New System Of Matching

tons Adopted for 1916
Olympic Games is Inven-
ton Of an American


PARIS, July 1.-THE new system
for arranging heats in track athletics,
proposed by France at the recent
sporting congresses in Lyons and
Paris, has been recommended by the
International Amateur Athletic Fed
Grafton for use at the Olympic games
in Berlin in 1916 NJ. FraZ Reichel,
who brought forward the proposal,
gives an American resident of France
Charles H. Muir, credit for having
invented the system. 1t is widely
used in golf, tennis and boxing COM
petitions in France.
Its object is to keep the crack men
final, and to allow the second class
men to compete among themselves
for a place in the next round.
1t is necessary to make a list of
the competitors according to merit on
the basis of past performances. Thus
if there We're thirty-two entries, the
competitors would be numbered from
/ to 32-from best to worst. In golf.
tennis and such sports, No. ! would
meet No. 80, No. 2 would meet No.
81, and so on; and for the second
round a similar list of the remaining
competitors would be drawn up
The application to track events
would be slightly different. If there
were 80 runners and there were to
be six in a heat, the competitors
would be arranged in the following
manner in columns.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DrsPATCHJ

NEWPORT, July 11.-Better navi-
cation in a thick fog enabled both
the Vanitie and the Defiance to de-
feat the Resolute in the third trial
race This was the Vanitie's first
victory, the Defiance being beaten
only by a few seconds. The Reso:
lutte missed the finishing buoy
The Herreshof craft was searching
for the mark in the fog when the
others, sailing a perfect course, cap
tured the principal honors of the
day. The Vanitie was three minutes
ahead of the Defiance at the finish
in elapsed time, but the time allow
ance cut it to barely nineteen sec
onds. The fourth race will be sailed
Monday.

'6P0PT.:::;;;


When New York Giant fans get
wiggly over the way the almost
world champions are slumping, there's
wrong. But there's many
a slump twixt the mid-season and
the pennant, and not all of them are
fatal. 1t has been history, how teams
have led out during the early months
with a big splurge only to go way
down to the bottom of the percent
age column before the season ended.
But it has also been placed in the
records that teams-like the Giants
have slumped and slumped again,
and yet won the flag
Figuring on crowds is the best
thing the Phoenix baseball manage
ment has been doing lately. Owing to
the late start the season got this
summer, the interest of the fans in
the national sport has been lax. This
may be a local aspect of the national
depression, but we believe it is due
to the lack of education. For in
stance the fans to become vitality in
terested in each and every contest
that takes place down at the new
park, must learn that they will get
nine innings of hard fought baseball.
The first lesson has not yet been

Benzine day at the next state fair
will probably bring together the
greatest speed merchants in the west
both motorcycle and automobile
racers of note. We view with pride
the development of the motor racing
game in Arizona. Not since The Ari-
IONA Republican first pulled the Los
Angeles to Phoenix road race, has the
game received so much flattering at
tention as now. The speed sport,
which we must admit is dying out in
the east, has shown no signs of dis
solution in the west. Perhaps it is
as G. Purdy Billiard says, the west is
more vigorously and aggressively fair
in it's promotion of such sports, and
so keeps them popular At any rate.
those who attend Thursdays card at
the fair grounds will witness the
greatest aggregation of dust raising
distance despising time careless
sports ever gathered on one track.

sentence. even if it is good imi-

Assuming the shrinking violet atti-
tude, we would modestly suggest
match race during fair time, between
the winners of the Los Angeles, the
Ell Paso and the Albuquerque to
Phoenix auto races. We are so in
the habit of suggesting things, that
it comes natural to us. Indications
now point to successful Ocean to

Mexico notwithstanding the third
great road test to end at Arizona s

GOLD WORSHIPPERS
BY WILLIAM =. KIRK.

THEY slave and grind until they find
The gold they worship so
Their honest youth, their love for truth
Are OF the long ago.
God did not dream that men would scheme
And cast themselves so low.
God did not dream that men could scheme
To grasp the poors last crust
That nameess things grow 10 money kings
BY catering to lust
He had thought such stain and blot
Mans form would still be dust
Cropping and groveling day by day,
Tramplng countless graves.
These fat toads strain wealth to gain,
Driving their little slaves.
No brute held sway so cruel as they
When tusked men dwelt in caves
But millions bow to these same kings
In shameful, servile crews,
And millions praise their pompous ways
And lick their gout-filled shoes,
And still they reign and still they gain
What the poor and wretched lose.

A new method of combating the
empty church problem has been dis
covered at Joliet, III. A three weeks
campaign was organized by all the To-
cal ministers of religion Then on a
Sunday men were sent around in mo-
tor cars to stop at every house and
remind its occupants that it was 'go-
to-church day" The result was that
churches ordinarily half empty We're
overcrowded and the Roman Catholic
churches held two extra masses. Local
clergymen estimate that there will be
a permanent increase of at least % per
cent and the experiment will probably
be repeated elsewhere.
The most valuable stamp in exist
ence is said to be the "postoffice" Maui

after the postal authorities had received

given a ball. and as an act of courtesy
he sent invitations to friends in Eng

known to exist are those which were af-
fixed to the envelopes of these invita-
lions.
