A recommendation that the new
trail being constructed by the national
park service from the south rim of
the Grand Canyon down to the sus-
pensions bridge be named the Kaibab
trail has been made by J. R. Eakin,
superintendent to the Grand Canyon
park.

to the Kaibab forest on the north rim
of the canyon, The trail starts at a
point three miles east of Ell Tovar
and decends through a wonderful
scenic route to the river and Phan-
tom ranch.
Despite the fact that severe winter
weather has visited the canyon, the
snow and cold have not halted the
work on the trail. The new route will
be completed in several months.

AUTO VISITORS In
STATE TO BE SENT
OVER SCENIC TRIPS

In conjunction with the extension
of service along many lines through
out the state by the Automobile club
of Arizona, a new class of individual
membership has been arranged by
the club for the benefit of visitors
to Arizona.
The new class of membership will
be known as Visitors Membership"
with a special emblem and card en-
titling the holder to all benefits of
the club during four months from
January first to May 81 and dues
have been arranged for such member
ship on prorata basis.
Visitors in Arizona have expressed
much interest in the Automobile club,
according to Charles Kimberlin, gen
eral manager of the club and it is
because of this reason that the visi-
tors membership has been arranged.
The club is now receiving applica-
tions for visitor memberships and will
issue the memberships about January
Is.
One of the features about the visitor
membership will be the routing Of
such members to various parts Of the
state where there are national monu-
ments, parks, and ruins which are
worth seeing and which will attract
the visitor.
Each route will be arranged in
pamphlet form for the visiting mem
ber and will point out, through the
accompanying information the most
important places of the trip.
There are twenty remarkable trips
which may be made in the state, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kimberlin, and each
of these trips will be outlined and
mapped for the visiting member

TREASURERS ASK
NEW DELINQUENT
COLLECTION LAWS

The county treaSurerS of the IA
counties IN the state will ask the COM
ing legislature to pass a new law re-
garding the collection of delinquent
taxes. This was decided upon at the
annual meeting of the treasurers just
closed in Phoenix. Governor Hunt
will be asked to include recommen-
dation of the measure in his message
to the legislature.
The new law which the treasurers
will ask will be modelled after laws
now in effect in Illinois, Montana,
Utah, Oregon and several other states.
1t will provide for the advertising of
delinquent taxes and the sale of the
tax liens at public auction.
All penalties for non-poyment Of
taxes will be discontinued in the pro-
posed measure and straight one
per cent month interest will be
charged.
AS the law stands at present it is
necessary for treasurers to bring suit
in the courts to foreclose on property
where the taxes have not been paid
This is cumbersome procedure, ac-
cording to the treasurers and they say
that the proposed law will simplify
the work of collecting taxes and bring
more money into the treasury.
According to the treasurers the law
that they propose will also give more
protection to the taxpayers as they
will have three years in which to re-
deem the tax liens. The interest rate
of one per cent a month will also be
slightly less than the interest and
penalties now charged on delinquent
taxes.
State Treasurer Hubbs and Treas
urer-elect Vernon Wright and County
Treasurer J. K. Ward of Phoenix were
named as a committee to draft the
measure to be submitted to the legis,
lature.

SENATORS GET VEACH

MAY RECEIVE HOYT

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Bob Neach
and Alex Ferguson have been released
to the Washington Senators on waiv-
er claims by the New York Ameri-
can League Club. The players re-
port to the senators in Cleveland to-
day.
Reports that plans were being made
to trade Waite Hoyc to some other
club, possibly Washington, next sea-
son, have been bobbing up frequently.
In Detroit today, Waite Hoyt, when
asked regarding the rumors, said:
Il will not be a member Of the
Yankees pitching staff next year.
| have ben told by two or three per
sons who ought to know that / am to
be traded. ! am reliably informed
that the question of my going to
Washington was discussed when the
Senators played their first series of
the year in New York, but nothing
came of that"
However, Manager Higgins in
Washington last Sunday denied most
cmphatically that he had any intcn-
ton of releasing Hoyt. Higgins staged
mysterious disappearance" in De-
troit yesterday. He was said to have
left for this city TO put the finishing
touches on a deal which will bring
some rcinforcements to the Yankees
from the minors.

SEAS
TOO MUCH
FOR GIRL
Gertrude Ederle Encoun-
tiers Bad Weather
After Fine Start.
BY the Associated Press

DOVER, Eng, Aug. 1S.-Gertrude
Ederle. 1S-year-old American girl, was
compelled to abandon her attempt to
swim the English channel this after
noon owing to adverse weather con-
ditions.
The end Of her gallant effort came
at = :5S p. m, when two-thirds of the
way across the channel.
She was forced to quit because of
nausea and seasickness brought on by
swallowing salt water.
The sea near the English coast be-
came extremely rough, with choppy
waves, about o'clock, when the
tide changed, and at ) :3S Miss
Ederle, exhausted, had to be hauled
aboard the accompanying tug.
The American girl made n remark
able showing and those on the tug
had predicted when she was half way
out and going strong that she would
make the crossing in record time.
MARVELLOUS SWIMMER.
"She is the most marvellous swim
mer ! ever saw" Il. W. Burgess, the
veteran channel swimmer, aboard the
tug, told an Associated Press CORE
Spondent.
Both the endurance and the speed
of the young American girl were re-
gardcd as marvellous by those accom-
panying her on the tug.
In the first five hours Miss Ederle
, broke all records for the distance
Nnadc in that time by channel swim
h1ers. During the sixth hour her
piece slowed down as the influence of
thA tide began TO be felt. She was
compelled to breast the tide rather
than to swim with it.
She was accompanied in the water
at various times by Miss Lillian
Harrison, the Argentine swimmer and
others.
She kept continually calling for
music, swimming in time to the jazz
bands rythm.
Awakened from sound sleep at
a. m, she seemed the only person
among the hundreds gathered at her
training camp to be unaffected by
the hustle of preparations.
EATS APPLE FRITTERS.
She sat down TO a breakfast of
well done apple fritterS and weak
tea, and as she arose from the table
she said:
am all ready for it. Bring on
your old channel"
just before boarding the tug, La
Marine, which brought her to the
starting point, she noticed that she
had donncd her skirt wrong-sidc out.
Asked by her chapcrone, Miss Viets,

MINOR RACES PROVE
YOU NEVER CAN TELL

One race that looked like walk
away has become a terrific neck-and-
neck struggle and another that looked
like n fight to the finish is getting to
be decidedly a one-team affair in the
minor leagues.
Atlanta Monday afternoon pulled
New Orleans out of the lead in the
Southern Association by winning,
A., after the Pelicans had apparently
established a championship lead a
month ago. Cy WarmOth and Johnny
Brock. the latter with San Antonio
four years ago, formed the Atlanta
battery. Atlanta now leads by half a
game.
While this was going on, San Fran.
cisco in the Coast League heightened
it's lead to II full games over the
second place Salt Lake City club,
which was within two or three con-
tests Of the top less than a month ago.
Incidentally, over in the Southern,
Jim Riley, former Shreveport first
baseman. set a new homer record for
the association with his twenty-seycnth
of the season.

NJ CRAW SPIRIT
KEEPS GIANTS
IN THE RACE

NEW YORK, Aug. IS. New
York's hope of fifth consecutive pen
nant in the National League is hitched
to the undaunted spirit of a team
leader now rounding out his Oath sea-
son at the helm.
Ten times during that long stretch
Of management, John McGraw has
brought the New York Giants through
to championships. Frequently, they
have walked away to a commanding
lead early in the season, never to be
overtaken. Other times they have
battled their way from the rear I'M
der the lash of the indomitable Ma
poleon of the diamond. Such crisis
in the struggle of 1925 confronts the
Giants as they make their final home
stand against leading Pittsburgh in a
series opening here next Friday.
Gripped by a batting slump which
dullcd the edge of their attack during
a calamitous western invasion, the
champions gave no indications of re-
covering toward the close Of the week
in spite Of the encouraging scenery of
the home grounds.
Unbeatable pitching, however, over
came deficient hitting and, by stack
ing up five triumphs in their eight
starts. the Giants were able to cut
into Pittsburghs commanding lead for
a single game, reducing the Pirate ad-
vantage.

20 MILES WIDE.
The channel from this point to
Dover is roughly 20 miles in width.
Its shifting tides and icy currents
have baffled every woman swimmer
in the past and few men have been
able to conquer it. The record cross
ing it was made in August. 1923, by
the Argentine, Sebastian TrabOcchi,
in 10 hours. % minutes.
As Miss Ederle stepped aboard the
tug, great cheer went up from those
on board as well as the spectators
who lined the wharyes.

Immediately went to the engineroom
where her body was coated thickly
with layers Of grease to protect her
from the cold Of the water. This
operation was performed by Mile.

Miss Edcrle is unaccustomed to
such n heavy coating as was applied
and she remarked:

IN ARMY
POSTS MAY Be
PREVENTED
Br Universal Service.

WASH NGTON, Aug. 1S.-The
War Department has issued an order
prohibiting all service prize fights
within the District of Columbia and
at Fort Meyer in Virginia.
Hereafter all fistic battles will be
restricted TO three rounds with 10
ounce gloves.
1t is understood that the order will
be extended 10 all army posts through
out the United States.
Criticism of the army bouts has
been based upon the fact that matches
have been arranged by professional
matchmakers, that professional prize
fighters have been permitted to par
ticipate, that the general conduct OF
bouts has made them hardly dissimilar
from ordinary prizefighting as con-
Quoted in New York and elsewhere,
that the men in the service, instead OF
being encouraged by army boxing"
to participate in a general way, have
rather been encouraged TO limit their
participation TO the role OF spectator.
I'VE believe boxing TO be of value
but we will strive more and more to
put it on a basis conforming chiefly
to the spirit of amateurism. SAID
Major Thomas J. johnson OF the gen.
cral staff today.
Army officers at Fort Sam Hous.
ton. speaking unofficially, are inclined
to doubt that an order will be issued
barring fights from all army camps IN

forthcoming for some time and Will
not be issued before the Stribllng-
