Schedule.

Rfchmonders will this week bid fare
well to Professor Joe Kesnich and his
band of musicians. who for The sum
mer months have delighted young and
old men, women and children with the
music they rendered in the parks of the
city. People who depended upon the
municipal band for their share OF pleas
urs during the long hot weeks VIII
regret the passing of the band for
another year
As an added feature this week, Pro-
fessor Kesnich will let the listeners
at the concerts hear their own selec
tIons played by the band. Tho way
Professor Kesnich will work this sys-
tenn is very simple. Monday night he
has selected his own program and will
play IN Chimeorazo Park. This pro-
gram, which is one OF she best OF the
season, he thinks sufficient to last the
entire week. but he wishes to please
the public. People who wish to make
selections can do so by dropping Pro-
fcssor Kesnich a card at his residence,
9GS East Clay Street. or calling him by
phone. Madison 1855 Those who do
not care TO do this can send their
selections to the Richmond yirginian
Office and they will be forwarded to
Leader Kesnich.
Dislikea Criticism.
Through this plan the band hopes
TO show certain critical persons who
have made remarks. oral and written.
concerning the hand, that It can play
any kind OF music. One letter sent n
Richmond newspaper alleged that Pro-
fessor Kesnich knew very little about
! selecting music, that he failed to please
Richmond citizens who heard 1t. This
same correspondent said that he had
visited other large cities, such as Phil
! adelphia, Chicago and ew York and
that at these places better bands than
Kesnichs played for the city.
/ The leader of the municipal band
readily answered the correspondent,
/ telling him that he could not expect
band OF twenty pieces to make as
much noise as one of sixty. employ ed
by larger cities. The Council of Rich
mond allows but SIS, 600 a season for the
band concerts and this does not go
very far. A majority OF people here
are satisfied with the Kesnich band.

BEST GAME YET
 AT HAYDEN TOWN
Report from Hayden Has It That Game Was Classy, But Was Malred in Spots by Bum Umpiring- Seen by a Few
Especial to the Republican,


 HAYDEN, Aug. 2.-The game at Ray Sunday between the Shelter and The ~Ray Mines was one of the best games played in the local league it being a pitchers battle from start to finish. Glavenich for the Mines having wonderful control and flaming 13 men. against four famed by Stevens for the Shelter The weak hitting of the Mine boys resulted in their defeat as they were unable to hit the apple The fielding If both teams was good. only two CT TOTS being made throughout the game-oue by Hester second base man for the Mines. and one by Gar rity. shortstop for the Shelter. Both errors resulting in eL run.
 Umpire AIcGilvrey overlooked a rot ten play on third base when Garrity slid past the base nearly three feet and was deliberately picked up and placed on base by Coacher Stafelli for the Shelter. This play was mo- ticed by all the fans and bah players uf both teams. The Smetlerites. ev- erythlng considered. played a fairly Eentleuanly game as they only lost their temper and began their grabbing St-n-S three times in the whole game Whalen is credited with once but all of his profanity was in an undertone and not heard by the grandstand
 II is hoped that since the new rules have been put into effect that there will he no more grabbing. The umpire is there to play the game and the players should all abide by his de- Cisions for he cannot change them and trying to make him believe he is wrong only delays the game and makes bad feeling for the fans towaPd the players on both sides.

FIVE HUNDRED MILES
 0F COCH|SE HIGHWAYS

To provide for a highway system embracing 512 miles of good roads Cochise county will in the near fu- ture call a special bond election. De- Termination of the roads to be in cluded in the new system has been made by the County Bond Associa- tion and the county engineer, and as soon as the probable cost is estimated the election will be called.
 Just how much will be necessary to take care of the proposed construction work in Cochies county has not yet been determined, but it is estimated that a bond issue of not less than $750,000 will be proposed. County Engineer J. C. Ryan of Cochise cOun- ty is now engaged in going over the plans submitted and estimating the cost of the improvements.
 Plans are also under way in Coconi- no county for an earl election to vote s350, 900 for good roads. and the iRli- cations are that the issue will carry by a large majority.

 The bridge is of reinforced con- crete, and is $50 feet in length, there being ten spans. The roadway is IS feet wide, and the floor of the bridge some twenty feet above the surface of the river Work on the approaches is being pushed with all possible speed, and just as soon as the false work can be removed the new cross ing will be ready for all corners.
 Although the bridge is in Yuma county, and the celebration will be under the auspices of the Yumaites. officials and good roads workers of Maricopa county will be invited to take part in the dedication, which will probably take place some time next month

MASTER SIX STOPS STREE! CAR BUT IS
 STILL IN THE RING
Car Sold by O'NeiII Garage is Hit by Street Car, Body Is Only Thing Damaged, and Car Comes to
 Phoenix Under Own Power

Reporting the road from Tucson in the best condition he has ever seen it, Maurice ONeill returned from the Old Pueblo late Sunday evening. He drove up in a Master Six Chalmers and turned the trick in five hours and half. The car is the one sold several months ago to R. L. Slaughter of Douglas, and was brought here to have a new body fitted. Some weeks ago this car figured in a collision with street car and although the Master Six was struck full on the side and with it's weight stopped the street car, such was it's strength of construction that the only damage done was to the body
 O'Neill says that he has never driven a six" with such q tremendous reserve strength. He was accompanied by Mrs O'Neil on his trip.

Yuma Boosters Planning Celebration of Completion of New Crossing. Which Will Do Away With
 Last Ferry-Brdge to Be
 Open by August 25

With the approaching completion of the new state highway bridge at An telOpe hill on the Phoenix Yuma stretch of the southern transconti- mental highway, Yuma good roads boosters are already laying plans for a big celebration of the occasion. The last run of concrete on the new bridge was poured last week, and the final wagon load of dirt on the ap proach will be in by Saturday night The bridge will be open for traffic by August 25.
 The new crossing of the Gila north of Wellton will do away with the last ferry on the Yuma route to Califor- mia. Formerly motorists over the Borderland route were almost sure of delays at Yuma, where the Colo rado ferry has been superseded by the new steel highway bridge, and again at Dome. The latter ferry is still in operation, but the necessity for it's existence will shortly pass away. Delay here was often inevitable, whether on account of the flooded condition of the Gila or the fact that the parties desiring to cross arrived after the ferry had done it's daily stunt of transportation and were com pelled to wait until morning. The of the new bridge will be further appreciated when it is con-

AMERICAS SOCIAL IDEAL

It is of little consequence that Amer ica is girted with bigness. An ele- phant is bigger than a man and can shout louder, but is not therefore nobler among Gods creatures than his keeper. 4
 The world will never be content to test democracy by theory. The ques tion that will inevorably be asked is, Does it work? MH
 Now it will work only to the ex- tent that the rank and file of the people are able to aSSimilate the American ideal of world service.
 It is nothing to us that perhaps we can conquer other nations: we don't want to conquer them. It is nothing to us that we are rich and can build the greatest army and navy that the world has ever seen; we don't want to build them.
 The American ideal is one of ser vice to humanity. We earnestly long to serve the nations now at war and to help them to resume normal na- tion life and international relations. We earnestly long to serve our Merl- can brothers as we served our Cuban brothers, by helping them to help and to govern themselves. We earnestly long for the prosperity of the nations of South America.-Living Church.

BIGGEST RUN IN CITY
 MADE BY ?. WILLIAMS

Probably the longest run ever made in straight pool in Phoenix was made yesterday in JohnSton's billiard par Tor by Pete Williams, when he took down his trusty cue chalked it and proceeded to go out and drop a sphere into the pocket for S1 con- secutiVe times.
 A stranger wandered into the place and challenged Pete to a game, lit tie knowing that he was only to ge- one chance at the worries during the entire Hotpoint game. Pete started out and actually made S1. It may sound rather large for 3 matched game, but Harry Johnston says he saw it. and that ought to be enough for the most ardent doubteR~
 Johnston has offered a s10 prize for any other pool shark hereabouts who can better Williams record in a matched game.

Fast Mote Race Is On Tap Speeders After Revenge On Crandall

There is really going to be a motor cycle race meet at the State Fair Grounds a week from Sunday after noon. How comes all this definite information? We'll to be truthful, Ernest Douglas imparted it last night, and Ernests reputation for Veracity has never been questioned on the subject of sport
 Douglas and Tommy Imler are be- hind the project, and claim they have the cash, brains and are about to se- cure the necessary sanction to conduct a perfectly legitimate race meet of this kind and species The track has been leased for the occasion, and soon mules attached to several diff ferent varieties of drags and polishers will be at work on the oval putting it in perfect shape for this person. ally conducted meet
 The real reason, the power behind the throne as it were. for the post poning of the meet until a week from Sunday is the all consuming jealousies engendered in the breasts of the local riders, by the phenominal success at tained by our own Harry Crandall in the last few weeks. They all want to get a swipe at Harry and make q large and vicious attempt to lower his laurels to Phoenix standards.
 Crandall has grown to be a big leaguer since his advent into the rac- ing game at Dodge City. This fact has sort of aroused a little suspicion in the minds of O'Connen 4Boido, Gerig and a few others that they are real big leaguers too, and can prove their claim the same by dragging Harry's wreath in the dust around the track for most any old distance.
 Then another paramount reason for this little delay, is that the Indian people here are anxious to show local mote fans that they can acquire four or eight valve, it don't make much difference which. that can

 Arthur Luhrs and J C. Adams had planned to leave this morning for Spriugerville to locate the represen- tative. but word was received here that the road between that point and Globe at the present time, was in an impossible condition due to the heavy rains in that section.
 Ms. Luhrs telephoned to Globe and confirmed the rumor. It was learned that the road would be in good shape in about a month. and it was de cided to postpone the placing of representative there until that time

SIXTY PRISONERS FOR
 TOMBSTONE CANYON ROAD

To build a highway through almost three miles of solid rock in Tomb stone canyon, sixty prisoners will leave Florence today under guard for work on the Bisbee- Tombstone stretch of state highway in Cochise county.
 The men will be taken to the new guard camp in three large auto trucks which will be used in the road work. After they have completed two and three quarter miles of rock work they will start work on a seventeen mile stretch on the Bisbee road, which is vet to be constructed. Four and onehalf miles of the hard work in the canyon was completed early in the year. It is expected that the work will be completed in four or five months.
