NORFOLK, VA.. Juty 30.—Costly
error* by the Tara gave the victory
to the Shoemaker* yesterday. thou«h
they should never have had the game.
Beth Ryan and Walsh twirled In first
term and the visitors secured only
five hits. But the errors cam,- at
Just the ttlhe when they were moat
costly and gave the Shoemakers their
run*
Lloyd twirled well and received
good support, thus keeping the Tars
welt In hand throughout the game.
He gave four free passes, however,
and had the Tara been able to con
nect with the ball, they would have
won hands down. The score:

Correct In nearly every decision and

Champa completely swamped the
Bugs yeaterday la one of the moat
one-sided games ever seen at the lo

Tigers, who hatted him freely.
Muth, a new twirier who has lust

and was not at all effective, being

to score almost at will and piled up
ten runs.
Piitchard was not forced to twirl
hla best and eased up as soon as he
saw how things were going. The
Bugs scored four rune as a result of
Pritchard's easy-going tactics.
Griffin and his club seemed to give

ular league meeting, and all regular
business will be transacted a# It comes
up. According to custom, an expert
accountant will be employed to check

mittee will be appointed to approve
I the accounts.
I'mp4 re Schedule.
President Wells stated In his let
ter that the umpire schedule for the
month of August will be ready by
Monday, and from hie letter it seems
that he had a hand la the arrange
ment.
The clubs raised such a howl over
the way the umpires were doing and
over the arrangement of the schedule
that the president wee forced to look
Into the matter. The schedule for
AuguitSwlll be equitably arranged,
and none Of the clubs will have much
cause for complaint. i
It M certain that the Colts have
gotten past their time of hardships
with the arbiters. They will no longer
be made to suffer as In the part of
the seaeea peat. Thee had It hand
ed to them good and nard, but from
now on they will be properly taken
care of. Westervelt and Pender,
working alone, are the best two ar
biters in ths league, and If the Cotta
are, so fortunate as to meet these
two very often there will be no cause
for oomplatnt
No time has yet been ftxad for the
coming meeting. Since it could not
be held on Saturday, It will be neces
sary for President Wells to gst In

MAMMOTH FACTORY
FOR HUDSON CARS
New Plant Will Turn Out 100
Cars Every Month—Com
pleted October 1.
Detroit, the city of wheels, is as
tounded every time It take* a look at
Itself to see some wonderful new au
tomobile factory spring up. The motor
car has done more to make Detroit the
great Industrial center that It Is (bids
any Other factor. The beautiful city
fairly glistens with auto workshops,
which are scattered thickly over the
whole community. Each new factory
that shoots up seems to he an Improve- *
ment on the latest one completed. That
will be true In tha case of the Hudson
plant, at any rate. The Hudson’s new
home will not be reedy for occupancy
before October 1st. but enough of the
big building Is up to give one some Idea
of the magnitude of the plant.
The factory proper covers 123,352
square feat or 2.1 acres. It la located
out In the beautiful suburb of Fair
view, Just across from the historic
Qrosse Point* race track, where the
classic M. A M. end Chamber of Com
merce stakes here been held for so
many years. In going out by the
stronghold of the harness horses, the
Hudson seems to be unconsciously
pushing the equine champions further
into the beck ground. Sort of Invading
the sacred sanctums of the trottoug
kings, as It’ were. But progress In the
auto business knows no limits In the
case of the Hudson and Its magdifl
cent new Falrvlew plant will complete
ly overshadow the famous old race
track, which Is stubbornly receding
from Its position In the world of spfced.
With Its Improved facilities at the
new factory, the Hudson genius will
turn out 1.099 cars every month. To
Indulge In a few figures. It may be
stated that the floor space In the new
plant will amount to 223,500 square
feet or S.l acres. The main building
will be 499 feet long, with three wings,
besides a testing building, shipping
buildings, power house and office.
Flv# railway sidings enter the proper
ty. The buildings are being made of
reinforced concrete, with side* of steel
framed windows. The architects hove
figured so that two additional stories
may be put on at any time. The prop
erty adjoining the plant belongs to ths
Hudson Company, so that this entire
Slant may bo duplicated In case the
uslness warrants such an extension.
The factory Is costing an even half
million of dollars.
At the Theatres
Colonial—Continuous vaudovillo.
Bijou—Continuous vaudeville.
Cubinr—Continuous vaudsvills.
Next week's bill at the Colonial, be
ginning with the Monday matinees,
wtH deviate only slightly from the bllla
that have prevailed at that theater for
the past four weeks, and that devi
ation will be along the line preferred
•by Colonlalites and Richmonders dur
ing the summer months. The new ar
rangement will be In the nature of
a harmony festival. In that each of the
numbers making up the vaudeville sec.
tton will be featured either by high
class Slngei'J or excellent musicians.
One of* the feature acts will be that
to be presented by Coyle, White and
De Groot, a trio of classy singers, In
the offering will be includedMome very
clever and well-sleeted song successes,
the selections being made for the
voices of each of the principals, gradu
ates from the comic ooera Held and
singing successes In vaudeville.
In a strictly musical way will be the
offering of Van and Maddox, the man
a master in the making of pretty
sounds by way of the sonorous brass
Instruments, the woman a fine accom
panist, and the pair equally excellent
In the handling of the sweet-toned
string Instruments.
Completing the vaudeville section
will be a comedy singing offering, "The
Tourist and His Valet," by Fred Grimm
and Harry Satchell, amusing because
of the eccentric comedy offered by the j
pair as wel as their pleasing song
numbers.
The motion picture section will sup
ply its usual share of edification and
entertainment In a display of some
feature picture playe. and In the illus
trated song section Miss Gertrude Kell
wilt shine by her singing of tho timely
song gem, "Coney Isle for Mine."
Each Friday night an amusing ama
teur performance follows each com
plete vaudeville, pictures end song
show, and the dally performances are
continuous each afternoon and night.
Both the Bijou and Lubln have
strong bills scheduled for next week.
The manager will offer several excel
lent specialties and sag their pictures
are exceptionally good.
To Harold Lawrence, a bMnd boy
of 11 years, who sang "I Want Some
body to Play With Me/* In a sweet and
melodious voice and wlthpathetlc In
flection seldom heard.’the weekly price
for amateurs offered at the Colonial
wae awarded Friday night by Manager
L,yon. The lad appeared as on# of the
many bidders for amateur honor*. Be
fore end after he sang there was much
Jeering and fun-making at the efforts
ft the other asptTantg JW the prise
but silence reigned while he sang, and
when the manager sought to decide
the winner the applause was so thun
derous as to preclude the pos'iiMlIty
of anyone else getting it.

MUCH DEPENDS
Those Who Seek Material for Big
League Clubs Have No
Easy Job.
CXjKVEiAN'D, O.. ' July M.—Bom«
i year sago very few major league base
ball team* tboufht It neceasary to
employ a man to travel around the
country and watch the yaung players.
Of course, every team had a number
of experts scattered about amonf the
letfdtx who. If they chanced to see
a likely looking youngster, would put
(he manager wise, but to*day, so des
perate has become the hunt for big
league timber, there la not a club In
either of the major leagues that has
not a couple of men on the road
looking after their Interests. '
No smalt part of the succeta of one
of the big league teams depends on
the ability of its scouts—that la, the
men who go ail over the country
looking out for likely material. No
town or loague Is too small for fhede
watchers to visit.
For, as Is wen known, many a star
hall player has been picked up In
some town that had never'been heard
of and come Into fame only through
the baseball ablUty of Its son.
There are many Interesting little
tales connectsd with the discoveries
of great ball players. Hans Wagner
was signed up asa pitcher on one of
the small league aggregations, and
seemed doomed to fco back to the
uninteresting and quiet life of the
country vittage until hts gdse man
ager thought that perhaps he might
be able to play somswhere else, so
gave him a tryout.
And Hans has been famous ever
since. Larry Lajote, Jimmy Collins—•
In fact, nearly all the great ones—
have been landed by some worthy
scout whose chance or fate brought
them to the village where these em
bryonic stars were astounding their
fellow cltlsens.
To one not acquainted with the life
the work of a scout must look very
edWy and pleasant. It would seem
that traveling about the country,
watching ball games, with all ex
penses paid, was a very desirable
sort of life. But, In reality, it's not
as fine as It looks After a while It
gets very monotonous. Jumping from
one little town to another, putting up
with all kinds of hotel accommoda
tions, spending the greater part of
your time In hot, stuffy trains or ar
guing with av&rlous minor league
managers
Then, there Is another point to be
considered. If a scout who Is on the
road picks out a number of men and
not one of them shows sufficient class
he has put his club to great expense,
all for nothing. Say, for Instance, he
Is on the coast and sends a player
to one of tha big teams In the East
ern leagues. The youngster will cost
several thousand dollars, while the
expenses of transportation, etc., will
amount to no Inconsiderable figure.

mission on Account of Small
Attendance.
NBW YORK, July *0.—That the
moving picture men who are reported
to have put up half a million dollar*
for the Jeffries-Johnson pictures may
not even "break even" is a conviction
that is growing among the theatrical
men here.
When the pictures were first put
on the moving picture people de
clared the admission price would have
to be $1, because of the tremendous
outlay In securing them. The Aims
were quietly placed on exhibition In

of Touring Associations, the exact of
ficial title of which is Digue Inter
nationale des Associations Touristes.

Griffith, chairman of the touring in- |
formation committee of the same
dug, are the A. A. A. representatives
who will be met at Brussels on or
about July IS by Victor Breyer, the
A. A. A. representative in Paris. The
L,. I. A. T. congress will continue from
July 2S to August 1, and will be

Baa and the touring clubs of Italy, ;

Preliminary reports to the Anderson
Carriage Company, of Detroit, from
Thomas A. Edison, who la testing his
new storage battery in a Detroit elec
tric, shows that the car equipped with
the battery has traveled, from 102 to
131 miles on a single charge.
Edison Is making the tests to find
Just what the man may expect who
buys an electric equipped with bis bat
tery. He selected the Detroit as the
electric best fitted mechanically to
carry out the test, and platted a num
ber of routes over which the runs are
being made. These routes begin and
end at the Edison headquarters at
West Orange, and carry the car
through the country and over the hills
of New Jersey, across into New York
and up through Westchester county.
On one occasion the Detroit made
102 miles before the battery was ex
hausted; another time the odometer
registered 11* miles, and a third time
the Edison report showed 131 miles.
These distances were each made on a
single charge of the battery, and are
the more unusual bV reason of hav
ing beep made on country foada.
"These tests are for the sake of the
family man who wants to take his
folks out into the country for the
day." uld Mr. Edison. "They will
demonstrate that a man can take his
wife out into the country tn,hls elec
tlrc car, and have no fear about get
ting back. On such roads aa those
between here and Philadelphia, ISO
miles ought to he made without re
charlng. On hilly roads the machinea
ought to run about 121 miles I fee!
confident that there la a great future
of the storage battery tn 'the auto
mobile business, tor there Is much less
wear on the tires and on the whole
machine than with the gasoline en
gine."
Traveling leisurely across the conti
nent from Seattle to New York, stop
ping where fancy dictates and loiter
ing In the pleaaants spots, Garrett D.
Cooper and his wife ire making a
rather out-of-the-ordtnary tour In a
Cadillac "3#.”
Mr. Cooper Is of Stegel-Cooper Com
pany, of New York, and has spent
much of his time since 1*06 touring
the interesting countries of the world
In automobiles. During the winter he
and Mrs. Cooper covered southern
California in their Cadillac, and then
headed north from Los Angeles. From
Seattle they first visited Vancouver
and made all (he Ar shrdulag anow
and made all the popular trips In the
Seattle region; then started on the
long Journey east_ _ -
Mr. and Mrs. Cooper do not carry
with themjthe Impedimenta of shov
els. axes, camping equipment, *tc,,_
usually carried by transcontinental
tours, and Mr. Cooper explains this
departure as follows:
"We aim to demonstrate that the
country can be covered without all
this outlay, and that tourists can
travel as comfortably by auto as by\
train, with the additional advantage
of stopping whenever and wherever
they desire and visiting places away
from the routes of railheads without
difficulty of any kind.
"For this kind of traveling I prefer ‘
a car such as I have, a Cadillac 'I*.' :
I have found Its maintenance less ex
pensive, snd 1* Is really easier fbr the
tourists than a heavier car."
Quite the .opposite of this was a
Cadillac "M” trip reported from Min
neapolis, In which 1,360 miles were
covered la five days oa 00 gallons of
gasoline. David Hyman and Frank
Gaffey made the run from Minneapo
lis to Winnipeg aqd return. The dr
averaged XTO miles a day. add the
average mileage per gallon of gasoline
was 22 1-2.
Mr. C. H. Taylor, chief engineer of
the Hudson Motor Car Company, a
few days ago came down from Flint
to Detroit in hie roadster in the un
usual time of two hours and twelve
minutes. With one exception this la
the fastest time ever reported made
between these two cities. It is re
lated that a racing car covered the
T6 miles in two hours and six min
utes, but there is no actual record of
this time.
Mr. Taylor was accompany by his
wife, which makes the trip all the
more interesting. Mr. Taylor believes
hp could havs eliminated twelve min
utes if he had not run into a ditch
several times going at a high rate of
speed. Another handicap was the pe
culiar consistency of the sand ip the
Michigan roads, which makes travel
ing over them at a high rate of speed
sometimes perilous. It is not the
common loose sand, but the gummy
sort, and when the car sinks into it,
control is difficult.
Four hundred Rambler cam were
sold by the P. J. Downes Company,
of Minneapolis, to farmers in the
States of Minnesota and the Dakotas
during the first six months of 1910,
The average price per car was 22,250.
Because the ssAea of Ramblers ip
| the cities have been exceptionally
. large and the average price is above
two thousand dollars, this record sale
in the agricultural districts is con
! sidered remarkable. It demonstrates
that farmers are buying cars of bet
ter quality and are not confining them
selves to those of low value.
By way of comparison, the Thomas
B. Jeffery Company have furnished
information Indicating that this re
cord sale in Minnesota and the Da
kotas compares most favorably with
sales of Ramblers In the larger cities.
