ANOTHER FEATURE ADDED ID
 RACE MEET WEEK FROM SUNDAY

Sellner's yellow pup has been short ened up considerable. all sorts of pep injected into it's innards where it will do the most good. and numerous other dark room experiments have been per- formed, that are of the utmost mys- seriousness to the ordinary layman. Ellie now rises to elocute that he is going to be in all the real races, from start to finish. and that the rest of the riders better look out, or he is liable to do some running down and over, even if it does clog up his carburetor.
 That the Excelsior people have some thing or other up their sleeves, is an undOubted fact around motorcycle cen ters. What this animal, person or ma chine which they have secreted on their person is. remains to be found out but considerable conjecturing is being done by the rest of the riders and their ad herants. It is presumed that Don Johns is going to be here. but as Johns refuses to answer telegrams and num- erous wireless dispatches on the sub ject. most everyone is at a loss to say , definitely what is going to happen. But Tn spite of the secretivenesS of the racing machine suppliers, it is a cinch that there is going to be some speed developed at their fair grounds. This will probably be the last meet before the state fair in November, and will give fans a fair look and an insight at what is liable to come off during that week. when the cream of the rid CTS from all over the little old U. s. A. will be in Phoenix in an effort to show up the local speed artists.
 Willie Gerig still mopes around as 1T he had lost his last friend and if signs mean anything. it must be that he has failed to line up mount. with which he can go out and burn up a few cas- ingS on.

One more feature, the product of the fertile brain of Apollo Douglas. has been added to the lisi of events at the big race meet to be held at the fair grounds. a week from Sunday. It is nothing more or less than a race for machines of the vintage of 1911, or for notes that are even older, if any of such an ancient date can be raked or scraped up.
 The funny thing about such an en- counter as this. will he the betting on whether such and such a machine will hold Up for 9 quarter. a half or prob ably but not certainly whole mile The speed that will be warped out of these old war horses will be probably of the negligible quantity. and if the humane officers were on their resDec- tive jobs the race should be stopped. as an absolute and fragrant case of cruelty Co the dumb animals.

For the past few days he has been hanging on the fence. sort of undecided as to which way he should drop. and won deriug now he would light if he should drop.

Waterloo for Shelter Slug gers-Game is Slow and Devoid of Interest. But Slight Grudge Worked Off by Millites
LEAGUE STANDING
Especial to The Republican,

HAYDEN. Aug. 5.-'TWaS Veritahle Waterloo for the Shelter boys here this afternoon when they went up against the Mill sluSgers in one of the slowest and most one sided contests of the sea
 son. The Mill boys opened the fire works in the very first inning. After Wilde and Buddy had both hit safe Powell came up and sent safe one to
 left field making third on slow field
 work of the Smelterites. Then Zam- loch came up and hit one of the long est flies on record here placing the
 sphere over left field fence for a homer
 bringing Powell home The five hits
 of the Mill boys in the first seemed to
 put Ramey. pitching for the Shelter, somewhat in the air and the second
 was even worse. With Wilde already on bag Ramey walked Powell and Zam-
 loch in succession There were two
 out but this did not seem to annoy
 Bauer who stepped up and slammed

 ing himself and three. At this juncture CoWan replaced Ramey on the mound
 for the SmelteriteS but the slugging of
 the Mill team went merrily .on and
 when the last inning was finished. feat
 uring Stadelli knocking a two-ba gger
 by match-light, a total of fifteen big
 runs stood to the credit of Mill as against five of the shelter The one
 sided turn of affairs at the outset
 robbed the whole contest of it's pep
 and the fans were very weary, those
 who stayed. when the agony was over As poor as the exhibition was there were occasional flashes of interest pro-
 duced by nice plays such as doubles to the credit of the Shelter and one to the
 Mill This victory for the Mill gives
 them a good opportunity to tie Ray Mines for first place and a hot contest Is expected Sunday when these two
 teams meet on the Ray diamond There
 IS such keen interest in the Sunday game that a special train has been ar ranged and an excursion rate of S15O round trip announced for the occasion
 Train will leave here at 1:1O D. m. re

THE DOG TAG FUND
 BEING INCREASED
Another Contribution Has Been Re
 ceived at This Office

The dog tag fund in the hands of The Republican was increased ,yester- day by the receipt of a check for $+ from MT. Angus R. Mackay of this city, who is, spending the summer in Prescott Mir. Mackay writes: As a lover of dogs and a resident of Phoe- nix, where dogs seem to receive too little consideration, I venture. after reading today's issue, to send a check for $4 to save from destruction two dogs. The fund now amounts to SS. and The Republican would like to have the cooperation of the city authorities in the expenditure of it It was not given by the donors to be spent 1ndiscr:minately for dog tags. and thus enrich the city treasury. but to buy lease of life for pets of peo- pie who are not ahfe to pay for tags.
 The police or the officials of the collectors office would know better than anybody else where the objects of the givers of this fund could better be carried out. Ir the meantime the name Of the working woman" who started this movement has not yet been learned.

This is the simplest of side posi- tious. and practical knowledge of 1t is very easily acquired by per son having previous acquaintance with the breast stroke. The arm movements are very similar. but there is great difference in the kick the scissors kick being the best adapted for the stroke. This is very smooth and graceful stroke. when the movements are performed correctly. I cannot bring too much emphasis to bear on the necessity for a perfect relaxation. both bodily and mental Thus rigid muscles make the movement jerky. ungrace ful and an unnatural strained state of mind renders impossible the as similation of instruction The be Einner should enter the water con fident in his or her ability to master the rudimeuts of the stroke. and not m state of fearful anticipation. Confidence in the technical and phy- sical ability of the teacher is a great help in producing calm state of mind. and induces the relaxation which is SO important a part of the lesson.
 The first movements of the pri- mary side stroke are to enter the water to the proper depth, i e. half way between the waist and shoul- ders. turning sideways to the direc- tiOn in which one wishes to go. Right handed persons should learn on the right side and vice versa. After learning the stroke either side can be used by just reversing the foot movements. The pupil should stand in the water facing over the left shoulder with the right arm ex- tended full length, palm down fin gers extended and joined: the fingers pointed in the direction the beginner desires to travel The left arm ex- tends at d. right angle to the body palm down also. Now crouch and thrust the body forward in the water, looking back over the left shoulder with the face and chin well up and the back of the head and neck down in the water. Now bring the left knee Up in front of the kody at a right angle. draw up the instep of the left foot and kick to the side and back with a paving motion; holding this position till the leg is straight

At the movement, the kick the left hand is at right angles to the body palm down. it should be twined palm to the rear and brought back in line with the bodyC with with brisk pulling movement, and then turned palm down and moved out to the swimming position again. Both arm mOvemets should be made at the time time as the kick is performed. The right arm merely supports the head in this stroke and the left in conjunction with properly applied foot movements furnish the propell- ing power.
