Among the many festivities that are marking the last of the old year and ushering in the new comes the motorcade from Phoenix to Tucson, which starts Friday morning at goo o'clock, January g. 1914. This prom ises-. to be one of the most enjoyable events of the new year.
 The entertainment and arrange ments committee has already started it's work and with pleasure is watch ing Harry Welch register the names and other descriptions of those who are going to participate. They are also noting that he collects two dol lars per head to defray the ex- penses of a dance and entertain ment that will be given by the Phoe- nicians to the Tucsonians on the evening of Saturday, January 10th, 1914, in return for a dance that will be rendered by the club of Tue son the previous night.
 Many valuable cups and trophies will be given as prizes in the run and the committee has announced the following as part of the list, all of which have been donated. thereby leaving the two dollars still intact:
 Car consuming the longest time in completing the run.
 Car displaying the best manners to it's fellow participants.
 Car consuming the most gasoline and water
 Car destroying the largest quanity of rubber. air and oil.
 Car containing the greatest num- Der of unmarried and unengaged maidens fair. Temporary divorce sufficient qualification
 Car carrying the largest number of human lives safely from the pearly gates of Phoenix into the loving em- brace and heart of the old pueblo.
 Car delivering it's occupants at the Santa Rita hotel with the neatest, cleanest and healthiest personal ap- pearance. (This applies to either the car or those riding in it)
 The motorists will serve d lunch con at Florence where short stop will be made
 The Tucson run has always here tofore been looked forward to with great pleasure and tthe committee guarantees that this tip will so far surpass all previous ones that if there is a single dissenting vote Al Moore will promptly be offered as a forefeiture and sacrifice and be made to suffer some of his own medicine It is hoped that at least one hundred cars will participate in the run anC nothing is being left undone by the receiving club to assure everyone q great time
 If there are those who have re. mained immune from the auto. disease but would like to make the trip inform your neighbor that vol are going with him, but should ht not seem over-joyed at the though purchase car or a railroad ticke for yourself and feel that the fur awaiting you in Tucson will nor, than repay you for going But, but be sure to register with Harry ant leave the two dollars, because yol are unable to imagine how much thi! act Will add to your fun as well a! to that of the invited guests in Tue son who will enjoy the hospitalit, of Phoenix in return for their owi welcome

WYE LA SPORT! SALT RIVER VALLEY Is
 LEADER IN ATHLETICS OF THE SOUTHWEST

It started with the 1913 round of the season of 1912-1913, which, by the way, was the first complete schedule ever attempted by local league. The $. R. V. Bowling league included six teams of five men each, was well backed and handled. The league was recognized and is now finished with it's 1913 rounds. There will probably be hiatus in the schedule, owing to the fact that the alleys are being torn out to make room for an eX- elusive pool and billiard hall. The Y. M. c. A. league is now started and is operating with six three men teams 0n the association alleys.
 Scholastic Athletics
 High school athletics in the state have marched forward more in the year past than in the five years pre- ceding that time. They have made great strides toward the front in all ways, and the advance movement on , that increase came with the inaugur- 1 alton in Tucson of the annual uni versity week.

The enthusiasm and rivalry of the schools of the state was vastly 1 increased. and better bigger and more thorough meets in the future are assured
 i But the marked advance in the high schools sports came with the 1 opening of the football season in the fall. At that time all the high schools in the state, with the excep- tion of Mesa and Tempe. entered teams in the field and announced their intention of competing for the state championship.
 Phoenix came to the front with a score of green kids. most of whom did not know a football from a per simmon. They hired Francis S Geary to coach them. They worked long and hard. and they put out the championship team of the state. But
 they hit the climax in football en-

A discussion of the sport of PhOe- nix for the past year would cover practically every variety of that great indefinite part of modern life were it to be complete and search ing. There is no form of the diver sion we call sport" that would not be listed, except perhaps, those which can take place on the high seas and no other place If we in clude this water stuff, as a class, however Phoenix is there like duck. Neat metaphor, that.
 The sport of Phoenix is divided into two great classes. One is in digenous sport and the other is inn ported or transient Under the lat ter head come such sports as auto, horse and motorcycle racing. Of the former are boxing, baseball, tennis, golf, football, basketball and All the rest. Roller polo is a late addition.
 By far the most important sporting event in the year just passing was the motor racing program at the state fair, Next comes the base ball. Boxing has had a precarious ! were.
 Baseball
 We take up baseball first because it was going before any other sport had attained popularity in the early spring. Two great events marked the baseball year, the formation of the Salt River Valley league and it's late demise. Of the two the demise was the more important. Early in the spring the signs of baseball be- gan to be seen in the valley. The unrest was crystallized into the league, in which the four strongest teams took part, representing three of the most important towns: Mesa, Tempe and Phoenix. The league solidified itself in the hands of four club owners. resident and secre- tary. built parks in three towns, made teams out of local and i'm ported material, and played d sched- ulc of games lasting the greater part
 of the spring. summer and fall. Three important outside teams weTa
