SPEEDWAY OWNERS
WILL COOPERATE
IN STAGING RACES

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, June 26.
The Speedway Association of Am
erica recently formed to control auto
racing on the speedways of seven cit
les throughout the country marks a
new era in automobile racing. The
Association, which is broadly defined
as a gentleman's agreement among
the promoters to avoid conflict of
dates, excess bidding for entries and
other features where cooperation is
more effective than strife, includes
speedways at Indianapolis, Chicago
New York, Omaha, Sioux City, Min
neapolis and Tacoma with Detroit as a
possible member of the near future.
The organization as composed al
present represents seven speedways
with total seating capacity of close
to 100000 and Is miles of track. Mor4

Like the Pittsburgh ball il has a
one-piece cover and measures ten
inches in circumference. The contest
in which this ball, now preserved by Il
coating of gold leaf and suitably in
scribed, was used in a game that was
played on Boston Commons and was
won by Portland, AZ to AZ. The match
was memorable in other respects
since it was the first played under the
nine-inning rule and the first in which
the pitcher was permitted to pitch in
stead of being forced to use the toss or
underhand throw.

HISTORIC BASEBALL
INSURED BY OWNER
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, June 26.-Veteran base
ball fans, whose memories carry them
to the early days of the National
Game, are discussing the recent re-
port from Pittsburg that the oldest
baseball in existence had been insured
for $1,000 against loss by fire or bur-
glary. This sphere, which IS covered
by one piece of horsehide sewed in
the center, is said to be fifty-three
years old, having made its initial ap-
pearance in game played between
the Eclipse Club of Kingston, N. Y,
and the Hudson team of Newburgh, N.
Y, on June 20, 1862, which was won
by Kingston players 49 to IS.
While this ball is undoubtedly one
of the old time spheres it is not the
oldest by some years if the records re-
garding this department of baseball
can be relied upon. A baseball which
ante-dates the Pittsburgh one by five
years is, or was, until recently, in tn 2
possession of P. NJ. White of Empor-
ia, Kansas. This sphere was used in
what is claimed to be the first cham
pionship game ever played in this
country. 1t figured in the contest be-
tween the Tri-Mountain club of Bos-

Many physicians, especially in the

probably in these cases no readjust-

MOULTRIE, Ca, June 26.-Within
the next few days long trains carrying
hundreds of Georgia watermelons will
begin leaving this section of the state.
For the melon season will soon be
under way. Five cars were shipped
from Cotton today by E. w. Tucker.
He gathered them from a field con-
tanning fifty acres and they brought
$175 a car f. O. b. the shipping point.
The crop this year is late, fully ten
days later than usual, but shipments
from Moultrie and nearby towns will
begin in earnest by Monday and will
be kept up until well into July. 1t is
said that the crop is good this year and
it is believed that the price will con-
tinue fairly good, at any rate. Those
in position to know state that between
four and five hundred cars OF melons
will be shipped from Colquitt county.
This county will contribute at least
three thousand acres to the joys of
living and incidentally drag down
many hundreds of dollars if things
don't happen to go wrong with the
melon market during the next few
days.
The canteloupe crop in Colquitt
county is pretty large this year. Can
teloupes haven't begun to move very
fast yet, but car load shipments will b.
