THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JULY 31, 1010. B AUTOS BRING SEW TALK Benzine Wagons Have Their Own Slang-. KOJIEUCLATUBE IS PECULIAR Conversation TToiv nirnbli Mack Gntk to TkM Wha Art Not , rwl In too Motor Cor Terhalqae. A realisation that automobile nomencla ture has sprung up much as does a local dialect, or district slang, la spreading la the automobile world, and there seems to b Imminent aom concerted effort on the part of those moat concerned to straighten out the tangle. It ha been learned that thla aubject waa brought up and discussed at the laat meeting of the Association cf Licensed Automobile Manufacturers. One member. It la understood, pointed out that the custom of the railroads offers a hint. they classifying their trains aa passenger and freight trains, and all their rolling stock, outside of "engines, Into the two general groupa of passenger cars and freight cars, there being a variety of spe cies In each group. Thla auggestlon seemed to point to tha American Locomotive company, makers of tha Alco, and Jamea Joyce, manager of tha American Locomotive company's auto mobile department, when sought proved fruitful of an Interesting Interview. "I am not the author of the suggestion that we follow railroad practice and claa lfy automobiles as freight and passenger oars," said Mr. Joyce, "but, the aubject la one In which I am deeply Interested and one It will be well to have discussed. It will readily bo conceded that there has been great laxity and abusa In the applica tion of automobile names. The confusion Is becoming seriously awkward and the time ha come when an effort ahould be made by manufacturers and owners to kesp In use tha most fitting and simple names. If tha proper namea are agreed upon and all work together thla can readily ba done. I hava heard of men almost quarreling over tha question of whether a certain car had on It a miniature tonneau, baby tonneau, ' toy tonneau or tourabout body. That, how- ; over, Is trifling compared with tha need ' for' generic names for tha broad division of automobiles. Clasalfylaaj Ifamea. "With the development of the motor ve hicle In many different forma for carrying merchandise It must be recognlced that it is becoming Important to have in general use some classifying namea to discriminate the vehicle used for hauling goods from that used for passengers. Discriminations that have sprung' into common use are 'commer cial vehicles' and 'pleasure cars.' While one nays 'commercial vehicle,' however, another ays 'motor truck,' another "power wagon,' then another 'gasoline truck,', and so forth, Of the first two names, 'commercial ve hicle' and 'pleasure car,' it is agreed that neither Is adequate nor desirable; both are vague and Ill-fitting.- Tha term, 'pleasure cars,' covers In a way, tha various species of touring curs, town cars, toy tonneaus, runabouts, etc., but as a generic name, It is decidedly objectionable, being too fug jreatlve,of 'Joy riding' and other frivolities Tha expression, 'commercial vehicle,' does not afford a sufficient antithesis to any of the namea applied to tha motor car used for Individual 'transportation, and, besides, the term Is far too loose a one; It applies quite as properly to a mule-drawn dray and a freight packet aa It does to an automo bile; again, it la too cumbersome. Person ally, I would ba In favor of the expression, 'motor truck,' to cover tha whole range of motor vehicles used for hauling goods. The term Is concise, euphonious and de scriptive. Under this caption would come all tha varieties of delivery wagons, vans, lorrys, drays, etc., and tha same as there are now touring cars, limousines, etc., tin der tha head of 'pleasure car.' The ety mology of the word, 'truck,' and ita general usage Justifies ita employment In ' this broad sense. Tho expression Is now quite commonly used for the heavier vehicles and If everyone Interested began to employ it as tha generio term for all merchandise carrying vehicles, referring to a 'thousand pound ' truck,' as well aa to a 'five-ton truck,' It would soon be adopted. There is no sense In bucking tha tide In this matter, but tha wise thing to do will ba to seek tha path of the least reslstanoa by trying to hava adopted namea now In use, or others aa suitable and simple as possible. "In plaoa of tha expression, 'pleasure oars,' as a general term for the various runabouts, touring cars, limousines, etc I suggest that 'passenger motor car ba sub stituted, though I am not seeking to have my own ideas adopted. What I most de sire Is to sea a lively Interest taken in the , subject and a wholesome discussion. ' "In suggesting tho use of "passenger motor car as a generio term, I hava a very definite idea that before long tha first word of tha phrase will ba dropped, as being un necessary to convey tha proper meaning. There Is excellent reason that this should be so. If wa look into tha origin and use of tha word 'car wa will find that it carries the Idea of pasaenger vehicle as an almost ' Inevitable association. Wa get tha word from tha old French term, with which It Is Identical, but Its derivation goes back to clasalo days when the racing and war chariots of tha Romans were alternately called 'cars.' In 8hakespeare wa find allu sion to tha chariot of tha sun god as 'Phoebus car,' while tha 'funeral car of ' tha middle ages continues in evidence on tha death of royalty, or any mortuary occa sion of great pomp and ceremony. Always there Is associated with tha word, It will ba noticed, the Idea of It being a personal conveyance and not a dray. Moreover, there Is something of dignity and almost of majesty In the word. Therefore it Is mora than probable that tha name 'motor car. which forms a perfect antithesis to 'motor truck.' will eventually be found sufficient; yet It will be well to start with the ex presslon 'passenger motor car. In order to more effectually emphasise tha distinction to those who are novitiates In the motor ing field. The word 'automobile.' which we borrowed from abroad, as wa did 'motor car,' can be retained to embrace all classes - of motor vehicles. But let us have a full discussion and an agreement upon the names most fitting, then a hearty co-opera tion toward having them generally used."

BOSTON. July 30. There Is at Harvard university a young man who, as a single sculler, would compare favorably with the leading professionals with a little coach ingaccording to excellent authorities. Jim Wray, the Harvard rowing coach, thinks he could beat any man In the world after proper coaching and a little racing experience. The young man In question Is Elliott Bacon, a son of Robert Bacon, United States ambassador to France, and No. 6 in this year's crimson shell. The Harvard coach is not much of a talker, as a rule, but he opened up recently when approached on the subject of young Bacon and single sculling. , "Bacon," said Wray, "Is a strapping youth, who stands six feet one inch and weighs ISO pounda. He did all his pre liminary work In a single scull and can drive a boat through the water about as fast -as any man I ever saw. If this youngster had the ambition to become a world's champion professional' oarsman, I believe ha could give' them all a stiff, bat tle. ... "There is no reason In the world why a man who has been proficient In one branch of sport cannot' attain perfection In an other. For example, take Wlthlngton's case. He is considered one of the greatest foot ball players ever developed at Har vard and he certainly Gij.de good in the .narvara varsity eight. "Then, take ths case of the New Zea lander, Arost, the professional single scull champion of tho world. He was a bicycle rider before he turned his attention to rowing." Referring to the decadence of profee sional rowing In America, Wray said it was attributable to the tendency to "fix races. No Graft In Anatralla. "We never hava any trouble of that kind in Australia, although single scull races for J10.000 aide stakes are of frequent oc currence in the antipodes. Australian oars. men are evidently too smart to kill the goosa that lays the golden egg. They realise that It pays better to be on the square. I've seen a crowd of 60,000 people witnessing a boat race In Sydney harbor. They handicap the oarsmen over there Just as you handicap horses in this country. The best men must carry extra weight in their boat I've won races with 100 pounds of sand ballast in my skulL Some oarsmen prerer to carry shot ballait. They weigh in after a contest. Just as your Jockeys weigh in after a horse race. . "Tha last American oarsman to visit Aus tralia was Uddie Burman of Toronto. He proved easy picking for a second-rater in Kangarooland. William Beach, the former champion of the world, refereed the race. and said that there were at least a doseh Australian oarsmen who could beat Bur- man. You can form an Idea from this statement how many good scullers they have In the antipodes. "I think Howard Searle, who succeeded Beach as tha champion, was the greatest single sculler that ever sat In a boat. Ha rowed rings around Beach In Australia, after Beach had btsaten Ned Hanlan and Jake Caudaur. Then Searle went to Eng land and rowed William O'Connor on the Thames. O'Connor was the best man Eng land ever produced, and Searle's Australian backers had no trouble betting 100,000 on their man. Searle died a few months after this race. Searla was succeeded as cham plon by James Stansbury, another Aus trallan. Gamblers Spoil Rowlaa. "Gamblers spoiled professional rowing In England, Just as they did In this country. Tha future of rowing in America and Eng land Is in tha bands of tha colleges and amateur rowing associations. In this coun try the National Amateur Rowing associa tion has managed to kerp tha sport alive with little or no help from former college oarsmen. "One would naturally think that college oarsmen would maintain their Interest In tha sport after they left college and Join the amateur rowing clubs scattered around the country, but they don't, for soma rea son or other. Tha Union Boat club of New York is trying to Interest former Harvard, Yale and Cornell graduates in tha sport, and haa had soma success. Tha Union Boat club of Boston is also trying to In crease its membership from among grad uates of the big colleges. "If wa could get tha class of men who keep the sport alive In tha big varsities to take an active hand in building up row ing among tha amateur clubs. It would help the sport tremendously. The trouble seems to be that most college ofrsmen lose interest after they leave college, and if they retain any Interest In eailo sports It generally runs to yachting jVnd motor- boating " of the Tri-County "1 . - V" 1 - t A y I !4t 7 "'y- Y v.. 1 EXETER BASE BALL TEAM. Would Have a Solid Ball Used -In Golf Meets Well Known. Authority on the Sport Declares Gutta Percha Ball Would Be Best NEW YORK, July 30.-Slnce James Braid scored his sensational victory in the open golf championship at St. Andrews and re duced the old record ten strokes English golfers are1 trying to devlsa a plan to make the championship game more severe. W. Herbert Fowler, a well-known golfer and cricketer, suggests the use of a solid ball. He points out that in 1905 Braid won In 318 strokes, in 1900 Taylor took 309 and this year Braid carried off the honors with 299. The present rubber ball, he contends, goes so far that all the holes which a few years ago were "drive and a brassle or cleek" are now "drive and a half-masele" shot. St Andrews, he says, no longer presents the very serious test of second shot play as it did a few years ago. Many players, he states, would like to see the champion ship played for with a gutta percha ball. S. H. Fry. who won the St. George's vase in 1901 and 1909, tha latter with a record score of 153, was beaten by Charles Hutchlngs In the final of the amateur championship at Holyoke In 1902. was run ner-up in the Irish open championship in 1907, and played for England against Scot land In 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906 and 1909. In discussing the situation says: v "Braid Is tho best player, and what do they want to get for the championship but tho best player? The reason why the records have been beaten is that play has Improved so much, and It does not matter how many records go. 1 do not think one man in a thousand would be any better by playing with harder ball. My own opinion Is that Wordon is the better player with a gutta-percha ball and Braid the better player with a rubber-cored ball. The usa of a solid ball would make a differ. ence of from three to four strokes. The rubber-cored balls, of course, make the game a little easier. "The best way to make the champion ship more severe would be to make the course more difficult I do not think that the holes should be lengthened. , Bunker ing is the solution of the problem if a se verer test is required. Another man who Is opposed to tha re- tntroductlon of the solid ball is J. S. Worthington, who won the Irish champion ship in 190S, was fourth amateur in the open championship In 1904, and tha win ner of many gold medals. "It needs much mora exertion to use tha bard ball," he says. "There is much more pleasure In playing with the rubber-cored ball, and tha best player would come out on top no matter what kind of ball was used. I believe they would play Just as well with the solid boll, but putting Is much more difficulty I do not think H would make much difference to Braid. With the balls now In use it is found that one kind suits one player and a different kind another. The rubber-cored ball Is Just aa much an Improvement on the gutta-percha ball as the gutta-percha was on the 'feather.' "They could make the holes more difficult by lengthening them, " he added, "but I think Braid could drive Just as far with a solid ball, and the lengths between the greens would not maka much difference."

League y. p yn" n 'I V V PITCHERS LIKE TO BIT BALL Expert Says Popular Idea of Twirlers Loafing is Wrong:. THEY HAVE NO JUDGMENT Slabman is Used to Serins; Ball Going Instead of Coming, and ' There fore Cannot lilt Well aa Others. NEW YORK. Jrlly 30. "Many people have the idea that a pitcher has a low bat ting average because he doesn't try for a high one," said Bob Groom, himself a pitcher, the other day. "They imagine that a pitcher doesn't want to hit because If be dos he will have to run, and thus diminish his effectiveness In his subsequent work In tho box, "But while it is true that a hard run about the bases does nothing to improve a pitcher's accuracy, it is both untrue and unkind to accuse a pitcher of loafing be cause he does not hit A pitcher Is proud when he makes a hit. No one reallree better than he that he is not generally con sidered so much a player of ball as ho is a mechanism for delivering balls to the opposing batsmen. " 'Oh! well, we didn't expect you to hit; that's not your Job,' yelled at a pitcher who has struck out with three men on bases is more maddening than consoling to the unfortunate man whose only value to his team lies in his ability to put them over in such a way that the Other fellow flies or strikes out. "Have you never noticed the desperate eagerness with which" a pitcher flelds7 He loves to get in the game, loves to figure In a put out Many pitchers would rather help pull off a successful double than get a strike-out to their credit. "The reason lies deeper than unwilling ness or lack of desire to hit Mereover, to my mind, it Is a variation of the same reason which affects catchers, and surely no one would accuse a catcher of loafing for fear a run around the bases would injure his effectiveness. "I believe that pitchers and catchers can not hit because the vast majority of their time in the game Is spent watching balls go from them or come toward them with a full knowledge of what is going or coming end watching these balls from an entirely different angle to that which they get on the ball when standing at the plate. "TJie pitcher, for instance, sees all the fast and curve balls from behind. He can tell as soon as he lets a ball go whether it Is going over or not, although, of course. he hasn't any sure Idea what the umpire Is gcing to say about It When the pitcher comes to the bat he begins to see balls coming at him instead of away from him; he has to "Judge their trueness whether a ball or a strike by tha looks and not by the feel of it and, because his exporience is all In the other direction he fails at the plate to Judge accurately. "Taka mv own case. As far aa I can sea. I do anything anyone else does at the plate. I have as good a swing, am as willing to stand closely as any one, yet my batting average is a Joke. I think it is because I am so accustomed to seeing the ball travel from me, and, knowing what It Is going to be, that when I find it coming at me, and don't know what it is, I am unable to Judge It "As for tho catcher, he is always looking for the balls coming toward him, to be sure, but he Is looking almost along their Una of flight, instead of down upon that line, as tha batsman must look, and he, too, knows so much what is coming toward him that when you change his point of view and make him hit at a bail, the nature of which ha doesn't understand beforehand, he is more or less helpless. "And, of course, you want to know how I reconcile with this theory tha pitchers and catchers who do hit the Benders and the Kllngs. I Just don't attempt to recon cile them, any more than I try to explain why two brothers, one bats .300 and the other .300. One has a better natural eye for tha ball than the other, and so It is with Bender and Kling and other pitchers and catchers who can hit; they have so good a natural eye "for the ball that they gives them, and bat well In spite of it, "It is probable that there are other theories to account for light hitting by batteries. But I have never heard any which seemed more plausible than these of mine, which I express not at all as facts, but as beliefs, and with sn entire open ness to conviction to the contrary by any one who has better reasons to offer.

BIG SALARIES EXAGGERATED Club Owners Quiet About Pay to Pre- Tent Jealousy. CHANCE EARNS MOST MONEY Cab Maaaa-er Get nt Salary oad Owaa "tof-k In floh, Drawing Good Dividend for Work la Game. The fan Is always deeply Interested In the salarlrs paid base ball players, and the estimates made usually are above the actual figures. The higher figures sound better. As a matter of fact club owners are loath to mention the actual amounts paid, not so much because they do not wish the publlo to know, unless perchance the fig ures are niggardly, but because of the die satisfaction that might follow among the other members of the team. Of all the men aetimlly playing the game. eliminating Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, who owns stock In the club. Frank Chance, manager of the Cubs, Is considered to be far and away above all other active players In his earnings from base ball. Thla, too. Is because Chance also Is a stockholder In the Chicago club, owning one-tenth interest. Prior to the season of 1909, Chance re ceived a salary of lii.BOO a year, which was augmented by his dividends and the share of one player in post-season and exhibition game receipts. Chance then signed a four year contract at $7,600 a year, but a dis- to tha tournament win be attractea ai pute arose between him and Charlie Mur- , most as much by the falls as by the phy, president of the club, and he an- j tourney. Everyone has seen the falls In nounced that he would not play with the ' summer, but everyone will want to see the Qutjl, A Chicago man was sent to California to arrange a truce between Chance and Mur phy. One of the conditions of the truce was that no party to it should .ever reveal the salary part of the deal, whether raised or continued the same. But, with his divi dends on his one-tenth interest. Chance earns between 120,000 and $30,000 a year, probably $25,000 a year on the average. This one-tenth Interest was obtained for Chance In the same manner In which Mur phy obtained a majority of the stock. Charles P. Taft, brother of President Taft, loaned money to Murphy and Chance to buy the club, which was sold at the bargain price of $106,000 In 1906, a figure so small that several persons to whom the franchise was offered thought something was wrong and refused to consider It. Because of the national commission de cision In his case sentencing him to play for his contract salary, it is known that Johnny Kltng signed a thre-year contract for $4,500. To this, of course, must be added what the players get from the post-season series, which, when world's championship games are played, run up to $1,500 and $2,000 extra. Brown, Overall, Tinker and Evers probably receive amounts varying from $4,000 to $5,000. Fred Clark, of the world's champion Pi rates, is reputed to receive $12,500 annually for services as player and manager, while Wagner Is called a "$10,000 beauty," aK though it is not Bkely that figure Is cor rect Ty Cobb of Detroit, whom Charles A. Comiskey recently picked as the greatest ball player of all time, was reported to re ceive $9,000 a year. Probably soma salt can be placed on this estimate also. Tho average player of experience on a winning-club conaiders himself worth from $2,500 to $3,000, while one with pretensions to being a star estimates himself as worth from $3,000 to $6,000, depending on the club and his ability.' This is good money for seven months' work. Including the training season; more, probably, than the same players could average In other lines of en deavor . But the life of a ban piayer is short, club owners with winning teams are raking in enormous profits, and or senti ment there Is little. STEAMBOAT "CITY OF PEORIA."

Every day, even this early In the season, reporm come to Manager John Floss of activity of bowlers In other cities, making 'preparations for attending the big Buffalo meeting. In many of the towns the bowlers have organised clubs, and by making a small payment Into a common fund each,week will find a sum sufficient to defray all expenses by the tlnie February rolls around Sam Karpf, for over twenty years sec retary of the American Howling congress and a man who has had more experience In conducting bowling tournaments than any other man living, was In Buffalo re cently and In a talk with John Floss pre dicted that the Buffalo tourney would be the greatest the world has known. "Buffalo Is Ideally situated for this tourney," said Mr. Karpf. "Three-quarters of the population of the United States are within ten hours' ride and you will have the added attraction of nearness to Niagara Falls. Thousands of those who will come IBIUUUB 1VS5 UllUgO saiiu wim.-cs n-cnri j Mr. Karpf was enthusiastic over the plans shown him by Manager Floss. He declared them the most complete and elab orate ever prepared for a bowling tourn ament He said every bowler would be de lighted with the layout and would sing Buf falo's praises ever after. "Buffalo has the name of being a great bowling city and Its reputation will be gi eater," declared Mr. Karpf. "I have been visiting several large cities during the last two weeks and the bowlers are talking of the tournament already. My horn town of Dayton, O.. will send at least five five men teams and lots of little towns In Ohio, Pennsylvania and Illinois will do the same. "The American Bowling congress cities will be as largely represented at the Na tional Bowling association. This Is be cause of Buffalo's central location. The Canadians, too, will come In large numbers and I am willing to go one record that Buffalo's attendance figures will be greater than any ever recorded at a bowling tourn ament" This from a man so thoroughly in touch with the bowling world and Its sentiments was pleasant to Manager Floss and the Buffalo men behind the big venture. It is seldom that a big tournament Is a finan cial success, but the local people anticipate they will pull out of the venture at a profit. In the plans a place Is left for many booths and concessions about the body of the hall, and these are expected to yield a revenue sufficient to put a balance on the right side of the ledger.
