yesterday, Wilson demonstrated that It IS possible to skid any tire made. when he heaved his machine back and forth on the muddy Streets and fin ally succeeded in spilling with it.
 Manager Kenyon offered Wilson a bran new tire if he could make it skid. In the event Wilson was un- successful, he was to buy the casing. It cost Wilson just one pedal and a bent stand to earn that tire, but he managed to glean it off the tempt ing branch on which it hung, by making his motorcycle do crazy stunts on the unpaved streets. After the demonstration, Bill Gerig took the machine and threw it into some sen sational skids on the wet asphalt.
 T do not say that the Pennsyl- vania tire is not skid-proof." said Wilson. But I do say that it is harder for me to fall off my machine with that vacuum cup tread than with any other 1 have ever tried"
 He had to go some to do it." was all the tire man would say.

 McMahon's Hard Luck
 It is hard to lose, but infinitely more bitter to be compelled to watch some favored contestant appropriate the spells after having won them fairly. Any man who can accept that kind of a package with smile earns free ticket through the pearly gates and a front seat to all the shows
 Horsemen remember the famous Pennsylvania that was staged at Mem phis when that city was, lined up with the Grand Circuit For unadulterated fun and rib-racking mirth they had everything else elbowed off the stretch and into the infield.

Southsidcrs Develop Two Stars in McCrary and MOeur and Score Almost at Will; Capt. Davis Star for Association Team.

In fast, rough game of basket ball, the Tempe Normal five defeated the Y. M. C. A. team last night on the associations court. The score was 49 to 32
 The ability of Forward Captain Me Crary and Center Moeur to score all most at will from the foul line and on large majority of their tries from field, sent the Tempe end of the score soaring. But no very ap- preciable weakness was noted on the Y M. c. A. scoring side, although the Normal guarding was effective and kept the locals offense bothered.
 The first half ended with the score 24 to 16 in favor of the Normal. AL most the same scoring ability was displayed in the last half of the game, making the total score 49 to 16
 Captain Davis, a forward, was the star for the association team.
 The lineup:
 Normal-McCrary, capt) and Mid deland, right forwards; Fran, left for ward; Moeur. center; Castle, right guard and Brady, left guard.
 '. NJ. C. A.-Baker and Davis, for wards; Hudson, center; Anderson and Jaycox, right guards, and Fielder, left guard
 Middleland replaced McCrary in the second half and Jaycox went in for Anderson in the same period.

YUMA CHARTER MAY
 NOT BE APPROVED
Objection That It Does Not Include All Of Original Townsite Would
 Render It Invalid

That the proposed charter of the City of Yuma will not be approved if the objection filed against it is found to be true, was the gist of a communi- cation forwarded yesterday to the mayor of the metropolis by the Colo rado by Governor Hunt.
 The objection to the new charter referred to which was filed with the attorney general by Thomas D. Malloy and P. T. Robertson, alleges that the boundaries of the city as set forth in the new charter do not include a cer- tain portion of the original townsite. and that therefore the charter is not that Of the City of Yuma The attor- ney general, who was requested to ex- anime the new charter as to it's con- stitutionality, ruled that if the objec- tion as to the boundaries is sustained. that that defect alone would render it invalid

 A deal of no small magnitude was consummated recently at Phoenix, whereby the trotter, Loe Blossom, gains new owner. MT. Frank Childs. well known in racing affairs of the far West, now owns the mare. purchasing her from Mrs. l.. M Schenk, of Phoe- nix The consideration given out is $3,50O.
 Mir. Childs shipped the mare to Pleas a (NDI pvh cba mill h. I especially for the big money events of 1915. Certainly at the present time she looks like the real thing for racing pur- poses. She was started three times during the meeting at Phoenix In the 2:O9 trot, with the heats done in 2:O5A 2:O5A. 2:051a, she was easily inside the flag though outside the money May Mack won the race in straight heats, asking favors from nobody.

The reader will please note the time in these races and the corresponding positions of the mare. Her third start was in the 2:1S trot. She won the first heat in 2:11H after which she was drawn.
