For the second time this season, the

for once they got their eye on the ball

out Errors on the part OF the wish
tors helped in the run making, and
for a while it hooked like a merry-go-
around the bases
Doty pitched good hall for Lancas-
ter at spells, but the poor support
accorded him at stages was enough
to make the best pitchers take to ava
ton. Singleton started the game for
Stanford, and while the visitors hit
him rather easy during the six innings
he officiated, he kept their bingles
well scattered, and their three runs
were all due to errors On the part OF
local fielders After the visitors had
scored twice in the sixth, Capt. Nc
Carly sent Embry to the firing line
in the seventh and he held the Garrar
lads runless during the rest of the
game and allowed them but one hit.
Mike Penny led the local lads in
batting, getting a home run, a single
and three Dagger out of five times up.
The other home run kids were McCar.
ty. Singleton, and Embry. Each was
presented with a handsome necktie by
that progressive gents furnisher II. j.
McRoberts, who has had a standing
offer of a necktie for home run and
a sodawater Tor each run made by
the Stanford players.
Stanford worked three of her substi.
tutes during the game and all showed
up nicely. None of the three got a
hit, but they swung well. Tom Cole

POINTS FOR MOTORISTS

Nearly every motorist has ex-
perienced the exasperating task
OF locating small punctures in in
ner tubes. The following sugges-
tons may serve to tighten his
trouble when he next meets with
such mishap.
In the first place the tube should
be examined carefully to determine
if the puncture is large enough to
be seen. If not Immediately visi-
BILE the perforation may be very
small, no larger than a needle
point and in this case it is much
harder to locate.
Initiate the tube slightly and
hold it near the ground. Very Of
ten if the road is dry the puncture
may be detected by the disturbance
of the dust by the escaping air.
If this test cannot be made or il
it does not discover the puncture,
present each portion of the tube to
your cheek until you can feel the
rush of escaping air These meth
DDS failing to locate the puncture
your only course is to immense the
tube in a pan of water, section by
section, and watch closely for air
bubbles. Where these bubbles
rise is the point of puncture.
Sometimes even the water test
will give no indication of a leak
yet when the tube is retitted and
inflated, the air pressure will again
decrease slowly. You may then be
practically sure that the trouble
starts near the nut at the base of
the valve. This is assuming that
all other valve parts are in good
condition, otherwise, when the
valve was immersed in water, bub-
bles would have indicated the leak.
An invisible leak of the nature do
scribed could be produced by
screwing the nut at the base Of the
valve too tightly, or not screwing
it tight enough.
In either case it is safer to re-
turn the tube to tho manufacturer.
for it is not likely that the motorist
can make satisfactory repair.
If no puncture is found in the
tube, it would be we'll to re-test the
valve. This can be done while the
tire is mounted on the wheel.
Simply turn the wheel until the
valve is pointing straight down
and immense the valve in glass
of water.
This is accomplished by raising
the glass until the valve is sub
merged. Ii bubbles rise to tho
surface of the water, examine the
rubber security disk at the bottom
of the cap and if this is damaged
fit new one in its place. II you
have no regular rubber disk, use
instead small leather washer or
one made of cloth smeared with
cement.

for the issue Of S7,5OO,OOO Of stock. BY
1908, due to various read1ustments, the

ISSUES REPORT ON
TOBACCO COMBINE
It Shows DISQUALIFICATION
and Initiation Of Values
to Swell Profits

Washington, D. c.. Sept 25.-Com-
missioner Of corporations Herbert
Knox Smith today submitted to the
president his report on the tobacco In
dustry. Accompanying the report Is
q letter Of submittal which practically
is a summary Of his findings and
shows the vast earning power that
arises from substantial control Of q
large industry. The great tobacco com
biuatiOn, which centers around une
American Tobacco company, started in
1880 with S25,OO0,00O capitalization. op-
Grating only in cigarets. By 1908 it
controlled about fOur-fifths Of the
whole domestic tobacco industry, except
cigars, and its net capitalization exceed
ed S316, 600 0O0 This concentration IS
the basis OF the combinations great
earning power. High rates Of earnings
have gone with mOnOpOlistic control Of
the industry. and the less the degree
Of control the less the rate.
The commissioner says:
'In 1890 the combinations earnings
were over is per cent on the actual in
vestment They rose in 1891 to more
than q per cent 1t was then operat-
