Los Angeles Man Appointed Yesterday by BuIlard as Starter; Fl Paso
 Check on its Way.

Two news were produced in the race headquarters presided over by President c. P. Bullard of the Maricopa motorites yesterday-the appointment of Leon T. Shettler as starter in the track races and the receipt of sundry monies from Robert H. Rhinehart. chairman of the Fl Paso race commit tee
 Shelters appointment is peculiarly satisfactory by reason of his promin- ence in coast motor circles, his experi- ence in such matters and the fact that it is a distinct courtesy to the Los An geles party in the Republican cup race. General Bullard took all these things into consideration and on discovering that Shettler would be here for the fin ish of the Los Angeles to Phoenix race he forthwith offered the office.
 FL Paso's part of the race guarantee will be here as soon as a check can squirm through by mail.

IMPORTS INCREASED IN
 UNITED. STATES
Recent Transfer of This Country from Exporting Section to Importing Dis trict is Shown in August Commerce Report
Especial to The Republican.)

Especial to The Republican)
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21.-The recent transfer of the United States from the small list of beef exporting countries to the large list of beef-im- porting countries is sharply illustrated by the August figures of imports and exports of beef and beef cattle and comparison thereof with the August figures of earlier years just made by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the department of com merce. This shows that the exports of beef and beef cattle have fallen from $44 100000 value in the months ended with August, 1904 to practically $1.000,- 900 in the corresponding months of 1913, and that the imports of cattle meantime increased from 9,357 in the 8 months of 1904 to 340,1O5 in the same period of 1913, and their value from $181,145 in 1904 to $5, ,031,8 in 1913. As to beef, the importations in 1904 were insufficient to justify their statement month by month, and the total value of beef imported for consumption in the full fiscal year 1904 was but $14,922, while the single month of July 1913, showed total importation of 642, 1894 pounds valued at $56,9 August, to-
  204: and September about an equal amount.
 Even the value of the comparatively small number of cattle exported is now less per head than in earlier years, des- bite the general advance in prices meantime. The average export price Of the 18,069 head of cattle in the months ended with August 1913, was s34 against an average of $6S for the 41S,S65 head of cattle exported in the corresponding months of 1904. On the import side there is a decrease of about 20 per cent in the valuation per head. the 0,105 cattle imported in the 8 months ended with August, 1913, be- ing valued at $15 per head. compared with $19 per head for the 9,357 cattle imported in the corresponding months of 1904. The character of the cattle imported differs. of course, radically from that of those exported, being mostly. on the export side, grain-fed animals ready for slaughtering, and on the import side, grass-fed cattle in many cases but 1 or 2 years of age. Practically all of the cattle imported, other than those for breeding purposes are brought from Mexico, that country having supplied, in the fiscal year 1913, 391477 of the 420.261 head imported for other than breeding purposes. Of the 1888 imported for breeding purposes, free of duty. 945 were from England
 Imports of beef show remarkable gains within the very recent period In the fiscal year 1904 the quantity of beef imported for consumption was 164,509 pounds valued at $14,922, against 923,37S pounds valued at $61,- no in the fiscal year 1910 and 3,957,700 pounds valued at s303. 934 in 1913. while in the single months of July and Aug ust the imports aggregated 2,394 pounds and 1,151.62 pounds respect lively and partial returns indicate that the September figures will also ap- proximate one million pounds.

Seniors Swamp Juniors in High School Inter-class Games-Full Schedule of Struggles Arranged and Made Public

The first of the games between the championship of the school and in- cidentally for the Griffin cup, opened yesterday when the seniors won from the juniors at the rate of IS to 2. The game was slow and was far from interesting or spectacular. The court was muddy and it was the first openair play the men of the teams lad indulged in this year. all of which added to the disadvantages and served to make the game poor for the spectator.
 The teams were: Seniors, Peabody and Slocum, forwards; Ladd, center, and Newcomer and Pinney, guards. Juniors, Anderson and Arnold, for wards; DeMund center, and Soule md Tweed, guards.
 For the next two weeks there will )e a continual round of basketball in he school. Four, five and perhaps six games will be played each of hese two weeks, most of them class games, but two, at the least, games f the Salt River Valley League bas- Aetball schedule, the. first of which ,omes Saturday at Mesa.
 The team of the high, the coyotes if the court, will expect to take to their dens every team in the state his season. They have all the last year men back, and they are all in he upper classes, having played with the coyotes at least two and mostly .hree years. Beside this, the high las the advantage of the Y. M. C. A. eourt where they keep in form for he game all the year round. Pfiz. Pfitzgerald physical director )f the Y, will have charge of the coyotes on the court, and there is very reason to believe that he will put out the team of the valley. He )as the material and the energy to tart work with and there is no one n the many who know Fitz who will ieny his ability as basketball :oach.
 The schedule of games for the next wo weeks in the high is as follows, all games at the high to commence at 2:45 o'clock and all at the Y to be alled at 7:30.

There will be baseball here fair week. Twill be good baseball, too. Mebbeso big league ball. What?
 Since Weston Ritchie became man ager in chief of the Phoenix baseball team, he has devoted an average of p hours a day to work for the team. The net result of his labors is as follows:
 l. Team of coast and American Ieaguers coming here for ten game ser ies beginning a week from Friday. to play to the Sunday afternoon following that glad occasion
 g. A team conserved through per iod of financial stringency, with it's in field and batteries intact.
 3. The undivided support of the business men who appreciate good baseball and are only waiting the sig nal to take some definite action on the situation.
 f. An outfield that will surpass any heretofore built up, playing both the field and the pan with great eclat:
 g. Pep Cook coming back to be backstop, but not until he has put in some good licks arranging the visit of the coast team.
