GIANTS SECURE JIM THORPE Carlisle Athlete Will Report at New York Today to Sign Con- tract—Wires Acceptance of New York’s Offer—Salary Probably $7,500. New York, Jan. 3L—James Thorpe, called by the King of Sweden “the greatest living athlete,” recently de- clare@ a_professional aocepted a con- tract today to piay baseball svith the New York National league club. He will report to Manager MoGraw on Feb. 16 and will go to Marlin 2o train with the rest of the team. John B. Foster, secre of the club, issued this statement after- noon: “I recelved a telegram this efterncon from Thorpe saying that he accepted the contract we offered him. X is, therefore, our player. The telegram added that Thorpe would come to New York with the contract at once and would formally sign it tomorrow after- noon-" Mr. Foster declined to y_ what salary had been offered the Indian. It is understood, however, that Thorpe will be paid approximately $7,500 a vear. To Come to New York. ~Thorpe will be here tomorrow at 2 o'clock, when at the club’s offices he will sign a contract to play with the Giants,” said Manager John J. Mc- Graw tonight. He added that he first thought of engaging Thorpe vesterday when the publicity given the Indian's disbarment from the Amateur Athlettc union and the statement that several western managers were trying to sign him put the idea into the managers head. “1 got Thorpe on the long distance telephone in Cariisle, Pa.,” said Mc- Graw, “and he accepted my offer. Later 1 got a telegram from him confirming his verbal acceptance. He preferred to come to New York, and I offered him more money than the others, to00.” James E. Sullivan, secretary of the A A U., announced tonight that he had received the challenge trophies won by Thorpe in the Olympic games last year and would send them to- morrow to Kristian Hellstrom, secre- tary of the Swedish Olympic commit- tee, by the steamer New York. Mr. Sullivan said also that the all-round trophy won by Thorpe at Celtic park last September had been sent from Carlisle with the Olympic tropbies and was now in the possession of *he A. A. U.

Week after week has been published the testimony of Norwich people— kidney sufferers — backache victims— people who have endured many forms of kidney, bladder or urinery disor- ders. These witnesses have used Doan’s Kidney Pills. All have given their enthusiastic approvel.

MOTOR‘CVCLE NOTES. Miss Bessie Brunner was the first woman to become an active member of the Newark, N. J., Motorcycle club. The Harrisburg, Pa., Motorcycle club has already planned its first club run for the coming season—to take place on Easter Sunday. Guy W. Webb and George Hoiseth of Minneapolis, not daunted by the snow- crusted roads, started the new year right with a 100 mile motoreycle jaunt to adjoining towns. Although Milwaukee has but three concerns manufacturing motoreycles, the output from these factories in 1912 amounted to $4,000,000, an increase of 50 per cent. over the output of 1911. One of the features of the house warming programme of the Jackson- ville, Fla., Motorcycle club, given in its new quarters, was a mock court trial, which proved very entertaining. Though Aberdeen, §. D., motorcvel- ists find the air & bit too crisp to en- joy hill climbing at this season, the elub {s keeping up interest and en- thusjgsm by a series of dinners and en- tertainments, which are proving very . ¥ DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD Providence Show. Opens in State Armory—Endicott Enters Indianapolis Sweepstakes—Delagates Named For Federal Aid Good Roads Convention—New York Fire Depart- ment Has 77 Autos. A’midwinter tour from Regina, Sask., to Syracuse, N. Y. a distance of 3,000 miles, was completed recently by a party of three from Regina. The par- ty left Regina on Menday, Dec. 16, in a Franklin “Little Six” and although told that their trip in midwinter was impossible, they reached Syracuse on Monday, Jan. 13. Not another touring party was met during the entire trip. The men had plenty of experiences, soveral storms were encountered, rang- ing from blizzards to blinding wind and rainstorms. The first storm was the worst and was met about 15 miles from the border line between Canada and the United States. Here snow- drifts four and flve feet deep had to be plowed through for miles. Twice they had to dig their way out through snowdrifts. The first time they had nothing to use as shovels and after ransacking a deserted farmhouse they dug themselves out with the aid of a dishpan, an old plece of stovepipe and a couple of boards. Different people have different ways of doing things, and the chauffeurs of taxicabs have little ways of thelr own that are interesting, Instructive and sometimes expensive. For example, one of the guild had his attention directed to the fact that one of the doors of his cruiser was open while making fair speed. His instant and effective re- sponse was to jam on his brake for an instant, reducing the speed of the car suddenly, and causing the door to swing to with a crash. Without even looking around, the chauffeur released his brake, speeded up and_ went his way—oblivious of the fact that it had cost a neat little amousnt in tire rub- ber, brake bands and general wear and tear in many parts of the car fust to shut that door. One of the reasons wh-- a high grade French chassis of the highiy fimished kind used for exhibition purposes is so attractive is that it is finished with an eve to harmony and the eternal fitness of things. For instance, an exhaust pipe will be surfaced with a steely brown that suggests hot metal. Shafts are semi-polished, with just a suspi- cerine In equal proportions. sion of tool marks to convey an idea of true roundness. Generally, in the pol ishing of metal, as well as in the sur- facin~ of painted work, the aim is to produce a ‘perfect surface and bring out the color rather than to put on the highest possible polish. Automobiles now afford such good weather protection, with their wind- shields, tops and side curtains, that it would be a real pleasure to drive through a rainstorm on tolerably good roads if it were not for the fact that the rain covers the windshield with fog and obscures the view. Various me- chanical devices have been invented to clear thé windshield periodically by means of a sort of squeegee, but there is little inclination on the part of the motorist to carry devices of this sort for which he has need only cn rare occasions. The formatiod of fog can be prevented by smearing over the glass a mixture of kerosene and gly- This will cause the raindrops to roll right off as soon as they strike the glass. Kero- sene is generally carried in the side lamps and giycerine can be obtained in any drug store, but it would not be a bad idea for those who drive con- stantly to carry a bottle of the mixture ready prepared. One of the exhibits which excites special inferest at the _automobile shows this year—did at the Madison Saquare Garden show in New York and at the Philadelphia show, and is being talked about in Chicago—is the wire wheel equipment in the Stevens-Dur- vea display. Wire wheels are very much lighter than the wooden artillery type of run- ning gear, but have been developed in such a way that they do not look un- substantial under the largest car body —in fact, they add distinctly to its grace, as they do to its comfort. The advantages of the wire wheel in tire saving, particularly, and In su- perior strength have been proved con- clusively. The metal radiates the heat created in running and prevents the disintegration of the tires which wooden wheels encourage because they FINANGIAL AND COMMERCIAL HALTING AND Marked Falling Off in Business on 8tock Exchange. IRREGULAR. New York, Jan. 3 ‘There was no trace today of the bullish enthusiasm of yesterday in stock market specula- tlon, and although a fair_ degree of strength developed in the forepart of the session, the movement as a wholes was halting and irregular, Traders operated in a more cautious way, and there was a markeq falling off in the amount of business. Tenative efforts to bring about a reaction during the first hour mccomplished little and the failure of the bears was followed by increased mctivity om the long side, with the result that Reading, Unlon Pacific anqd Steel were marked up a point or more.

Twenty-nine governors have named delegates to represent their states In the second federal aid good roads con- vention called by the American Auto- mobile association to take place in ‘Washington, D. C, March 6 and 7. Correspondence with the executives in the remaining states indicates that the representation may cover the entire 48 commonwealths. The volume of inquiry pouring in upon the A. A. A. at its national head- quarters glves convincing evidence that the people of every section of the country are aroused to the necessity of having the national government do its part in building and maintaining the highways, and the indications are | that attendance at the forthcoming convention will be twice as large as at the first convention a vear ago, and that it will be the most important gathering of good roads people ever held in this country. Many of the governors who have ap- pointed delegates are very much awake to the importance of the federal aid propaganda and show that they in- tend to malke it their business to aid the cause in any way possible.
