HERR WINS BANNER EVENT
 SETTING ELGIN TRACK RECORD

Elgin, Ill. August 25.-Thirty thousand spectators today witnessed the making of new automobile road records over the Elsin course Eighteen machines started in the three events, any one of them a severe test for a car, and all but five finished. Of these there were three run ming well when they were called off the course The winners were:
 Illinois cup, 203 miles, Donald Herr, Ma tlonal.
 Kane county cup. 16s miles. Hugh Hughes, Mercer.
 Aurora cup. 1s5 miles. Mortimer Rob- erts, Abbott-Detroit.
 Herr's average was 65.6 miles per hour; Hughes was 63.4 miles and Roberts 5S.5 miles.
 The races were remarkable for the ab- sence of tire trouble. Few pneumatics ingly well behaved, and the ordinarily busy mechanics in the pits spent an idle day
 The race finishes were replete with thrills Two Nationals fought it out for first and second positions in the Illinois cup at 203 miles and finished nine seconds apart Two velie cars were the only other entrants In this event.
 Two Merce rcars in field of Il finished two minutes apart for win and place in tko- Kane county cup race. There were many brushes for position among other ears which maintained a steady level of

 President Baugh did not cast vote on the proposition. He thought that he had time enough to vote in the negative, and procrastination caused the counting Of of the votes before his wish reached head quarters Hesman voted for Frank. So did Coleman of Memphis. The correspond ent of The Age-Herald wires from Mont- gomery that as President Jones is away on bushes strip he cannot learn how Montgomery voted Returns from Nash vile and Chattanooga have not been re- oeived.
 New Orleans and Mobile of course were favorably disposed to the transfer In his letter urging permission to trans fer the games, President Hervey stated that Frank had offered fattering induce ments Heryey is after the money in his instance, it is evident, and Frank is after the pennant.
 The sporting element is freezing to death.
 Inasmuch as the precedent has been set, we would advise the transference of the Atlanta. Mobile and Montgomery ty that the monetary harvest would be more luxurious in Birmingham than in both the other Alabama towns combined. And if this precedent is adhered to for ever and a day, 1t is ridiculous to permit any clubs to play games out of Bir- mfngham, New Orleans. Atlanta and pos sibly Memphis and Chattanooga.

"Fuzzy" Woodruff in the Atlanta Con- stitution, breaches President Kavanaugh out of the party because the president an- nonnced the transference of games sehed- uled to be played in Mobile to New Or leans.
 The fact should have penetrated the mind of that versatile scribe that Judge Kavanaugh has no authority to transfer a series of games, and that such cannot occur unless six of the eight clubs vote favorably.
 As matter of fact, inasmuch as the series will be played in New Orleans, six of the clubs expressed themselves as be- ing willing. This removes any blame from the environ of the president.
 But thls is not the best joke of Fuzzy"
 By using the telephone he could have found that President Heisman of the At lanta club used his influence in aiding Frank to win the pennant. Yes, Heis- man voted for the continued prosperity of Frank, although, if we are not mistaken, Heisman has always been one of the ness in the charmed circle of the Kav- anaugh circuit. Just why he should have voted favorably is a matter of wonder. He will state when questioned that Mo- bile is poor in a financial sense. and that his sympathy was aroused. But he ob- viously overlooked the fact that the transferenee of baseball games suggests

 The Ladies Home Journal--don't laugh Is waging q campaign against the sport. Their henchman-that is, the man whom they have paid to do the writins--is Dr. Morris Joseph Clurman.
 (Has there ever been a trenchant anti football diatribe penned, the author of which did not desire to impress with the title ,"Doctor?')
 Well. Doc Clurman is at it. He is fighting hard. He is in earnest He is not endeavoring to filch a bunch of coin from a magazine which caters to the gentler portion of humanity. No. The '.doc' is in earnest. He really believes for there are men who do such things who really believe in themselves-that he will accomplish much good. He writes as if ladies have digested hia rsmarks con- cerning football. that the great sport which holds enthralled large percent age of our population. will disappear like the frogstool in a night. or the cobweb before the industrious broom of a Bridget.
 It Is unnecessary to tell the people just what the estimable old fossil says against the sport. Other estimable old fossils have spoken ere this.

 The fastest time for a lap, miles, 2494 feet. made in 07:52 last year by Al Livingstone in a National. was low cred today by Herr. also a National driver, to :07:15, which is at the rate Of about 70 miles an hour. Hugh Hughes, in Mercer. turned the trick in :07.4o.
 Herr started in first place in the Illi- nois cup and held 1t throughout, but at the rate Merz was going at the end of another lap he probably would have won the race. Stickney ran a plucky and speedy race, but lost three laps at the pit with engine trouble.
 Hughes, winner of the Kane county cup, started fourth among eleven cars but 1t took him only B miles to gain the lead. which he held to the end.

 Kent and Britton were on the mound ard both were liberal with passes and hits in the early spasms of the game. For about five innings not side came to bat without getting men on bases galore but the pitchers always frightened up sufficiently to prevent scores.
 The first Birmingham score was made on fielding misplay and the first At lanta score in the same way. Times were many when men were sticking the bases and not hit could be secured to bring them in. Birmingham forged on to the front the second inning
 Yantz led off with three sacker to O,Dell and scored on a wild pitch. At- lanta tied it up in her half of the third. Britton singled and Watson sent him to second with hit Then Beumiller sac rifced him. Elliott thre badly to sec end to catch the runner off and Britton came home.

Some hitting for Yantz. Ellam went out to the infield. Kent hit to Beumiller and Yantz came home on the play Atlanta got two in the eighth. Johns singled and Beumiller forced him.
