Latest in European Motor Car Design Here-Jeffrey Cars Draw Crowds
 at MeArthur Brothers

The showrooms at McArthur Broth CTS on North Central avenue are now beautifully decorated in honor of the new Jeffery cars which arrived Satur- day, and are now on exhibition there. These cars have been anxiously await ed, and, judging from the crowds in the showroom, the new Chesterfield Six and the Jeffery Four are being re- ceived with great enthusiasm. The spec ificaticns of the two Jeffery models in clude practically everything that is standard in the latest European ideas.
 The Chesterfield Six has beauti- fully finished pure French stream line body, with one man top and crown lenders. The upholstering in the car is of the finest hand buffed leather and it's excellence adds to the beauty and comfort of the car.
 On opening the hood one sees re- markedly compact and neat sx-cy1in- der motor, cylinders cast enbloc on proved model "G' Rayfield carburetor, and Blur starting and lighting system. The starting system is an excellent one; it has been the standard equip ment on Packard cars for the past two years and has given remarkable ser vice. The motor is of the European high speed-high efficiency, type and will develop 42 h. p. at 2200 R. P. M. The maximum speed of the motor is 5000 R. F.

Bat Ne/son's Sparrjng
 Pu//s nHooked'' utL ust
By Amazing Series of Coin cidences, Charlie Edin- burg and Mabel Merritt, Vaudevilists, Come to Marry in Phoenix
By SCOOP


 It was a tiny wriggle of a neck muscle that dropped Charlie Edin- burg, formerly sparring partner of Bat Nelson's off his pedestal in a Los Angeles theater two months ago, into a hospital and into the wake of the small and alluring goddess, who last night became Mrs. Eddie. She is Mabel Merritt, the girlish saxa- phone artist, who ended her week at the Empress last night. just in time to be married to her boyhood sweet heart, who started his turn-also last night.
 Tt was fate did it-no leSs," said Edinburg last night, as he waited for the show to close that he might con-
 duct Miss Merritt before Judge P. P.
 Parker. In his hand he carried the tiny gold band that was engraved l "C. to M.,'' which Judge Parker later used in binding the two young vaude- williams together for life.
 Their history is strange. The first Ireel depicts them in school. Charlie got to toting Mabels books home every afternoon, and it might have been this fact which got him into boy scrape and caused him to be- come acquainted with the fistic pas time. Well, Charlie loved Mabel and meant to marry her. but the girl went on the stage. Bing. Like a sledge- hammer all hopes were shattered, and Edinburg took himself off to the training camp, believing that Bat Nelson's hard fists could beat the sorrow out of his heart, replacing it with grief on his map.
 Nelson rose, triumphed and fell. And Edinburg slipped naturally into the vaudeville game with an aero batic turn. Eight years afterward he met Miss Merritt in Cairo, Illinois, where she was playing bill with her sister. But the sisters were not to be parted Fortunately the elder sister married, and when Eddie heard of it he wrote the younger. In an swer she said she was booked in Los Angeles Now Charles, himself was booked in the big town, so when the little girl arrived they found them selves on the same bill. Now wasn't that a pippin of a chance for them to "double?'

TENNIS CLUBS
 HAVE MAGAZINE
Border States Tennis is Name of New Publication Issued at Tucson by As sociation-Will Boost the Game in Southwest

Border States Tennis, organ of the racqueteers of the states of Ari- zona, New Mexico and Texas, is the new magazine, the publication of which was announced in Phoenix by Bill Horrell and Jack Ainsworth doubles champions of the Border States association yesterday. The visits of Messrs. E. E. Neff, Jimmy Lawton, and other tennis fans from the south of the state had something to do with the announcement being made in Phoenix instead of at Tue son, where the publication will be got out.
 At a dinner of tennis enthusiasts at the Arizona Club yesterday, the proposition was sprung, and to say 1t met with instant approval would be d very bare way of saying it.
 About the Magazine
 The association will back the pub : lication, which is to be a monthly, with it's first issue on the first-next Thursday. Paul E. letter of Mes calero, New Mexico; Dr. H. M Cor nell of Las Cruces; Penney Williams and James M. Lawton of Tucson, are the editors. Contributing editors are all tennis enthusiasts
 In the magazine will be found:
 One article each month by some tennis player of national reputation
 One article on some club of the Border States association.
 Tennis competitions, schedules, etc. relating to the sI ort.
 The october 1 issue will feature the recent cleanup of w. A. Horrell of Phoenix on his eastern trip.
 In the December issue will be found a feature article on the Phoe- nix club and it's activities and plans.
 The magazine is issued primarily to boost the game, and not fo- finan- cial gain. The price-a dollar a year--wil merely help out on the printing bill. The business office will be located at Tucson, it's address Post Office Box 1887.
 Honorary President Eugene Neff of Fl Paso, and President Lawton of Tucson, were in Phoenix yesterday arranging details at the local end.

CARRANzA MAY ENTER RACER
But It Will Be the Old Man, and Dan Durrau Will Be Pilot - Mexican Chief Gets Fever for Speedy Automobiles

Yes, Venustiano CarranZa, first chief of the revolution, that by the aid of God and the United States is rebellion, and a motorist extra ordinary, may put d car in one of the races to the Arizona state fair, but it will be the Fl Paso race, and it will be Daniel c. Durraq who will drive it. Venustiano Junior, whose appeal to the director of the interna- tional spot light has not been as strong, but has been of the same order as that of his distinguished dad, will certainly not represent the Carranza family in the speed compe tition. If he did yell to Don Lee to enter him in the l.. A.-PhoeniX race, and if Don does put some more per fectly good money into Cadillac racers so that V. Carranza, Jr., can pilot one of them, it will not be with the sanction of the present boss of affairs in Mexico.
 Durraq arrived from New York the other day in the gate city of Fl Paso, and on the same train came a brace
 
 chief While ta-rying in Joe Bukey's accessories emporium, Dan had some talk with M. l.. Naquifl, and some of M. LIS young assistants on the Velie team, and Dan did say about las follows:
 I've been working on the old man to get him to put a car in the Fl  a Fiat, with li'l Daniel at the wheel" Dan Durraq is an odd figure in motoring. First learning the game in the hard school of a New York garage, he finally landed as private chauffeur for George Gould Vita Gould's car and Gould himself as q passenger. he went all about Europe and learned many things about motors and motoring. At last he drifted to Arizona, became engaged with E. R. Pirtle, state distributor of the Cadillac. He landed with Bill Tremaine. when Bill had that car, stayed with him as mecanician of Bills Pope Hartford, Bob Truman driver, which same won the first Prescott Loop race, and got the own- CT canned by the American Auto mobile Association. In the ensu- ing few months, Durraq and Ire maine engaged in a lively quarrel over business matters, but which fin ally resulted in each saying the other wasn't so bad, after all.
 Dan left Tremaine and went back to Douglas, where he became mecan ician in the Pirtle Copper City entry a Cadillac in last years Fl Paso to Phoenix race.

At last nights meeting of the Phoe- nix Motorcycle club, the competition committee submitted the plan for a set of track races, to be given on October H. The proceeds will help finance the San Diego to Phoenix motorcycle race on November to S.
 After some revision, in which sug- gestions from the riders were consid- cred, the above program was outlined.
 Gondolpho!
 The Phoenix committee yesterday re- ceived a kindly letter from the Hotel Gondolpho at Yuma in which that famed hostelry promised to put up a second silver loving cup for the best time made between San Diego and the first night control. The cup will be gratefully accepted; and hung up for a second Paul Derkum.

 Did they take advantage of the said coincidence? Well, ask Judge iP. P. Parker
 But alas! Today they part. For the vaudeville manager brooks not the interference of true love with his billing. (Here is a swell chance to make a pun-cooing, see)
 So Miss Merr-er, Mrs. Edinburg goes on to Fl Paso and Charlie stays here to finish his week, and then he, too, hits the Pullmans for the east. In three weeks, they figure their booking runs out simultaneously in Denver, and then in a new act. as Edinburg and Merritt, they will work their way into Chicago-following ma trimony's favored path, and being followed by the good wishes of every one in the world-for you know the saying about all the world.

CHESTERF|E[D|AN AUTOS
 ON SHOW AT M'ARTHUR bR0S

possible the great motor speed In the Chesterfield" the Jeffery company have used the worm drive This is the first time that this type of rear axle has been used in American gaso- line cars, which is, however, not an entirely new thing as it is used in six ty-five per cent of English cars and in great number of French cars, such as the De Dion -Bouton.
 The rear axle Is of the full floating type, mounted on imported F. & S. an- bearings has made it possible to build a car which requires only thirty eight pound pull to set it in motion.
 The Jeffery Chesterfield Six is re- markable for it's lightness, weighing only 2S0O lbs. completey equipped. However, lightness has not been ob- tained by weakening the car in any way, as the reduction in weight is due to the fact that the car carries small, high speed motor and is made up greatly of heat-treated vanadium steels the most efficient steels known.
 The new Jeffery Four has beauti- ful finish and is built with the famous Rothschild body. It carries the four cylinder high-speed motor that made the Jeffery car famous when it was introduced from Europe Into this coun- try. It is, of course, electrically started and uses Bosch ignition and imported F. & s. annular ball bearings through out.
 The interest in the Jeffery Four is naturally great as this is the car on which the Jeffery company made their remarkable sales record last year. The car sells for $1450 The motor devel- ops 40 h. p. The .McArthur Brothers have already reported three sales in Phoenix and a good many in their out lying territory. They have closed with the International Auto company, Fl Paso Packard agents, to handle the Jeffery car in that end of the territory
 The first Phoenix man to drive a Jeffery Six is E. S. Wakelin of Wake lin Wholesale Grocery Co.
