A BUSY WEEK IN
THE SALE ROOM

into two classes. There are the por-
tentous examples, which belong In
museums, some of them good to look
upon and others az ugly as they are
important" Then there are the pieces
which fit into any interior and are
not only handsome or quaint, but have
into the bargain something positively
endearing about them. This Is tho
kind of old furniture with which the
American Art Galleries are just now
filed 70 overfowing. The collection
was formed by Clarence J. Deardon,
whose judgment has been supported
by good fortune. Only a collector born
under a lucky star could have run to
earth this sssemblage of about eight
hundred objects. People who are look
ing for chairs, tables and similar
things may congratulate themselves.
They will have rare opportunity at
the sale, which is set for the after
Moons of December 8, !, 3, and 8.
A few interesting chances are of
fered TO those who care for historical
associations. There is a simple little
desk here that belonged TO Sir Walter
Scott. There is q chair from the home
Of Robert Southey, most respectable of
British poets, and another recalls his
very antithesis, Jonathan Wild. But
these are only incidents. The real
stuff of the collection is TO be found
in objects whose great merit is that
they were well designed and well
made in the great days of Eng
lish and Colonial craftsmanship. The
American chairs make most en-
gaging array The famous Windsor
pattern appears in scores Of slight
modulstions, so TO say, appealing TO the
eye through many a deft touch in the
pitch Of leg or the turning Of spin
die. And time has bestowed upon them
all a perfect patina. They never pre-
tended 20 be beautiful, and the epithet
is perhaps hardly TO be spent upon
them now. Nevertheless, we repeat,
they fll the eye. The collection is
rich IN the simplest chairs, but there
Is an equally large representation OF
more decorative work, especially in the
uppermost room, where the Chippen~
dale pieces are concentrated. Among
the chairs and tables, which predomi-
nate throughout, there are constantly
coming into view good sideboards and
mirror frames, gueridons and fire
screens, and occasionally there is some
curio, like the eighteenth century
wstchmsn's rattle which figures early
in the catalogue For q moment we
think again Of the museum. Certainly
a piece like the carved oak cradle Of
1850 mo. l40) ought 70 be preserved
in some public place. But the bulk OF
this furniture is furniture 10 use.

Five artists are represented in the
collection of architectural prints now
on view at the Kraushaar gallery,
Frank Brangwyn, D. Y. Cameron, Ma

Haig. Their individual characters-
tics are momentarily obscured by the
nature of the ensemble which they
create in the room. We survey here q

through which the armies have been
passing. There is. for example, a
souvenir Of ill-fated Dixmude, in

RECORDS

Coyote Coach Predicts That Thoman Will Cut 100 Yards in 10 Flat and Co., man Will Lower the Half Miler to 200

Some records will drop when the the week, to take part in the statewide track and field sports conducted by the University of Arizona. This is the pre- diction of Francis Geary, known as the coach of the Coyotes.
 Thoman and Conan are the men he relies on to lower a couple of the state high school amateur records. Thoman, the big lank sprinter will do the 100 yards in ten flat this spring. The state record is l0 2-5. Conan short, light, but chunky youngster will do the half mile in right around two minutes, which will be lower the state record by several seconds.
 These two champions will bring some big marks 10 the Phoenix high side of the slate, according to Geary. Of course the Ki-yote coach expects his men to clean up everything, anyway, but these two firsts will add a ma terial top to the score.
 InterschOlastic records in Arizona are being investigated by an expert in amateur athletics who promises some interesting articles on the same, within a few weeks. The comparison has been made between western high schools and those of the east-in an athletic way-and SO far results have been highly in the favor of the Westerners.

Republican Cup Series Opened in Sensational Manner - New Hurler Fans Ten Normals. Holds Down Hits and Makes Home Run

 If yesterdays opening game for the 1914 series for The Republican cup pre- scented no other interesting features, the discovery of Ares, the classy 16 year old mission Indian pitcher would make it worthy of q lengthy chronicle. For Ares was really and truly discoV- cred yesterday when he held the hard hitting Pedagogucs to , hits and one run, struck out 10 men and then turned in and hit the only home run of the game
 Ares strnck out three batters in a TOW in the second inning. Ares struck out three batters in ;t row in the sev- cnth. after having allowed one hit. He famed his trio so fast that the man who had got on the paths failed to un- glue himself from first base
 A lightning like double play in the ninth saved the Indians from possible second score. Castle had hit and then took third on an overthrow.

 GRIZZLIES AT GRANT PARK
Barrett and Bangrover, Opposing Captains, Will Start Game of Mounds for Phoenix and Tempe This Afternoon

Tempe Will that town be the Venice of the Central Arizona League?
 As Los Angeles has it's husky younger brother, so has Phoenix q near relation. with d bigly developed baseball trait. The fans of the val ley will know after this day Wheth- cr or not the Grizzlies are to worry the Capital City team in the 1914 race for the Arizona pennant.
 Tempe. led by Busted Mitt Bill Barngrover. that wonderful old base ball head, will visit the Baum men in Grant park this afternoon While Tempe is coming here. not so much 10 beat Phoenix as to feel out the strength of the locals, it promises to be a good fast game. Having been playing together longer than the Solons, the Bears are likely to dis play a team work impossible to the home club. Still. there is nothing but efficiency to the workouts the Senators have been going through, and the team is fairly solid
 The opposing pitchers will also be the opposing captains in this days game. Against Barngrover. Baum will pit his new high life expert, George Fred Barrett The personal appearance of the Phoenix captain is presented to view in neat black ink on this very page
 Manager Abe Lukin, of the Tempe team presented the secretary of the ir1 .itt, ..irr CTS yesterday, and it is like this:
 Barclay, C; Brown. C: Barngrover. D; Oviedo. |. and If: Carlson p: Ewing. h.. Brown, 2b: Oniel, ss and 2b.; TrujillQ, ss.; Gooch 3b.: E. liar lis. cf: Hanna, sub and If: Gregg If
 He claims that his team runs in per capita weight from 100 to 200 pounds. which is some range The average height lies between five and six feet. which is oddly enough. the average which the anthropologist places on every one of the human race
 But if the Bears contain some light weights. there is no lack of hitting ability among 'em. It was d notable fact that in the preseason games, Lukin's men showed they had not forgotten the batting eye with which they won the lead last year while under the management of Don Fran cisco Baum.
 Oviedo will be used in the outfield this afternoon, so the Bears may get the benefit of his expertness with the stick. In case the locals start get ting to the delivery of Barngrover, the manager will switch his men with lightninglike rapidity and the Phoe- nicians will find themselves confront ed with the problem of solving that pEZzling delivery of the calm Leachy.
