FINE PUBLICITY FOR

Lorenzo Boido Trails Circus Parade With Race-Advertising

That was the schedule of prices fixed for the motorcycle races and advertised in d clever manner along with Mr. Sells and Mir. F'loto's and
 MT. Buffalo Bilrs circus yesterday
 Eight back of the old reliable cal Hope came Lorenzo Boido on his h. dlan trailing d regular trottin' hoss

 The price list quoted above was on

 Then back of that came Babe
 Valentine on board of a side ear
 Mcrkel, carrying three passengers.
 and another sign advising the
 crowds of the 100-mile motorcycle iace that is to be held here next Sunday. It is this sort of publicity that is being carried to success by the club. The way ticket sales are going now, there should be 2,50O peo pie at the race-all the result of the excellent boosting the club members have done for their belated speed trial
 Chairman Joe Gladioux of the ar l engagements committee said yester- cay T am mighty glad the Phoe- nix newspapers are supporting us so liberally. We realize that our sue cess Tn this event will mean the mak- ing or marring of later events. We are not a money making institution and no man will derive a penny's profit from the race, except those riders who earn prizes. And that will not be a huge reward, consider | ing their expenses.

WHY PRESS BOX WAS LOGGED AWAY FROM
 CHICAGO REPORTERS

Abuse of the press box privilege at the Mesa White Sox game bv local newspapermen is going to bring about roasting in the Chicago pa rers. which if not pleasant, ought to have salutary effect in this iso- lated, but supposedly civilized com munity. Five of the Chicago papers had special representatives with the Sex, and it was understood that pro- vision would be made for all of them in the press box.
 Representatives of Phoenix, Tempe press box first, and when the wis itors trailed in, there was a crush on like world series game. Not sore, bat oddly joyous at the chance for one calorific banning. the scribes hied them to an obscure place on right field line and made themselves happily miserable the while chuckling over the burning they would give the local news men in their large and in fluential dailies.
 Meanwhile the press box contained an agitation for delimiting the proj- ect. About wo-thirds of those who sat in the favored places needed not their points of vantage. for any but showing off reasons Only one paper The Republican-needed q box score of that game on the dot. as it is the only one that published within twen- ty-four hours after the contest. George C. Rice, of the Chicago Journal was provided with seat through the influence of The Repub : lican man. who also Vainly sought
 tn find places for the other visitors This is intended to explain why the
 people of this city. getting Chicago papers. may expect a wholesome
 roasting from the sheets whose re-
 porters didn't get in soft at the Mesa ! encounter

BASEBALL CHATTER

Bob CnSlaub, former Boston Wash inston first baseman, has signed to manage the Fargo team in the Nor thern League.
 The Oakland club of the Pacific Coast League has sold Buck OBrien, tie old Red SoX finger, to the In- dianapolts American Association club
 Manager Bill Carrigan of the Red SoX believes that in Everett Scott, the st. Paul sensation of last sea son. he has found a classy under study for Shortstop Hene Wagner.
 Jay Kirke is performing brilliantly for the Cleveland American Associa- tion team. Few big leaguers have had anything on the former Boston Brave outfielder this spring
 Charley Somers, owner of the Cleveland Maps, has offered Joe Jack Jackson a substantial bonus this year for hitting above 400, .975 and .350 Joe's marks for the past four years have been .3S7, .4OS, .395 and .373.
 Manager HeTzog of the Cincinnati Reds has had hard time getting his outfield together this spring Marsans was late in reporting and Bates is still kept home by his wife $ serious Hines
 Collins, Baker and McInns of the Athletics are still there with the wagon tongue In one of the recent games against the Cubs, the trio of star Mackmen made nine hits among them.
 The way Pitcher Doc White moved down his former pals of the White SoX at Venice, Cal, the other day must have made Jim Callahan wish that Doc was still on the Sox payroll
 Jake Daubert, of the Brooklyn SGperbas, who is the premier first sackman of the National League ventures the prediction that the Sup erbas will be in the race for tho pennant from the start.
 Anyway. Bill Dahlen has it on most of the former' big league managers The Brooklyn players gave their ex- boss a chest of silver. whereas most managers are decorated with tinwart when they are dropped.

JOHNS SHINES
 IN FREAk|SH
 TRACK STUNTS
Famous Excelsior Expert Almost Sole Attraction at Late Afternoon Prac- tices Now-Track Naude- vile Continues

Practice was desultory on the mile track at the fair grounds yesterday. Don Johns. kid brother to all the daredevils who ever played fast and loose with their lives and those of others in the gas buggy racing game. varied his usual performance yester- day by doing some fast dashes and trick rides
 Johns is d joshful fellow. He rode to the track on stock Yale from the Excelsior agency He was turn ing the miles in about an hour and a half with his touring mote when chap with a fast Indian passed him. Now if there is anything that Johns hates, it is to be passed by anything wearing the brilliant red and gold of the aboriginal chugcycle. So he wait ed until the said Indian was going slow into a turn, with the rider ad- justing his air intake Johns rode up behind, leaned over like cow punciier at a chicken pull" and grabbed the back mudguard of his faster opponent For few score of feet no one could telf which would go over the fence to rest among the alfalfa daisies-or whether it would be both. But the freak rider let go and both machines strengthened up early
 Johns plays with speed as a kit ten with a ball of twne. He is coolly calculating of every chance, and never goes over that indefinite N4-ti ii from absolute danger Like every speed demon he cuts his chances fine. but religiously preserves that last little resource of strength or balance that will save him in case he should misjudge bit of soft track. Johns is the circus rider of the motorcycle world. He like Paul Derkum. is so familiar with the bal ance of d speeding motorcycle that ne can make it perform like a trick bobcat-like the one that Mackey has, who is going to serve the re- treatments at Sundays races. E,v- erybody has seen the man in the circus ride a bike around, obivlOus to the call of gravity or momentum. Well, Johns is just like that. He is one of the most entertaining riders of the whole pack.
 But
 On the other hand. (No. not that one. the other one)
 The fancy stunts of Johns will not win him any v,fprizes in a hundred mile dash. If this were a sermon. 1t might go on to say that it is old stiff and steady who will win a long grind, but the writer knows only too well that Johns is capable of mag nificently plain riding. when he has to ride that way The F. A. M. and track rules clearly state that no fun ny business goes so when they all get away Sunday, the crowd will probably have to depend strictly on the speed and competition to furnish the thrills-unless an accident livens proceedings.

excellent publicity investment for Phoenix and Arizona"
 But Boido and Lount-ClOwnt-an Valentine are not the only ones who are advertising the race. Jim Blaine, Cashier Blaine they call him. was there with d classy stunt, too, He put a triumphal arch over his motor cycle. and with d sign advising all and sundry of his unshakable inten ton of going to the races Sunday. of the Phoenix National Bank, where Mir. Blaine has his being during working hours. Thousands of curious people saw it and commented. Then Blaine rode it about town. going slow so that everybody could read as he ran. It was a plumb good stunt
 Having one large low down, racy motor car, E. G. Baker was able to go one better He built a framework, carrying two signs on each side of the machine, big enough to strike the eye a mile away.
 On Saturday night the club will hold a parade in the down town sec ton. Then some good ideas in dec orated motorcycles can be seen, and the fact of the Sunday races will be still further hammered into the in telligence of the people of Phoenix.

MESA JEWELS
 M|LL|ONA|RES
Large, Juicy Melon is Dis sected by Manager Paul Julius Langowski for His Players-Llne-up's Some Changed

The Mesa Jewels the plutocrats of ing dividends It was a melon of Isplendid proportions that they hash ed up for every one of the players taking part in the White SoX game at their called meeting Wednesday night No only were they able to declare d dividend, but they paid up d bunch of old debts that would have worried d less resourceful man. ager than Paul Julius Langowslli. Debt so old that whiskers had begun to grow were wiped off the slate and d neat little bank account was left for further contingencies when there are no White SoX running loose in this neck of the woods
 But it was not entirely a meeting for the purpose of batting each other on the back and counting the money that was really coming in. Oh no. A complete shakeup in the team was declared and the man who has seen the team play ball will not recognize them by their positions any more. Ernie Williams, the hard hitting man of the team goes to the left garden and Core walks over to his place at short Mitchell who has heretofore held down the third sack , slips over into the place made vacant ! by Core and Halvorsen comes up from the left garden to third base The lineup for the Sunday game with the Senators at Phoenix will be as follows: Core ss; Williams, If; Mar l ris, C; Pomeroy, cf; Mitchell, 2b; Bond 1b; Halvorsen, 3b; Mullin If. Shumway, Holland, utility; Goss, | Goodman, McGowan and Campbell, pitchers.
 The team is practicing hard for
 the game with Phoenix Sunday, which in reality will be the opening
 of the Central Arizona League at
 Phoenix. Goodman will pitch a part of the game as it is not figured that he will have to leave Mesa until after the 10th of the month. Goss will also
 take part in the contest, making his
 first appearance in the league.
 It was the intention of Langowski
 to try him out last Sunday but the
 rain caused a postponement series
 of games is being arranged with the
 local high school for the purpose of
 giving the Jewels a bit of training
 that they cannot otherwise get The
 arrangement gives both teams some much needed practice

BIG GRIEF GETS THREE BADGER IN FIRST GAME
Former First Stcker For Tempe Bears Bats 500 in Afternoon of his
 Arrival at Owensboro

Arriving fresh from Tempe at the Owensboro training camp of the Min reapois Millers, Horace B. Griffen, late first sacker for the Bears treated his new team mates to a three bag smash in the first game he tied into. This information is containedsAin a letter from Herb Hall, pitching youngster for the Milwaukee Brewers, who are training at the same place as the Millers
 Hall writes to 'Leggy" Barton of the Senators:
 "Griffen got here from Tempe this morning and played first base for the Yannigans. He played a good game and got one hit out of two times up "a long three bagger.'
 Hall is one of the most promising young pitchers in the Milwaukee lineup. He will be given chance to star, so Manager Clark informs him. pretty tough practice schedule has been arranged for the Brewers. They play the Chicago Cubs Saturday Sunday and week from Sunday with Detroit Tigers.

NATIONAL MEDAL FOR RIFLE CLUB IN DOUBT
Hearst, Edens and Boido Have Claims to Gold Trophy; High Score of 141 by Hearst

Just who won the title to the Ma tional Rifle associations gold medal yesterday at the Phoenix Rifle club shoot is a matter of mystery until it can be decided how the division of the spells can be made.
 Hearst was high man. but as he won this same medal at Bisbee, the committee looked to the next man. He proved to be Tom Edens, who had won the medal for Company A. pr. L. Boido. president of the State Rifle association, is third highest, so it is probable that he will be award ed the medal for the local club. lows:
