Lathrop & Sons, BASE STEALING SEASON THIS YEAR Managers Devoting More Time to Development of Speed on = Nerwich, Cenn. _ Base Paths — Excellence in This Department Gave It is anticipated that the summer of 1912 will be the greatest base runming season of recent years in baseball. Re- ports from every big league camp have been that the managers were devol- ing many hours to the development of this most spectacular Llepartmenl‘uf the game. The Giants won the Na- idicnal league pennant by their base- runping last year. Their example made the managers of other teams do much thinking. In every camp, the star base run- ners haie been showing the recruits by examule the little tricks that help a runner toward the plate without de- pending upon the batter. The result is bound to be mere efficiency en the paths, Ofter. the apparently recldess base runners are students.

Punished the Ball for .332 and Fin- ished High in Fielding. ’ Tel. 901 Norwich Frank O. Moses, Mgr. WE WILL SELL CALIFORNIA NEVADA Had the question, Who is the most valuable catcher in baseball? been asked four years ago, the answer un- COPPER BDNDS doubtedly would have been Johnny Giants Pennant Last Year. Kling, and few would have denied that the new pilot of the Boston Braves was deserving of the hounor. Had the same* question becn asked last spring, it might have stirred up a long argu- ment. h Chicago fans with Cub sympa- would have announced to the that no catcher living could hold a candie to Kling,“while Wash- ington fandom could never have been convinced that Gabby 'Street had a superior. In Philadelphia the bugs would have been divided ,in allegiance to Red Dooin and Ira 'Chomas, and each capable receiver would have had an_army of standard hearers. Bringing the question up to date as the teams are getting ready to open their 1912 campaigns, there seems only one logical answer. The bankstop who has the best right to wear the royal mantle among the other mem- bers of his craft is none other than Chief Myers. the husky aborigine of the Giants, who in 1909 was consid- ered a second rater, This may be a broad statement when catchers of the ability of Archer, Stanage, Thomas, Sweeney, Bresnahan and Gibson are taken into consideration, but the Chief's work last season gives him a decided edge on any of his rivals. Catchers with good batting eyes are becoming rarer. There were 31 catchers in the big league who par- ticipated in more than 50 games last season. Of this number 17 hit under .250 and only six better than .275. Of the four catchers hitting over .300 last season, the Giants had two. lLadd of the Athletics hit better than any catcher in the majors, his average be- ing .3563. However, as he was in only 68 games, he could hardly be placed above Myers, who punished the ball for an average of .332 ip 128 games. Myers finished third among National league batsmen, and was only two points behind Hans Wagner, the league's batting leader™ However, if the Chief had been a little faster on his feet he would have beaten out sev- eral hits, which would have placed him ahead of the Flying Dutchman by a good margin. However, Mvers is not only the best batsman among National league catchers, but he also finished high in the fielding records. Only three Na- onal league maskmen had Detter averages, Moran, Needham and either Moran nor Needham mes and Bergen is through uer. Only two American lmgue backstops, Sullivan 6f the White Sox and Blair of the Highland- ers, had tter fielding averages than big Indlan of the Giants. To show how Myers has improved in fiel one season, it may be noted 1910 he finished 13th among Na league catchers. In 1910 he made errors and had 17 passed balls in 11 games, and in 11 he jnade only 18 errors and had 10 passed balls In 128 games. Another strong feature In Myers' work is his ty to go behind the bat day after day without showing any signs of wear or tear. Stanage of the Tigers was the only man who worked last season. The caught 141 games, Myers. Archer of the Cubs and Thomas of the Athletics were the other catchers who caught more than 100 games last season.

DOINGS IN THE AUTOMOBILE WORLI Good Highway to Unite Norwich and Worcester Will Facili tate Touring in Eastern Connecticut—Road and Shoj Hints. Complete or gradual motorization of fire deparrments is now the order of the day in all up to date conununi- ties. Makers of motor cars are putting reduced prices into effect. This re- duction is the result of a falling off in the price of crude rubber, which the dealers were given the benefit of as long ago as last January. If the cylinder surfaces are coated with carbon or any other “crust” the heat transfer will be interfered with, and the result may be a loss due to the rarefying effect, although in some| cases this same crust may serve to limit the head that will pass to the jacket, and a gain may result. This is not desirable on the ground that the crust will not remain at a constant thickness, hence it does not represent a stable condition, That the addition of anesthetic sther as a primer will aid in starting the motor is generally known among mo- toring medical men. It is very useful to them. since they are compelled to allow the car to stand in all kinds of weather, Thers are 100,000 motorists in Eng- land now, and before the year is out there should be 25,000 more, Prac- tically all the British motor making firms have arranged for an increased output, and apparently all seem confi- dent as to the prospects. Perhaps no colors are more univer- sally popular than grays. Just now the leader is elephant gray. Battleship gray, automobile gray, French cadet, and onyx gray offer a choice of popu- lar grays. All these grays bhave a white-lead base and are durable. More- over,they are seasonable colors at any time of the year, show dust and ef- fects of road service least of all colors and look neat until worn out, For touring some sort of a dust coat or slip-on is essential to comfort. A number of coats designed for this service are to be found in the supply stores among which may be mentioned the English slip-on, the gaberdine and the rubberized rafncoat, while polo ooats are very popular for spring wear. 4 In London some of the big trucks are getting as high as 20,000 miles out of a set of solid rubber tires, yet there are cities in America where the tire maker will not guarantes 8,000 miles. Deplorable oonditions of the street pavements are responsible for this. It is further a fact that it is possible in America to get nearly twice as much tire mileage in one city as in another, due solely to the street pavements. DANIELSON AND PUTNAM AUTOMOBILE DOINGS. Good Highway to Be Established Be- tween Norwich and Worcester—Ho- tel Men Anticipate Big Touring Season. Not more than 30 per cent. of the automobile owners in Windham coun- ty towns have put their cars in ru’ service for the season, and many them have not driven them at all. Road conditions are not yet wholly satisfac- tory for touring, though good emougk for general use. The “blue bell” of the Souther: New England Telephone compan) adorns the side of the new runabout that has been supplied by the company to Wire Chief Charles T. Thayer, who has supervision of lines and plant de- partment employes in the Putnam, Danielson and Moosup divisions, Sev- eral cars to be used in such service have been purchased by the compeny. Pleasure as well as business service may be gotten out of auto trucks. A | demonstration of this was given last Saturday night, when Representative Urgele Lafrance of Plainfleld took nearly a score of members of the Del- phi club from his home in Central Village to attend a banquet of the or- ganization at the Putnam Inn. A first-class highway practicatly all the distance from Norwich to Worces- ter will become a reality before the 1912 touring season is far advanced. The state highway department in con- junction with the towns of Killingly and Thompson has plans completed to improve routes from Attawaugan to the state road at the Putnam town line and from North Grosvenordale to the Massachusetts line. The big S curve above Attawaugan is to be elim- inated by running a new route through a part of the Wheaton farm. The use of heavy service trucks, which will be more general than ever thig summer, is attracting the atten- tion of town officials, who are anxions about the effect of four, five and six ton loads on country highway bridges that were not intended to withstand such heavy strains as I8 being put up- on them. To prevent liability on the town In case of accidents to trucis at such places it may become necessary to carefully supervise the movement of such traffic. Hotel men in Eastern Connecticut towns say that up to date this year touring parties have been a rarity, on- ly a few of the most hardy enthusiasts venturing out for trips of any length. They looly, however, for a big season, and are preparing to cater especially to this class of trade, without negleot- ing their regular business. Sunday i expected to be the best day of the week., . The advice of automobile experts te prospective buyers hereabouts is to get their cars from some dealer in or close to their home territory. If a car goes temporarily wrong, the agent who can be quickly reached is more apt te be interested in a car that he has sold than if he lved in Kalamazoo.
