MILE TRACK At FAIR GROUNDS
ONE Of BEST IN COUNTRY SAY
HORSEMEN HERE FOR RACE MEET

The Phoenix race track at the State
Fair grounds can safely be rated as
one Of the best courses in America
This broad statement is borne out by
the testimony Of all of the big horse
men who have assembled here for the
coming meet
For weeks past superintendent
Selrnan of the fair grounds, has given
personal attention to the narrowing,
dragging and sprinkling of the half
mile and mile ovals, with the result
that they lie like a stretch of velvet.
| Especial pains have been taken TO give
the hslf-mile track the proper amount
of cushion, thus lessening the jar to
! hoofs, with the result that the track
| is undoubtedly faster than ever be-
| fore.
| Here is what some of the most noted
horsemen of the country say about the
! Phoenix track:
| W. G. Durfee, Los Angeles, Cali
| fornia: ut is a perfect race track and
| is in better condition than l have eve'
| seen it,"
! Earl Beck, Elkhart, Ind. Il have
never seen a better race track"
Fred Ward, Helmet, Calf; 81 have
just finished trip over the Grand
Circuit and / have not seen a better
track than you have here in
Phoenix"
Jack Keener, Calgary, Alberta: you
have a wonderful track here in Phoe-
nix. II is fully as good and as fast as
that at Lexington, KY"
Charles Guion. Yakima, Washington:
1.-THE Phoenix track is the best have
ever been on. Yakima is said to have
the best track in the west, but Phoe-
nix has it cheated
William Ivey, California: Tt i.
one of the finest tracks that ever LAID
out of doors, and the stabling ap.
pointments are perfect
M. C. Delano, Sacramento, CAL:
I'm my judgment Phoenix has the bes
track in the country
w. II. Williams, Stockton. Cal: :"

years and this is the best track / hav,
ever seen"
Charles DeRyder, Flagstaff, Ariz
81 can simply say what / have Away
thought that Phoenix has the bes
race track in the United States"
j. G. Adams, Phoenix, Ariz.: "Ou
track has always been perfect, but
has never been in better condition thai
now"
j. Donovan, Denver, Colo: 81 hav
started running races over most o
the short tracks of the country, and
have never seen a half mile track a
good as the one you have here in Phoe
nix. 1t was lightning fast today
r. A. Kirk, one Of the best know
race writers, has been assigned by tn
Horse Review to cover the comm
meet. In discussing the above inter
views, he said:

PENN STATE BEATS U. OF P.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. AFTER
playing "a. whirlwind game all season
and piling up more points than any
other team in the east, the University
Of Pennsylvania went down to defeat
today before the eleven of Pennsyl-
vania college by the score of 10 to 0.
Rain fell throughout the game The
playing field was. soggy and the ball
slippery. Pennsylvania started out as
though her steam roller would crush
the state college boys. but after out
playing the visitors and failing to
score after at least two excellent OPP
portunities in the first period, had a
reversal of form. After that. with one
exception States goai line was never
in serious danger.

MICHIGAN RALLIES
IN FOURTH PERIOD

ANN ARBOR, Nov. In one Of
the greatest .ast period rallies ever
seen on Ferry field. Michigan snatched
victory from Northwestern's football
eleven this afternoon 16 to 49,
Held scoreless in the first two per
iods and allowed only a safety in the
third, Michigan opened up in the final
session, and, playing like mad, put
over two touchdowns in quick success
sion. The first came when Captain
Goetz blocked a punt from behind the
Northwestern goal line and Gordon
Dunn fell on it back of the line.
Sparks scored the other by bluffing a
run around left end and suddenly
switching to the right extremity
Sparks kicked both goals.

concede the fact that Phoenix had Il
better track than Yakima. The opin-
ion expressed by Mr. Donovan OF

the present meeting, is particularly in

TWO PARADEs AND THE AMERICAN
FLAG,

Editor Times:
Recently the American Rag was made
to serve diverse purposes in the city
of Hammond. For almost three months
a strike had been in progress at the
Standard Steel Car Works. which en-
ploys approximately two thousand men.
Most of these men are so-called for
eigners." Many of them have come
from Russia, Greece Armenia, and from
countries in which the Slovenian Ian

was orderly" Then there came a Pc
