-FOUR RACES SURE
ON ELG|N COURSE

That all four events will be run at
Elgin during the Automobile associa-
TONS stock chassis races on Friday
and Saturday was assured yesterday
when A. NJ. Robbins. president of the
Centaur Motor company, entered a sec
ond Ahott-Detroit in the Aurora cup
race to be run on the opening day. Up
to yesterday one Ford and one Abbott
DETROIT had been nominated, and as
the rules require that at least three
must compete in order to constitute a
race, the prospects for the event We're
dubious. Now that the Aurora event is
fried, officials of the Chicago Motor
club expect keen competition between
the little cars.
A surprise was sprung on the officials
when 1t was seen that Mr.. Robbins had
named himself as driver of tn- aodi-
tionaf ear. Mr.. Robbins has had no
previous racing experience. and as he is
an amateur his premiere on the racin &
circuit will be watched with interest.
He will compete against Mortimer
Roberts in the other Abbott-Detroit
and Frank Kulick in the Ford. Both of
these drivers are veterans at the game.
While Mr.. Robbins will have his first
try at the racing game he is not en-
tirely without experience in contest
work. as he gained fame a clever
driver in the Glidden.

BROWN GETS RETURN BOUT
WITH LEWIS IN NEW YORK

Chicago's wildman boxer. Greek
Brown, is TO get another chance to
prove to New Workers. that he is of
championship caliber In the middle
weight division. Brown, who carries
around the monicker of Knockout, was
rematched yesterday for a ten round
tilt with Willie Lewis. whom he fought
last week.
Various reports OF the battle came
out of New York. Such is usually the
case in the no decision bouts staged in
the east According to the New York
critics the worst that could have been
given the Chicago boxer was a draw.
Some admitted that the veteran Lewis
showed fear of Browns rus hing style
of battling and did not make a good
showing until the last three rounds.
Brown fioored his man in the ninth ses-
sion, and although he did not display
any cleverness that~could be compared
with that of Lewis, at the end he was
far the freshers and would have been
the winner by the Knockout route had
the affair gone another ten rounds.
Nate Lewis who is looking after
Browns interests, says that it was the
next thing to robbery to call the bout
draw. He declares that Brown won
practically every round and did all the
fighting there was. and will surely de-

feat Lewis in the coming engagement.
Brown and Lewis are to take their
second trip over the ten round route at
the Twentieth Century A c. in New
York August IS. If the Greek boxer
wins the go he will go after Papke
and the best of the boys in the middle
weight division.
Billy Papke will be seen in action
tonight for the first time since he re-
turned from his tour of the world He
is to take on Sailor Burke, who can
not be considered seriously in the mid
dleweight division, In ten round af-
fair at New York. Papke has defeated
Burke in the past, so tonights engage
ment will serve to give line on the
present form the the "Thunderbolt" as
compared with the skill that was his
before he went to Australia and suf-
fered defeats at the hands of both
Dave Smith and Thompson. Billy's en-
gagement with Burke. he says. will be
but the starting point of a campaign
which he hopes will settle any doubt
there may be as to his right to claim
the middleweight championship. He
plans to take on Kelly, Klaus, Houck,
Thomps and all the other good boys
in his division and endeavor to make
himself the undisputed champion by
slowing them all away.

1t was the same Becker who let the

Comiskeyfs men to find out his first

then dropping out again and return
ing at eventide to announce that he had
beaten the closed season for buying
baseball players by 56 minutes, at the

Cubs boss closed a deal with the Mon
treal club of the Eastern league for
Ward Miller. the sensational and
speedy outfielder who is batting some
where near $50 and stealing a base
every few minutes.
If the deal hadn't been closed by 8
o'clock Miller would have been In line
for drafting. Murphy knew every club
in both big leagues would put in a
draft for the star, so decided the only
way to get him by purchase or
trade. A proposition for trade hal
been submitted to the Cubs leader and
he accepted it. 1t involves three play
ers, now members of the Cubs. who will
go to Montreal in exchange for Miller.
but Murphy did not give out the names,
Miller will not join the CUBS until late

WHEN DOCrORs DIsAGREE.

Some days ago attention was called
in this column to varying causes be-
ing assigned for the business depres-
sion that has been apparent Henry
Clews in his Financial Review, dealing
with this phase of trade. says they
are numerous enough to cause amuse-
ment were it not for the serious con-
sequences involved.
/ The majority of opinions are based
upon conditions with which their au-
thors are chiefly familiar. Some blame
Mr. Roosevelt. some hold President
Taft responsible, others Mr.. Wicker
sham Some say politics, others say
too much speculation is at the bot
tom of present difficulties. Some
blame the tariff. others the antitrust
law. Some say high prices are respon-
sible others partial crop failures. A
few say too many securities. many say
too much initiation. At one time the
Mexican difficulty was blamed, at an
other the supreme court decisions:
still later. the Moroccan crisis proved
the most popular explanation for our
troubles, but even that has temporarily
disappeared without leaving CORE
spending Improvement
His own opinion is set forth as fol-
lows:
THE truth is all of these explana-
tions have contributed to the decline
in Wall street values, though after all
they are but part of the phenomena
connected with a general trade reac-
ton following the worldwide boom
which seemed to eliminate this mid
summer. Perhaps the Moroccan incl
dent merely set off the trigger and
marked the turn; but experienced
judgment certainly believes that the
present reaction is far too general and
far too persistent to be explained by
merely local or temporary incidents.
Possibly we are moving down hill to-
ward safer and more stable levels. In
such movement there is no cause for
uneasiness, unless the decline comes so
rapidly and suddenly as to make pre-
paredness impossible. Ultimately, such
an adjustment will be beneficial
Steel products. textiles. cotton, build
ing materials, rubber and other articles
are declining.
IF this downward movement con
tinues it will certainly lead to that
much desired end, a reduced cost of
living. Prosperity, it should be said,
can be found on declining commodity
markets as well as upon advancing
markets, but the winning of success
under such conditions depends upon
intelligent and prompt adjustment to
changed conditions"

in revealing an increase in the small
