LIGHTING THE GAY WHITE WAY

Two millions of dollars is burned up every year for electric signs along the Gay White Way, That is the approximate income that the New York Edison Electric company re- ceives for it's electric signs The company gets most of it's profit from the smaller signs. which use so little current that they do not obtain the wholesale rate The large spectacu- lar and flashing signs get the whole sale rate and give the electric com pany an average of 5000 or less gross revenue per annum.

MOTORCYCLE
 RACE PLANS
Will Be Up for Their First Shaping at Special Meet ing of Motorcycle Club Tonight-Good Program Assured.

One more arrangement will place afternoon in the final stage, for after tonight planning will be over and work will begin. The meeting will be held in the Donofrio Indian room at SIS this evening.
 The Phoenix Motorcycle club is now in a position to back the races to a splendid success. The matter has been arranged in d businessIike way. The amateur has disappeared from the committees and the pro- fessional has taken his place. Con sequently the races will be much better handled than last year. when even though roughly handled, the event yielded a good harvest of credit to it's managers
 One of the main topics at tOnights meeting will be the subject of d clubroOm. The example of the Yav- apai Motorcycle club at Prescott with only twenty members has stim- ulated the local members with the desire to possess their own quarters for meetings and little festivities. The banquets of the nOrtherners have grown famous for their enjoyable ness, and their outside work is also proVoca tive. Consequently, the P M. C. is stimulated to unwonted activi- ty. and so far is making good prog ress toward it's hoped for strong organization.
 The work of the motorcycle and automobile clubs will be closely identified This fair when auto races and other events occupy the boards the little brothers will cooperate with all their forces to make the big stunts better Motorcycle riders make good policemen for parades and runs, and no doubt the services of the club members will be at the disposal of the larger organization in the event of need.
 The Thursday evening parade is the subject of much talk and prep aration. The way the list grows there ought to be three hundred motors in the procession, and per haps thousand kids on bicycles as escort A little competition for the prizes will add zest to the parade Decorations will tighten the process sion and make it more dignified Lanterns and streamers will show off the handsome new models to their best advantage
 There is very little stripping going on now It has been decided that in the amateur races, the machines will travel best without special adjusting which will interfere with the sue cessfuI operation in the hands of in experienced drivers

CUP RACE

HurI Challenge at Cham
pion Alameda Crew

The Pacific Association of Amateur
Oarsmen will hold special session
tonight to meet A B. Krolf of the
Hawaiian Rowing association, who
has come here to take up the matter
OF race for the challenge trophy
won by the Alameda club last year at
Honolulu.
The trophy was presented for COM
petition by the Hawaiian association
for six Dared barges, and the Alameda
crew went to the islands and won the
cup after an exciting contest by half
a boat length. Since then there has
been no race for the cup and the Ha-
waiians have sent a special repre-
sentative here to make arrangements
for another race.
The fact that the race is for six
cared boats has been the stumbling
block. The six cared barges are used
In the islands, but locally fours are
the only boats used. The cup was
given originally by the Hawaiians.
and they had a passing idea that their
crews would be able to win the race
and keep the trophy In Honolulu.
At the meeting tonight the question
of whether the race shall be fours or
skies will be discussed at length and
the Hawaiian association will be
asked to draft a deed of gift which
will properly cover all the conditions
under which the race will be rowed
in the future.

RUSSELL IS
EASY FOR
RIVERS

NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 2s.--Joe Riv-
ers of Los Angeles stepped into the
ring against frankie Russell of this
city last evening and hammered the
local lad all over the ring for eight
out of the 10 rounds. Russell was con-
ceded to be the best lightweight in
the south before the battle, but now
they admit that he is not in the class
with the Los Angeles lad
Rivers seemed to be full of pep and
snap and landed almost at will on his
opponent. He floored the southern lad
three times in the second round with
hard overland right and left swings
to the jaw. Once Russell stayed down
for the count OF seven, and he rose to
his feet very wobbly. Rivers was a
bit overanxious, otherwise he would
have scored knockout.
Russell did not seem to have chance
after the second. He was afraid Of the
wallops which the Mexican aimed at
him, and he spent the major part OF
his time in the next three rounds In
holding on in order to prevent Rivers
from flooring him again. Rivers did
practically all of the clean boxing and
displayed a Willingness to mix things
at every opportunity.
There was little action from that
time till the final period, when the
local boy came out OF his semitrance,
stood toe to toe with Rivers and ap-
parently outslugged him. They were
hammering away at each other when
the final bell sounded. but the squirt
which Russell made came too late, for
Rivers already had won the battle by
q wide margin.

OREGON LAD
IN TRYOU.T
TONIGHT

Bud Anderson, the Oregon light
back act against Louis Rees at the
Wheelman club this evening under
conditions which are very unsatis-
factory and risky for the little
fighter. The fans all remember how
Anderson was stricken with appen-
dicitis after being knocked out by
Leach Cross in Los Angeles last July.
With a rest of a little over three
months, he hopes to fight himself
into popular favor again, but the
wise ones are nodding their heads
doubtfully They don't think he is
fit to travel 10 rounds yet.
Anderson is not meeting man of
class in the Los Angeles product, but
at the same time. it must be ad-
mitted that Rees is tough one and
a very dangerous opponent for any
of them. He has punch and he can
go the route. He is liable to swing
over haymaker at any minute and
unless Anderson has entirely recov-
cItu, ne Is ilkely 10 DlOW up quiGhiys
The Oregon lad worked out all
right at his training camp, but train
ing camp stunts never are convincing.
It's the old test that counts. An
derson never figured as a clever
boxer, SO he must depend entirely
upon his stamina and his grit to
carry him through.
Bud feels all right and I never
would have signed for the match un-
less I was certain that he was fit,"
says Manager Dick Donald. Bud
has tried himself out and he says
that he is just as strong as he was
before he went under the operation
for appendicitis last July"
Rees has been instructed to tear
right in and make the pace as fast
as he can and the chances are that
he will obey his instructions to the
letter. He figures that he will have
the advantage over Anderson If the
latter Is at ali weak and he intends
to find this out as quickly as pos
sible, for he realizes that a knockout
over Anderson will be a great feather
in his cap
Neither man is fast nor clever, so
the fans can't look for any classy
work. But IL they both run true to
form there is little doubt but that
the air will be full of gloves while
they are exchanging wallops.
Before the main event goes on,
there will be several four and six
round bouts between well known
local performers.
