MOTORING NOTES

A carload of Reading Standard motor
cycles consigned to John 7. Bill company
left the factory the 18th Of January and
are expected to arrive within the next few
days
A carload of four-cylinder Jacksons ar
rived on Thursday of last week and an
other shipment containing runabouts is ex-
pected to arrive soon.
Another shipment of White Steamer with
the straight line body has been placed on
tie floor to be tuned up for delivery.
A carloads of Pope-Hartfords is on the
way and nearly here.
AS some of the factories are not sending
any more raw stock through their factories
since the recent financial furry there is a
probability of a shortage of cars for de-
livery this spring. Some of the wise ones
who thought that they would wait and take
advantage of the furry in the money mar
ket and get lower prices stand good
chance to slip pu in their venture, as the
dealer will have more chances to sell than
he has cars and will be able to make terms
that will be more to his advantage and not
entirely to that of the buyer
The really wise man will make his de-
post now and take the car as soon as he
can get It If he really wants a car and has
the money in sight to buy it.
Cuba is spending $4,000, 600 in good roads
and it is not improbable that a great road
race will be possible in Cuba for next year
The Cubans very anxious to see the
completion at an early date of circuit on
which they may promote a race to rival the
Vanderbilt road race and Cuba is willing TO
give up a prize commensurate in value with
the race. The last road race held in Cuba
was a success in every way and the Amer
lean makers and also the importers of cars
to America believe that a grand race should
be run yearly In Cuba to insure great
trade with Americas sister republic.

AUTOMOBILE is NOW
BASEBALL'S RIVAL

"Jiggs" Donahue, the great fielding
first baseman for the Chicago White
Sox baseball team, is giving 'Old
Roman Comiskey some additional
worry just before the opening of the
training season because of a strong
leaning toward the automobile lad.
Recently Donahue became chummy
with Comiskey's old-time pal, q. @.
Cordner, Chicago manager of the Stu
debakef Automobile company, from
whom the master of the White Sox
has just ordered a new touring car of
1908 vintage. "Jiggs" came to the con-
clusion that anything good enough for
the boss was stylish enough for him,
and Immediately proceeded to learn the
art of automobile driving.
Unfortunately for Comiskey, Dona-
hue threatens to become racing
driver, and has made overtures to
Cordner to permit him to drive on the
tracks during the summer. The first
sacker likewise wants to pilot a Stu
debaker machine in the Glidden tour.
Comiskey knocks all these aspirations,
for he would have some trouble digging
up first baseman who can do the
fielding stunts perpetrated almost
every summer day by "Jiggs."

AT SLIGHT EXPENSE

A Chicago automobilist named Aver

IN a Hotchkiss car, in which he covered
about $500 kilometers, distance APP
proxiinating a straight line from Paris
to Denver, Colo. Mr.. Aver states in
his diary that he made this great tour
at an astonishingly low expense for
up-keep of the car.
This great circuit of nearly 10000
kilometers," says Mr.. Ayers diary,
was made without skipping turn of
the engine or without expense for re-
pairs of any kind. Out of a large list
of supplies and extra parts which l
took with me from Paris / used only
one spark plug and two small springs"
Mr.. Ayers tour, with a party of
friends, ran from Paris through Tou-
louise, Mines, Nice, Rome, Florence,
Ravenna, Ferrara, Padua, Venice,
through Austria to Germany, to Carls-
bad, then through Metz, across the
French frontier to Paris.
