AUTO MERGER REPORTED.
New York Hears Packard IL to TAXI
Over Electric Vehicle Company,

over VENICE company.
New York. Feb. 2S.-The most SEN
sational Of any automobile Industrial
news that has been heard here for a
long time was talked Of in whispers
yesterday afternoon among a few well
informed members Of the local trade
who handle licensed" cars. This was
that all assets Of the Electric Vehicle
company, including the works at Hart
ford. Conn.,. where Columbia oars are
built. and. most important the actual
ownership of the famous Selden pat
emit, are to be acquired by the Parkard
Motor Car company of Detroit
The stories further recount that the
Hartford plant is to be utilized as the
eastern factory for Packard automo-
biles, from which the New England
states are to be supplied with that
make of car. The manufacture Of
Columbia automobiles will entirely
cease. 1t is said.
Milton j. Budlong, former president
Of the Electric Vehicle company and
who will retire on March 1 from the
presidency of the Association Of L.
censed Automobile Manufacturers to
become associated with the Packard
company, is reported slated as eastern
manager of the last named company.

JENNINGS DIsCREDITs Killing.
Hughie Says Four Catchers Were
Greater Than Cub Star.

Chicago, Feb. 2s.-Hugh Jennings
takes exception to the statement at
tributed to Pitcher Charles Nichols
that Catcher Johnny Killing is the best
backstop In the business.
"I disagree with Mich OILS selection"
declares Jennings. flor the simple
reason that there have been better
backstops in the game. I can name
four different catchers who have been
Kings superiors, and in their day
took g. back seat for no one.
Charley Bennett. Buck Ewing,
Charley Farrell and Will Robinson
were the best in the business and have
no equals today lAH four could bang
the bali on the pose. and send it to
the far corners OF the field. All OF
them were fred with a magnetism
which drew the players to them and
made them work in harmony, no mat
ter what the play happened to be.
They kent the base runner on verit-
able pincushion and stopped many a
stolen base by perfect throwing.
without wishing to be credited as
O. critic, 1 believe that Nichols has
never had the opportunity to Judge
my four selections properly. True,
Bennett caught his delivery, but he
never saw Ewing at his best. nor did
he pitch to Robinson or Farrell.
II have no desire to discredit
Johnny King. He is a fine catcher
and good ball player, but King is an
individual player strictly. He cares
little or nothing about the team work,
and as a hitter never classed with the
four catchers I mentioned"

Three Bold Rogues Take Strangers
Cash But Are Quickly Captured.
Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. 2s.-One of
the boldest holdups that has occurred
in this city for long while took place
early Thursday when 8. w. Smart. a
merchant of Lamar, Col, was held up
and robbed of his watch and pocket
book containing between $26 and $685.
Incidentally the case furnished a
chance for some very fine work on the
part of the police, for the money and
watch have been recovered and two of
the three robbers are behind the bars.
The men arrested are DOC" Far
row, who is a Santa Fe brakeman on
the kinsley branch and j. w. Frank
lin. driver for the International Har-
vester company. There were three
men in the holdup gang and the name
of the other person is known although
he has not yet been found. The stolen
property was found at the home of
Farrow so there Is no mistake about
his connection.
The affair took place on the Santa
Fe depot platform where Smart had
gone at O'Clock in the morning to take
a train.
