ELLIOTT RIDES BURNING MOTE
 PRACTICE RUN
Excelsior Expert Has An other Bun of Tough Luck. Ruddelrow Wins Stock Race Heat-Boido Si- fences Ellie Wilson

Tough Luck Ted" is the name that will probably attach to w. K. Elliott, the local Excelsior rider, entered in the 100 mile motor bike race next Sunday for after smashing a cylinder in practice. he permitted his machine to burn nearly to the proVerbial crisp, and only saved it yesterday by hard work with the sand scoop.
 It was while racing Don Johns. the premier Excelsior rider of the world that Elliott's wagon caught fire. Johns, Whirling away even with Elliott. tried to signal the nature of the disaster but the local boy was too attentive to his track, and the machine went nearly the full mile before the riders attention was called to the blaze. The natural heat of the engine caused him to neglect the sudden upspringing of tenn perature between his knees.
 Elliott was trying out the machine for the first time since it blew up on him day before yesterday. A gasket dribble down on the cylinders. It took fire and he rode along trailing ten foot blaze not knowing that anything was amiss.
 It was sprightly interesting prac- . tice yesterday. Ben Rudderow proved his riding superiority over a field of four riders by winning five mile matched race among four local riders with stock equipped machines. Rud- ; derow. Boido. Pottinger and McNew. . mounting road wagons went for five mile trial. and Rud won it in 5:24 2-5. Rodo won a mile dash with Ellie i Wilson. the two riding their own road
 sters Wilson had withdrawn from the i race because his mount. old Blue" had
 been required by its owner for utili- i tation purposes.

 competing owing to a cracked spark ] plug. Erwin c. Baker tried out his i road racer No. 23 in the San Diego to i Phoenix race. doing ten miles in practice time.
 The road is in superb shape. It is ! just like a cement floor. The dust will probably not develop to any great ex- i tent before Sunday unless the promis

 against the British in 1879, in South

 Africa in that year into Zuiuland. 1 The picture has been staged with all the scenic effects necessary, plenty of negroes to play the parts of the savage natives of Kaffirland, from which it was once said the most perfect physical specimens on the earth were found. The story proper tells of the adventures of eighty men of the Light Horse under two lieu tenants which, separated by the main body, encounters the 300 Zulus. All
 the clements of savage warfare enter into the story.

Heavenly Umpire Takes Famous Eccentric Pitcher Out of Game-MOst Won derful Pitching Career Has Ended
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

SAN ANTONIO, April 1.-"Rube' Waddell, the famous left handed pitcher, died today after being i'll for months of tuberculosis
 George Edward Waddell spent sev- enteen years in professional baseball and was noted nearly as much for his eccentricities as for his baseball ability. He pitched winning ball Tor a half dozen seasons under Connie Mack. An inability to keep in con- dition discouraged most of the other managers. and was indirectly respon- sible for the tuberculosis which caus- cd his death. AS a result of his weakness, the largest salary he ever received was $3000 year.
 There was no better pitcher than Waddell when in form, but he. as well as managers and club owners, was aware of his powerlessness to resist temptation. He got $3,000 from the Athletics with the stipula- ton that he keep in condition.
 He shared q strike-o out record in the American League with Robert Glade pitching for St Louis in 1908, when he famed sixteen Athletics, from which team Mack had just re- leased him

New Team to Take Place of Defunct Pirates Will En- ter Fast Aggregation = Winning Ball Required to Suit Phoenix
 COYOTE COACH IS MAROON'S MANAGER Will Consider Taking Over New Outfit Tempe Tray els to Tucson - Mesa Plays Baum's Team Here on Sunday Afternoon

Now all the mag mates of this league. except the two southsiders, are called Frank
 Agreeing that it was time to come out in the open with the Geary Castle union, the league voted them a fran chise and gave them until 9 o'clock Friday morning to announce their ac- ceptance and to post their $50 forfeit money. Both Castle and Geary are sure they can put a live team into the league, both having prospects that are of the best. On the other managers agreeing that Mexican players were not in the least to be objected to, Castle said he would use four of the old Maroon team. Bill Barngrover, representing Abe Lukin for Tempe. eomplimented the Maroons, saying they were the best made-gp club in last years schedule. and he believed they will furnish some classy tossers for the coming playing season. Geary will divide the authority evenly with Castle, selecting half the players and doing half the work Castle, Geary and the secretary of the league are hooked up for a conference this eyen- ing, at which time the details of the new arrangement will be settled.
 Everybody expressed complete sat isfaction at the addition of Geary to baseball in Phoenix. There is no bet ter sporting man in the city than this former star trackist and gridiror fellow. He has put high shcool ath- letics way up wonder in this city having placed the winning footbal team in the state association. He is moreover. an excellent judge of ar athlete, and, while not specially ball player, is entirely familiar witt the game. His possible partner. Gas tie. needs no introduction to the fans of Phoenix, having been captain. man ager and catcher for the Maroon' for many years.
 Tempe is considering date witf Tucson for Sunday and, with Mess playing here and the new team no vet organized, that leaves an open ing for the trip.
 Geary and Castle will today decid' on a name for the team. In case Vi' Hanny agrees to back the new out fit. it will be named after him-th' league being favorable to this propo sition.
