add word in behalf of the ladies

many Of our ladies who would enjoy
the privilege of a spin on an indoor
track in a tempered atmosphere, if
the spin could be followed by a rest
in warming room and later by the
shower bath. They would appreciate
the privilege Of other exercise if the
track did not appeal, and they would
be satisfied with two mornings each
week.
On Saturday mornings, the room
could be given over to the smaller
children. The afternoons and eve.
nings could be devoted to indoor base
ball, basket ball, hand ball and other
games and space should be ample for
the convenient installation of gymna-
SUM paraphernalia, along the walls
and out of the way, (but this only for
incidental use) because, in order to
make a gymnasium interesting, it is
necessary to have contests and
games.
There should be a hot room with &C.
comodation for half dozen at time,
and radiation sufficient to raise the
temperature to $50 Fahrenheit, if de-
sired. There should be three or four
showers with possibility for privacy

HOOsier Race Makes
Great Hit Abroad
Flood Of Foreign Entries Expected in
Great Event-Representative
:, A,rofu4od

NEW YORK, Nov 2s.-It is expected that
a flood of foreign entries will be received
for the bO0-mile race to be held at the
Indianapolis motor speedway on May n,
1911. The unusual interest displayed by the
European manufacturers in the contest
that will carry $4,000 has led the manage
ment of the Hoosier course to appoint
representative in Berlin. He is r. s. Nc
Elwee, an American engineer.
In letter to the speedway management
MacBlwes explains that unusual interest
is being shown in motor racing by the
European manufacturers. Aside from the
small car. or voiturettes, there have been
no contests of any significance in Europe
for the last few years This dearth OF
speed competition was due to the makers
Of the larger cars signing an agreement to
withdraw from the expensive sport.
The success Of the light car races. how
ever. and the increasing popularity Of speed
contests both In Europe and America have
sounded the knell OF the old agreement
apparently, and Europe is anticipating a
big race at home in 1911. For this reason
the makers are more than willing to build
special cars to compete in the speedway
International sweepstakes and other Amer
lean events.
MacBlwes reports that several firms
prominent In the racing game on the con-
tinent, but which have not competed in
America, are seriously entertaining the
proposition OF coming to the Indianapolis
speedway for the big races. The $4,000
first prize which Will doubtless be aug
mented by other cash from accessory firms
is a magnet which no company or driver
will overlook If he has ever considered the
racing game at all.
II Is TO these new firms MacKawes will
be expected to render special service. II
will be his duty to give them information
regarding transportation, American Auto
mobile association regulations. under which
they must compete; American motor racing
conditions In general and other data to
guide them in a successful campaign.
The response to the entry blanks sent
directly abroad from the Indianapolis
speedway offices and che report made by
MacElwee encourages the local race pro-
moters to believe that they will have a
| good field Of foreign contenders for the
internatlonl.
This race is open to cam Of 600 cubic
| inches piston displacement or under. Each
car is required to show a speed OF seventy
five miles per hour before It is allowed to
compete. The entry fee for each car Is
500 until March /. 1911. After March
and until May / the entry fee will be raised
10 $50 per car. The management reserves
the right to cancel the contest unless thirty
entries are received. From present indi-
cations, however, a number in excess of
thirty starters will be listed, and II is
more than likely that wedding out proc
ess will have to be made in order to have
a field that can be handled.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Cuba is making
such rapid progress in base ball that it is
now only a question Of a few years be-
fore the big leagues will have to defend
the so-called worlds title against a team
representing the island
The Detroit team, and that means the
regular lineup that went through the re-
cent pennant fight, is now playing a series
in Havana, and they haven't been making
a clean sweep either. The other day they
were beaten in an eleven inning game by
a score Of to 1.
Some time next week the Athletics will
win start a campaign in Cuba with its
regular lineup, and the team that so easily
whipped the Cubs are not going to take
all the games from the champions Of Ha-
vana.
The Cubans are paying enormous sums
OF money to get the best teams in the
country to play in Havana and the con-
tracts that have been signed become void
II the Americans fail to play their hardest.
But this was hardly necessary. The De-
troitS have been put to the severest test
to win the few games that have come
their way thus far and the Athletics will
have TO play at the same speed that marked
their work in the worlds series to get
They stand for no hippodroming on the
island. Several picked teams from the
United States visited Cuba during the past
four years, and they had trouble getting
the money their contracts called for. In
one case the players had 20 flee for fear
of arrest just because they tried to hippo
drome the series.
Papers Boost Game.
The newspapers OF Cuba devote a large
amount OF space to the national game. The
best Illustration OF the interest In base ball
on the island was last month. when every
paper sent a special representative to this

invited to Join the combine. Its purpose
is TO simplify somewhat intercollegiate

is in danger Of being enlarged and beoom-
ing too cumbersome. The Nebraska Inter

Two new members, Central college and
Wayne Normal, have indicated q desire
to join and their application will doubtless
be granted.
With so large an organization Il would
be manifestly difficult to arrange anything
like equal schedules that would decide the
state championship. The new scheme,
which was suggested By Captain Bill Luke
Of Doane, win give an opportunity for the
four largest colleges to decide the cham

their schedules by seltbIng from among
