CROSS CANNOT SEE TEE JOKE
Barely Gets Expenses for Longest
Flgat la Career.
NEW YORK, July 3.-The Joke of the
season Is the purse that Leach Croee pulled
dovn after bring knocked out by Hyland
In forty-one rounds In Pan Francisco. That
$370 Isn't a Joke to Leacb; If. a tragedy.
Cross has taken In tl.rA) more than once
right at home In New York for atx and
ten-round bouts. And here la tha longest,
hardest, most disappointing fight he ever
had, ending In a cold knockout, and he
gets about enough to cover bare expenses.
It Isn't much better than In the old days,
when champions met and fought to a fin
ish with bare fiats for a purse of $100
or so.
Rut still Cross has no legitimate wall to
make. He was gambling. He took a
chance and lost. The thing Cross gambled
on wasn't the purse at Col ma. It was a
far bigger thing he had ln view. He
thought he could beat Hyland. He staked
hi. future on that chance. If he had been
lucky enough to knock Hyland out he
would have had a chance to fight Battling
Nelson. Even getting as near the light
weight throne as that would have put
Cross in the big money making das.. And
even the bare chance of beating Nelson
would be a prospect dazzling enough to
any fighter. A champion of the world can
stage it and get at least a good living
as long as he cares to.
Crosa hasn't lost a reputation. He didn't
have any too much after being defeated by
Tommy Murphy. Packey MacFarlaod and
Jem Drlscoll. And the fact that he fought
for forty-one rounds makea him a Ketter
drawing card now than he haa been In
many months. Cross can come back to
New York and get some real money In
place of the stuff he didn't get in Call
fornla.

AMATEUR RULES ARE CHANGED
New Eventa to Be Added to the Ckam
plonahlp List.
NEW YORK, July 3. At the laat meeting
of the Amateur Athletic union of the
United States, steps were taken for Impor
tant changes tn the rule, governing cham
pionship, of the Amateur Athletic union,
and the legislation committee wa. in
structed at that time to prepare new rules
providing for aeveral new events, namely,
the hop, atep and Jump and throwing the
javelin. Theae have been added to the
championship list, as haa also the ten-mile
run. The ten-mile run haa not been given
for several years past, but It la now made
one of the annual fixtures.
A definition ha. been provided for Junior
cross-country runners. Thla 1. something
I that has been needed for some time, &. It
seemed hardly fair tn tha past to allow a
man who would win In long-distance cham

They for
ha. a corklnr
aood club, tha other citlea have teams th.t
are not so bad. But tha fact la while
Omaha haa loat a large portion of It
games out we.t, the larger Interest, of
the league have not Buffered thereby, nor
na. umaha sustained any Injury from
which It cannot Soon recover. Pueblo, by
winning three straight from tha Rourkes,
unuouDieaiy strengthened Its position ln
me league ana gave encouragement to
some falnt-heartad fans who needed suoh
a bolster. It wouid hava been highly do
treble to Omaha fana If Omaha could have
won Instead of lost the majority of Ita
gamea, but ainoe It could not let's believe
that the old adage. "It s an III wind that
blowa nobody good," applies in thla case.
Rourke needs more strength tn his pitching

eluding himself, and ha says ha haa been
v axertlng avery effort to get new pitchers.
During the week ha has landed one who,
he aaya, promises much. Let's hop. so and
root on.
Sentiment continues to rlaa againat th
spit ball. Certainly It alionld, and the
hope la thla sentiment will soon rise high
onough to sweep this species of curve out
of ux t la telling mora and more on the
men who uae It and the catchers who re
ceive it. As an evidence of tha opposition
to it by managera In big leagues, tha writer
recently received a latter from a big league
scout asking for a Una on a right-handed
pitcher who did not use tha aplttar. Spit
ters are not sought. A pitcher who must
depend on the spit ball for hi. effective'
neaa, lacks just that much of being a
first-class pltahar, and,., besides, ha ' will
' not laat long. And when hi. plt kail
prowess haa loft him ho Is a has-been. It
1. to be hoped that tha medlolne mixers
may be able to lay down soma embargo
against this rulsance next winter.
It Is gratlfytag. but not at all surprising,
that Pueblo is to retain Ita franchise In
tha Western league. Tha danger of Its
doing otherwise never was imminent, abao-
lute deolaratlona that "Pueblo's franohlaa
will ba transferred to St Joe within thirty
days," to tha contrary sot withstanding.
Much haa been said abaut 8t. Joa being
ripe for baas ball, bat thoa. wbo regard

tha fact that Pueolo is to continue la tha

JOHNSON AND KAUFMAN TO MEET
Arrangements Made for t'olma la
September.
NEW YORK. July 3,-After much back
ing and filling on the part of Jack John
sen It la now said that he will fight Al
Kaufman twenty rounds at Colma.on Sep
tember 17, under the auspices of Promoter
Coffroth. As In .Ketchel's case, Johnson
dors not wunt to take part In a bout of
more than twenty rounds with Delaney's
man, because he believes that he can
stall and win on points In a battle of that
kind. As It took thirty-nine rounds for
Kaufman to make Jim Harry, a second
rnter, stop, the opinion prevails on the
coast that the big (."allfornlnn ennnot make
an Impression on Johnson In twenty
rounds. Kaufman lacks Ketchel's ag
gressiveness and speed. He Is a hard
punoher, but is lacking In generalship and
quickness of thought. He la as tall and
as heavy aa Johnson and Is dead game,
but that Is -about all. If Kaufman should
get a decision over Johnson he would
doubtless claim the heavyweight title, but
such an Incident would not lnterfera wllh,
the negro's fight with Ketehe ln October.
If Keichel ahould slop Johnson, sparRng
men agree, Kaufman would ba in line for
a fight with the Michigan L4on for tha
ring's highest honors and Keichel would
be heavily backed to win.

Strong Speedy Room
y
Stylish
There have been many low priced cars, but never one so big, strong, speedy and good looking as this one.
In the Hudson 'Twenty" you get tle best automobile value ever offered for less than $1000. In this car
you find that something called class that something which other cars at or near this price have lacked.
Most low priced cars have been too small. In the Hudson
"Twenty" you get a big car. Note the long wheel base 100
inches. Note the big, strong 3 2 -inch wheels, the large radiator,
big hood, staunch, clean-made frame.
The Hudson "Twenty" has ample leg room. There is no
Roadster made, regardless of price, that affords more comfort
to those who ride in it. From the front seat to the dash there
is a space of 31 inches.
Designers of other cars selling around the price of the Hudson
"Twenty" have not seemed to realize that it is as easy to make a
good looking car as it is to make another kind.
Here is a car that is big and racy looking. Note the graceful
and harmonious lines. Observe the sweep of the fenders and the
frame. There is no car with better lines. Judged by every
mechanical and engineering standard this car is thoroughly
up-to-date without embodying any experimental features.
Some High Grade Features of this 1910 Model
The springs are of special steel, semi-elliptic
Selective, Sliding, Gear Transmission
Tha Hudson "Twenty" has a Eliding gear
transmission, selective type, three speeds forward
and reverse, such as you find on the Packard,
Peerless, Pierce, Lozier and other high grade
cars. Most other low-priced cars do not have
this type of transmission.
Four Cylinder Motor
The motor Is vertical, four cylinder, four cycle,
water cooled, known as the Renault type, 82'
bore and 41' stroke. And Renault motors are
the pride of France.
The frame of the Hudson "Twenty" is of the
best open hearth stock. It is 31 x 11" section,
accurately and carefully riveted together with
hot rivets, and braced against all possible strains.
Our frames are made by the Hydraulic Pressed
Steel Company of Detroit, the company which
makes frames also for the high-priced Stearns cars.
Single Piece I-Beam Axle
The front axle is a one piece drop-forged I-beam
section, of the best grade of open hearth steel,
carefully heat treated. The Peerless, Pierce,
Matheson, Lozier and other high grade cars use
drop-forged front axles.
The rear axle is of the semi-floating type, shaft
driven, proved out by a score of makers.
Three-quarter Elliptic Rear Springs
There is more rake to the steering post than is
found on the average car.
In front, and three-quarter-elliptic in the rear,
such as you find in the Renault, Chalmers-Detroit,
Pierce and others.
Lubrication is of the pump circulated, constant
splash system, which has proved so satisfactory
on the Oldsmobile, Chalmers-Detroit and other
highly successful cars.
The body is composed of the best grade of ash,
carefully placed and securely bolted to the frame.
Seats are large and roomy and well upholstered.
Two Color Schemes Used
You have your choice of two tasty color
schemes on the "Twenty": a rich maroon, with
mouldings and edges of bonnet striped.in black ;
leather blue black. Or battleship gray all over with
apple green stripings and upholstering. Fenders,
fender irons, pedals, and top irons are enameled
black. The radiator, steering column, side lamp
brackets, hub caps, and side control levers are of
brass. Steps are aluminum.
The tires are 32'x3 in front and 82'xSi tn the
rear. The crank shaft has a tensile strength or
100,000 pounds; the clutch is leather faced, cone
type; the clearance is 121 inches under the steer
ing knuckles.
The Ideal Car
The Hudson "Twenty" is the ideal ear at th
price. It leaves nothing to be desired.
Nothing experimental about it. Nothing untried.
The "Twenty" has been recognised by the
Association of Licensed Automobile Manufac
turers. It is the only four cylinder ticsnssrf car
selling for less than $1,000.
Equipment: Two large headlights, gener
ator, two side oil lamps, tall lamps, full set tools
and horn $000.
With Bosch magneto, top, Prest-O-Lite tank,
double rumble seat $ 1 OSO. .
Our allottment of these cars is limited and orders
will be filled in rotation as received. Please call,
