CHARGED WITH DRIVING
AUTO FASTER THAN WALK
Case Against Chauffeur Dismissed Be-
cause of Faulty Wording
of Complaint

Police Justice Chambers yesterday
wrestled with the problem of how fast
an automobile could walk, and failed
to arrive at definite conclusion, but
Tom Watson, the chauffeur in charge
of the auto was discharged. 1t all
happened because the complaint against
Watson stated that the automobile was
driven across an intersection of streets
faster than walk"
When Police Justice Chambers read
the complaint and came to the point
where it was stated the auto was go
ing faster than a walk he paused and
without comment dismissed the case
against Watson.
Justice Chambers stated that he was
unable to determine how fast an auto
mobile could walk, and under the cir
cumstances 1t would be impossible to
hold Watson on the complaint.

SOUTHEASTERN ARIZONA
President of First National Bank of
Douglas Praises His Section
of Territory

B. A. Packard of Douglas, Arizona,
who is registered at the Hollenbeck,
expressed yesterday his belief in the
future of southeastern Arizona in the
highest terms. Packard is one of tho
leading cattle owners of Arizona as
well as president of the First National
bank at Douglas.
With the two large shelters of the
southwest in our section of the coun-
try" he said, "the Copper Queen Con-
Solidated company's smelter and the
one owned by the administrations
company, the former producing more
copper than any other in the world,
our prospects are bright, indeed. Rail-
roads are fast being built in nearly
every locality, a line from Douglas to
Cananea going through in the near fu-
ture Cattle prospects are also bright,
although a severe drought has handi-
capped the ranchers during the past
few months"
Packard is one of the three directors
of the Arizona territorial state fair
which will open November at Phoe-
nix Harness races will be made a
prominent feature of the exhibition.
The fastest trotters and PAGERS from
every section of the United States Will

S29 600 in stakes will be awarded, two
purses alone, the Copper stakes, being
worth $4,000. ]. C. Adams and Hugh
Campbell are the two other members
of the committee.
Regarding the question of Arizona
entering the Union, he said: "Of
course we are in favor of it to a man.
as it will be of vast benefit to all con-
cerned. We would, however, rather
remain a territory than enter in con-
junction, with New Mexico"
Packard arrived in Los Angeles yes
terday to attend the graduating exer-
cises of his daughter MISS Dorothea
Packard. from the Marlborough School
for Girls. He will return to Douglas
the latter part of the week.

ter at Seventh and Hope streets yes

UP and robbed. Anderson stated that
he lives at Abbotsford Inn, Eighth and
Hope streets, and early yesterday

Just what happened after the blow
was inflicted is as much or a mystery
to Anderson as to the police, for when
found by Patrolman Erwin Anderson
was unconscious. That he was robbed
of $50 and a valuable watch was all
that Anderson could tell the police.

POWERS POOR AS UMPIRE.
Help to Pitcher Proved No Help at
 AL with Hurst Behind.

The late Doc Powers, who was the star of Connie Mack's catching staff in his time, always delighted in tell ing of the first game he ever caught with Hurst umpiring. Powers was al
 ways full of pepper. and in order to encourage his pitcher kept up a con- tinuous chatter throughout the game That's a beach," would be his com ment on a ball that was perhaps a foot wide of the plate. Another pip pin Eddie" would be his comment of the next ball served by. Plank, de- spites the fact that it was up around the batter's eye. Just like picking cherries" was another way of express ing his belief that the ball conformed to all the regulations of strike Tim rather enjoyed the ginger shown by the youngster, and for about six inn ings paid no attention to the chat ter. Finally Tim called a batter out on ball that was a trifle low, as he afterwards admitted, but which Pow
 CTS declared was peach.
 Letting the catcher umpire the game for you; losing your nerve, l guess" were the words handed to Tim by the sore and disgusted batter who had just been retired on strikes. It had just the effect the batter desired, for Tim immediately got after Powers without mincing words. Young man. you may be a good judge of fruit, but you're not on a farmi this is a ball game. During the rest of the game l call the balls and strikes without any agricultural remarks from you, other wise I will be forced to request you to beat it. It is needless to say that the game proceeded to the finish with
 out further comment from Powers.

SEASON OF 1909 '
 GREAT FOR 2-YEAR oLos
Ben Brush Leads. Sires-85 StaIlions Represented by Winners.

The racing season of 1909 has been productive of great sport in various sections of the United States, as well as in Canada. and from the stand point of two year olds it has been all most up to the standard of other years. It is true the amount of money won by the aged horses this year was not as great as in former years, and in many respects the class of youngsters was not up to the standard, but from the number that won brackets. the com parison was up to the standard, and many of the most prominent sires of the country were represented on the turf with two year old winners. Dur ing the season just closing S5 stallions have been represented on the turf with two year old winners, and no less than 465 youngsters of this age have won 1.156 races and earned total of $475,- 500 for their respective owners. Of the S5 stallions represented by two year old winners this season, the get of ten of the number have won s10,000 O. over, and only four of the youngsters have passed the $1O000 mark. Ben Brush easily leads his nearest competi- tor with two year old winners, while his son, Sweep, is far ahead of the other two year old winners in the amount of money won.

In both the England and Canadian games the rules absolutely forbid off- side interference, and they are much more open and spectacular than the American, the English game being es- pecially so, he says.
 As the game which he favors 10 played the lineup is much the same as our own, except that there are three halfbaclks and the linesmen are called inside. middle and outside wings instead of guard, tackle and end. The main difference lies in the rule for bidding player to go through the line ahead of the man carrying the ball Thus, though bucks, tandems, and oth- CT plays of the kind may be used, and the wings may protect the back-field while they are behind the line, the backs must depend upon their own az gressiveness and speed to gain their yards. whether they go through the line or around the end.
 As a result, more attention is paid to kicking and handling of the ball than in our game. and the system of short, snappy passes by which the ball is often advanced by several men in turn in the same play makes the game much faster and more open, though in this respect the English game with two quarterbacks, four halfbacks and all the forwards gathered in ths "scrim" is even more spectacular.

 The lineup selected includes men prominent in different branches of the local athletics, and should make a fast bunch that will be hard to travel against. For center there is Steve Sul- livan, well known in Norwich base ball circles and built right for the ex- acting duties of the pivotal position. Big Dave Rydholm and John Mullin. known as Shadow" will be the for wards, presenting a noticeable contrast in size, but both are clever men at the goal shooting game, Rydholm having been one of the Heavyweights' football team. The two guards are Long Red Rankin and Big Dick Sheehan, the for mer of the Invincibles baseball team and the latter one of the Kickers. They will make solid pair for the opposing forwards to fight against.

Harvard and Yale are presented wish a perplexing situation in regard to tie day of the annual boat race on the Thames between the two universities. Formerly the Yale commencement came on Tuesday and Harvard's on Wednesday of the last week in June, but the Yale faculty has recently changed its commencement to the week preceding, making complications that promise trouble. Each institution wants the race as near the commence ment as possible, in order to have a large crowd of graduates back for the occasion. and with a week between the two both cannot be accommodated. If it were to come in the middle of the week between the two commencements neither would have as~farge a follow ing as they would like and so the mat ter stands.
