AUTOS TO HAV E
SIX CYLINDERS
NEW EPOCH is AT HAND FOB
HoRsELEss MACHINES
Wonderful Demonstration Given by
Great Arrow Car in GIidden Tour
Sets NJ Manufacturers
Thinking

Lancias recognized recklessness of
last year resulted in his not being
made favorite i'm any of the books this
year. With most of the layers of odds
he rated as fourth choice, in spite of
the high power and recognized prowess
of the Fiat.
Judging from the complications that
have arisen with every Vanderbilt cup
race court of Solomons would not
be able to conduct the affair to the
satisfaction of every one.
A few years ago the word was passed
along that the next season was to be
one for touring cars and then followed
the slogan of next year will be a
four cylinder year" In direct pro-
gression it is already foreshadowed
that 1907 will mark the beginning Of
the six-cylinder epoch. Such models
as have been already produced have
verified in practice the theory Of six
cylinders making q beautifully bal
anced engine.
The truly wonderful demonstration
of the six-cylinder proposition given
by Forbes Dey with his Great Arrow
in the Glidden tour, was a vindica-
ton that set all the makers thinking.
The elasticity and resourcefulness of
the "big six" equaled that of steam
Gus. A French expert who observed the
car spoke of the six-cylinder as "the
highest exponer Of motor car achieve
ment" In connection with the advent
of six-cylinder cars it is interesting
to note that in this move America is
quite abreast of Europe.
Mr.. Dey had his six-cylinder Arrow
at the Vanderbilt course and carried
the special issue of a class paper.
CtAutomobile Topics') around the
course for distribution the day before
the race. The car excited keen inter-
est among the racing men, for with
the tonneau loaded it reeled off sixty
miles an hour, yet as a serviceable
road vehicle it was in striking con-
trast with the freaksh racers that are
not of practical utility. Several made
the prophecy that another year would
see six-cylinder racers.

END RUNNERS
ARE In DEMAND
FOOTBALL COACHES NEED THE
SPRINTERS
outrigsers This Season Find Them-
selves Called Upon to Do Twice the
Work Required Of Them
in Former Years

The coaches this year have agreed on
two points under the new rules. First,
that among the many candidates that
report for a trial for the team one man
must be found who can be developed
into quick end runner.
A player to make good at this posi-
tion must subject himself to a strict
discipline of living and becoming a
sprinter. He not only has, to be quick
sighted. but quicker still at skirting the
ends the instant the ball is passed to
him. This year the end man finds him
self doing double the amount of work
as formerly
He is as important to his team as a
pitcher is to a baseball nine, as he forms
one-half Of the battery. The more agile,
tackle type are given the preference.
The 145-pound end man of last year will
not do. Next. but none the least inn
portant, Is the kicker, whether he be a
drop, placement or punter- Never be-
fore has there been such a demand for
lxickers as this season.
Every member of the squad is given
daily Instructions at kicking by the
coach, who hopes he may discover one
available man whom he can depend
upon to boot the ball toward the desired
goal. BY so doing he completes the 9TH
er half of the battery for his team.

sERAPHS PLAY
SEATTLE TO-DAY
THIS IS THE FINAL WEEK OF
BASEBALL
siwashes viii Struggle With Los An
geIes Team for the Second
Place in Pacific Coast
League Standing

The Seattle Siwashes arrived in Los
Angeles yesterday to fight with Los
Angeles for the second place in the Pa
cific coast league standing. That place
is now held by Seattle with Los An
geles third so that whoever wins the
series will also get the second position.
Los Angeles has just finished a series
with San Francisco and the Seals won
three out of the six games played The
first was tie so this gave the San
Francisco bunch the series. By losing
to the Seals last week Los Angeles also
lost second place which she held for
a while.
The Angels are in good condition to
put up strong struggle for second
honors.
The first game will be played today
and If the boys play as good ball
| in the first game with Seattle as they
did against San Francisco last Sunday
there are mighty strong chances of their
regaining second place.
| With most of the star players back
in the game and with good team work
it certainly looks like sure defeat for
the Siwashes. Dillon is again at his
position on first and Eager behind the
bat Bernard returned to his position
in center Sunday and this about CON-
pletes the team.
Pitching Staff Crippled
Gochnauer is still out of the game,
but what worries Captain Dillon most
| is the fact that his pitchers are all in
poor condition and hardly able to twirl
at all. Judge -Nagle, although he
| played at short Sunday, is unable to
pitch because of his knee which was
| injured last week and as a result can
hardly walk.
FNttv;,. 1,NI,, sfaI, I,oI
day and who is the best pitcher that
| Captain Dillon has, is hardly able to
use his right arm and all last week
was out of the game because of the
| strained tendon in his side and is not
| much better now.
Burns and Bergeman are still LETT,
but neither of them is effective enough
to do much good. They can, however.
| be used in an emergency. Both pitched
last week but neither of them won.
For while Bergeman was sick and did
not show up on the bench
Carlisle was about the best man on
! the team last week, but it is doubtful
whether his game would have been
better than Bernard's, who was unable
| to play because of sickness. For man
who was in every game, his batting,
! fielding and base running was by far
the best Of any of his team mates.
Siwashes are in fine condition and
will be able to resist the pace that will
be set for them by Los Angeles. They
have no thought of giving up the de-
sired position and will make the An
gels work for every game that they
| win.
Seattle is playing we'll and was bat
ting well against Fresno last week, but
was once shut out by Hoag, one Of tllc
Raisln eating bunchs bush twirlers.

REVENGE ON A BRIDEGROOM
All Montclair Invited to "Come and
Bring Noise" at Yale Mans
Wedding
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK. Oct. "a small cir
cular printed in bold black type, which
dropped from each neatly folded news
paper yesterday morning, threw the
townspeople of Montclair, N. j., into
a furry of excitement and puzzled
speculation. Out of doors the small
parcel forced itself upon the attention
of every pasSerby. From trees, FENCES,
posts and even front doors, 1t appealed
to the public:
"Wedding tonight at Gates and Clin-
ton avenues. Come at $3.50 and bring
a noise.
"THE COMMITTEE"
Into the home of William p. Sands,
at Gates and Clinton avenues, the
poster brought CONSERVATION as well
as excitement, for the wedding OF Mr..
Sands daughter, Miss Kate McCrea
Sands, to Mr.. Ernest Underhill Of 107
Harrison avenue. Harrison, N. j., had
been announced for last night. The
prospective bridegroom was quickly
notified and post haste he hurried to
the Sands home.
In the meantime the police had been
notified Chief Gallagher promised to
afford the young couple every protec-
tion and uniformed men were imme-
diately stationed near the home Of the
bride and in front Of the First Con-
SfeBatlOndl cnulcI, where thc WeuulHS
was to be held. When first shown the
circular young Underhill was as angry
and mystified as the others. After a
moments thought, however, he smiled
and called Mr.. Sands to one side.
1--WE won't need the police" he told
him, "and you can be sure that there1l
be no demonstration"
AS Underhill had predicted, no dis
turbanee marred the wedding Three
hundred guests were present when the
Rev. Dr. Armory II. Bradford per-
formed the ceremony. Underhil re-
fused to tell who had issued the cir
cular but friend was more communi-
cative.
"Of course. Underhill won't tell" he
laughed. "The man who played that

find a manager by the name of Fran

might be made.

strosities as ''phthisis." ''psychical,'
"mnemonics" and 'phlegm" were &C.
counted the smartest ones In the room,

spoilers will have nothing In particular

Is still a good way of. so say the spell

forward with a plan for what they

1t has long been a belief of Mr.. Car
negie that the English language Is
destined TO become the language of the
world and that Its adoption as such
will have a great influence toward
International peace. The chief obsta-
Gle to the speedy attainment of this
result Is the contradictory, difficult and
often arbitrary system Of spelling
which has come into existence In conse-
quence of the peculiar circumstances
under which the language was formed.
Spelling reform even in America Is no
new thing. In this country 1t dates
back at least to the time of Benjamin

1t is the purpose of the reform SPELL
ers to follow closely certain spellings
proposed By the National Educational
association, such as ''altho" for ''al
though" thru" for through" PRO
gram" for programme" "thoroly" for
thoroughly" etc. They will aim to
proceed conservatively and seek to
simplify by elimination of unnecessary
letters rather than by radical change.
This, it is urged. will be in accordance
with what has been going on for sew
sral hundred years. as any one may see
by perusal Of old books. We no longer

same letter has been dropped from the
termination of almanac and several
other words In which 1t was wont to

now commonly left out of "color,"
Savior" "favor" and many similar
words, though 1t Is but a short time
since they were spelled with this let
ter, and in England that Is still the
usage. In this country ''esthetic" is
now much used in preference to "aes-
thetic," and 1t is the aim of the re-
formers to substitute simple vowels
generally for the more inconvenisnt
form Of the diphthong. Scholars and
literary men are not agreed. however,
rs to the desirability Of introducing
these changes in the language. Some
very d%iscordant notes are heard In
England when the proposition Is men,
