ty-yards event. There were several
scratches in this race and the talent di-
v!ded their favor between Joe Diebold
and Bob R. The latter finished third and
might have won had he gotten away
good. Ada won the initial dash for two
year-olds, defeating Peacock, the favor
ite, after a hard drive up the stretch.

,e and Miller Desert National League for the Federals
WAR ON FEDERAL LEAGUE.
Three-I May Ask National Commits
sion to Take Action.

Bloomington, Ill, Dec. so-It is said that
a number Of leading players OF the
Three-I League have been solicited to join
the Federal League. Some fear Is ex-
pressed by the magnates that number
may accept terms and abandon the clubs
under the national agreement.
The Bloomington association will prob
ably appeal to the Three-I at the mid
winter meeting in Chicago next month.
The Federal League harbored number
OF contract jumpers from the Three-l
last season, and. unless a disposition is
shown to return these men, recommen-
dation may be made in the National Com
mission that the Federals be declared an
outlaw organization.
1t is also known that players under
suspension by Quincy also played with
the Federals last season.
Should 1t develop that the Federal
League is not disposed to be friendly to-
ward clubs in the protection OF the ma
tionaI agreement and is secretly trying to
induce players to jump their contracts,
the Three-I may take the Initiative and
insist that the National Commission take
action.
The Washington herald., 1913-12-31

The officials of the Federal League say
that they will be behind any of their
players in the event of legal action, but
they neglected to say how far behind.

IT'S NJ PLACE
 FOR A FAMINE
A. Redcwill, Speaking of Surroundings of Quay mas, is Inclined to Dis credit a Dispatch from Nogalcs Yesterday

A Nogalcs Associated Press dispatch yesterday morning, the information be- ing evidently gathered from constitu- tionalst sources described Il famine at GuaNmas and general disaster to the fcderals. A. RcdcWiH who is familiar with Guaymas and it's surroundings speaking of the dispatch yesterday said:
 The correspondent of the Associated Press must have imbibcd pretty freely of mescal and talked through his som brcro when speaking of an impending famine in Guaymas
 No famine can ever come to place where Garbanzzo (chick- pca) and fri jolas grow so abundantly and hardly without cultivation.
 In d district, south of Quaynas. near AIamos, one years crop of Garbanzo yielded one million dollars-and every where, throughout that rich country, frijolas and garbanzo grows even on house roofs and cement walks
 Also fish is so abundant in the bay of Guaymas. that they sell at five cents d pound The oyster beds seem inex- haustible, being miles in extent and the price is but forty cents sack GOO oysters in d sacHD

and Nermosillo grow without cultlNa- tfon and the supply being far beyond the demand, they retail at , to 1Oc per dozen CMexican money) or 90 cents per hundred picked off the trees. Now about milk selling for 5000 per gallon that is as incredible as the famine story. I induced ST Julian E. Leon, the represcntative of the RedeWilI Music CO. in Guaymas to visit Phoenix some three years ago He bought while here, two car loads of milk cows, and subsequently ordered more. MT. Van Kirke of this city was the seller. l in- duced also NJ Escalante and L. Boil var to come with like object in view and others did come and again. Van
 Kirke furnished the car loads of milk COWS The cows. bought prices varying
 from S65 to s15O, were sold in GuaYmas
 a $500 to S45O pesOs-NOW. why should
 there be q scarcity of milk in GuaNmas
 to have it sold at S gallon is myStI-
 fving I think the Associated Press
 agent meant 50 cents not B per gallon.
 In a beautiful city like Guaymas-
 which is about one third the size of

 "Speaking of Guaymas recalls his torical incident: When MT. Gadsden representing the United States. made a treaty with Mexico in September 1S53-nearly 50 years ago-Whereby Arizuma Gas it was formerly Called)- was ceded to our country he made strenuous efforts to secure a strip ot country to include Guaymas: but he was not sustained by congress and thus the most important feature in the trea- ty was omitted-a port for Arizona or ] the Gulf of California.

IMPENDING CHANGE IN CLOCKS


 The coming use of wireless tele- graphy in time regulation is giving the c1OckmakerS of England much to speculate about at the present time Some of them profess to see a com ing age of wOrkless clocks that is to succeed this cIockWOrk age. the one we live in. That is to say. instead of each clock trying in it's own small way to keep exact step to the march of the minute by means of it's own little paraphernala in pendulum spring and cogNheel, there will exist system of master clocks, one in every great center. taking the time from the Greenwich observatory minute by minute, through wireless antcnnae, and in turn passing it on to the community of smaller clocks all of which will be part of one apparatus.
 This sounds almost as Jules Verne like as leaving word with Greenwich observatory to call one at 6:30 o'clock The immediate question is rather that of the extent to which q spark sent out to all points simul- taneously would benefit the keepers of accurate time. If it were worth while, d student of the subject says, it would be perfectly feasible to regulate any number of clocks with in the wireless radius by means of half minute spark impulses.
