STANDING OF THE CLUBS
WHERE THEY PLAY TODAY
BY IRWIN LOCKE

TUCSON. April 30.-Opportune hit ting and Class A team work enabled Phoenix to win again today. to 3. Lynn. the Phoenix catcher opened the home run season in the first inning when he sent the ball sky high over the left field fence and scored Bowling and himself with two down.
 Putnam. the center fielder got in bad by continually batting Umpire Kane from the bench. Kane warned him, then told him to shut up. then fined him 8. Pittman continued his abuse and was ordered from the grounds. He reluctantly departed and Brown was sent to center in his place.
 After Lynn showed how to do 1t. Sta delli and Barton both sent the ball over the left field fence, making three home runs for this game.
 IL was one of the coldest and most disagreeabIe days of the season. with cold heavy wind and showers. There was small crowd and two or three showers during the game but the play CTS stuck it out for nine innings.
 Hall. the pitcher is a long lanky chap and was always followed at bat by De maggie one of the smallest players in the league. Tucson fans now call them Mutt and Jeff"
 Tucson made q false alarm rally in the ninth. With two out Barton walked and Callan sent the ball over the right field fence and got a two bagger. leaving Tucson men on second and third. The crowd started to cheer and Felts. the left handed slugger was sent in to bat for Andrada. Hall grinned ard famed him apparently with ease and this ended the game.
 Hester Back on First
 Hester had been reinstated and played first It made all the difference in the world in the action of the Phoe- nix team infie!d. which now works like a smooth machine. The quartet back mp each other in great shape. The Phoenix boys have shown they can slam Stevens and Andrada almost at will but Red Fulweider gets their goat. IL Is rumored on pretty good authority that President Brown has bought pitcher released from the Northwestern League and before the series over the Phoenix bat;ers will get an unpleasant surprise Their two victories SO far are que to ability to hit the Tucson pitchers.

Says he-standin' on the curb not more than a million blocks from Center and George W. St.
 We ought to have baseball in this town mainly because there's nothing else to raise-uh-Hal Columbia about. We want to know we're alive. Now isn't that the truth?"
 And he turned around and tried to drag an innocent bystander" into the fracas
 Sure says the bystander, 'I like good game I'll blow myself once all | used to go to see the old teams, and you know that took lot of nerve. But the rest of the fans wouldn't back the team because they wouldn't put up with rotten play. A place in the sun is a lonesome place to be hy yourself, even if it is on the grandstand So by and by l quit too. But when l heard We were go ing to have real baseball again l said It's back to the bleachers for me"
 Me too" responds MT. Luhrs viva ciously. I'm tired hearing that there's nothing in Phoenix but eli mate. If that's all we've got, lets import something's regular baseball teams the thing.
 Its kinda funny about these busi- ness men. Nobody knows just how to hand it out to them. If they re the right kind they'll come across without any talk-and if they're not well. they don't add much of any thing but hot air to the already plentiful supply of climate

BUSY GIRL ID
 GET DIAMOND
Moose to Put Up Fine Ring for Ticket Selling Contest i'll Connection With Two Hundred-Mile Motorbikc Race

The girl or young lady who sells the most tickets to the great Moose 900 mile motorcycle race on May 31, will make a noise like an engaged person. At a conference of the committees yes terday. it was decided to purchase d $60 diamond ring as q reward for the young woman who turns in the most mazuma for tickets to the races. Said ring was bought instantly and outright and placed on display at the White and Wesley jewelry shop, where ali may see and admire
 This is but one of the odd stunts planned by the motorcycle committees to stimulate interest in the race. Dr Boido, the manager, went and had batch of special entry blanks printed. The committee ordered flaming post CTS to be stuck up around the country. The sanction was secured from the Federation of American MotOrcycliSts All those things accomplished in one busy day give some idea of the way the Moose and the Maricopa motor cycle club are concentrating on the pre- parations for the race.
 The entry blanks, which are master pieces of motorcycle literature are pat termed dIler those invented Dy the Olu Phoenix motorcycle club and used in many good old race meet.
 No Ball Game May 31
 By a stroke Of good luck, the mOtor- cycle race will have no opposition at the ball park the last day of this month. The schedule calls for double header at Riverside between Albuquer- que and Phoenix on Sunday May 30, but Monday is travelling day and clear. There will be no other important sport ing event to compete for crowds with the two wheeler two century.

Both Eddie and Louis Scott. for mer members of the Maroon team of this city, are making good on the Lincoln Nebraska Greens, the famous
 Indian team now playing semi pro-
 fessional ball throughout the middle east. In d letter to the sport editor
 Eddie Scott says that the old hitting eye is still good. In the opening game of their season at Wahoo, Neb-
 raska, Ed broke up the ball game in the 16th inning with d line drive between short and third with a man on third. The score was to 4. EI continues: Louis saved the day by a throw to the plate in the 12th i'm ming. He is getting to be a mighty fine fielder and quite some base run ner The Wahoo team is one of the fastest salaried teams in the state. We play some state league teams this week"
 There is not much newspaper man will not do in order to attain a sensation. A photographer on an Indianapolis daily let himself be strapped to the hood of Ed Richen- bacher's racing Maxwell the other day. facing backward, and when the car had been kicked up to s5 miles an hour. He took photos of the ex- pressions on the faces of the genial Ed and his mechanism. The news paper printed the photos claiming them to be the first of their sort ever produced. A nearly similar stunt was worked three years ago when the writer saw a photographer hang out beside a race driver on a mile track and take profile views of the speed phyz."
 Just like that, Most any team that can make a lot of home runs can win a ball game But the tri umph that Husky Herb Hall had over Tucson yesterday kinda made up for his slamming of Tuesday. and Big Six was restored to popular favor
 In the annals of motorcycling there are lots of funny things. One odd incident was related last evening by Joe O'COnnell anent his canyon trip last summer Arrived in Flagstaff. with his machine all over mud and grease. he hooked up with a town favorite who thought he could do a matter of seventy-five miles or so. Joe got into an argument with the speed bug and admitted that as his motor could do 35, nobody in Phoe nix had ever been able to pass him. A hundred dollars appeared like magic. and just as it was about to be deposited, along came a Flagstaff friend of Joes who had seen him perform on the mile track "Hullo, Joe whatchu doing here D. In an instant the snap was given away. and the town favorite, being a large man, wanted to murder the small Irishman.

to the election ct the road over

people that agree with Chill
Billie's views. When the special
tax was to be voted OF for the up
keeping of the road there
was an argument put forth
that the Police Jury would give
the working of roads to the
home people. I want to ask the
Police Jury if they know any
thing about this promise, or if
they authorized any one make
such statement?
