friction that seems certain when the
American association and Eastern league
Invade the cities now occupied by ihe Na

to tha fact that Havenor haa a site for the! Hunter, the speedy, first aacker of the
Uuckllna, is the prize run getter of the
league, having crowed the Back ninety-one
times. Balrd of Wichita haa the diaiinc-

three more bases than Kiaher whose rec

the league In the number of sacrifice hlta.
The one branch of the game in which
Omaha as a team excells is base atealing.

....neuvcrs. rne reformation of the
baae ball map la as certain to come as the
coming of another season. 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.

PAPKE LIKES KETCHEL BEST
ays Colored Yowtti Will Pt Take
the ranl'htnent.
NEW TORK, Aug. 14. Hill Tapke. who
knows Stanley Ketchel like a book, says
that Ketchel will heat t-angford decisively
when they come together at the Fairmont
Athletic club on September 1 Papke stales
that Iangford will not he able to stand
up under Ketchel'a tremendous body
punches and that he will be out -punched
and out-gamed all the way. Ketchel, who
has been reeling In California, also says
he can whip ljMigford simply by "getting
the Jump" on the Boston negro. But Lang
Xord cares llttlv! for newspaper talk and
says that Keichel will have to be very
fit in order to escape a knockout. Fight
critics all over the country say that
Ketchel and 1-angford are capable of put
ting up one of the greatesv exhibitions of
hard hitting ever recorded.

Total length of tour, 2,636 8-10 miles; roads much worse than general average of highways.
(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.
Take the 1.000 mile tire teat made by the Chicago Motor Club, a conspicuous Diamond victory take tha six
months' Upkeep Contest of a well-known automobile manufacturing concern also won on Diamond Tlrea take en
durance runs, sealed Bonnet contests take any test you will IN POINT OF DURABILITY DIAMOND TIRES HAVE
NEVER SUFFERED A DEFEAT.
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.
