With the first approach of cold weather many fam- llies trade in their cars on new ones, to be delivered in the spring, thus sav- ing storage costs for the winter. Still others, with the summer and fall sea- sons gone, have no future use for the vehicl ey used and are willing to sacrifice it. So the family that looks around now has a wider field to choose from and can certainly make a better financial deal than could be made in the spring, when the demand is brisk. You Gon't see many second-hand cars for sale in the dealer showrooms after May 1. The few that are available command & perminum price, also, becaus over demand that comes with spring. While the average buyer is inclined to Dbe skeptical about a used car, he need not necessarily be to skeptical.

One of the most important steps for the betterment .of conditions among baseball players may_be taken before next season by the Baseball Players’ Fraternity. The fraternity expects to pass a rule placing all the ball players high and dry upon the water wagon. Traced to Night Before. The moving epirit in this innovation is 3 Reslbath, eecretary. of the fra- Mr. Reulbach doesn't wish to u.le high' and mighty attitude on the temperance question, nor does he yant any itk ”like - “Eiit_che-Trall} placed before his name. What he has done, however, is a lot of missionary work among the ball players in the cause of the white ribbon. Secretary .Reulbach had three ‘years of study in the medical school of the University of - Chicagy and knows wheréof he When - he talks about tiie" 1 eftects of drinking on ball players. Many a muffed fly in a championship game and many a booted grounder or a little stupidity on the bases may be traced to what the ball player was' doing the night before. Mr. Reulbach has interviewed many of ‘the members of the fraternity and the majority of them are in favor of the action ‘which he has suggested. Most baseball players are in such good physical condition at all times that they can stand late hours and more or less brew. However, Mr. Reulbach has pointed out to many of the delinquent players that it consumes much time, energy and a great deal of money. It lessens the player's efficiency and takes many years off his playing career. “The ball players,” says -Secretary Reulbach, “took -a sensible attitude on this question when I approached them. TRey realized that {t would be well for themselves and a great thing. for base- ball if they retire earlier and omit beer drinking. ~ Of late year there has been & declded change in the behavior of the player. Years ago it was taken o granted that he spent ‘his money like a sallor and cared little about his physical welfare.

That athletics are on the boom at the University of Pittsburgh at the present time is shown by the number of. eontests in different sports ar- ranged for the present scholastic A with the leading universities of the country. It was announced last week that the Pitt track team will take the place of the University of Michigan on the Syracuse indoor track schedule this winter. The meet will be heid in March. . Pittsburgh promises to have a strong team this season. This adds one more important link to the chain of athletic events sched- uled between these two universities. Pitt and Syracuse are also on the pro- framme for an outdoor track contest in Pittsburgh in May. This is a return engagement for Pitt’s visit to Syracuse last spring. -Announcement was made recently. of a two-year football ar- rangement between the two rivals, Symuu being the scene of the first S Football has-had a wonderfal boom in_western lvania in the last years, as evidenced by_the crowds n the annual Pitt-W. & J. and Pitt- State encounters, each of which drew 30,000 spectators last fall.

Final decisions as to the spring pro- gramme will be made shortly.

COACHING JIM COFFEY , ON DEFENSE Billy Gibson Thinks the Dublin Giant Greatly Improved. Billy Gibson has been at Jim Cef- fey's training camp watching the bis Jrish heavyweight in his ning stunts and coaching Jim in the use of his left as a defensive asset. Billy declares: that he is more con- fident than ever that his man will be the victor in the fight with Frank Moran at Madison Square Garden next Friday night. “Coffey has the chance of his career right now,” said Gibson. “Moran is matched to fight Jess Wil- lard, but that match may never come off. ' You see, it's a cinch that Coffey would be substituted for Moran in the event of Jim's winning decisively, and that's what he is setting out to do. “Everybody will agree that Coffey has improved greatly since his first battle with Moran, in which he was the victim of what I think was a. sort of a fluke. Mind you, I'm not detract- ing from Moran’s victory, but at the same time Coffey had all the better of the encounter until Moran landed that swing. ‘That was practically the only blow that Moran put over up to that I think Coffey was having such an easy time of it that he grew careless, “He fought an altogether difterent Smith _and on Friday night.” Moran is now doubly anxious to re- peat his victory over Coffey, as it will Ereatly enhance his chanc the promoters of me Moran-Willard fight for more than the $7,500 which he has been offered.
