All the four most prominent Phoenix dealers are going after things with all the determination that's in 'em- For instance, J. H. Lane, of the Phoenix Cycle company has received a new Harley tWo-Speed twin, specially ordered so it would be here in time for Harry Lane to ride in the Mile High trials. Loren 20 Boido has already grown familiar with the Indian agencys short cou- pIed stock race. Joe O'Connell, while a lot of pep into an Excelsior. Among the Merkel riders mentioned as en- tries in the race are Harry Crandall Johnny Albright and Frank Sellner, the latter winner of second in the 100 miller back of Don Johns
 The fund appropriated for the use of the competition committee is to be used as the Phoenix clubs part in the purse of S25O which will reward the four winners. Money for sane tiOn, and for expenses of preparation the numbers, flags, checkers, etc, will be raised in another manner.
 Race promoters of Phoenix and Prescott are already in communica- ton over the big AllArzona stunt. and some important announcements will be ready after Sunday, when the Phoenix competition committee will go in a body to Prescott to confer with the managers for the Yavapai f Motorcycle club.

 F0R- THE FAIR
 RAGE MEETING
California Exposition Horse Trots Next June Will Bring Many Good Ami mals Here to Train and Will Elevate Fall Races
By "SCOOP."

More class for the fall race meet, and a stable of workers out during the winter are two big prospects for the Arizona fair track In the words of Charles Dobry, fanatical follow CT of speed,
 Its about time!''
 With one of the finest winter eli mates in the world, and The best in the United States, it is a shame to waste such a totally desirable mile ot well packed earth as they have at the fair grounds. The week or two each year that the track is used does not nearly measure the extent of it's usefulness.
 The big racing meets, starting in June on the coast next year, d part of the two great world fairs, are po- tent factors in the development of our own track Had the fair com mission kept the track in order last winter, at least four of the famous grand circuit horses would have been wintered in Phoenix rather than in the south California stables Sid Goldman's King Daphne was one and OuE 1ttOIel was dQOllle4 the CldS- sy gee ,ges we might have had here all winter long. Then there were Arizona horses-at least dozen that would have been trained here while eastern tracks were frozen marshes during the cold months.
 It is learned that the edict has gone forth now to keep the tack ir working order all the time, winter summer and spring as well as during the fall. Manager Raby of the track and grounds is equipped with tht best of tools, has men and teams available at al times, and there i: no reason why the oval should bt neglected.
 It is the long jump from the east ern and southern tracks that is mak ing Phoenix so popular for winter Ing horses for the Exposition meet in California. A good wise owne will not ship his cattle two or thre thousand miles. just before set 0 attractive racesss if he can with equa ease keep his animals within a fey hundred miles of the track on whic the meet is to be held.

The third time was a charm with the St. Elmo billardist. for he de- feated his opponent Curl by a score of 219 to 32 last night. And better still, he left his lay so he can make another high run tonight when the game is resumed.
 This leaves Curl, who is playing for 50 points a night IS points be- hind on this evenings game. Cation played last night in his old time style, going out in IS innings with high runs of 5S and 47. He has the ; balls in perfect shape for a contin- uation of his long run again this evening.

 E.COMMEN

Many tributes have been paid to Fearless Bake, the famous motor cycle racer who was killed in prac- tice at the Hawthorn track near Chi cago, June z. But few are so pro- found as that of his racing compan ions and rivals, when they refused to go on with the days meet, after learning of the death of the cham pion. In the confusion of interests the track managers demanding speed to satisfy the slim crowd that was present to watch for accidents on this notorious death track-the clubs impatient that their program be car ried out-the manufacturers anxious to see their makes tried-the riders themselves, craving the excitement of their competition-ail these failed to sway such men ssas Perry, the Goudy Brothers, verriII, Glen Stokes. They retired from the track and nothing would influence them to return that on the incident praise these chaps, which is as it should be.
 c. B. Wood, superintendent of speed. We rather like the title, though it might prove hard to re- cognize our old friend the senator from Osborn by such totally classy cognomen. See Bee makes a pretty good speed master, and if he just pulls off his fast events next yea as well as he did last, the next an nual excitement will leave nothing to be desired. +l
 "As between "A" and "U'' That was the little headline over the tale of Kansas City's two victories over the league leading Baltimores Tues day. In explanation, would say that it was intended to convey the idea that Baltimore's only claim to being in the lead in the Federal League after those two defeats was because the second letter, ''a' came before 'u,' which is the second letter of Buffalo. Now will develop a pretty race in that new league. It is too bad that Brooklyn cannot be way ur there, to make it a race between the three "B" teams,

fectly good International Polo tro- phy which Great Britain wrested from the overanxious hands of the MeadoWbrook four the other day. It would be more like the general American international athletic spirit to say, Keep it if you can, and look out for your other mugs, for we're coming right after them!"
 GOOD old race! If we wanted to be accused of being subsidized, we would say that a certain new amuse- ment place not a thousand yards from our main little rivec is play ing hob with many a plan Why somebody actually accused the afore- said amusement place of taking so many of Phoenix's pleasure seekers that it would be impossible to hold a motorcycle race at the state fair grounds Sunday.
 If we were named Bill Greig, and We started out to borrow half of an . ether chaps motorcycle to add to the half we possessed in order to make up one full machine to drive to drive to Prescott on, we believe we should make deep inquiry into the huskitude of the mentioned borrow = ed parts. Bill, you know, accom- panied by w. Wootton and Larry McManus-all Republican carriers essayed to ride over the Phoenix to Prescott course. They rode as far ,, as Prescott and back as far as Con- gress Junction. Then they abandon ed one machine and rode a little
 more. Finally they were down to
 walking, and as a last resort caught
 q moving train. Ignominious entry. We believe they now have most o the different parts of the three ma 1 chimes back in Phoenix.
 Outside of that, they had a per 1 fectly good time.
