But Smoky Joe came back with a ven

and was on the long end Of the verdict in

Then came that never-to-b e-forgotten
1912 American League campaign, which
will live with Boston fans for a long
period and with Wood for all time, for it
was last season that Joe set a major
league record for victories that has never
been equaled. Joe won 81 games and
lost ), for the unprecedented average OF
.S72. When one stops to consider that
the Boston team won the pennant with
1876 victories and AZ defeats, a mark of
.691, one of the healthiest ever garnered
by a pennant-winnins aggregation, and
that Wood eXcelled his teams rating by
almost 900 points, or ISL. to be exact,
his achievement looms up as all the more
remarkable.
In the four years Wood has been with
a percentage of $50, while his team has
won So and lost 257 games, for mark
of SIS This gives Wood the call by rs
points over his team. And We want 10
say here and now that the Red SoX
pitching staff will be anything but weak
if Smoky Joe Wood is himself next sea-
son.

The fact that the Washington club has

its salary list to any extent. To begin

a reputation. All over Europe, he will be

LEVY ADMIRES WORK
 OF MEN IN THE PITS
Republican Man Sees Corona Auto Races and Brings Back Glowing
 Tale of Manual Efficiency.

The minute men of the pits is the subject of a glowing perOration by Joseph M. Levy, advertising nanaeer of The Arizona Republican. The reason for MT. Levy's enthusiasm is the work of the drivers and me chanics at the stands during the Corona road races on the eighth. The Phoenician was in a particularly fla VOrable place to observe the speed work of the repair men. After the Stakeholder had gone through the fence near the point at which Levy was stationed, he moved into the grandstand with his friends-for ob- viOus reasons.
 Pit work is certainly a science" said Levy yesterday. T never saw hand dexterity developed to such an extent Why two shakes after the wheels stopped turning, the casing would be yanked off. Another few seconds and the men had adjusted another one, and then it was a quick crank and away"
 Eighty miles an hour was the time of Barney Oldfield in one part of his last lap, according to Levy The big Irishman was going so fast that his immense car looked like a streak How he managed to stay on the ground with all that speed and lurching, I cannot say. The Corona track surely saw some fast work that Monday.
 q understand that Oldfield will be here for the trsc ok races during fair time. He will race an imported Renault which he had here before but which was left in the railroad car while he used the other ma chimes. We shall certainly see some classy work on the track if Oldfield, Cooper Tetzlaff and the others do as well as they did on that two mile circuit"

SAVING
 ID MAR|COPA
Card Index Abstract De vice of Assessor Bone and Deputy Shaughnessy May Be Adopted by State as Uniform Device

County Assessor g. T. Bone and Deputy Assessor Tom Shaughnessy completed yesterday the installation of a new combination card index and abstract record for the use of that office, that so pIeases the state tax commission that it may be adopted as q part of the uniform system of keeping information for all counties when such an order is issued in the near future by the state tax commits sion.
 It consists of a large two drawer e binet filled with cards giving ac- curate information as to size and val ues of every parcel of land in the county, with place to record the transfer of the same should any be made, during the time between the assessing periods. The cards are ar ranged in the drawers by township and range for the regular county run cf property, and by subdivision and addition in city property
 Already there are six thousand cards in the two drawers, in which are included those cards recording the property in one hundred and fifty subdivisions or additions to the in CorpOrated towns and cities
 IiC AGOpI q OI jIIc IIdnSlelS or real property is made on the cards every day, so that the abstract is up to tthe minute, by an employc of the office whose duty is to copy the transfers from the books of the coun- ty recorder. This alone will save the county some $7O0 each year in ob- taining lists of ownership of property
 It is estimated that when the assessing season comes around, with the complete record on hand there will be saving of almost a months time for the force of the assessor, to say nothing of the saving in money such timesaver means There are only two other counties that have any thing like the innovation of Bone and Shaughnessy, these counties are Cochise and Pima, but it is said that the local mems scheme discounts the others.

Nothing is too hard task for

Nothing is too hard a task for Constable Murphy to undertake, so the chase was started. First going to Glendale a description of the woman doing the stealing was obtained. To find such a woman was easy. The description said that the gypsy queen" was tall, handsome and auburn haired. with comparatively fair skin. That was enough.
 The general direction was next and lC! they were oVertaken at Buckeye. the band, queen and all. When ap- prised as to who the distinguished visitors in an automobile were, and that the gypsy queen" was wanted for so base a thing as the theft of ten dollars. negotiations were imme- diately opened up for a settlement. It was soon made. It cost the gypsy queen" exactly thirty five dollars to set out of the trouble, returning the ter and paying the costs of the case These instructions were received from Judge Johnstone by telephone.
