With Stanage still holding out for an iIncrease in salary, “according fo in- formation given out at the local base- ball oce, the Detroit club still is with- out a regular catcher signed up. Cobb, Crawford and Dubuc, like Stanage, have not as yet come to terms with President Navin as to their 1913 stipends. Local papers have charged that four players have agreed among themselves that the club must meet the demands of the quartette be- fore any will sign.

Physi Chicago, Feb. 6.—Mordecai Brown, former star pitcher of the Chicago National league club and nNow a mem- ber of the Cincinnati team, will have |his right knee placed in a plaster cast today in the hope of curing an injury sustained last summer in slid- ing to second base in a game at the West Side park. Examination of X-ray photographs of the joint showed that there is a gathering of water in the joint under the knee cap. It is said the,opera- tion will not be a serious one, and the pitcher has been assured that the joint will be in shape before the season be- gins. KOLEHMAINEN WINS FIVE MILE HANDICAP.

STANAGE TO HAVE NEW JOB. Will Have Authority Over Jennings Regarding Fitness of Pitchers. Rumor has it that there will be a change in the method of handling the Detroit club’s pitchers fn 1913. In- stead of having this matter entirely in the hands of Manager Jennings, as it has been In the past, it is reported that Oscar Stanage is & to have a large share of the say as 1o who shall work at a given time and when the per- former on duly is due for the derrick. Heretofore Stanage, in spite of the fact that he is generally considered by critice to be as goéd as any back- stop in baseball, if not actually the best, has had practically nothidg to say Tegarding a hurler's fitness to go into the box and even less about his being relieved when he has shown signs of slipping. Such a system is wrong from the foundation up. Nobody else on a ball club knows as much about the pitch- ers as does the fellow who datches them day after day. The wisest mana- ger in the world cannot tell by merely sitting on a bench whether his choice for pitching duty “has anything,” but the man with the bi- mitt, who knows just what any slabman can do when Tright, ought to be able to gauge to a‘nicety just how the ball is behaving. Considérably better results may be expected of the Tiger twirlers, young’ Brown & Perkins, [itsmeys-at-law Over First NatL Bank, ShDetucser .

I. Feb. 6.—Prize fighting in this state received a blow from Governor Pothier today. In a message to Edgar B. Hurdig, president of the town council, of North Providence, where a recent bout cul- minated in a fight between the referee and one of the seconds, the govrmor says that h has instructed his depu- ties to put a stop to boxing exhibitions that are “a disgrace to civilization.”, He adds that these affairs have “at- tracted thugs, pickpockets and gam- }sler; from ali sections of New Eng- and.” FOOTBALL PLAYERS NUMBERED. Princeton’s Representative Also Fa- ‘vors Placing Goal Posts Behind Goal. Princeton, N. J., Feb. 6.—Parke H. Davis, Princeton's representative on the football rules committee, will ad- vocate at the coming meeting of that body the passing of a rule requiring that®members of football teams be numbered, according to a statement issued hére tonightfl This was de- cided on at & meeting of the Prince- ton board of football control held to- day to decide upon the changes in and old, if Stanage is consulted every day before the game. And if he de- clares that a hurler isn’t ready, some- body else ousght to be sent in, providing there is anyone at all available. As there are times when a pitcher fwho “hag everything” will be pounded all over the lot, Oscar's judgment will not always be right. Many times he will fall down and recommend for duty a deceiver who is absolutely made to order for the opposition. But he will get the correct dope oftener than any- body else could. There is a pecullar quality of judg- ment involved in knowing when fo 1ift a pitcher, and lack of this quality has cost Meanager Jennings dear in the past. Hughie seems to be particularly unfortunate in a_ tendency to leave pitchers in too long when they are Boing badly, and the Tigers have lost a lot of games that might have been saved in consequence. Here, again, is where Stanage can be a big help. From the nature of his duties, the big backstop can tell whether a man really is unable to get anything on the ball or merely is having bad luck and is due to settle down. It doesn't pay to yank a hurler too quickly, any more than it does to let him linger until somebody hits him in _the forehead with a line drive and knocks him senseless. This is particularly true of young- Ford--| sters, and Jennings is to be commend- ed for letting some of the juveniles who reported last fall weather the storm of a real beating fust for the 0od that the experience will do them 2 the long run. But it Is apparent that when a man “has nothing but a glove” the soomer he is relieved the better chance his club will have of winning the ball game, and it will be Stanage’s province henceforward to sound the alarm when the psychologi- cal moment arrives. Undoubtedly the added responsibility will inspire Stan- age to “pepper up.” Under the cir- FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL A LAGGING INTEREST. Volume of Busin Drops and Lead- ers Remain at Dead Level. New York, Feb. 6.—The _favorite mediums of speculation by which stock market conditions are gauged, remained virtually on a dead level today. Some of the less active issues moved more widely, but interest lagged, and the volumé of business fell off consider- ably. Sentiment was still bearish, but trad- ers on the short side were held in check by fear of over-extension of the short interest, In the opinion of some traders, bear commitments have reach- ed proportions which might spell dis- | comfort for the short interest in the | event of the appearance of bullish factors, Traders on the long side were disposéd to wait developments and the market was allowed to drift, There was some further selling of | coppers, which were heavy through- out the day, but losses were only frac- tional. THe copper group was in- fiuenced by a further break in the metal market in London and by reports of substantial concessions in the do- mestic mariket. The Harriman shares moved im an | uncertain way. Expectations of a defi- nite announcement of the dissolution plan were effective in restricting trad- ing, not only in Unien and Southern Pacific, but in the market as a whole.

The symptoms of grip this year are very distressing and leave the system in a run down condition, par- ticularly the kidneys which seem to suffer most, as every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected, as these danger signals often lead to more serious sickness, such as dreaded Bright's Disease.” Local druggists re- port a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many people T heals and strengthens the kidneys after an attack _of grip. Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and, being an herbal compound, has'a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co. Binghamton, N. Y., offer to send a sample battle of Swamp-Root, free by mail, to every sufferer who requests it. A trial will convince any one who may be in need of it.

It has often been said that golf is a game for particular people, for those Who are most successful are generally those who give especial care to de- tails. In cases where a golfer Has the privilege of selecting his opponent, it is frequenuy necessary for one to use all the fortitude and delicacy at his command, for it is remarkabie to what extent an opponent can affect & play- er’s game. There are e Who assert that the wise and experienced eolfer will choose his opponent with just a little more ! care than he selects his wife. former instance emotion to obscure his sense of dis- crimination. A man may entertain In the feelings of the rreatest friendship for ' another, and may yet have justifica- tion in avoiding a round with him. | There are any number of estimable | persons with whom a player could as- sociate with benefit to his character, but whose effect on his golf is alto- gether disheartening. There is no golden rule to follow in choosing op- ponents, It 1s a case of each player finding out for himself the kind of player who brings out the best golf. There are times, of course, when a rolfer must take the opponent handiest to him, and be glad that he has any one at all to ~'~— with, but when it is realized that life is shoft and time val- uable, care is generaily taken that these occasions are as infrequent as possible. Some golfers play their best game when opposed to men of greater abili- ty. The spirit of emulation causes them to rise to the occasion. Then, there are others on whom such occa- slons have directly the opposite ef- fect. There is no system of handi- capping that can be invented that will equalize the chances of victory when a player allows himself to be obsessed by a sense of his partner’s superiority. The sternness of the struggle in- spires the stronger player to remark- able efforts. He never allows himself to forget the excellent maima of suc- cuess—that doggedness does it, that slow and sure will generally win, that steadiness is more to be admired than brilliancy, that accurate putting may malke up for a lot of other sins of commission or omissior. Op. the other hand, the weaker vlayer tries to do what he ousht to know lies beyond his power, and is inclined to forget these maxime. On the tee he seeks to emulate the long, raking drive of his stronger opponent, and he presses with dire results. He watches a capital second shot, and vainly tries to copy it. When he has lost a hole or two he makes still -reater efforts to beat his opponent at his own zame, and before he has reached the turn he Is in a state of demoralization and despair. He not only loses the match, but his physical condition and his outlook in life are such that it may be a long time before he is convalescent. It 15 perfiaps a good thing to play against men who are better than our- selves, but they should be only a little Dbetter, and these rounds, should be indulged in sparingly. The strain that they impos€ on the nervous ; These matches/| system is not light. may have their uses as a tonie, but tonics will not build up the golfing constitution. THREE WORLD’S RECORDS.

This signalizes the entry of the Keeton company into_automobile rac- ing, in which Forrest M. Keeton, presi- dent of the company, is a firm believer.

That the cost of gasoline rests, to a great extent, on each individual mo- torist, and that motoring in general is | under a deep obligation to the biz oil | compan is asseried by Clement | Studebaker, Jr., first vice president of | the Studebaker corporation. “I have recently noted several arti- cles quoting automobile manufacturers ! and others as deprecating the rece] increases in the price of gasoling, said Mr. Studebaker. “Some have even professed to see, in the advance, a | menace to automobile popularity and | industry. As a matter of fact, the dif- | ference amounts to but a fi tion of a { cent for each mile per car and should {not in a season’s running of 5,000 | miles, exceed a total of $25. | “As a matier of fact” Mr. Stude- | baker continued, “we have all wasted | gasoline; it has been so cheap.

The lighting problem has been soived by the in- stailation of an electric dynamo by which is ~enerated electricity for light- ing the outside lamps and generally at the same time furnishes the power for | s8f starters. The electric lighting system Is several years old, but it has | reachea its highest degree of perfec- tion only this year. Another important improvement this year, and-one that will particularly interest the motorist, is increpsed baggage equipment. Al- | most_every cam large or small, has provided for carrying extra luggage. More and more such equipment has been necessary because of the motor- ist's desire to tour through the country for week end trips, and often cross- continent touring for three and four { weeks at a time, In endeavoring to ascertain the cause of several broken spokes in one of the { rear wire wheels with which a moto ist had had his car equipped It wes | breaks were not | discovered that the occasioned by violence but were the result of rust. Apparently the enamel with which the spokes were coated had not covered the whole of the spokes where they entered the felloe band, the result heing they rusted through and parted. From which it would appear a wise precaution occasionally to ex- amine wire spokes at their nipple ends to make sure that the enamel is intact, for though the breakage three spokes does not seriously impair the strength of the wheel, it neverthe- less represents an avoidable and there- fore unnecessary expense. With the arrival of the slippery sea- son and the consequent wear and tear | on ant chains, it becomes im- perative that the side chains occasion- ally b spected for v s, for if they nd they do—thes are twisted around the axle, mingle disastrously with the brake ~ear, causing the derancements that will raise the dickens senerally. brea liable to get The suggestion comes from abread that radiator cooling fans might be | provided with variable speed gears, so that on a very hot day or with a fol- lowing wind the conling effect might ba increased by speeding up the fan. | Whethor the ~addad . complication 13 | justified is another question. | Americans go in the manufacture of six-cylinder cars ?

Germany and Russia_are active in this matter, and some of the latest types of armament against aero- planes have been bought by Emperor William's war department.

It is the product of the La France Engine Co., which bullt the present auto-chemical. Incidentally the old machine, now practically worn out, is the first aute- propelled combination hose carrier and chemical of its kind in the world. The machine was purchased by the com- pany and has been maintained by the organization since its installation. There has been a report current in some newspapers that racing drivers are protesting against the attitude of some of the automobile manufactur- ers, who, they state, are attempting to retain the prize money won in var- ious racing events, and Harry C.
