the prize. with the cup. which has done
more to stimulate the game than any
thing else IN recent years. in any Of the
centers- mentioned. there was never any
difficulty In securing national entrants to
contest for II each season. But the vic
tory OF the Australasians, Anthony II.
Wilding and Norman e. Brookes. at VIM
bledon, London. last July. has resulted
in greatly diminishing the chances for an
nual competitions in the future unless an
agreement as to deciding the matches
nearer to the possible challenging ma
lions Is entered into.
II Is the realization OF the almost in
s~urmountable difficulties which will al
ways confront challenging nations, so
long as the cup is held in fdr-away Aus
tralia, that has caused some Of the ma
lions. especially England. to ~promulgate
the plan Of next season deciding upon
some neutral country as the place Of
holding the competitions. This has found
much favor, but naturally It must meet
with the approval of the Australasian
holders before 1t may be put into effect
with a definite purpose. Both France
and Germany are said to have fine turf
courts, where the internationals could be
played, should the wish be to hold strictly
10 neutral GROUNDS, ana q nation tnat
had never held the great trophy. Then,
as one of the colonies, the Australaslans
may elect to return the cup to Wimbledon
for competition, which would make 1t
easy for the Americans to enter upon
courts and under conditions that are ia
miliar to them. Another phase OF the
plan, which is Just at the beginning of
discussion, contemplates the holding of
the matches in this country. as It was
here that the trophy was first offered.
The idea of bringing the cup to America
for the matches finds a most amazing
amount of support and it has been sug-
gested that they might be held in Phila-
delphia. where it was decided to hold the
international ties this season, In tho
event of the English teams coming over.
There is a possibility that England may
offer an amendment to the International
provisions surrounding the cup, so that
in future 1t may be annually played for
upon some courts that will be easily ac-
cessible to all of those nations who may
wish to compete for II.

Note that this car is not an ex-
periment-not a hasty makeshift.
We have worked for yer two
years in %perfecting it. Three of
the new cars have been run over
1000 miles.
Designed by Mr.. H. e. Coffin,
our vice-president. He is recog-
nized as the leading automobile
designer in America.
Mr.. Coffin made two trips TO
Europe, to combine in this a the
best foreign features with the best
American. He has thus made 1t
the typical car of today.
The lines are handsome, yet
conservative. The car follaws, in
this respect, the leading cars of
the year. The finish and uphol-
STEERING are the same as are found
in cars costing double this price.
The wheel base is 10 inches
compare that with rival cars We
have only a 2-inch longer base in
our $2,750 car.
Thus we give you a roomy and
elegant five-passenger car-not a
a that looks cheap because small.

BURNS ON SIZE OF PURSES
Champion Not Inclined TO FiEht for
Mere Gum Money.


LONDON, July 25.-Tommy Burns the
boxer. who Is now on his way to Australia
gave this letter to the newspapers regard
ing the dispute with Jack Johnson:
Below I give a few facts concerning JACK
Johnson and myself. While In the music
halls Jack Johnson had printed statements
TO the effect that he has defeated every
man he ever met. His record, as prlnteu
in the American Sporting ANIMALS, shows,
drawn contests, OF which some are called
mo decision" contests. Furthermore, he
was knocked out by Joe Choynski In three
rounds, he lost on a foul to Joe Jeanette
In two rounds and he was also defeated by
Marvin Hart on March %, 1906. at San
Francisco, Just eleven months before / de-
teated Marvin Hart for the championship
Of America at Los Angeles.
/ am getting these bills out to prove to
the public that Jack Johnson Is not telling
the truth about his performances. II has
been stated in the press that the offer of
$1,000 is a splendid offer and should be ac-
cepted by me. Now, let me ask you a SEN
sible. question, for l judge that most of you
for SIS a week and you knew that YOU
could get $50 a week for a similar Job,
would you not take the job at $50? The
same thing applies to the N2,50 offer for
johnson and myself: why should I accept
this amount when / can get twice that
amount elsewhere?
The statement given below will prove 10
YOU that the statement that Si2.5OO Is ae
large a purse as we could get, and that no
club would give the money I demand, is
all wrong.

WOLFF swIMs FOR THIRTY MILES
Current Prevents His Making Way
Across Channel.

LONDON, July 25.-Jabez Wolff has
failed again in his attempt to swim the
English channel. This was his first effort
this year. Wolff started at daybreak, and
almost until the last the prospects of his
reaching the French shore seemed bright.
This time he had arranged with a French
pilot to guide him in French waters. and
help him to avoid the dangerous currents
off Cape Grisnez, which have defeated him
before.
He was forced to give up, however, when
he was three miles off the French coast,
and after he had been in the water four
teen hours. He was perfectly fresh. but
he was unable to make any Roadway
against the strong current which was car
rying him toward the North sea. He had
covered thirty-five miles. Wolff was accom-

Sheridan Was Confident.
NEW YORK, July 5.-Nartin Sheridan.
who won both the free style discus and
the Greek discus in London, making a new
worlds record in the latter event, is the
most reliable point winner in the world
Sheridan has the happy faculty Of always
making good" in the big emergencies. In
the American tryouts and in the few con-
tests he entered before the team sailed
Martin didn't shine. Many people thought
that the great champion had at last come
to the end Of his winning streak and that
new and perhaps better champions would
take his place among the record breakers.
Sheridan is a light man among the weight
throwers. 1t seemed likely that heavier
men like Horn and Dearborn would beat
him when they had mastered the knack Of
throwing the saucer-shaped missile.
But just before the team sailed Martin,
with his quiet smile. whispered: Il can
let out a few links yet. They'll have to
go some to beat me in the big test. Horn
is likely to beat anybody, but 1 feel sure
/ can beat the rest" And when the big
test" came Martha made good. The discus
was thrown on wet and soggy ground In
a rain storm. Throwing this smooth and
slippery object under such conditions is
almost impossible which accounts for the
fact that Martin didn't establish a new
mark in the free style. But he won and
made five big points for America. Sheridan
is a great athlete. He is all-around cham
pion and no man living car take that title
away from him, with the possible exception
OF Garrels Of the Chicago Athletic assocla-
ton. Garrels has a chance ard no doubt
the two will light it out this year. Like
many other noted athletes, Sheridan comes
OF a famous athletic family. His big
brother, Dick. was a first class weight
thrower a few years sgo. Martin says his
father was the greatest leaper in Ireland.

4 may be mistaken, but firmly be-
lieye that a week before the election
r had the race won, said Judge w.
I. Eagleton of Pawnee, who was Bird
McGuire's opponent for congress in
the first district last fall
Judge Eagleton was in the city today
enroute to Lawton on legal business
and he talked entertainingly with
friends on politics in the first district
Mcclure will be nominated again, but
l believe he can be beaten if the
democrats put up a strong man and
make the proper kind of campaign, p
said he. I'VE had no money to make
the fight with last fall, our campaign
all told, amounting to less than 5000
A week before the election, the repub-
lican managers, realizing that we had
them beat, rushed their best speakers
into every county while we having no
money 10 pay expenses OF speakers
could not follow them up and the re-
suit was that they turned the tide
against us. The district has a nom
inal republican majority of about 5000
but It can be overcome by the right
kind Of campaigning"
Judge Eagleton said he would not
be candidate for the nomination this
year. Among the prospective candi-
dates are ]. Y. Callahan Of Garfield
county. former delegate to congress,
Representative Ellis Of Garfield coun-
ty; State Senator Henry S. Johnson
and Representative Murdock. Col. Roy
Hoffman has also been mentioned but
It is not thought likely that he will
be a candidate.
