AUTOMOBILE A NECESSITY

Chancellor Strong of the University
of Kansas is quoted as saying that SC
much money has been made in the west
during the last ten years, and so much
of it has been given to the boy, pre-
sumably the farmers son, ''that he
has desired to live pretty well, and
some of them (the boys) have craved
and have had motor cars, can OF
this, adds the chancellor, ''has a ten.
dency to distract attention from stud
les, and we nave had some hard work
to combat the tendency Now as to
the western country boys father.
Secretary Wilson, on his return recent
ly from a month s vacation on his farm
in Iowa, when asked if it were really
true that farmers were investing such
larg sums of money in automobiles, re-
piled: "The farmer is out of debt;
he has paid for his farm, his fences
and his machinery. He has money in
his pockets and big crops continue to
come on. He will not invest in eastern
securities, lest a year might bring
trouble there. As a result, he puts his
money in Injuries, instead of channels
that might give a return. Why, folks
in the east do not know what luxuries
are. They must 60 west to find that
out.'
Unless the country has been greatly
~misinformed by the bank commissioners
of Iowa and Kansas and other western
states, and by many other persons who
have taken up the subject at various
times during the last few years. Secre-
tary Wilson is very likely to be called
upon to modify some of these state
ments. We have been told, indeed, IN
til it is generally accepted as a fact,
that the western farmer is not only a
buyer of shares and bonds, but q
moneylender on a very extensive scale
Moreover, we have it on equally
good authority that, as a rule, the auto
mobile, far from being a luxury, has
become a necessity on the farm. Pres.
W. C. Brown, of the New York Central
railroad. after a visit TO his farm in
Iowa not long since, told how the farm
ers in the vicinity made money, in a V
ing time. by the use of the automobile.
1t win be recalled that in this connee-
ton he said that scores of automobiles
were then owned by farmers in his
neighborhood. and that many more
would be in use if the orders for them
could be filed. At a recent celebration
in q western agricultural community,
one hundred farmers automobiles were
in line.
There are instances, no doubt, and,
perhaps, many of them, where western
farmers indulge in the automobile, and
in other things, purely as luxnrise, but
speaking generally, the farm automo-
bile in these days is not n more of
a luxury than was the farm buggy
of q few years ago.

INDIAN WEARS: /: !:
SHRUbb 0UT

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Tom Long
boat, the Canadian Indian Mara
thon runner, won a victory over
Alfred Shrubb last night after the
Englishman had put up a game
race and seemed almost certain
to win. In the twenty-flfth mile
Shrubb collapsed and Longboat
finished the race alone. The In
dams time was 2:53:40:2.5, or
about eight minutes slower than
Dorando's time in the event.
Shrubb started off at a terrific
pace, running the first mile in
4:32. Longboat made no effort to
keep up with his opponent, but ran
easily and gradually fell back dur
ing the first few miles. He was
half a mile behind when Shrubb
reached the 10 mile mark. Shrubb
ran well but many predicted he
could not maintain his pace to
the end. 1t was not until the
twenty-second mile that he began
to tire. Then Longboat started in
to overtake his opponent and
gradually and surely cut down the
lead. The crowd was wild with
excitement. At the end Longboat
showed no sign of distress.

COAL MINER IS
A CORKER
GIVES WILLIAMSON A DIZZY
TIME IN CLUB BOUTS AT
SEATTLE, IN WHICH LATTER
CITY WAS GIVEN HONORS.

The Seattle Athletic club walk
ed off with honors last evening in
the Sound city by winning two out
of the four events, one bout result
ing in tie. The surprise of the
evening was the defeat of Lance
Williamson in the las boxing con-
test by Pete McVeigh, the young
coal miner whom Lonnie Austin
found in the nick of time. Out
weighed and having the disadvan-
tagetage of being smaller than his
opponent in every particular, the
Seattle man waded in and mixed
things in such a manner as to set
the crowd crazy. In the closing
round the milling was so hot that
the crowd surged into the ring and
carried off the victor before the
referees decision had been given.
The other bouts were less in
teresting. The wrestling bout be-
tween Venables and Gesek was
protracted affair and resulted in
draw, each man winning one bout,
while the third was a tie. Willie
Jessamore won over Nord in the
1875 pound boxing event, Jessamore
winning on points. Kincaid of Sc
attic won over Adams in the 125
pound wrestling match. Adams
took off 10 pounds and was handi-
capped by going out of his class

HIS PNEUDlA77 TIC BAT WAS GREAT
WHILE TLASTED

THE schemes framed to beat the
base ball rules are too numerous to
keep track Of" said Sport" Low
rey yesterday. Il have seen some
work for a short time, but the best
was detected sooner or later.
Il recall one, which, but for an
accident, might have been worked
for years. l was managing the
Yorks, and had an outfielder named
Mark Connolly, who was wonder
full fielder and fair hitter, but he
began to fall off, and ! told him
he'd have to get his eye back or
another man would take his place
the next year.
Next spring Connolly showed
up, bringing several bats and also
request that no one be permitted
to lay hands upon the sticks. Every
player has his fancies and | used
to humor them when possible, so I
assured Mark his clubs would be
held in violate. He thought so
much of the bats that he carried
them to and from the park, instead
of piling them into the bat bag.
When practice began Connolly
started singing the ball. He had
been vicious slugger, but his long
line hits surprised me- That it was
not flash in the pan was appar-
ent, as he continued to slam the
ball around the lot day after day.
In August he was leading the
league by 40 points.
In tight game, with two men
on and two gone. Connolly, after
looking over a couple, connected
with a high fast one that started
for the fence. The men on the
bases scored and Connolly slid over
the plate, beating the relay with
ease.
He was always doing this sort
of a thing and would have contin-
ued to, had not catcher picked up
a bat after Connolly singled. In
stead of throwing it tside, however,
the catcher checked the intention

BROWN ADDICTED
TO THE WEED

Manager Brown has a big list of
ball tossers signed up for the COM
ing season, but is still looking for
good material and hopes to secure
Fred Weed, an ex-Portland player,
who did big stunts with the Sioux
City team last season and helped
to win the pennant. Weed is re-
garded as fine utility man, and
is equally valuable on an inheld
or outfield station. Last year he
hit at .272 clip.
Fans in this neighborhood know
of Weed as he made good when
he played with Portland in 1901.
He is faster than ever, and is want
ed by every manager in the West
ern league. He is one Of the most
popular players in the Western
league, where he made friends
both through his playing and his
gentlemanly demeanor.

while his face broke into a grin as
he beckoned to the umpire.
You know the rules provide that
a bat must be round, not over two
and three-fourth inches at the
thickest part, nor more than AZ
inches in length and made entirely

wood, Connolly's bat wasn't.

NELSON NOW THE
CHAMPION OF B. E..

ROSSLAND, B. c., Feb. 6.-Nel-
son won the British Columbia
hockey championship last evening
by defeating Rossland in well
played game by a score of 10 to l..
The game was exciting from start
TO finish although the end was
never in doubt. The fine team
work of Nelson was too much for
the home team and Rossland was
completely outclassed.
w. H. Sherman won the snow
shoe race for the third time by de-
feating Otto Demuth. The victory
of Sherman gives him the Wells
cup permanently.
In the intermediate hockey game
for the championship Rossland
won over Nelson by a score of 4
to 0 in pretty game.

have fooled an expert. ....
Mark, as l said, had been get
ting weak in hitting, so he con-
ceived the idea that If he had a
pneumatic bat that could be in
creased in diameter instantly, he
could improve his hitting. And
that's just what he had secured.
BY squeezing the rubber grip as he
swung on the ball, the air ex-
banded the large end until it was
fully three and half inches in
diameter. You can appreciate how
much more of chance he then had
to hit the ball. AS soon as he
swung he released the bulb and the
bat resumed it's normal shape. 1t

have tumbled, but for the catchers

was under the impression that
when a player had two or three
marked in the E. (error) column he
had not played very good game.
Donahue told her she was not
far from wrong, as he never saw
any player carried off the field on
the shoulders of the crowd for
making errors.
Sometimes l have noticed
went on the fair enthusiast. that
the box score says some one stole
a base. Now, will you tell me
what stolen base is?"
Red" explained, and after show
ing just how this might be done,
was nearly dumbfounded at what
she explained was her version of a
theft of this kind.
20, my! l always thought a
stolen base different than that. I
thought that when a player hits
the ball and runs to first and sees
that the umpire is not looking, he
will cut right across the diamond
and go on to second.
Il always thought that when a
player did this and reached the
next base in safety it was what
they call a stolen base"
This was too much for Donohue,
and, raising his hat, he excused
himself and flew around the corner
to enjoy the laugh of his career.

That so many ladies have be-
come interested in base ball and
regularly attend the games, speaks
well for the manner in which the
great pastime is being conducted.
Naturally, when member of the
gentler sex becomes enamored with
the game, she wants to know all
about the different plays, and usu-
ally gets the desired knowledge by
asking questions.
Often her ideas of the different
plays are vague and some of the
questions asked are certainly
posers.

twirler, makes his home in Phila-
delphia.
A few days after Red" went
home at the close of the 1906 sea-
son he met fair maid who was an
ardent base ball enthusiast. The
conversation turned to the national
game, and as the young lady was of
an inquisitive turn of mind, she be-
gan to ply Red with questions.
She seemed particularly inter
ested in the box score of each days
game. This was an enigma to her,
