paying the tolls, riding in a well ap-
pointed coach, with a liveried coach
man driving a pair of fine horses. the
members of the Presidents Cabinet have
little to bother them in the way Of
maintaining a stable. Each member OF
the Cabinet is furnished with horses
and vehicles and Uncle Sam pays the
bills.
Secretary Loeb Is as we'll fixed in this
respect as a Cabinet officer. Each day,
after the President has finished his
morning business. his secretary walks
through the Executive offices and enters
a carriage drawn by a pair of black
horses. he is driven to his home for
luncheon. and does not return TO the
White House until o'clock in the af-
terToOn.
Secretary Taft. although rivaling Sec
Rotary Garfield in the frequency OF his
visits to the White House. uses a car
rage less than any other member Of
the Cabinet. The Secretary finds that
walking helps 10 keep down flesh as well
as anything else, and so he pounds back
and forth from the War Department,
climbing and descending the stone steps
of the State, War and Navy building
with. surprising agility.

Jimmy Garfield's visits to the White
House are so frequent that as soon as
his driver gets out of the maze of traf-

HIGH SCHOOL NINE
 HAD A CLOSE GALL
An Exciting Finish of a Very Erratic Game of Ball.

The game between the Phoenix High school and the Phoenix Indian school. yesterday afternoon at the Indian school grounds was a most er- ratio affair. full of errors and miscues
 on both sides. In the first part. the
 High School took the lead by a score
 of 13 to l, but the Indians kept whit
 ting down the margin till the last
 session. when the first real excitement
 came to a focus.
 There were two gone. the bases
 were full. the score stood F to 13 in
 favor of the Highs and Pierce was up
 to bat. IL was a good bet that the In-
 dians would start something. and it
 would not have taken much to win
 The High School rOoters were swal lowing their hearts, but they kept bobbing up against their palates.
 Luck broke in their favor however for the ball which Pierce connected with. proved but a swift grOunder to third which Hahn scooped up and shot to first in the nick of time. Dun lap digging the ball out of the dust. IL was critical play and won the game for the Highs.
 This was really the only hair-rais- ing stunt of the exhibition. Hurley
 was very effective during the first part of the game, but lost a little in control with the bad support given him along about the third inning. The Indians improved in batting. but would never have crawled up SO close to the lucky thirteen without the aid of slips by the High School infield. Ochillo the Indian twirler. was pound ed unmercifully in the third when
 the Highs stacked up ten tallies, but after that settled down to business and the bingles were few and far be- tween.
 An error and a sacrifice and q passed ball gave the redskins the first mark in the opener. The Highs did not score. In the second the Highs nosed three across the pan, Higley driving in two with a two-bagger, and
