Returning Heroes Take Full Measure of Gem City For midables to the Dismal Tune of 10 to 1 While Fans Applaud :.
SMILEY OFFTCIATES
 AT OBSEQUIES
Chicken Wing of Smokey Joe in Good Fettle - Plenty of Batting and Fielding Talent in Local Lineup

It certainly looked more like old times and more like Phoenix baseball so see the boys of last year in Phoenix uniforms once more taking the measure of their traditional enemies the Gem Citvans. This they did to the elegant march tune of 10 to 1, which is a pret- ty long shot on most courses In the country. But with new suits and new park. Ritchie, Togneri, Whit, Glow, Scott. Pep Cook, Smokey and Joe Smi- fey. all in one lineup and going like house afire, the fans woke up to the fect that Phoenix again has a baseball team worth mentioning. All these fel- lows drank their Hassayampa canteens dry last year and now must come back to the land of sunshine, flowers. gentle zephyrs and warm afternoons, and play the good old pastime with vim that puts ginger in the fan and causes the hundreds of real sport lovers to ex- change their little sAnoleons for paste hoard at the main gate and wait through two solid hours of badanage for the final score.
 Smokey Joe Smiley presided over the obseques yesterday afternoon, and if he had been old Father Time his sal ary arm could not have been more of a scythe to moW down the ripened sheaves that faced him ever and anon during the heated spaces of what might have been a considerably less one sid ed contest The old chicken wing had a snap and go in it that was unfathom- able until the last inning when, in a weak spot, he let down and the run bucket leaked once for the visitors.
 Opposed to Smiley was person with . past. A large gentleman in an un- sershirt and gray unmentionable who IvaS at one time a rare pitcher, and gave lucid intervals of former pride and ability yesterday afternoon. This mans name was O'Brien and some said he came from Denver and the Red Sox isgions, but there are doubts about that and substantial ones. However, for a while ne went pretty nifty but in the fatal the locals lit on him like a flock of harpies, and when the feathers had finally been Winded away five nasty srHashes had made hicks in history and seven black marks had found their way to the run column of the Phoenix score. It was all over but the shouting from then on. Before that time the Mesa man had shown somes pep, but after that they became listless. O'Brien kept the mound but failed to keep the score down and the final tally showed the score as stated above
 MT. Dode Morris officiated as the gentleman in overalls in the play and did very well, not having occasion to move his position back of the pitcher but very few times during the engage ment

ALBUQUERQUE
 PHOENIX ROAD |. ACEPR0GRESS
Sister States Metropolis is Boosting for Third of Trio of Auto Events End ing at Arizona's Famed State Fair

Cheerful reports of progress on the Albuquerque-Phoe road race are being received from boost headuuar- ters in the New Mexico metropolis, and lead the local authorities to be- lieve that the third addition to Phoe- niX's fair-time gasoline gayety will class up with the two recognized road races-from Los Angeles and Phoenix.
 The Albuquerque Phoenix race will be far different from the other two Each has its peculiar difficulties, and those of the latest contest are even more heart breaking than those of the desert grinds. Fl Paso's time ought to be far better this year than last better per mile than that of either of the other events. The Albuquerque time will probably be slow, owing to the immense chains of mountains to be traversed, the dangerous canyons, slippery hills, and long stretches of sand. Most of the bad road of the Los Angeles to- Phoenix race is con- densed into two small spots-one in the Mammoth Wash and the other in the rocky hills and washes this side of Dome. But the Albuquerque- Phoenix route, while fine for touring, lis certainly not a boulevard for fast work. The trouble begins in sand and ends in steep, pitchy hills. The Roosevelt road, the most famed scenic highway in the world, surfaced smooth enough for the most fastidious to tour, is thirty miles per hour and no more.
 Albuquerque's local drivers are highly enthusiastic about the race. Many NeweMexico entries are ex- pected. Colorado sports, owning fast machines, have begun Investigating it's possibilities There may be a mo- torcycle road race from Albuquerque Ito Phoenix. "Bill' Metzsinger, the peerless crack of the sister state, holder of an even dozen state dirt track records. is writing inquiries |about a motorcycle contest.
 The Albuquerque to Phoenix road race will be handled from that end by Col. D. K B. Sellers, president of the Ocean, to- Ocean Highway asso- citation and of the New Mexico Auto mobile club, and here by Sellers pro- totype, George Purdy Bullard.
 Facts about the AlbuquerquePh nix race show:
 Course, 450 miles Approximately.
