HOW THEY BAT TODAY
BY sscooPs

Baseballs "sorta revival in Phoenix is producing an interest in the sport, which will not only assure us a couple ef months of good sport, but will take cure Of the spring training of at least tw0 husky minor league teams here at Es start of next season. For know ye, xt PaA of the American association aDd Verice of the Pacific Coast league, vDl sach. probably, do their prelimin- ary work in the Salt River valley.
 This is the result of the enthusiastic representations of two of Phoenix's most influential fans. P H. Hayes and Dave Goldberg. Hayes, through Jim Murray, the famous American asso- citation umpire has practically induced the St. Paul team to come here next spring for it's training. Dick Bayless. cne f the leading hitters of the Coast league, and Hap Hoganite, informed Mr. Goldberg the other day that the Tigers would be looking for chance ,o train in Phoenix next spring.
 The advantages of this arrangement wifi be strongly pointed out to the two managers. Each will be informed of the coming of the other. and the deal ought, therefor to go through without much trouble.
 Said the former manager of the Browns:
 we must tell each team what is here Inform the managers that we sse willing to provide a grass diamond If they want it-and shower baths

AUTOMOBILES. CALLED
 coNTRABAND OF WAR
Consignment of MaxwelIs for Tsinetau, China, Held at Vancouver, B. C.

Word has reached the Detroit office of the Maxwell Motor company that sAipment of 1915 Maxwells, consigned tc Tsingtau, China, has been held up ip Vancouver from whence they were to be shipped by boat to Tsingtau.
 This bit of news has a special sig RIffcance just now as Tsingtau is a German province, and the German army is concentrating at this point. Great Britain will of course take every rgecaution to see that no exports leave her province for other countries, and fer this reason, has undoubtedly seized the consignment for the German province, as a contraband of war.
 The Maxwell cars included in this shipment were new 1915 models, and, wth one or two exceptions, were all ready sold, thereby taking them from u1der the protection of the United 8ates. Two of the cars had been sold p Germans residing at Tsngtau, while others were going to customers farther inland.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

ELGIN, August 22-The Elgin Ma tjonal road race, which both yester- day and today was won by Ralph De Palma. developed tragedy today.

 Spencer" the Dude"
 Spencer Wishart was more like a young high school boy than an auto mobile racing pilot. Slight. hand some, almost boyish of expression he stood out among the burly, often dissipated drivers. Among the scores of nationally known pilots, gathered at the Santa Monica track for the Vanderbilt and Grand Prix races last winter, Earl Cooper alone upheld the highbrow traditions with Wishart among the many roughnecks who now call auto racing their business
 The writer knew Wishart well and always found him just as clean cut in mind as he was in body.
 It is said of him that he never entered race dishevelled or un- groomed. It was his fancy to wea: rather high white collar, with g carefully knotted tie, in every race He would put on suit of clear overalls to cover his regular clothes and usually managed to come out ol the grind as well dressed as he went in.
 In his five years of racing fame Wishart has driven Meccers. It wa. with a Mercer that he set three worlds records in the Columbus 200 mile race August g. 1912. He helt the world records for the seventy five miles in 1:15:52.5; the hundred miles in 1:40:31; the 150 miles il 2:3O:51.
 l Owing to his quiet bearing an, ecntlemanly habits, Wishart was hel, in high favor by all racing men. Hi breeding was respected but he wal never out of his element among tn many greasy mechanicians and some l times greasier drivers.
 There goes the Dude. He sure i hittin' 'er up today. I'm for him!' 1 were exclama tions often heard in tn, rits, even among the assistants O rival pilots.

and other things needed at training quarters. We don't need to pledge them a cent in real money"
 Murray, in a letter to Hayes declares that St. Paul is open to an offer, and that in 1916, Cleveland, which is now tied up in a contract with San Antonio, Texas, will also consider Phoenix. This is excellent news to the fans who are anxious to see some regular baseball between just such chaps as Hap Ho- gan's Tigers and Pat Murphy's Mill lers.
 About today's game. This is day of judgment among the fans of Phoe- nix It is day upon which the forces of Tog and the forces of Lon are to meet in the first game of possible series. All the old favorites will be there Honest J. SchoolbOy, Pep Cook, Ritchie, last years Silent Boss, Duke Whit, who goes after 'em, Doc" Goodman, once a Mesa hurler, Little Warren. Eddie Scott, the big first sacker of the Maroons a couple of seasons back, Lin- dey, a debutante of a brief weeks time, Smiley, the 1.-the Mexican hurler, Pug Glow. the home run hitter of last sea-
 son.
 Mesa too, has been strengthening up. Mitchell, the heavy hitting catcher of
 the Ray team, and the familiar of all our own boys will be backstop Lam gowski's team. O'Brien. the big seep- ing twirler who beat Miami the third
 game of the series, will pitch. Barrett, formerly captain of the Solons, will
 swing his efficacious willow in behalf of the southsiders. Hathaway. who played some shortstop ball for the Sen ators. will hold down the left field po- sition with the visitors.
 One-half game separates the Giants
 and the Braves for the leadership of the National league. The Braves are quoted at to 10 to win the National league pennant, and 'tis whispered around and about that the same odds are offered on the Athletix in the world series, providing the Bostonese manage
 to squeeze past the Gothamites.

 peso will be squandered on those two teams during their next set of con- l bats c

Beauty devotees are enthusiastic
over the identifying qualities of mer-
colized wax. Nothing discovered

such small expense. The principal
reason for its wonderful merit is that
it works in harmony with physiologi-
cal laws. Instead OF hiding complex

tually takes off the aged, faded, sallow
freckled or blotchy cuticle, gently,
gradually, causing no Inconvenience.

is retarded because of deficient cfrcu-
