Gem City to Make Ample Accommodations for the White SoX Exhibition. Safety and Comfort Both to be Considered
Especial Co The Republican)


 MESA, March 24.-Seats for 1600 people will be provided at the Mesa ball park March 3lst when the White SoX appear here to play an exhibition game with the Mesa Jewels. The grandstand, which has capacity of 800, is being overhauled and wire netting will be placed in front so that absolute safety will be insured. Not only are the benches and grand stand being arranged to accommo- date a large crowd, but the park is being overhauled and worked over so as to insure as fast ground as pos sible It is the idea of the manage ment that the work will not be lost because the Central Arizona League players are deserving of the best grounds to be obtained anywhere
 There is another feature of the game, and that is that there will be plenty of refreshments on the ground. The concessions are owned by Leo Matthews and he is guaran- teeing to the management that there will be plenty of liquid refreshment to be had on the afternoon of the game.
 It has been practically assured that Morris will catch the game or at least a part of it. He is anxious for the tryout and on account of his batting ability and his experience with fast pitchers the team as a whole is very anxious for him to get in the game.
 Frank Goss, the pitcher signed by Langowski, is expected here this morning. He was wired transporta- | ton yesterday and it is understood that he eXepects to start immediately. Langowski considers that he has a l find in GOss. He has seen him work | in the coast leagues and is sure that he will be able to carry off the hon ors of the valley pitching staff. The I fans are ready to give him their ! support for with the departure of Goodman there remains only Camp bell. There is no question about l Campbelrs ability to equal any twirl-
 CT in the league but he can't always pitch. He needs someone to help out cnce in a while.

The 100 mile motorcycle race next Sunday on the Phoenix track needs all the support Phoenix and the state can give it. Because the club is try ing to collect dollars with which to start the Los Angeles to Phoenix motorcycle race next fall, it deserves the consideration of everyone. The more money the club takes in at the gate, the less it will have to ask from the Board of Trade Phoenix pract- cally supported the first race. and it may have to do a large share of sup porting this one.
