Especial to The Republican,


 MESA, March 30.-When the sun over the Mesa baseball fence was Tpon the fastest diamond ever built in all the interesting history of the valley that dates back to the time when Mount Superstition was hoth- ing but a knoll on the face of the earth. Even Manager Langowski. who is exacting. passed on the park as little bit the best he ever had seen in his baseball experience, which iS some experience. There is no question that with anything less than a flood the diamond tomorrow will be in fast condition ready to aid the top speed players on their swiftest stunts
 The first automobiles over yester- day morning from the capital city reported that they had encountered some mud, but it was only a short time until a detour was discovered which made the trip one of pleasure and without the chuck holes which have been formed by the rains.
 The visitors who are to make the trip by private conveyance today should heed the following instruc- tions:
 Turn north at the first chance after passing the Tempe creamery, going east Follow railroad track road for three or four miles, or until the Tempe canal has been crossed, and then strike south to the regular Mesa Tempe road and on into Mesa. The detour was used yesterday by the several stage line drivers, who pronounced the route a little longer but much better than the old one.

Motcrcycle Meetino

All members of the Phoenix club should be at the motorcycle meeting at Donofrios tonight The riders are re- quested to bring their machines so that the committee can have a little parade. Banners will be put of all the machines for which such decorations can be se- cured. The idea is to advertise the race by every means possible in an ef- fort to bring out a record crowd to see q record smashing trial of speed.

Jewels in Shape

The local players are in prime condition for the fray. They were not worked in the Phoenix game yesterday as they were compelled to stay in the capital city until after rain was over-a terrible ordeal. They are in condition and are goins after everything in sight. The local fans are expecting them to score during the game. The original idea Of Manager Langowski to put an all Mesa team against the white hosed visitors is meeting with general ap proval and will be carried out. He will start Goodman, Goss, McGowen Campbell and Morris. As long as they are able to go at all he will let them pitch. He has his choice of Walsh or Russell either of them capable of holding their team mates to a limited number of hits.

JOHNS MILE
 IN 55 SECONDS.
Ex Rider Does Fast Prac- tice Lap; Ted Elliott Loses Cylinder; Boido Cleans Rudderow ill s. miller; Meeting of Club

Don Johns mile in 55 2-5 on his fast Excelsior was one and Boido's victory over Ben Rudderow the other feature of yesterdays practice for the 100 mile motorcycle race to be held on the Arl- zona state fair track Sunday. Riding the hard compact course like an aero plane cutting didoes in the upper stra- ta, the coast visitor astonished every body with d burst of speed that car road him around the oval in record time.
 Ted Elliott's accident with his Excel sior put one of the best local contend CTS out of the running for Sunday. Be fore he had finished his first mile, FL liottw was pained to observe that the front cylinder of his speed wagon had exploded on him, and that the engine was non compos mentis It was a pe- culiar accident in that it hurt nothing but the one cylinder of the machine. The engine is probably ruined, how ever, by the grinding of the broken parts. Elliott was coming into the stretch at a moderate clip when the break occurred: the front piston went out through the side of the cylinder. strewing the track with bits of hot oily metal. Another engine can be put in between now and Sunday, so that the best man in the local EX team can have mount for the century grind. Since last fall, when Boido beat Rud- derow in the track races. there has been considerable rivalry between the two. They fought it out yesterday on their stock machines, each riding Tourist Trophy Indians. They did an eight miller, Boido winning by less than fifty feet Round the track they went, meek and neck, first one taking the pole at the turns and then the other. Wide open, they flew down the stretches, while the small mob of watchers cheered. It was a thrilling preliminary
 The best lap was done by Boido in about 1:01. which is pretty good for machines equipped and geared for the road

Nearly forty eight hours have passed since the two higher-ups in the motorcycle racing kingdom met in Phoenix, and there has been no war yet But the lines are already being drawn. On one side are all the Indian allies and on the other the battaions of Excelsior sympa- thiZers. Personal friendship is al most forgotten, and old pals are dis putting and betting and even saying "Humph" at each other. And all ever d motorbike contest that will happen next Sunday on the state fair track. Those few who ventured 70 the track yesterday discovered an admirable place to hold a speed com- petition. The smooth clean cut oval had diied out until the surface was just r.lzackly right. The beating rain of Monday had driven the little sutters "ut of business. and the dan gerous south turn became more like a cement sidewalk than before. There will be no Death Curve" in next Sundays rat es.

News and Views of

The confines of the little but live " town of Mesa extend clear out beyond those of the valley today. The White SoX are coming. Beside being the opportunity of seeing the best baseball game in years, this day will present a chance to observe the boost code working in Mesa No ether city in Arizona ventured to call Mister Jimmy Callahan's bluff about riding straight through in a CoZy Pullman car, without seeing an, more of ArEuna tnan those inte:- mittent hunks that show in through d small window.

If Sunday was a big sport day for Phoenix" today is an equally great one for Mesa. We sincerely hope that it will not be necessary to say that Mesa's celebration got wet.

The annual convention of the Con. necticut Woman Suffrage Association will be held in Hartford Oct. 22nd and 23rd. This is an event of much inter- est throughout the state as every 5uf- frsge league is entitled to send five or more delegates according to the mem bership of the league. Reports will be given Of the progress made in the past year, and plans will be discussed for next years work. As there is hope that the suffrage bill will pass the legislature this winter, there is much interest land enthusiasm, and many sufirafiists besides the delegates are planning 10 attend the convention. A feature of the convention will be a great meeting organized by ithe sui frage association in the interest of peace. This will be in Parsons the atre on the evening of Oct 22nd. The proceeds will go to the Red Cross. The delegates from Putnam to the conven- ton will be elected at meeting of the Equal Franchise League in Odd Eel lows hall, Friday, Oct. Q, at o'clock.
 The Putnam Equal Franchise Lea que took an active part in the attempt to elect Mrs. Elvira A. Barber as a member of the Putnam school com mittee. Although the candidate WAS defeated the interest felt by the voters was shown by the fact that Mrs. Bar Der received 335 votes; 65, because not properly written in, were cast out.
 The Putnam league is planning a Rummage sale on Thursday of this week and dance on Friday in Odd Fellows hall.
 The Eastford Equal Franchise League which was organized last month with Mrs. II. II.

Vito invited number of Putnam peo- pie personally and told them 10 invite verybody. going on the theory "the more the merrier," and everybody was welcome. People who saw the fire works display say il was the best ever seen in this ,section. A Providence concern and a Boston concern were the rivals for supremacy and il was hard choice to say which display was the finest. One of the set pieces was pie ture of Columbus. Never were so many and varigated colors in fire seen as some of the large settings and the air was rent with dozens of exploding bombs. Refreshments were served. The guests had fine evenings enter tainment and MT Vito snd family en- joyed themselves in seeing that the guests were well entertained.

REASSESSING
 PROPERTY
Matter Voted Laid on Table al Town
 Meeting
Preliminary Step Taken to Have lt Done
 Later

While the matter of having the tax able property of the town reassessed was laid on the table at the town meeting Monday without more than one or two dissenting votes 1t does not mean that the matter is to be dropped altogether. In fact preliminary step towards having the assessment made later was taken. w. S. Johnson introduced a motion to have map made of all property in the town with lines, grades, etc, each piece Of proper. ty to be marked so that it's nature may be aSeertained from the map. This map will be a great benefit to the as. sessors and as stated at the meeting persons who have been consulted toward possible reassessment of property told the committee making the investigation that such a map would be essential before the work was begun. It was also stated q. the meet ing that there was considerable prop erty that was not put in the list at all and the map will bring this immedi' ately to the attention of the assessors
 Before the motion was voted upon MT. Johnson was requested to state whether his motion was to be succeed. ed by other motions along the line of having the reassessment made but he stated that 1t was not. IL was init, mated that the step was the first to be taken with that purpose in view and that after the map Is completed that the matter would probably be taken up again at the town meeting next year for action.
 The map Is not to exceed in cost Sl 900 and this was thought to be cheaper than the work could be done for .unti Engineer George W. Perry explained that he had many maps of properties in the town in his posses sion ESQ that new surveys of these would not have to be taken. II was the opinion of the meeting that such a map would be a valuable thing for the town to own as at present there Is nothing Of such nature in existance.
