Mr. Business Man, you can think right
now of hundreds of instances where a
Day Letter or a Night Letter would have
^ saved the expense of a trip, captured a
doubtful order, flashed an important
inquiry and brought back the infor-
mation on the jump.
Analyze your territory and you will find
that Western Union Day, Letters and
Might Letters will add to your efficiency,
multiply your customers and increase
your sales.

Lively Features ol a Hippo-
drome Character.
From the grand stand, hanging to
the fence and sitting In the trees at
the north side of the park, about
2,000 persons witnessed the big auto
races at Washington Park yesterday.
The program was an excellent one
and was entirely carried out, with the
exception of the blrdman’s flight, the
ground proving too soft to give the
aeroplane any start.
The first of the auto contests was
a flve-mlley race between a Ford and
a Flanders. Both the cars were
stock cars, the Ford being driven by
Wiseman, and the Flandys by Snow-
dy. Both cars had the hoods removed
and the mufflers were cut out. The
cars got a good start and kept prac-
tically even for the full five laps. To-
wards the finish the Ford pulled Into
the. lead and the race ended, with a
victory to the Ford by eight seconds.
The time of the cars for the five miles
was: Ford, 8.16 2-6; Flanders, 8.23
2-5.
In the second race a Kissel and an
E. M. F., both twenty-horse power
machines, reeled off high speed for
ten miles. A1 Melcher wad driving
the E. M. F. and Mixe Lawles was
at the wheel of the Kissel. The race
represented twenty times around the
course and both drivers got a fine
start at the orack of the pistol.
The race waa a very close one for
about the first dozen laps when the
Kissel .drgw Into the lead and held
Its distance for the remainder of
the race, winning the event by more
than forty-five seconds. The time of
the E- M. F. for the ten miles was
lf.36 4-5 and for the ^Kissell, 18.62
2-6.
The Chalmers Red Bug, driven by
Horace Stevens, and the Ford Spider,
driven by Wiseman, were the entrants
for the third race—a five-mile ev^nt.
The Ford got the start and hug to the
the- inside’ of the track for the first
four laps. The Chalmers kept stead-
ily gaining and on the fifth lap pass-
ed the Spider. The Red Bug main-
tained its lead and won the race,
making the fastest time that has been
made on the Washington Park course
this year. The car's time was 7.39
2-5, while the Ford made the five
miles in 8.05 2-5.
The last race was a free-for-all-

Associated Press Dispatch,
New York. April 14.—Baseball ac-
tivity Is to be increased this week by
the start of the pennant races in four
more leagues.
The Northwestern league, virtually
an International affair since it In-
cludes Victoria and Vancouver in its
six-club league, opens at Seattle, Van-
couver and Spokane on Tuesday. Last
year's Eastern league, under its new
name, “International,” opens on
Thursday In the southern division
cities; the New England league,
which is made up of eight Massachu-
setts cities, opens on Patriots’ day,
the 19th, and on the same day the
Western league opens In Denver, To-
peka, Omaha and St. Joseph.
The opening dates of all four
leagues are slightly advanced from
last year. The makeup of th(f four
circuits remains unchanged.
clases contest and five cars were en-
tered, the Chalmers, Ford, Flanders,
E. M. F. and Kissel. The race waa
a ten-mile event, the cars starting
on a five-second relay. Two of the
cars, the Ford and the E. M. F„
dropped out of the race after a few
laps each, Wiseman, driving the Ford,
having lost his goggles and Melcher
having some slight engine trouble.
The event proved to be a walk-away
for the Chalmers. The Flanders was
the first car to get off and the Chal-
mers passed in on the fourth lap.
The Ford had started after the Chal-
mers and the Chalmers car got a full
lap ahead of it and passed It on the
ninth lap. Stevens held his lead the
remainder of the race. Although the
track «u la good condition the
sharp turns at the ends of the course
caused the cars to tear up a lot of
dirt and acted as a handicap to ihe
cars behind. The time for the last
race was: Chalmers, 14.55; Flan-
ders. 18.05.
Lively features of the program were
the Fourth cavalry events. The men
were a picked squad from the whole
regiment and their exhibitions' were
the finest that have been seen since
the Statehood Jubilee exhibition. Tho
program Included a Cossack race, run
for one furlong. It was won by Lyon,
of Troop B, with a time of seventeen
seconds. Other features were a mon-
key drill, rescue race, and a hippo-
drome race. The latter was won by
George A. Klndall, of Troop B, who
made the eighth mile In thirty sec-
onds.
A half dozen atempts , were made
by AVlato’r XTodgeson to fly In his
Curtlss-type biplane. The ground
proved too soft, however, and the
wheels of the plane would not "bite”
the ground so as to give the plane a
good start. In the last trial, made
late in the afternoon, the biplane rofse
about two feet from the ground, but
again alighted after flying a few feet.
The Fourth cavalry band waa In-
stalled in the grand stand and played
during the events. The band Is one
of the best military bands that has
been heard In El Paso and it proved
a feature of the afternoon.

ON THE EIGHTEENTHS
AT PRACTICE WHITE
SOX BEAT INTERNATIONALS
The White Sox baseball team, of
the City league, and the Internation
als, of the same organization, played
a practice game yesterday morning,
which the Sox won by a score of 10
to 2. The game was played at Wash-
ington Park and was not a regularly
scheduled match. Neither team play-
ed with its complete line-up. While
the game was loosely played, it was
Interesting. Frqm the w’ork done by
Jhe Sox outfield It appears that the
team is well protected In that de-
partment.
Took Yesterday’s Game From Them
By Score of 13 to 4.
The Durango Tigers walked off
with the baseball game played with
the Eighteenth infantry team yester-
day afternoon at Fort BHbs. The game
was In favor of the Tigers all the way
through and proved a complete walk-
over.
The Tigers were the first to bat and
brought In one man. Two men were
brought over the plate by the Eight-
eenth in the second half of the in-
ning, but from then on the game was
all with the Tigers. The score finally
ended with the Tigers 13 and the Sol-
diers 4. J. Masa. of the Tigers, lam-
med a homer, but this was about the
only feature of the game. The fol-
lowing are the batteries and the score

The Tigers are a new team that was
organised too late to get a try out for
the City league. The team Is a fast
one and has many of the International
players on its list. It Is planned to
match the team against a number of
outside teams, such as those of Dent-
ing and Las Cruces, and also to ar-
range games with teams of the City
league. The first game will probably
be held on April 28 and will be at
Las Cruces.

DIAMOND NOTES
The National Baseball commission
has disallowed the claim of John
Thoney for salary aggregating IJ160.
The claim was against the Boston
Americans and was disallowed be-
cause It was claimed Thorney refused
to report, even when notified.
In Charley Street the New York
Yanks have a catcher who has prob-
ably caught In more games of ball
since he became a professional than
any other receiver. Billy Sullivan,
Larry McLean and Roger Bresnahan
have been hard toilers, but It Is
doubtful whether any of tho trio have
averaged more than 100 games to the
season. It Is said that street, who has
been a prof since 1903, has caught the
sphere in 1,000 games.
Manager Chance has been notified
that the Giants have turned over to
him Southpaw George Pierce, on
whom the Cubs refused to waive.
Indiun Bender, not of, but Tho
Phlllle team, has an opportunity this
season to place alongside his mark lu
the national pastime an individual
record. He has the chance to lead
th. American League pitching brigade
three timeB in succession. This Is a
feat which none of his predecessors
at the top of the row have ever done.
Philadelphia fans have a good
chance to monopolize a world’s series
next fall. The only oily to enjoy
such an honor to date is Chicago, for
the Cubs and Sox batted for the big
prize in 1906.
The first sod of the new race track
at Cote St. Michael, near Montreal,
Can., will be turned this week. It
will be a half-mile track and will bu
up to all the requirements of a first
class racing establishment.
JACK JOHNSON PINCHED
FOR FAST DRIVING
Associate Press Dispatch,
Evanston, lib, April 14.—When
Jack Johnson, chtlmplon pugilist, was
arrested here toduy for violation of
the automobile speed laws, he did not
have a dollar with him to deposit
for bond fees with Justice Boyer.
When asked for the bond fee, John-
son searched his pockets and then be-
gan to smile, broadly.
“I haven't that much money on
me," said Johnson to the justice, “but
I can write you a personal check."
"That’s all right, Jack,” replied Ihe
Justice, “I'll triiBt you until Thurs-
day, thevdate for your hearing on
this charge."
Johnson was driving with his wife
when arrested. Both he and Mrs.
Johnson protested at being taken to
the police station. The champion at-
tempted to arrange the matter with
the motorcycle patrolman, who ar-
rested him, but without success.

was that tho machine could only start
in one direction. The field Is so nar-
row that to start against tho grand
stand or against the wireless towers
would be equivalent to committing
suicide.
The only possible road to succors
was blocked by Colonel Steever's or-
ders to his men, stationed along an
Imaginary border line, to shoot to kill
in case the machine would touch that
line. As long us part of Ihe United
States Is,in Mexico and part of Mex-
ico Is on this side of tho river, It was
considered best to play safe by not
heading south.
"We can fly with the wind and
against it,” said Mr. Kastle, "but we
cannot cut It until we get off the
ground. Wo knew ull along thut tho
conditions for flying at Washington
park were difficult and now we know
that the field Is almost Impossible
from our standpoint. We may take
advantage of Colonel Steever's kind
offer to allow ua to use the parade
ground at Fort Bliss, but If we do it
will be only a private exhibition

"1 would not advise my worst
enemy to bet against the aeroplane,

Mr, Hodgson for his failure as he Is
a young man and has something to
live for. When the rest of us failed
to accomplish what he is supposed io

"Only once did 1 sanction a flight
under adverse conditions and on that
occasion the aviator was hopelessly
lost for several hours. Supposing the
wind had carried the Wg bird to tho
south. Tho American soldiers would
have opened fire and incidentally
would have shot across the line. The
