DO GOOD" IS TIRE FLUID
 NOT UPL|fT CAMPAIGN
Sion on East Adams Street Presents
 Necessity for Explanation

Most people deny they believe in signs. but there is sign on East Adams Street, in front of the GrisWoid Bicycle Shop that would make the world the better for it if all men would read and heed it. Do Good'' says the sign When those two words appear before the eyes of the hundreds of men, women and children who daily pass along Adams Street, it is alto gether likely that the first thought is that it is part of another uplift move men.
 The truth of the matter is that while Griswcld is just as firm a believer in the uplift and all other things that tend to better humanity, the sign is really one of the plans he has adopted to call the attention of people who use rubber tires either on bicycles or upon automobiles to his well known tire preparation Do Good He is the dis cOverer of the compound that is guar anteed to "do good' to any tire and to prolong it's life indefinitely. In the manufacture and distribution of the preparation Griswold had given to Phoenix a new industry one that em- ploys quite few man and women and that serves in it's own way to advertise Phoenix while bringing in a substantial financial return to the originator.

IHORRELl BEATS D0R0N;
 l LOOKS LIKE THE WINNER

w. A. HOrrell, AriZOnas most fam GUS handler of the racquet, is still Tn the game for the Y. M. C. A. tennis championship, having beaten Joe Doron in two sets on the association court yesterday. Horrelrs scores were 6-1 and 6-4.
 One of the surprises of yesterday s play was the victory of Blair over Byers. Having returned from an ar duous trip to Roosevelt at noon, the general secretary anticipated a regu- lar beating, and for that particular reason would not back out when given chance. He put light hat over his sunburned forehead and waded in. He cleaned Byers by scores of 6-2 and 6-3.
 It was expected that JudsOn would beat Fast. and that the game would be just the same as the last mans name And so he did, and so it was. The scores were 6-3 and 6-4, the closest of the day.
 Todays games will be:
 MunsOn vs. Townsend at noon.
 Judson vs. Peatross at f ?. m.
 Larson vs. Wilkinson at 4:45 D. m.
 Coggins vs. Prescott at 5:3O p. m.

NEW RECORD IS SET FOR
 INTERROGATION POINTS
This Letter Contained Some Classy Examples of Queries Fired at
 United States Land Office

A new record for asking questions was established by an applicant for land office information yesterday who wrote it all down on paper It was in a letter addressed to the receiver of the land office that the following quer ies were closely crowded:
 "Is there any tillable government land vacant in Yavapai County on Date Creek?
 Could it be irrigated from Date Creek?
 'Or is there any on Williams River in Mohave and Yuma Counties?
 Also in Maricopa?
 How much land in a homestead?
 Can desert land be taken at the places named?
 Can a man who has used his home stead right in another state take uI desert land in Arizona?
 Can you give me extracts from the law relating to desert lands in this state?
 Twill you send me a map of Yava- pal County, showing plats for town ships and how much vacant land there is?"
 That is a good sample of about 6 thousand letters month, according tC Chief Clerk James P Lavin. He says he often has to sit Up until unmention- able hours in the morning trying tc figure out what some of the questions mean, and how best to answer them

LEAGUE OPENS
 F0R BUSINESS
 IN TWO PLACES
Sunday Games at Phoenix and Tempe Start Off the Longest Schedule Ever Attempted in Arizona Fans Real Chance

President George Walter Brown of the Central Arizona Baseball league expects every fan to do his duty which a fan can express his black est thoughts about boneheads and umpires, and incidentally view with enjoyment some baseball.
 One is in Tempe. where the Griz- zles meet up with the Pirates Talk ing into consideration the two na- lures of grizzlies and pirates, one must conclude that the scrap will be somewhat fierce Neither is noted for gentleness. At Phoenix there is the game between the Senators and the Jewels of Mesa. The Senators are ordinarily calm folks, and Jewels have never given any cause for in- ternal quakings. but the game here will be some game, anyhow.
 Having written the usual puffs about the teams, the scribe will now announce that these two games men, toned are parts of a schedule of four months duration, ending July F, and that the season just opening will be by far the most successful of any yet attempted in Phoenix. The sched- ule printed in The Republican Tues day morning is the longest that has ever been arranged in an Arizona league, and if the length of the schedule is any assurance of a solid organization, then the Central Ari- zona league must be quite bit more solid than air-warm air.
 Notices about this league in out side publications have been just like want ads for players. Tanned young athletes with gnarled fingers ant sharp eyes have come in shoals Field Manager Brown of the Solons had twentytwo men at practice yes terday. That is, all were not prac- ticing for the same team, but there were that many aspirants on thu ground.

JUST ABOUT A |. CHUGb|KE RACE
Some Little Items of Prepa- ration for the Hundred Mile Grind on State Fair Track Sunday - Riders Tuning Machines

Entry blanks, tickets, posters pro- grams. Those are some of the items that the motorcycle race committee has had to get out prior to the 100-mile race here Sunday Take all this print ing. the arrangements for the track, ad- vertising through persons and news papers, and you have a goodly portion of work It is about all done, now, and the preparations for the race are rounding into the last stages.
 Preparations of riders for the event are also being concluded. Fast motor cycles are being tuned in many back yard, in every shop, on the track, on the roadside, wherever the rider hap pens to think of some bolt or nut he can twist to add jot to the speed of his mount The track is almost all the time in use. F'ifty-five seconds is becoming slow practice time. Peril is viewed with contempt that is bred of familiarity. The surface is so fast that machines are coming in with their tires shaved down perceptibly by the wear on the turns.
 Some chap with head for figures has calculated that a motorcycle rid den by 160 wound man presses the track on the turns with force equal to four tons when the speed gets up to sixty miles an hour Just try to figure it out how heavy a rider must be who is crossing those turns at seventy miles an hour, He must be like the well known individual who resides on Ju- piter. and weighs as much more pro- pOrtiOnally than a man as the largest planet outweighs the little earth.
 And some of the tiny racing tires that come in from the track look as though they had been through the mill all right. One hundred miles is long way. To travel it at more than a mile a minute is almost more than any sort tof rubber and fabric can stand After the hour race at Bakersfield Bakers front tire was sliced clean dowr to the fabric on the left side, where i wore hardest on the turns.
 But tires are the least of the rider! worries. He has about hundret pounds of steel that must be tinkeret ! to the last notch, must stand friction 1 that would wear down the hardes metal were not for the fabrication l It must stand the heat of the explosion that would drive ten million rifle bui i lets on their appointed trajectories /, For every revolution of the ordinar. racing machines back wheel, the en zine shaft must make at least thre
 complete turns, For each of thes turns there is one shot of the ga
 charge, and for each shot of a twil motor the pistOns must move up an | down twice. Imagine the rapdity wit which the reciprocating parts mus travel, and then say that the man wh
 made a racing motor was not geni us
 The wonder is that ordinary metals
 nodded and hammered by man ca
 stand it.

Scorers and News Men Who Will Accompany Chicago Nationals to Mesa Tues day Will Be Entertained Liberally
Especial to The Republican,

MESA March 25-AS an evidence of the thorough manner Tn which the Mesa team expects to entertain the crowd on March 31st when the Chicago White SoX play at this place the pro- visions being made for the visiting newspaper men is cited. The scoring and news end of the game has been turned over to Ray Lesueur. MT. Les ueur may be relied upon to make ev- cry provision for the comfort and con- venience of the scribes. He has all ready reserved a place immediately in front of the grandstand and adjoining the players benches where tables will be arranged and plenty of chairs will be provided. A special feature will be the treatment to be afforded the visi- tors on the day of the game and MT. Lesueur expects to have his depart ment-that of scoring and news-not the least attractive of the general line up.
 The National Leaguers are taking no more interest in their spring training than are the Mesa Jewels in preparing for the big game as well as the opening of the Central Arizona League at Phoe-
 nix next Sunday. Every evening sees
 them on the diamond for a fast tryout with some organized team from the schools. Last evening they took on the first team from the Union High School l for d practice stunt. This was good work for the school team as well as 1 the regulars and it furnished splendid
 practice for each aggregation.
 1 The umpires will of course be fur nished by the White SOX but it is the l intention of Langowsky to use R. H Tebben as the Mesa umpire if it is pos
 sible to secure him on that date. | It is the idea of the Mesa manager
 now, as has been at all times since the
 game was first scheduled to give the l Mesa team as much of the benefit of 1 the Six visit as possible. It is for this reason that either Goodwin, Campbell
 or Goss will start the game. It has l been decided to insist upon Morris | catching the game. There are a good many fans who want to see Walsh ir 1 action and he has been selected as the
 man to assist the Mesa team on that date.

The University of Colorado is ne gotiating with the University of Washington for a post-season foot ball game to be played early in De- cember. The Colorado team won the championship of the Rocky moun- tain conference last season. Colo rado teams have made trips to the California coast and are now anxious to play in the northwest. Dean Rob- erts, chairman of the faculty commit tee, thinks there is no valid reason why Washington should not play Colorado He states: Tt would be 1 much better if we could play the
 game earlier. However. I am in fla vor of playing Colorado the first

The new crew coaching system at Cornell, which went into effect re-
 gently, is expected to materially in crease the interest of the student body as a whole in rowing. Under
 the arrangement between the athletic council and the inter college athletic board, the college crews are to be coached by John Hoyle, under the di- rect supervision of Charles Courtney. The new system will give the college Garsmen a regular coach and will as sure them the daily advice of Court ney. Rowing under Courtney's in struction is likely to stimulate in l terest in the college crews and form l a better source of supply for the varsity boats than heretofore. By 1 the new arrangement the number of
 men will be largely increased. The equipment of the university and col | lege navies will be practically | merged.
 In speaking of the new system, Courtney said:
 1 "All of the crews that row will
 now be under one head. and if ] should want to pick one of the col | lege Oarsmen for varsity boat in
 the middle of the season, l will know
 that he has been given the proper | training up to that time

President Richmond, of Union col lege, in an address on the present methods of athletic training and management in American colleges, stated that the idea of broad training and scholarship was rapidly being lest sight of in the present methods Of specialization. He spoke of the ancient Greeks. who were equally proficient in athletics and scholar ship. saving:
 Tt is not so today, as athletics are managed in our American colleges The average college athlete is not a good student, and the whole system of training, for the high class ath- lete. is adapted to produce a low class student, if not a low class man I believe in athletics There is noth- ing that has contributed more to raise the general tone of college life in the last generation than a whole some interest in athletics.

 Mesa, Arizona, will be in the date lines all over the country next week, when the enthusiastic correspondents flock around and watch the Jewels combat with Jimmy Callahan's first team on Tuesday. The reason the press dispatches will carry Mesa in stead of Phoenix is secret that Paul J. Langowski, Mesa's live manager, will not tell except on slight provo cation.
