TENTATIVE AUTO RACE
 PROGRAM |S MADE UP

It was also decided to ask the Phoenix Motorcycle club to partici- pate with one or more events, and suitable prizes will be hung up for the -wheelers in the event that they decide to enter.
 The object of he meeting will be to raise money for the depleted treas ury of the Maric9pa Automobile club, which to date has always gone down in it's pocket and dug up without asking outside aid for the many events that it has fathered.
 The club wants to sign" the state and is without sufficient money to accomplish this commendable under taking. While the club feels that it should merit the hearty support of all who are interested in the auto, and it's little brother, the motorcycle, they want to assure the public that they will give real program for the small price of admission which will be charged at the gate.
 A telegram was sent yesterday ask ing sanction for the automobile meet ing from the A. A. A. and Jacl, Holmes announces that he has ar- ranged for the fair grounds track on this date.
 All that remains now is the entry of the drivers. Jack Holmes will be at the Overland garage office today where he will answer all questions as to the purses and the conditions for the races. It is expected that all of the events will be well filled by to- night.

FRAMES
 SUNDAY GAMES
Indecision Concerning Week Day Closing Forces
 Baseball Organization to . Plan New Set of Playing
 Dates for Two Months

In consequence of the indecision of Phoenix merchants regarding closing dates for the coming summer, the Cen tral Arizona league has revised its schedule, confining the next months play to Sundays only. The team which Frank Castle will enter in the league has been announced as the "Rer SoX" The Sox will make their bow April 12 at Mesa, on which happy day Tempe journeys to the Capital city to engage the Senators in friendly debate.
 That Castles team will make good is the opinion of several who have watched it. There is ample promise of further backing for the second Phoe- nix team in the course of the next ten days. Greer, Castles personal packer, has agreed to deposit the necessary fund with the league today.
 The new schedule gives Phoenix May 3 at home with the Sox, May F at Tempe and April 26 at Mesa.
 The Sox get April 19, May 10 and May 31 at Tempe and April 12, and May "A at Mesa.
 Tempe plays Phoenix here April F and May "A, and with the Sox here April 26.
 Mesa plays Phoenix here April 3, May 10 and May 31, and al Phoenix with the Sox May IT. The schedule lacks one game of being a perfect square Mesa missing one contest with Tempe on the southsde.
 After this schedule is played out, an- other will be made up to include week day dates.
 The standing of the clubs, as agreed upon fro mthe two games so far played would read like this:

Spain Anxious

WASHINGTON. April 6.-Deeply concerned about the safety of the large Spanish colony at Torreon, Spanish Ambassador Riano was busy with officials of the state department today, planning for the protection of the men, women and children whom Villa is reported to have ordered out of the country. While the press dis patches referred to Villas order for the expulsion of the Spanish from Torreon, the Spanish consulate at Fl Paso is reported as hearing of such an order by Villa, but there is no evidence that the order has been put in execution
 The situation of the Spaniards forced out of Chihuahua four months ago is said to be one of uncertainty and hardship. International law au- thorities here hold that these people. as we'll as the Spaniards of Torreon, if expelled, have sound claims for full indemnity against any govern ment that may be permanently es- tablished in Mexico. The military situation in the vicinity of Torreon remains a mystery to state and war department officials. Carothers re- ports omitted reference to the where abouts of the federals who withdrew from Torreon. The Mexican em- bassy continues confident of the ulti- mate triumph of the federal generals over Villa.

in Belgium, today departed for the

The first volunteers are to servs for
