A 100 million dollar wage increase for

The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this

RAY CLAYPOOL WALLOPs THE
 W|NN|NG GOAL AT AUTO P0L0
British Team Acquires Title From Americans In Post Season Contest for Fair Visitors: Score Is Fiee to Four.

With q mighty wallop of his heavy mallet, Ray ClaypoOl drove over the deciding score that won the worlds championship title for the Great Brit ain auto polo team from the former title holders, the American champions. The final count was tO 4 in favor of the Britshers.
 Captain Ray Lampkn, of the new worlds champions, was. perhaps, the outstanding star of the days play. With his right arm badly lacerated, he was pinned beacath his car while the wheels were spinning rapidly. Spectators rushed to his rescue and removed the machine After several minutes he arose and despite the ef- forts of Manager Ralph Hankinson to Q put in a substitute. he continued in the game
 Many goals were saved by his timely blocking of the ball with the wheels of the little Ford And on one goal he bumped the ball along the ground ahead of the car and unaided by his mallet man, scored a point.
 The game was a regulation contest of five minute periods and the win ming Britishers annexed the purse ot 1000 that was hung up by the faiI commission. through the efforts of Sec retary T. D. Shaushnessy, to hold the players over for the championship battle.
 The attendance was placed at 3.200 which was a mighty fine tribute to the sport of auto polo. as it was the lars est audience that has ever been as sembled here for any attraction the day following the closing of an Ari- zona state fair.
