HET aay this la a commercial age
money-mad country. ' If ao.
youth of tha nation will aeck
those Ufa callings offering greatest
financial returns. Than why do not
mora American youtha go Into athlsttcs?
What sphere of endeavor offera a ahorter
road rb prosperity? Read tha papers: "Jim
Jeffries baa bought another orange' grove
and la contemplating tha erection of a large
hotel In Loa Angeles." "Joe Gans has de
cided to return to hla native Barbados and
live on his fortune." "Battling Nelson
will build houses for inveatment, write
books for pastime and look after his oil
Interests for occupation." 80 much for the
prise ring. "Fielder Jones says be will
never play ball again, but will divide hla
time between his Oregon foreatry reservea
and Pennsylvania oil fields." "Hans Wag
ner has added another farm to his estate,
but will piay next season anyway." "Frank
Qotch has over half a section of the most
valuable Iowa farming land to which he
will devote hla attentiona In a few yeara."
And thtre you go, prls ring, base ball,
wreatllng-every field of athletlo sport Is
paying great dividends. But a big Invest
ment 'Is exacted, an investment of superior
manly strength and agility, of brain power
and sobriety, for those who win. But
aecond money has been looking mighty
food in many cases of late.
Two big Indian teams are coming into
Nebraska to transact a little business
Carllale at Lincoln and Haskell at Omaha,
Both the University of Nebraska and
Crelghton university have large tasks on
their hands, but they have had large tasks
on their handa all aeaaon. In point of
: victories Crelghton haa not had a success
ful season, but in point of experience It haa
undoubtedly profited In a way that will
stand the team of next year In good stead.
Crelghton doubtless could have gone
through the season with a clean bill had It
cared to take on less formidable foes, but
It haa choaen to play big teams and take
the consequences. That Crelghton has
made progress there can be no doubt since
the game last Saturday at St. Louis, when
the Omaha team held the MIssourlans to
tlx scores.
' One of the most remarkable base ball
records made last season, or any other sea
son, was that of Lave Cross, the old timer,
as manager of the B tamo kin team. In
Pennsylvania. Early in the season Lave
had to forsake the south because it didn't
sgree with his health, and he took the man-
agement of Shamokln. At the time he did
Hhamokln was In the eighth place In the
league, which Is !sf. When the season was
concluded Shamokln waa In first place,
which spells the pennant. Old Lave brought
to bear all the skill and Ingenuity of his
resourceful nature and set an individual
pace that made him the sensation of the
.'league. He batted way above .300 and
covered second baae like a fiend. Today he
.. could have the town of Shamokln, Umpire
., Kelly and all, If he'd make a demand that
way.
If the match which Gotch and Hacken
tchmldt are said to have signed for over
in London comes off, and if such a thing
"tts a Hack victory should be the result,
,; London and New York will not hear the
1 belching of a lot of croakers like America
heard when Qotch twisted the tall of the
. overrated Ruaalon Lion at Chicago. It
will be a good opportunity for Hack to do
tome twisting on his own account. But as
. giod a judge as old Farmer Burns says
me maicn win never come on lor ine
reason that Hack can't train long enough
' for it. Or if he did Qotch would walk Into
him and turn the tries;' In fifteen minutes,
ir seconds.
John Gansel has Joined the "passing
throng." The old Reds' manager haa been
slid down the great Incline Into the minor
league plane below to which all great
ball players must one day go unless they
rQo what Cy Toung says he will do when he
passes that point where he la not fast
enough for the majors retire. From a
purely sentimental point of view old Cy is
right and from a material point of view he
Is right so fa as his own case goes, but
for many men who have not been as fru
cal as he the chance offered by the minors
comes as a God-send.
Hasn't the judgment of the high school
authorities been amply vindicated as to the
matter of employing a regular athletic
director? Of course, It may not be possl
. ble to draw with unerring precision the
' line that marks the balance between the
value of Coach Chsrrlng ton's assistance
and tha present team's Inherent qualities
of success, but It Is rather pointed that the
first team to have the benefit of an ex
perienced director's tune and attentions
goee this far through the season without a
defeat. .
'
. 'Elberfleld Is great ball player with
peculiar disposition that minimises hla
value as- a player." That's tha most suc
cinct statement of a great truth that we
bave run across In many a day. And while
it bolls the rantankerous Kid down to a
nicety. It applies with equal force to certain
other celebrities, suoh as Hal Chase.

NEW TORK. Nov. 21.-The wise men in

governing powers In bsse ball, the Ns

which Is composed of all the minor leagues,
ranging from the two bodies who want a
aeparate classification to the smallest
lesgue in the game.
In order to get what they want the
American association and Eastern league
will have to go cut by themselves and
wage a war on all organised base ball.
That la where the whole thing will fade
away as far aa a real base ball war Is con
cerned, as tha two organisations have not
enough money to carry out their plans.
It Is claimed that options have been se
cured on grounds In Chicago, Pittsburg,
and several other cities that the bolters
plan to raid. It Is easy to get options on
vacant property. It Is when It comes to
making a ball ground out of It that' the
trouble comes. An option costs but little,
but when it comes to putting In the actual
plant It is different
Major league base ball plans are ex
pensive things nowadays, and the Eastern
league and American association know It
very well. They won't really pull away
from' the National Association of Minor
Leagues. They are Just making a strong
bluff in order to get some concession In
the way of drafting players both by the
National and American leagues, snd by the
two bolting associations from the minor
bodies.
NEW BULES FOR BIG CUP EACE
Restricted Cars Only la tha Vaaaet-
fcllt Can n?tst la Fatare.
NEW TORK, Nov. 21.-The ' Vanderbilt
cup race hereafter will be a race for re
stricted cars and not a race for engines of
unlimited power within a certain weight
limitation. The bore will be restricted In
future, probably to 130 millimeters, the
limit fixed by the International congress,
snd the stroke may be limited as well.
This Is a radical departure from the plan
of the cup raees In the past, and if deter
mined upon a year ago would have avoided
all the difficulties between the Automobile
Club of America and the American Auto
mobile association, which rent the auto
mobile world recently. It la a conceaslon
to the spirit of the day, and will be re
ceived with general satisfaction.
The first Intimation that such a decision
had been reached waa received through
Frank Webb, vice chairman of the Van
derbllt cup committee, at the celebration
of the locomobile's victory at Bridgeport.
In addressing the assemblages there.
Chairman Webb stated that the locomobile
No. 16 had won Its last race, and would
be Ineligible for future contests for the
cup. He then stated that a restriction of
bore would be a condition of the races In
future and probably a restriction In stroke,
and that in all probability the bore would
be made to conform with the- international
regulations recently adopted MO milli
meters. He expressed the wish that the
Locomobile company would build three rac
ing cara bf the new dimension, and not
only enter them for the Vanderbilt cup
race, but also for the grand prlx of the
Automobile club of France.
The suggestion that the Bridgeport con
cern become a competitor abroad was, re
ceived with general favor, and there was
some talk of Bridgeport cltlsena organising
a syndicate to build three cars and send
them abroad. George' Robertson expressed

NEW TORK. Nov. Jl.-Not a few horse
men have expressed the opinion thst for
tha season of 1909 the hunters and amateur
sportsmen will plsy an Important part In
keeping tha Interest In racing alive. These
little amateur meetings bava grown lo
Importance with all the lovers of the horse,
and while many of them are still practi
cally family affairs, whenever the public
haa been Invited the response has been
ready and the Interests In that brsnch of
the sport has constantly grown.
No matter what Is decided by the larger
and older racing associations for next year,
one thing Is certain, and that Is tha ama
teurs will have every opportunity to race.
The National Steeplechase and Hunt asso
ciation, for the present year, gave official
recognition to forty-two hunts, and many
others will apply for admission before the
season1 begins next spline;. Naturally,
several of these hunt clubs have not availed
themselves of the permission to race under
the sanction that goes with a recognition
from the governing body, except in very
small and private manner, but many of
them have conducted first-class meetings
and more will -be In the field next year.
MISSOURI VALLEY BASKET BALL
Schedule of Games of Teams In New
Association).
DES MOINE9, Nov. 21. (Special.) In a
meeting at Kansas City a Missouri Valley
Basket Ball league was formed, six schools
being made members, and Ames will be
Includede If the Aggies place a team In
the field this season. The aLx teams are
Kansas, Washington and Missouri on the
south and Iowa, Nebraska and Drake on
the north.
On account of the distance between the
northern and southern divisions of the
schools. It was decided that the three
teams In each division should fight for the
title In their division.
F. 1L Ewerhardt of Washington was
elected president of the association and Dr.
Ray Clapp of Nebraska the secretary.
Ames will play at Columbia January 9,
at Lawrence January 11. at Lincoln Febru
ary 12 and 11 Drake will play at Lincoln
either February 10 or 11. Foreign games
for Missouri follow: At Washington Janu
ary 15, at Ames January SO, at Lincoln

dates will be arranged later.
Front Foot Ball to Base Ball.
NEW TORK, Nov. 21. According to a
base ball crank who traveled the south
last season, Manager McUraw of the Giants
In drafting Catcher Rapp from the Merldan
team of the Cotton States league grabbed
ono of foot ball's brightest stars. Rapp, It
Is said, is no other than George Capron,
the famous fullback of the University of
Minnesota teajn of 1907.
Caprori is back In school again this fall,
but has been declared Ineligible on account
of his connection with professional base
ball. Capron was the best fullback In the
west last season on account of his marvel
ous ability as a punter and drop kicker.
He was compared to Coy of Tale, and many
critics hailed him as- the greatest kicker
since the days of Herschberger, and that
was several seasons ago. Capron's kick
ing ability may have attracted MeOraw to
him, but at any rate he had a fine season
down south. It is just possible that he will
not get a trial with the Glanta. aa there
Is some dispute over the title to him, caused
by the assumed name. I
New Grand Stand for Grlanell.
GRINNELL. Is., Nov. 21.-(8peelal.)-A
contribution of $5,000 lias been made by a
prominent Iowa college- alumnus on the
condition that a like amount be raised by
the students and faculty, the total fund
to ba used In the erection of a new steel
and cement grand stand on Ward field.

A weatern agent has adopted a novel
scheme for demonstrating at night the
working of the motur In his car. He has
placed under the hood several electric lights
and the motor can be seen In full operation
through the heavy glaaa panels of he hood.
The route as mapped out for tha annual
New Tear'a day endurance run of the
Quaker City Motor club of Philadelphia
will prove a stickler this time. Wilkes
Barra is tha objective point and over-night
stops and tha checking stations are long
and difficult.
Much progress In road Improvement in
Georgia Is being made as a result of the
change In the system of utilising convict
labor, due to the efforts of an Atlanta
newspaper. Convicts time is now employed
exclusive on roads Instead of being
farmed out to mine and mill contractors.
When passing little breaks In the road
cauaed by water running off and earning
the road material with It, holes In pave
ment, etc., the shock to tires may ba
lessened by releasing the olutch for the
moment and allowing the car to coast
straight on, so as not to strain the ma
chine unnecessarily.
Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia, who
will attend the Savannah race, has ahown
himself an enthusiast In automobile racing.
He was at the stock csr race held at
Savannah laat March and after the contest
delivered an address in front of the grand
stand. In which he told of the Interest he
had felt In the race.
It has taken the Board of United Statea
General Appraisers two yeara to decide that
drop forglngs are forcings snd should be
admitted as such when Imported from
abroad. Heretofore they have been classed
as '"manufactures of metal" and assessed
4& per cent Instead of lb per cent, which la
the duty on "forglngs."
There will be S2.000 aqusre feet of floor
space at Philadelphia's next automobile
show, a gain of 12.000 square feet. The
dates of the show have been changed from

When springs havs rusted up, ths only

All Wlater.
NEW TORK, Nov. ft. Every one con
nected with turf affairs Is casting un eye
westward. The outlook Is for the wet
absolutely, for the time being, though
a meeting will be held In New Orleans, ac
cording to report, and there la a probability
that there will be racing at Hot Springs
after the new year has begun. A vote of
the cltlsens of Hot Springs Is to be taken
in the future, and should It go as other
votes of a like nature have gone recently,
a meeting is almost assured.
That there will be fine meetings at Oak
land and Los Angeles Is positive,' as man;
high-class horses have been shipped from
the east to the coast, and they will be
followed by the better element of the turf
patrons. At Oakland on the opening day;
there were 10,000 persons In the stsnds,
which speaks well for the popularity of
the sport, considering that the population
of San Francisco, from which the attend
ance Is drawn, Is very little more than
600.000.
On high days and holidays at Los An
geles the gate shows an attendance' of
about 7,600, drawn from a population of less
than 225,000. Horse racing Is a great at
traction In both the cltlea during the win
ter months and Is appreciated by the
masses and business men. It has been
proved that a city like Los Angeles Is
benefited by the sport as It places large
sums of money In circulation and lengthens
the winter season to five months when be
fore It was three.
There has been some opposition to racing
In Los Angeles, as there always Is when
one element of the population Is disin
clined to sport, but the satisfying results
In business quarters have brought forth
plenty of argument which offsets the op
position. The same condition exists in San
Francisco where the association is en
couraged to run a meeting of ISO days
every winter and spring.
Even st this early date hundreds of turf
patrons hsve left this city for California.
One railroad company has booked more
then 400 passengers whom they take - di
rectly to the racing centers. CTiould the
sport In New Tork receive no encourage
ment during the winter months there Is
every probability, that racing will be con
tinued for a long period on the coast. In
fact, with New Tork closed it would be
the only practical racing center, unless
there Is favorable legislation in some of
the states that have been closed for a year
or two. like Missouri and Illinois.
In the east the chances of holding suc
cessful meetings are favorable. Many be
lieve that Governor Hugnes Is satisfied
with the present situation and that no
further Interference need be anticipated.
There are others who have no confidence In
the governor and believe that he will con
tinue his crusade against the sport until
the thoroughbred in this country Is a
thing of the past. This class Is very much
in ths minority,4 however.
IOWA WILL LOSE GOOD MEH
Rome of Best Back Field Will
Leave the Team.
IOWA CITT, la., Nov. .-(Speclal.)-Wlth
tha close of the local foot ball season
today, the question of next year's prospects
comes to the fore. Iowa will lose some of
tha best men on the team including Captain
Kirk, Seidel, Hastings, Stutsman, Perrine,
Carberry and Collins. All of these men
graduate, with the exception of Hastings,
who Is a Junior In the college of law. How
ever, the atar center has played his allotted
three years and is not eligible next sea
son. That Iowa will have the best backfleld
creased 40 per cent. At the next ahow,
January 1 to 23, there will be about S,000
feet more space available than there waa
last year.
Two things are to be avoided In replac
ing spark plugs, one being too tight ad
justment In a hot cylinder, which makes it
almost Impossible to remove it afterward;
the ether being the breaking c.f the Insu
lation, If of porcelain, through contact
with n wrench. Socket wrenches, if nude
too narrow In the neck, will often cause
fracture of tqe Insulator unless held per
fectly In line.
Unless grease cups ars turned down fre
quently there Is a tendency tor the lubri
cant to dry In the ducta to which they
are connected, which la increased if they
are of any considerable length. On this
account a car which ia to be left standing
for any length of time ahould be gone over
occasionally and the various cups screwed
down, or else both cupe and piping should
be cleaned out thoroughly and left empty,
A radiator and fan deaigned to give the
beat temperature in summer will cool the
engine too much In winter. If the car Is
used in very cold weather it may be quite
feasible to remove the fan belt altogether
iVut producing overheating. If this Is
found Impracticable, a sheet of tin may be,
rrsde to the outline of the upper portion
of the radiator and wired to the back of
the radiator to cut off a poron of the fan

The conclusion reached by the Automo
bile CJub of Springfield. Mass., that speed
traps estsbliahad by cluba themselves will
prove the only cure for reckless motorists,
who refuse to listen to reason. Is finding
an echo in other parts of the country. The
utter fallurt of wsrnlngs, whether printed
or verbal, to halt apeed manlaca makes it
imperative, according to prominent motor
lata, for cluba to Initiate drastic measures
themselves or see the entire fraternity of
motorists suffer for the sins of a compara

A study of the nationality of tha drivers

A handy kink for atarting In cold weather
la to warm the cylinders by squirting

The Hawkeye berk field haa been minus
Speed snd snap a1 nee the beginning of this
season and It had no power to make up
for the slowness. Murphy and Ehret are
two of the fastest men ever to try for an
Iowa eleven and both are shifty and not
easily Injured, being more matured than
the average first year men. Ehret played
at the State Normal before It waa recog
nised as college within the eyes of the
conference and Murphy Is the former Ida
Grove stsr and a brother of "Beany"
Murphy, last year's halfback.
Wagner, Who started at quarterback con
sistently on the freshmen team thia fall. Is
a former West High captain and half
back. He Is heavier than the average quar

is concerned and Coach John L. Griffith
gave the men a strenuous scrimmage prac
tice Instead In- preparing them for the
great state championship game to be
played against Ames on the Drake stadium
Thanksgiving day.
After the Iowa game hard luck overtook
the squad when Stevens, fullback, was dis
qualified on account of studies; three of
the best players could not report regularly
for practice because of Injuries and one or
two of the best substitute players were
compelled to give up the game. .
However, the Drake students have great
faith in the ability of "Silent John" Grif
fith to mold the eleven into ahape for the
game of the season. The victory over Iowa
put plenty of confidence into the players,
but Ames' record duly prevents any danger
of over-confidence. The game on Turkey
day will be of great Interest to the athletic
followers In this stste and It is expected,
with fslr weather, there will be a record
breaking attendance. 1
