The year 1912 witnesses the passing

uItra-conservative one in view Of Of
fetal figures complied for the first
nine months, which showed 990s7SS su-
tomobiIes in service in this country.
OF this imposing total 226,64O are 1872
models. Thus it appears that the
average monthly sales reached more
than 1000.
Indications are that the year 1913
will be a hummer This is based upon

CHANCE TELLS FRIEND HIS
DEMAND On YANKEES IS STEEP

Chicago, Ill. Dec. 2S.-Frank Chance
will not manage the New York Ameri-

salary he demands and a percentage Of

is the largest ever demanded by man
ager of a ball club.
In a letter to Charles Williams, treas
urer of the Chicago Nationals. Chance
gave the news Of his negotiations with
Frank Farrell, owner of the New York
club. Chance wrote that he really in
tended to retire from baseball, but since

Highlanders. 'he wants enough money
to make it worth while
7 do not think I will get what i
have asked for" writes Chance. MY
price is steep; in fact, the highest ever
demanded by manager, but intended
to quit the game and now I want to
make it worth while. 1t is a good bet,
though, that I will be right out here
on my ranch next summer instead of on
a ball field. 1t is paying me better than
ever and I am cOntented. Still, should
Farrell grant me what I want the prob
abilities are that I Will GO
Chance added that he viii not go east
to discuss the situation with Farrell
until the latter agrees to his terms.
