NEWARK HAS EDGE
ON ROYAL SERIES
Smiths Men Have Won | | and
Lost 5 Games to
Montreal.
TO WIND UP TOMORROW

The Tigers Will finish their season 3
series with the Montreal Royals to-
morrow. Up to today the Tigers had
won eleven and lost eight contests
to the Royals. The best the Brans-
fielders can do will be to tie the
Tigers by winning three straight
games, but that hardly seems pos
sible.
C. II. Chaplin, the Rochester mag
nate, comedies the pennant to the
Tigers and says: Newark was lucky
this year. inasmueh as Tooley was
the only player injured, while we
were without the services of Barrows
and Mcmillan. Had this pair been
in the game all season the result
would have been different This il
Cancels fifth year with Rochester
and he has finished first three times
and second twice, a pretty good
record, 1 think"
or course Newark was lucky in a
way. Rochester lost valuable man
in Barrows, the clever outflelder
who served with Jersey City year
ago.
The Tigers have had their handi-
caps, too, but always had good men
to fill in these vacancies. Lew Nc
Carly had his finger broken when
he was batting like a Wagner. Gag
nier, Tooley, Eddie Zimmerman, Dali
ton and Enzmann have been out of
the lineup at different times with in
juries. EnZmanns mishap Is tho
worst Of all. The Tigers lead, 1t IS
safe to say, would be at least three
or four games larger. had Johnny
been in trim since mid-season.
The Newark club, 1t is true, had
fewer men out through injuries, but
1t may be that the bops were willing
TO work even when not in the best
physical shape to show Manager
Smith their appreciation. There is
not a man in the roster who would
stall under a leader like Smith.
Wonder if Bill Dahlen is trying &c
make q pinch hitter out of Collins
Bill was best when performing regu-
larly.
Tom Downey, who started the sea-
son as ird-sacker for the Orioles,
Is being shifted about like n shuttle
cock He was sold by indianapolis
to Louisville yesterday. Last season
Downey went from the Phillles to
the Cubs was sold to Oakland, re-
fused to report and then became the
property of the Baltimore club.

Aided by the Boston Red Sox, who
again defeated Cleveland, the Phila-
delphia Athletics put another game
between themselves and the Maps, by
winning at Chicago AS many of the
games in Chicago have been, of late,
it was a pitchers battle. The Mack
men took the contest by a score of
2-1. The Athletics punched three of
their hits for two runs in the eighth
inning. Chicago got one run in the
ninth.
Hugh Bedient twirled eleverly and
the Maps were beaten by the same
score as the Athletics were victors
Gregg and Cullop allowed the same
number of hits as did Bedient-eight
all told. Bedient helped to win his
own game with two hits.
The Yanks got an even break at
Detroit in a double-header Detroit
won the first game, IA, and lost the
second tussle, 1871. Cobb had five hits
in the two games, both teams banging
the ball over the lot. Peckinpaugh
had a home run and two other hits,
one of them double. in the last
game.
"Southpaw'' Mitchell defeated
Washington at ST. Louis by a score
of 80. Boehling was hit safely nine
times, Shotten taking three safeties
as his share. Two double plays kept
the Senators from scoring.

Jeff Tesreau proved that he is en-
titled to the nickname 'Bearhunter "
and that he is an adept at the sport,
when he shot down Johnny Evers's
Cub family at New York and bagged
the game 81. The Giants have run
wild against the Evers crew so far,
and 1t begins to look as though the
Cub machine is going to pieces for a
certainty. Cheney, who started the
game, was easy for the Giants, who
had only seven hits in the game. but
got them when there were men on
bases.
Brooklyn dropped another game to
the Cincinnati Reds, who earlier in

'Tn the early days of the automo-
bile the difficulty was not in stopping
a car, but in starting it," says w. j..
Miller of the Gordon Motor COM
pany, Brakes were a matter of last
consideration from the manufactu-
rer's viewpoint. Some of the earliest
cars had no brakes at all. Others had
very small brakes on one or both rear
wheels, with possibly service brake
on the propeller or jack shaft. a
brake on a single wheel caused the
of the shaft brake was that severe
stress was thrown on the chains or
universal joints.
"A strong feeling arose concerning
brakes that had to operate through
driving parts, because many cars
could not be held when starting to
back down hill. Sprays were fitted,
which were intended to be dropped in
the event of machine starting back
wards but it was found these were
inefficient SO good practice demand
ed brakes which operated directly on
the rear wheels. Shoes acting on the
tires being out of the question. the
necessary action was secured by steel
drums bolted to the spokes. One of
the most efficient brakes was the self
wrapping type. but its action was very
severe, frequently locking the wheels
and causing them TO slide and damage
the tires Attempts were made to de-
sign brakes that would be just as eff
ficient in their action, but which would
not have the serious disadvantages
mentioned. Shoe brakes had a con-
siderable vogue, but the Innings used
were such as to cause a disagreeable
squeak,ng when the car was just
about to stop.
The perfected automobile brake of
today embodies four brakes, all act
ing directly on the rear wheel brake
drums. There are two service brakes,
operated by the right foot pedal, each
a continuous, external contracting
band of steel. which is slightly fiexi-
bic and lined with a non-burning fric-
ton material made OF asbestos fibre.
into which fine copper wire is woven
to give tensile strength. This external
band cannot have a self wrapping
action and assures perfectly free
movement OF the wheels when the
brakes are not applied. A distinct ad-
vantage OF the modern brake is the
simple adjustment Of a wing nut cas-
lily controlled by hand without the aid
of tools. This perfected brake. on &C
count of its large diameter and suit
able friction materials. gives a
promptness in stopping that in emer-
geFscy protects human life and at ali
times gives the passengers a feeling
Of absolute security. The hand brakes
are operated by lever placed con-
venient to the driver and are used
principally when stopping on a grade.
BRyonet locks are so attached as to
prevent rattle
ITO an unthinking person the Ques-
ton Of brake design may seem com
paratively simple. But as a. matter OF
fact, thousands of hours OF thought,
collectively speaking, together with
an infinite amount of patience. have
been expended to secure brakes OF
really excellent quality"

This announcement as to who will
drive the Case cars at Indianapolis

famous little New York pilot. will I'M

races last season, lowered more
worlds records and travelled a longer
distance than any professional driver
in the history of automobile racing.
While his name has not been an

change being made.
Joe kikrent of Los Angeles. who

of the Case speed demons along with
Disbrow. Nikrent will be given sec

In these days the main points
taken into consideration by the e2-
perts are the saving of room, the
elimination of extra handling of ma
terial and the quick and constant
moving of the product.
The use of the motor vehicle is the
best possible means to secure such
conditions.
Valuable property used for stables
may be turned to other account, and
the investments thus released used in
money making channels. Loading
platforms are less crowded with the
vehicles, and delivery both night and
day is possible.
Better time on routes. preventing
congestion in delivery departments,

Farrell Announces
Two New Leagues

AUBURN. ". Y, March 12.--John
H. Farrell. secretary of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues, announced today the forna-
ton of two new leagues which have
received protection from the National
association. They are the Southern
California association. composed of
San Diego, Pasadena, Long Beach and
San Bernardino. and the Empire State
league, composed of Brunswick, Way
cross. Americas, Thomasville, Cor
dele and valdosta. Ga. Both qualified
in Class D.
Regarding the refusal of the board
to grant protection to the Empire
league recently formed in Central New
York, Farrell said:
ION the list of proposed club own
ers of the Empire league are the
names of some men who were identi-
fed with the Ohio-Pennsyivania
league last year. The national board
and the national commission both de-
termined last November not TO grant
protection to any league with which
these men were identified"
