SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD
FAMOUS AUTO DRIVER TO
RETURN TO RACING CAM

The lure of gold and glory is proving
too strong for another of the great
champions who had dropped from the
lime light i'm the world of sport and
announced his voluntarily retirement
from the hazardous motor racing
game The last of these past masters
who will try TO come back" is Louis
Chevrolet, the famous Franco Swiss
pilot of racing automobiles who has,
until recently, held the road race rec
ord of America and who sprang into
sudden fame by winning the Cobe tro-
ply over the Crown Point course in
Indiana in the 1909 season.
Chevrolet, according TO persistent
rumor, will don Buick racing toys
again this year for one event. that be-
ing the 500-mile International Sweep
stakes race on the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, Memorial day, May 30. The
offer of $4,000 i'm gold, with a capital
prize of $4,000 To the winner of the
classic. has proven too much for the
daring Chevrolet. and despite his
thrilling experience in the Vanderbilt
Cup race last October, when his car
left the course and dashed through the
fence, killing his mechanic, it is given
out on good authority that Chevrolet
will be seen on the Indianapolis brick
track i'm May.

MACK CAN ONLY
II SEE ATHLETICS
QUAKER'S MANAGER THINKS HIS
TEAM WILL REPEAT LAST
SEASONS GREAT RECORD
OF VICTORIES.

New York, Feb. 1.LConnie Mack
of Philadelphia, back from his honey
moon in Europe. was quite willing to
talk baseball upon his arrival here.
Il expect to win the pennant again
this coming season. said Connie, but
| am not making any prediction, mind
you. The American league race this
season should be a hummer. The
weaker teams. Understand, have been
strengthened and those which had
such. a cinch last season must hustle
this year.
Hal Chase and his Yankees are
likely to give us a heap Of trouble this
year.
"CRhase has a swell staff of young
pitchers and they are sure to cause
lots of trouble and with Sweeney and
Blair as catchers, the Yankees have
about the best backstopping depart
ment i'm the league. Every man on
the Yankees is a young fellow, and
they are sure TO show Improvement
over last seasons work. And, my
goodness they displayed enough gin
ger and class last season TO make all
the other clubs worry.
"They tell me that Hughey Duffy
has corralled swell lot of young
sters for Comiskey. Well, Hughey has
a great pitching staff, and if his new
men pan out well Chicago must be
watched closely.
Jim Mcclure has been with Cleve-
land long enough to develop a winner.
There is no man in the game who
knows or understands a player better
than Jim. He told me last fall that
he had lot of new talent signed up
for this year that are sure To make
their mark in the baseball world, and
with Lajoic at the Keystone, just put
1t i'm your hat that Connie Mack says
the Maps are going to show the fans
some real baseball.
"As for my own team. | don't care
to boast much. But really don't see
how we can be beaten if we play the
same brand of ball the coming season
that we did last year 1 have as good
pitching staff as there is in the
league. The Athletics infield could
not be improved upon, and my outfleld
is the heaviest smuggling one in the
league And the catchers surely show
ed up well in the worlds series"

IDEAS OF The MANAGERS
REFLECTED BY PLAYERS

New York. Feb. THAT personal
ideas and characteristics of the mana
ger of a ball club can be reflected in
the players. is proved i'm the records
which were recently issued, showing
that st. Louis led the National league
i'm the number of bases on balls and
that the Giants led the league in hit
ting.
Until Bresnahan became manager OF
St Louis the Cardinals had never been
considered a good waiting" club. He
was the best waiter" that McGraw
ever had and that is why he was put
at the top Of the batting list Roger
always insisted on waiting for that
fourth ball even If he ran the chance
of being called out on strikes. With
two strikes and three balls on him he
would often let the next one go by
i'm the hope that the umpire would
give him the benefit of the doubt and
call il a ball. When Bresnahan went
TO St Louis he carried that idea with
him and forced all Of his players to
become walters" II SO happened,
however. that Roger played it too
strong. and the team did not get
enough hits to drive the runners in.
In the case of the Giants their hit
ting record also reflects the ideas OF
McGraw. The Giant manager, In his
playing days, was essentially a hitter.
lie always believed in protecting the
base runner. If there is man on
first he will always insist on the play
er hitting i'm behind the runner or
working the hit and run. He drove
that idea into his players. and in this
way a large number Of hits were rec
orded that would never have been
made Il a waiting policy had been
Another peculiar fact that is shown
by the new records, Is that Cincin-
natl was the best base stealing club
i'm the league. The Reds were also
a good hitting team. Putting those two
things together II is hard to under
stand why they failed to make as
many runs as the other clubs. Arthur
Irwin explains Il by saying that the
Reds ran bases at the wrong time.

HUGH CHALMERS EXPECTS
GOOD SEASON FOR AUTOS

Detroit, Feb. THAT there is no
slump in the automobile industry is
indicated by the activity in the factor
les of the leading companies. Man
ufacturers keep pretty close track of
conditions. They are not prone to
keep up full speed unless business
warrants IL; yet some companies are
increasing their forces as rapidly as
possible.
The Chalmers Motor company. foI
instance, reports that it is working it,
full force and overtime in some de.
qartments. This company has been
putting on men at the rate of 25 to
30 a day for the past three weeks fol
lowing the usual slack. An average
of 500 men are working on the nigh,
shift at this time.
I'VE are producing an average of 40
cars a day." says Hugh Chalmers
and we are worrying about keeping
our production up To the demand.
Since our 1911 models appeared we
have done more business than i'm the
same period of the 1910 season. The
outlook for spring looks very bright 10
US. We did not originally plan 10
build many more cars this year than
last. as it has never been our policy
to see how many we could build
Hence our dealers expect the usual
shortage of Chalmers cars about May.
At present we are getting up to top
speed in the factory so that those who
have ordered for early spring delivery
won't be disappointed"

NEW NUMBERS
FOR AUTOMOBILES
SECRETARY OF STATE REQUESTS
THAT MOTOR VEHICLE LAW
BE STRICTLY EN-
FORCED.

Copper country police officers have
received letters from Secretary of
state Martindale, calling attention to
the desirability of better enforcement
of the automobile laws throughout
the state, complaints having been re-
Ceived that last year many cars were
operated with 40 numbers displayed,
or with home made numbers or dis
playing but one number instead Of two,
as the law requires.
The motor vehicle law requires each
motor vehicle operated upon the high
ways of the state to be equipped with
number plates furnished by the secre-
tary of state, these plates to be dis
played one on the front and one on the
rear OF each machine. Every car must
be so equipped. There is no provision
for the display of plates other than
those furnished by the secretary of
state Except in the case of a non-resi-
dent owner) and all numbers assigned
in any year expire with the end of that
year.
Since Jan. l, all machines must have
1911 plates; 1910 plates cannot longer
be used. The new plates have a re-
verse color scheme to those of 1910
The new plates are Of black enamel

BASEBALL WIZARDS SCHEME.
Minneapolis Man Claims He Can In

Chicago Feb, President c. w.
Murphy Of the Cubs has received a
letter from a Modest Violet" at Min

magnate that he has three important
suggestions which If adopted will ben

President Murphy said today that
he spent a sleepless night debating
the question, but inasmuch as the
knowledge of The wizard would inn
prove the game as per cent he would
probably want a million or two for his
ideas.
So he felt that baseball would have

NEGRO DEFENDS
KIDNEY WALLOP
JACK JOHNSON CLAIMS THE
BLOW is DANGEROUS ONE
BUT CAN BE BLOCKED BY
GOOD MAN.

Chicago, Feb. Although there
are a number of fighters, promoters.
and critics opposed TO the kidney
punch. Jack Johnson. heavy weight
champion, is keen for the retention Of
the wallOp which has been the cause
of many fighters downfall The col
ored champion said yesterday if the
kidney punch is done away with the
ring will lose one of its most scientific
blows.
According to Johnson the kidney
punch can be blocked. and it can be
perfected to such a high point that
p knockout blow can be delivered, but
the big negro claims it is more scien-
tihc to block the wallop than it is to
deliver it. Jack did not know who
invented the blow, but 1t is the opinion
that Joe Wolcott was the most ac-
complished kidney puncher of any Of
the fighters he has ever known.
Unless a lighters kidneys are i'm
good shape to stand a lot of punching
he has no right trying to make good
at the game" the champion said. lin
all my fights, / never was hit hard
enough on the kidneys TO hurt me. but
/ believe this is due TO the defense
which l have perfected. | realize it is
a dangerous blow, but for every punch
known TO the pugilistic game there is
defense. just as there is for the kid
ney punch.
