Motor Car Without Wheels.

A motor car without wheels has been designed for passing over rough ground and climbing steep hills. In stead of wheels the car has three parallel pairs of runners. resembling those of sledges. except that they are movable. As soon as the motor is started one pair Is raised, moved for ward. and set on the ground, and these movements are initiated by the sue ceeding runners. The car always rests on two pairs, and by means of the forward motion of the runners also moves forward. On an inclined plano at an angle of 45 degrees the new ve- hicle climbed to the top and descended on the other side.

The writer, Not Collins, Guilty

The efforts of some sporting writer's to
construct "stories' from material gath
cred from the surrounding atmosphere in
dlcate two things: First that the writer
not only has glaring disregard for the
truth but that he is even willing to in
jure the standing of person In COM
munity for the sake of putting over
fake STORY" The dispatch which came
from Detroit purporting to give portion
of Eddie Collins letter to Eddie Cicotte
was false from start to finish Eddie Col
Inns wrote to Eddie Cicotte thanking the
lins) a message of congratulation when
he was sold to Comiskey. But he did not
say in that letter that he was glad to
be AWAY from Mack's team. He did not
intimate that he wanted to leave Phila-
delphia because the fans were not appre-
ciative. Cicotte no doubt, in an unguard-
ed moment. dropped the information in
the presence of quack sporting writer
that he had received a letter from Col
Inns. That writer took 1t upon himself
to write a quotation which contained not
one iota of truth. 1t made the fans OF
Philadelphia who have always been loyal
to Collins angry and no matter what is
stated later there will always be some
people here who believe that Collins
wrote that letter and who will be his
enemies. And all because some one writing
a story in Detroit has regard neither for
truth nor for the feelings of an Individual
Such person, II his identity were known,
should be barred in the future from writ
ing anything whatever. Any man who

ing should at least stand on his merits

Was Mr.. Wright. All Right

This is a true story of baseball and golf
that interests tennis players because its
hero Is George Wright, whom many low.
! ers of the game believe to be the step
father If not the real father, of American
lawn tennis.
| Wright was playing a round at golf with
the veteran tennis player, j, Parmly
| Paret, at the Columbia Country Club
| links In Washington some years ago. As
they came up to the last hole they found
two strangers on a bench near the tee
watching the play. Said one to his friend
quite audibly, as he saw George step up
to drive:
"Why, that mans the perfect image of
George Wright, the old baseball player"
Just then Wright drove off long true
ball
And he drives like Wright used to bat,
too" the stranger added.
Amused at the mistake" George
winked, and Paret asked the speaker:
who was this George Wright you are
speaking off"
Have you never heard of George
Wright the greatest man who ever threw
baseball? Why, he was one of the orig
inal Providence team, way back 30 years
ago. There's never been another bah
player in the country since as good as he
was. 1 can tell you. Why, he could pitch,
and bat and run bases better than any of
these players you see on the diamond to-
day"
Did you know Wright" asked the gen
uine George.
did know him? WE'LL I guess I ought
to know him after playing three years on
the same team with him." replied the
stranger. Wright was our pitcher Smith
was our catcher" and he went on to name
the whole team, ending, land 1 played
right field"
What's your name?" asked Wright.
Ford" was the reply.
Paret had driven off by this time and
the two started on. Paret looked appeal,
ingly at the veterans ball player, bul
George shook his head and modestly went
on without allowing the stranger to know
who he was.
Why didn't you let me tell hIm?" asked
Paret, after they were out of earshot.
Because he was lying" said George
VINO was always a great lover of pure
truth Il knew every man we'll who ever
played on the Providence team, and that
fellow was not one of them. Besides, that
was all 80 years ago, and he didn't look n
day over 40. He must have been a little
hoy when / was playing baseball.
But the funniest part of it was that hs
named every player right until he came
to right field; but no man named Ford
ever played that position"
And to this day, unless he reads these
lines that man does not know that he was
talking TO the real George Wright all the
time.

The Same Old Story

Once again--for the thousandth or more
time-New York has blazed the trail to
the goal of real journalism, according to
Metropolitan ideals. These ideals consist
IN giving the public a good yarn whether
II Is based on facts or fancy. 1t is a
great system for space writer's. II gives
them unlimited opportunities, and stimu-
lates their imagination beyond belief, The
latest. but unfortunately we fear not the
last, story of this character came out
yesterday. when Ii was stated Eddie Col
1ins would play with the New York YAM
KEGS. The reasons given were that Col
Inns was needed as n drawing card; that
he was bought by Comiskey in Chicago
for the sole purpose OF ofrsettlng Walter
johnson, who at that time was supposed
to be q member of the Chicago Federal
League Club When Johnson jumped
hack 10 Washington, so the story goes,
Comlskey wanted 10 get rid OF Collins.
aud after Rupert and Huston had bought
the Yankees they agreed to take him.
But
Connie Mack says the story Is absurd.
