Elects Officers

The Savannah Automobile club,
which has heretofore been a volunteer
organization, has taken steps for in
corporation. An order was granted in
the superior court at Savannah incor-
porating the club. The same evening,
organization under the Incorporation
took place, Frank C. Battey being
elected president, j. ]. Rauers, vice
president, and Arthur w. Solomon, Sec
retary and treasurer. The incorpora-
tors Of the club were: Mayor George

fall and that it will be in a position
to secure indemnity bonds in the case
of racing and in the general financing
of races and other events.

THREE-CUSHI0N GAME
IS GROWING IN FAVOR
Difficulty of Game Affords Greater
Enjoyment to Spectators-DaIy
One of Foremost Exponents.
Lamothe Is Wonder

Three-cushion caroms is undoubtedly
the billiard game of the future. accord
ing to the experts. Difficult as the 1871
and the 1872 games have been made,
the skill of the experts of the cue
has been such az more than to keep
abreast of them, and the spectacle has
been presented of a player making an
average of 100 in a 500-point game.
This involves much monotony as an ex-
hibition. although display of marvel
Gus delicacy of touch and wonderful
control of the cue ball. In recent years
the more open game of three-cushion
caroms has attained wide popularity
AS in the open game of playing foot
ball, the spectator is afforded more en-
tertainment. Great skill has been ac-
ouired by DAILY, De ORC. Horgan, Heus-
ten, Lamothe and others. st. Louis
has been the recognized center of the
three-cushion game, though, of course,
Il is much played in New York and
other large cities.
John DAILY, the champion three-cush-
ion player, is great bank-shot maker.
In fact, few of the players care to leave
the balls within two feet of each other
for that reason. DAILY does not pride
himself on his ability to make bank
shots, but on his long experience at the
three-cushion game. which gives him
greater knowledge of different ways of
making shots than probably any other
player.
Likes Difficult Banks
The hobby of James Lamothe, st.
Louis professional is difficult bank
shots in three-cushion matches.
Lamothe was one of the top-notch
players in the Grand billiard academy
Of st. Louis when that institution was
in operation. In games with Horgan,
De Orc, Jevne, Day, Lean and Houston
Iamothe demonstrated his ability. AT
first 1t was thought that luck played
IL great part in some of the bank shots
Lamothe made. When day after day
nc ripped off the most sensational kind
of bank shots, either leaving the balls
practically safe or counting the ma
jority of the time, the other players
began to sit up and take notice. 1t was
not long until Lamothe was conceded
by all the players to be the best player
at bank shots in ST. Louis. and the ma
iority of players still admit 1t.
To play bank shots in three-cushion
eames requires a strong, steady stroke
at times, with heavy English, and-a
perfect knowledge of the angles of the
table. To many man the diamonds
on a billiard table do not mean any
thing more than an ornament, out
these marks of distance have won
many a game for Lamothe. He figured
that there is such thing as being too
conservative in playing billiards.
When there is chance for bank shct
with the opportunity TO leave the balls
safe. ne goes after the shot instead Oh
playing deliberate safety.
DAILY is about the only other man IN
ST. Louis who plays the same system.
The men simply cannot make the nank
shots thew have tried to, and If they
could make a success of them would
play them.

Members of Motor Car Company Say
Better Results Are Obtained
Through These Mediums
Than Any other

In announcing its advertising cam
paign for 1908 the Ford Motor COM
pany has stamped it's approval on
newspapers as being the proper me-
diums for advertising automobiles.
Newspapers will be used almost eX-
clusively and to a considerably greater
extent than ever before. The proper
significance of the fact will be more
appreciated when it is considered that
last year the Ford Motor company used
a great deal more newspaper space
than any other automobile manufac-
turer, and this decision is based on the
result of last years campaign.
sentiment has no place in advertis-
ing. It's too expensive and we insist
on spending our money where we get
results, and get them quickly said Mr-
Ford
Continuing. he said: 1.-The newspa-
per is the logical place for advertising
it's the only medium that is always up
TO the minute. With it your advertising
manager can take into consideration
local existing conditions and write copy
accordingly. -,
IAN automobile distinguishes itself
in some emergency-the same day the
fact is circulated broadcast in an /
vertisement. If we had to wait
month before we could use the facts
they would have lost their potency
become weakened by age.
Weather, finances, politics and cur
rent events all enter into the question
of selling automobiles. and as adver-
tising is simply one branch of a sell
ing plan it is necessary to place that
advertising in such a manner that
these conditions can be considered and
utilized.
ITS simply a case of striking when
the iron is hot.
do we get results? If we did not
we would shut it off decidedly and
suddenly. But we do and one way
we proved this may be interesting.
1--WE use Sunday papers very free
ly. Twice last season in one of the
largest cities we dropped out for the
day. Business fell off so per cent and
our branch manager sent in rush
letter to limit our experiments to the
other branches-he could not afford it,"

straight game of the series Outside

Gals could do absolutely nothing with
