Manufactures and Drivers Are Already

New York, Jan. 22.--While the Ma
tional and American Leagues are fix
ing their fences, the Federal League
making hair raising midnight raids on
the Organization corrals, and col
lege crews beginning to timber up,
things are also stirring in automobile
circles for the big sporting event of
the year in that line. The 500-mile
sweepstakes run on the Speedway at
indianapolis is now the real wallop of
the year so far as automobile speeding
is concerned and manufactures and
drivers are already making preparations
for the grind.

made more of record as an exhibition
driver in smashing records than by

Burman's Special Car.
In the first place he is building a
special ear at Battle Creek, Mich. This
ear is Burman's idea of the last word
in speed construction. 1t is to carry
a sixteen valve motor, to each cylin-
der, and is generally framed along the
lines figured to pull out every ounce
of power and speed possible. Many Of
the foreign made racing cars are now
equipped with the sixteen valve motors
but this feature is new to American
machines. Burman has also rejiggered
the usual arrangement of seats along
side the driver on the racing cars. The
seat for his mechanician is to be set
alongside the driver as usual, but back
of Burman's seat some six inches or
more. The mechanician s body will
therefore be on line with the back of
Burman s seat, leaving free arm room
for steering the car. Burman found
that his elbow was constantly humping
his mechanician in his old ears.
The new racing ear is to be equipped
with wire wheels as Burman believes
they are now the most practical. 81

Interesting Problem.
Never having managed baseball
team or organized league we are not
in the position to advise the restaura-
teuFs, oyster and fish merchants, bank
ers, lawyers, coal dealers, brokers, real
estate dealers and members of the Ca
madam Parliament on how the Federal
league should proceed in ripping the
lining out of "organized' baseball.
BUT there is an interesting problem to
be worked out by the league leaders.
With Joe Tinker signing up big
leaguers for his Chicago team and and
all reports indicating that President
Weegham has no more regard for money
than a ham sandwich when it comes
to signing up players, information as
to the make up of some of the teams
would be interesting. This is one base
ball muss, however, in which the fan,
the fellow who pays his money, may sit
back and smile. He stands to come
out on top whether the Federal league
lives or dies. If it lives and puts UP
good baseball at popular prices-wcll
that will be one step toward lowering
the cost of living If it dies (Which
doesn't seem matter to worry over
at present judging from the lusty
swats handed the National league) the
organized" baseball interests will
probably come from the post mortem
considerably chastened and much wiser.
A league is not going to be held up
long, however, with one, or possibly
two strong clubs in the circuit. The
race must be reasonably close to keep
up interest. If the Federal league has
not some way of distributing players
they may find Joe Tinker and his Chi
cago bunch breezing through hands
down. indianapolis won the pennant
last year but where will Bill Philips
and his team stand this year with the
Chicago bunchl st. Louis has Miner
Brown, Baltimor Otto Knabe, and Kan
sas City, George Stovall, but one man
doesn't make a ball team any more
than one swallow makes spring or
a drunk. One high class man makes
a lot Of difference in an otherwise me-
diocre club, but he can't necessarily
put up fight against well balanced

Want Best For Money.
Baseball may be sentimental to a
certain extent, but they are going to
spend their money where they get the
best baseball for the money. The Amer
lean league got them and the Feds will
draw their share if they deliver the
goods. Crowds are not going to be at

delicate for me to decline the ap-

the appointment of an ambassador to
a country which cannot be expected
to be familiar with the real circum-
stances as they are known at home.

talk about or explain there as far as
the ambassador himself is concerned.
