Aug. 9. Mesa and the Harden Mill team did two sessions of i-rrorful ball here today, in which the visitors lost the first one on nine bungles and the locals dropped the second by virtue of their seven. Both scores were big, for there was a plentiful of hitting on both sides. The Jewels are now even, having won and lost to the llayden Mill, and lost to the llayden Ray Cons. Tomorrow the- visitors leave for Ray, playing one game and Tuesday they play the Hay ilenites again. MORNING GAME Mesa A.B. R. H. P.O.A.E.

Corhett, That Splendid Fighting Ma chine, in Reminiscence Appears Greatest of Them All A Little History When the world sat up and took notice of the fact that a great fight ing idol had been dashed from his pedestal, and a younger m:in had come to rule, it asked almost to a man, who is Jim Corbett? It was the day following the Sul-livan-Corbott fight in New Orleans. The question fell from the lips of hundreds who had never heard of the ex-bank clerk, springing into fame in a single night. All they knew was he had sent the mighty John L. to the mat to take the count, and incidentally surrender his crown as the greatest fighter in the world, to a boy, whom he had looked upon as a fly, to be brushed from his path with equal ease. From the very day that Jas. J. Corbett came into the limelight as a I fighter, to the present time, lie has been the most talked of boxer who ever donned a padded mitt. His. is a personality that draws like a mag net. Big, straight as an arrow, clean cut, well educated, Corbett has always occupied a unique place in the fistic game. Other fighters have mounted to diz zy heights of popularity with their wins over other men, but it has re mained for Corbett to become a more popular hero in defeat, than when he wore the champion's crown. Corbett was eaily nicknamed "Gen tleman Jim.'' and the title fitted him like a glove. He was, and is, always the gentleman. A man, who was at one time closely associated with the big fellow, tells many stories of Cor hett, that go to prove his claim as the most geentlemaniy fellow who ever wore a glove in the arena. Cor bett, soft of voice, and always ready to step aside to avoid discord, was often the victim of his own desire to keep out of the lime light. Recalling a night in a well known New York hotel some years ago, the erstwhile friend of the ex-champ tells one on Corbett that goes to show his rare judgment, and the brain that made him the best respected fighter of all times: It was after a bout at one of the old Coney Island clubs. Corbett, with Bob Fitzsimmons, Young Corbett, Gus Ruhlan and Cor bett's press representative were lined up at the bar, discussing the fight they had just witnessed. Into the cafe staggered a big rough giant, six feet in his stockings, if he was an inch. He sized up the chance to get to the bar, and seeing that the rail was occupied, he reached with his big hairy paw for the press agent, who chanced to be the slightest one of the gathering, and gripping him by the arm, spun him away from the mahogany, with the remark, "Let a man get up here that wants to spend his money." Corbett, who stood next to his representative, looked the big fellow over and he, with the half jag, thought he detected in the "once over" Corbett bestowed on him an unspoken argument. Leering into Cor bett's face he inquired in an inso lent tone, "You ain't looking for nothin' are you?" Corbet sized him up, set himself, his right hand slipped down ready to shoot up against the drunk's jaw like the rip of a pile driver. But it did not leave his side, instead Corbett thrust his right into his coat pocket, laughed, and said in a soft voice to the bel ligerent stranger: "You win, old man. good night," and taking the arm HERE'S FIRST PICTURE OF AUSTRALIAN NET p Left to right: A. F. Wilding, Norman E. Brookes, A. W. Dunlop and Capt. S. N. Doust. Here's the first photograph taken in America of the champion Australasian tennis team, which will battle for the Davis cup. The two best players on the team are Wilding and Brookes, who outclass the best tenuisera f England and Europe. This photo- was taken at Lake Forest, 111, where the Australasians met the Caai54 -temdeta for ,the Dvi trophy , - .- of his representative he nodded to the bunch and stepped out into the street. "What was the matter, Jim?" in quired the newspaper man, "why didn't you let that hay maker go. You should have torn that boob's head off from where you were an chored. He wouldn't have known what hit. Anil it was coming to him. He was looking for it." "Granted that he was," said Cor bett.' "The papers next morning would have said, no matter what the circumstances, 'Brutal fighter attacks inoffensive stranger,' and I would have been held up to the ridicule of the world. It's the fate of the fighter. Ninety Per cent of the people believe to n l.p.itn There you have the real Jim Cor bett, gentleman. After all these years and when his name has been the, means of .filling theaters wherever he has appeared, ho is still the same loveable character. The only fighter to enjoy the unique distinction of be ing an elected member of that ex clusive. New York clique, the green room club. Corbett. who has lately deserted the vaudeville stage for the movies, bills fair, it is said, to become as big a favorite in the silent drama as when he was kingif the boxers. HIMSELF AS 10 ROAD Piescott Race Winner to Live on the Run Between Los Angeles and Phoenix Until Race Starts Ellie Wilson, winner of the Phoe nix to I'rescott road race and an en- ,'ti'ant in the coming coast to Phoenix race, left Saturday evening with Bev ! erly Cox in the latter's automobile, for Los Angeles. It is Wilson's pur pose to go into the race, the . best informed rider in the list, and so he can attain the sum of road know ledge he thinks necessary, he is going over the race course from both ends. All the way to Los Angeles, he will study the road from behind the wheel of the car, and then, will take a motorcycle and come back as far as Yuma. He will make several trips over the California leg of the route. About September 15, he will return, take his old blue wagon and begin hitting the rhoenix-Yuma stretch of the road, trying for speed between the checking stations, until he can schedule himself absolutely over every stretch. He has been asked to make regular reports on the road conditions, and these, together with interesting in cidents on the road, will be published in The Arizona Republican WHERE THEY PLAY TODAY National League Cincinnati at Boston Chicago at Brooklyn St. Louis at New York American League Washington at Chicago.

Lion Theater Secures Movies of the Second Great Globs. Girdling By American Ball Team. Sports afilm would be a good comprehensive title for the six-reel Eclectic release, which starts at the Lion today, with the Giants-White Sox world tour pictures. From the start m Cincinnati to the ga-lorious finish in New York City, when Presi dent John K. Tener greeted the big league globe girdlers, the tossers were ground up into little bits of inch-square photos for the delecta tion of the movie fans. There is a peculiar relationship be tween fans and movie fans, and this is the time it can be shown. Those who love their baseball, and can re cite the bookkeeping on all their favorite players, and those who keep up with the whirlwind changes of the silent drama are similarly af flicted with the great unrest. In the world tour, there are many interest ing features beside the games the experts put on for tho people of those foreign lands. The vivid im pression made on the aliens by these exponents of America's great game is portrayed in the film, for it shows the crowds and the big guns who came to see the games aye, even unto the rulers of the nations. In cidents which were cabled to Ameri ca and spread upon the pages of the Pink sheets are depicted just as they happened, and those who followed the tourists around the globe will recognize the plays that they read about. The only kick the fans have on the arrangement is that the stingy film agency will only supply one reel at a time a week between successive shows. But it's all coming, for the Lion has booked the half dozen solid for the next six Mondays and Tues days. . o BOY FINISHED THE SNEEZE A small street urchin from the city, who was spending some time in a fresh air camp, was the source of considera ble entertainment to members of the family at a farm where he frequently called for milk and apples. "Whaddye think about the youngster, anyhow?" the farmer asked his wife one evening. "He's a nice little fellow," the wife replied, "but I can't just make him out." "How make him out?" "Every time grampaw sneezes 'Ischl' that boy alius laughs and yells 'Ka bib ble:" From Judge. o JOE JACKSON BY A. M. CORRIGAN I- Red McGhee Says: Where Carolina's rough an' wild there used to be a husky child some fif teen years ago. who played ball with the mountain boys. He always was the one big noise. They called him Dixie Joe. The years ain't hushed his noise a bit. They're like a sounding board for it it's louder every year. Joe keeps on pilin' up safe raps al though hi team, the luckless Naps, have pulled up in the rear. Joe ain't got any pretty lines. Apol-lo-ing ain't where he shines. He don't run much to grace. But when he grabs his big, black stick an' bangs that ol' Reach ball a lick the outfield stars a race. Joe's running ain't a handsome sight but then it's got the speed all right as all the catchers know. He's some wildcat around the sacks, hook sliding 'round the ba.semen's backs an' beatin' out the throw. He fields some, too has one swell whip. But battin'a earned ol' Joe his grip on all the million fans. On those old, til' Polo grounds one day he hit one that just flew away across the two deck Stan's. They claim it was the longest swat that ever left that classy lot where Faker won his fame. His team may strand on last place sholes. but Dixie Joe gets out an' poles .300 just the same.

GETTING OUT OF DANGER ZONE While visiting a nephew in New York, Uncle Hayseed stopped in front of a movie poster, on which were dis played pictures of lions, tigers and other African wild animals. "Great guns, Henry!" he said to his nephew, I'm mighty glad I leave town Saturday afternoon. "Why are you so anxious to get away?" asked his nephew. Pointing to the poster on the wall. Uncle Hayseed read aloud the words, "To be released on Monday." It was with apparent equanimity that Phoenix faced a Sunday without baseball, and perhaps 'twere better thus just now. It will make the pas time graced by the old-time stars of last year, seem all the more, at tractive. What? Hadn't you heard that rtitchie, Togneri, Whitt, ("low find others of the 1913 Solonical lineup would be here soon? . . We will proceed to tell you about it. The prospects are very good, af firms Clow, of getting the famous trio back. . In fact, it is almost sure that The Honest Japanese Schoolboy will return to the capital city. Says Clow: "Togneri is hitting fine, but he wears a large frown over having- to play outfield. Yunno Big Scott has the first sack cinched on that Fay team, and as he is hitting fine, too, Tog has to perform in the wil derness. But you just otto see Whitt! Whitt has grown some, and his legs is bigger'n they was, and he is hit ting great The other day he went over second base, speared the ball, and flipped it between his legs for a put . out. And Kitchie, he ain't what you might call goin' back none. Wcs is steadied down a lot since he was here." Clow is in Phoenix on a diplomatio mission. In other words, he isn't doing anything. He got his release from the Ray team on account of a flare-up he had with the manager, an Individual named Adams, who ain't for drink except in soda stand complications. But Hap is still the same old Clow. He will probably be hitting better this year or he would not have stuck with Ray as long as he did, for Ray demands a baseball person of unquestionable willow swinging ability. Smokey Jose (Smiley) Sonoqul is going some. He has been hurling to Pep Cook lately, and has steadied into a regular pitcher. Ray works him with Masters, the expert port sider, and the two can operate a lot of official misery for the opposing I If" illllllli' :; a :? Si! ' ' ' I, tow J in the SCHOOLS Mm BE OPENED Interdiction Against Them and Churches in Turkey Having an Irritating Ef fect, Destructive of Inter national Relations . CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. -.It appears that a large proportion of the Ottoman Greeks are weary of the maintenance of the patriarchal inter diet whereby Greek schools and churches are closed throughout the Turkish empire. The measure seems to have been adopted against the wishes of the patriarch and in accordance with the desire of the majority of the hply synod. If it has embarrassed and annoyed the porte, it has in no wise benefited the Ottoman Greek laity and in no wise prevented the ex pulsion or emigration of over 100,000 Creeks from Anatolia. The further maintenance of the interdict is un likely to serve any useful purpose, and is indeed calculated to strengthen the impression that the majority of the holy synod are influenced rather by sympathy with the political as pirations of the Hellenic extremists than by a desire for the welfare of the orthodox church in Turkey or for the material and moral well Leing of their sorely-tried flock. At a moment, to, when, despite the violent and melodramatic utter ances of Enver Bey and other Otto man politicians, moderate states men, such as Talaat Bey, are un doubtedly working for an under standing with Greece, it would surely he wiser to withdraw the measure, which would otherwise contribute to the continuance of Graeco-Turkish tension. o Hire a little salesman at The Re publican office. A Want Ad will see more customers than "ou car batsmen. Clow avows that Smiley's slow ball is the best he has ever seen. Cook has been catching a great game, but, as always, lacks hitting ability. Jenkins, the other runaway catcher for Phoenix, is the man with the sticrf. It do be said that the Ray fans collected some two hundred odd bucks for Penkins after he had broken up the Hayden Ray Cons game with that over-the-mountain homer with the bases full last Sun day. Ha! Ha! So Teddy Tetzlaff went and broke tho half-mile track record at Salt Lake! We'll bet this is ex citing. We can remember the timo when all a motor-racing person had to do to gain everlasting (localized) fame was to smash some track rec ord Barney Oldfield had made when a wheeze-cart capable of making fif ty miles an hour for five consecutive minutes was a thing of tremendous importance. Poor old Jack Johnson! He now has to fight for France. If Johnson survives the bullets of the Dutchmen, and doesn't get scared into a jeemi my fit, he will yet set himself firmly on his two large flat feet and drag a haymaker out of his hip pocket for some light-complexioned pugilist. Fighters that face the proposition of no roped arena for some time to come are Johnson, Carpentier, Le Doux, Walsh. Wells, Clabby, Smith, Shugrue, McGoorty, Saylor, Bronson, Gunboat Smith and Young Ahearne. The eight last named are marooned in either France, England or Aus tralia with little chance of getting out.
