It will not be a case f Ray plus a few pickups versus O'Brien, the yooman olla. For Husky McGowan will start the game having rested for a matter of a week. And lu'k there on the Mesa bench, twid filing a glove and looking on, his ears working steadily as he masticates the spearmint, will be that Greek God guy with the handle, called Ramsay. Ram sey, who can pitch somewhat, his own sWf, will be waiting for a possible on slaught that McGowan cannot stay. Miller, the most entirely useful sec ond baseman in this state, will do that lor Mesa. This put Williams in right rteld, Harry Hal out of it except as a pinch hitter and Brown on short. Now, what is the state of your mind con cerning that? (We're abandoning slang, except in its polished forms.) We think that it is all right. The game will fill in an interim. Back of that interim the last one, by the way this summer looms the Globe series - with - Phoenix, Saturday and Simday, twice. This will be the most totally classy (slips) arangement that Leo H. J. S. Togneri has' been able to nanke in a long, long time. Hugh Bedienl. Can Two Wheels Beat Four? ? J& j& j& j& j& They'll Try It At The Fair : .Can they do it? That is the question. Barney Old field made it in 48-seconds in his mag nificent high power "Christy". The "Christy" could have gone much faster. It. was only a question of whether it could have stayed on the ground and negotiated the turns. It" was simply a . question of how close to death it could go, and escape. ; -' ; Barney established a track record on the state fair grounds track, of 48 seconds, and the motorcycle boys assert that they will lower it two seconds at the Arizona state fair this year. One of the races scheduled for all motorcycles is a mile trial, open to all riders and to all classes of machines. . . Several of the great factories will what is termed "ported" machines, for the special purpose of making the fast est mile that ever was made on any track, and particularly on the won derful track at the Arizona state fair grounds. The question is, can human flesh and human mechanism stand the strain of such a test? Can a human being make such a mile on a dirt track and live? It will be a wonderful test, a won derful mile. Two great motorcycle road races will precede the fair. One from the coast to the fair grounds, and the other the northern Arizona inter-city' contest. The northern Arizona road race will start at Springerville and go by way of St, Johns, Holbrook, Winslow, Flag- a send their "crack" riders out with staff, Williams, Ashfork, Prescott, Wickenburg, to the fair grounds. ComtEm It is the sincere wish of the box nffice man that the new Phoenix team get beat or extendeS to its full lighting strength in today's game with tne Mesa Jewels. This is not disloyalty to the team, but the in tensest if roundabout sort of sup port. For after that 10 to 1 game Hist Sunday, it began to look as though Phoenix had committed the same indiscretion as Tempe the early part of the 1913 season gathered too strong a team for any kind of use. .. ... . , There will be excellent horse stuff at the next state fair. No .season yet has. had such a tremendous re Tival of the great sport, in both its branches. , While the state fair is f 11 making the galloping races fill ins, the commission is paying more n-nd more attention to these : events. . But if anybody can even things tP, it is Paul J. Langowski. With the mnst ardent desire to give the NAP RUCKER'S ARM GOING TO THE BAD? Willi Nap Rncker. ' Nap' Rucker, star hurler with th Brooklyn Nationals, is doing his ut most 'to get back his once wonderful hurling wing in the shape it was when he was one of the most feared twirlers in the old league. Mean while Brooklyn fans are anxiously waiting to hear whether their idol ia finished as a pitcher. . Solons a run for their money, Paul has engaged Ramsey and Miller, of Miami; Miller is the fastest second baseman In the Btate, and Ramsey is an old head twirler, who made the Mesa boys swing their, sticks futiie ly in the closing game of the late Miami series. In our own peculiar sport parlance, the act of the Germans in cutting 'way out north of the allies is a "wide end run." Our Deutscher friends on this side of the water are as though ranged on the side lines, yelling in unison: T-O-U-C-H D-O-W-N ! ! ! T-O-U-C-H D-O-W-N ! ! 1 and putting a lot of college "spirit into it, -.., Sam' Diamond, of Williams, ' Ariz., writes the sport editor asking "Who made the home run for .Mesa against the White Sox?" Answer is: . "Ernie AVllliams, short stop, cracked Ed Walsh's first delivered ball over the left field fence . in the first half of the first inning." . - o Mike Mitchell of the Washington team and "Hobby" Hoblitzell of the Red Sox, both former National leag-' uers, have displayed fine wares since joining the American league. o . Battling Levinsky has started his fall campaign, which probably means that Bat intends to fight six or eight times a week. Something like forty entries have al ready been made in the coast race, and it is thought that more than that nm ber wfli be entered in the northern Arizona race. The northern Arizona race will be a great endurance run. It gets quite cool up on the moun tain tops in the early part of Novem ber. Sometimes there are sleet and snow, and it will make a great test of the skill and endurance of both the rider and the machine, to be able to make.the schedule, and wind up as a winner at the Arizona state fair Sounds. o Bert Daniels is hitting at a lively clip with the Cincinnati Reds, but his throwing is weak. The former Yankee -Oriole performer has a bum whip that hinders the long . tosses from the outfield. o Pete Falsey, the Tale outfielder, has been released by the Pittbsurg Pirates. Pete failed to show suffi cient big league stuff.
