The Atuse Of ths Automobile.

The twentieth century may fairly
be called the age of speed. The
trolley car, rushing through city
streets and country roads, replaces
the jogging horse car and rumbling
stage: the fast steamers take yon to
England IN five days: the thousand
of miles between New York and
Chicago IS covered in eighteen hours;
and mankind has almost forgotten
ihe quiet saunter. Distances have
been shortened by the bicycle, the
automobile and the MOTOR boat; and

Although much is gained perhaps,
the physician knows that something
is lost. The uses and benefits of
the automobile, for example, are
great if i is sensibly used; but when
j is abused, the danger TO those in
and out of the car is even greater.
Driving a high power car at full
speed is a pleasurcable form of in

1t has its penalties, and they are

The tax on the eyes is enormous,
for they arc kept NJ constant strain,

Notwithstanding the fact that he made
an error yesterday, Green has been play
ing a consistently good game during the
entire series. He has hit better than the
average and has fielded his position &C.
curately.
1t is mighty seldom that better class
of amateur ball viii be found than was
put up yesterday by the two teams rep
resenting the Cornell and Potomac Elec,
trio Power Company. Both clubs played
consistently and both did some excep-
tionally good work. OF course the quality
of the play was not as good as would
have been the result had two semi-pro-
fessfonal teams been performing, but IN
the main 1t was a whole lot better than Is
generally played anywhere in the anna
teur ranks. Either of the clubs playing
yesterday would rank we'll with any OF
the college aggregations and they put uI
about the best class of amateur ball.
OF course there were instances when
the right kind of plays were not made.
but that is to be expected in any kind
of sport in which the competitors are not
men long skilled. An illustration OF
what is meant by this came when 9
catcher on one of the teams tried to steal
with two down and the pitcher at bat.
He was caught and the result was that
the pitcher, very weak hitter was left
to come to the bat first in the following
inning. The right play would have been
to play safe and allow the pitcher to
hit the ball and get out. which he does
the majority of times. and then have the
strong end of the batting order lead Off
the following inning.
Sips such as that are to be expected,
though. in amateur ball. 1t being those
very things which distinguish between
the amateur and the professional.
Out Of respect to the late Mr.. Thomas
c. NoyeS the amateur base ball com
mission has decided to call off all sched-
uled games for tomorrow. The action is
especially In appreciation Of the many
fine courtesies shown by Mr.. Moves in
