OLYMPIC CHAMPS
FINISH THEIR
OCEAN RACE
FINAL SQUAD OF AMERICAN ATH.
LETES RETURNS FROM GREAT
eRITAIN-NEW YORK READY
FOR RECEPTION.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-The last OF
the Olympic heroes abroad arrived to-
day. The Cunard liner Mauretania
which locked at a. II. brought Law
son Robertson, Melvin Sheppard,
Charles Bacon, j. b. Taylor, Harvey
Cohn, Harry Porter and Frank Riley
The White Star line steamer Baltic
which locked at IL a. m, brought Geo
Bonhag. Joseph Bromilow, Jr. Dan
Kelly, j. b. Sullivan and Lee Talbot.
The arrival OF the two big liners
practically was the last race OF the
Olympic championships. The athletes
on the two steamers were more than
anxious to see which got in first and
IT was a sort OF ocean race--a hitting
climax TO the great Olympics.
Long before the arrival Of the
steamers both pier As and oil were
lined with friends Of the boys. p. j..
Conway, president OF the lrish-Ameri-
can Athletic club, was on hand early
and led a great bunch from the club.
Mr. Conway intended to go down the
bay TO meet the boys, but found II i'm
possible owing to the difference in the
time OF the arrival.
The heroes got a grand welcome
home. All were glad TO get back and
pleased TO think that a grand reception
awaitd them by the whole OF New
York city.

HEIDRICH'S COMING HAS
GREATLY HELPED BROWNS

to sprinting and bruislng slides on the
bases.
Today Heidrick says he is In better
shape than he has been In years, for
his legs are strong after a three-year
rest, and his batting eye seems as
good as ever He is still a bit heavy
and soft but a week or two OF work
Will put him in fine condition.
Heidrick declined bountiful offers
to return 10 the game under Yarions-
managers, including Clarke Griffith.
Last spring he married and in the
last three years he has played only n
few times with independent teams
near his home. He was carried on
the ST Louis reserve list until last
winter. when Cleveland acquired title
TO him. Every year the St Louis club
sent him q contract, and last spring
he received one from Cleveland, whish
he returned unsigned. Even his once
bosom friend Bobby Wallace seldom
heard from it4ftf5z ard everybody
thought that he would never return
to the baseball arena.
But the baseball fever never leaves
a man who loves TO play the game as
Heidrick does. He followed the for.
tunes of his old team and began 10

Then Heidrick caught the fever In
more virulent form. He always liked
to be with a winner and the prospect
OF drawing big salary for Two
months and possibly cutting a worlds
championship melon clinched the ar.
gument. He signed for two years at
a salary seldom paid these days.

out the after effect OF pumping for /
long time, as Is required by the big
tires Used. put brand OF air Into the
tires which expands rapidly under the
heat generated by fast driving. II Is
not impossible that many tire has
brown out for some apparently I'M
known reason owing to the fact that
too much of this compressed air was
inserted at the outset, the expansion
causing the blow out. The two
Haynes cars on the G,idden tour did
not have a blow out, and Frank Mutt
and Lorirg Wagner gave an explana-
ton when told that one OF their tires
was slightly soft. We never fill a
tire TO the limit for the air that comes
in bottles and tanks expands some
what under hard driving and that tire
will be hard as may be desired with
in a very short time" The tire did
get hard. The air pumped in by a
hand pump also expands and wise
drivers do not fill their tires TO the
limit even In that way Thed rivers
who have the least tire trouble solved
the riddle long time ago, but many
are not wise even today.
