certain Fascination in beating it from

Twenty mills an hour for a DAYS
travel is Il very good average. This
means about $50 miles for eight hours
travel. This is good rambling, and as
a majority of motorists on a, long trip

hours. the total for tho day will lie in
creased acrordincl".
"A twenty-rnile average is really

Poor Newspaper
Guy Gives Aid to
Baseball at Last
Sport Writer Says 1t Would Be Dead
World Without Daily Diamond
Dope.

While the first intersectional
clashes ave been giving lis the first
real glimpses of the comparative
strength of the American and Nation
al league teams recently we have been
having a fact proved in Chicago that
may interest a lot of people," says
Hugh S. Fullerton.
have. during their recent a of
great prosperity. declared that base
ball was independent of the newspa
pers. Indeed such intellectual giants
as c. Webb Murphy and Charles Eb-
bits have practically stated that the
newspapers depended upon baseball
for their circulation. OF course,
printing baseball news makes %circula-
ton fer newspapers. else the news
papers would not print 1t.
But during the last ten days Chi
cago has given the club owners an
object lesson in relative values. There
has been a strike of several of the
trade allied with the newspaper
printing business which resulted in
Gripping the big dailies Of Chicago
and restricting their circulation, be-
sides cutting down the amount of
baseball news and gossip printed. The
a shock to the baseball magnates who
thought that the game vas independ-
ent of the advertising received through
the papers. The attendance at games
in Chicago fell off 80 per cent at least.
Interest in the fierce ace in the two
leagues declined.
II secuted around the city and dis
covered, rather to my amazement,
that the lack of baseball news was re-
ceived rather as a welcome relief from
a necessary evil, than as a bereave-
ment. A score of men told me they
were glad they couldn't get the news.
that their employees could attend to
business and that there was less waste
of time. The attendance at Sundays
game, which was expected to break
all records. fell off to an alarming de-
gree. The town. which had been wild
over the sensational race of the White
SoX. cooled off in an instant. 1 met
fans who had been roofing wildly. who
inquired whether or not the team was
in town. Two days had suf1!ced to
throw them clear out of touch with
baseball. 1 met score of men who
did not know which team was in town.
and who had evidently lost interest,
because their attention was not spur
red every hour or so by the newspa-
per. To me 1t was a startling proof
that interest in baseball largely is
manufactured by the papers. l really
believe that IL the newspapers YER to
be suppressed for a couple of months,
and one were to mention Walsh, peo-
pie would say: walsh? Ed. Walsh?
Who's he?"

Oldfield Helps
Dead Teammate's
Wife and Child
famous Racing Driver Raising Mon.
ey for Mrs. Ben Kcrcher n
Pretty Baby.

Carney Oldfield is raising money to
help the wife and child Of the man
who once gave him the greatest race
of his life. Ben kuscher.
The nervy "Flying Dutchman," once
the teammate of Oldfeld. was buried
by his brother Masons at Los Angeles.
Ben died with his wife and baby girl
holding the limp hands which once
had driven the fast Darracu into q
world record.
The famous racing drivers finish
was said inc yet was fitting. While
Barney Oldfield, the man he wor-
shipped, was facing certain defeat on
the santa Monica road race course,
Ben entered the great beyond. While
the streets in full regalia Ben was laid
to rest.
The mar who defeated oldfeld in
the palmiest days of the former speed
kings triumphs. went to Los Angeles
to watch Barney win the Santa Monica
road race. Ben was certain Barney
would be the victor. His futterine
have come had Ben seen Oldfield beat
en- by mere striplings who were in
kree breeches when Barney was king.
Two weeks before the great road
race Ben reached Los Angeles with his
hollow eyes aglow with the fire Of a
speed contest in which he was sure a
world record would be smashed. He
was accompanied by his plucky wife
and pretty baby. The pallid hands Of
the great white plague specter reached
out for Ben and a week before the
Santa Monica road race he was obliged
to seek his bed. Even then he hoped
to be carried to Santa Monica to watch
Barney win.
While Teddy Tetzlaff was racing in
to a world record. far ahead Of Old
field. poor Ben passed out. firm In the
belief that Barney vas still the great
est motor driver on earth. As the
Shriners marched by in q blaze Of
glory. Ben's body was lowered to its
last resting place. His two last wish
es had been denied. He did not see
Barney win and death robbed him Of
the chance to enjoy Shriners' week.

was commented on by all the news

In Richie he ran up against one of

matches to prove tina he is as good
