Sox will tour the world at the close of
the present season in company with the
New York Giants, according to informa-
tion learned today. This, of course. sc-
cording to the disclosure is contingent
upon both teams winning in their re-
spective circuits. John I. Taylor, vice
president of the Red Sox, said that no
permanent plans had been made, but
as early as last winter President Nc
Aleer looked on such a trip as a profit
able one
Since then McAleer is said to have
been in communication with Frank Ban
croft, of Cincinnati. The business man.
ager of the Reds, and Manager Nc
Graw, of the Giants, have formulated
plans for the trip around the world. II

AUTOMOBILE NOTES

r. C. Smith, president of the Over
land Washington Motor Company, who
is making a tour to Connecticut in an
Overland roadster, spent the greater
part of last week at the Overland fac
tory in Toledo. Mr.. Smith had the dis
tinction of being the first Overland
dealer to contract for 1913 cars. He has
increased his order for the new models
to 600 as against 800 cars which he sold
and delivered during the 1912 season.
His, selling territory has also been in
creased, so that 1t now includes the
District. of Columbia, Virginia. and
parts of West Virginia, North Carolina,
and Tennessee
American made automobiles may play
a prominent part in the next European
war. The war department of the
Greecian government has written a num-
ber of American makers of motor cars
asking for bids on trucks and other ma
chimes that can be used in field service.
The Warren Motor Car Company, of De-
troit, represented here by the Warren
Motor Sales Company, Is one OF the
concerns that has been requested to
put in bids.
The biggest automobile parade in the
history of the industry was held in De-
tTOlt curing tHe past week. mOTe tldn
5000 cars passed the reviewing stand In
competition for the prize offered for the
finest display.
Almost every car known took part
The Vanderbilt LoZier drew salvos OF
applause; the Cadillac was represented
by a section two blocks in length-driv.
ing two abreast; the section of De-
troiters," which followed the prize DE.

A group of trick riders and a section

The winner Of the post-season series
among the amateur teams If this city
will probably meet the winner Of the
title in the Richmond amateur circuits
on Labor Day in this city II present
plans carry for the inter-city title.
President Robert H. Young is in re-
ceipt Of letter from the Richmond
officials stating that all Is In readiness
for the series.
Richmond officials state that every
thing is In tip-top shape for the series
and that conference with the WASH
fngton officials of the amateur leagues
Is desirable. 1t Is expected that the
Richmond officials will visit here sooi.
Tor the purpose of arranging minor de-
tails OF the meeting between the teams
While no definite arrangements have
been completed 1t Is expected that the
FIRST game will be played here on Labor
Day and that che second contest will
be held at Richmond. AS the series
viii consirt Of the best of three games
the teams will meet to arrange suit
able grounds for the third game should
II be necessary.
Loffler looks now to be out of the
running for the Independence League
race having lost to Pepco yesterday.
Errors were responsible for :he loss of
the game as Brady outpitched his op-
ponent, Barton. These teams have fur
nished several good games to the fans
who have supported the circuit.
-
without attempting to disparage the
work OF the Postoffice team, 1t is diff
cult to calculate how II can be figured
as winner Of the post-season series.
With but one or two exceptions, the
team has never been called upon to
show its full strength, all other teams
in the Departmental League being in
ferior In playing strength. Walker,
who pitched the team to victory over
Cornell, Is not to be seen In the post
season series. a. he is to be tried out
with the Athletics, and has never been
eligible for the Departmental League
aggregation.
The question OF charging admission to
the post-season series games will like
ly come up for discussion at a meeting
of the commission. While there Is in
terest manifested in the games, II ap-
pears to be poor policy to charge ad-
mission to the games. Few fans care
to dig up money for amateur games,
rather heing content to offer contribu-
tiops. IL the officials decide to let in
the fans free, large crowds would be on
hand to see the teams In action in the
post-season series. The dependence up
on the fans for the money to put
through the amateur league games has
been one OF the causes of the lack of
popularity Of the games. Few want TO
dig down and pay out real money when
IL Is possible 20 see a real pennant con-
tender In big league for slightly more
money.

Davis q Failure.
1t is a general impression among
baseball writer's and the fans who have
followed the Naplanders this season
that Harry Davis has failed as di-
rector of the team. Indeed, 1t Is whls-
place Topsy Hartsel. the latter coming
to Cleveland to manage the Forest City
outfit next season.
The experts point out specific cases
where Davis showed faulty Judgment
in handling pitchers and pinch hitters.
They say that fully a dozen ball games
have been thrown simply through Davis

team.
"I don't hammer Davis" said one of
these experts to the writer the other

Another curious coincidence is the fact that the Champ Clark campaign in California is exceedingly well fi- nanced. Nothing has been done, in California, to collect that money. and there is apparently no great Champ Clark fund to draw from anywhere But there has been a big Harmon fund for over year. none of which, under it's own name, has appeared in Califor- nia.
 The obvious conclusion is the one which everybody draws-that there is a Clark Underwood- Harmon combina- tion against Woodrow Wilson. The three are to get all the delegates they can, each of them running alone wher- ever he seems strongest, and then the combined delegates are to go to which ever of the three develops the best chance of winning.
