Chicago Cuba have five and Pittsburg hun tlx. H Is difficult, therefore, to ssy which tam. between the Olanta and Cuba or Flrstet and either of the othrr two hat the advantage In thla respect.' 'The general Huation presents Pittsburg as third In the race. Taking that as a resonably sre Judgment, though It In not Infallible, It It extremely difficult to assert that New Tork with It greater number of garnet yet to b played la thereby handicapped. If the. Cuba had a lead of any size, of course the fact that they only have five gms scheduled aa compared to New Tork's nine, would give Chicago a decided advantage, hut under the circumstances X the team with the. larger number may nave the advantage. But aa a matter of fact t hloaro ought to be better situated than New Tork. for New York has six of Its nine gamea with Philadelphia, a team that Is capable of dislodging the calculations of any of them at any time. The other three of New York's gsmes are with Boston. Thesa and three of the Philadelphia gamea aw on New York grounds. Chicago playa , four games at Cincinnati and one at Chl I cago with Pttfsburg. Of course, this offerg no anap. especially In view of what Cin cinnati has done in New York. Pittsburg lias five games with fit. TxjuIs, three at Pittsburg and that last game at Chicago with the Cubs. Chicago gained a tremen ' dons advantage when It enmo away from New York With that final series, an achievement whic h Chicago feared it could not accomplish. The Giants were depressed t In the- same ratio that the Cubs wero In f splhed, as was shown by the double-header won by the Cincinnati Colls, a lot of re cruits. One thing certain New York will have to fight and fight desperately to win tha majority of those Philadelphia games, much harder, no doubt, than Chicago will to taka the Cincinnati aeries. Clnclnnatl'a triumph ovar the Olanta does not signify th superior ttn it doc th w i . fact that Ne mead of going the superior strength of the Reds aa much waning power of the Giants, w York Is coining down In- up. When Cincinnati won that double-header It marked elx defeats In nine gamea for New Tork on home grounds. The National league race, which may be won by any of three teams, at tracts more attention than the American Iesgue. because, no doubt, of the possibility of Chicago's losing after holding the pen nant for two years, hut it Is no more ex citing and uncertain than the American. Tha latter may be won by any of four teams Cleveland, -Detroit, Chicago or St. Tsiuls. though 8t. Ixnila lias a very slight chance. The other three teams are as closely huddled together as they can be. TV'hatever team wins 19i will he marked s the greatest season the major leagues have' seen for many years. The schedule limit.

Yet In neither case was the stage setting due to hla own efforts or Influence . H merely played the role created fqr him j and which he, as an honest and fearless ' official, could not evade. As In the John if iton "eager of 1907, to In the tie game case of the last, week, the president of the Na tonal league has displayed a fine courage which Is good to have In the directing head of a groat base ball organization. There Is no doubt that New York went in to steal, If It could not win, that final series with Chicago. That was evident when McGln nity deliberately hurled the ball away off into the left field throng when he should have allowed a Chicago player to get It and trj' for put-out. V'mplres Emslie and O'Day very properly called the game a tie In the face of this depredation, and Presi dent Pulllam deserves the thanks of every lover of organized base ball fnr upholding the decision of "the umpires. There Is no likelihood that New York's appeal will gain anything for that team.

LAWRENCE, Kan.. Sept. .-8peelaJ.) The first week of official foot ball practice at Kansas university has been eminently satisfactory to the followers of the gam here. The appearance of unexpected ma terial has gladdened the hearts of the most pessimistic. It Is ft surprise to everyone the number of men who have clear records with tho registrar. t'suslly the coach spends Ms first week letween the regis trar and the eligibility committee, but none of that this year. Over sixty men are ap pearing regularly on the fields In suits Of this number there are mighty little third team stuff. Host of them are second team men. and not a few are going to make the old hcada work to hold their places on the 'varsity. Each afternoon's practice terminates with scrimmage with the freshman team, and lively ecrlmmsgra these are. Several big men are on the freshman squad. Rouse Is looking after the entering of the tyros, ami If his first week's work Is an Indication of what Is coming, he will have a point mak ing team from the first year men.

However, a thoroughly capable man has been se cured to take his place In Arthur te M-cirte. The Athletic association tried to negotiate wlth,Pe Mosse before, but could not agree on th price. The raise In the price of the athlotlo fee from t2 to 1 and the large advance payment of this fee made It pos sible forihe board to close the contractw tth Ie Mease at his own price. De Mosse has assisted Kennedy before on the eve of many big gnms. Kennedy gives him the credit for the victory In Nebraska two years ago. He la a pupil of the old school, an old team mate of Kennedy's, was captain of the Jnyh.iwker team in and Kennedy's captnin the following year. Improvements oa Field. Extensive Improvements are in progress on McCo'ik field. Elevated bleachers have been extended along the north side of the field, along the south side boxes have been built, hack of which has been left auto mobile sppce, and back of this a line of elevated bleachers.

This year, however, he goes at It like a fiend and seems' determined to make his "K." In the event of Carlson going to center there will be half a doien men to gr.il for the vacancy at guard.

A committee from the St. Jo seph Commercial club has been here this week with a most generous proposition. However, the alumni of both schools are at work In Kansas City and will probably bring Tebeau, the manager of Association park to reasonable terms and the game will in all probability go to Kansas City.

The Franklin Model H Touring Car is a powerful, capacious automobile and looks it. Yet it weighs un der 2,600 pounds. Other seven-passinger automobiles are far bulkier and heavier, and vastly more expensive to own, but not one Is more stylish. All Franklins have the refined simplic ity that Is secured only through Franklin air-cooling, and the lux urious riding-quality possible only with the non-janing Franklin construction. They have long wheel-baaes and large wheels and tires. They are easy to manage and strong and safe. And of all automobiles Franklins are the most enjojable to use. Franklin closed carriages are specially noticeable for their beauty and style; and the line this year is exceptionally complete. ' Model Q is built with a brougham body, making it very sevrlceable for doctors or others desiring a two passenger, closed vehicle. i Models O and D are furnished with iandaulet bodls.

Sept. 26.-Presldent Pulllam introduced a new umpire to the few unsus pecting; baseball fans who saw the Brook lyna trim the Cincinnati the other day. Hla name la Owen and he comes from the American association. The new indicator man made a very favorable impression. Ha umpired behind the bat and hia Judgment on balls and strikes was good, lie is a powerful looking young man and has a deep bass vole. At times the fans can al most understand wnat he Is saying, which Is a vast improvement on some of the older umpires. Owen had a remarkably good reputation In the minor league, and Is said to have had complete' control over the players. Incidentally It ls reported that lie whipped one or two of the ball tossets for insults, not on the diamond, but after the shades of night had de scended.
