THE CITY CALLS AND CALLS AGAIN

The City calls and calls again
 And the call is for More Men
 An island washed by river of gold
 As it's thousand products bought and sold And prince would envy the fortune paid Each week to the workers for their aid And day and night the chmneys high
 Pour out smoke to the clear blue sky" On side hear this call for men; cities towns and villages join in unison in the appea;- men, give workers loafers artisans not the unsked citizens who will build destroy; echong throughout land this call for las shifted the population from the rural districts to the cities.
 Cities have held glowing invitations of how much money could be earned the pleasures to be enjoyed and various other appeals but in few instances have We read heard of communities advertising able homes. We have gone just far stopped and quit where we should have started for modern comfort
Arizona republican., 1918-01-14

able homes for our wage earners are a necessity. It has always seemed strange to the writer when visiting
 city during convention that in the usual auto ride the city he always shown the homes of the rich when in reality he would have gained better opinion of the city shown modern attractive homes of their mill districts, for it is the mill districts which port cty not the mllionaires. Why should not cites be just proud of their mill districts their homes of the rich? Why should corporations and land lords build for their wage the look alike type of homes, when attractive and modern homes be constructed for the money.
 Let stamp the home of the with the individuality which the worker possesses This may be easily accomplished by using plans prepared by peent artists who have given study the planning of modern up-to- date small homes
 When call for men let hope that may hold nducemeDt modern comfortable homes.

FRANK KRAMER WINS
Bv PAUL PREP

The once royal game of bicycle racing
which in days gone by held the atten-
tion of thousands until the finish of the
race has lost its hold on the fans of
this city. This was proved last even
ing at the Point Breeze Motordrome,
when Frank Kramer. the American bike
champion for seventeen years. defeated
Francisco Verri. the Italian title holder
in two straight heats of one mile each
In his desire to give the people Of this
city the best that can be procured, Man
ager Jack Roden tried for three years
20 get Frank Kramer. the daddy OF
them all to ride at the Point Breeze
track. 1t wasn't the fault of Kramer,
however, that the fans did take to the
race between Vcrri and him.
Kramer rode a remarkable race. He
was forced to the limit in each case by
Nerri and barely won by yard. But
his feat suffered in comparison with
the dazzling and reckless speed of the
motorpaced and motorcycle riders. Kra-
mer rode the first mile in 1855 As, won
derful time for bike riders.
But Kramer and Nerri seemed to be
craW ling along the saucer bowl, in COM
parison to the manner in which Ciar-
cnce Carman, Paul Sutter. Harry klebes
and Billy Armstrong sped around the
track. The fans became dissatisfied d with
the Kramer-VerrI race, through no fault

This goes to show that the motor

Klebes covered mile in forty-three sec

While the race beween Kramer ant
Verri was booked as the headline, it was
the match thirty-mile motorpaced race
in which Paul Sutter defeated Clarence
Carman and Pete Drobach, that was thu
real feature. 1t was one of the creates

joyed it thoroughly.

A Big Slump Is Sho,on
in the World Series
Bunched Hits. GiUe
Cubs 3 to OLead

Continued from Page One
These three runs looked big enough to
give the Windy City gathering their first
triumph.
There was nothing doing in the third
inning for either team. A brace of
blanks was their reward.
The day was warm, there was scarce
ly any wind and those clouds visible
were of the light, f1eecy variety. These
favorable conditions, even when added
to YESTERDAYS brilliant contest appeared
to make no difference Indications were
based on early arrivals that today's
crowd would be smaller thaB yesterdays.
The bleachers filled early The pavilion
one each side of the grand stand filled
more rapidly. but the upper and lower
tiers of the grand stand were sore spots
for the National Commission and play
ers. The. Red Sox took a brisk batting
practice, and were served with left-hand
pitching, expecting George Tyler to start
against them.
Just before the game Ed Barrow said
he would start Bush If Mitchell selected
Tyler If Phil Douglass was the Cub
| selection, he said, Mays would be sent
| TO the mound for Boston. This would be
due to the fact that Mays hits well
! against right-hand pitching, while Bush
hits left-handers. If Douglas was TO
| start Babe Ruth, twirling hero of the
| first game. was to be stationed in left

Ruth, while a terrific hitter does not

reason Whteman replaced Ruth.
Bush and Mays were soon left alone
| I'm front of the Red Sox dugout and
worked. Tyler pitching to killefer ana
| Whiteman were in left field. On the
| Cubs side both Douglass and Tyler
worked, Tyler pitching to Killlfer ana
| Douglass to OFarrell Dougless took
his work in easy fashion, while Ivler
worked as If he meant 1t.
4 Bush and Mays were both working
| hard, both pitching to Agnew. Schane
was at the plate during the Red soS
fielding practice.
Mitchelrs men, as they came on the
field, gave every evidence that theS
were prepared to battle with all thelf
power to even the series and start the
third game tomorrow on an even base
with their rivals.
The Red Sex, with one victory al.
ready to their credit, came on the neio
radiating confidence. Barrows's mer
were a little less grim-visaged than the
Cubs but a trifle more cocksure. The9
moved more deliberately and with less
of the eagerness that the Chicago play
| ers manifested. Joe Bush or carr Mays
will twirl.' ,
Mitchell brought his men onto the
field at 1 o'clock and assigned Nick Car
, ter to the job of tossing balls to tne
batters. While the subs shagged Dali:
in the field, the Cubs sluggers cloutec
Carter's offerings savagely to all part'
of the field.
Fifteen minutes after the Cubs ap'
peared the Red Sox walked uhcoh
cernedly upon the field and begar
