O|CK SITS IN GAME AT THE POPULAR SHOW
Phoenix, Ariz., March 6, 1915.

Phoenix, Ariz, March 6, 1915. Dear Jim:
 Say, Bud, I took a flyer with a stack against the poultry show at the corru gated shanty called Coliseum last night, and believe me I cleaned up. I ooped the drag for the once over and the hurried fit, but after my glims glom- med off the first squint when the chickens took a fall out of the welcome to our city, I lined up for the double l. dong lingering)-Oh, let him up he'd all cut.
 Earl Hall-here's a rare old bird had spasm of joy that caught every body at our domicle away on the early vacation. But my knowledge bump got hep to his stuff quicker than chorus doll to an angel, and I stayed for the after show. He sure grabbed himself some pippin Of part in this bill, and goes for the kale with the Foxy Grand pa thing that is way to the grapes every jump of the road. I still claim got tipped on the deal though, cause he renigged with the hoofing and warb- ling noise and left me tied at the post.
 Then Beanie Vivienne, the dame with the high brow pipes cut loose with mess of bird noise. Did I fall-Surest thing you know. What kind of a break can d poor hick like yours truly get with crowd of class like that? When she raved about "A Little Love A Lit tie Kiss" I fell harder than a stage manager for a single chicken act, and you know that's going quite few. claim that she can make some of these prime dougknuts roaming throughout the realf look like a soiled two spot in perfectly new deck.

 Oh. by the way. I musn't overlook a beautiful bet. Marjorie Shaw and Kid Caldwell-he of the fluttering pipes staged go getter that loomed up big ger than the mob scene in Ben Hur. Take it all and all, I got big run for the gate fine and checked up all to the good.

A Splendid Weekly.

Since the outbreak of the war of the nations in Europe the work of the camera men of the Universal Film company has been the talk of the world of moving pictures. The bravery of these men who are pre- serving the actual picture of the great events has been cause for much comment. Another of the splendid weeklies of the Universal company, containing number of these pictures, is at the Regale thea ter today. Among the pictures that if shows is one of Britains Indian troops. the first films taken of the great East Indian contingent fighting in Europe for the British Taga. A good Universal feature, Lights and Shadows with Pauline Bush in the lead, will be another feature of the program, while the Mutual program will furnish two excellent reels, and a Universal comedy will complete the six reel bill.

capitals in the year immediately pre- ceding the outbreak of the present hostilities. Her ability to change from one character to another all most within the wink of an eye, as well as her reckless bravery, caused her to be employed by certain gov ernment to take secret dispatches to their ambassador at another capitol, to reach, which she was forced to cross hostile borders. This, together with the fact that other secret service agents of other countries would very much like to get the information she carried, led her into difficulties galore. All of this makes a very fine five reel film, which was purchased for exhibition in the United States by the we'll known World Film company. and the hand some young woman can be seen at the Lamara theater today only. The whole performance is very much worth while.

EVELYN THAW IN
 NEW FEATURE FILM

Threads of Destiny" in which Eve lynNesbit Thaw the wife of the noted Harry Thaw, who has been fighting for his liberty, for so many years will be shown, at the Empress today and to- morrow nights, with special matinee both afternoons at 2:30 o'clock. She will play the leading part in a Lubin masterpiece of five parts, which will show many scenes, in Russia, and some of the many hardships placed on the Jews, who were exiled to Siberia. From beginning to end of this great feature there is interWOven through all of the trials and hardships a beautiful love story.
 Also Russel William Thaw. her son, will play a good part in this picture and it is useless to add that he plays it well as he could not help but be an actor.
 There are few people in the United States that have had more publicity in the newspapers than Evelyn Nesbit ThaW and her husband. This alone, if she were not one of the best actresses of the day, would hake it a picture no one would want to miss. The new owner and manager takes pleasure in presenting this great picture to his pat rons, without any advance in prices, in spite of the fact that it is very ex- pensive picture.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
 CLEANED BY THE CUB
By THE CUB

Though Glendale High is com paratively young school, it is coming well to the front in athletics. Last year they showed up good in both baseball and track, but their base ball team of this season, which is to meet the Ccyo\ s of Phoenix High in Glendale this afternoon, is much faster than last year. and they in tend to make the Coyotes work hard for every run they get
 The Glendale boys have played two games so far in the regular series. and drew Mesa for the first and Tempe High for the second. The Glendale team contends that the third time is the charm and are go- ing after the game this afternoon. The Coyotes will not be asleep at the switch, however, and as they need this game to give them second place in the league, they are going to try hard to win.
 If the Coyotes win this afternoon at Glendale. and Mesa wins from Tempe at Mesa, it will tie the three schools for first place, and Of course the Coyotes are naturally hoping that the Mesa team will win over the Tempests. The Coyotes are in fine form for this afternoons game. The new battery has been working good as they did last Saturday it will not be hard to guess how the game will go. The Glendale car leaves the corner of First street and Washington at two o'clock, arriving at Glendale at three-ten. In view of this fact the game will probably not start until three thirty.
 A practice meet was held on the tracks of the school yesterday aft ernoon, at which time Coach Geary was able to size up some of his ma terial. There were three events, and to put some interest into the meet they were made class events The thousand yard relay race was won by the post graduate team, seniors second and juniors third. The next event was a special one lap race in which the seniors took first and the juniors second, the sophomores took third place in this race. The third event was thousand yard run Soule of the seniors took first, Eos burg of the junior class took second It was exceedingly interesting and good number of the student body turned out to root for their classes
 The Coyote carnival comes off on next Friday evening. Biggest thing of the season.
 The German club is going across the river tonight to give their enter tainment at the Neighborhood house. This proves the merit of their per formance few weeks back

THE CIRCUS MAN HAS
 COME TO TOWN AGAIN

No. he didn't wear loud clothing. Quite the reverse. There was nothing of the hallyhoo man about his voice, but just the same when he entered the office, the city editor looked up and said:
 "Circus,"
 All of which was correct. For today there arrived in town William F.. Haines, contracting agent. to announce that the Sells Floto circus and Buffalo Rilrs original Wild West would be here for a one days engagement. afternoon and evening. Tuesday. April 13.
 He also had many other things to an- nounce which were-but to quote MT. Haines
 We found last year what We be- lieved to be the ideal combination in the circus business. the union of circus and wild west and novelties. And so this year we've augmented every de- partment There are to be more wild west features than ever, with real cow boys and real cowgirls and rancheros and range riders. There are to be more have some novelty. There are to be more circus acts and more of every thing else-even to a merry go round right on the grounds. But and the circus man became impressive-"the price hasn't changed bit. It'll still be 25 cents general admission, including a seat"
 MT. Haines talked much of the par ade that is to be given by the circus when the big show comes here.
 "A merchant shows his samples, doesn't he?" MT. Haines said That's just what we do in the parade-a sam pie of everything in the show, even to inal Buffalo Bill, himself"

 Now settle down to the steady grind of it for we're going to do the same thing over again just ninety nine times more before we have our chance to show those Maxwell rooters in the stands and along the course that we're the best car in this race.

NONSTOP CARLSON

 PecordO

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-tSpe- tciah-I have just made a thorough in- spection of the course inside the Pana- ma-Pacific exposition grounds OH which we will race the Vanderbilt to- morrow.
 In the light of what I saw. feel that I could go safely on record with the prediction that the winning car VIII average better than 7S miles an hour
 The reader of this prediction Will un- derstand thoroughly what this means if. in imagination, he will consent to be my mechanic for a round of the course as if will be on race day. and as l De- Iieye he would ride it in competition.
 Imagine It's Race Day
 We're at the start.
 Two by two. the cars in front of us are getting the word and whlzzing away at 3O-second intervals.
 As each pair leaves we move slowly forward. Above the roar of the ex- hausts we can hear the crowd of 25,ooo persons in the mammoth stand cheer ing it's favorites.
 We reach the line and Starter Wag- ner begins counting the seconds In my car.
 Ten, nine, eight, seven'-he tolls them off till, at his word "Go! ne slaps me on the back and we're off. One jump we make in low gear. the second. and we're rolling at sixty when I shift into high. Almost before we know it we leave the clay of the mile track home stretch. drop five or six feet on an easy incline and find our selves on the asphalt.
 We're doing eighty when I shut off momentarily for quick jog around Junction Curve" that takes us into the first long straightway. More than q mile it stretches out in front of us, as we tear into it.
 The First Straightway Up to eighty again-ninety, hun dred and hundred and five. This is surely rolling. The palms along the beautiful asphalt street look to us like an unbroken wall of green. Our ex- haust bellows back of us from the great buildings. The jewels on the big tower honor us with special glitter of their rainbow-hued bangles. We seem to be running squarely into a building in front of us, but just as collision seems certain, I shut off the power and apply the brakes.
 Be careful you don't leave your seat and bump your nose on the cowl-we're only using a city block to slow down from our awful speed to about 45 miles an hour in the first right-angled turn. We may take a good slide as we go around but there is plenty of room so we straighten out and are hitting nine- ty before we have to slow down again to do the same thing over again at the first turn homeward-another one, square to the left and not so broad as its mate. n zHsG Dodging the "Bowman" As before, we shift gears and leap into our speed again, making a quick dodge around the tall shaft carrying 1 the Adventurous Bowman" Perhaps that 105 didn't seem quite | fast enough for you few seconds ago Very well, hold on tight for we're on the fastest part of the whole course. Our speedometer shows better than 110 and from now on, we're on as fine a surface as a motor car could ask, and l it's just a bit down grade Take a good breath; you'll need it. See that dlal! Yes, hundred and twenty five; that's it. Now look out!
