transmission just enough to give the
Sox time to tumble from the top to

Here are some of the things the

to land the bunting this season. I don't
want to do any boasting, but you'd
have to hum a mighty long time with
a mk roscope to discover a better pitch

"And anybody who brings up til is
old stuff about us falling by the way

went on that world's tour or played
winter baseball lias another guess

tet Weaver, is the utiiy man who has to
play every day. only fourteen games
were played in three months over in
Europe. Russell played a little winter
ball, but not enough to do any harm.
"The winter ball pla ing my men
have done has served to keep them in
condition and certainly will not inter
fere with their staying power in the
race."
Cal cays there is a good reason for
the excellent condition of the Sox the
finest spring training weather any big
league team ever had. The Sox trained
in California and had to postpone only
three of forty scheduled exhibition
games because of bad weather.
I will not predict that James' team
will NOT do ail he says it will this
season. I leave that to the imagination
of the fans who remember what Wash
ington is in the habit of doing to the
Ohieagoans also Detroit, anil the Ath
letics arid once in a while the Browns.
Rut I will venture to say that if Jim
my's huskies will engage to train in
the Salt River valley next spring they
will not have to postpone even the
three games.

(Special to The Republican)
-MKS.V, May 4. Today is baseball
day in .Mesa again. The governor
may not be here to toss the first
ball and there may not be as many
visitors as on the day of the White
iox game but the indications are
that there will be a lot more en
thusiasm because the odds are more
even. The university and the .Mesa
teams play today. The educated
youngsters are expected to arrive
this morning after which they will
be shown the town and then this
alternoon at 3 o'clock they will be
shown the best baseball park in the
valley with a brand new scoreboard.
That scoreboard is not to be over
looked under any consideration. It
was placed there last week by
Langowski and he is as proud of it
as he was of his team after it won
the twelve-inning contest from Tem
po Sunday alternoon. Put to return
to that score board when it was be
ing erected the Mesa manager was
prevailed upon to make it for a ten
frame game and save the lumber
that would be wasted in making the
two additional frames However,
Langowski insisted that there be
twelve frames so that there would he
plcntv of room if ever it was need
ed. The first game went twelve inn
ings, and was chock full at that.
Paul Julius wears a smile that
reaches around to the back of his
head and ties in a bow knot over
that score board stunt. It's his
hobby.
The score board and the good
grounds are not all for the consider
ations for the fans who journey
atound the corner this afternoon to
see the game. The Tucson young
sters pity ball like veterans. They
have all the action of a regulation 1
team and they expect to carry home
two games. They have played two
games with the Mesa team and the
scores stand 1 to 1.
The stores will close at 2:30 o'clock
and remain closed until 4: Ma o'clock.
It is predicted that there will be-a
large crowd in attendance this af
ternoon. The basi ball feeling is in
the atmosphere and when that gets
to going it means a large crowd at
a Mesa game.
on account of the game Sunday.
Goss will not pitch until Wednes
day. McCo'.van, who is in tin-top
condition, will play on the raised
place in the center of the diamond
this afternoon.
This is the first real week-day
game played t!i!s season and much
depends upon th size of the crowd.
Joyce, ol Tcmpe, will umpire.

A GAS RECORD
OF 32.8 MILES
That Was Mark Established
by Franklin in Grand Na
tional Average on Tests
Made Las Fridav; 51.2
Was lli-i-h Water Mark.
Thirty-two and eight-tenths miles
per gallon was the national average
made by the ninety-four Franklin
six-cylinder touring cars in the
economy test last Friday. This fig
ure was given in a telegram re
ceived by George Hageman from the
Franklin home office yesterday. A
Milwaukee car rolled up the beauti
ful total of fifty-one and two-tenths
miles, while down in Georgetown,
Texas, another car of the same mod
el, was only able to grind out a
measly little seventeen miles, plus.
"They must "a had gumbo mud to
the ex in Georgetown bust Friday,
if that's all they could do," said
Hageman, but the local agent isn't
crowing much, for his car turned
out only 28.6 miles, which although
eleven miles better than 'low," was
almost four miles below the national
averagj. In taking out the magneto
esterday front the stock car used ..
in the local test, it was found to be I
improperly adjusted, which possibly ,
accounts for the comparatively low '
mileage made.
The -detailed reports on weather ,
and road conditions are looked for- j

tie over a year ago, tile world's r;-c- ;

Motorcycling To Mew York City
BY "SCOOP"
It was a weary, gaunt, dusty
Baker who rode into Phoenix some
time shortly after six o'clock hist
evening on his way from San Diego
to New ork. The bad roads between
Yuma and Agua Caliente took more
gasoline than the rider had figured
on, and he ran short three miles
the ither side of the springs. That
meant walk. Ar.d walk he did. He
pushed his machine those three aw
ful miles, filled and struck the trail
again.
