(I. V stronger and better than ever after the war is overf, n the nowers that be take advantage the opportunity I that is conning to them to rehabilitate the game. . War, has hit baseball a solid smash, rocking it from stem to stern, causing heavy financial losses to the club owners and result ing in a certain falling off of interest on the part of the puljdic. But the coming of peace will wipe out these obstacles if the magnates will only get busy. j Baseball ieeds renovating. There is no denying the fact that the administrative end of the game has reached the point where a reinforced foundation is imperative. . j I'.an Johnson recently remarked that a cessation of the game would give the magnates a chance to turn their attention to the working out of political problems that have been held up too long already. ! One of these problems is reor ganlxation of the national rommls pion. American Demands Change ,The American league demand It, and Home of Hie more conservative Niatlonal leugue club owners realize that H is an eventuality that cannot b dodged, and admit as much. The hih tribunal of baseball, with two National lenKUe reprt-sentatives In Its' makeup, was a fine thiiiK for the old league. The American league baa a capable battler. on the commis sion In the person of lian Johnson, but two votes attfllnst lian a one Rave the Nationals the adge, and the re cent clash over the case of Scott Perry shows that all was not serene In the ranks of the ""Vommish." What the commission needs is the presidents of the two leagues and a third and disinterested party to act as ehalrmnn. Garry Herrmann has been a capable chairman, yet Garry in a National league club owner. The third person must be a man thoroughly versed in baseball from every angle and disinterested alto gether In a financial way with either major league. The minor leagues, too, should be represented. Neutral Chairman Needed They should at least be reperesent ed by the neutral chairman of the commission, if not permitted to have a representative or their own, choos ing to pit with the commission In cases- where minor league clubs are in vol veil. Another thing that is bound to come In for attention In the Ynajor leagues Is the expanse of running the game. The first thing-eveTv club ownenwlll attempt, when thoTvar is over, will be to ren-utei'Hte his losses. He will crab a big ax and Btart chop ping away at the payroll, and he will be able to Ket away with it by the time n new crop of players is ready to step into the shoes of the high salaried stars of the present, many of wliom will pass along within a short time. Fair Salarln to Be raid Fair salaries for the players must be paid always, for they are the lads who keep the game alive. Yet the magnates brought about abnormal salaries themselves by reckless bid ding for a player's services in the days when the game was at its height, and the player soon learned how to take advantage of the rivalry between club owners. After the war, baseball, to be highly successful within a reason ably short length of time.. must come beck thoroughly, renovated, with new polJclen In force and something more stable In the way of business meth ods. And the minor leagues the sources of supply must be better taken csre of than in the past. ft i t mm Philadelphia 5. C.hioafjo 2 Chlcags. Aug. 6.

A brush, comb, mirror and electrlo light are combined in a new toilet set that can be carried In a pocket. boiling I matSowns The boiling point of any liquid is the temper ature at which it vaporizes. Gasoline has boiling points ranging from the rery low to the high, and in "Red Crown" they form a uniform, continuous, unbroken chain. The value of gasoline lies in this uniform con tinuity of its boiling points. Combustion starts with the lowest boiling points and flashes on through the gas. The continuous chain of boiling points from the 'ow to the high is necessary for instantane ous, full-powered combustion. Eliminate one link and the power chain is broken. Only a straight -distilled, all -refinery gasoline can have the continuous chain of boiling points. Mix tures always have "holes" in them. Red Crown, the Gasoline of Quality, is a straight distllled, all-rofinery ftcel haying the full and complete chain of boiling points necessary for steady, depend able power: Low boiling points for easy starting, medium boiling points for quick and smooth acceler ation, and high boiling points for power and mileage. Look for the Red Crown sigh before you fill. STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California) JOHNNY EVERS, former National leaguer, in his uniform as athletic direc tor for the Knights of Colum bus.

Washington. Aug. 6. Golf will be one of the leading sports at army camps and cantonments next year if a plan sug gested by Dr. Walter S. Harban and en thusiastically received by Dr. F. P. Kep ple, second assistant secretary of war, is pushed through. ? The whole plan followed a talk In Dr. Kepple's office in which Paul B. Wil liams, field secretary of the National Lawn Tennis association, and Drs. Har ban and Kepple took part and followed a call from Dr. Kepple to the other two men to find out means of supplanting recreation to the men in camps. Dr. Harban suggested that a small golf course of three, five oi nine holes, or of any size for which there Is avail able ground, be laid out on the parade grounds of the cantonments and that members of the clubs throughout the country send to the war department or to camps adjacent to their homes their old spare clubs. The Idea Is that the men will receive healthy sport by swinging the clubs for a short time each day, and Dr. Kepple thought so well of It that he Immedi ately had wires sent to commandants at the campa asking their opinion of the plan.
