Remarkable Record Made With Buick
Car at Montgomery

Montgomery, Ala, May 5.-Two thou
sand motor enthusiasts yesterday saw
Louis Chevrola of the Buick team,
drive a mile in Sc seconds fiat with a
30-horse power car over the fair
grounds mile track. He won the 100
mile race easily, going the distance in
126 minutes, after having tire trouble
at several junctures.
George Dewitt was the star of the
day. The Jacksonville member of the
Buick team won their three races. the
only other event of the day not being
open to him. The Alabama champion
ship went to Monk Newell in a Chal-
mers-Detroit. Chevrola drove @,miIe

new worlds record. Robert Stubs of
Birmingham won the two motorcycle

SENT G. Q. d. SIGN TO ROACH.
Veteran Twirler May Join the Team
i'm q Few Days.

Topeka will have one new pitcher
within a few days. This morning
Cooley decided that he needed another
man and sent the c. @. D. sign to the
veteran John Roach, whose phenomenal
splitter saved many a game for the To-
peka team last season. Roach is one
OF the Oldest pitchers in the world, and
lives at Peoria and although now on
the staff, he has that one very desira-
BILE quality-plenty of nerve. And that
is just what is ailing the pitchers now
Roach did not want to report until
warm weather came. And when in
the practice games the young pitchers
showed up unusually strong, Cooley de-
cided that he had no room for Roach
and released him. Roach may still be
free and he may have been signed by
some other club. 1t is hoped however
that he is loose, for Roach would surely
be effective against the Western league
teams.

Notes of the Game.


Talk about your hard luck About
the worst case of it came in the
eighth inning. Topeka had stored
away two runs in this act. and
ThomaSon was on second with only
one out. Wooley had three balls and
two strikes and in lodging the fourth
ball, the ball hit the bat and lit on
fair ground. Lige was out and a bat
ting rally was nipped before 1t had
fairly started.
The rival third basemen tried to
show their arms during the game and
incidentally surpass the LIE Jeune
record. Jay says WEIGH threw the
worst one, for Jays went right over
Cooley's head while Welch's was sew
eral feet off side.
Danberry seemed to have recovered
from the effects of that fine. At any
rate he put some. vocal efforts into
the afternoons events.
that a game is lost. Errors are ex-
pected to go with any game. No
pitcher can expect perfect support
and any good pitcher working right
is not affected by bad support.
Pitching under such fire is the best
test. Evidently the Topeka pitchers
haven't come around" yet.
Wooley made a beautiful peg from
center field in the ninth inning and
caught WEIGH at third after Stovall
had hit safe to center.
Young Beltz made a pretty good
effort in the inning in which he
worked He walked the first one, but
with a runner on the bases, he tight
ened up and did some great work.
He would have finished, but Thomson
WAS sent in TO bat.
Alderman didn't show such an as
sortment as he carried around with
him in 1906 when he was with the
Topeka team for a short time The
older a pitcher gets the less he uses.
1t isn't how much a pitcher has but
how much he can use it, and most
pitchers have but a few different
things in the repertoire.
Cooley isn't worried over his club
yet, not yet. The crafty manager of
the locals knows where his team is
lacking as much as any of the fans,
and is sparing no pains to remedy the
weak spots. At present it is the
pitchers, who are the most at fault.
He will have them working before
very many days. or else have some
pitchers that will work.
Kaufman is pitching this after
noon Tomorrow 1t is likely to be
Beltz or Thomson. Both the young
| southpaws are in just about as good
condition as the more experienced
| twirlers.
Cooley retired in the seventh in
favor of Kunkel. Cooley hurt his leg
when he fell on Smith, while chasing
| him between the bases.
| The rest of the games start at $3.50
with the exception of the Sunday
| games which are called at o'clock.
