The standard tire companies yesterday
advanced their prices. The increase is
10 per cent on the so-called popular sizes
aud about % per cent on the odd sizes.
The reason given for the advance was
the increase in the price of raw material,
due to shortage caused by the war. For
so me time the report has been out that
there would be an advance.

After nearly doubling the figures
that have, for three years, represen-
ted the motor nonstop record, the
created a complete set of long dis

Angeles. The MaxwelFs motor non-
stop record is 22,o22.3 miles. This re-
places a former record of 12.404s
miles.
The end of the run was almost a
civic holiday in Los Angeles. Thou
sands gathered at the appointed place
choking traffic and rendering the new
endurance champion and its crew an
ovation new in the annals of motor
ing. Mayor Sebastian, of Los Angeles
himself stepped to the drivers seat
and switched off the ignition. For the
first time in nearly forty-four day the
Maxwell motor missed its life-giving
spark and stopped.
Officially, the run was declared end
ed. Practically, 1t will continue fol
many more days, as the car was inn
mediately re-started and left for a
triumphal tour through Southern Cali
fornia and Arizona, where 1t will be
shown to thousands of enthusiast tic
motorists who have watched it's pro.
gress to its championship.
That the run might have continu ed
indefinitely without a motor stop was
the belief of the Maxwelrs crew and
the official A. A.. A. observers. Al
demonstration of its perfect condi-
tion, the final days run was made the
longest and fastest of the entire forty
four, which comprises the whole trip
During this twenty-four hours. the
car covered 562.5 miles. At no tims
in the tour was the cars average be-
low 500 miles a day. This fact re-
suited in its annexing all long dis.
tance records from. 1000 miles upward
thus adding to the laurels of the new

Young Jimmy also was helped into the game by his brother Mike, who made him the great catcher that he is today. Mike believes in starting the boys young, and when Jimmy was IS and able to throw @ ball at a fair rate of speed and wasn't afraid to stop the fast ones. Mike brought him to Utica and used him in a game now and then. Jimmy showed greater adept ness at playing shortstop than at any other position and the following sea- son he developed so quickly that he practically became the regular short stop. He batted .220 in 1914 and in 1915 he. hit .26e, an improvement of 46 points in 8 single season.
 Jimmy looks like a promising youngster. He is quiet, steady boy with sturdy frame. about feet 10 A inches in height, and weighs about 166 pounds. He bats and throws right right handed. Playing second base is new work for him, but he is getting on to the job easily and seems likely to make good with Buffalo.
 There are five boys in all in the O'Nei1 family, and only one, Pat, has closed his ears te the call of the game-but not entirely, for Pat is manager of an amateur team in Min noolza, on which Mike McNally and Charley Shorten of the Red Sox and Steve O'Neil1 got their start.

YANKEES DEFEAT
 JOHNSON TO TAKE TWO IN AFTERNOON

New York. June 24-The return of Smiling Bill Donovan and his Yam kees to the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon was an occasion of great joy to the many thousands assem b1ed there. New York jolted Washington out of second position in the close American league race, dropped the Senators to fourth position and as sumed third rating for themselves as the result of winning both sections of a double header. The opening contest was a close ft-a 6 to trick. The second was a wa1kover, to 1.
 But in trimming Walter Johnson, a wizardry over them, the legion of Donovan did rise indeed to the most exalted heights. Donovan made the triumph all the more glowing through taking the measure of the Idaho Swede with colt pitching, and after Walter Johnson had been staked to the generous handicap of four runs before he pitched a ball.
 The second game saw the downfall of southpaw Harry Harper of the Sen ators a person who had proven un- usually ferocious in former engage ments with the Yankees, Also the exaltation of our good southpaw, Nick Cullop, who hadn't lost a game all season when he started and who hasn't lost one yet.
 It was Cu11op's seventh consecutive victory of the year and one of the very easiest. Usually the big hearted south paw is asked to face the toughest games opponents can provide.

MUlRENNAN'S GOOD
 PITCHING WASTED

If anybody /could get any sa.tisfac- ton from such a dark brown contest as yesterdays at Newfield park it was in watching Mulrennan pitch. The young Bridgeport hurler gave a fine exhibition and deserved a. shut out. He allowed Lowell only three hits but the visitors beat Bridgeport to 8 largely through the errors of Manning and Curry.
 Manning let Greenha1ge's single go through him for 8 home run in the fourth and in the eighth Curry first muffed Greenha1ge's fly and then threw wide of the plate, two runs. scoring. Red Whalen had an off day. at shortstop, booting three chances but. his nnisp1ays were not so costly.

LEONARD OUTPOINTS VIC
 MORAN EASILY

New York June 24-Freddie Welsh, of England, lightweight champion or the world, sat in a ringside box at the Harlem Sporting club in 135th street. last night, and looked on with inter est as Benny Leonard ,one of the leading aspirants for the English mans honors, gave Vic Moran of New Orleans a boxing lesson, and then at the concluding bell cheered his rival out of sight.
 Boxing lesson apt1y describes the ex- htbition, for Leonard's superior knoWl- edge of the finer points of boxing was so evident throughout that, with the exception of a few occasions when he would spurt desperately, Moran look ed like the veriest of novices- Leonard, Judging from his CO 7itio-- last night and the excellent form he displayed, evidently trained harder for this bout than he did for the recent affair with Johnny Dundee, and it must be said that he looked physically perfect.
 His weight was announced as 134 pounds, stripped ringside, and during the whole contest he went along in that easy, smooth way that is. char acteristic of his boxing, and at the final bell, despite the fact that he had carried a fast pace from start to finish, he was not showing any i11-effects. Leonard won the honors in every one of the ten rounds There is no gainsaying that point, but that does not tell the story by any means Moran with stinging left and right hand jabs, never lost confidence, but kept com ing in steadily, aWkwardly trying to land on any part of his adversary s anatomy. It was this feature that | helped to make it one of the most in- | teresting contests staged ~at the liar | lem club, and the crowd was generous
 in it's applause for the game little southerner.

DWELL. FAMILY TURNED OUT MANY
 STARS IN BASEBALL

Although one often hears of farnf- lies of actors, musicians. doctors, law yeFs and even tai1ors and shoe1nakers. one seldom finds families of profes- sional baseball players. and especially rare is 8 family of ba1lplayers more than one of whom has made good on big league teams. The Delehantys are probably the most celebrated of these raFities but the O'Nei1Is of Minooka, Pa. are pressing them closely for honoFs,
 The burden of upholding the glory of the o'Neills. which, depending largely on his work may rival the ae- cempiishnents Of the Delehantys, rests with Jimmy O'Neil1, the young est of the boys, who is to play second base and who, according to his work in ths spring training thus far, will play 1t well it eaB be played in the Inter national leagHs. Jimmy is only 21 years old and already has had l three years of work iR professional | baseball, sufficiently good to warrant kthe Red Sox putting a string on him. l He gives every indication of fulfilling I the task put before him by his very successful brothers.
 The first of the O'Neil1s was Jef1n | the catcher, who was blinded in one l eye during game in Boston in 1905. 1 Shortly after John entered the game, | his brother Mike broke into pfofes- l sieFla1 baseball and the two formed a 1 battery, Old-ti7ne fans will recall the 1 O'Neill battery which gained pFerni- ReRee with the St. Louis Nationals l from 1900 ta 1902. Curious1y enough, from manager ia those days was none l other than Patrick J, Donovan, the
 leader of the Bisens, who is now
 starting another O'Neil1 on the road l to baseball success.
 John O'Neil1 was traded to the Cubs along with MordecaI Brown in 1909 for Jack Taylor, the phenomenal pitcher. His injury in Boston In 1906 resulted in his retirement from the game. Mike O'Neil1 remained with
 St, Louis for many years, long after | Pat Donovan left it. In 1909 O'Neil
 was sent to Montreal. The following
 year he became manager of the Ell
 mira team in the State league. IT
 1911 he joined the Utica team 2
 player, and the following year he was
 made manager of the team. He leo
 the squad for three years, finishing
 one-tWo-three in the percentage col
 ump. Last year he managed Syracus'
 and he has the Salt City team under
 his wing again this season.
 Just as soon as Mike was relegatet to the minors, Steve O'Neiu, IT year-o1a kid, broke into the game 1 His brother, Mike, took him up to Fl , mira for kpockabout purposes , Toward the middle Of the season botl l of his regular catchers were hurt ant Mike decided to give his 17-year-ot, brother chance.

At Whee1eF's lot tomorrow afternoon the fans will see the crack Rosebud team clash with the Remington Arms, champions of the Factory league, line up against the fast travel ing Rosebuds.
 The Resebuds have won every game so far this season and they are out to get the guRTnakers. Kohout, who famed fl of the MonaFch's and gave them two hits. wi1I iR all probability, work on the mound against the gun makers. Manager "Chic4z'' Balky of the ''buds'' has had his team out every night this week getting them into shape for the battle. Mydock, who is at present leading the Factory league in hitting, will be seen in a Rosebud uniform.
 Field Manager Murphy will be in charge of MT. Mack's team and he promises to put out the same team that has done credit to the Factory League. He will have that SC much talked of infie1d, which is in class by itse1f. Either 'tChief'' McGuire or for the Arms boys.
 Kellau worked on the mound for the Subway Giants of New York and also for Mike Donlin's team. Mcclure has been pitching for the Cherokee Indians and in the Pennsylvania State League.
 The field will be all roped off and preparations are being made to ac- comm modate a large crowd.

 Manager Ball sent Dick O'Connor the new catcher, to bat for Mulrennan in the eighth. OConnor beat out hit to the infield and got around af- pass to Curry and Henderson's error huff of Balls fly.
 Joe Briggs, the veteran Lowell out fielder, isn't much of a hitter now but he is still a great fielder. He took a single away from Whalen by a superb one hand catch in the fifth.
 Harvard appears to be rubbing salt into Yale's wounds. After beating the Blue in football by Al to 0, the liar yard boys took the baseball series and Thames. Better coaching is the an- swer.
 The New York Americans made a good investment when they bought Nick Cullop from the Federals. The southpaw has won seven games for the Yankees and has yet to lose a bat tie. It was Lee Magee who tipped the | Yankee owners about Cuuop and even if Magee hasn't done much so far his employers owe him something for thai | tip.
