ACTRESS ENTHUSIASTIC
 MOTORCYCLIST

Her desire to explore the Rocky mountains first led Miss Claude White to become interested in mOtorcycling. And then, after that, she became so fascinated with the two wheeler, that she continues to ride for the joy of the sport itself.
 Miss White is an actress. About d year ago she made her first trip west. She was so impressed with the gran deur of the mountains that she lOnged to know them more intimate ly. But her time between engage ments at the theater was very linn ited.
 ''I tried to conceive some method of covering much territory in short length of time,' says Miss White. Walking was out of the question, and a horse almost as bad. Finally l thought of a motorcycle as the solu- tion of the problem. My friends laughed at the idea, saying that a motorcycle was not for woman-it was too heavy and too difficult to operate. But l decided to try And to my joy l found none of the troubles anticipated. It was only a matter

TEMPE, December 27.-Thc eleven inning game played on the local dia mond Christmas afternoon might in itself forecast an exhibition of class "A" baseball for this afternoon when Mesa and Tempe meet at the Mesa series, but in addition to this is the acquisition of new players by both hines and some good hard consistent practicing during the intervening two days. It is going to be a fight for blood, figuratively speaking, by the locals to avenge the defeat of Thurs day afternoon when through eleven long innings they struggled, until the ninth. with the big end of the score, and then on one too many errors lost the game by one run.
 Just who will do the twrling for the locals has not been settled. but there is probability that SOuthpaw Carlson will get first crack at it.

Jack Spikes is with the team now and there is a proba- bility that he will be back at his old position on short. If not, McCreary will be in charge between the fields In the outfield will be stationed Oviedo, A. Spikes and Castle.

 AT II AGAIN
Today is Second of Three Game Series of Baseball Games-Mesa Host to Tempe Bears for This Afternoons Contest
Especial to The Republican,

MESA, December 27.-The Tempe Bears will arrive in Mesa this after noon to meet the Mesa Jewels in the second game of the three game series recently arranged between the two teams. The first contest of the series took place on Christmas day at Tempe, and was one of the best exhibitions of the national sport seen in the val ley in many moons. It required eleven innings of real baseoall to decide the question of supremacy on that date, many brilliant and sensational plays being made From the exhibition staged at that time it is expected that the game here today will be a hummer, and a large crowd is looked for when the umpire calls Play bSll"
 The Mesa boys have been doing some faithful practicing since the first game, and are confident of taking the scalps of their opponents. Doe Good man, Mesa's star pitcher, will be on the slab for the Mesa team, with Jack Campbell, who did such good work last Thursday, on the reserve list. These two pitchers make a com bination that is hard to beat, and fans who attend the game today may expect big league ball. The following is the lineup of the Mesa team, as announced yesterday by Manager Langowsky: Morris, catcher; Good man, pitcher; Bond, first base; Core
 second base: Williams, shortstop; Halvorsen. third base; Mullins, left field; Pomeroy. center field; Holland
 right field; Shumway, Mitchell and
