 This was a regular scheduled game. Eleven innings were played, the score resulting in a tie of to 6. It was not called or postponed game Now the question is how would this game figure in making up the percentage of the teams or would the game be played over according to Southern league Iules."
 According to the rules of the game mo game" shall be declared by the umpire if play Is terminated in &C., cordance with rule 22. section 8. which provides: If the game be called by the umpire on account of darkness, rain. fire. panic or for any other cause which puts patrons or players at peril"
 The sporting editor presumes that the Jasper game referred to was terminal te q on account of darkness. If, however, the game was stopped by agreement and both teams had an equal number of times at the bat and a tie resulted.

seconds better than the previous worlds record made by Demogeot of Paris upon the Daytona track in 1906. Thirty min utes later Oldfeld drove against the worlds kilometer record of 17.7s seconds made by Hemery on the Brooklands, Eng land, track. oldfield shot past the start ing line like a meteor and finished the distance in 17:04
 The third record established was the one mile stock chassis mark of 40;s5 in a Knox. The previous record was set by Lewis StraRg in a Fiat, 46:S0
 Although David Bruce Brown, Walter Christie. George Robinson, Ben Kirscher and number of other well-known drivers with fast cars participated in today's races, Oldheld swept all before him with hurricane of speed and daring that proved that the old-time racer is bet ter than ever. The consistency of Old fields work with his giant Benz shows that no luke can be held responsible for his great mile record last week.
 Oldfeld will go for the mile record to- morrow and promises a mile at the rate of 40 miles on hour. While Oldheld won today in the mile worlds championshp event it was evident that the champion was only toying with his competitor, George Robertson, who drove the Christie car, and was not trying to get the very best speed out of his Benz.
