BY HARRY WARD.

The interesting news has reached
Washington that the model L Midland
car, which IS to be used as a pilot-con-
fetti car IN the Frank A. Munsey re-
liability tour, left the Midland factory
in East Moline, H., Saturday and will
be driven over the road TO Washington
by way of Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Rochester, Albany, New York, PhiladeI-
phia, and Baltimore. Inc car, which IS
equipped with a toy tonneau body, is
being driven by d. c. Johnson, one of
the Midland factory experts, who VIII
be at the wheel Of the machine when
II starts out TO scatter the confetti
along the route Of the Munsey tour.
AS this is the frs 1919 Midland car
to be turned out by the factory, the en-
terprising men at the head OF that
flOurishing esta blishment have decided
that it would be an excellent plan to
show the car IN the different cities en-
route from Moline to Washington. In
this way the agents Of the Midland
and those who may wish to become
agents, can set good line on the new
car.
1t is interesting to note In passing
that this particular Midland car has al
ready been driven something like 6,T3
miles and is running as smoothly and
evenly as when IL was first turned out
Of the factory. The distance from Mo-
line to Washington, according to the
route laid out, is about 1900 miles so
that the Midland will have been driven
nearly 5000 miles before il begins the
work of scattering confetti along the
Munsey tour route. Lawrence d. Engel,
OF Washington, will have charge OF the
work of scattering the confetti
The Mitchell car, which Walter Cram,
the Philadelphia agent for that machine,
viii drive in the Munsey tour, will be
driven over the road from the Mitchell
factory, in Racine, to Philadelphia,
where II will be exhibited "A few days
before being sent to Washington.

Rupture Between Owner and

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Jockey Joe

arrival in Europe what is called an
artistic temperament could not get

About three weeks ago the rupture in
the business relationship came. Notter

claim AS soon as he received the
money he started, accompanied by his
father, on a tour Of the Continent
Miller, who was riding in Belgium at
the time, was wired for by Walker and
engaged to pilot Weinburg's horses.

mission an authoritative position. Good
derived from the establishment OF this
commission several years ago is every
where apparent and It stands TO reason
that by continuing in office q thoroughly
competent body and giving IL entire
control, more success would follow. A
canvass of nearly all the men who are
prominent in promoting baseball about
the city shows that they favor the pro-
posed change, not because IL takes a
rev dollars out of the reach OF some
Few players. but because 1t would help
aT1ateuTism.
Don't Pay Players.
Acting in an official capacity as pres
ident of the amateur comm ssion, Z. w.
Bolgiano. when interviewed on the sub
Ject, was somewhat reticent about Civ
ing his views, but expressing his opinion
as an ordinary fan, he spoke in this
wise:
I think that all faint or professional
ism should be wiped out AS long as it
remains there will be room for COM
plant. do not think that any of the
boys on our rolls would quit simply be-
cause the monetary attraction had been
removed and it would give US a much
cleaner condition.
Personally, 1 consider It a worthy
FACULTY TO be efficient enough TO receive
money for playing ball, but in an anna
teur league, absolutely no. To harbor
pros III an amateur league is not fair TO
the other men, and If a movement is
started against il ] shall certainly take
sides with the refOrmers. Another thing
which has caused me considerable trou-
Die since taking charge Of the amateur
commits sion is the constant jumping of
the various players from one league to
ped.
Abolish Jumping.
with eight leagues operating in the
city, 1 don't think it wise to attempt to
confine a player TO one team. Ny So
luton is 10 make the player sign at the
beginning of the season with the team
or teams he wishes to play with. and
then hold him TO his contract This
would abolish all that docking to the
winners and help make the races in the
leagues a deal more even. L am also
strong for an authoritative amateur
commission. whether / myself am an
active member or not"
Several other well known followers of
the amateur game have ideas something
Ike Mr.. Bolgiano's. One OF these men
has this to say:
Let the rules Of the National Com
mission govern bossban here. They will
very nearly cover everything that is
likely TO arise. The proposition TO make
man sign and play with a team is a
good one. Cut out the post season series.
or, Il continued, take the returns from II
and pay a recorder 10 keep track of ev-
cry player in the leagues where he
rightfully belongs, and so forth In
case Of a player jumping have your re-
corder suspend him for a period long
enough 70 impress the wrongfulness of
his action clearly upon HIS mind. I think
these changes would better the situa-
ton"

Indian Policeman
Seriously Cut by
Drunken Mexican

Charles Escalante, an Indian police
man on the reservation, was stabbed
by a drunken Mexican at the Califor-
MA end of the railroad bridge Tuesday
night and is not expected to live. y
fight started among IL bunch of section
hands and Policeman Escalante inter-
fered and tried to stop the fight, when
they turned on him. One Mexican at
tackled and held the policeman while
another slashed him with knife, enc
ofsthe stabs rene tIating the intestines.
The officer had a gun, and of course
would have been justified in shooting
his assail"nts, but did not. AS the
Mexicans fed, he fired two shots in
quick succession, which is the distress
signal among the reservation police
men, and relief was soon at hand
A little later three Mexicaus were
arrested at the government camp, aud
one of them is believed to have done
the cutting. This is California affair
and is in the hands of the Imperial
county officers.
The wounded Indian is under The
care Of DR.. Pugh, who thought an OPP
Grafton advisable. EscaIante posi-
tiyely.refused tn submit to the opera

all of which we would regret very
much. Yours truly,
