clUDGMEWTS
OF THE four lraguts National, Amer
ican, Western and American asso
ciation the closest race la In the
Weatern, where Denver and Ploux
Clly are making a splendid fight for first
place, slg-caggtng back and forth, and'
Lincoln la ateadlly forging In that direc
tion. The next beat fight la between the
Pirate and Olanta for second place In the
National. The Cuba aeem to have the pen
nant well In hand. In the American league
th Athletica have a wide margin and yet
are not safely on top, for Boston, Detroit
and New Tork are bunched not an Impos
albl distance behind. The American asso
ciation pennant seems to be already won
by Minneapolis. ft. Paul has remained In
second place only because the teams under
It persisted, like Itself.. In losing. But the
remarkable thing Is that not In any of these
four organisations Is there a fight between
first and second division teams. Only the
moat unusual atreak of ill luck could now
prevent Denver, Sioux City, Lincoln and
Wichita from winding up the first four
teams, not - necessarily In that order,
though; while Bt. Joseph,' Omaha, Dea
Moines and Topeka appear to be hopelesaly
doomed to the second division.. Of course,
If one or two of the top teams were to
atrtke a continuous losing streak and
Omaha or St. Jo hit a long upgrade the
order might be changed, but neither of
these contingencies is likely to occur. The
season Is too far gone for material change
now. The fatal weakneya In many teams
this k 'ear. In major and minor ball, has
beifjv" the box. Conversely, other teams
JitvtVon by having good pitchers. Lincoln
is a fine example. But for its pitching staff
It could not have done what It has, for.
While Its team otherwise Is fair, It Is not
above the average. But that la nonetheless to
the credit of Lincoln. It did well to get
a good set of pitchers. This year In this
and other leagues we have had most forci
bly brought home to us the potency of
pitching as a factor In winning games. It
.suggests again the old proposition of re
vlalng the rules In soma way ao aa to
offer a nearer approach to an equity be
tween the box and other department. It
la not desirable that ao much power should
center In on man; It is not conducive to
the best bas ball. St. Louts Cardinals fur
nish another example. Breenahan has a
magnificent team, but hi pitchers are weak
and he la losing as a consequence. Sioux
City Js vastly helped by it pitcher. Steady
pitching, of course, 1 essential and should
be fostered, for nothing serves to steady a
whole team and produce good ball quite a
much as reliable pitching and on the other
hand nothing puts a team In the air quite
as quickly aa poor pitching. But the diffi
culty of atrlklng a proper balance between
pitching and batting has been and probably
alwaya wllV be the gravest problem In the
- science of the game.
Ill luck has not left the trail of the
Itourke for one mlnirte. As on as
r.bam got in shape to play, Kane was
cJJlled 4o the bedside of his sister and
"Thompson went to first. Then the new
fielder. Riggert got In the line-up and
Roddy Corrldon' foot went back on him.
That forced fichipke back Into the game
with hia wounded hand and sept 'Mortality
over to short. Bert King etlll wears Ms
hand in a bandage, though plays. Thomp
son In Ms unobtrusive way has made a
great hit with the ) fane thla year. He
ha played all over the lot and done his
beat everywhere, hitting with telling ef
fect most of the time.
Tho who hav followed Chick Autrey's
rork for the last two weeks carefully have
observed that hi batting has been almost
nothing. Prior to that he wa hitting Ilk
Ire. That Is one of the reasons
not stay up when he waa there.
Xiyia a great first baseman, one of the best
In the country and has a good batting eye;
ought always to be In the .300 clam. But
iwhat he lacks . la plenty of nerve. When
h hit a slump hi heart fails and It takes
him weeks to get up again. That Is not
the fiber that wins and Chick ought to get
ever It. i
TRACK READY FOR RACIS
Detaili of Big Motor Contests Almost
Completed.
ELECTEIC LIGHTS ON COURSE
Vauderbllt and Grand Prise Events
Apprnactilnar and Holding Com
pany Make Elaborate
Preparations.
NEW TORK, Aug. U With the first of
the autumn' big road race less than two
months away the Motor Cups Holding
company is rapidly completing the many
details necessary for the successful staging
of the events. Both the Vanderbllt cup
and the grand prise events, scheduled for
October 1 and 15, respectively, will be started
at daylight. The grandstand and official
stand and parking space enclosures will
be brilliantly Illuminated practically all
night on the Fridays preceding the two
events. The parkway road surface Is being
overhauled and put In Al condition for the
two events. Contracts are being let for the
decorating of the stands In an artistic man
ner. The stationing of buglers at polnta
on the course, particularly at the grand
stand, to notify the spectators of the ap
proach of a car, will be duplicated this
year.
The county and town authorities of Nas
sau county are cooperating with the Long
Island Motor parkway and the Motor
Cups Holding company to Improve the
highways leading to tho grandstand. Road
surfaces are being repaired and will later
be treated with oil. By an arrangement
with the Long Island Motor parkway the
Cup company haa arranged to open a
large field west of the grandstand for the
use of the general public. No charge will
be made for car entering the field; a nom
inal charge of I per person will be made
for those who enter the field, whether oc
cupying automobile or on foot.
This field immediately adjoins the grand
stand to the west and Is conveniently lo
cated for seeing the sore beards, which
are placed on the official stand. The res
taurant and catering privilege will be
more complete and satisfactory than ever.
Sheriff Foster of Nassau county Is already
taking steps to make cafe the circuit,
having, In addition td himself, the und-r
sheriff and various deputies at work at
this" early date arranging the various de
tails preliminary to the events to be held
In October.
It a cere Engage Quarters.
Racing and training quarter are being
engaged almost daily by entrants on and
close to the circuit. The attention of en
trants is called to the fact that no pre
liminary practice will be permitted except
to thoeo who have pHld their entry fee and
recolvcd the official radiator plates fur
nished by the Motor Cups Holding com
pany. Ail cars not equipped with these
plates wjll be cautioned by the road aiA
thorltle and be removed from the publlo
highway on practice mornings. Ten days
of preliminary practice will be allowed
for each race, not including Sunday. The
Board of Supervisor of Nassau county
ha been particularly liberal this year and
permitted speed In practice on these ten
day from S until 8 o'clock In the morning.
All Intersecting road and crossings will be
guarded by flagmen, sworn In aa deputy
sheriffs, who will keep traffic from the
hlhgway during the practice hour.
It 1 worthy of note that practically all
of the reservations for seat, boxes and
parking spaces, which at this time I un
usually large, provide for the same boxes,
seats and parking spaces for both race,
indicating that the general publlo 1 con
vinced, as are the promoters of these
events, that both will be equally Interest
ing. The Class C rules are 80 liberal In
their terms that the cars are limited only
to piston displacement, there being no
other restriction except that of safety,
which need be considered by tho designers.
Special lubrication, timing, tires, slse of
valves and other details are permissible
and should produce cars capable of phe
nomenally fast time.
Three llulrka Entered.

Old Cy Toung haa at last resorted to the

use It, but this season In tight place he
ha taken It up and finds It his most ef

Walter Johnson of Washington, held the

of those. Johnson ha no peer in th
American league and the pity I he 1 not

The American league has created the new
office of scout for umpire and ha very
fittingly employed John F. Sheridan, the
old veteran ump, for the place. It la a

The STODDARD-DAYTON was built right to begin with
No novice fashioned this car
No unskilled machanic has a hand in its construction
Its great popularity has been bottomed on its exceeding grace its
great beauty, and its endurance and speed
The same men who have made it what it is, have added some im
provements to the 1911 models
These improvements are not added because they make the machine
look pretty nor because they are catchy
They are observations of the keenest, most skilled men in the
country
They make the car stronger and faster
It will be worth your, while, whether you own one of these ma
chines or not, to drop in and see just what they are
We are glad, always, to give demonstration of the Stoddard-Dayion.
A complete line of Limousine. Landaulet, Coupe, Touring Cart, Torpedoes, Roadstora. Truck and Delivery Wagon.
