(By Norman E. Brown.) Wilbur Cooper is one of the big stars By Associated Press. NEW TORK, Oct. 2. Notwithstanding the general increase in baseball throughout the country it is unlikely that in the coming eeries to decide the world's championship that new records will be made is attendance for a single game or for the series.

The reason for this is that th ecapacity of the parks where the games are to be played is in- of the reason who will be outside the gate when the world series begins. Pitching for the Pirates, he has had one of his best years, and his work has helped keep the Smoky City team around first division. Recent records umclent to erase from the record gave him twenty-one victories and Whi taker' Longhorns defeated the Southwestern Pirates Saturday afternoon on Clark Field by a score of 27 to 0. Superb defensive work on the part of the visitors, coupled with the playing- of the locals, kept the score from being more topheavy. Fumbles, penalties for various offenses, bonehead plays and a general listleps-ness on the part of the Lcnghorn players marred the game throughout.

A redeeming feature of the Long-horns' play was the line plunging of MeOallum. Every time a first down had to be made, he was given the ball and delivered the necessary gain, Do-mingucz seemed to be able to pierce the Pirates line equally as well as Mc-Callum. The end running of Elam and Peyton also brought many long gains. Captain Maxey Hart starred when he recovered a fumble by Dillard of Southwestern and ran forty-five yards for a touchdown. Elam crossed the only twelve defeats, a percentage high the.

tiffurea that been established in The local Bowlers' League race received an auspicious start with no team able to win more than two out of three games in the first series. The Dread -naughts was the only team winning ita first game not to drop the remaining two, staving off defeat in its second contest by the bare majority of thre pins. Indications point to a close race, even though Tom Miller's Crackerjacks. Adolf Schutze's Dreadnaughts and the Pirates, captained by Adolf Gerjes, appear the strong teams on paper. Superior teamwork and breaks of th game on tha, alleys, however, will the deciding factor in the ultimate outcome.

With every team bent on showing" staying fighting qualities and bent on allowing the way, a hot fight at all times may be expected in the race for the fall championship. Even C. A.

The best record for total attendance at a series was made Cooper has been half the team ever since he joined It in l'13. He was born In Bearsville, W. February 24, 1X92. His first pro engagement was with Marlon in the Ohio State League in 1911. He won seventeen and lost eleven games that year.

Then taking up winter sports, the midshipmen won fifteen out of seventeen basketball contests; five straight gymnasium contests (including the intercollegiate championship); seven straight wres comparatively weaker on paper, ana although losing their first series, show promise of developing into formidable contenders.

During this period Goodyear has been able steadily to increase the amount of mileage built into its tires and, consequently, the cost of Goodyear mileage has actually declined.

In no part of the Goodyear line has this decline been more marked than in the present 30 3-, 30 2xk and 31 4-indi sizes of Goodyear Tires, made especially for small cars.
