Ray LeSueur, who is usually rather de- pcndable. ran away with the score book. thus leaving Republican fans no chance to see the game at second hand.
 Next Sunday. Manager Langowski has decided will be an open date on the Southside, while Pittman''s pick up team clashes with the Chinese Univer slty squad team from Honolulu. Pitt man will engage the fastest of the Mesa men, together with what material he can glcan here and there about the vicinity in order to give the Celestials a good run down at Riverside park The HaWaians come with the best recommendations in the world. They have decisively defeated nearly every college team in America, teaching the Collegians to play their own game In addition to being good ball players, | they are vaudcvillists of no mean abil- i ity. and for that reason, their banquet at Sings Monday night will attract wide attention. Sing will have the Vis- itors as his guests.
 The Sunday following the appear ance of the Chinese Tempe and Mesa | will play at Riverside park. And on
 March 31. Langowski gets the far 1 famed White SoX of Chicago for q
 training trip contest. Late adviccs
 from the camp indicate that Comskcy | will come with the team, and that most
 of his big fellows will take the south | ern route. while the YaniganS go north | along with Kid Gleason. Among the men of wide lame. who will play here l against Mesa, are Eddie Collins. late of the Athletics, Ed. Walsh the spitballist

 Boido mistook the flags and thought he had finished. He came nearly to q full stop before he got the cue to go on around and win second.
 Meanwhile, Berg was shooting around the turns, all his bad luck be- hind him. Big tires and road bars kept down his speed, while a stop for q spark plug and another for q set of goggles in the early stages had put him hOpelessly behind.
 After Crandalls accident, Sellner quickly went to the fence with valve trouble. Shorty Albright who had be- come disgusted with his racer, traded it for his new road machine and went back in the race, only to be called out again. This left only Gerig, Boido and Berg in the running.

The Big New York Dog
 Show

Admirers of the Collie dog fancicrs in general, and especially dog owners who exhibited their animals under the decisions of Dr. R. Fred Petit at the Stat. Fair last fall, will be entertained in news just received concerning the recent New York bench show.
 In view of the prominence this annual affair is given throughout the country and abroad. the far west was largely represented in the collie would by an entry from pr. Pettit's Bonair Collie Kennels at Albuqucr- que. x. NJ. In d letter to A. II. Fitz. secretary of the Phoenix Kennel club. of which organization Dr. Petit is an honorary member, he states that his young sable and white collie bitch. "Scedley Smile,' bred by him, captured high honors in tine open class at the big New York show. This class, which is open to the en- tire world, was an exceedingly strong one. his youngster winning. however, m thc largest entry ever recorded, and in the hottest competition in twenty years. There were nearly two hundred entries of the collie breed which competed with the bulls for popularity. and included six in ternational champions in the class.
 Dr. Petit also won in the shows given recently at Philadelphia, New York and Lynn, and next week will bench his coming champion with oth CT coi!ieS from his kennels in the much talked-of Charity Show in New York and also is entered at the an nual interstate affair at Philadelphia, given by the Collie club of America.
 To give enc an idea of the i'm rlensi;y of the New York bench show, which is the largest annual event of the kind in the world, given under American Kennel club, rules il may be stated the number of en- tries this year exceeded by hundreds any previous figure. Altogether 2745 dogs competed for the many prizes, the breeds being divided into 975 classes

This is Optimism

Connie Mack. the manager of the Philadelphia Athletics is quoted as say lng:
 l have every reason to believe that the Athletics will again win the Ameri- can LeaSuebpennant. I am confident that my young twir,ers will more than make good, and that what remains of my 1914 team will be out there working like the champions of old'
 If Mack, with his record of six Am erican League pennants and three of the worlds championships. can win another pennant this season with two pitchers in Bender and Plank and two infielders in Collins and Baker. mis- sing he will go down in baseball his tory as the managerial marvel of the game.

and the retailer, with few to pre- venting cut prices on eggs and other ranch products, as special bargain offers.
 MT. Parke, the Arizona representa- tive of the National Boys and Girls clubs. was present and outlined plans for the poultry clubs. It is probable from the interest shown that there will be several of these clubs formed this spring Several substantial prizes have been offered by individuals, Tn addition to the regular cups and trophies offered by the state.
 It is evident that these meetings have struck a popular chord, and preparations for entertaining larger numbers will be made, before the next meeting.

 50-M|LE RACE
Republican Mail Clerk Wins on Old Blue, After O'Con- nell and Crandall Go to Bad-Joe and Bill Are Canned in Tcn-NIilcr
By SCOOP

Our" Bill GCrig won the fifty mile track race, the feature of yesterdays motorcycle program at the fair grounds. How? We'll for two req sons. first because Old Blue. the ia nous Indian had lots of speed, and second, because two faster machines, O'Connell's Indian and Crandalls Mcrke had bad luck and ran dry of uil But The Republicans mail chief won it. and now, another local kiddO has bust into the winners class.
 Both Gerig and O'ConnelI were dis qualified in the ten miller, in. which they had led across the tape, and to Harry Crandall. who had made q pa tient. cool ride, went the honor of q second victory. His first was in the la mile race on Washington's birth day.
 The Feature Race
 OCOnnell. who was mad as seven thousand dollars over the outcome of the ten miller, went out ahead, using every ounce of speed In one mile he had left Crandall five hundred wards in the rear Gerig pursued Crandall closely, making it race for second, while Sellner and BoidO Wrangled along in the middle distance. Berg. riding Ben RudderoWs stock Harley, stripped merely of it's mud and chain guards. and Shorty Albright on stock Merkel were making an other race still further behind
 As O'Connell increased his lead. Crandall won away from Gerig, until lap separated them. Baker who was on the side lines. viewing the race from a spectators standpoint was fin ally moved to grunt protest at Joe's waste of speed, for the little Irishman had done made two laps on Crandall, when. in the 2Sth mile he went to the pits with d leaky oil line. Crandall immediately assumed considerable importance. as he leaped into the lead after making up O'COnnclrs two miles For half q dozen laps, he maintained the lead. leaving Gerig just about a mile behind when he sgnaled to his pits that he was in trouble He want ed oil, but was apparently unable to make his helpers understand it. He oVcrran the starting line. and froze his engine q hundred yards down the track
 The referee refused 10 permit him to push back to the pits
 Then, the crowd turned to Gerig. who was making a very calm. sane sort of q ride, for him. Possibly he didn't have any better speed than he displayed. At any rate, he kept up a steady grind that won him a lot of admiration. Gradually he acquired a second mile on Boido, who had stopped for oil and toward the last. these two ran neck and neck, apparently con NersinG on the most friendly terms. For fifteen miles. they maintained their positions carefully. Roido was riding his own stock machine, with
