DIG UP OLD UNUSED LAW
IN MISS0URI'S STATUTES

An old and unused law on the statute
books of Missouri, requiring that road
overseers shall erect and keep standing
fingerboards or signboards at all
principal crossroads, has been resur-
rected by the good roads committee of
the ST. Joseph (Mo) Automobile club.
The existence of this laT has been
called to the attention of the Buchan-
an county court, and its execution
there and in all parts of the state is
hoped for by the motorists of St. Joseph
and vicinity. The officials have issued
instructions to the highWar commits
sioners to see that road overseers OBJ
serve the mandates of the statute.
The law reads as follows: Every
oVerseer shall erect and keep post
at every fork or crossroad in hsi dis
trict that would likely mislead, to
which shall be affixed a fngerboard
containing a legible inscription direct
ing the way and denoting the distance
to the next important place on the road,
for which he shall be allowed not more
than 81, And it shall be the duty of
every oyerseer to keep all roads in his
district clear of all distractions and
cause to be cut down and removed, be-
tween the 18th of July and the 18th of
August of each year all weeds or other
distractions calculated to impede or in
terrupt travel thereon"

WISCONSIN VARSITY
TO PLAY JAPANESE
Baseball Team Takes Longest Journey
on Record to Meet Team of
kei=o University at
Toxic

MADISON, Wis, Aug. 2S.-The Uni
versity of Wisconsin baseball team
left here recently for Japan, where it
during the latter part of next month
with Kei-o University of Toxic. The
team is in charge Of Dr. Charles Nc
Carthy, the famous football coach and
gridiron officer, who will act as fac
ulty representative. This is the longest
trip that an American college baseball
team has ever undertaken.
There is little feeling of confidence
among the Wisconsin students as to
the outcome of the games. Kei-o uni
versity is reported to have a strong
team that continually defeats teams
made up of men from United States
Warships Yet the fact that Wiscon-
sin has been selected by the Japanese
authorities as the team to make the
trip gives great pleasure here.
An interesting trip is what is eX-
pected. There have been many Jap
anese students at Wisconsin and many
have received their doctors degrees
here. OF these Professor Reinsch is in
correspondence with several and he
himself viii go to Japan this fall to
study Oriental politics. He has re-
ceived considerable information about
the Kei-o ball games and reports that
the Wisconsin team may expect to play
before 100000 persons at some of the
games. This will probably. be some-
thing that no college athletic team of
any kind has ever done before.
Despite the fact that such large
crowds attend ball games over there,
Kei-o university was able to guaran-
tee only the actual expenses of six
teen men. This is due to the fact that
the price of admission is very small,
and with probably a million persons
seeing the ten games that will be
played, the authorities of the univer-
sity expect to receive only from $500
to $4,000 The latter figure will just
about cover the Wisconsin teams ex-
penses and $1,000 has been advanced by
the Wisconsin alumni.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Classing
to look more and more every day, as
though the worlds championship base
ball series will be contested for the
first time under existing conditions this
year between teams representing the
east and west. In 1903 Pittsburg and
Boston fought out the championship,
Boston winning. That series, however,
was not arranged by the national COM
mission, but by the club owners them
selves. In 1904 came the miX-up be-
tween Boston and the Giants, which
resulted in the refusal of the Giants
to play the series. Then the national
commission stepped in and took charge
of the championship games. In 1905
it was the Giants and Athletics, while
in 1906 the two Chicago clubs clashed.
the White Sox winning. In 1907 and
1907 1t was the Tigers and Cubs and
the Cubs being victors both times
This year it looks like Pittsburg and
either Philadelphia or Boston. Detroit
may come through again, but 1t looks
rather doubtful, especially as they wind
up the season away from home. Com
mencing on September 16 the Tigers
start an eastern trip that lasts until
October l, fifteen games being played.
In that time they will have to meet
both Philadelphia and Boston.
From this it can be seen that De-
troit has a mighty hard row to hoe
for the rest of the season and makes
either Philadelphia or Boston look like
the more logical winner of the cham
pionship. If Detroit is beaten it will
mean an east and west series for tho
biggest honor in baseball. The one
best bet right now is that Pennsylvania
will be the scene of all the worlds
games of 1909, with Phil
adelphia and Pittsburg as the con-
fastantS

has not been up to par along the coast,
~ but anglers have had better results
~ along the south side than have been
achieved the west coast.
At Balboa croaker and bass have been
caught freely, and surf and yellowin have
rewarded the late angler. Large numbers of
surf fish have been caught at Huntington
Beach, especially off the wave motor pier
and the fish have been weighed in at from
So down to So pounds. Yellowfln in large
sizes have been taken also.
Sunset Beach and Bay City have not been
far behind.
Small fry. such as herring. sardines smelt.
mackerel and perch, have attracted the fisher
men along the west coast all week. but the
surf and yellowfn, while caught on some days.
have been noticeable by their absence. Along
both coasts these gamy fish have been taken
only at or after sundown. no matter what the

NO BOOKMAKERS IN
FRENCH BETTING PLAN
New Laws of United States Bring Pc
culiar System Used in France Into
omnence-Attractive
Features

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-The new bet
ting laws in several Of our states have
brought into notice the French plan of
betting, which for some reason not very
clear to the average mind is supposed
to be q mild and improved manner of
placing a wager.
In the first place, the management
of the track assumes the whole respon-
| sibility of receiving and paying, and no
| bookmakers are in the game. There
are two sets of so-called machines, al
though the machinery consists simply
, in clerks and cOmputers-One for two
dollar bets and one for fiVe-dolar bets
and each for straight place and show.
Tickets are sold and handed out
When a horse wins all the straight
tickets sold are multiplied by the num-
Der five in the fiVe-dollar machine to
get the total of dollars there In the
two-dollar division the multiplication
of course is by two.
The amount in the pool obtained, the
calculator at once in the interest of the
association deducts per cent for profit
and expenses. The amount is then
divided by the number of tickets which
had been sold on what proved to be
the winner, and the payment for each
ticket Is the result.
A little mathematical cogitatiOn will
give light on the next process for place
and show horses, the only difference
being that the division into two or three
parts for distribution of the payments
Is necessary in distributing the pool
money. The house keeps all fractions
as we'll as its per cent, and when
dead heats are run the money is di-
vided in a way which makes provision
for the extra horse sharing in the first
position.
Among the absurdities of the pari-
mutuel system is the fact that if only
straight tickets were sold and they all
were on the winner the bettor would
not win anything, but would get back
his money, less the percentage and the
fractions. This could hardly be pos
sible condition of race, and the ma
chine men guard against too much
money coming on a prime faVorite by
cutting his name out of the card.
Another fact that is patent in this
as in all percentage games is that If
the play goes on long enough the per
sistent deduction of the 3 per cent will
eventually (and not so far distant) eat
I'm all the money on the ground not In
the hands of the machine owners.

with his daring second shots. It did
not matter which play club he used
sometimes the brassey. sometimes the
driver, according to the lie, and as I
general thing the ball would go
straight to the green. At that time
Vardon made use of light clubs with
wee heeds," as the Scotch would say,
and his trick of getting home with a
200yard shot was the more remarka-
BILE then for the reason that the greens,
especially in this country, were not
nearly so large as nowadays.
Even in these advanced times the
best of golfers shrink from using wood
for a full shot to the green, especially
when the hole is well guarded. That IS
why so many golfers invariably take
out the cleek, and. after ALL with the
rubber-cored balls, which travel almost
as far off the cleek as the brassey, and
a deal straighter as a general thing,
it is quite likely that the cautious pol
icy is the one that pays in the long
run.
