 Had the battle been fought in a little faster time it would have been exception lead in the first inning, and the Barons were not able to tie the score until the sixth. In the seventh Columbus added a couple to it's single tally, and in it's half of the same inning Birmingham pulled one run closer to it's opponents. In the eighth, however, Pitcher F>uioich lost con trol of the ball, and after he had filled the bases by walking three men in sue cesson, Pitcher Bauer cut one over sec ond, which sent two across the plate.

than the ordinary metal now used, and
at the same time is of much greater
tensile strength than the latter. These
tests which the government made we're
to ascertain whether or not it was
possible to construct a torpedo that
would carry a cannon inside of it and
yet have perfect buoyancy and tensile
strength enough to withstand a charge
sufficient to give the torpedo velocity
of HOO feet per second. Commander
Davis, who was in charge of the ex-
pertinent, says that there was no dis
tortion of the gun after the charge.
Mr.. Ford Immediately took steps to
place it in use in the manufacture of
his own cars. In actual figures the
steel used in the tube, according to
Commander Davis, would give a ten
sile strength of 250,00O pounds to the
square inch and would permit the tubes
to be reduced to a small fraction of
an inch in thickness compared to their
weight
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-24

A large garage with fully equipped
machine shop and experienced work
man is one of the conveniences, and
large floor area affords adequate stor-
age space for machines whose owners
desire to spend the night.
A well organized movement is on for
the construction of an automobile
boulevard from Los Angeles to Venice,
and incorporated in this scheme are
plans for materially shortening the dis
lance and the elimination of some of
the curves in the present route.
Instead of the roundabout way by
which Venice is entered at present
which is the only drawback of the
present road, direct avenue through
what is now known as the Midway and
joining the main road in the neighbor-
hood of the Ocean Park city hall, will
make this attractive resort still more
popular with the motor people.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-24

W ENICE, the "Coney Island of Los
" Angeles" on account of its easy
access and it's superb accommo-
dation for autoists, has come to be
known as the Mecca of the devotees
of the auto car.
The road to this beach is one of the
best in the state and on Sundays and
holidays a continuous procession of
machines of every description may be
seen on their way to the seashore.
1t is common sight to see between
fifty and one hundred auto vehicles
parked on both sides of Windward ave-
nue., and on special occasions the over
flow fills the adjacent thoroughfares
and extends onto the pier. The mo-
torist need have no fear for the safety
of his machine while he takes in the
sights of the beach, as the Ocean Park
police are always on hand to keep a
watchful eye on their valuable charges.
