which one summer ago was affording
unbounded delight to young and old
of the Coney celebTatOrs. When VIII
liam Rock started building the elab-
crate Coney Island setting of The
Candy Shops" second act, he made
the discovery that it is beyond even
the wonders of stagecraft to produce
a satisfactory counterfeit of this tor
tuous and involved piece Of architec-
ture But a Coney Island without a
"chutes" would be as lamentable at
mospherically as a circus without pea
nuts Rock worried awhile over balk-
ed efforts TO fake the slide" then
went and bought a real one. The
bulky. awkward and heavy structure
costs a lot TO haul, but Rock
does not begrudge one cent
of il. for he considers The
effect OF shooting his stage Coney ISL

the best and most original of the half
hundred novelties he has crowded in

 his way through broken fields twice and once, didn't stop lodging until
 he had placed the ball squarely un der the goal posts.
 More nearly evenly matched on weight than the Indians, the Tem- pests stood much less show against the locals than did the Braves. This was mainly due to weakness in de- fensive work that can be corrected by more games. The Tempe offen-
 sive stuff is fine and flashy. Being ball players from away back, they
 are the passing kids, and ought to get any team on the jump if they get near an even break with their wide open formations. Phoenix tried five times as much passing as in the ludian game, and made rather a poorer showing. The two teams showed very clearly the different 1 methods of the two coaches, Geary
 has developed a fast interference and an awful good bucking backfield
 while Jennings has concentrated on fakes and passes. Still, yesterday s game was not 8 fair test of the two styles of play. Both lines seemed to
 prefer lodging to holding. although ! astOnishingly few plays were balled ! ur by linemen getting through.

 Every inducement made to Louis Chevrolet since his retirement from the racing game to bring him back had failed until Cliff Durant, of Los Angeles, son of the president of the Chevrolet Motor Company wrote to the factory officials that the Desert Classic" is the greatest race in the world. It was sentiment, not greed, that was effective in this case. No amount of purse money could have prevailed, but an official title pro claiming world supremacy met with consideration.
 Chevrolet, who is forty years old, received his early experiences with the Fiat world beaters. He is said to have in his possession more cups and medals emblematic of race vic tories than any other driver in the world Competing in Europe he made a clean sweep of all honors and in America appeared as driver of the MatheWsOn Six before joining the Buick forces. He won the Coca Cola trophy, Remy Brassard, Wilkesbarre hill climb, competed in the Wander bilt and International Grand Prix events, twice at the Indianapolis speedway and for years headed the famous Buick racing team with Bob Burman, capturing practically all of the shorter distance speed contests in the country.
 The medal for which Chevrolet, Oldfield, Olin Davis, Louis Nikrent, Billy Taylor and the other great western drivers will compete is the perpetual challenge trophy of the w A. A. offered this year for the first time It is the intention of the don ors that in years to come, it will mean as much to the racing world as now do the w. K Vanderbilt, Jr. cup, International Grand Prix trophy and Dick Ferris cup. The face of the medal depicts a racing car amid the sand and cactus of the desert with mountain ridge in the background capped by the jewel as a blazing sun. In blue enamel is the wording, Presented by the Western Automo- bile Association: Los AngelesPhoe- nix Road Race, Desert Classic. The inscription on the reverse side reads: The possessor of this me dal has won the Los Angeles-Phoe- nix Road Race thereby proving him self to be the master driver of the world '

He says he can put ten miles an hour on top of that when he really hits the trail, always providing it doesn't rain any more.

 Just because Kid Warren and Ben Rudderow ride motorcycles they are going to play with the motorbike team against the clerks this after noon. There has been no loud shout of "Ringers,' yet, but when one or the other of these fast young sters smites a homer or something, somebody is going to say T told you so."
 The ball game today Is an after math or some other sort of 8 math to the motorcycle sand pull at Riv- elsde park. Fifty per cent of the gate goes into the club treasury to help toward the purse for the San Diego to Phenix motorcycle race.
 The general doings start at Central and Adams at 1:30 when all pos sessors of motorcycles will be on hand to indulge in a solemn parade After the parade everybody goes down to the park to see the two wheelers buck the half mile sand course, and then to see the motor bikers and clerks buck each other in Q regular ball game.

COMMERCIALS WIN BASKETBALL SERIES
Scphomores Chase Seniors and Book keepers Hard, But Experience
 Tells in the End
Special to The Republican,

MESA, October 24-The inter class series of basket ball closed Friday at the Mesa High. The games were Eotly contested, the sophomore class running both the top teams a close race for first position. They put many plays over both other teams in many of the pinches but the eX- perience of the older players count ed in the end and they won by small margins.
 As they stood in the series: Commercial, first; seniors, second: SOphomores, third Juniors, fourth; Freshmen, fifth.
 Friday the high school team played a picked team of the Alumni and beat them to the tune of 25 to 20 Not until the last part of the last half was there anyone who wanted to go on record as saying who would be the winners. Bond of the Alum nj was a puzzle to many of the high team, as they have not yet learned to meet the cunning head work of the old war horse. But the final score though close was gratify ing to the school team.
