The run of the Washington Automobile
Club to Frederick, Nd, yesterday was
success. and If 1t had not been for the in
clement weather there would probably have
been more than ten machines. the number
which made the trip The distance to the
MARYLAND city Is forty-seven miles. and
several of the machines ran out of gasoline
Capt. Robert C. Caverly was in charge, and
was much pleased at the close of the run
with it's success. Mr.. C. Royce Hough took
a party of eight in two large touring cars.
The road runs through a picturesque coun-
try and many times the machines were
halted to take snapshots OF the scenery.
'.The roads might have been better" was
the comment of the local autolsts last even
ing, for on the trip they encountered many
of the smaller type of undulations which
the autoists call hill. The only accident
to mar the day was VIXEN Baltimore bust
ness man was thrown from his car and his
arm broken. Mr.. HOugh was following.
and Immediately went Into Frederick and
returned with a physician. The fair COM

more plea SAINT than the morning run.

BAN JOHNSON WANTS
SHORTER SCHEDULE

CHICAGO. October 20.-President john
son of the American League has returned
from New York and said the club owners
of his organization were ciamoring for a
shorter playing schedule for next season.
If the consent of the National League can
be obtained the schedule of the two major
leagues next season will undoubtedly be for
40 games apiece.
Our league has always favored the short
er schedule said Mr.. Johnson, land the
demand for schedule of 40 games seems
to be unusually strong now. The weather
is too cold on either end of such long
season, and / believe the base ball public
would enjoy the games more if they did not
begin until little warmer weather and
ended at least ten days earlier than they
did this year.
The ball players. too, get all the worst
of the present long schedule. Being COM
PEELED to play so many double-headers is
too hard strain on the players. especially
at the fag-end of the season. The best
team in league might be beaten out of a
pennant by having to play long string
Of double-headers in the closing days of a

GIBSON TO STUDY PAINTING.
Creator of the Gibson Girl to Drop the
Pen to Take Up the Brush.

After this week Charles Dana Gibson will
draw no more in black and white. The
originator Of 1.-The Gibson Girl" wants to
enter a new field. and in November he will
sail for Europe to study art. AS friend
expresses it, ''he has bought his freedom"
and. realizing that he has reached his
limit in black and white" he has decided
upon this step. The cost OF Mr.. Gibson's
freedom will be about s65. 900 a year. the
amount of income that he will sacrifice.
MY mind is made up said Mr. Gibson
to reporter, as he stood at the door of
his Carnegie Hail studio in New York city
the other day II have done what l set
out to do in my chosen sphere. and now
am free TO do the work / want to do.
When / sail in November with my wife
and children 1 will be virtually on vacation.
do not mean by this that / shall be idle
On the contrary, 7 will be very busy. but
will be following my own ideals. and not
working to order. l may be abroad year.
l may remain two years, or three. l have
not mapped out the minor details of the
move / have decided upon. l will stay
just as long as feel that / am approach
ing more nearly to the ideals have set up
in my heart. i want to reach the limit OF
my possibilities in color.
First, will go to Spain. After n time
In that country I will visit Italy and from
Italy 1 will go to France. l know that I
will not return to America before next
summer, but l will certainly visit my homo
then, and If l continue my studies abroad I
will get back once year at Least.
That Mr.. Gibson Is thoroughly IN earnest
and that the step he has taken in refusing
to renew the contracts that bring him IN
anywhere from $4,000 to $73.0tt year is
the result of no sudden within, Lut the eff
spring of desires long cherished. was
proved by his every word and gesture.
Mr. Gibson talked with the unaffected
happiness of the school boy who has pass
ed his exams in the preparatory school
and is about to enter college. 1t Is said
that he has been drawing $4,000 a year
from Golfers, $4,000 from Life, and that
the royalties from the book of sketches
that he published every year were ct least
$4,000.
Mr.. Gibson is a native of Roxbury. Mass.
where he was born In 1857. The Gibson
Girl achieved u place for herself as soon
as she made her bow to the public. Among
his sketches those depicting THE Educa-
ton of Mr.. Pipp." The Americans" "A
Widow and Her Friends and The Social
Ladder have been most successful.

President ]. Ed Grillo to strengthen the
Toledo team in 1906. This statement was
made by Grille and the names of the men
given out. They are Frank Corridor. pitch
er; Abbott, catcher. and Kruger. fielder.
1t is very probable that Kruger will re-
place Moriarity at third unless Clingman
refuse to play next year. when he will take
his place at short. Abbott will be the first
catcher, assisted by Clark, and Land and
Corridor will In all probability be used

chance to land Jack Suthoff. but that he
had no place for him. Corridor is the
youngest player of the three being but
twenty-five He has seen three years of
service, first coming into prominence with
the Newport New England team. Kruger
