It is supposed that the time is needed to talk Mrs. Britton into seeing ‘where she has a gchance to strengthen her team. The story Is going around that Mrs. Britton is afrald to make any deal with Fred Clarke, because sshe thinks Clarke is certain to “put one over” on her. This same fear is held by others in { the National league, but if Mrs. Brit- ton’s reluctance rests upon that point it is suggested that she might discuss matters with C. Webb Murphy and mention the Leach-Leifleld-Hoffman- Cole trade. It is conceded at Pittsburg that Clarke did not put over anything on the Cub owner upon that occasion. Clarke wi not be interviewed upon this subject. Dreyfuss never deal “There is not 2 man in the St. Louis outfit who is Wilson'’s equal” says Barney. “Konetchy is the only Car- dinal we want. No use including | Oakes, for we don't need him.” says Chiel figure in the Wilson will Pirate-Cardinal Bridwell May Come Back. “If Bridwell's leg is all right he will be a hard man to crowd out of short field,” says Manager Evers of the Cubs. “When Bridwell was with the Glants 1 he was one of the best fielding short- | stops in the league. He couldn't play with the Boston Nationals last year because of an attack of bleod poisen- ing due to the fact that he stepped on a rusty nail. He recently assured me that he had recovered entirely and that 1s why we bought him from Bos- {ton. As for Red Corridon, the short- stop we got from Detroit, we have re- cefved conflicting reports as te his {abilit. While several competent Jjudges of talent say that he fell down with the Tigers when they tried him out last fall, others say that he was stale and could not do himself justice. In the American association Corridon was a phenom. He hit the ball hard |and covereq his position for Kansas like a whirlwind. As we got n for nothing he is worth a trial and he will get it when we reach the training camp in March.” Team Three Defeats Team Two.

CHICAGO GRAIN Open. High recently, There had been rumor of the game from time to time, and peo- | ple had heard that the four wheeled “ponies” on which it was played pro- vided as many sensational moments as the four-legged omes of the horse polo match. But no one was quite prepar- ed for the exhibition which took place in the arena still covered,oddly enough, with the tanbark of the horse show. As in regulation polo, the mallet is only a factor-in the newer game. The horse, or, in this case, the car, is quite as important to success, if not more s It was on the performance of these cars that the interest of automobile men naturally entered. Occasionally there was a bit of engine trouble, but for the most part the little machines, | stripped to the bare frames and lack- ing even bonnets, stood up manfully under conditions that were grueling to say the least. Every canon of good motor car driving, from the viewpoint of the car, was broken time and again, as the drivers sought to block the bounding leather ball or feed gas to their motors until the pop of explo- sions became an almost continuou roar in an effort to be the first “oi the elusive prize. Turns so short that they reshuletd in turnovers were made several times, but-still the motors re- mained operable to the surprise of the onlookers. Over the radiators and. the gasoline | tanks in the rear hoops of steel served | to break the jar and maks the ma- chines roll more easily when there was an upset, but that they could survive much of this kind of treatment, not to mention the locking of wheels, furious braking and even full-tilt collisions, made those who had driven cars in distance races believe that the internal combustion engine was one of the sev- en wonders :of the modern world. Whether the game can ever become general—even as general as pony polo —is a moot question. It involves, in the first place, a deal of expense; for, played . in earmest and in the heat of the desire te win, a big repair bill would be, inevitable. In other words, it would- be an expensive thing to pro-| mote in a prefessional way. The automobi secretary of state’s office has sent out notices to all automobile owners noti- fying them that their registration ex- pires on December 31, and that the markers to be used on and after Jan- uary 1, 1913, will be blue background with white figures for private owners, and those to be used by manufactur- ers, dealers and liverymen, white background with blue figures. How the motor truck is penetrating what a few years ago was considered wild in the far west was told recently by E. L. Ferguson, the veteran pilot, in an address before the Motor Truck club of New York. Mr. Ferguson in relating his experiences as captain of the Transcontonental Alco truck expe- dition declared that the rapid improve- ments of roads and bridges have re- moved the last obstacle to employing power vehicles to their best advant- age. “While facilities for motor freight- ing are far from ideal in such states as Wyoming, Utah and Nevada, and in parts also of Iowa, lllinols, Ohio and | Indiana, the spirit of better road and bridge conditions has taken hold of business men all the way across the transcontinental route,” said the speaker. Here are a few facts that should in- fluence i lines in preference to street car lines where the circumstances are favor- able: To install a motor bus line it is not necessary to tear up the street, erect trolley wires, etc. Motor buses are just as adaptable to being operated systematically as street cars. Instead of dumpinz its passengers in the middle of the street, the motor bus stops at the very curbing and thus makes both entrance and exit more convenient and safe. Street blockades need mot affect a motor bus—it can make a detour aro’ 1d the obstruction. Motor buses are more comfortable and attractive to the public than street cars. 34 Abroad, in the larger cities, motor buses are used, almost exclusively in some instances, which - proves their practicability on a large scale. “The present condition of the Euro- pean and Oriental markets points to a record breaking season for the Amer- jcan built car abroad,” says R. M. Lockwood, head of the foreign depart- ment of a big motor car company. “For this time of year, trade is un- usually brisk and I look for the 1913 season to show unprecedented devel- opments in the sales of moderate-pric- ed cars in foreign countries. Especlally in the far east are the-conditions such as they have. never been before. Dur- ing the past 12 months the trade of these Oriental countries has exceeded all expectations and the motor car manufacturers of the United States now. have a hold on this market which enables. them to compete on an equal footing with the great producers of Frace, Germany and England.” Carrying ten passengers whose total weighty wflss 1749 pounds, a Franklin Little Six touring car recently made a test run up two steep hills at Fort An- clent, near Cincinnati. Five passengers were on the front and rear seats, two on each running board, and the tenth sat on the hood. Thus burdened, the machine drove up and down two steep hills twice in succession, making two dead stops on the way up. At the end of this test, the hood was lifted and the engine found to be so cool that the passengers could lay their hands on it without the slightest discomfort. This test was the result of attempts of the writer of a Cincinnati automo- bile column to settle his doubts as to the practical working value of the air- cooled system. ‘With the early opening of headquar- ters at Washington, D. C., by the American Automobile association, the campaign of the organized motorists of the United States for national roads takes on mew vigor and becomes cen- tered, properly, at the national capital. While the principal headquarters of the A. A, A. will remain in New York, the association’s policy of promoting the plan of road building by the fed- eral government has been found to necessitate such close and constant touch with the various federal agen- cies involved, including the office of public roads of the department of ag- riculture, the engineering corps of the TUnited States army, the department of the interlor, that it is felt tke work can be greatly expedited through the maintenance of a permanent Wash ing office.

He said he liked the country firstrate, but after all his travels was convinced that there is no place in the world like America, and his wife agrees with him. A review of the highway situation in Wisconsin at this time presents most satisfactory state of affairs. Dur- ing the past yvear approximately $950,000 has been expended in per- manent highway improvement and the estimates for next vear, based on the demands of the counties for state aid, are in excess of §1,750,000. The cou ties are asking $511,150 from the state for permanent work in 1913, as com- pared with $455,417 demanded for 1912 work. About 35 miles of concrete road were constructed during the closing season. The average cost was 90 cents per square yard. All sorts of schemes are tried to keep ragiators warm 1n winter so that the car won't be hard to start.
