est features of the transcontinental
travel that has come to oiir notice
is the congestion of a thousand mo

proper thing for the chamber of

to the New Mexico city to route the
entire two hundred and fifty - ears

only passable roads are. All the

x BY SCOOP
Phoenix got a prominent place on
the sport map last week. Look what
then, cast your eyes over the achieve
Hunt of Charles Qrme. Every once
in a while, this active young metropo
lis gets its name In the paper for
producing something different from
the rest of the world.
Coyote athletes were there like a
million dollars in the University Week
sports. Except in one instance, they
took about everything in sight. The
only trouble is that Phoenix may be
accused of being too proud of its
husky sons and that's not a very
lad crime, anyhow.
To have the captain of the win
ning Stanford crew, a chap who
v. as brought up in the Salt river
valley is something to be joyful
about. li me is a splendid athlete
and a fine fellow, and the Phoenix
olony at the Palo Alto school is
wild about his progress. There are
many ex-high school chaps from this
burg now in Stanford and they un
doubtedly made the campus shake
when they celebrated.
Everything is lovely for the Phoenix
club in the Rio Grande league. Be
ing in organized baseball will be a
new experience for our fans, and no
doubt they will appreciate it a lot
when the league gets to playing. Al
ready, there is a deal of close fig
uring on a possible pennant for the
Senators.
Automobile travel to the coast is
going to mark a pretty broad path
this summer, and the state of Ari
zona is going to be on the widest
tunately situated for auto travel at
this eason. Both the old and the
new Ocean to Oceari routes through
central and northern Arizona are
blocked at this season by snow and
mud. In the Springerville region,
the old O-O highway is absolutely
impassable to cats on account of the
deep mud.. EVen. mule teams do not
venture out in the slush the melting
snow has spread over the road.

! FAVORS GOOD LEG
NOW IT IS BAD
According to J. Carlisle Smith,
j his left leg, not the one that was
broken Just before the world's
1 series of '14, is the one that is
bothering the Atlanta boy this
spring in the Braves' camp at
Macon. Johnny Evers explains
this by referring to a few pages
out of his own books, as follows:
"After I had broken my leg
i and was getting better, I favor-
ed my leg that had been broken j
I and put more than the proper I
amount of work on the good leg. '
! The good leg was called upon to
I do almost twice as much work
as any normal leg should do. As
j a result, the spring after I broke
one leg I developed a fierce
charley horse in the other leg,
I the worst charley horse I ever
have had in baseball. That's the !
I trouble with Smith's left leg." j

NEW YORK, April 12. By the end
of the ensuing week the baseball
season of 1913 will be well underway
anil the fans will have begun their
annual figuring of percentages and
the chances of success of the various
teams, not to speak of their close
watch on the individual work of the
more prominent players in the three
big leagues. Saturday the Federals
opened the season at Kansas City,
Chicago, Baltimore and Brooklyn.
Harry Sinclair and P. T. Powers, the
Newark club owners, promise their
tern and eastern clubs of each or
ganization playing in their own terri
tories. While the weather conditions
on the whole were not very desirable
or conducive to early development of
the players during their stay in their
respective training camps, managers
and players alike are seemingly sat
isfied with the results of their
spring practice. Manager Stallings is
said to be more than hopeful that
the Boston Braves will repeat their
victory of last year in the National
league pennant race and subsequent
world's series. The American League
pennant winners of last season have

winners of last year's Federal
league pennant, will have as oppo
nents the Baltimore players who fin
ished third in last season's cham
pionship struggle. Up to two weeks
ago President Gilmore and the Fed
eral League club owners had any
thing but a smooth road to travel In
arranging this year's schedule, owing
to the legal difficulties which they
encountered in making a satisfactory
disposition of the Kansas City-Indianapolis-Newark
tangle and the allot
ment of several players, the right to
whose services was disputed by some
of the clubs. However, all these
year ago when at the outset of the
season the pennant was practically
conceded to the Mackmen.
This season, however, the race in
both leagues seems to be more open
and consequently the changes which
have been wrought by purchase ex
change release or secession of play
ers during the winter months may
serve to stimulate and increase pub
lic interest in the outcome of the
pennant struggle in both organiza
tions. This would aueur well for
an interesting season's play and turn
what at one time promised to be a
lean year Into a fruitful one for the
club-owners.

Bv A CHAUFFEUR
With the Fleet of Overlands in Bel
gium
I was ordered to drive the director
of the cannon factory and an offi
cer from Calais to the front. In ad
dition to the passengers, the car,
which has a transport body like
that of other Overlands in use here,
was loaded with artillery parts for
repairing guns together with a quan
tity of petrol and oil necessary to
last us the entire drive. The weather
was cold and foggy with a strong
wind blowing off the sea.
Before leaving Calais we were
stopped by the first of the many
sentries encountered everywhere.
They spring up suddenly, apparently
out of the ground, like jacks in the
box We were stopped three times
before arriving at Punkirk and each
time we were forced to show our
papers and passes Every ' precaution
is taken against spies, but they man
age to get within the lines in spite
of the risks they run.
In the towns we were only allowed
to maintain a speed little faster than
a walk, but on the- open road there
is no limit The Overland often
reached a speed of fifty miles an
ohur with its full load.
After we left Punkirk the hard
driving started. Upon leaving the
town we turned sharp to' the right
and followed ti.e cana! for a long
distance, passing a number of cars
smashed and deserted at the roaJ-
Itide. We jaw an Overland npsid.-

c:inal to prevent capture at some
time.
When we left the canul hanks the
roadi became exceedingly rough and
were fearf'jliy cut up by the passing
of heavy transports, the troops and
artillery. While rounding a turn at
fair speed I had to jam on the
brakes to keep from running into
some nasty looking barb wire entan
glements which stretched across the
road about two feet high. Upon
alighting I found that there was Jint
enough room left for our car to
crawl through diagonally a cess the
road.
We had just gotten up speed ag;in
when we were forced to stop ani
squeeze past some earthworks built
on eilher side of the road, allowing
just room en-.;iigh to get the car
through with a great deal of manipu
lation and close work. In'm-iiialoly
after that we encountered a. seri-s
of entrenches dug utmost clear acrc-ss

ditihes would probably the car
out of commission and seriously in
jure the passengers.
Sleet and snow, wh:c'i came at
this point, would have made drivinj:
very difficult and dangerous, iiad it
not been fur the excellent adjustable
windshield with which the Overland
is eipiipped. When we arrived at
Houtham, once ;i prosperous Belgian
city, we found it occupied entirely
by the military, practically all of the
inhabitants having left. ' The street
were alive with soldiers, horses and
guns, going to and from the fighting
front, or changing positions. In the
distance we could hear the continu
ous bouiiiinrr of the Belgirin 150 milli
meter guns. In the city we lunched
on sandwiches ml lumps of choco
late and were on our way again in
less than a quarter of an hour.
The only road from here to; the
front was of the roughest sort, hur
riedly constructed for army use. In
-ome instances the ruts were fully
a loot deep. The Overland sped over
fields, bumped over railroad (cross
ings, floundcied in mud up to the
axles, and I drove hiilf the time with
ttie front wheels caught, in the great
ruts m.ulc by the heavy guns.
We finally re-iched our destination,
where noise of the guns was deafen
ing. This, with the clack of the
miltrailleuse, the shrieking of shells
and tile continuous galloping of bat
teries, made bedlam of what used to
he a peaceable fanning country. I
unloaded the car as soon as possible
and started the return journey in the

STUQEBAKER IKES
BIG SALES RECORD
With factories taxed to capacity
and working overtime, the Studebaker
Corporation, Detroit, the last week
of March enjoyed the biggest week
of sales in the history of the organi
zation. A summary of the sales of
the entire month indicates that March
has been the best month Studebaker
ever had.
"We are not altogether surprised
by the showing we have been mak
ing," said E. R. Benson, vice-president
in charge of sales, "since we have
been seeing the sales mount day by
day all through the month, but none
theless we are highly delighted. Do
ing a business all over the world,
we can hope for a boom in business
in one country to offset a depression
in another, but the increase for
March has been practically uniform
everywhere.
"Naturally we are interested first
in the sales in. the United States.
These indicate that the country is
now in a healthier condition finan
cially. The situation that the men
dully. The establishment of the re
serve banks, the courageous facing of
the European situation, the high
prices for foodstuffs, and the deter
mination that business must go on
as usual all tended to a stabilizing
of the commercial world. I. find that
the country is counting on absorbing
the ?2U",ooo,(iOO that, formerly -our
tourists spent in Europe each sum
mer. This tremendous sum will carry
us over what may be called the slack
summer season.
"I am glad to say that our com
mercial car department is even busier
compared to last year, than any other
branch of our- production depart
ment. So far in March we have sold
as many commercial cars, as we sold
during the first' nine months of 1914.
We sold to one western firm forty
jitney busses, priced at the factory
at $50,000.
"With three or four well defined
highways across the continent, there
is little wonder that people who
never, considered touring in America
before are now buying machines to
"see America first.' More Stude
baker cars are sold west of Denver
than any other selling for more than
$ti00, and the sales this season are
well in advance of those st tills time
