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

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

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.

j and which he, as an honest and fearless

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

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

nedy's assistant had to give up his work
with the squad, as his engineering work
this year will take all his time. 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

assisted Kennedy before on the eve of many
big gnms. Kennedy gives him the credit
for the victory In Nebraska two years ago.

team mate of Kennedy's, was captain of
the Jnyh.iwker team in and Kennedy's

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

elevated bleachers.
Manager Lansdon is sparing no pains to
Hccommcdate the big game crowds that
are looked for on McCook this season. Ho

of grass that will save the bruises of the
boys later on. All practice Is being held

By this means the excellent condition of

The first day the men ran through signals
for linlf an hour and the time was In
creased each night, winding up with a hard
scrimmage today. Hurry-up methods
proved popular with Catlin and Griffith
who expected plenty of "pepp" and ginger
all the time.
Most of the signal practice was devoted
to the inilial efforts In mastering Catlln's
now famous new "angle play" which
Iowa's head coach believes will work on
the smaller t-ams and elevens from -the
larger schools alike. "This Is a play or
rather a system of plays which will work

1909 Model D Touring Car, $2,800 without top.
Bigness and Bulk are Not Stylo
You would pick out a Franklin automobile anywhere. f0r Its stylish appearance its symmetrical lines and
its perfection of detail, yet no Franklin has an nnneceasary bulk of weight.
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.
Model II is built as a Limousine. This has the exceptional flexibility produced by the six-cylinder Frank
lin engine, and is the limit of perfection in closed carriages.
Besides these ls the Type K 2, town car, seating six. It Is built upon our motorcab chasels and Is extra
strong and durable. Come and get a demonstratlon.es.
