GLIDDEN TOUR SHOWS
NEED OF BETTER ROADS

The need OF better roads Is the lesson
of the Glidden Tour OF this year and the
tire expenses In the contest are an argu-
ment TO the automobile owner 10 pay his
share for them chcerfuliy and save money
on tire bills. This Is the statement made
by The Diamond Rubber Company whose
annual analysis OF the tire cost Of the
trip is published to-day. Various items
show the result OF travelling over the
rocky trails and gully-ribbed roads which
for great distances the tourists encounter
cd The average tire cost per car. taking
into account an machines in the trip. The
Diamond Company states, was $3.50. The
record Of the 10 cars which used Diamond
Tires. It Is announced, was S26.M Tho
average of a thousand service reports on
the Diamond product in regular work Is
considerably less than this. because the
general average Of roads is better than the
Glidden route afforded.
In addition 10 the 10 sets Of Diamond
Tires I'm use there were "a other sets OF
tires six different makes being represent
Ell; but n The reports OF the Diamond tiro
observers all tires Of every makes used,
are included. Az tires did not figure in
the official scores. however, there being
no pcnalty Of any kind for tire changes
or repairs the whole Diamond report is
placed on a dollars and cents basis In
view Of the conflicting claims made every
year. also. regarding tire service In the
tour The Diamond Rubber Company an
nounced the victory of its product under
the significant heading. "rhe Whole Truth
Regarding Glidden Tour Tire Results.

place in the hearts OF the American base
ball public that has. been achieved by
very few OF the diamond stars. His bril-
liant playing and kindly disposition made
friends for his team as we'll as for him
self. Twenty years ago he was q prom
ising youngster on the Kansas city team.
where his ability was so pronounced as
to indicate that he would one day become
the greatest of all shortstops lie was
member of the Boston Nationals under
Frank Selee, the club which captured five
national championships I'm the following
years: 1891, 1892 1897 and 1895 In 1902 he
led tho shortstops Of America with field
ing average Of .327 In iO6 games IN 1897.
