TEMPE SHOWS UP THE
 PIRATES 0F PHOENIX
1t Was Lop sided Game That Opened Partly Opened-1914 Season
 Arizona League

Very Special to The Republican,
 TEMPE, March 29.-In between showers. Tempe and the Phoenix Pirates managed to celebrate the opening of the season of the Central Arizona baseball league with a game. Considering that the score was 17 to 3 in favor of the Bears, it was an exciting game. No one knew who would make the next bonehead. Though it was generally conceded that odds should favor the Phoenix aggregation to make the error.
 Captain Bill Barngrover twirled the first five innings, until he was tired lobbing them over, and then Oviedo went in to get warm. It was quite chilly sitting on the wet bench.
 Dabrie started the game for Phoe- nix but was replaced by Godfrey after 3 13 innings of calamites.

Committee Meets With the Riders and All Agree to
 Push for Greater Race Next Sunday-New Rules Announced

Now it's next Sunday. The rains the reason. The Phoenix Motorcycle clubs one hundred mile race on the Arizona state fair track is laid over until Sunday, April 5.
 In the dim distant past, a chap called Nero was accused of malic- icusly setting fire to a burg callet Rome Gee! He was well cussed for it. The rage of the populace was enough to wrack the heart strings of anybody but a determined and strong minded debauchee like this Nero. But it didn't set him back any. He just sat tight and let 'em rave. He saw next Sunday.
 Then, when the wrath of the mob had subsided. this crafty sport got them all together and put them to work tearing down the dobe houses and building some great big marble palaces. Sums gave way to neat tenements, which are a blame sight better investment than shacks.
 We'll, that is just the way it was with the motorcycle race. Only the marble palaces are only being blue printed by the architects now. But with the help of the motorcycle club doubling as the Roman mob, the committee-which plays the leading role of Nero-will go down in history

CARNIVAL MAY COME OR
 NOT; RING CONTEST ON

With all the noise about the Campbell United Shows coming and the stories to the contrary, the con- test for the $125.00 diamond ring to be given to the most popular lady in Phoenix by the baseball club and the Campbell shows goes merrily on. The ballot boxes are located at the Adams and Ford hotel cigar stands, the Anheuser and Hoffman cigar stands, the Busy Drug Store, Berry hills, Herzberg's. the Boston and New York stores.
 The ring is on exhibition at HerZ- bergs and is worth walking a mile tc see. There is a rush to get in line with a candidate and to help the Phoenix ball club to get lined up early in the season. The boys were all on deck yesterday with their new togs on, when the clouds opened up on them. And the way that they rushed for cover would make Long boat, the sprinter, look like a turtle.

 For with another week in which to prepare the committee can make the race deserving of all those bigger and better adjectives that the circus poster uses each spring.
 Meetings
 There were more motorcycle meet yesterday. While it was yet fair and balmy as the usual Phoenix day. the riders clustered about their ma chimes hurrying through the final touches. Special bulletins, from the track had it that the oval was hard and solid as a cement floor. Let's race" pleaded the riders. Don Johns, who arrived in the morning from Los Angeles added his word to the others. Everybody wanted to race. But the committee preferred not to take the big financial chance on yesterday, and its judgment proved sound. Because about the time the leading rider would have been check ed through his steenth mile, it began to come down by the sky-full again.
 Then the committee, most of the riders and a number of club mem- ters cOngregated at DOnofrio's to talk it over. Following a heated ses- sion of the committee, cooled some what by orders of ice cream, a new set of rules was announced to the gathering, and the gang was urged tC stick with it another week. The gang promised to do this.

 The case of Senator Clarke of Arkansas was practically settled in the state primaries this week and two weeks hence the Alabama pri maries will decide whether Under wood or Hobson will be sent to the senate. At the same time Alabama will choose a short term senator.
 Of the democrats whose terms will expire one of the most notable is Hoke Smith of Georgia, who expects to return Gore of Oklahoma, also expects reelection, though he has a hard fight on his hands, Another able Democrat who will seek re- election is Senator Newlands of Nevada He is popular in his state, but whether he can win out in general primary remains to be seen. Senator Chamberlain of oregon ap- pears to have a good chance to re- turn, although a number of opposi- ton candidates are already in the field.
 According to reports received the path to reelection will not be all together a smooth one for Senator Sherman of Illinois, Shively of Indi- ana, Stone of Missouri Jones of Washington, Dillingham; of Vermont or Gronna of North Dakota.
 The other members of the United | States senate whose terms will expire
 next March and the majority of whom i appear reasonably sure of reelection
 are F. B. Brandegee of Connecticut, J. 1 R. Thornton of Louisiana, c. S.

 The present membership of the sen
 ate stands 51 democrats, 4S republicans and 1 progressive The body is certain to remain democratic until March 4 1917. The elections of senators to take place this year will not detract from the democratic majority, and in fact may add one or more to the voting strength.

and a ballyhoo horn and went around town during that pleasant sunny noon hour, yelling that there WOULD be a ball game. and insisting in the face of the clements that the fans should go to Grant Park to witness it. The Rain God made him out a f:bber. for just as things looked fine for a game, then came more ominous clouds, pattering preliminary drops and then the huge moist gobs of that life giving substance that is so bridges.
 The glooms that crowded the skies were as nothing to those which permeated every nook and cor per of baseball headquarters at Baum's pool parlor Of course there were few who made the stereo- typed remarks about how good it was for the crops, but these were in a hopeless minority, and beside it was too depressing to smile.
 They have called George Walter Brown about everything from the perambulating toothpick to the hu- man cigarette, but now they have new name for him. It is Dumps" Crouch would be another good way the fans under shelter and watched the water dribble down, saw the ravements get splotchy, turn to dark shiny gray and then become raging floods, and no word passed his mouth He looked with midnight eyes upon a scene of desolation, and then after having wrapped some grains of tobacco and lighted one end of it, said,
 wen have the league opening next Sunday
 This was horse e-sense-sea horse sense Everybody greeted the saying as something wise beyond the nature of modern man. Everybody agreed with him. So old Daddy Rain liter ally kicked the baseball games into the-not the middle-but the very tail end of next week.
 Weather permitting, Baum will work out the Senators every after noon between now and the first game. With one southpaw and two right handlers now in his pitching list he feels that he has established a fairly strong team. Counting the other huskies whom he distributes about his in and outfields, he has about the likeliest lineup in sight. Barrett is the name of man who will undoubtedly be numbered among l those who contribute to Phoenix baseball victories in the coming sea : son. He will be named in the box scores with a capital 'P" after his name, meaning he is a twirler.

paign will be continued throughout the week. Everybody will be asked to chuck his coat and vest and push for it is matter of club, not to say civic pride now, not to allow the race to skid into the canal. At a meeting of the club Tuesday night the members will be requested to fasten certain flaring banners to their machines, making of each two wheeler a living, breathing advertise ment of the race. A short motorbike parade will be held some night this week, in order to convince the public that the racing is not entirely suf- located. The pulmotor has been ap- piled and the patient is now resting as easily as might be expected under the well known circumstances.
 Don Johns and E. G. Baker met face to face in the meeting and no one was hurt. Not even an innocent bystander Nothing flew but the two right mitts which met and olasped friendlily. This is not a promise that one or the other or both of these enthusiasts will not be up in police court for fighting. Be cause both agree they are rivals of
 the most feudful sort. While Johns
 is here figuring on the hundred
 miller, he and Baker will row it out
 between them about a match race
 to be run in connection with the automobile races here during the Sun Fete. The coast visitor has promised to remain in Phoenix until then, at any rate. And it will bt odd if the two straddlers do not come together in some sort of 2 wheel-to- wheel conflict before the, go their ways.

Thirty-two Togas to Be Bestowed Before End of This Year by a Direct Vote of the People of the United States
POPULAR PRIMARY
 WILL DROP MANY
One of the Most Notable Who Will Retire One Year Hence is Elihu Root, Senator from New York
Especial to The Republican,

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 29.- Between now and the end of the year thirty-two United States sena- tors are to be elected by direct vote of the people. The election by direct vote is expected to bring about some changes in the upper house. for among the members whose terms are to expire next March are several who probably could be returned if the election was still in the hands of the legislature but who will find it pretty difficult to win a popular primary.
 One of the most notable of the senators who will retire a year hence is Elihu Root of New York. MT. Root is one of the most com manding figures on the republican side. and should his party return to power he would be the recognized leader of the upper house. But be- tween the democratic and progressive doubtful.
 Penrose of Pennsylvania is another prominent senator who will retire next March unless he is reelected If he wins the republican nomina- tion in the primary next month he will have to defeat A. Mitchell l Palmer. democrat. and Clifford | Pinchot. progressive, at the polls 1T November.
 Albert B. Cummins, one of the big men in the senate, will face tn, mixed republican and progressive sentiment in Iowa. Theodore E, Burton of Ohio is another notable
 republican who will have a hart race for a return.
 Joseph l.. Bristow of Kansas alst
 has a hard fight on his hands. Si,
 aspirants are now in the field fol 1 his seat, among them such wei
 know political figures as former
 Senator Charles Curtis, republican
 and Victor Murdock, progressive. l The venerable Senator Gallinger ol New Hampshire, leader among tht
 stand patters, is not likely to return
 The election of a democrat to sue
 ceed him is among the possibilities. Senator Bradley of Kentucky is an
 other republican who will probably
 be succeeded by a democrat, either Governor McCreary or former Gov ernor Beckham.
 Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin
 now in his eighty fifth year, is moi
 expected to be a candidate for re-
 election, though he has made no an
 nouncement to that effect. Severa
 candidates to succeed him are al
 ready in the field, among them Gov

Nope" said the Rain God. And they didn't.

And they didn't.
 Yesterday was just three things after another. Rain, baseball and motorcycle meetings. If all the wat CT in the world had descended upon the city of Phoenix yesterday, the two big sport events that were to have happened during the day could not have been more completely drowned out.
 Everything that went for yesterday goes double for next Sunday and takes in the lookout. The Central Arizona Baseball League will have its formal opening just one week from yesterday at three o'clock. This was what President George W. Brown decided after the damage had been done.
 Mesa, believing that the worst of the storm had passed, came over in a body to lick the Senators. About dozen neat gray suits, never before worn by any ball player, were draped on the forms of the Phoenix team only to be thrown back into sundry trunks with other useless things ana many bad words. With the carniva shows held up, the first baseball game done away with, and every thing else looking just as cloudy Manager Baum, of the Phoenicians had cause to wear a frown. Pau J. Langowski who beside putting III for a trip to Phoenix for the Jewels faces the possibility of seeing his biz White Sox game on Tuesday aban- doned in the middle of a large ant juicy swamp, also had justification for a bitter look on his ordinaril, merry face.

That arrived for Manager Lango wski of the Mesa Jewels yesterday. It indicates that there will be plenty of playing material on the ground for the big exhibition game tomorrow after noon.
 And
 The ground on which the game will be played is a matter of some pride to Langowsli now. The rain of yester- come at a more oportune moment, for the diamond had just been graded and was dusty But the little drops of water hitting little grains of sand, make baseball diamond that is just simply grand. So LangoWski should NOT worry.

LANCASTER, PA, May 25, l!

LANCASTER, PA, May 70, 1914.
This was the month set apart by the
packers and cigar manufacturers of
this section for revival of business,
basing their expectations on the con-
ditions that prevailed last year, when
Nav witnessed a decided change for
the better. General conditions over
the country, however, are not the
same, and to these, doubtless, is now
due the disappointment that this month
has brought. That the cigar industry
is very dull is very generally admitted,
even the factories that have all along
been fairly busy being now on the
slump. Much of the trade that the big
establishments have comes from the
West. Collections are not easy, either.
With the exception of the 1909 to-
bacco, which does not figure much in
the market, the local packers are not
overstocked with old goods, these be-
ing mostly 1911 and 1912. The 1910 to-
bacco left does not cut much of fig
ure, and the prices on the 1911 and
1912 goods are considered much below
what they ought to be in order to give
decent returns on the money invested.
Those tobaccos were not cheap in the
beginning, and at the prevailing prices,
145 to 16 cents, with Is cents as the
average price, the margin of profit is
so small as to be negligible Of the
1912 crop barely 25 per cent was held
by local packers who were late start
ing to buy, as they had their 1911
packing intact when the 1912 crop was
selling. The local men have their share
of the 1913 crop, however. In fact,
they hold the major portion of it. The
new crop has been pretty well bought
up, but what remains will not be
bought cheap, as it is held by growers
who can afford to wait.
