Renewing Carbon Paper.

!, When carbon paper has been used
several times the preparation becomes
almost worn of on some parts, while
other parts Of the paper are as good
as new. The process Of renewing
is very simple, and It can be done by
anyone without special apparatus. All
that is necessary is to hold the paper
in front Of fire or over q radiator
a few seconds. The heat will cause
the preparation to dissolve and spread
over the paper, SO that when it is
dry the paper will have new coating.
This can be repeated, and in some
cases will double the life of the car

OAKLAND BOY IN THE VAN
Captures 1903 Trot and Adj
vances to Premier Position.

With only one matinee remaining
before the champions of the Speedway,
in the pacing and trotting divisions
will be decided, the racing yesterday
was the best of the season.
When the brushing began three trot-
tiers, Denver, Oakland Boy and Bessie
Baron. were tied with 81 points. Oak
land Boy accounted for the feature
class of the programme by taking the
1903 trot, and advanced to premier po-
sition with 26 tallies.
Courier Boy, fourth on the list,
driven by J. =. Kennedy, was first in
the 1905 trot, and advanced to second
place in the standing, with Denver
and Bessie Baron still tied for third
place with % points.
Glover Patch, four time champion az
the PAGERS, has gathered in 80 points,
sufficient TO land the honors of the divi-
sion without further effort
The 1903 trot furnished the best
racing of the afterE DON, with Oakland
Boy the victor. In winning the first
heat in 1:02 Denver made a close fin
ish, losing only by inches, but had to
be content with third place in the sec
ond an final heat, with Ctstle Dome
second by length in l:04.
Kitty Oakland, brown mare driven
by &. Gall, won the los trot, which
required four heats for a decision, and
Billy Mccain was compelled to go a
like number Of heats before taking the
blue ribbon in the l:l0 trot.

LIGHT WINDS MAR RACES
Old Mill Yacht Club Holds Re-
gatta on Jamaica Bay.

Yacht racing on Jamaica Bay start
ed yesterday afternoon, under the di-
rection of the Old Mill Yacht Club Of
Pleasant Point. The squall CT the
early morning practically killed the
wind, and, as a result, the sailing di-
visions had considerable difficulty In
covering the course.
In the small cabin sloop division
the winner was the Mary B., which
had a sail-over, and in the cabin cat
boat class under twenty-five feet the
Clara May won a similar prize. In q
special knockabout class the winner
was the Clinco, and among the sarpies
the Rover took first prize. Although
the Turtle was the first of the turtle
boats to finish, the craft was disquali-
fed for making wrong start, and
the prize was awarded to the Bull
Pup.
Among the power boats the Scala
wag was the winner among the cabin
cruisers, and the Smarty in the open
boat class. In the standing cabin and
falf-cabn class and in the larger
open boat class the winners were not
announced, as the ratings of all Of
the craft were not known. In the
former division the May II. was the
first boat home and the Anna Grace
led the fleet in the other division.
Thomas King, president of the Yacht
Racing Association, acted as chairman
of the regatta committee. He was
assisted by Commodore c. II. Greene.

DISBANDS AFTER A
VICTORIOUS SEASON
Tufts Nine Won II and
Tied One Game Out
of Twenty.

After cleaning up the baseball teams
representing the best college mines
through the South on its annual train
ing trip and doing almost as we'll
throughout its entire season in the
North, the Tufts baseball team has
disbanded with the prestige of being
known as the best baseball! team that
Tufts ever turned out.
It's record of seventeen victories over
representative combinations, with only
one tie and two defeats during the
entire season, is the best Of any col
/ lege team in the country for the 1915
| season.
As a nearly perfect fielding and heady
/ base running team the Tufts team has
won itself renown during the last sea-
son. It's two victories over Holy Cross,
its double success over Dartmouth, its
defeat of the hitherto unbeaten Mount
/ st. Joseph nine, its overwhelming vic
tory over Georgetown and its decisive
| conquest Of Yale on Ysle's home field
have all served to give Tufts a name
in the college baseball world.
Tho hitting Of the Tufts team is
away above the average, with the lead
er batting over 400 and the next four
men well over the 300 mark.
The brilliant work Of Volk on first,
who made only seven errors out of 2S7
| chances on the initial sack, was q big
factor in the series Of victories. The
big first baseman made PIG put outs
and eleven assists. Behind the bat
Ralph Carroll let only three balls get
away all season. He made 1875 put outs
and sixteen assists. On the bases Stat
| ford and Lee led with ten stolen sacks
each.
/ Stafford, the fast second basemar,.
/ proved himself the greatest run getter
| By getting across the pan successfully
/ twentyfour times. His nearest com
petitor was Armstrong, with twenty
runs.
Starting the season with two veteran
pitchers-Ray Krepps, the husky south
paw, and Walter Whitaker, the crack
midget pitcher-a find was made in
. OMarra, freshman southpaw. Whit
taker pitched ten games, winning nine
and GROWING his string by a victory
over Yale. Krepps twirled eight con-
tests. winning seven. and 0Marra
| pitched in two games, showing fine
form both times.
With only the loss Of Captain Lee
from third base and George Angel
from left field, the Tufts team of next
year probably will be made up almost
wholly Of veterans of the last season.
The batteries have another year TO
play, Nolk, Armstrong and Stafford be-
ing now juniors. Westcott, Leland and
Anderson are left in the outfeld.

Cub Pitcher Forgets Pass to
Zimmerman and Spells a
Double Play.
tBy Telegraph TO The Tribune. ]

Chicago, June 20.-Bunching seven
hits, including three home run drives,
off Aitchison in the first four innings,
the Cubs won an easy victory over the
Superbas to-day. The score was to l..
Chicago made clean sweep of the
series, one game of which was post
poned.
Brooklyn was unable to do much
with the southpaw offerings of Pierce,
and would have >>n shut out but for
a bonehead play by Pierce himself in
the last inning.
Schultz, Safer and Phelan made their
home runs good for four Of Chicago's
six tallies, and sewed up the game
early. The two left-handed batsmen
pulled their round-trip blows against
the score board on the short right field
fence in the first inning. Phelan made
his on a drive through left centre in
side the lot, but faster work by Myers
might have stopped him at third base.
After the fourth inning Aitchison was
air tight, and allowed the Cubs only
one hit.
The fact that the heavy slugging to-
day was accomplished by left-handed
hitters, with the exception of Phelan's
four-base drive, indicates that the prac-
tice of sending all possible southpaws
against the Bresnahsn team is begin
ming to have its effect. The left-hand-
ed hitters, of whom there are five in
the regular Cub lineup, are becoming
so accustomed to facing southpaw
curves that they no longer lack conf
dence in their ability to hammer them.
OF late the right-handed pitchers have
been having better success against Chi
cago than the left-handers.
Schultz started the scoring to-day
with a drive against the score board
after two were out in the first inning.
McLarry beat out an infield hit, and
Safer drove another home run against
the score board, putting the Cubs three
runs to the good. A single by Phelan.
a boot by Aitchison, which gave Pierce
a life, md pass to Good filled the
bases in the second, with one out.
Fisher scored two runs with a single to
left. Phelan drove his home run be-
tween Myers and Wheat, with the bases
empty, in the fourth inning.
The Superbas made three scattered
hits off Pierce in eight innings, and
eight of them struck out in that time
Cutshav opened the ninth with a high
fly, which Good misjudged and then lost
lear the stand. Wheat singled, and
w. Zimmerman was passed, filling tie
bases, with nobody out. Miller hit
sharply to Pierce, giving him an easy
double play by way of the plate. In
stead, Pierce leisurely threw the ball
to third, forcing Wheat and letting
Cutshaw score. Pierce explained ne
had forgotten about the base on balls,
believing he had Zimmerman struck
out.
