DOUGLAS-PHOENIX ROAD RACE WILL
 BE FAIR FEATURE

Now that the big Douglas-PhoeniX
 road race to be run on November 18th is assured, plans are going forward rapidly to make this the biggest event of its kind ever held in the Southwest, and from early indications 1t promises not only to outclass all previous road races held in this stats, but in the number of entries and time of running it is expected that it will excel the famous Los Angeles to Phoenix desert classic.
 Secretary Shaughnesly of the state fair commission states that his office is literally flooded with inquiries re- garding the race and requests for entry blanks and conditions. With hardly an exception the desire is ex- pressed to enter the track races to be held on the fair grounds November 18th. To date he has been assured of one car from Yuma, three cars from Tucson, one from Bisbee, three from Douglas, two from Globe, one from Clifton, one from Miami, one from Lordsburg, New Mexico, one from Deming, New Mexico, and four from Phoenix.
 The fact that this race is limited to cars from Arizona, New Mexico and Texas only, eliminates the possibility of having to compete with the big, es- pecially constructed racing cars driven by professional drivers and will give the local men an equal chance for the money.
 The present plans call for the race to start from Douglas at an early hour in the morning, the possibility of checking station in Tucson and a fin ish on the fair grounds before the grandstand the same afternoon.
 Secretary T. D. Shaughnessy states that he will be glad to furnish any one with further information concern ing these events, and printed copy of conditions and entry blanks can be had by addressing him in care of the State Fair.
 Much of the enthusiasm developed in the road race as far is due to the efforts of Dick Hollingsworth, repre- sentative of the Chancellor & Lyon company, automobile accessory supply house, Los Angeles, who is making a tour of the state in the interests of the Toad race and track meeting at this years state fair. Mir. Hollings- worth is the official starter for the A. A. A., who started the races at last years Fair and will officiate in the same capacity again this year.

A letter was received in Oatman yesterday from Governor Hunt which contained the news that he will arrive here the early part of next week on a campaign visit.

The crosscut from the northwest drift is in a very hard rock and progress is necessarily slow. This crosscut is being run to cut the ore showing on the surface. The ore will be cut at depth of approximate ly 150 feet from the surface. Sinking will be started in the near future.

GOOD FIND MADE IN
 WEAVER DISTRICT

Fay Mills was in town yesterday showing specimens of ore from a strike made on his property in the Weaver district. The rock shows free gold in plentiful quantities but the principal values are in copper. The strike was made one one of seven claims recently located by Mir. Nils and Mrs. Eva Keyes Barney.
 The claim on which the strike was made adjoins the Mocking Birdmine one one side and the June Bride owned by William Richings, formerly chief engineer of the Tonopah and Goldfeld railroad who has as an associate Charles Southworth, a well known Nevada mining engineer. They have been operating in that section for the past five months and have four groups of claims.
 The property owned by the New adams is said to run high in copper values ond on the last visit to Chloride Mir. Richings said he believed there was a copper zone in that district equal to any in Arizona.
 Fay Mills is so elated over his strike that he is considering the advisability of the abandoning the stage business and starting development work on his property.
 The new postofice boxes are now installed and the public is breathing a sigh of relief.
 Mir. and Mrs. David F. Holt de- parted yesterday for Santa Barbara, Cal, where they will temporarily make their home. The Holts made many friends in the camp who regret their departure.

heavy rain put q stop to the plan OF
the Yale football coaches to hold prac-

where they ran through signals TOR q

two varsity ha1tbacks, were then CIV

through the second team lines.
Practice in breaking through ended
the practice for the Yale team The
sending Of LeGore and Neville through
the seconds line may mean that
Coach Jones will count more heavily
on them for the heavy plays. Neither
LeGore nor Neville is very effective in
hard straight line bucks although both
of them are very efficient in going
around the end and running. in an
open field.
/ Shorty Smith was still with the Sec

until tomorrow morning even.
In order to assure the finishing Of
the erection OF the seats in time for
the game tomorrow it is now expected
that huge artificial lights will be
placed at the bowl this evening to
enable the work to go on during the
night as it is not believed that it will
be possible to finish before dark this
afternoon.
Gangs of workmen will be kept
busy under the bright lights until the
work is done so that all may be ready
for the kick off tomorrow afternoon.
This win be quite a novel sight but
the management Is determined to
have the work completed in time

and colder Saturday making condi-
tons that would seem to be likely to

HE CAN TROUNCE ROSS

John r. Reisler, the New York pro-
noter, has the following to say about
Jimmy O'Hagan, who will meet
Hughey Ross in the star bout at the
Casino December /:
"1 am bringing Jimmy O'Hagan. the
new m1ddleweight pugtlistic star OF
Albany. to Bridgeport to box Hugh
Ross, the middleweight boxer of
Bridgeport, at the Bridgeport A. c.,
on December /. understand this
chap Ross has been creating quite q
name Tor himself at the expense of Al
Mccoy, the present middleweight
champion, and Knockout Brennan. It
was after these two bouts that Ross
publicly announced that he could stop
o. Hagan in eight rounds.
"Well, I accepted the terms OF the
Bridgeport A. c., and now Ross will
get the opportunity Of making good
his threat. TO emphasize my conten-
ton that O'Hagan is the peer Of them
all. T will wager with Ross or any OF
his friends 81 900 that O'Hagan puts
Ross on the tiat Of his back before the
tenth round The club officials inform
me that Battling Levinsky will Off
ciate as referee. This move certainly
is acceptable to both OHagan and

sky, has made what term, a popular
move.

in superb shape for O'Hagan, as I
don't want Ross to make an excuse
after the bout is over. will have no

LES DARCY PICKS
MAN he BELIEVES
CAN BEAT WILLARD

Pugflisn's outstanding feature is the
over estimate placed by noted boxers
on the ability of other fighters. That
a man Of undoubted skill who has
captured title and who has been
through all the, mazes of the game
cannot properly guage the, merits of
another boxer is astonishing. Yet it
is proved true by several of the most
prominent boxers in the world. Per-
sona1 friendship may account for
some of the complimentary opinions,
but not all Of them.
Tommy Ryan, one OF the best mid
dleweights OF all times, declared that
Hugo Kelly, q boxer Of mediocre skill,
would succeed to the, title Of the class,
but Kelly never got anywhere near
the championship. Kelly, however.
was troubled with his shoulders.
which may be the reason.
Jim Corbett picked Steve O'Donnell,
Mike schreck and Tom Cowler as
good championship. timber. but
neither exhibited anything to sustain
Corbett's Judgment. Recently Corbett
announced his belief that Billy
Weeks, middleweight champion Of
SesLdOd, WOuAu 1udho tAC IOV-
Founders sit up and take notice. As
Weeks is q new man in the game, he
may make good eventually and give
Jim at least one winner.
Even the great Les Darcy is not
free OF the tendency to name proba-
BILE champions, and has put his spar
ring partner, Jim Tracy. in the hall of
future fame. Darcy suggests Tracy as
the man to tear the heavyweight
crown from the brow Of Jess Willard.
Tracy is known to Australians as
sThe Cornstalk." He is 18 years old
and stands feet 4 inches in his
stocking feet. He weighs 1872 pounds
in training. Darcy says Tracy is the
only sparring partner he has ever had
who has shown that he can stand up
and give and take. Tracy has taken
enough clouts on the jaw, says Darcy,
to put an ordinary iron man away,
but he has always bobbed back look
ing for more.
ORGY hopes to put on his protege
rs or 80 pounds, send him along in
some 20 round bouts and then pilot
him to America to begin series of
elimination bouts that will bring him
up to Jess Willard for title fight.
'The Cornstalk'' has proven his worth
against scrappers of ability, and his
shown considerable class for the
youngster.

Levinsky Was Stale
Is Morgan's Excuse

Dan Morgan bcbs up with the fol-
lowing about Battling Levinsky: hli
Battling Levinslxy. the light heavy
weight champion, showed in his battle
with Carl Morris at Kansas CITY last
week, that he could easily handle the
weight of Jeas Willard. Morris who
is six feet four inches in height, and
weighs ESQ pounds, in condition. was
outboxed and outslugged in the last
three rounds Of fast Is round con-
test 80
A sporting writer ON the Kansas
City Journal, who witnessed the bout.
claimed that Levinsky should have re-
ceived a draw. as he made big Morris
look foolish, boxing rings around him.
It was Levinsky's 10th fight in d lit
tie over ten months. and there is no
doubt, that he was a little stale. But
1t showed that Battling Levinsky can.
handle big fellows like Jess willard.
With about three weeks training, Le-
whisky would throw boxing gloves at
big Jess
