AUTOMOBILE GOSSIP.

The Panhandle Tex) Automobile As
socation will hold its first annual meet
ing from July 26 to 80.
The Automobile Club OF Worcester. ,
Mass. has revived the project of buying
a hill for its climbing contests. The
scheme resulted from an attempt by
owners Of lands abutting the Dead Horse
hill, which has been utilized by the
club. to raise the price for it's use. The
hill which the club proposes purchasing
lies a couple Of miles to the west of the
city. and the grade Is sleeper than that
of Dead Horse. There is q good site for
the erection of grand stand. from which
a clear view of practically the entire
course is obtainable. More than half the
money necessary for the project has been
pledged.
Slowly and steadily the oft-repeated as
sertion that the automobile Is rich
mans vehicle is losing its force. A few
years ago II had a certain foundation in
fact. 1t was almost as true as 1t was
notorious that many people mortgaged
their houses to buy automobiles and
economical on their food supply to buy
gasoline. Nowadays, If one starts with
good car. whether moderate or high
priced. and uses it with intelligence. care
and skill. he can keep his maintenance
cost down to reasonable figures
The value of fighting to finish is
shown by the victory recently won i'm
Ohio by motorists who protested against
the imposition Of taxes by both state
and cities. The suit was directed against
the city of Columbus and the city won
In both common pleas and circuit courts
The motorists fought on, and the su-
preme court held that the right of cities
to tax automobiles was taken away when
the legislature passed the new motor
vehicle law.
White Mountain tourists will find that
a great Improvement has been made In
the road leading through Crawford Notch
In the dangerous passage from the Great
Gate to the foot of the Notch hill ali
the bad turns have been taken out while
others have been Strengthened and widen
ed from the old width Of eight feet TO
from sixteen to twenty-one feet, chang
ing the grade from 33 per cent to 10 ner
cent from the gate to the foot of the
first hill. $40

herbert held him safe from that point to
clipping a fifth of a second from the old
mark, made by Afrtcander in 1903.

OUTFIELDER COLLINS NOW
MEMBER OF NATIONALS

Outfielder Orth Collins of the Buffalo
Eastern League club has been purchased
outright by the Nationals for $1,000 He
has been ordered to report to Cantillon in
Detroit Immediately.
Collins is Washington boy. and got
his first start on the local sand lots. He
was the leading hitter in the Cotton States
League four years ago, and one year later
was given a trial by the New York Amer
leans, but an unfortunate combination OF
circumstances put him "in bad" and he
was not able to do himself justice.
Last year Collins was one Of the pre-
mier sluggers Of the Terre Haute club
Buffalo purchased him and he played the
outfield for the Bisons this season Pres
ident Smith Of Buffalo could not afford to
carry him, owing to the Eastern League
salary limit, and was forced to put him on
the market.
owner Noyes closed the deal late last
night after several days of dickering.
Buffalo was willing to exchange Collins
for one of the Nationals young pitchers.
Mr.. Noyes offered them Nick Altrock, but
Buffalo did not want Nick. and then Mr..
Noyes asked them to set price on the
player. The price, 81 GOO, was acceptable,
and the deal was closed.

the elder hand has asked Tor cards ana
they are offered, he must take one and
he may take any number from one to

The elder hand being helped, the dealer

can propose again, and the dealer has
another opportunity to give cards or TO

posals and refusals carry with them no

trick. II he does not hold it, he must
say, Il play so that the dealer may
mark the king before card is led.
Otherwise the score for the king Is lost.
The second player in each trick must
not only follow suit but must win the trick

revoke. When a revoke is discovered

ing player scores nothing Il he makes

makes all FIVE. If the revoking player
does not make the odd trick there is no

Five points is a game. Winning three
or four tricks counts one toward IL and a
march counts two and a euchre two.
The king always counts one.
