McCormlck Is about as good shortstop as
ho Is bowler. Don't know whether that Is
good recommendation or not, at least
Gllham won't sign him. That seems suffi
cient.
Bill Voss haa been flirting around those
cellar leaguers lately. It Is rumored about
that he Intends to have a new BrndeRaard
team that will ba composed of Cellaretles
only.
It beglna to look as though the Btora
Trlumpha ara going to take down the
money for first place this season. It will
be a hard uphill fight to displace them
from now on. '
Rammv Winters believes hla luck will

Tha MoCord-Brady Advoa are keeping up

Joe loS la a favorite among tha cellar
bowlera. where ha haa been shooting this
winter, and they are preparing to give him
a great aend-off when he pitches his first
game for the Rourkea.
Myron Btuna ahot eleven strike In one
gams at Columbus In tha Btort-Columbua
match laat week, drawing a split In the
other frame, and finishing with the high
total of the aeaaon for tha Columbus allays.
Tha Fiuitabla I tha only team In tha
Mercantile ahootlng tha same men that
they atarted tha aeaaon .with and yet they
have never been In danger of loalng tha
lead. Captain Vultea must ba soma mana
ger.
Tha call of tha base ball manacera will
be tha signal for many of tha bowlera to
leave the ajleya for tha diamond. At least
fifty well known bowlera of thla city ara
professional or eeml-professlonal bass ball
men.
Tha basement alleys at Kevt'a have been
uaed mora thla aeaaon than at any time
since they were built. Many a good young
bowler played hla first game at thla place
and Is now sacking leaguea higher up. It a
a good training ground.
Dick Taft found a horseshoe with eight
badly bent nails attached, ao Immediately
started for the alleys to try for the Twin
Oaka prise. Ha atarted out with eight
wide open frame and ever sine then ha
keepa ahy of lucky charms.
Rill Martin haa been a bit off since ahont.
Itig that fifty-game match with Btunz. but
aeema to have entirely recovered again
and I Itching for a return match. If he
can't get Ptuns ha la willing to take any
body elae on that Wanta to shoot.
AUSTRALIA WANTS TROPHY
(Continued from Flrat Page.)
The British Isle and tha United States
might agree to play the tlea In South
Africa. Then again South Africa and this
country might engage in the ties In Eng
land. Or the ties might be decided In thla
country. If either plan were followed tha
winning nation would go to Australia. Few
there are, however, who beileve that any
thing Ilka thla will b done, although
possible and within the rules governing
tha trophy.
On account of tha late data aet for tha
national championship In thla country this
season, tha naming of tha American team
must be made before tha playing of tha
tournament at Newport. That further
complicates the matter. It upholds tha
prevailing opinion that the challenging
natlona will meet In New Zealand, proba
bly at Chriatchurch, early In December.
What tha South Africans will accomplish
In the match la a problem. There la
little play on turf there and thalr leading
men have developed their game upon earth
courts.

SHERIDAN, Vo. March 25. (Speolal

fought boxing eshlbttlotia aver aaen In
j Sheridan, Maurice Thompson rricl.y dem
omtrated hla auperloiity over let Jen-
sen. Denver'a Battling Dana, and scored
the decision. A crowd of mora than l,0u0
here wltneed tha exhibition, which went
twenty rounds, and saw the Dane lose the
first fight he has ever lost In Sheridan.
Only Jnsn's wonderful endurance and
remarkable ability to stand hard punish
ment saved hi in from a knockout. Ha
came neater going to the floor for the
count in tha twentieth round than over
before In his career:
Thompaon outpointed hla opponent
throughout tha fight, apparently landing
at will. Jenaen teemed unable to fathom
the Butte boy s guard and, with tha ex
ception of an occasional round, did little
damage.

have been completed for the holding of the
national stock chassis meeting. Again It
will be ataged at Elgin. III. Also, It will
take two days, August 25 and 28. The
Elgin Road Race association and the Chi
cago Motor club report that they have had
the American Automobile association's as
surance to thla effect.
Already plans are under way for the
races. At a recent Joint meeting of the
two middle west organisations the contest
was discussed thoroughly. Three races will
be strung over the two days. The course
that was used so Successfully last year will
again ba chosen. In fact the promoters
have progressed so far with their plans
that they are In a position to announce a
change In the starting time of the races
and a possible betterment of tha policing
proposition, effective though If was in
191.
On August 25 the Illinois, Kane county
gnd Fog River trophy events will be run,
while tha big event for the Elgin national
trophy for care under 800 cublo Inches dis
placement will be held the following day
over" a 100-mile course, or thirty-four laps
of tb circuit.
It waa decided at the meeting that the
course for the coming races shall b
closed at twenty minutes before tha start,
which will take place at U o'olock this
year. Instead of 10 o'clock, as waa the case
In 1910. ,
With a later start plenty of time will be
afforded the speotatora to reach the van
tage point within tha Incloeura, as no one
will be allowed to cross the path of the
cars after the first machine is under way.
An effort will be made to secure federal
troops to patrol the course. Laat year the
Illinois National Guard did well, but the
promoters figure that tha regulars would
b an- Innovation and would be better
suited to the work.
Polo Ponies Are to
Have Good Quarters
Challengers to Be Well Take Care Of
When They Come to inis
Side for Match.
NEW YORK. March 25. In order that
tha Hurllngham pololsta may not ba at a
lose for quarters for their poniea when they
arrlv,o the American association Informed
tha challengers that there would be plenty
of stall room at Lakewood.
Contrary to rumor, the Americana win
continue their practice work at Lakewood
when tha English team arrlvea. inera ara
two fields at the Georgian court grounds
and abundant opportunity wilt be offered
both squads for practice. The rumor that
tha American team would leave Lakewood
upon the appearance of their proapecuva
ooDbnents and hold tho fort at Meadow
Brook prove to bo entirely without foun
datlon.
Lawrence Fltxpatrlck, trainer for Harry
Payn Whitney, ha received permleelon
from tha town council of Lakewood to
train tha poniea In hla car on tha fin
apeedway In that borough. Ho will uae tha
Frank D. Heard atablea as his quarters for
tha forty ponies in his care.
While the teama wll constantly be In
contact at the lakewood grounds, there
will be little or no chance to draw a Una on
thalr proapetclvo merlta through even im
promptu matches, aa, denplte tha prospect
of nearly all the preliminary work oeing
done at I-akewood, there will bo no play
between Engliah and American playere.
It Is the intention of tha polo committee
to put Into effect the achema for identify
Ing the playera by a system of colors, vlsi
Blue to Indicate No. 1; yellow, No. 2; red.
No. I, and white, back.
This was the scheme proposed by Captain
E. D. Miller and put Into effect at Rugby,
England, some time ago. It was alao pro
posed for tho International In 1909, but
failed to bo put Into operation. While not
definitely decided upon for the Interna
tlonal matchea. tha schema will bo given
a trial In some of tha early matohea.

SAN FRANCISCO. Msrch 25 -Jack John
son, champion heavyweight pugilist, was
sentenced by Acting Police Judge Tread-
well to aerva twenty-five daya In the
county Jail on a charge .of exceeding the
automobile aed limit. Johnson pleaded
guilty to tha charge on Thuraday.
When sentence was pronounced. Johnson.
who has been acting as his own attorney
at his numerous appearances before the

he speed ordinances, asked that some one
be appointed to repreaent him.
Attorney Greeley, acting for Johnson,
then aaked for a stay of execution and an
appeal for bond. Judge Treadwell declined
to entertain either motion, declaring that
such an order could not be made In the
case of a defendant who had pleaded guilty
to a misdemeanor charge.
Johnson's attorney announced ha would
apply to the superior court for a writ of
habeas corpus.
Shortly after his arrival hera several daya

McBreen in Favor
of Bench Managers
Secretary of Boston American Club
Says Game is Making Change
Necessary.
NBW YORK, March 25 The discussion
as to the relative merits of a bench and
a playing manager for a baae ball team is
again under way.
"I beileve that before long all managers
will ba bench managers," said Hugh Mc
Breen, aecretary of the Boston Americans.
I think the gama la coming to that. Base
ball haa gone ahead so. much and come to
be so fast that before long tha manager
will have all ha can do to sit on tha bench
and direct the plays, without attempting
to get upon the coaching lines. Managers
must plan ahead, must ba figuring out the
next play and upon the lines they are apt
to lose sight of moves they have In their
minds In the Immediate duties of coaching.
You see a manager coaching at first
base one minute and then a situation arises
that takes him over to third base and It
doesn't seem to me that he can make these
moves and at tha aama time plan aa clearl
as If he were on the bench without any
thing to bother him except planning. Then
again, by sitting on the bench all the time
with his players around him ha Is con
stantly getting their Ideas and finding out
Just what they think of what ought to bo
dona."
Now it Just happens that the Boston
Americans have a bench manager, whloh
may or may not Influence McBreen's opin
ion; but, at any rata It Is -probable that
tha secretaries of tha New York, Cincinnati
and Brooklyn clubs In tha National league
and of tha Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland.
Chicago and Waahlngton clubs In the
American league would agree with him.
Tha secretaries of tho other major league
teams would probably declare in favor of
tha playing managers, who ara aa follows.
Name gnd Club. Position.
Chance, Chicago Clubs First base
Clarke, Pittsburg Kirates i.ert neia
Doom. r"niieieipnia taicner
Bresnahan. Ht. ixiula .Cardinals Catcher
Tenney, Boston Dovea Flrat base
Chase. Yankees First base
Wallace, pit. Louis Browns Third base
The whole question Is, of course, largely
a matter of Individuals and personality and
will probably ba a source of argument as
long as tha game extsta.
Western League Gossip
Frank Iabell got busy with the axa last
week and dropped flva of his hopefuls
from the training squad. Harmon, Lam

Iszy la having a fast training aeason
down at Wichita, the playera working hard
and conscientiously for places on the
squad and It looks aa If the Witches were
going after one of the first places.
Up at Des Moines there seems to be a
delightful uncertainty as to just what kind
of a base ball machine Is going to ba de
veloped from the varied material on hand.
The experience of the Des Molnss fans
during tha least aeason has discouraged
them a little. There la plenty of atuff on
hand, but until tha players get together
next week It will bo Impossible to get
Una on the team. The list of players
has thirty-one names, eleven of whom ara
stranger to the Des Molnoa fans.
Topeka haa signed another new pitcher,
A. A. Kaufman of Terre Haute, Ind,
Kaufman Is a right haader, six feet two
Inch tall, and ho la so sure of his posi
tion that ha brought hla wife along with
him. Another youngster, Karktns, has also
been added to tha Topeka staff by Man
ager Moore, and ha will try out for on of
the regular t wirier Jobs. Topeka will play
tha Whlta Box team Monday.
Sioux City began Ita training season last
week, tha pltchera and catchera reporting
first and limbering up a little. Chick
Hart man, tho little Sioux player who was
so popular with the Omaha fans, even
though an enemy, looks like tha star man
there thla year.
Horrayl Tha Antelopes, baaa ball playera
belonging to Lincoln, are to have a special

The Jackson Automobile company la go
ing out to win the big MW-mlle race which
will be run on the Indianapolis speedway
Decoration day. The .taikaon racing cata
rmvf- always acquitted thpmselvps moat
creditably In all the events which have
starred on many occasions on tha big In
dianapolis track, especially In the last big
even), which waa run on the Indianapolis
rpeedway previous to Its being paved. Thla
waa the contest for the Wheeler A Pheb
ler trophy In !!. Just to give an Idea of
what the conditions were under which cms
raced on the speedway before It was paved
here la a short account of the moat stren
uoua test that these racing care were ever
subjected to on the old speedway: The
distance of the raca waa 30 miles. There
were nineteen cars, nineteen started; at
the end of the fiftieth mile seventeen were
atill running, the Jackaon In the eighth
place. One hundred miles found the Jack
son seventh; 12K It had crept forward to
fourth place; at ISO miles, half the distance
of the race. It led the field by a safe mar
gin. The cip was not awarded, but there
was Inscribed upon It a record of the re
markable performance of the Jackson car.
Manager Gould said, In speaking of tho
Ford:
"Just contemplate on these figures for
a minute: Rulldlng S.000 cars In one fac
tory and shipping them all In on month.
It waa only a short while ago that S.WK)
cars represented the entire annual output
of tha fairly largo manufacturer of auto
mobiles. Think of the enormous force of
worktngmen. master mechanlca and gen
eral equipment necessary to produce and
ship 2,600 cars In twenty-eight days, twenty-four
working days, 1.600 machines, an
averago of IfiO cars per day; value of day'a
output over floo.OOO. Each week end the
Ford company had an order In with the
Michigan Central, one of a number of
roads used, for 200 box cara. The output
of tho Ford factory for 1D11 will be 30,000
cars. Accept tho combined estimates given
out by the various Amerioan motor car
manufacturers, of an output of 1F0,000 cars
for the present automobile year. Ford
alone will build at leaat 80,000 of these cais,
or In other words, one car In every five
American made cars sold In this country
this year will be a Ford."
John B. Hulett of the Losler Motor com
pany spent ssveral days In Omaha last
week, closing up an agency here. Hulett
Is elated over the performance of the Lo
sler out In Los Angeles last week. Here
Is a wire received of the event:
"LOS ANGELES, Cal., March ID. Teddy
Tetzlaff. driving a Lozler stock chassis,
defeated Ralph Do Pulma and his ninety
horse power Flat. In 100-mlla match race,
breaking world's records all the way.
Time as follows: Twenty-five miles, 18
minutes, 223 aeconds, S1H M. P. H.; 60
miles, 36 mlnutea, 2TH seconds, 82 M, P.
H. ; 75 miles, M minutes, 60H seconds, 82
M. P. 11.; 100 miles, 1 hour, 14 mlnutea, 20
seconds, SO'i M. P. II.
'Tetxlaff s fastest mile was the nineteenth
ap, which h turned In 41 seconds, gaining
a mile on tha foreigner. Da Palma drove
a consistent race, but tha terrific pace set
by the American-made car was too much
tor him and at tb finish tha Lozler led by
the comfortable margin of six and one
half miles."
With a total mileage of 24,159 mllea to
Ita credit and ST atatea travelled In alnce
last July, tho Abbot-Detroit "Bull Dog"
arrived in this city from Bioux City, la.,
at 10 o'clock last night, In chargo of Dr.
Chas. a. Perclva), editor of Health Maga
zine of New York City, under whose au
spices tha proposed 100,000 mile trip tit
the Abbott la being made.
The car Is attempting the longest auto
mobile trip ever before known In the his
tory of the Industry 100.000 mllea and Judg
ing by Ita performance up to data. It bids
fair to accomplish tha feat. The car which
Is a 1910 stock car, was purchased from th
Kansaa City agent after It had been uaed
as a demonstrator for 8.000 miles and been
a contestant In many endurance and re
liability runs.
Tha car Is equipped with American pro
ducts entirely, being furnished with Mpllt
dorf magneto, Caagraln speedometer, and
vacuum carafes for hot or cold dr.nka,
according to tha climate, cooking and
camping utensils, sleeping bags, block and
tackle, shovels, axea, and all tb necessary
equipment needed on a trip of the magni
tude of this one.
At the completion of th 100,000 miles, tha
car is to ba torn down and aubjected to
an exhaustlv examination by a teghlnal
committee composed of prominent automo
bile authorities, and It Is conceded that
both tha Industry and the Abbott Motor
Co. will benefit greatly by what haa been
accomplished by this II, 600 American auto
mobile. Bo great haa bem tne foreign demand
for the light weight model T car manufac
tured by tha Ford Motor Company of De
troit, that the export ahipplng department
of that company have been working over
time to fill the foreign orders. Ever since
tha flrat of tho year, tha Ford export de
partment has been making average dally
shipments of eighteen model T cars or
over a hundred cara a week, which In It
self la an industry thatmany automobile
concerns would bo proud of. The destina
tions of these cars ara varied, some be
ing aent to England, soma to Europe, to

Interesting to recall the prediction mad
nine years ago by the Raker company of
this city, that shaft drive would supersede
chain drlva In both gas rara and elect rlee.
The far-sighUdneaa of this prediction is
more apparent whan one stops to consider
how far back Into th dim past of motor
car construction nine yeara takes ua. At
that time shaft drive was a mere theory.
And that It today la an awonipllshedfact

shaft drive designing dons by Raker en

ago In tho Raker electric.
"Chain drive manufacturer the country

they said, 'but not In practice; chains are
more efficient.'
"But after on season a operation, the
shaft drive Baker had permanently estab
llshed Its superiority. Peeple had seen Its
unqualified success In the hands of over
1.000 owners. One world's record after an
other afforded still further proof. Chain
drive was doomed.
"One maker after another hastened to
meet tha popular demand by adopting soma
form of shaft drive In his 1911 product.
"While the Baker shaft la In Una with
the best gas car designing, It wab not
merely adopted from this source. It was
developed after yeara of careful experi
menting to meet the special requirements
of electric motor power. This was entirely
a question of applying the shaft drive prin
ciple to the needs of electric vehicles of
developing. In fact, a new type of trans
mission. This waa a difficult problem and
Its successful solution In Baker electrics
waa a singular achievement of modern en

It to operate without the strain upon gears,
