CHAMP P|ONSH|P
 HOPES DASHED

The girls basketball team of P. H. S. beat the Mesa girls team by the score of 14 to Friday evening. at the same time the boys of Mesa defeated the Phoenix boys by the score of 20 to F. The game was staged at the local Y M. c. A. The gymnasium was packed to the very boundaries of the court, and the bleachers were filled to capacity.
 With the defeat by Mesa, the Coy otes have very slim chance of winning the valley championship, but Coach Carpenter assures the public that the P. H. S. contingent will show the same pep" from now until the end of the season that they have shown since the beginning.
 The Coyotes meet the Globe high basketball team, tonight at the Y. NJ. c. A. The game will start at 7:30 or o'clock. Student activities tick cts will not be good for admission.

Cans might have been polished off by Leonard without much trouble, while some of those who have extended Leonard might have been easy for Cans.
 One of the. strongest points made in Leonard's favor is that his percentage of knockouts is higher than Cans. It is also pointed out that while Cans usually had 20 rounds or more in which to score a decisive victory, Leonard must stop his man within the ten- round limit. Sometimes Leonard has had only six rounds in which to do the trick, and he has scored some of his notable victories in Philadelphia, where this limit prevails.
 Means But Little
 However. the percentage of knock outs means little unless the men knocked out were the same. The cal iber of opponents makes all the diff ference in the world. For instance, Bill Brennan has a greater percentage of knockouts than Fitzsimmons but every one knows that Brennan is a very commonplace second rater.

FACULTY AND HIGH
 SCHDOLERs TOMEE7

A. baseball game which is believed vilI cause more amusement and fun than Charlie Chaplin ever dreamed of will be pulled off January % on the local high school diamond between the Cyoyote nine and their betters, the honorable and respected faculty. The one team representing the spirit of fun and amusement CD will be pitted against the other, the dignified and moss covered spirit of super -knowl- edge and dominant power. The game will be called for 4 o'clock, upon the athletic field of the school.
 The faculty team is entering into the contest with the grim determination of victory, and with many a. grievance for the defeat suffered at the hands of the younger Coyotes when they played a match gamo of basketball. The fac ulty is planning to crush the younger opponents with the stern gaze and the majestic power of human magnetism.
 The Coyotes are not awed in the least at meeting the schoolmasters on equal terms. It is felt that though the faculty may be strong in the head" it Is undoubtedly weak in the arm" which is just the reverse of the old adage often quoted in social circles.
 Whatever the result, the characters of the two opposing teams will deter mine the factors of a game filled with fun and amusement.

PLAYER LIMIT |S ABOLISHED BY
 B|G LEAGUE
DRAFT OCCASIONS ACTION TO PROTECT MANAGERS AGAINST LOSS OF
 PLAYERS

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Abolition of the player limit in the American league was announced tonight by President Ban Johnson tonight. This action was necessary, he said, to pro- feet the club owners who face the danger of losing several players in the next draft for military service. He was advised that three members of the Cleveland club-Roth, Harris and Kelfer-had been placed in class one.
 Under the new ruling the clubs will be unrestricted in the number of players they may carry In previous years the clubs were obliged to slash their rosters to 9 men on May ]. President Johnson said he understood the national league would take similar action.
 We are in a. peculiar position of not knowing what will happen in the next draft" he said, and it seemed bad idea to keep in effect B ruling which was made for con dutions unlike those prevailing at this time. We will not enforce the rule next season"
 The American league executive, accompanied by his secretary, Will liam Harridge, left tonight for Wash inton to attend the conference with federal officials on Monday in regard to adopting a method for collecting the federal war tax. The meeting to draft the 1918 schedules of the major leagues, scheduled to be held in the capital on Tuesday, will be held in Pittsburg either on Tuesday or We'd nesday, he said. The change was made because of the illness of Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburg club, and one of the national league representatives on the schedule con- mission.

PACKARD TRUCKS ID MAKE ANOTHER
 LONG TRIP

McArthur Brothers have just re- ceived word that six more U. S. army truck trains. each consisting of 30 Packards, will leave Detroit in few days enroute to the seaboard At almost the exact time the first army train was rolling into Baltimore on December 2Sth, completing the journ- ey overland from Detroit, the gov ernment gave the Packard factory unofficial notice to prepare 1s0 more three-ton and siX-ton carriers for immediate travel under their own power.
 As fast as the drivers, cooks. me- chanics, and other men of the person. mel arrive from army environments and training camps the trains will be made up. It is expected that all six will be under way within a week.
 "The trip just completed, while in the nature of a test of the idea in- volved, apparently proved satisfac- tory and practical" says the Detroit Free Press, in it's concluding article of a series covering the trip day by day. The trucks made an aver age run of 4S miles a day for eleven days over snow filled and recovered roads. At times they plowed through drifts six feet deep. In Pittsburgh 200,O people turned out to see the l trucks enter the Steel City.
 | Commenting on the initial trip ] Warren McArthuE says it has showr 1 that army trucks can make better l time to the seaboard under theil
 own power than they can by rail il present traffic conditions.
 | Another big advantage of the drive
 away is the training of drivers, es corts, and train masters for trans portation service overseas

NEW RE0 LIGHT FOUR MAKING EXCELLENT
 IMPRESSION
LITTLE CAR WITH CURBED VISOR ATTRACTED ATTENTION AT
 NEW YORK SHOW

One of the most interesting ex- hlbits in the New York automobile show, If one is to judge by the crowds that always surrounded it. was the new Rec light four.
 In outward appearance this latest Rec is distinct departure and-yes improvement on-all former Rec four models.
 The body design is smart, and represents in every lire the latest development in body craft.
 Like it's predecessor, the wonder fully popular ."Reo the F'ifth." this Rec four is a big, full-size, five-pas- senger car with wide seats and lots of leg room. In weight it is consid- erably lighter, however. It aims to fill a niche all it's OWL and neither in size nor price does if attempt to compete with the large class of fours that are made to sell at a lower price.
 We have a clientele that we may almost call our own,'' says General Manager R. H. Scott of the Rec con- pany, that demands roominess ir the body and quality in the chassis and is willing to pay a little more for it.
 we prefer to build for that class of custom rather than the one who looks only at the price tag" Looking below the surface of this new Rec light four. ore is impressed with the fact that it is built regard less, as the saying goes. ' The best and only the best o1 everything has been used. and it i: evident that no skimping has beer resorted to at any point. | In fundamentals the motor ant chassis is similar to-in fact a re- finement and improvement of-th, original Rec four.

 Wheel base is 120 inches and this with the extremely long (52 inches underslung springs. makes it a won derfully soft riding car.

TULLY'S THE FLAME
 COMING NEXT WEEK

In addition to it's tremendous love story and spectacular scenic adorn- ments Richard Walton Tully's new play, The Flame which comes to the Elks theater for two days, commencing Monday, January 2S, with a matinee on Tuesday afternoon, presents a faithful and powerful picture of the appalling conditions in Latin America. 4 group of Americans have settled in the land in the hope of winning pros
 porous livelihoods for themselves. Chief in the group arc Wayne Putnam. 8 young American college man who has put his money into a banana plants- ton, and Dave Carson. a lovabIe rugged Texan who is prospecting for oil in the mountains. Just as prosperity seems at hand for them both, they are en- gulfed in revolutions. Each new bandit leader that arrives on the scene is more rapacious and bloodthirsty than the last. Indignation soon gives way to robbery, which in turn yields to deeds of lust and savasery. It is melodrama of the sWiftest tensest sort. And all the time the American consul stands spinelessly by, powerless to aid the
 American citizens in their distress
 because of ''watchful waiting" and
 strict neutrality" orders from the  secretary in charge. Thus the play mounts up, thrill following thrill, to it's smashing and final climax.
 Yet there is a wondrously sweet,
 tender side to the piece. just as there
 was in Tully's previous plays, "The
 Bird of Paradise" and Omar The
 Tentmaker." On the surface red
 blooded melodrama; beneath an un- deriving current of poesy and youth
 and love. For, The Flame" is the Flame of motherhood' and Tully shows that the greatest treasure of earth is not pirates gold or power or pomp. but the undying love of a
 woman for a man, with its happiest
 of happiest of culminations, the com ing of a baby. It is a world-old. ! touching story told with new force
 and with unfailing dramatic insight

SENIOR CLASS
 SCHOOL CHAMP

In the finals of the class champion ship series Friday afternoon, the senior class baseball team defeated the freshman team by the narrow margin of to 2. At the end of the seventh in- ming the score stood to ?, to settle the contest another inning had to be played, and in it Captain Seaman of the senior team knocked a home run and brought in the winning point.
 Last afternoons game proves the su- periority of the senior team and makes them champions of the school. The freshman team runs a close second, and was by no manner of means easily de- feated by the older brother Coyote. The game was largely attended by members of both classes and the roofing may be called ''profuse' in the extreme. Good spirit was shown by both sides and there was no hard feeling evident.

AMAZON TIRES ARE EXPLAINED BY
 COMPANY

Some pointed information, free from opportunities and superlatives. and in reality a heart to heart" talk between manufacturer and deal- CT, are embodied in the following eX- cerpt from a letter received by the Payne and Saufley Rubber Company of Phoenix, from the Amazon Rub Der company of Akron. Ohio.
 All Amazon tires are hand made, from the best fabric and material that we can buy. Our fabric is of the Sea Island quality, 17Ia oZ. in weight and has tensile strength of 290 lbs. to the inch. Most of the rubber we use in building the Anna zon tires is ribbed smoked sheet, or the best quality plantation rubber that can be bought. We use this in our tread stock and fabric friction, while for our breaker friction, we use Upper river fine para rubber, which is the best rubber in the world, and comes from the wild rub Der forests adjacent to the Amazon River in South America.
 There is nothing technical about the principles of our anti blowout break CT. It is placed at the point where the tread blends into the side walls anu IS ueSlSlltu LO LtilllOlCc lilc CdI . cass at this point, it being the point where the tire bends under the pressure of the car. It also serves the same purpose as hoop on a barrel, and by reason of it's strong, non- elastic character, prevents the fabric from bulging and sep arating under strain and thereby prevents blowouts.
 In this connection, we want to cali your special attenthion to the tread on Amazon tires. This is a feature
 that is very frequently overlooked and is probably one of the most inn l portant. and certainly one of the strongest sales arguments to br l found in the Amazon tire. In the | first place the tread is so designed | that for pavement use the tire runs on the three center bars, making practically d ribbed tread tire of il

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Ever since Benny Leonard won the lightweight title from Freddie Welsh the new title holder has been compared with Joe Cans, his most illustrious predecessor. It matters not that the styles of the "old master and the present cham pion are entirely different and that Cans and his competitors passed on long before Leonard thought of boxing the arguments go on just the same.

 Comparing two fighters of different periods is an unsatisfa actory proceed ing and generally results in both be- ing done an injustice. If the truth were known, it probably would be found that Cans was superior in some respects and Leonard in others. Some of the men that caused trouble for
