to Make Up the Time Lost in
Replacing or Repairing Tires.

New York, March 9s.-Several important
changes will be made in the rules for the
Glidden Cup tour OF the American Auto
mobile Association this season.

Ing board, has had several conferences re-
garding the route and the method OF con

side OF the trip and the event viii be
oticially designated as a reliability tour
ing contest This will at once remove the
cause for objection sometimes made that
the daily runs were far too strenuous for
leisurely and comfortable touring.
One OF the rules that has received care
ful attention has been on the subject Of
tire repairs. The committee has deter
mined that contestants this year will not
be required 10 make Up the time lost in
replacing or repairing tires. TIE observer

JONES FEARS THE MAPS.
Sox Leader Thinks Team that Beats
Cleveland VIII Win Pennant.


New Orleans. March 2S.-Fielder Jones.
the clever manager of the Chicago Ameri-
can League team. believes that the club
that beats out Cleveland will win the
pennant. Other managers don't like
Cleveland's prospects. but Lajoie and his
team look good TO Jones.

first. of course. but the team We will have
10 beat out this time will be Cleveland.
In view of the fact that the Maps have
fallen down in the middle Of the season

Will not agree with me, perhaps, but

There are Joss. Liebhardt, Rhoades. and
Berger, all Of them corkers. Berger was
not of much use last year. but he viii be
good this year, and Hess will be in much
better conditiop than he was last year.
II figure that the Athletics have been
weakened in their pitching department
by the loss Of Waddell. He always was
good against the Sox. Seybold will be
out OF the game for the first month or
two, and that also will be a great handi-
cap TO Connie Mack The New York team

whether or not the changes that have

Il lost my arm in 1905 in that heavy

You don't hear spitban pitchers like al

about the moisture ball
There is no more bad effects from
throwing the spitball than hurling IN a
curve In fact I would rather pitch a
spitball than a curve. Some people are
inclined to believe that the spitbau has
put my arm out Of business. but despite
all this comment there is no doubt that
the rain in which I pitched for three in
nings gave me cold in the arm. I have
tried all sorts Of liniments. but at last
have found the right one.
Gold is the only thing. according .o
my idea, which Injuries the arm. 1t takes
