NAMES CONTENDERS; ONITS OWN TEAM Ty Cobb Oalls the Possible American Baseball League \ Winners. Chicago, May 11.--Ty Cobb be- lieves that the American league championship rests between New York, Washington, Philadelphia and Chicago this year. He gives Chicago an outside chance of capturing the pennant. In an interview given here before the teams left for New York, Cobb said it was impossible to keep down seasoned teams like Washington and These teams have a fine balance of veterans and recruits, experience and speed and ambition. New York, with its batting and pitch- ing, will be extremely troublesome. If Colins ard Scott can remain in the lineup Cobb believes the White Sox will stay in the race all the way. The team has spirit, dash and con- fidence. It has an excellent pitching staff with Lyons and Blankenship among the leading pitchers of the day and Faber continuing as a de- pendable hurler. The pitching staff is sufficiently balanced. Speaking of the Tigers, Cobb pre- dicted they would play better ball as soon as O'Rourke and Blue got back "into the lineup. The Tigers are none too good In running bases and the pitching has not been first class, except in spots. The team lack's the punch it is reputed (fo carry. HITS AND JABS By Joe Williams.

Dominion Balloons Wear Like They Ride You cannot expect Low-Pressure riding comfort with high-pressure inflation of Balloon Tires. High-pressure inflation defeats the very object of Balloon Tires.- Yet many Balloon Tires have to be extra inflated in order to save the tires from undue road wear. Dominion Royal Cord Balloon Tires, with specially designed Low-Pressure Treads, give you all the riding comfort of Low- Pressure inflation without undue wear on the tires. The Low-Pressure Treads of Dominion Royal Cord Balloons take all the road friction on six rows of pure rubber blocks." They carry the weight of the car on the treads without forcing the side walls to drag on the road surface. This gives greater traction -- freedom from skidding. The Latex Web Cord. Construction. of Dominion Royal Cord Balloons is an extra value without extra cost. rr
