LATEST TYPE OF BASEBALL
Popular Mechanics)

From 1883 until last year very lit
tie, outside of minor changes, was
done in developing the baseball. The
league baseball used in this period
had a rubber center, and the yarn
wound around it was coated with
continuous layer of rubber cement,
The ball now used includes means
of preventing the inner yarn from
slipping away from the center of the
ball, and the substitution of cork for
rubber in the core. This core of cork
is covered with layer of rubber vul-
canized to a certain degree of hard
ness, and on this is wound the usual
yarn.
The cork makes possible more rig
i'd structure and more uniform resil-
iency. 1t is said to outlast the rubber
center balls many times over, be-
cause it will not soften or break In
spots under the most severe usage.

viii Work Be Commenced On The
lnteFurban

It is probable that the work of the
construction of the extension of the
present Columbus, Albany and Johns
town Traction Company by the Colum-
bus, Mt. Vernon and Mansfield Trac-
tion Company, which has taken over
the former road, will not be started
until next spring, although it has been
the hope of the men should the new
company that work would be started
on the extension this year
However, as in all matters of this
kind, unexpected delays are encoun-
tered and while the new company has
the financing for the extension practi-
cally arranged for it will take some
time to complete maps let contracts
and do other preliminary matters in
connection with the new road. 1t will
rebuild to Johnstown, thence to Mt.
Vernon and then to Mansfield, where
it will connect with the lines of the
Cleveland, Southwestern and Column
bus, thus giving direct electric route
between Columbus and Cleveland

The most important religious event
of the season is the Muskingum Con-
ference of the Methodist Protestant
church, which will be held at the
Conference Memorial church, West
Main street from September l to the
5th inclusive. Dr. G. H. Beck of West
Lafayette is the conference president
and will preside at all it's sessions. 1t
was through the instrumentality of
this conference that GAINESVILLE was
so fortunate as to secure so fine a
church edifice for the Methodist Prot
estant congregation, as the ministers
themselves pledged more than $4,000
of it's cost with the provision that the
conference should have the privilege
of holding all it's sessions there.
The Rev. D. G.. Coburn, pastor in
charge, looked after the local financial
end and did it so thoroughly that the
church was built without undue sacri-
flee upon the part of any one. The
conference sessions are attended by
members of other denominations, who
enjoy the rare treat afforded in the
lectures and sermons.

that the patronage will grow daily

ize that the 1910 program is far bet

The special attraction for Tuesday

yet nicely balanced throughout, and
the applause that followed each num-
ber indicated that the people were
mighty well pleased.

On Tuesday evening the Cleveland

AUTOS
Make Good Time On Run To
Toledo

Toledo, O., July 27-Cleveland con-
testants in the three-day reliability
run of the Cleveland Automobile Club
and the Cleveland News, which start
ed from Cleveland Monday morning,
had comparatively easy time of it
today With few grades, no sand and
many miles of macadam and pike, the
tourists arrived at this control without
difficulty. No final scores will be an
nounced until the tourists arrive at
Cleveland. The vanguard of the tour
will reach the Hollenden Hotel at
about $50 o'clock.
Despite the easy going there is
much dissatisfaction owing to the
statement published in Columbus this
morning that although supposed to be
under guard, the tourists drove their
cars about town in the evening. This
every tourist denies. Willis Stutson
of the White Company, Cleveland, who
represents the American Automobile
Association on the run, will take up
the matter officially upon his return
home.
The only car known to be on the
streets last night was the Chalmers
official car, which is not contestant,
and it, with the Oldsmobile Mudlark
and other non-contestants have right
to the streets after checking time.
