Long Tom Hughes, the Nationals
veteran twirler, will be left at home to-
night by Manager Jimmy McAleer, as
he is suffering from a sore arm and
would be OF little use to the team on the
coming Western trip. Hughes will rest
his arm. taking just enough light exer-
else 10 keep in good physical condition,
and be prepared for work against the
Western clubs when the Nationals re-
turn home on May q.
Eighteen players Will accompany Nc
Aleer on the first invasion of the West.
"Gabby" Street, the injured catcher, is
expected to join the team in Cleveland
on May lS. II he is then ready to go
behind the bat, he will be used regular
Iy, if only on account of his hitting.
Street has become one of the most time
ly hitters on the team and is sadly
needed.
Conroy to Stay In Field.
Though he has not bee.- hitting the
ball very hard, Wild Conroy. the vet
eran outfelder. will remain in left field
for a while. at least. McAleer thinks
there is bound to be an improvement in
his hitting, and his fast work in the
garden is better than that of Germany
Schaefer. who is naturally an inf1elder.
Dixie Walkers Chances.
Dixie Walker the Alabama baby, is
expected to do his share of the pitching
on this coming trip. though he will not
be used unless warm weather shows up.
Walker is more than useless on a cool
day, but McAleer is hoping that some
hot days will come while the team is
away, and then Walker will be given a
chance to show what he can do.
Off for Chicago.
The Nationals leave tonight at 6:25 for
Chicago, opening a four-game series
there on Wednesday. Before they re-
turn they will meet all the Western
clubs, and will come close to discover
ing whether the Detroit Tigers are so
much stronger this season or the other
three clubs in that country are 80
much weaker.
Manager McAleer believes the De-
troiters are much stronger. and says
that they will keen the Athletics guess

East VS.. West.

The first real test Of the American
League season will come as soon as the
teams Of the East reach the West for
their invasion of that section.
Many have maintained that the speedy
start which the Detroit Tigers have OBJ
tanned has been due to the fact that
Jennings men have been opposing clubs
considerably below the caliber of the
teams in the East. Whether this Is
true will be demonstrated in the first
intersectional series.
1t seems a shame that the Nationals
pitching staff is in such weakened con-
dition at this important stage of the
campaign, as McAleer has been depend
ing on making a killing on the road
against the clubs which he considers
much weaker than the ones he has beer

Discusses games.

AlSNAcsGc kdIlACb
Judging by the comment in the Balti-
more papers, the athletes feel about the
same as We expressed in this column
yesterday relative to the South Atlantic
championship meet at Georgetown Field
on Saturday.
Jack Carroll, in the News. declares he
was particularly disappointed at seeing
less than 100 persons pay to see a
championship set of games. and asks
that the meet be kept in Baltimore in
the future.
Now, as a matter of fact. I do not
believe that keeping the meet In the
Monumental City would mean any great
Improvement. The entry list was SO
small on Saturday that several OF the
events just had three men starting. and
under those conditions the officials
could hardly expect any great throngs
to turn out.
Something will have to be done to
stimulate interest in field and track
sport in the association, or further fail
ures may be expected.

AFTER BURGLARS.

Deputy Sheriff Peterson went to the desert country yesterday. armed with warrants for the arrest of one Juan Doe and Ricardo Roe, who were wanted for breaking into the house of D. K. Eldridge, recently. Jacob OttersOn. a homesteader, was arrested some time since on this charge. but there was no evidence that Mir. Ot- terson had ever broken into anybody's house, or that he had ever taken any thing which did not belong to him. MT Otterson had resided there a long time. but nothing was ever found in his possession that he did not have good title to. In the case of Doe and Doe. the goods were found in their possession, by Mir. Eldridge. which relieves MT. Otterson from any suspicion in the case. While about it, MT. Peterson kept lookout for anyone who might possibly be i'm plicated in the Mesa Dairy X Ice Co or the A. X F. depot burglaries.

Together With Other Attractions Are
 Here for the Week.

"Beasley's Ye O,ue rnglIsh Fair company" carrying five main shows, d Ferris wheel and half a dozen other attractions. is now quartered on the vacant lots just south of the Laird IS Dimes drug store and will spend the rest of this week in Tempe giving shows each evening
 The visit of the company. according to Robert C. Beasley. the manager. is the result of a force of circumstances, rather than intent. A few weeks ago the company jumped from Nogales to the Gila valley, intending to show through the towns there on to Globe. then jump from Globe by stage to Winkleman. taking in that. place. Hay den and Ray. and then on to the Salt River valley. The company. however. found the cold up there So intense that it was impossible to do any good, so without any advance billing whatever the Gila valley dates were cancelled and the jump made to Tempe From here Mir. Beasley plans to go to the Hayden district. then back to Phoenix and on to Needles for the big Indian carnival which is held there each year in January
 The company carries a large force of people and some first rate shows. more detailed mention of which will be made later in the week
 One of the features is the tent Of big snakes. These snakes are big. too. in the truest sense Of the word. One is nineteen feet long and at the present time tips the scales at 19O and in a few month more will probably reach 250. The snakes just now are torpid and require nothing at all to eat.

BURNED TO DEATH.

Word has been received here of the fatal burning of the two and a half yCar-olj on of Mir. and MT. J. A. Ar menta. former well known Tempe resi- dents. at their home at Casa Grande a few days ago. It seems that the chiEI with other playmates had gath cred together a quantity of scrape and weeds and the children had with this material built a bonfire The match had hardly been applied when the in flammable material of the childs clothing caught fire and in a moment the little one was a mass of flames. Sc rapidly did they progress that an uncle of the boy. who was attracted by his screaming. was badly burned about the hand and arms in his effort to eX- tnguish the flames.
 According to the account Of the ac- cident as given in the Tucson Star. the baby was hurried to the Armenia house where il was stripped of it's burning clothing. The mothers efforts to relieve the babv'S pain, however, met with no success for the burns were of d more serious nature than even he imagined. Neighbors assisted with their crude first aid methods. retired trained nurse living six miles cut of town was sent for and Dr. Schrader of Tucon telephonei for. but the effort of all were unavailing and the child died without having had quiet or unconcious moment since the fire in the forenoon. eight hours earlier
 The bereaved parent have many Tempe friend who will be grieved to learn of their loss under such dis dressing circumstances.
