not be made worse than 1t is right

deplorable condition. Take the

Near the old Goodrich or Reimer

travelled outside the Lincoln high :
way of any road in the county, and
for the past year it has been in the
worst condition, and has cost the
business men of Denison thousands
of dollars because the people in the
north end of the county could not
get to Denison and went else
where.

Specifications for 1920 jOO-Mile
Classic FOreshadOws Many

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July Is
Specifications announced for the
1920 500-mile race on the Indianap-
oils motor speedway foreshadoWs
sweeping changes in the field of
automobile racing with vitality i'm
portant consequences affecting the
trend of automOtive design in gen
eral predicted as certain to follow.
The specifications were decided
upon after an exhaustive investiga-
ton as to the line of development
that promised to be of greatest
benefit to automotive progress, in
volving consultation with engineers
and manufacturers both in this
country and in Europe, and are IL
pected to prove an impetus than
will result in the discovery OF
startlingly new and improved prin-
ciples Of gasoline locomotion, blaz-
ing the trail to the ultimate car
combining roominess and comfort
with light weight and low operating
and upkeep cost.
The detailed specifications are as
follows: Piston displacement, 1873
cubic inches; minimum weight, 100
pounds, with no ballast allowed
standard tread. Sc inches; beats
may be staggered s inches; right
hand drive; qualifying speed, aver
age so miles an hour for four laps
of the track, 10 miles.
These specifications, though few
and simple, are nevertheless all
embracing in their scope, directing
the activity of automobile racing
designers into entirely new chan
nels, at the same time imposing no
restrictions on their inventive abilr
ity within the limits assigned. me
problem now is to produce a car
with greater engine efficiency than
ever before, the high speed requir-
ed coupled with small engine size
setting a task to test the skill OF the
worlds greatest designers at the
same time requiring them to build
g car that will be practicable, road
worthy vehicle in every sense, cap
able of application to the field OF
passenger car construction, this
feature being insured by the min
imum weight restriction OF 100
pounds, and the provision for
standard tread.
staggering of the seats is to give
the driver more room, at the same
time permitting the body to be
made as narrow as possible to re-
duce wind resistance, also to move
the mechanic back to where he can
observe three of the four tires. the
two in the rear and the left front.
Right hand drive is specified mas
much as on speedways cars always
pass to the right, and left hand
drive would therefore be danger

The Speedway's announcement
procludes all chance of converted
light cars now in existence being
entered for the 1920 classic. cars OF
this type being considered incapable
of producing anything Of profit to
the advancement of automobile de
sign. and being effectually barred
by the restrictions governing speed
and minimum weight. A fresh ina
fusion of inventive discovery into
the field of engineering knowledge
is what the Indianapolis speedway
seeks to stimulate, and its 1920
specifications have been carefully
drawn with this in view.

CUBS WIN WITH
ALEX ON MOUND
Big Twirler's Arm Returns to Form
Sufficient to Tame the Braves
by Score TO 3.

Boston, Mass, July 16. - After
nursing a sore wing for four weeks,
G. Cleveland Alexander toted it to
the slab yesterday and found it
good enough to subdue the Braves
to the tune of to in the third
game of the campaign here.
Alexander was not right with an
upper case R, but pIentifully equip
ped to resist all attempts to drive
him from his position and the Cubs
made it as easy as possible for the
sergeant by whaling Hugh Nc
Quillin off the diamond in the
fourth inning. Nor were they at
all considerate of the feelings of
Fillingham, who took up the lost
cause.
The Braves opened on Alex the
Great as if they intended to. make
him take another month of rest,
but he stopped them with one run
in the first spasm and before they
got their other tally the Cubs were
securely ensconced in the front
seat. Along later in the game, in
the eighth to be specific, Alex lost
the range for a brief period and
when he did find It a boot by Hol-
locher gave the Braves a slight
chance to stage a rally, but it never
came off.
Threatening weather was all
that reached this town. out of the
storm which wrecked the rest of
the National league schedule, and
the crowd was small; consequent
ly the Cubs gained on everybody
else in the circuit without gaining
any material reward for their eff
forts.
Two were out in the first round
before Powell pinched off a three
Dagger over Magee's head and
Smith pulled a double inside of
third base, scoring the first Brave
tally. Alex got Holke and held the
enemy down to nothing for the
next three rounds.
The Cubs were kept from break
ing into the run column in the
second by some dump work on the
bases by Deal, but Charley made
up for that in the fourth and sixth
by singing out a single and three
Dagger where they counted. Pick
started the second with a walk and
Deal tried to sacrifice, but was safe
on a wild throw by McQuillan,
which let Pick go to third. Mann
popped a little fly to right field,
on witch Pick had no chance to
score. PowelI's throw home was
by Maranville, who re-
layed it back to first in time to nip
Deal, who had strayed too far off
that cushion. Score:

CicOtte in Excellent Form Allows
Boston Only Five Hits, and

: Chicago, July 16.-One of those
old time seventh inning rallies did
it for the White Sox yesterday
When that round arrived Boston
had the ball game / to in it's
favor, and everybody stood up for
a rally, and after two were out Joe
jackson hit one that tied the score.
His blow mussed things up to such
a degree that before the round was
ended the Sox had scored three and
won the game. 10 l.
It was as nice a rally as one
could hope to see, and it was done

White Sox were threatening from
the first round on, but not until the
seventh did they make good. Bos-
ton scored one run in the first in

slab. He is the James who has

to Boston, and has been hanging on.
Yesterday he was in a pitching
mood, and appeared as if about to
give the aspiring south s.ders a
severe jolt.
Eddie CiCOtte was on the rubber
for Chicago and was tapped for a
run in the first inning. t. all in
dications, Boston couldn't have
made another run off him before
the season closed. but it did look
for a while as if that one they
already had made would be enough
to win the game. Anyway, this
big fellow James was buzzing them
through and getting by round after
round, and the one run scored in
the first was getting bigger and big
ger.
Then came the seventh. The
crowd arose at it always arises in
the seventh Memo Liebold was at
bat. He tried, but his best was a
pop foul which Schang caught close
to the stand E. Collins was next.
He waited and waited. and finally
drew a base on balls. That brought
some hope but it was diminished
when Weaver's best was a tap to
the pitcher. Buck was out and Ed
die was on second.
At that instant along came Joe
jackson, who hadn't made base
hit all afternoon, and Joe was in a
hitting mood. He is supposed to
be the great slugger of the Sox, and
the fans hope for great things
whenever. he comes to bat.
In this instance Joe just took a
glance at the first ball pitched and
decided to smack it. He did. I'll
went on a line to the wall in right,
away down by the foul line, and it
was lucky for Mr.. Hooper that he
wasn't playing close to the line,
because this ball was on it's way
like a cannon ball 1t would have
been no sport trying to stop it.
