THE
U. S. NoBBY TREAD

Where the going is specially heavy
with snow, mud or sand, in hilly
country where maximum traction on
the road is a factor, no other tire tread
yet devised is quito go effective, or so
wholly approved by motoring opin-
ion, as the U. S. Nobby Tread.
It's very simplici.y-three rows Of
diagonal knobs, gripping the road
Is the result of all the years Of U. S.
Rubber experience with every type

Brown Makes Change in
State Fair Racing Card;
Big Purses This Season

Secretary I. Newt Brown Of the State
board OF agriculture has announced a
change of events for trotters on the State
fair racing card, moving the ? IA trot
back from Monday to Thursday and ad-
vancing the 2:12 trot up to Monday from
Thursday to balance the card.
OF the eighteen races listed sixteen are
for purses of LOCO each. the two excep-
tons being the classes for 3-year old
:25 trotters and the Syear-old 2:15
PAGERS, which Will race for 500 each
Labor day, the opening day, has classes
for 2 % and 2:12 trotters and 2:17 and
% PAGERS. For Tuesday classes for
90 and 20 trotters and . 0S and , IA
PAGERS are on. On Wednesdays program
appear events for IL and "a trOtters
~ and 2:1S PAGERS. The first extreme
speed class shows on Thursday in the
> :O5 trot. which. with the , IA and 2:l6
trots and the 2:20 pace, comprise the
card. The concluding day has free-for-
all and the two juvenile events
Provisions which were instituted by
the late Secretary Kepfedy are apparent
on the program, prominent among which
is that for 3 per ceuN entrance, with nc
deductions made from money winners
The late secretary was contender Tor
lower entrance fees and the three heal
plan, both ideas of which were inCOrpO
rated in late State fair race cards. The
change In the expenses 10 horsemen Is
easy TO see.
In events such as are given az the
fair with 81 900 purses under the plan
that prevailed until recently at nearly al
fairs. the fee being per cent the horse
men would be compelled to pay $50 "a
start aud IN case Of winning money
there were fifty more taken from the
gross of his winnings. Under the pres
ent plsn a payment Of $50 is all that is
required.
The local meeting viii have some i'm
pOrtant meetings 10 clash with in dates
The Connecticut fair. in the East, hei1
at Hartford, Conn, has Grand Circuit
membership, but viii have little effect
on the stables usually coming here. How
ever, in the West the big Minnesota state
fair is on the same dates, also the Nichi-
gan State fair at Detroit, and the Ne
braska State fair at Lincoln.
Thus, the chances for large fields are
not as good as with some weeks, ethel
preceding or following.

MAY BACK WILSON STAND.

CHICAGO, July SO-Replying to a
query regarding the stand to be taken
by the Wisconsin boxing commission on
the Wilson Downey mixup at Cleveland.
Walter n. Ltginger, chairman OF the
board. replied as follows.
The Wisconsin boxing NcommisSlon
has not given the Wilson-Downey affair
at Cleveland any consideration as yet,
nor viii IL unless requested TO do so. AZ
soon an an official report of the affair
is available I will submit the matter to
the members Of the National Boxing As
sociation. Wisconsin will abide by the
decision Of the national association.
"Uuofficially 7 might say that the de
cisiOu Of a referee should be final. and
that a boxing commission cannot inter
fere unless the boxing regulations or law
of the State I'm which the contest is held
have been violated.
"If reports relative to the contest are
true the Cleveland commission showed
veal uess by allowing Wilson to dictate
20 them IN appointing the referee.
1.-The Wisconsin commission firmly en-
forces Its rule relative to compelling
boxers TO post a forfeit II at least 81 900
for a contest Of championship caliber II
this had been done Wilson or his man
ager would haye hesitated before refus-
ing 70 go through.
"Jf II was stipulated IN the Wilson
contract that he could elect the referee.
then the commission should have settled
the question at least three days before
the contest N order 10 protect the pub
lie. The Wisconsin commission would not
recognize any contract allowing the box
er to name the referee"
