H. Tyson’s Italian lscotta car, covering the 256 Miles in 5 hours 14 minutes and 13 seconds, beating hit nearest competi tor, Emanuel Cedrino, driving a Flat car, by more than seven minutes, tells how he won the great race before 200,- 1 000 spectators. Her* is bis own story: By LEWIS STRANG. Os course, I am very glad that I won the race, and although I knew the position I occupied at every lap, 1 was I not sure until I had passed the final post whether or not I would win. The system Os telephoning and signaling enabled me to keep touch ou my com -1 petitors throughout the race. By it i knew just where l was at each lap, but of course, many things can hap pen before the finish mark is reached. I owe a good deal of my success. perhaps, to my mechanic, John Mer quis. whom 1 consider the best me -1 chaniclan in the world. The only two mishaps I had he fixed while we were going at full speed. One of these con sisted of the breaking of a strap at J the back of the car. That necessitat ed his crawling back and cutting loose the piece of leather. Later the brake bolts became loose, and again he risk ed his life to fix up the damage. While we were traveling at perhaps 85 miles jan hour,-he crawled under the car and adjusted those bolts. So far as the roads are concerned, I think they were the worst I ever raced over. Part of them appeared to be little better than cow path*, 'other parts resembled swampa, and still another looked like a prairie. I stopped only once, however, and that was on the sixth lap. when I had to halt about two miuutes to replenish gasoline, oil and water supply. The three men who were ahead of me at the start I picked up on the first lap, arid maintained the lead throughout. I have nothing to coin- I plain of so far as the conduct of the spectators is concerned; they did not 1 bother me In the least. My fastest speed was perhaps a burst of 55 miles an hour on the stretch near Mount Kisco. where there is about the only straightaway mile +n the course. Griff and Donovan Draw. NEW YORK. April 25.—Kid GrifTo, of Brooklyn, and Jim Donovan, tbs local boxing instructor, furnished a lively six-round go last night in the wind-up of the Polo club’s entertain ment. and at the end the honors were about even. WINDSOR TRACK IN SHAPE FOR TRAINING YEAR START The formal opening Windsor race track lo the trotting horse train ers who desire to use 1% for condition ing their charges for the hard work of the coming season, will take place on Monday.»April 27, according to the announcement of Secretary William A. Hanrahan, of the Windsor Driving club. According to Mr. Hanrahan’s an nouncement, In the neighborhood of 50 horses will be stabled on the grounds by nightfall, the early birds at the track being from the stables of Ben Stanley. Dr. Bell, M. W. Wilson. J. Springer, Tom Wynne and one or two other Detroiters. Within a wepk or so Mr. Hanrahan expects the ar rival of the string of Canadian cracks being trained this year by Dan Me* Ewen for the Orand Circuit. In this bunch will be the much-touted Cham ber of Commerce candidate. The Eel, as well as the old war horse Gallegh er, 2:03 3-4. and several others. Most of the McEweu bunch are pacers, and the stable promises to be prominent down the line all season. The horses ore now at London, where MoEwen has been wintering. Mr. Hanrahan is promising the trainers a good track and excellent accommodations. In the general Judg ment of horsemen there Is jio better spot In the north to train horses than at Windsor, and the added fact that the racing at that town will virtually open the season is a further Induce ment to the horsemen to prepare their charges at the Canadian course Windsor’s meeting promises to be onft of the most successful in a lrit.g string of fine affairs of the sort. Th.* expected competition at Libertyvllle, Jo 1 feisty Vies Its! fact As VirtHoso at festal Board President John Kelaey. of the Detroit Athletic club, appeared In anew role Friday evening when, at the banquet of the De troit Basketball association, he rendered several vocal numbers which were simply great, ac cording to the unanimous ier diet of those present. Both as a soloist and a duet tlst, being paired in the latter capacity *ltb Mr. Clarence Lld tngton. Mr. Kelsey made a great hit. At the close of the formal eu :rclses the wnMre party adjourn and to Jake Mater’s phonograph store, where Ktleey a/id Lid tngton repealed their duet, on request, to A phonographic rec ord. It will be played regutaily at ail D. A. C. basketball gath erings in the future.

CHAT AND QPORT AND OMMENT OPORTSMAN T'he one real innovation of the big league season is unquestionably •the rule preventing the pitchers from soiling the ball, thus keeping a white j F- 1 -■♦sphere lu play a hoi oh h ill good share of the hr 1.1*9 THE time, the old corn pitchers. plaint regarding jtho presence of gloss on the ball being overcome by an arrangement with the manufactur ers whereby the baseballs furnished the two big leagues are covered with a rough. Instead of a glossy leather. The devotees of the game all over the country have had a fair oppof tunlty to Judge of the change and. i taking It all In all. the general ver dict has been one of approval. It Is a pleasant sight to see a pure white ball in plav, and one to which j the devotees of the game have long been strangers. The game Is undoubt edly shortened to a certain extent by the elimination of the tedious process of soiling the ball by rubbing it in the dirt or by less sanitary methods. The batsmen have a better mark at which to swing and everybody seems satis fied. including the pitchers.* I “THE ROUGH BALL IS A BET TER BALL FOR THE PITCHER IN MANY WAYS,” SAYB THAT HEADY YOUNG MAN. HARRY HOWELL OF THE BROWNS. "A PITCHER CAN GET A BETTER GRIP ON IT AND HAS CONSEQUENTLY BETTER CONTROL. ESPECIAIXY OF HIS CURVE BALL. HE CAN MAKE THE ,BENDER BREAK BETTER AND I iDO NOT THINK THAT THE BAT 'TERS HIT THE BALI. SO FAR. “The ball gsta wlngy a bit sooner, but it is not often that one of them remains in play In an actual game long enough to suffer materially from this source, at that" It may be news to most fans to hear that, in spite of the fact that all the minor leagues play under the same laws as their larger comrades, the rule regarding the ball is not changed In any of the smaller organ ixatlona. The ball manufacturers have too many of the glossy spheres on hand to permit the use of the new i ball from becoming general and only the American and National leagues will get them this year. Next season ,*he glossy ball will be a thing of the past or until the rule makers choose j to give the situation another twist THE Mighty Rube Waddell has re cently spent three days In our i midst aud gone, and never a newspa per story cropped out regarding the moat sensational# character and the I hcllo: beat advertised' rood-byr: player In baseball.! to ri hl Rube didn't pitch* while In the city that life is worth living, nor did he break loose in any pronounced way for the edification of the ettitena of Michigan s metropolis off the field. Rube did. however, turn 'loose a qufet stunt or two that would have roused remark, had the doer of the deeds been any other than he. Acting Manager Jack O’Connor told of one of them on the eve of the Brown*' departure. Eddie,“ said Jack —none of his fel- 111., has failed to materialize, and the action of the management there in declaring its meeting off has been re ceived locally as evidence that all the Orand Circuit stables will be at Wind sor. Mr. Hanrahan expects that, during .Tune, the stables of Geers. McCarthy, Snow and virtually all the prominent Grand Circuit drivers, will be stabled at the track. The entire Windsor plant has been put in apple-pie order for the opening of the training season, and anew shel ter is to tye added to the plant shortly for the use of automobillsts who may choose this method of coming to the meeting.

D. A. C. DEFEATS THE DETROIT COLLEGE TEAM With Bert Lerchen in the box, the Detroit Athletic club team had no trouble in defeating the Detroit col lege nine Friday afternoon by the one sided score of 13 to 0.

That night It came on, hot and steaming. Eddie called for a carving set and cut up the flsh in a way that gave almost every man on the team a piece. All there was left for him was the head, but be was per fectly satisfied when he saw we were enjoying It. He's a funny fellow, but nobody can keep from liking him.'* Secretary Rlokert of ttfe Browns says that Waddell has already won himself out, by which he means that the prediction made In these columns at the date of hia sale by tbe Athletics has already come true and that the Rube has.

"The heart of a man who is hanged beats from 13 to 16 minutes after the trap drops and the j unfortunate 1* swung by his neck. The theory that the convulsive Jerks |of a body are merely a reflex action and that the person dies as soon as his weight straightens out the rope is ail wrong. *1 have made an extensive study of such things, have been present at hun dreds of hangings and have examined 1 the bodies after they have been taken from the gallows. 1 am convinced that this Jerking is not reflex action, but a conscious attempt of the indi vidual to gain a footing "I have found that the heart beats a long time after the drop falls.

Since then he has, lost nearly all of his possessions, as a result, he charges, of frauds prac- 1 tlced upon him by Rogers Hampered for Years. For years, the plaintiff alleges, he was greatly hampered by the unrea sonable exactions of the B. ft 0., and as a *?lief he conceived the idea of building an independent railroad line between the Ohio river route and the B. ft O. This independent line was incorporated in February. 1895. and was known as the West Virginia short line. Prof. Jacksou was elected presl j dent. Mr. Jackson alleges that he spent i large sums of money developing his mineral lodges in view of the prom-' ise of the defendants to build the com- t petlng road. Later defendants wrest-! ed from him the control of the line. The line was sold to the B. ft O. in 1901.

Mg j Livas of Llttla Ohm and th# Safety of Pedaatriana Calls for Mors Serious Consideration Than tho Common Council Has Given This Matter. mothers end fathers of Detroit are awake to the danger which sur- I* rounds the presence of children on the streets at this pastime. An effort to have an ordinance passed by the common council Epftifist skating on the walks and pavements failed of serious con oideration by that body, the aldermen refusing to even place re st-' Otrtctions upon the dangerous practice in the business districts and along street car lines. Mr When the life of some boy or girl has paid the penalty of reck passness in the choice of a skating place the council will perhaps iMriifake to the realization that IT IS a matter worthy of serious con ■plderation after all. t As for the grown-ups, the sport is to be recommended as a f|means of exercise and not a few have put their skates to practical fr'lipg by rolling to and from their places of business or to shops where pthey are employed. The majority of these are probably capable of uj looking out for their own necks, but the practice is liable to abuse Hjpn4 the safe passage of pedestrians is threatened by speed con- Iftaata and acorching exhibitions on the sidewalks, such as may be •v. !'witnessed any evening and to which not a few citizens who have found themselves rudely bumped into may testify. If for no other reason than the protection of the aged, who !>kave a right to walk the streets with their safety insured, there abould be an ordinance against scorching and the roughness to f'Which ends it will lead, and which will become general, unless there are restrictions placed upon it. This is an innocent pastime, the aidermen may contend, and they may also hold that they would be interfering with the rights Os those who find pleasure in skating, but we have an ordinance against the playing of ball in the streets and the result is that those who would engage in the great national game have to seek the proper places to play it. j Skating hf all right, but our contention is that there is a proper Place for it, particularly when it comes to children, for the dangers they face, and to reckless grown-ups upon the sidewalks, for the dangers the pedestrian faces. The ordinance against baseball was passed with the value of 4 window light in mind. An ordinance prohibiting the presence of children in the streets j on skates near street cars and in front of automobiles, trucking Wagons and under the feet of horses, might be warranted with the value in mind of a light in the home which the presence of a happy- 1 faced boy or the loving eyes of some little daughter place there.

"Then who was with Frau Blowsky in Retford-st when you said you were In America?” *T—t don't know; nobody. I was trying to protect myself.” Laura Seeks Protection. Arnold felt that he had failed In his second cross-examination. Still he was certain that Eleanor was lying to shield her sister. He paused, end thought long and earnestly.

"So it wasn't you?" At the same moment he rang the call-bell twice and sat waiting expectantly. "What do you mean?" asked Elea nor. "Don't frighten me. It's cruel— it's cruel.

EX* PERT, TESTIFIES AT INQUEST WHEELS OF DEMOLISHED CAR NOT BADLY WORN. A patient and wakeful Jury listened for some hours In Coroner Parker’s court Friday afternoon and Sat urday morning to exhaustive and technical explanation aud discus sions regarding car wheels and rail* that would have made a professor ol engineering blink once or twice. Syl vester Potter, master mechanic of the D U. R., was testifying in the inquest upon the death es Michael Rocbowtak who died from Injuries received in the wreck of an Ann Arbor car out Mlchl gau-ave. several weeks ago. Potter’s testimony inclined to show that the girder groove rail ordered by the city to be laid on all tracks was responsible for the accident. He pro duced casts of the wheel rims show ing the amount of wear on the eight wheels under this car. Only one wag badly worn. The process of turning wheels to re new their life was described, and var ious patterns of wheels were discuss ed. Potter said that the D. U. R. would use the standard master car builders* wheel if It could, but was not able to do so on account of the groove rails, a larger flanged wheel could be used with *T” rails, he said, and the wear would be less. Porter also answered affirmatively when asked If a car going at the legal maxim speed of 15 miles per hour could do the damage this one did. Robert Loenberg was called to tes tify that the car was going at an ex tremely rapid rate when It passed him at Junction-avb. Potter was on the stand nearly all Saturday morning. He was question ed at length regarding the groove rail, and testified that It is not as safe as the “T” rati. Motorman John Brown, who has been with the D. U. R. since the days of the old horse car. and who is a reg ular motorman on the Jackson line, testified that he thought the tracks where the accident occurred were in good shape, and he denied ever hav ing said that they were defective. He also denied ever having reported to the company that the track needed re pairing. The witness maintained that motor men of interurban cars do uot attempt to make up lime while in the diy limits but keep within the 15 miles an hour limit provided by the ordinances. He admitted they frequently passed people standing at the comers, but raid It was done only when there was a city tar close behind.
