It will be wel come In Omaha for many reasons, chief of which Is that It will put this city In famer company, where ball of a little better grade can be depended upon. The Western league has furnished a high grade of base ball ever since Its birth In 1800. and haa been the wonder of tha world In thla re gard. For several seasons It went through with only six clubs, but kept Its class A standing unimpaired by reason of the quality of ball It furnished. But thla has been a tremendous strain on the owna outside of Qmaha and Denver, and with tha recaatlng of league boundaries, a new playing circuit may be formed which will lv to tha smaller members of the West ern base ball they can afford, and still let Omaha and Denver get Into the com pany of citlea of their slse. where aome thlng In tha way of profits will be possi ble for tha owners. Before another season rolls round It Is to be- hoped that soma change will be mado In Boston that will put the National league team of that center-f erudition back on th base ball map. Not merely Is this to be hoped for Boaton'a sake, but for the sake of base ball, and especially tha Inter ests of the National league.' Washington at Its worst Is not aa bad as Boston this year. The team baa won only about 25 per cent of Its games, which la a miserable record. If the great disparity between the leadera of the National, as well as the American league, and tha tallenders could be adjusted. It would be a fine thing for the league and the game. President O'Nell of the Western league advocate a doctrine that aeema to offer a suggestion of wisdom to the rnajora, and that Is for the execu tives of the leagues to throw the weight of their Influence with the weak club In the effert to strengthen them and thus to In fuse new Ufa In the game and distribute larger benefits to all the- teams. The O'Nell plan la a good one. If It Is right for the presidents of the leagues to aid the weaker teams, why wouldn't It be a good thing for all concerned for the various! team owners to let down a helping hand to those who are as hopelessly weak as Boston and Wsshlngton? The game of base ball Is, to be sure, like other business ventures, a commercial proposition largely, but before It can be a commercial proposi tion It must be a good game, a genuine sport. What makea and maintains good sport la live competition. If then the vari ous magnatea would aid weak teams, why wouldn't It result ln promoting, not onlv good base ball, but the financial Inter"' of the game aa well? Certainly It wouh". for It would lessen the disparity betw"-t the tea ma. Of courae one of the possibili ties of baae ball Is for the weakest team to defeat the strongest, but the possibility Is too remote to put a keen edg on the I public Interest or fill the grandstands and bleachers when these teams meet. The ex hibition of Boston and Washington this year Is nothing but a farce, a travesty on the game, and farces and travesties are not good for base ball. It took five years for any pitcher to come up to Jack Cheebro'e record of fourteen conaecutive games won with the pitching box sixty and one-half feet from home late, but Kd Ruelbach did It. For that matter Big Kd aaya he'a not going to lose another game this season. He lost his last one May 24. Ouess Chance didn't have a hunch when he refused to let Ed go errly In the spring, when the big fellow himself thought he was all In. Moren. Philadelphia's young pitcher, whose father give hire $100 every time he wina a game, haa been doing a thriving business on that basis, but now the old gent cornea forward with an offer of S500 for every time tha boy beats the Cubs. It's a good thing the yournt man's bread and but ter don't deo-nd on thla latter contingency or the Phllies would have a nice young pitcher panhandling dukkiea. At laat an umpire has been found who admitted he made a wrong declalon. He decided he had appendicitis and was about . , . ..n.,u i in whan tha aur- i o unarg,v reons found that instead of appendicitis he haa three broken rlba. He waa In the Southern league. They are coming down the pike about nght now in the American league. That's the sort of fight base ball loves. Up to date Detroit and the Athletlce have an equal chance for the flag. But the week haa not done aa much for the Cubs aa It might have. Down In St. Ioula they have an amateur team that rldea to and from Ita gamea In an undertaker's wagon. They have a professional team that employ euch a vehicle with perfect regard for tha fltneae of things. Between gelling arreated for acorchlng and alanine arllclea to fight Jeff. Brer Johnson haa managed well to keep hlmeelt before the people. Well, one tWng. they may not have the chance to excuse Chubby Charley of ticket Mlplng In the world's series this year. One can only regret that thla Johnson affair didn't happen In the day of the real rr fighter. Junt the same Barney Dreyfuae haa botint a new ahprtatop. It muat have hurt McOraw to beat the Cubs like that. A rfo'.ler to a pinch of snuff Ihey never Cole. Wichita. Spencer, Pueblo Fcnlon, Topeka .Htankard, Denver... Thompson, Denver.. Thomason, Topeka..

(Not including motor buggy having Diamond Motor Buggy Solid Tires, whose record was perfect, or truck which also used Solid Tires.) BEAR PARTICULARLY IV MIXD That the above record Is figured impartially and based on strictly reli able observations. (Detailed figures sent on request.) Many conflicting claims as to tire performances lu the Glidden Tour will be made. Read them all, put confi dence where you will, but the above Is the record reduced to dollars and cents. Representations will come to you that such and such number of cars went through on original caBlngs. So did the cars on Diamond everyone of them but not on all four original casings, in every Instance. AND XOTK THIS No Diamond casings or tubes suffering Injury were repaired en route and returned to cars to permit of advertising a finish on original casings or tires. It Is known this was done In various Instances. REMEMBER 'No penalties were or rould be Imposed for tire trouble. Tires could not contribute to or detract from any car's chance of winning the Glidden or any other trophy. Any contestant was at perfect liberty to change tires at any time without penalty. A perfect or Imperfect score bore no relation to tires, one way or another. The only measure of comparative tire efficiency available In the whole tour is that of cost for the mileage de livered. But what measure Is better suited to determine relative tire values! AND REMEMBER That scores of other public events and thousands upon thousands of individual tests have confirmed the annual Glidden Tour verdict Diamond Tires are the best and the most economical.

REMEMBER ALSO That although the course of thla year's tour was nearly 1,000 miles greater than ln 1908, and the roads worse, Diamond Tires made the same good showing they nuide last year, and, conditions considered, a still lower mileage cost.
