ANOTHER NEW
SOCCER LEAGUE
MAY BE FORMED
American League is Not
Well Balanced United
is Weak in Spots
BASEBALL HAS PRODUCED
GREAT BAIND OP HEROES
Hans Wagner and Mathewson Probably Sur
pass All Other Diamond Stars in
General Popularity
By GRANTLAND RICE
It Is not at nil unlikely that before an
other soccer season rolls around a soc
cer leneue will ba formed In this city that
will Include eight of tho foremost clubs
In Philadelphia. At the present tlmo tho
only league In which all the tennis aro
fairly evenly matched Is the first division
of the Allied. Tho American League Is
lamentably lopsided and In the United
League only live of the ten teams are
contenders for championship honors.
An clght-club league composed of the
two Dlsston teams, the Hibernians, Put
nam, Falls, Wanderers, Viscose and Pel
tonvlllo would be a good organization
and one In which tho tall-cndcrs never
should bo separated from tho leaders by
more than a fow points.
According to reports, tho Amerlcnn
League Is planning to Increase tho number
of teams from 8 to 10, but as this league
has utways been prone to exaggerate
this statement may ba taken with a grain
of salt. As matters now stand. It might
as well bo run In two divisions with
Bethlehem, Dlsston and tho Hibernians
In the llrst division and Boys' qiub, Vic
tor Talking Machine uompnny ana itan
gers in the second division.
The game map have a greater ouncn
Than both were at their beat;
The game may have a gtamlcr fair
To shoot against the test;
The) a may be those with finer stuff
To lead the yearly skit;
lint things will never bo the same
ll'ieit 70 in and Matty quit.
The future may produce some star
That has both beaten down;
Some mighty pitcher may come on
To wear tho olive crown;
Some mighty slugger with tho kick
That deals the winning blow;
ilitt thing' will never look tho samo
When JIans and Matty go.
However pood a guy may be,
A better bloke comes soon;
There is no king whose reign may lost
liryond a fleeting moon;
I know the gap ii soon plugged up,
Though countless stars may flop;
But something goes no man mag fix
When Hans and Matty stop.
Oldtlmo fans of another day probably
felt that baseball was headed for tho
soup trough when Pop Anson paused out
and MIko Kelly faded over tho ridge,
or when Itadbournc censed firing and
Duck Ewlng made his final peg to second
base. It would bo hard to nntno tho
greatest popular hero tho game has ever
given us. There would be votes enough
for Anson and Kelly, Radbourno and
Ewlng, Clarkson and Walsh. Hut
nono of theso surpassed Ilnni Wagner
nnd Christy Mathewson In general popu
larity. Offhand, we should say that
Mathewson led tho list.
Sir I seo whero Tnber Is credited with
the world's mile record In all the lending
record books. If n crow picked a perfect
day and was paced by another fast crew
nnd the record uiu broken, would this
fitand? Would n record of this sort stand
In tiny other sport a record not made In
actual competition? BYSTANDEU.
Jess Wlllard and Moran may bo worth
a $.10,000 purse, and wo may bo worth
1300,000. And Jack Johnson may bo ns
w hlte as snow.
Picking the "Winner
"It will bo much harder to pick thn
National League winner this season,"
suggests nn exchange, "on account of the
number of Fed players to be distributed."
Yes, much harder. Do you recall nt this
stago two years ago how many millions
wero picking tho Braves to win the No
tional League Hag, and how nt this dato
last winter vast multitudes were picking

If It's Paige It's the Best
WHEN you buy a Paige
Fairfield "Six-46" for
$1295, you buy a motor
car that has already been na
tionally endorsed.
It isn't necessary for us to
"claim" for this car, beauty, full
seven-paesenger comfort, power,
service and general motoring
elegance throughout.
It isn't necessary to "claim" that
the Fairfield has a speed of "sixty
miles an hour" and throttles down to
two and a half miles an hour. Every
Paige Fairfield does that.
Paige cars are not racing cars. They
are designed and manufactured to
give ladies and gentlemen the maxi
mum of luxurious motoring. A Fair
field was recently driven by a lady
from New York to San Francisco
WITHOUT ANY MECHANICAL
TROUBLE WHATSOEVER. Tried
and recognized service is the claim of
the Paige.
AH of theso things hava been defi
nitely established by thousands of
Americans who own and drive tha
Fairfield who have selected itinpref'
erenceto any and all other light Sixes
on the market.
No radical, revolutionary experi
ments will be found in the Fairfield.
This car is supreme in genuine, basic,
obvious Quality.
The Fairfield isan ESTABLISHED
SUCCESS and the American peopla
have so declared it.
The new Fleetwood "Six-38"
$1050 is in every Important feature
a five-passenger reproduction of tha
Fairfield.
