The automobile muffler cut-out is

After a battle that has lasted for

sportmanship have been arrayed
against Ignorance n intolerance-a
large number of cities and communi-
ties have passed laws which prohibit,

London has taken the lead and
Europe is falling into line. New York's

That such laws will become general

MED reports hat the st. Paul boxer

their class for the present.
The Gibbons zanders match, sched-

BATS 1884, FAILS
in MAJJR SOCIETY

To hit 1884 and yet fail to hold a
place in the American league is the
well nigh unique record of Dave Row
an, who played in eighteen games at
firsth base for Bobby Wallace's ST.
Louis browns last season, Rowan, has
been allowed to slide back to the mi
nors because he didn't have the build
to make a successful first baseman for
the big show.
The first day Rowan showed up to
play with the battered browns he inn
pressed the fans with his ability to
slam the ball. 1t made no difference
what kind of a ball was served to him.
He hit them all for the far corners and
cared not a whit which pitcher was
opposing him. The best twirlers of
the Philadelphia athletics got the same
punishment as the rawest rockies with
the senators.
But he was let out to give John Ku-
tina, the wrestler from Michigan, a
chance to show his class around the
initial corner. When the fans looked
at the figure they wondered why
Rowan had failed. Then Bobby Wal
lace told them.

IN TIE WORLD OF SPORT

from Pueblo at the close Of the season
Of 1907. Buddy had visions of an
immediate and rapid rise from obscur-
ton al into professional baseball.
To be called to the big circuit SO soon
was indeed an honor.
But the hour didn't come. January
of 1903 slipped by and Buddy" receiv-
ed no contract from Boston. Neither
did he receive even as much as a short
note from the Boston club. Ditto Feb
ruary. "Buddy'' began to wonder.
Not receiving q, contract by Feb. / he
was a free agent. Unfortunately he
didn't recognize then the value of that
title.
When March slipped in and still no
contract appeared he sought advice
and wrote to the national commission.
The matter was investigated. 1t vas
discovered that the Boston manage
ment had forgotten all about him.
According to the law of the game he
was free to dispose of his services as
he wished. The Denver club offered
to raise his salary from $3.50 to $3.50
per month and give him the purchase
money.
The national commission ordered
Buddy to report to Portland. Be
ing a recruit at the time and not ia
miliar with the laws of the sport he
didn't kick seriously, To this day he
doesn't know by what authority the
national commission issued the order.
Then came more trouble. Portland
offered him $3.50 per month. 'Buddy's''
threat to toss up the sponge and quit
the game brought a better offer from
Portland, but n not as large as that
offered by Denver. Buddy finally
accepted.

design. That cars a be built to do
all their work satisfactorily and quiet
ly has been proven by the S~tudebaker
corporation and the Packard Motor Car
Co. The E.-M.-F. "30", Flanders go"
and all types Of Packards are market
ed without cut-out equipment. 1t is
also noteworthy that these cars have
attained wide fame for their quiet
qnalities-a result, perhaps, OF the
fact that the a r never. exhaust ex-
cept through the muffler.
In view of the prevailing variety Of
opinion, the automobile club of Ameri-
ca recently. decided to make a series Of
systematic experiments which would
firmly establish the facts in the case.
The results were embodied in a lecture
by Prof. +. r. Hutton. chairman of the
clubs technical committee.
To the amazement Of the club MEM
bers n their chauffeurs, Hutton
plainly proved that a motor develops
Just as much power when muffled, as
when ~exhausting direct from the
cylinders. Test after test was made
from the platform, at motor speeds
both high and low, and with the same
result. There was a narrow range Of
medium motor speed where the un-
muffled motor seemed to develop a
fraction more power but this advant-
age vanished as the speed grew greater
or less.&
In view Of Professor Hutton's con-
illusions, the n suberfuge advance
ed for the muffler cut-out Is not likely
to save the noise-makers much longer.
Motorists and public will surely re-
joice in the near future over the Of
fetal squelching of a long standing
nuisance.

Of a call for July 4.

OF the lake magnates are going to

comedians of the Minny league, then
there will be no league. Jawn Elliott

up against a rather peculiar PROPOSE
ton.

nouncement of a definite plan is made
or that the ship of local league base

RUMOR SAYS THAT NEW
LEAGUE WILL BE FORMED

Duluth Herald: Duluth, Superior
Fargo, Grand Forks, Virginia and
winnipeg are said to be the cities thar
VIII form the league that Duluth win
play in the present season.
This story yesterday broke loosa
from the local corral, ran amuck and
mao not been lassoed at the time of
going to press today. The organiza-
ton of5said league is. according to the
lcng-horned steer of rumor, to be ar
ranged.
IL is proposed to get Jawn Elliott
here and then settle the controversy
with the moribund Minny. Again re-
terring to the reported resolutions Of
Yesterday, it is said that both Will
Somrner and DIR. McCuen have agreed
to settle with Elliott immediately ana
go ahead, with the organization of the
new league.
Darby oBrien, when asking for
some light along the dark and cropping
path OF baseball, was told to stick
around" for other purposes than to
accumulate the bloom of nose. The L.
.. was given to understand that there
would be something doing within a
few days. Today is March 20.
With all the stalling, the h~esitancy
and the lack of business methods
shown by the Mtnny men in the con-
duct of their affairs, it is about time
that the magnates here took the reins
in their own hands, if they are really
serious in their intentions to organize
a professional league.
A man with two bright eyes in his
hean should be able to see through
the obvious and devious methods of
the Minnesota Wisconsin league Of
ficials. 1t the men owning franchises
in that organization were ever en-
titled to serious consideration they
have forfeited it by the methods pur-
sued this spring.

LARRY ONCE ASKED
FOR Sos SALARY

New Orleans, March 30.-Prosperity
was not always Nap Lajoie's portion
Of the things handed out in this world.
There was a time in the long ago
when the great Frenchman was will
ing to work the entire year for just
about half what he Ireceives for a
month now.
Mique Finn, noted minor league
manager, scout for the New York gil
ants last year, and now ngage to
manage the Mobile club, told the story
which he claims has never been pub
lished.
Mique was manager of the Waltham
club back in the 90's. With the close
of the season of 1885 the Waltham
team was switched to Newport, r.. /.
In the spring of 1896 Mique received a
lengthy letter from Larry asking for a.
job as catcher, mentioning a party
Newport, as reference, and stating
that he would work for S65.a month.
Tommy Connolly, VINO was then
umpiring in the New England league,
advised Quinn to look into the matter.
A letter to Costello brought back the
brief answer, He won't do" Finn
didn't answer Larry's letter.
Early in the spring Providence was
scheduled to play the Fall River club.
Connolly, who had been on the scene
for three or four days, awaited the ar
rival Of Finn with glowing tales Of
Larry's prowess. Finn was on hand
the day of the game. Larry was at
second.
Never saw any hitting like his be-
fore or since them" declared Finn in
relating the story.
Along about July 4 of that year Lar
~ went to the Philadelphia club.
Firms treasury would have been vast
ly increased if he had listened to Lar
RVS plea.
