hard experience with Boston the humble Highlanders come along and take the best end of a hard fought battle.
 Not being able to push into the hit column, Tyrus Cobb proceeded to at tract his daily amount of attention by stealing home while the White Sox watched him.
 The little silver horseshoes pinned on the top of the caps of the Ph11lies by their stock broker friend failed 10 do the business and the jinx is still sitting on Dooin's bat bags today.

 Manager Dumphy of the St. Jos eph's expects to arrange game with the Black Rocks for Sunday. The cold water boys showed up good against the Brooksides last Sunday and Dumphy expects to make all teams hustle to cop the flag. The team will be picked from the follow ing: Lavery. Moshier, Darien, Coles, Christy, Halpin. Mohyde of last years team, Jack Gallagher and Casey last year with the Black Rocks, Sox Sey- fert of the Newfields and Kenny and Lucas of the St. Joseph Jrs.
 Tom Keenan is a little up in the air on that ''infield fly stuff" The rule book in defining an infield fly says a fly ball other than a line drive. No one will dispute but that Whites hit was a line drive. Umpire Farrell, though slow in doing SO. made a correct ruling on the play.
 Robacker needs considerable coach ing on holding base-runners on the bag. It is next to impossible to nail base-stealer with the leads he al lows them. Lavery's throws were all perfect in last Sundays game yet he was unable to catch a man.

BIG LEAGUE GOSSIP

The Cincinnati lineup is the same as last year. The difference is in the way the team plays.
 Big Bob Bescher has been the Reds DDost prolific run getter to date. He led the league in stolen bases last year and Is out for the record again.
 TAs Yankees have apparently made a find in Martin, the Rochester boy, and Shears. the pitcher from the Blue Grass League, seems to have the ma 1or league stuff also.
 No team has yet been known to go through a season without winning more than one game if that's any consolation to the Highlanders.
 Boston and the Athletics are now engaged in the business of cutting each others average. One of them has to lose.
 Hans Wagner, Ty Cobb. Joe Jack son, ct al, will have to start hitting ahe ball soon if they expect to stay in the race with Chief Meyers. average of over 500 for two weeks and shows no signs of weakening.
 When Meyers was playing with the Butte club of the Northwestern Lea Eue a few years ago he made so many home runs that a shoe firm withdrew fits advertised offer of a pair of shoes for each circuit clout.
 Fielder A. Jones, former manager of the Chicago White Sox and now president of the Northwestern League. has become part owner of the new Cornelius Hotel at Portland Ore.
 Marty O'Toole has been working in good form this season and his defeats have been the fault of poor support rather than poor pitching.
 Cobb and Crawford are now begin ming to get their hit apiece each game and the Detroit future is looking more Tosy.
 Connie Mack has made his literary debut in fact he has had two starts to date And Connie is better lit eraturist than most people guessed.
 The season so far has been pro- ductive of phenomena. The Browns have eased their way out Of last place in one league and Cincinnati leads the. other procession.

Van Deman & Wainwright. another

the true conditions and expect to be
fully advised as to the extent of the
price cutting next week. Mr.. VAIN
wright said that the action Of the fac
tories will necessitate a change in the
firms prices to local consumers.
Local automobile dealers were all
pleased at the action Of the tire COM
panies as they claim that the former
prices were exorbitant and beyond
reason. A well known authority said
this week that the tire companies were
probably forced to make the announce
ment by the big automobile factories.
1t is a conceded fact that the prices
maintained by the rubber concerns has
been a source of annoyance to the big
motor car concerns for a long time as
1t has greatly hindered the progress OF
the automobile industry.
Many automobile dealers claim that
there has always been such a small
profit In tires that they only carry a
small stock merely for the accommo-
dalton of patrons.

the cut is merely a notice to the pub
lie that they should not pay a higher
price for the goods than as advertised
