note that there is hardly a physician
in the city who has to do extensive
travelling over the streets who does not
use an automobile, for the cost of two
teams Of horSes-and he cannot get
along with less-equals the cost of a
good automobile, and the cost of main
tenance and the percentage of loss is
even less While many physicians in
the larger cities of the United States
keep automobiles, they look on them as
a luxury, very largely, but here they
are an economical investment. as Will
be witnessed by almost any one of the
physicians who has given automobiles
a fair show.
The number of closed carria ges and
family vehicles, as differentiated from
touring cars, now in use here, also at
tests strongly to the increasing pop
ularity of the automobile in the spheres
where heretofore horse-drawn vehicles
were supreme.
1t is not without reason, then, to
look forward to the future of the au-
tomoble with belief in it's vast in
cease and growing use. One may re-
great the possible passing of the horse
but one cannot close ones eyes to the
advantages of the automobile in i'm
mense and numerous fields. under the
peculiar conditions prevailing in
Mexico.
That the automobile has come to
Mexico to stay can be confidently pre-
dicted, and that it has an unlimited
future and a chance for growth in
popularity that has never been equaled
in any country in the world, also can
not be denied. Good roads and a beau
tiful country make its promise as a
pleasure vehicle secure, while the pc
cular conditions surrounding the
horse in this country give it great
opportunity for replacing that animal
in trade and in city travelling of the
residents of Mexico.

AMOS RUSIE RUINED ARM BY
THROW TO FIRST
Former Catcher of Philade Iphia Ma
tonas Declares That Drink Was
Not Altogether Responsible for
Pitchers Downfall

The latest story about Amos Rusie
once the greatest pitcher in the world
to the effect that he is mussel fishing
along the banks of the Wabash, neal
Vincennes. Ind, in the hope of finding a
fortune in the shape of pearls, recalls
a story told recently by Manager Jack
Boyle of the Terre Haute club about
how Rusie lost his arm.
The generally accepted theory abou;
the big fellows downfall was that he
simply pitched his arm away, and that
a too free use of the cup that wrecks
FASTENED his decline Manager Boyle,
however, was catching for the Phlla-
delphia National league team in the
game I'm which Rusie practically ended
his brilliant career,
On the recent trip of the Tots Ruse's
name was brought up in a converse
tion one day. and Boyle told the story,
did you ever hear how Rusie really
lost his arm?" queried Jack. well,
he did it throwing just one ball. and he
didn't throw it to the batter, either.
New York and Philadelphia We're play
ing at the time, back in the '90s some
time--I don't remember the exact year.
Rusie was pitching in grand style that
day-had all his wonderful speed,
curves and control, and everything else
Il pitcher needs to win.
Threw to First
"a runner was on first when Amos
threw the fatal ball-the ball that sent
him from the highest position ever
reached by a ball player, down TO
where he is now, making as much in Il
month as he did in day then.
I N2rac fire
and he was more than anxious to steal
second, for it wasn't likely he would
get around the bases on hits. Rusie
was just as anxious to catch him be-
fore he got any further along the road
toward the plate, and threw to first
twice to catch him. Both times the run
ner slid back to the bag in safety, and
again Amos threw the ball to catch
him asleep.
"The third time, for some reason that
no one knows, he jerked the ball over
with a movement different from that
which he used ordinarily in throwing
ball, and that killed his arm. He
said nothing about II at the time, but
1 remember after the game he said
to me: L believe | hurt my arm when
1 threw to first that last time. 1t feels
like something is caught up here and
he put his hand up to his shoulder
well, that settled him. He pitched
for two years after that, but never
again did he have his wonderful speed
and control. He would curve them all
right, and won many games simply
because he was Rusie, and the batters
on the opposing teams were afraid of
him: but when he threw that one ball
without going through the usual mo-
tons he ended his career.
HE never knew, and neither did any
body else, just what happened to his
shoulder but something broke loose up
there. and for that reason L always tell
my men never to throw without using
their customary motions

Following the game between the
