THE AMERICAN ISSUE
Automobiles from Another
Point Of View

The man who has too much of one
thing has too little of another Ger
tainly the man who has too much con-
cet has too little modesty, and the man
who has too much poverty has too little
riches and it is often true that the man
who has too much wealth has too little
health. Many people go to Europe in
search of health. Most of them lost
health trying to make enough to get to
Europe. And so with the automobile.
People that have too much automobile
are apt to have too little exercise.
The automobile is surely luxury A
man who knows made a conservative
estimate that the upkeep of an auto
mobile averages at least eight dollars a
week. To many people this expense is
not, however, great burden, and where
it does strain the purse bit, the fact
that it enables the owner to have COM
fort, pleasure and rest, makes up for
the financial pressure. However, the
automobile has, generally speaking, one
harmful influence upon owners, namely
it deprives them of exercise
Exercise is absolutely essential to
health, strength and efficiency and, con-
sequently, the lack of it means inability
to work properly. The realization of
this truth has lead many an automobile
owner to purchase a bicycle to ride
simply for exercise The Chicago Ath-
1etc Club, with membership of over
two thousand of Chicago's leading bust
ness men, is actively leading in the
crusade, "back to the bicycle for health
and exercise" Nothing is more salts
flying, more invigorating and more
beneficial than long bicycle ride early
in the morning or in the evening, when
one can feel the soft touch of pure air,
when all cares seem to fit away on the
refreshing breeze.
However, the bicycle satisfies greater
need than that of the well-to-do classes,
who use it only for stimulation and ex-
ercise-it serves as splendid means of
transportation car fare and time saver
to millions of working people. They
find the bicycle necessity in taking
them to and from their daily labor, and
at the same time they find it luxury in
affording means of exercise and recre-
alton. The first cost of bicycle is

GIANTS LED LEAGUE
IN HOME RUNS.
Pounded Out 47 Round Trip WalIops
 During 1912 Season.

In run getting the New York Giants led their league in 1912 by wide margin, and the general impression is they did it by stealing bases. That may be true enough. but some ac- count must be taken of another feat ure of their offensive work Statistics show the Giants led their league in home runs with 47, and a deeper plunge into the dope indicates they had a habit of making them when they counted double or triple-with men on bases. McGraw certainly has on his team several persons who have made it habit to insert four bag gers just at the psychological mo- ment.
 Chief Meyers first assistant in the back stopping department - Arthur Wilson-hit for the grand tour thrice this season and every time his clout meant a New York victory. April 20 Wilson made a four bagger off Nap Fucker in the ninth inning which changed the aspect of the contest. July ho came 10 the bat against Taylor of Boston with the bases filled and cte..41d them. driving the ball out Of the lot September g New York won over Brooklyn, ' to 2, the Giants hay ing tallied twice in the first inning and having two men on the hassocks when it was Wilson's turn at bat. He hit for the circuit and gave the McGrawites a margin that assured victory.
 Pretty nearly every home run made by a Giant this season has been manufactured at the right mo- ment. Larry Doyle and Fred Merkle have been particularly successful in making homers this year. The rec ords show that AIerhle has made | and Doyle has made 1O and that they have made their circuit drives off top notch twirlers like Grover Cleveland Alexander, Nap Fucker, Arthur Fromme. Jimmy Lavender and George Franklin Suggs. Beals Beck CT and Chief Meyers each have made six homers this year, and Johnny Murray, Fred Snodgrass and Arthur Wilson each three. Herzog and De wore, each with two. and Fletcher with one, complete the list of the Giants manufacturers of four bag gers

NINETEEN NEW RECORDS. Most Successful Grand Circuit Season Ever HeId-Baden and Joe Patchen II. Sensations of the Year.

There never was so successful sea- son on the Grand Circuit as the one just closed. Nineteen worlds records were bettered, and in addition to this the season produced in Baden and Joe Patchen II. the greatest money win ming trotter and pacer, respectively, that have yer been heard of. Great racing prevailed all the way from the first meeting at Grand Rapids early in July to the closing events at Lexington, Ky, couple of weeks ago. The sea- son was peculiar in that the horses were slow in coming to their speed. Three-fourths of the season had elaps- ed before the topping of records be- gan, and then record breaking stunts were almost daily occurrences.
 That mighty year old stallion Joe Patchen II. won twice as much money as his nearest competitor in the pacing class. In the circuit itself he did not equal the S25.550 earned by Direct Hal, 2.04 If, just ten years ago, but Joe Patchen H. skipped away from the Grand Circuit long enough to win 3D. 500 at Springfield, H., three weeks ago, hence his actual earnings for the season are $25,950, and they are the greatest ever earned by a pacing horse in one season. Knight Onward, who played second fiddle to Joe Patchen al through the campaign excepting wher he defeated Joe the only time his col ors were lowered, stands second ir winnings. The wonderful 4 year olt Braden Direct is third and Anna Al Me, although only a year old, is fourth and leads all the mares.

 How does MT. Fogel explain the fact that such statements appeare! under his signature?' MT. Lynch was asked.
 He doesn't attempt to explain that at all," was the reply. He merely makes a general denial of that and the other charges and then declares the National league has no jurisdic- ton in the matter of trying him for his alleged statements"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
STOCKS QUIETLY STRONG. Trading Light and Wholly Prefes'
 sional Throughout the Day.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Stocks were quietly strong today after an early period of hesitation, due to such re- strainipg influences as last Saturdays bank statement, the foreign situation and fears of some unfavorable decis- ions by the supreme court. In the aft ernoon, when 1t became definitely known that the latter tribunal would take no action on the several import ant cases before it, the market more than made up for its initial heaviness, but trading remained light and pro- fessional to the end.
 Reading was again the most active issueNwith some inquiry for Hill and Hartman shares, the grangers. and d few less prominent stocks. The To- bacco group was conspicuous for it's wide fluctuations, and oil shares also manifested strength. United States Steel and coppers were little more than steady. In fact. the metal stocks were under moderate pressure, being held back by trade advices which suggest ed price concessions. Earnings of the Steel corporation for the third quarter of the year are to be published after the close of tomorrow's market. Es- inmates range from $27,o0O, 900 to $S0,- 0O00O0, but this flattering prospect seems to have been discounted.
 The most interesting feature of the settlement in the London market where anxiety was plainly discernible was the high carry-over charges for Americans, ranging from 1-2 to 6 1 2 percent. Completion of the settlement IS expected to show a marked decrease in foreign holdings of our securities Paris prices reflected heaviness, and Berlin was again depressed by pos siole complications arising from the war in the Balkans.
 Call money rose to per cent. here an outcome of the depleted bank re- serves, but most loans were made un- ger that rate. The time money stiff Iened to per cent, the highest figure o1 the year for sixty and ninety days with little inquiry for other periods. The bond market fluctuated mar. roWly on very light operations.

MORGAN oUTPoINTED o'kEEFE.
eIphian-McGoorty and Gibbons Matched.

New York, Oct. 2S-Eddie Morgan, the English bantam, was too clever for Eddie O'Keefe of Philadelphia in a ten round bout at Madison Square Garden tonight The Englishman used a left jab to good effect, outpointing O'Keefe in almost every round. The Philadelphian was cautioned several times for holding
 Young Shugrue of Jersey City fore ed the fight with Louis De Ponthieu, the French lightweight and easily won the ten round contest. Shugrue had the longer reach and many of the Frenchman's blows fell short of their mark.
 Bill Fleming of Oldtown, Maine, started off in whirlwind fashion, rock ing Jack Goodman, a local welter, with rights and lefts to head in the open ing round but the local lad had lit tie trouble in outboxing the visitor in the remaining rounds.
 It wa sannounced that Eddie Me- Goorty of Oshkosh, Wis, and Mike Gibbons of St. Paul would meet in a ten round bout at 15S pounds tt the garden December 3.

Crowds in the Terminals.

The new Northwestern terminal at Chicago handles 51.0OO people day, the equivalent in A days of the whole population of that city. remarks the writer in Scribner's. Over 60,0O0 use daily the New York Centrars Grand Central terminal in New York, at which rate every inhabitant of the metropolis passes through it in 15 days.
 About S0,000 daily use the Pennsyl vania Broad street station in Phila- delphia, the equivalent in 19 days Of the city's population. The number using the New York. New Haven and Hartford's South station in Boston every day is over 100000. At that rate the entire population of Boston would pass through it in a week, the whole dense population of New England in two months. and more than one-third of all the people of the United States in year.
 Greater even than this, perhaps is the number handled by the Southern Pacific at it's unique Oakland pier ter minal at San Francisco. To deal

A WARNING
 TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regard
 ing Health Statistics

Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the con- dition of the kidneys.
 The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical an alysis of the patients urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly the other organs can not be brought back to health and strength.
 When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Brightss disease which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1910, in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to fhe health of these most important orgAns.
 An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy.
 The mild and healing influence of this preparation is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures.
 If you feel that your kidneys re- quire attention, and wish sample bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer' & Co. Binghamton, N. Y Mention this paper and they will gladly forward ii to you absolutely free by mail.
 Swamp Root is sold by every drug gist in bottles of two sizes-50c and S100

WADDELL A SPEEDY PITCHER.
Fred Clarke Says That Southpaw Was
 Greatest TwirIer He Ever Faced

Fred Clarke, the veteran manager of
 the Pittsburg Pirates, and one of the greatest batsmen the game ever pro-
 duced, says Rube Waddell, the former Athletic and St Louis southpaw, was the greatest pitcher he ever faced. The Rube had more speed than any pitcher I ever faced" says Clarke. That goes for 'em all, from Amos Rusie down. and big Amos was some pitcher. Con- trary to the general impression, Rusie was not a speed merchant. l know a dozen big leaguers of Rusie's day who had more speed than Amos. The 1ndi- ana giants forte was his curve ball. He had lots of smoke, but no such speed as Waddell l think Rube could shoot the ball over the plate faster than any man who ever stood in the box. When Waddell was fresh and strong, he had frightful speed. You couldn't follow the ball half the time. Lucky Rube had control. or he would have made a lot of business for the undertakers. I've never batted against Walter Johnson or Joe Wood. They tell me that John son is a cannonball pitcher, and Wood runs Walter a close second for the fast ball championship of the American league. We've got few fast pitchers in the National league. Hendrix of the Pittsburg team is one of the best"

PLAN TO CUT DOWN
 PLAYERS SHARE
S1.00o Each for Members of Team Winning Worlds Championship and $750 for Losers.

New York, Oct. 2S.--A plan to cut the players share of the receipts of the world series baseball games will be given serious consideration by the national commission this winter. Au- gust Hermann, chairman of the com- mittee, is one of the advocates of the scheme, which would limit each mem Der of the winning team to $1,000, while the losers would get s750 apiece.
 The money. according to the Herr mann idea, will be deducted from 60 per cent. of the first four games, the balance to be distributed equally among the players of the other four teen major league teams. Under such a plan, the world series would provide a nice bonus for all the major league players, even tail enders, and it Is be- lieved would also put an end to squabbling and possible scandal.
