A HUGE BID FOR CRIGER.
Offers Boston Club $4,000
for q Catcher.

Chicago Nov. 14.-Comiskey offered
President John 1. Taylor of the Boston
red sox $4,000 for Catcher Lou Criger
night before last. Taylor told of the
offer yesterday. He withstood the temp
tationsl of a check for that sweet sum
and Criger will remain with Boston
The boss of the white sox refused to
discuss the offer when asked about It.
Why the sox should need another
catcher of Criger's caliber could not be
explained, unless Comiskey expects Sui
Ivan to retire. ''Sully' is now in Ire
land collecting a fortune recently In
herited by Mrs. Sullivan. Another wind
fall to Sullivan himself some
time ago, besides the small fortune
"Sully' has saved during his career
behind the bat, puts him in position
to quit baseball whenever he pleases.
OF course, it is handy to have two
catchers like Sullivan and Criger on
team, but only one can work at time
and except in case of accident one
would have to sit on the bench. How
ever, Con1iskey was most anxious to
get the Boston star. His offer of &c.
600 for backstop whose health is none
too good and who has seen the service
that Criger has is entirely without pre-
cedent

HEAR OF A BIG AUTO DEAL.
New York Motor Trade Gets RumOl
of Proposed AmalgamatiOn.


New York. Nov. 14.-Conhrming of
a rumor that has been heard fire.
quently in automobile circles regard
ing the probable amalgamation of
three large American factories, came
yesterday when it was officially denied
that George J. Kobusch will be con-
nected as president with the concern
that it is proposed to form. The de-
NAL was made through George C.
John, treasurer and general manager
or the st. Louis Car company, of
which Mr.. Kobusch is president
According to Mr.. John. the propos-
1tion was made to Mr.. Kobusch and
was declined. The company with
which the two men are connected is
one of the largest producers of street
cars. 1t also builds the American
Motor automobile. 1t was desired to
st. Louis Car company to the COM
bination. One of the richest men in
the city is said to be back of the pro-
ject to amalgamate the three fac
tories. Two of the factories under
stood to have agreed to enter the
combination are in Michigan and the
third in New York state. The state
ment from Mr.. Kobusch is the first
definite information regarding the
probable formation OF what several
automobile dealers assert will be a
trust
tories would have an effect on prices
there is little doubt and it is not i'm
probable that If the venture is car
ried through other similar moves will
be made. The most important feature
would be in the ability to secure spec
ial terms on the huge quantities of
raw material required. 1t would be
possible also to lower the cost of pro-
ductfon by making in each factory
only one type of car.

WILL TIME FAST AUTOS.
Promoters VIII Catch Speed at
Savannah With Electric Device.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-Chicago motor
dom, already famous for the many
innovations it has introduced in the
way of automobile contests, is about
to be honored by the use of a local
timing device which will be tested in
Prix at Savannah.
F. H. Trego Of the contest COM
mittee of the Chicago Motor club has
received a telegram from N. H. Van
Sicklen of Chicago. who now is in
Savannah assisting in the promotion
of the big road carnival, asking If
Trego would make the trip to
Savannah and install his timing
apparatus which the Georgians wish
to use to time accurately the big cars
over a two-mile stretch while the
race is in progress.
This timer was designed by Trego
especially for the Algonquin climb and
because of the difficulties met in prev
ious years in getting accurate results.
By its use Trego demonstrated that
automatic timing is from one-hfth to
one and one-fifth seconds faster than
a watch snapped by individuals His
scheme is simple, a suring being
stretched across the road at the bot
tom of the hill. At each end of the
string is a wooden peg which is in
serted in an electrical device. AS the
car touches the string these pegs are
pulled out, forming an electrical con-
tact which sets in motion a watch at
the top of the hill. AS the car
finishes it touches another string
which pulls out two more pegs and
the watch is stopped.
Not complaint was lodged against
the device at Algonquin and there
was no disputing the time. as is some
times the case when watches are held
by three men, who seldom agree as to
the exact fraction of a second.

Plank made twenty-five yards around

Guyot made four yards through the

The pass from center was poor, but
Bates succeeded in booting it between

to hold for him.

FOR SAVANNAH RACES.
Auto Speeding VIII Start at Re
sCectable Hour.

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 14.-There is
considerable difference in the time be-
tween the starting time of the races at
Savannah and those held at Long
Island and Dieppe, France. In the case
of Savannah the races do not start I'M
til $3.50 and IL o'clock. giving every
BODY opportunity of making all neces-
sary preparations. thereby taking their
time in getting to the course. Now in
the two former instances it was neces-
sary to either sleep on the course the
night previous to the race or get up so
early that the discontinue incurred
was of such a nature that it took
away half the pleasure of the race.
Then again, all details have been so
perfected that as soon as persons reach
the grandstand ushers will take them
to their positions and there viii be alb
solutely no confusion. Though the fact
that the grandstand and the start and
finish of the races are within the city
limits and within easy access by all
car lines an expense of only five cents
is incurred in reaching the course.

TO
Be CHEAP
ALAKEA STREET SHED PLANS
ARE MADE OVER AGAIN TO CUT
DOWN COST.

On the fifteenth of next month the
bids for the construction of the shed
which is to be placed on the Alakea
street dock will be opened for the
second time in the Department of Pu:-
lie Works. When the bids were open
ed some time ago, for the first time,
the lowest tender was made by John
Hughes, of this city, Offering to handle
the entire work for $72,S40 As the
total amount appropriated for the
work was but $4,000, the tenders were
all rejected and many notifications in
the plans have been made,
The most important of the changes
under which bids will be called for on
December Is, is in the shortening of
the building to be erected. Where the
first plans called for building to be
SCI feet in length, the plans now look
to a structure of but 443 feet The
width will remain the same The front
of the building which was extremely
handsome before has been very much
simplified under the new plans AMI
instead of being a structure which will
appeal to the eye in every way, it's
outlines will be much palmer and
more severe.
The plumbing of the building will
also be in the nature of a change
which will cut down cost and the style
Of the roof will be different. In this
manner it is expected that the bids
will cone within the appropriation
which now has remaining the sum of
$43, 549.01.
