Two years ago at this cate the Cubs,
carrying a percentage of 56S in the Ma
tional League, we're a poor third.
Today any club with a percentage OF
.56S would come near wrecking the dad

Stuff that was of no vgiIe last year
may be worth mint next season. .N
1t must have been a terrible blow to,
Fred Snodgrass to be forced upon the
Braves with an inside shot at that extra
5000 dispensed around world series time,
Terrible, indeed ta
And the chances arc that if Col. Snod-
grass gets In another world series against
the Red Sox and another fly ball worth

not only employ the single and double
grab, but also his teeth and toes in meet

HAS OVER $4,000 CARS
Total in Kansas Expected to Reach
$4,000 Before Year Closes.

When records in the state automo-
bile department are closed tonight, it
is probable that $4,000 motor car own
ers in Kansas will have purchased
state licenses. At non today the num-
Der of automobiles registered by the
state totalled 1880.
Last year the total number of tags
issued in Kansas was little more than
$4,000. This year it has been esti-
mated that the number of cars in the
state will reach the $4,000 mark. The
new tags were issued July l and since
that time virtually $4,000 have been
purchased. It is now probable that
the total for the year will pass the
$4,000 mark.
