"SPOKETITE" IS BOON
TO OWNERS OF AUTOS

The tightening of loose wheels has
always been considered a job for the
blacksmith or some other mechanic.
But in recent years new method has
been evoved--quicker, easier and
cheaper it is claimed
BY this method anyone can tighten
loose, shrunken wheels. 1t requires
merely squirting a liquid compound
known as ''Spoketite" into the cracks
caused by the shrinkage This can
be done without removing the wheels
or any part of them.
The liquid penetrates the wood and
swells it to it's original condition, maxi
ing all the parts fit as tightly as when
new. This method has several advan-
tases over the other way. First. it
keeps the wheels from shrinking and
looscning again. Second, it prevents
further swelling in wet wAAther.
Spoketite may be used On antomo-
biles carriages and wagons not only
as wheel tightener. Dut also az Z
remedy for body squeaks."

Hitting Laurels.
GEORGIAN IS CHALLENGER

Tyrus Cobb, the super-man Of base
ball, will make the supreme effort Of
his career to regain his batting lau-
rels this season.
Only those who are close to the
great Detroit outfelder and who have
watched him perform season after
season realize the keen disappoint.
ment which came to him last fall
when he was compelled to remove his
batting crown and hand 1t to his
bosom friend, iris Speaker.
Cobb had led the American league
for nine consecutive seasons. His
ambition was to lead It for a decade
He failed and as he is now more than
so years old--and certainly not quite
as fast as he was three years ago.
there is virtually no chance that hi
can lead his league for span Of ten
years.
But Cobb, one Of the gamest bail
players that ever lived, is going I'd
try. He spent the winter in the open,
keeping his nerves steady, his body
strong and his eyes clear.
During the closing days Of 1915
Cobb might have added few points
to his batting average IL he had been
willing to sacrifice the element Of
teamwork. But he didn't, When De.
troit and Boston we're elinched in tho
struggle upon which the pennant hung
Cobb told newspaper men that
Speaker was the champion hitter, 50
far as he was concerned. Cobb had
to get hits and more hits to beat out
the sturdy Texan. Cobb buried his
ambitions, When he had chances to
get bases on balls he took them.
When the play called for bunt he
laid one down. He played the game.
Not that he cared for his batting av-
erage less-he cared for the pennant
more. .....
Now and then it has been said that
Cobb went back" as a batter last
year. His average was .37i, a mark
that in these days is rarely attained
even by star. The story of Cobb's
defeat Is entirely told In a sentence:
Speaker hit 1886. 1t was battle royal,
that struggle between fellow south-
erners. Neither asked for pitching
fayors; neither got them.
So the season of 1917 will have
added significance from the start

ball players are the best authority for
the statement that even umpires often
disagree as to the correctness of a

managers have achieved success by
methods which were sharply different
in detail is true also.
An example Of the latter case came
to light in Detroit. Three famous
stars of of two decades ago--Pop An

Colts; Charley Bennett, the Detroit
catcher, and Sam Thompson, the fa-
nous Detroit slugger-were watch
ing a game with Cleveland from a
box near the catcher.
Bobby Roth of the Cleveland team
was on third. He took big lead,
danced a moment on the line and
then-like a streak--raced for the

not successful, for Stanage had the
ball in plenty Of time.

SERIES OF FIGHTS
Two Teams Given Same Fran.
chise in Booster League
and War Starts.
SOME GAMES THROWN OUT
BY FRANK oU1GLEY.

Declarations Of hostilities by pro-
testing team managers made last
weeks meeting of the board OF direc-
tors OF the Omaha Amateur Base Ball
association resemble fve-reel thrill
er. 1t was full OF go" every minute.
All of the difficulties were settled
unanimously by the board, but only
after the parties involved had deliv-
cred long-winded orations.
One dispute involving the Booster
league and the Benson Merchants
gave the directors lot Of trouble.
Toward the end Of the season last
year the Benson Merchants were
granted a franchise in the Booster
league. They agreed to accept the
defeats Of the team they succeeded
and to remain in the league the rest
Of the season, no matter what their
position in the standing, providing
they were given the franchise in 1917.
When the Merchants applied for
their franchise this year, however, 1t
was denied. Later Manager Harry
Frost learned the Booster circuit was
shy one club, 50 he applied to Presi-
dent Verne Mclean and was given
the vacancy on April rs.
On April rs Samuel Moore, chief
of the Frank Deweys, interviews Viii.
liam Blozies, vice president OF the as
ISOLATION, and asked for the franchise.
He paid his dues and Blozies accepted
the money.
The board settled the subsequent
fuss by reinstating the Benson Mer-
chants and suggesting that the league
be extended to a nine-club circuit to
include the Deweys.
Game Thrown Out.
The protested game between the
Stays and Alpha camp, Woodnien OF
the World, which was originally cred
tied as a s to 5 victory for the Stays,
was thrown out and ordered replayed.
After hearing the evidence the judges
decided the game terminated with a
knotted score. The umpire admitted
his error.
A game between the Trimble Bros.
and Graham Ice Creams also was
thrown out.
This game was to have stopped at
$50. At that hour the Grahams were
leading, g to 7. But for some reason
or other the teams continued play and
in the final round the fruit vendors
held a field day and ran the score up
to II to 9 in their favor.
Directors questioned the managers
Of both teams, but each recited dit
ferent story. As it is impossible for
two teams to win the same game, the
board ordered the combat replayed.
Row in Mercantile.
A hot row is brewing In the Mer-
camille league. The manager OF the
Alpha camp, Woodmen of the World,
is destined to be the victim.
The Alpha camp leader has a num-
Der of former class A athletes on his
team and is said to have threatened
to corral several more Of the fast
boys. The rest of the league is up in
