St Louis 9, Pittsburgh Z.
In the next four days the White
Soxhave an excellent opportunity to
tighten up the race in the American
league. Detroit will be here for a
quartet of engagements, and at pres
ent the Tigers lead the locals by
three games. New York, in second
place, is two games back of Detroit.
The Jennings gang will take lot
of punishment before hating right
now. Hughie has the happy faculty
of getting his men out in front each
spring, but this season they seem. to
have more stability. The pitching is
better than any Tiger crew has re-
ceived for four years, and the batting
is the same old smashing attack.
Veach has lined up besides Cobb and
Crawford and is pacing step for step
and hit for hit with this pair of mas
todonic maulers. ..-...
But the RoWiands are no easy prop
osition. There is greater batting
strength present than South Side
fans have seen for many years. 1t
does not rely on the pitchers blank
ing the enemy in order to cop pas,
time every few days. A goodly pro-
portion of the victories so far have
been earned by sound clubbing,
though in the past few games the
pitching has improved greatly.
Rowland faces the Detroit series
with Faber, Russell, Benz, Wolfgang
and possibly Scott in prime condi-
ton. Jasper can also be relied on for
a well-pitched game if the older fell
lows fall down on their assignments.

THE BATTLE Of
THE TIRES

JUL u6O
Agricultural and Commercial Press service1
1t is interesting to watch the forces
of civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the TWEEN
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
flict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the wal of Europe.
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
ing for point Of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim-
portant positions in traffic. but it has
now pitched a decisive battle with
its iron competitor by hurting a mil
lion "jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle Is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result Of the
struggle depends the future Of the
rubber tire. If 1t is compelled to re-
treat. its doom is sealed, but if 1t wins
the battle it will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation.
1t the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads Of the country. and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
OF this earth is on. for iron is the I'M
disputed master in transportation, and
Is fortified behind billions Of dollars,
and millions of men. I.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire ffty-ave
years to creep from ocean to ocean.
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind Of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys.
ses. The roadbed was already pre-.
pared and therein lies the power Of
the rubber tire over that of iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron is a stubborn metal and
It has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wermwood
Of defeat. and when rubber hurls it's
full force against this monarch Of
the Mineral Kingdom, it may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov.
cry.
The rubber tire first made It's ap-
pearance on the bicycle. but it proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for incompetency. It has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland. 1t is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ.
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why a city? 1t will traverse the con.
tinent with a net work Of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will par.
alyze the law making bodies OF this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate
on?
