LUCILLE LOVE MISSED
 TRAIN DIDN'T GET HERE
Girl of Mystery Will However be
 Here Tonight

It would seem that 3 girl who has had so much experience in getting out of hazardous and complicated sit nations would have found a way to overcome a little difficulty like miss ing the train from Los Angeles to Phoenix; but small obstacles some- times upset where great handicaps are overcome and as Lucille Love failed to make connections with the train carrying the express from Los Angeles to Phoenix on Thursday, she was unable to appear at Riverside Park last night and the big crowd of Friday night regulars were disap pointed. However, as the manage ment put on a number by that won derful Dallas Comedy Four and gave two corking good substitute reels everybody went home satisfied and Lucille will be here tonight to dem- onstrate how easily she can outwit Hugo Lubeque. The film was ship ped on the 2:30 train yesterday and will arrive here this morning.
 Here is good news for the small boy, as well as some of the larger ones. On Sunday afternoon at three o'clock 666 pieces of coin, silver, nickles and pennies will be sprinkled in the pool for whosoever will to dive for them. Just get it and it is yours.

Jphn Hohl state referee for the rederatlon of American MotorcycIists has received one of those nice. green engraved sanctions, and it gives s14 worth of permission to the Phoenix ana Southern California Motorcycle clubs to pull a road race from the coast to Phoenix. With the sanction came the regular report sheet, double size. to accommodate the names of forty racers and their records. Hohl at once wrote back to Chairman Don ovan of the committee. stating that the race was a large and growing enterprise. and that he had better have two more report sheets, as the entry list is going to be over fifty. In the matter of boosting, this is sim liar, perhaps, but a little more accu- rate, than that of the Los Angeles daily which carried a story crediting the board of trade here with having deposited $500 as a starter for prizes and estimating that the total prizes would be s4500.

SAM WEBB ANNOUNCES
 FOR THE STATE SENATE

While somewhat late in getting started there are indications now that the democrats of the county will have no dearth of candidates from which to select their candidates for the house and senate of the state at the coming primaries. The most recent announcements in this connection are those of Loren F. Vaughn, who re- gently came here from Greenlee coun- ty, for the house of representatives. and that of Sam F. Webb for the state senate.
 The field shows up well to the eyes of the free and untrammelled. Al ready there are four candidates for the senate now that Webb has an- nounced. They are Harry Johnson, who was in the last house, J. A R. Irvine, who was also in the last house, both of whom aspire to the senate this year, Harry A. Davis, who wishes to succeed himself to the position of senator from Maricopa. and Vaughn, who is the first to announce for the house.
 It is understood that D. P. Jones may be a candidate from the south side for the senate, although it is not known yet who will aspire to repre- sent the south side of the county in the house. The most recent senatorial candidate, s. F. Webb, has repre- scented the county in territorial as semblies before, and was speaker of one of the more recent assemblies. He is very popular in Maricopa county where he has lived for number of years.

Where, Oh where will a ball game be?
 That's what 1 hollereG at Francisco De Baumo at baseball headquarters yesterday. for the fearful rumor of gameless Sunday was even then shrinking my courage. and I wonder ed what the fans would do during that horrible blank afternoon. Also, l wondered what the players would do, and if they would get into mis- chief as a result of their idleness.
 Instead of an answer, I got a shruG. If De Baumo had raised eye brows, with his shoulders and had eXclaimSd "Je ne sais pas. Voila also Sacrebleu!" l could not have been more surprised
 Finally he did say, No 'savvy," which was just as comprehensive and lot less astonishing.

So Ernie Williams will haul out his six cylinder benzine buggy and take the entire ball popu- lation of the Gem City to the upper reaches of the Gila.

 Baltimore is at the top again. Or was when this was indited. The win ming and the losing of one game be- tween the Chifeds and the Baltfeds is enough to tip the beam, but we venture little prophecy that perhaps Joe Tinker's team won't always have to depend on that few victories to maintain top place.

mediate start on Pennsylvania's State
building at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition at San Francisco for which a
contract was let to Neil Mclean, of
the Golden Gate city, this week for
about $4,000. The building, which
was designed by Henry Hornbostle. a
prominent Pittsburgh architect, is uni
que in such buildings and specially
adapted to the climate. The fact that
1t will cost less than $4,000 will per-
NIT the expenditure of about S35,0O0
on establishment and surroundings.
