling, juggling, clowning, and other circus-like stunts were pulled off. There were flashes of real baseball, especially while the Indians were ahead between the first and the fifth innings, and the Solons were pulling along trying to even it up. Short stop Brown made a couple of really I wonderful stops and throws, only to nave some misguiueu, im&picn:ru skuu at the other end spoil a perfectly good put out. Vukku, the Indian third baseman, is a real ball player. In amateur ball, they do not field much better than he does. From a strictly baseball standpoint, Barrett, the Phoenix pitcher, was rotten; really, he was only economi cal. He is to open the firing on the Jewels this afternoon at Mesa. Arres, the boy wonder of the In dian School was good, but not steady enough. He will certainly develop, that young Brave. He already has the head, and only needs control and speed. His bends are snappy and square. Score by Innings Indians Runs 1 1 H 0 0 0 0 (i 0 5 Hits t 10311000 0 6 Phoenix Runs 21060311 x 14 Hits 110 5 0 3 4 2 x 16 Of errors, let the scribe speak not. Barrett and Brown pitched and Jen kins caught for Phoenix, Arres and Austin were the Indian battery. o PHOENIX PHAN WILL GO 10 SEE MESH GAME The Phoenix Phan returned. He rtmarked on his arrival that Phoenix looks much as it used to do, but that it hadn't acquired that baseball pol ish that Chicago posesses. For, be it known, the Phan has been away in the east for all of a month. The first thing the Phan did was to look up the Sport Editor and in quire where the next baseball game was to be played. "Mesa is going to play Phoenix over there, and Tempe is coming I here to play the Red Sox at Grant park, tomorrow in the afternoon re- plied he of the sport desk. "What's the fare to Mesa," in quired the Phoenix Phan, and the sport editor didn't know. , "Well, I'm going anyway, even if it costs me all of twenty-five cents. I have been reading your bum stuff about Barret and the rest of the thin gray line of heroes. And I want to know what makes you write that way. So I am going over there to see what this guy's got. If he is as good as you said he is, he ought to put the Jewels on the trail to the bench in one, two, three order, after their disastrous trip to Globe." afternoon "I-I-l". He is so magnificently sure of him self that it is not at all surprising that he is never nervous in a race. He doesn't carry a rabbit's foot but he wouldn't tell about his good luck charm and for such a nice young man I think his sentiment about this is selfish but he says "It loses its value if you tell. If you've got anything good keep it," whatever it is, it is serving its purpose for he has never had a "spill". That means "flop" he said and then I thought I'd better not question him about the word because he may have been trying to avoid explanations. He has been in more races than any man. he says, over six hundred and won more than half of them. He's taken part in all the biggest events staged in America and Canada and these record and endurance contests have made him quite a hero. When he takes long trips his motorcycle looks like a flying suit case with its labels of the different cities and when he stops, crowds con gregate and cheer him. Oh it must be lovely to be lionized: And how grati fying- to the people who do the lioniz ing for Mr. Speed-Demon Baker does not affect boredom like many of our celebrities but likes it in a delightfully modest way. Once he took a tremendously long trip. I've forgotten just where, but he had to cross the ocean. I asked him if he went on his motorcycle and he seemed quite disturbed for the moment, but when he recovered be said "no" because his machine didn't have cork tires. Now isn't that a snlendid idea? I hope he invents those tires, it seems like an awfully good thing to me. and not any more improbable than Oh well, telephones and wireless snd tango. At any rate, we will hear of Mr. Speed-Demon Baker again. He is determined to break the twenty-day, nine hour, one minute record from San Diego to New Tork which will make him very famous though I think he'd prefer to ship his motorcycle and go on the Limited. FOR TEST Ilageman Practices for National Gas Conserva tion Trial to Be Held Simultaneously in Many Cities on May 1 (BY SCOOP) Now we are going to push on the slashboard and make ourselves just as light as feathers to help George Hageman win some of that fame for long distance gallon gas consumption Friday. You see, it is Franklin trial day all over the United States, when 175 dealers will put cars on the roads, each with one gallon of gas in the fuel tank and one determined but light handed driver in the seat. Mr. Cate and I will go along with Herbert Welles to see that he drives juit as many miles as his speed ometer says, and that he gets all the drive out of every atom of gaso: line in his tank. Before the start, City Sealer of Weiehts and Measures Joseph P. Kehoe will place one of his care- j fully measured gallons of medium test gasoline in a small auxilliary tank to be fixed to one of the lamp brackets and connected with the car buretor. The start will be made Fri day morning from in front of The Republican office and the ear will run around a roughly circular course of about thirty miles and return to its starting point. The speedometer will be checked with the mileage. When the car gives a. tu bercular wheeze and stops, it means that the end of that gallon of gas has been reached and it is time to get ,out and get under. The grand national average is a thing which the dealers are going to cuddle pretty carefully. Woe to him whose test fails to keep that percentage high! It is expected that the average will reach 30 miles an hour, or even more, for preliminary trials have borne out the prediction of the central office on this point. Hageman had several tests made last week, convincing Tiim that he can make around thirty miles, and in the course of the next four days, he ex pects to boost the total somewhat. o STANDING OF THE CLUBS National League Clubs W.
