OCEAN TO OCEAN
 RELAY POSTPONED. Poor Road Conditions Mako Proposed Motorcycle Run Undesirable at Present.

Road conditions, bothA in the east and the west, have made it advisable 10 postpone for few months the ocean to ocean relay of the Federation of American Motorcyclists.
 In making the detailed arrangements Tor the many relays across the conti- nent conditions were reported which would have interfered seriously with . fair test of the motorcycles power and endurance
 One of the chief objects of the re- aay being to demonstrate the value of the motorcycle-and to show just what II could do under average conditions 5t was thought best to suffer the an noyance of a delay rather than to go ahead with the run in the face of an extremely unfavorable handicap.
 The arrangements for the dash across The continent from New York to San Diego, Col, has progressed far and the organization of relays, as now perfect ed, will be kept intact until spring. when the long run will be made,
 It has already been demonstrated that such a test will be watched with Intense interest. And the motoreyciists or the country have shown themselves to be enthusiastic in carrying a, spe- cial message from the war department across the continent in record break " Ing time. The decision to pestpone the relay was reached by F, A, M. of ncials only as last resort, for theg were determined to go ahead with the relay on the date announced. and would have done 50 if there had been even fighting chance to overcome tfe s1efemsly unfaverable conditions,

WOOD NEVER EQUALED. Nap Lajoie Says Red Sox Pitcher Has
 Everything.

Napoleon Lajoie, who has faced all kinds of pitchers since he made his bow in major league company, back in 1893, says that Joe Wood of the Boston Red Sox never has been equaled. La joie, one of the biggest batsmen in the American league this year. when asked the other day to tell just why the Red Sox star is in a class by himself, re- piled: Hes got everything combined : physical development. stamina, iron nerve and brains: also natural pitch ing skill. Wood excels in knowing how to pitch to different batsmen. His headwork Is one of the reasons why he is at the head of the class He be- lleves in mixing 'em up, which, in my opinion, Is the most effective method employed to deceive batters. Look over the records and you'll find that the most successful pitchers in any Kind of company have learned the knack of mixing the fast ones with the slow ones without altering their de livery.
 Wood looks like the swiftest pitcher I've ever faced. He seems to have more speed than Amos Rusie. Rub Waddeu, Rube Marquard, Walter John son. and others 1 could name. Yet he develops this wonderful speed with an easy overland motion which enables him to keep his balance and control the course of the bali

RACERS BOUGHT CHEAP.
chssny, One of the Leading Trottsrs,
 Brought Only $90.

Henry Ten Eyck White, in the fol- lowing interesting item, says: Bought for little or nothing at auction, is the slogan that goes with several promi- nent winners on the harness turf this season, and the fact that grand cir cult stars may be picked up for a tri- fling sum if only one is discerning enough and has gameness of the right type during the fall and winter vendue season will send a lot of men with medium sized bank rolls to the ring side during the next few months. Most of them will get exactly what they pay for. but there will be an instance or two of wind splitting trotter or pacer getting by the wise people and going to some lucky individual simply because the price of the nag coincided with the size of the buyers capital
 -Cheeny, gimpy little trotter, big gaited. good headed, and made on the whipcord order, has been trimming a lot of competitors this season, holding her own with the best of the grand circuit timber. Although her record of 2-07 l., is a creditable one, she is regarded as a 2.e4 trotter. She brought $90 threA years ago, and the auction eer thought he earned his commission.
 Cheney was bred at Indianola, ILL, on. the big Green farm. The Greens, father and son, have horses by the score They sample all the foals when they are weanlings and again as yearlings: and they have a track and a trainer and race the nags they fig ure will do for the big meets. One of their pupils, the brown mare, Dorsch Medium, is a member of the Geers string this season, and good win ner; but Cheeny, the undersized lilly the Greens sent to the auctions, know ing she would not bring over s1O0, can beat Dorsch.
 "A Texas farm hand whose monthly pay ticket is $45, owns Cheney. His good friend, John Fleming. likewise a Esxan, trains and drives the mare for nsm. and the pair will split about $10,o00 net this fall when Cheeny and Fleming get back to the Lone Star state"

MANAGER BRESNAHAN DISCHARED
St. Louis Club Management Breaks Five Year Contract posed Leader to Make Every Effort to Force Officials to Live Up to Agreement Received $10,OOO Year and Ten Per Cent of Profits

St Louis, Oct 22.-The formal notice has been served on Roger Bresnahan, manager of the St Louis National league team, that his contract has been terminated by the club management, though it still has four years to run was admitted tonight by J. c. Jones, president of the club. Bresnahan said he would take every means to force the club management to live up to the contract. No specified reasons for the action were given.
 T can now confirm the statement that notice of the termination of the contract has been served on MT. Bresz nahan,' said Jones, after refusing all day to discuss the matter.
 T have a contract with the club which has four years to run" Bresna,- han said. q will make every effort to force the club owners to live up to their end of it. l have fulfilled all my obligations to the club and will expect the club to fulfill it's obligations to me-
 Bresnahan refused to say whether making every effort" meant an appeal to the national commission.
 A man close to those in control of the team declared Bresnahan would make a fight in the courts to compel the club to respect his contract, which calls for a salary of S10,000 a year and 10 per cent. of the net profits.
 It is said the clubs officials offered to make any reasonable settlement with him, but the meeting, it was reported, virtually broke up in row, and there will be another conference to determine what course shall be pursued.
 Mrs. Brltton and her advisers are said to be sanguine of success in de- posing Bresnahan should the case reach the courts. but should they fail, 1t is learned that they plan to keep the manager on the bench.

War in the Balkans Again Proves a
 Paramount Influence.

New York, Oct 22.-The war in the Balkans was again paramount infiu- ence in the stock market today, even though there was an utter lack Of yesterdays heavy liquidation for for eign account. On the contrary, London bought moderately here of United States Steel, Amalgamated Copper and a few other speculative favorltes.
 Nevertheless all European markets continued to manifest uneaSinesS, London taking more stocks from Paris and Berlin. The latter exchanges were weak, Canadian Pacific declining six points in Berlin on what appeared to be urgent selling. The nervousness was accentuated by fears regarding the outcome of next weeks settlement. And private cables from Paris stated that a syndicate of French bankers had been formed to assume the liabili- ties of several brokerage firms which had sustained heavy losses in the re- cent depreciation of Russian and Turk ish securities.
 The opening here was rather sur prise, general declines having been looked for. Instead the market simply displayed some irregularity, followed by general improvement, and by mid day number of substantial gains were recorded, chiefly in the coalers, Union Pacific, Steel and Amalgamated Copper.
 In the latter part Of the session the trading fell away until 1t failed to possess any significance, the only fear being the activikAA in Chino Copper at a new higher record. Towards the end prices fell steadily until little remained of early gains, Union Pacific and Le- high Valley being especially heavy.
 For the first time in some days call loans opened at 5 per cent, and the greater part of the days offerings were at that figure. Local banks suffered another heavy drain to the sub-treas- ury, their total loss since last Friday approximating ss.oO0,0Oo.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN TEAMMATES
Wood Was Once Signed for Washing
 ton Instead of Boston.

Where would the Washington team be today with Walter Johnson and Joe Wood, the two greatest pitchers In the game, both working on Grifith's pitching staff? It was fate. or rather fate in the disguise of poor business ability, that prevented the two twtrl- ing stars from being teammates on the Washington club. Tn the spring Of 1908 Washington played an exhibition game in Kansas City, and Joe Cantil- Ion watched young pitcher strike out seven of the nine batsmen that faced him in the last three innings. The name of this young player was Joe Wood Canti1lon made arrangements to secure Wood right then and there. The Washington manager was given to understand that when the time came to dispose of Wood the National club would be given first chance.
 Cantillon allowed the prospective deal to go at that and during the sum mer Boston purchased Wood without Cantillon ever being consulted or given a chance to bid for Wood.

 with the new conditions. An odd thing is that gasoline is cheaper h
 many other sections than 1t is in New | York. In Detroit, Kansas City and
 many other towns of the middle west gasoline sells anywhere from IA 12 | to Is cents a gallon retail. In New York, the price is from P cents up. | Why there should be these differences puzzles motorists, and, what is more, pains them grievously. The automo- 1 bile dealers association and the Au- tomobile Club of America have not yet tackled this problem, or if either ! has, the work has been conducted with | complete secrecy All that motorists know is that New York is getting the worst end of the gasoline problem.
