)hassis Meeting in
Elgin Next August
Plans Under Way for Raoes-To Hold
Trophy Contest for Three
Hundred Miles.

NEW YORK March 25.-Although the
holding up Of the national circuit PROPOSE
ton makes the dates for automobile racing
meets rather uncertain, the road racing
section Of the American Automobile asso-
citation calendar is taking form Plans
have been completed for the holding Of the
national stock chassis meeting. Again it
will be staged at Elgin, III. Also II viii
take two days. August % and 2s. The
Elgin Road Race association and the Chi
cago Motor club report that they have had
the American Automobile associations as
surance to this effect.
Already plans are under way for the
races. At a recent joint meeting of the
two middle west organizations the contest
was discussed thoroughly. Three races will
be strung over the two days The course
that was used SO successfully last year will
again be chosen. In fact the promoters
have progressed so far with their plans
that they are in position to announce a
change in the starting time of the races
and a possible betterment OF the policing
proposition, effective though II was in
1910.
On August Is the Illinois, Kane county
end Fox River trophy events will be run,
while the big event for the Elgin national
trophy for cars under 600 cubic inches dis
placement will be held the following day
over SOO-mile course, or thirty-four laps
of the circuit
II was decided at the meeting that the
course for the coming races shall be
closed at twenty minutes before the start,
which will take place at IL o'clock this
year. instead Of 10 o'clock, as was the case
in 1910
with a later start plenty OF time will be
afforded the spectators 70 reach the van
tage point within the Enclosure, as no one
will be allowed TO cross the path Of the
cars after the first machine is under way.
An effort will be made TO secure federal
troops to patrol the course Last year the
Illinois National Guard did well, but the
promoters figure that the regulars would
be an, innovation and would be better
suited to the work.

to entertain either motion, declaring that
such an order could not be made In the
case OF a defendant who had pleaded guilty
to a mlsdemeanor charge.
Johnsons attorney announced he would
apply to the superior court for a writ OF

Polo Ponies Are to
Have Good Quarters
Challengers to Be Well Take Care Of
When They Come to This
Side for Match.

NEW YORK. March 25.-In order that
the Nottingham poloists may not be at a
loss for quarters for their ponies when they
arrive the American association Informed
the challengers that there would be plenty
of stall room at Lakewood.
Contrary to rumor, the Americans will
continue their practice work at Lakewood
when the English team arrives. There are
two fields at the Georgian court grounds
and abundant opportunity will be offered
both SQUADS for practice. The rumor that
the American team would leave Lakewood
upon the appearance Of their prospective
opponents and hold the fort at Meadow
Brook proves to be entirely without foun-
dalton.
Lawrence Fitzpatrick, trainer for Harry
Payne whitney, has received permission
from the town council OF Lakewood to
train the ponies I'm his care on the fine
speedway in that borough. He Will use the
Frank d. BEARD stables as his quarters for
the forty ponies in his care.
While the teams viii constantly be In

will be little or no chance 10 draw line on
their prospective merits through even inn

OF nearly all the preliminary work being
done at Lakewood, there will be no play
between English and American players.

This was the scheme proposed by Captain
2. d. Miller and put into effect at Rugby,
England, some time ago. II was also pro-
posed for the International in 1903, but
failed TO be put into operation. While not
definitely decided upon for the interna-
tional matches, the scheme will be given
a trial in some Of the early matches.

MCBreen in Favor
Of Bench Managers
Secretary Of Boston American Club
Says Game is Making Change
Necessary.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The discussion
as to the relative merits OF bench and
playing manager for base ball team is
again under way.
Il believe that before long all managers
will be bench managers" said Hugh Nc
Breen, secretary Of the Boston Americans.
II think the game IL coming to that Base
bail has gone ahead 80 much and come to
be SO fast that before long the manager
will have all he can do to sit on the bench
and direct the plays, without attempting
to get upon the coaching lines. Managers
must plan ahead must be figuring out the
next play and upon the lines they are apt
to lose sight of moves they have in their
minds in the immediate duties of coaching.
You see a manager coaching at first
base one minute and then a situation arises
that takes him over to third base and it
doesn't seem to me that he can make these
moves and at the same time plan as clearly
as IL he were on the bench without any
thing to bother him except planning Then
again, by sitting on the bench all the time
with his players around him he is con-
stantly getting their ideas and finding out
just what they think Of what ought to be
done"
Now 1t just happens that the Boston
Americans have p bench manager, which
may or may not influence McBreen's opin-
ion; but, at any rate It Is probable that
the secretaries OF the New York, Cincinnati
and Brooklyn clubs In the National league
and OF the Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland,
Chicago and Washington clubs in the
American league would agree with him.
The secretaries OF the other major league
teams would probably declare In favor OF
the playing managers, who are as follows.

in Cleveland, o.: Now that shaft drive
in electrics has become so universal, Il is
interesting TO recall the prediction made
nine years ago by the Baker company OF
this city, that shaft drive would supersede
chain drive In both gas cars and electrios
The far-siRhtedness Of this prediction is
more apparent when one stops to consider
how far back into the dim past OF motor
car construction nine years takes us At
that time shaft drive was mere theory,
And that It today is an accomplished, fact
in electrlcs. is due entirely TO the years "
shaft drive designing done by Baker on
gineers and it's final perfection two years
ago In the Baker electric.
"Chain drive manufacturers the country
over described the experiment az q foolish
waste Of power. Beautiful in theory
they said, but not in practice; chains are
more efficient
But after one seasons operation, the
shaft drive Baker had permanently estab-
lished It's superiority People had seen Its
unqualified success in the hands Of over
1,OOO owners One worlds record after an
other afforded stlll further proof Chain
drive was doomed.
zone maker after another hastened TO
meet the popular demand by adopting some
form of shaft drive in his 1911 product.
while the Baker shaft IL in line with
the best gas car designing. II was not
merely adopted from this source Il was
developed after years OF careful expert
menting to meet the special requirements
OF electric motor power. This was entirely
a question Of applying the shaft drive prln-
ciple to the needs Of electric vehlcles-of
developing, in fact, new type of trans
mission. This was a difficult problem and
its successful solution in Baker electrlcs
was a singular achievement OF modern en-
cheering skill,
The Baker shaft drive is not only
pioneer it is unique. There is none other
like it, In 1t friction has been reduced
TO a minimum by specially designed gear
teeth which afford almost perfect rolling
contact The shaft affords a straight I'M
drive with universal Joints which enablst
It to operate without the strain upon gears
bearings and springs inflicted by rigid
shaft. This accounts for the wonderful
elasticity In the Bakers transmission
which many other makers believed Impos-
sible in shaft driven cars.
Shaft drive has come to stay. Il Is
clean, silent and efficient. People want
It,"
