Proposition to Hold County Fair at This Place Will Be Put Up to Commercial Club Thursday Evening. Grounds Donated

In their Nearning for excitement. the motOrcyclists of this town just simply cannot stay put Now. a lot of them are agitating a race meet at the fair grounds for May "a Sunday, while most of the atmosphere of the sport world will be clear, the Phoenix leaguers being occupied that day with Tucson at the Old Pueblo.
 And evening that isn't all. Ellie Wilson is bowling for q Phoenix Tempe loop race of 150 odd miles.
 Wilson and Tommy Thompkins and others will go before the motorcycle club at it's next meeting and make a bid for the track events for two weeks from yesterday. It is desired to push forward the younger riders. and in order to do this. they want to have q few novice races-entries limited to boys who have never won a race before
 The plan for the road race is pre- tentious Decoration day is the oc- casion picked for it. The city and county will be asked to boost the speed limit on that day, so the riders can make some time along the Butte road and the State Highway-botn of which are now in pretty good con- clifton.
 It was suggested that the race start and finish at the corner of Adams and Second Streets, so that the riders could get two blocks of bitu- lithic on which to get their steam up. From the end of the pavement On Jefferson stret the race course

BY SCOOP

Playing errorIcss ball back of in- different pitching, and swatting the hall when they felt playful, the Phoe- nix sluEgers took it away from Mesa Tempe last evening. by a score of five to Morris and Butler Right here it should be noted that this is the first errorless ball that has been produced on local lot in a good naany moons. And incidentally. if it were not for an almost eNcusable boot that r.. Williams made in the earl,- stages. Mesa. too, would have gotten by without anything but cyph- CTS in the right hand column of the box score
 M,Grecry started out as though he would blank the visitors in both hits and runs But Rolly Pomeroy stopped all those fool notions in the fourth inning by dumping the ball into deep conterfield. where neither Pittman or pemaggio could get it. Also, Rolly had done some very creditable work out in the field, himself. In fact, there seemed to be no disposition on the part of the locals to let very many haiiS get lnlO NlOIIlS Illlls oO every one of 'em accepted at least one delivery of MT. Leechy Oviedos to slam out into the midst of the players. One result was that Pom erov acquired five puts outs so quick that his head rang-or should it be sPclled wrang?
 Mesa got five safeties out of it- and would you believe it-four of them ks Tho nIp gag about being a good old ball player if he could just hit received considerable jolt from this little line of facts. but it was also noticeable that whenever hits meant runs. Messrs. McGreery and Toner didn't distribute very many hits. This ability to tighten up in pinch is what gets more than one hurler by with his manager.
 As a pitcher, Herb Hester was some fielder He broke solemn promise not to put Toner in the box until after the season opens, when he substituted that husky and red headed person for McGreery in the seventh. And Toner lolled around trying to get the stiff out of his arm, until Griffen and others had wrung him for three hits and a run in his two innings. and then to square it. Hester traded jobs with him. As we have remarked. Hester pitched q thousand per cent in the fielding de- partrnent. In that first of the ninth, he made Griffen roll lazy one down to Toner. and in crossing over to take the throw at the bag. beat the big Tempean just enough sos Griff Number Nine landed on his (Hester's) own trilby- IL took Hester's shoe off clean as knife. and tumbed the two players over q large part of the first base foul line. Then we asked Umpire Herb Hall how he judged Griff out. that young man said. Well, Hester's foot musta touched the bag first for Griffen to step on it." Where upon we figure MT Hall to be right smart quick under the hat. to have

would go straight south to the corner of the old Polk Street grounds, thence diagonally to Central avenue. After crossing the bridge, the riders would swing to the left along the eight mile Butte road to the main street of Tempe. and from that point cut di- rectly back to Phoenix via Van Buren street
 ThOmpkins and Sellncr made a log of the route for The Republican and found il to be just d trifle over g miles to the lap. Where Van Buren shape for speeding and the excel lent condition of the other long straightaway on the Butte road is wide going except for the place where it dodges the two red hills On this course, there would be but five right angle turns. located as follows:
 One at Van Buren and Second street: one on south Central avenue: one where the Butte road crosses Mill avenue, Tempe; one where the road turns off Mill avenue. and one where It turns again into the roadway of the Tempe bridge.
 The plan is to raise a little money at the track races. add a little by subscription from Phoenix ana Tempe, get about a hundred dollars worth of merchandise prizes, and charge 'em a dollar or two to enter.
 There would be about fifteen to twenty entries for such race. and the list would include such riders as BoIdo. Wilson, Sellner, Gerig, O'Con- nell Fogle, Albright, CraRdalI, Berg. Valentine and Butler.

LAMARA SCORES WITH

Down at the Lamara Theater to- day they have d picture on view which is certainly all that the press has claimed for il.
 When Henri Bcrnstein's Samson" was produced at the Criterion The ater in New York a few years ago with William Gillette in the leading role, it was somewhat of a disap- pointment over in Paris it's success was nothing short of sensational, but if seemed to lose something in the translation and while it was hailed as a great literary work, the punch had gone. It was shelVed after q short run and remained dormant until the big producers began to use the legitame drama in film form Wheth- CT it is because it is not a spoken drama. or just because the producer has managed to grasp all of Bern stcin'S ideas in the film version, it is hard to say; but what ever the cause the result is unqueStioned Samson" in film form is wonder fully strong and virile play and it certainly made a hit with yesterdays audiences at the Lamara. It will he shown for the last time today and should not be missed by anyone who cares for the really good in movie drama.
