Public Tired of Ball War.


 Organized baseball and the Federal league failed to get together last week, as expected. The dove of peace flew out of the window, but there is still a chance that the tintd bird will be coaxed back again before gentle spring arrives. Organized baseball is willing to talk peace with the Fed erals, but the introduction must come rom the new league. That Is the hitch at present, but, negotiations are not over, and 1t would not be s1rpris- Ing If several important conferences were held in the near future, 90 that the baseball war will be settled when the American and National leagues noio their annual meetings in Decem- ber.
 So far as the public is concerned, 1t IS tired of the baseball war, and the quicker the masnates realize this and reach some sort of a peace settlement all concerned. Of course, the base bah player cannot see 1t in this light. These are the harvest days for the players. but the man who pays his money has no interest in the players welfare. What the fan wants Is the ana the general opinion among the de- votees of the sport today is that they are not getting as good return for their money as they did a year ago.
 The Federal league officials are quoted as saying they are not looking With the result of last seasons cam paign. If they are. the Federals are easily satisfied, and there Is no use of anyone looking for a peace settlement; but If the Federals are satisfied to lose money the way they did last season, stand alone in the baseball world to- day,

DOINGS N TIE AUTO WORLD
Tendencies of the Season in Design Well Established Streamke Type and Sloping Col Retains its Popular iy-Automatc Automobile Jack-Increased Mileage With Wire Wheels.

With the bringing of the various automobile models for 1915, the ten dencies of the season in design have become pretty well established. The modified stream-like type of body has retained its popularity as has the sloping cowl, leading from the engine bonnet to the dash, which is really idea Looked at from within, there is a marked tendency this season to extend the cowl further back than heretofore, giving added protection to the occupants of the front seats. Some makers have even fitted embryo cowls at the back of the front seat.
 As to number of cylinders the bat tie between or better perhaps the riv- airy of the four and six cylinder types remains. On the whole, the number of sixes has increased. how ever, and the proportion of manufac- turers which makes this type either wholly or in part is very large. One maker has caused a stir by the an nouncement of an eight cylinder mod el with the cylinders set in V-shape. This is probably the most decided mechanical innovation of the year, especially when it is considered that in spite of its doubled number has less cubic capacity than the four which it replaces and will show, it is believed, greater gasoline economy.
 3 Self starters, of course, are part of the equipment of nearly every car. as are electric lights. Many of the mod els show interesting illuminating de- tails, including dimming devices for the Headlights, step lamps and trouble lamps with which the car may be conveniently examined at night Indeed, convenience is, a key note of, the present season in motor car design, stress being laid on the comfort of those who are to use the car. This is manifested in the wide doors, quickly adjusted tops, conven- tent curtains and in a dozen other

YosT TAKES NO CHANGES.
Michigan Has Light, Practice for the
 Big Game Saturday.

Michigan will take the field Saturday against the Crimson for the interSeC- tional title without having engaged in a scrimmage drill since the Syra- cuse game last week. The nearest ap- proach to real football that Yost has given his men has been the charging and breaking through work for the iinemen. The Wolverines are in such condition that the coaches are taking no chances on further crippIng, .up time polishing off the rought edges of the scoring machine and bracing up some of the weaker cogs.
 The last real workout before the Crimson game, was guarded with the greatest secrecy that ever attended a Michigan team. Evidently the Michi- gan coaches were giving their men practice in the open game for the first time this season. In none of the early games did Michigan show anything but straight football. Even in the hard game with the Michigan Aggies, Yost used but a dozen plays.
 Against Syracuse, Michigan substi- tutes opened up but once during the contest and the, close followers of the local situation believe the Western wizard will entirely change the style Of play of his men when he meets Harvard Saturday. Hughitt was not out at practice, being detained by CldSSoS.
 The veterans arm showed no i'll effects from the workout he gave it yesterday. however and the coaches are more encouraged than ever over the prospect of the veteran field gen. eral being able to last out the big game Saturday. Whalen and Gait, out for the season with injuries, were the only other absentees from the practice.
 Willard in Squad.
 Willard, reserve lineman, was taken over to varsity squad today, rnak- ing 24 players that Yost will take East tomorrow afternoon. The list of men upon whom Wolverine followers are pinning their hopes Of upsetting liar ward, follow:
 Captain Raynsford, Watson, McHale Cochran, Reimann, Benton, Staatz, Hughitt, Maultbetsch, Splawn, Lyons, Dunne. James, Rehor, Quail, Norton, Huebel Zieger, Rastian, % Bushnell, Catlett, Roehm, Mnkbeiner and Mil-

small ways.
 Certainly, one of the outstanding features of the 1915 seasoN is the re- duction in the weight of cars. Cuts in weight of from 50 to 100 pounds are to be found and emphasis is laid on the lighter weight of their product this fall by nearly all of the manu- lecturers. This reduction has been made possible both by improvement in design and by the marked ad- vances in the quality of the steels used in motor car construction By the use of the new steels very great reduction in weight without any loss of strength has been effected in many instances.
 In the appearance of the cars for ward strides have been made not only in general body design and finish, but also in the removal of unsightly and inconvenient accessories. Tires are carried either on the rear or far forward on the side, 20 as to be out of the way of the door to the front seat: side lamps are found in com bination with, the headlights instead or on the sides of the car, horns are frequently placed under the engine hood instead of in a position where they can be seen, and toe, boxes are slowed away in arious ingenious ways so that the IT ming boards may be kept clear.
 The torpedo, or fore-d door type of open body, has remained in favor. Some notifications of arrangement have come in, however. Thus several cars have but two doors, one on one side leading to the front seats and the other on the other side, giving access to the tonneau- Several of the open and sedan types also have 8 passageway between the front seats ! a plan which gives feeling of socia- bility to the occupants of the cal and permits them to change seats much more readily than m the more conventional type of body.

Rev. Francis Rose Writes of Two Months, Floods in the Philippines Yaftie Woman's Guild Entertained Plans for Halloween Social.

Under date of September 8. Rev. Francis Rose writes from Iloilo, Phil fppines, that they are having great floods of rain in Manila and almost half of the city is under water, in some places four feet deep. Cars are stop ped. business shut down. and. even the boats could not leave on time De- clause the floods prevented them from getting their cargo aboard How, ever, they bring an enormous ma1l when they do come" he writes Tor we have been busy following the Empress of China ever since 1t ie.t San Francisco, in the papers. as it Is said that such a mail was aboard She arrived in Manila last Saturday and we are hoping our mail will be In this afternoon on the Coy. Forpes, as that boat left for Iloilo Sunday.
 F"O, how it Is raining! Twenty-six Inches of rain will fall in "A hours. It drives in every door and window on the rainy side, keeping us fuss1ng all the time with mops and rags. rms has been a daily occurrence the last two months. It ran over the cave troughs of the big school building. all round, in spite of the fact that We have six-inch down spouts at each end I am convinced of this now that there is no form of house construc- tion yet known to man that can keep the water out when rains come as they do here in layers of water ac : companied by cross current of air, driven at great velocity per hour. They gay we had more rainfall in the last two months than in the ten years pre- vaous." s5l
 For a month after war was declar- ed no mail steamer left Manila, and no letters from Rev. MT. Rose were received here. Then in ten days three letters came to his parents on Wauwe- cus Hill.

ible bodies for all weather purposes are growing in favor.
 Left hand steering and centralized control SC am to be gaining ground, and most of the makers who do not make this form standard at least make it optional. There is a marked tendency to group all of the instru- ments as near to the steering wheel or the drivers wheel as possible
 An automatic automobile jack has made its appearance as the latest thin in the accessory line. The new jack differs from other jacks on the il.sl. --et. It is entirely automatic in operation and is designed to support the entire weight of the car. It is intended for strain of the tires when the car is standing still.
 On the road the automatic jack would be of little service, but in- slafIed permanently in the owners garage, it is of great service in many ways, To lift the car on the jack the machine is simply driven over the run ners. and the momentum Of the car causes the carriage of the jack to IiSe lunQer the a-A.SS ana lift the car clear of the floor, with the four wheels about three inches off the ground.
 Most people have but the. vaguess idea of the tremendous amount of preparatory work and attendant ex- pense involved in the production of a new model motor car.
 The public is at a loss perhaps to understand why, in these days, changes in design. and construction are seldom radical. It perceives that most cars adhere pretty closely in their new models, to what has become, to them, standard design. Motor car makers who produce. in their own plants all the essential parts for tn ll cars have big investments in machin- lery equipment, and what may appear to the casual observer to be minor changes in construction often neces- State costly changes in plant equip Ment and operations For that reason many manufacturers prefer to avoid radical alterations in their cars
 | Aside from the point of improved appearance of the car on which they are and the other considerations urged ordinarily in favor of wire wheels there is a side of real practical value
 to them and big saving in having
 them on a car, in the opinion of tirt
 makers. Actual experiment and tes
 made by them shows a great increass in mileage obtained from exactly sim.
 liar tires, when one set is used or
 wire wheels and the other on wooder Ewhee1s.

 We are going to show Harvard the best we have. It is unfortunate f,,r Michigan that Hughitt and Splawn are not in the best condition anu 1t seems too bad that we can't have Galt in the lineup. But, in spite of these drawbacks, we are going to give those customers fight.''
