trials were the brake tests made at
speeds of twenty, twenty-five, thirty

warning.
A White steamer driven by r. H.
Josnson, was used to test Firestone
Nonskid tires, which depend for non
slip efficiency upon raised rubber let

After the car had been brought to
violent stop it was found that the
only effect upon the road was the heat
created by the friction Of the tires on
the ground, and that the nonskid tires
had not deviated one sixteenth Of an
inch from their course, The efficiency

posed to be q talkfest on the status Of
President Harry C, Pulliam, turned out
to be one Of the most important war
councils in the annals Of the national
game, according to inside information
handed out the other day by one of the
baseball men IN the New York, who
generally knows what he is talking
about.
This is the story: The National and
American leagues are prepared TO strike
a deathblow at the Eastern league and
American association should this clique
OF class IA moguls mention war next
fall. Since the class AA people refused
TO sign the Joint agreement promulgated
at Cincinnati last January, in which the
big leaguers handed out number OF

minor leagues. rumorS have broken out
that the American association will surely
the American association will surely
invade Chicago and that the two or
CARNATIONS have plans TO organize
powerful independent organization az
rival to organized baseball,
Nip Plans in Bud.
To nip these plans, the National and
American leagues lost no time in getting
together secretly and preparing for any
war that the minors may investigate. If
the present controversy should come TO
an issue the plans of the big leagucrs
will surely work a revolution in the
baseball world as well as upset condi
tions in minor league circles. In fact.
it is the biggest war move since the or
ganization of the American league, as
we'll as the famous Brotherhood squab-

To squash any move of the dis

more, Providence and either Newark or
Jersey City will be taken.
From these eight cities which are to
be taken the two major leagues will
divide the spoils, each club adding two
eastern and two western cities TO their
respective circuits. From past expert
ence twelve-club circuits have proved to
be burdensome affairs, but in case of
war such a course would operate in ia
vor of the two majors, while, on the
other hand, it would seriously cripple the
strength Of the two discontented minor
organizations.

In the eleventh lap. Chevrolet broke
a valve In cylinder in such n manner
that it could not be repaired, and he
was forced to run the rest Of the day
with three cylinders, which made his
performance all the more remarkable.
To offset this misfortune in measure,
the superior skill with which he and
his mechanician handled the oil cans
during stop at the repairing pits
gained him time of immense value later
in the day.
The race, which showed an average
of 1926 miles an hour, was unusually
slow for cars Of the 60.horsepower
class. The fact that the roadway at
the turns was literally cut to ribbons
by the almost continuous performance
of the two days racing, slowed down
the heavy motors to most unexpected
degree, and upset all calculations.
Probably the most serious affair of
the day occurred when Robertson s car
skidded at the head or the east stretch,
struck Theodore Mueller, the flagman
at that point, before he could leap aside
and broke his arm.
Altogether, during the entire day and
throughout the course, there were for.
ty-one cases, mostly of fainting and
heat prostration, treated at the emer-
gcncy hospital. None Of these promises

for the present, oral betting fills the
