DIAMOND |. D. PRICES
SAME AS FOR cLlNcHERs|

The reduction in the price of Dia-
mond tires, effective September l, av-
erages 15 per cent. Perhaps the most
notable feature of the change is the
placing OF the quick detachable type
of tires on the same price basis as the
regular clinchers for one-piece rims.
This is especially important for the
reason that the quick-acting rims are
being used more and more generally
as time goes on.
However, on every type of tire and
on tubes as we'll as castings prices are
materially lower for 1908 and . new
stimulus is thereby undoubtedly given
the automobile business as a whole.
1t is In this light that the Diamond
Rubber company regards the price re-
duction, although it is not the prin-
cipal reason for the change.
"The standardization of tires has
made rapid progress" said Theodore
Weigele of the Diamond factories in
Akron yesterday. land in time to
come will go still further Quality and
price will both be factors in the pub
lies ultimate selection of the strictly
standard tire. AS to price, we are
able to join with the automobile man
ufacturers in reducing the cost of
output. the present seasons elimina-
ton of faulty merchandising practices
In the automobile business as a whole
and because few have been able to cut
out almost entirely the expenses
chargeable to defects in manufacture.
Another consideration helping to give
users a better price is the practical
Standardization of tire sizes. Our
equipment can now be economically
regulated and maintained. In more
ways than simply the lower prices.
also, Is the automobile owner to have
larger moneys worth in tire serv-
ice. The improvements we have ac-
complished notably increase the mile
age tires will give and reduce tire
repair bills at the same time. This
is largely because the tread will have
greater life than formerly The cor
rect economic principle is that the
tread of a tire should wear so long
that, barring accidents, only the aging
and natural deterioration of the body
will cause the casing finally to give
way"

KEENF'S FILLY

by Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 5.--Under nearly
equal weight conditions, John 10. Mad
denis colt, Sir Martin, and James II.
Keene's Futurity winner, Masquette,
met this afternoon in the rich Flatbush
stas,es at Sheepshead Bay, and Sir Mar
tin won. AS in the Futurity, Sir Martin
had run well while giving the Keene
filly nine pounds, shouldering 127 to her
11S pounds. 1t was thought today, with
the handicap removed, he might take
her measure, and he did. The result
has given rise to a belief In some quar-
ters that after all the question of the
best 2-year-old of the season is not yet
settled, and perhaps is one altogether of
weight, if not of distance also, the Flat
bush stakes, which Sir aMrtin won to-
day, being seven furlongs to the Futur-
ity's six.
In the race today Wedding Bells
jumped into the lead at the start by a
length and half, with Maskette and
Sir Martin In close attendance. At the
bend into the stretch Maskette took the
lead by half length, with Sir Martin
second. Schilling put Sir Martin under
a drive, and catching the Keene filly at
the furlong pole, took the lead and won
easily by four lengths, Maskette being
a length and half before Fayette.
]. r. Keene's Ballot won the Century
stakes mile and half, and in doing
so new track record of 2:30 3-5 was
made. This time is very close to the
worlds record for the distance, which
is 2:301s, made by Goodrich at Chicago
several years ago,
