One of the great est features of the transcontinental travel that has come to oiir notice is the congestion of a thousand mo torists hung up at Albuquerque. The proper thing for the chamber of commerce to do, is to send somebody to the New Mexico city to route the entire two hundred and fifty - ears through Southern Arizona, where the only passable roads are.

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. o : I ! 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 PEADODY 6ETS MOTHER RECORD; WHICH IS OFF ji I Coyotes Return Jubilant Over Vic tory in Track and Helay Meets at University Week TUCSON GOLFERS WIN COUNTRY CLUB MATCH Ten Tucson golfers, represent ing the Country club of that city I again demonstrated their ability, I by defeating ten Phoenix golfers t on the country club links.

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 been widely scattered and the roster of the Philadelphia Athletics today patrons that the new hall ground .

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.

McArdle will play short, Powling will have the regular second base job, and Toner will enter the hurling department. Hester is figuring on playing first base his old position in the Union Association. Brown, Pittman and Nutt are al ready on the ground. Of the three, Pittman is sure of a regular posi tion, while Nutt and Brown are prob ably to be retained for utility work. Nutt will be second string catcher, while Brown will be used either at second or in the outfield in case of disability of one of the regular men. The campaign for funds is meeting with a good response. Here, ns in the other cities of the circuit, the businessmne are realizing the value of a league club. So far, Albuquerque has made the greatest advance toward the completion of its arrangements. Manager George Heed has organized a stock company there, and has es cured backing from three tf the most prominent bankers of the city. :ji...:a LITERALLY He Can't get the hang of this 'trot.

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.

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 the road A fall into tuese big 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 dark. And drivng at night in Bel gium is far different from the night driving yoj know Your work re quires full speed and yet you are al lowed only half of your lights and even they must be dimmed. . , o VOLUNTEERS ATTENTION The regular quarterly meeting of the Phoe nix Volunteer Fire Department will he held this evening in Firemen's hall, second floor of the city hall building. All members of the various volunteer companies are urged to attend as there will be business of importance as well as several interesting reports to be read. .. 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 a year ago. o auvoiyii ine w oman s Missionary Society of the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, will meet in the church parlors Tuesday in an all-day- session.
