PAT D0UGHERTY HAD
 NO CHANCE TO ARGUE
 WITH UMPIRE CONNOLLY

Pat Dougherty of the Chicago White Sox is a wit. He also has a tongue make open protest to the umpire, but many are the exchanges of the courte- .sies he participates in.
 Few players have won more games for the White Sox through their hit ting and base running than Pat. For years he was the idol of the south side fans Last year in one series with the Athletics Dougherty dropped game. Sox fans like to beat the A'h- 1etics, and Dougherty had to stand for a lot of roasts.
 Unfortunately, .Pat famed the first AnS were Aafter him on the new Eas well as od score Tommy Connolly. another son of Erin.'' was in charge Of the game. Pat was peevish over his reception and the umpire was the only person he could argue wth. and he didn't care very much whether he played or not, he afterwards admitted:
 After I had famed the first time, " said Dougherty, 'I told Connolly that just as soon as I was satisfied I had gone blind I intended to start umpir- ing"
 You had better send in your applf- cation today" replied Tommy
 The second time after Tommy had called two strikes on me, popped up yel'e murder Turning to Tommy. remarked: Tt is strange why MT Johnson persists in running an old mans home for umpires.'
 't T was thinking the same thing about Comiskey's policy towards cer- tain players, answered Connolly.
 On my final appearance I struck out, much to the delight of the Sox fans, and to my dis gust. Two strikes were called and both were good ones. You must have gotten in late last night I said to Tommy as I walked toward the bench.
 A trifie earlier than you, from the way you are hitting said Conro-ly nice and quietly. Also tell MT Duffy when you get to the bench that have decided to strengthen his team by sending his left fielder to the club house.
 That was a tough day for me- said Pat, with smile: ..I lost every argu- ment I started. The only c0nsola ion was an Irishman got every decision"

 Uppy Upham, the human string bean who piIoted the Mechanics tn many victories last season, will be taken south with the New York Amer jeans in March, according to the list sent out by the manager of the Yan- kees. Upham is only youngster and has p 'enty of time to develop. The New York club grabbed him three years ago from the Ohio-Pennsylvani lea que and in 1910 farmed him to Bridgeport, He did not do very we'll ed flashes of form Last season Up ham was not taken on the New York clubs training trip but came direct ly here from his home in Ohio. He got a good start and made an excel lent record, winning -19 and losing nine. Several of his defeats were by 2 to ] and to scores. Manager WoIverton of the Yankees looked up UppY's record in this league and ap- parent'y decided the big fellow was worth another trial.

ABOUT 4,OO0, 900 TIRES
Is An Estimate Made for This Year By a Man
 ufacturer

An Edea of the marve'ous growth of the motor car industry and it's allied interests may be gathered from an es- innate of the number of tires that have been manufactured in this coun- try during the past five years SIsch an estimate has been made by R. R. Drake, manager of the service depart ment of the United States Tire Com pany.
 since the beginning of 1907 the tive makers of America have marketed in the neighborhood of 5000, 900 pneumatic tires, the yearly output being as fol 1,s5o. .O00: 1910. 1,SOo,0 1911S. 1900, GOO; total. g 00o GOO.
 While 1911, as will be observed from these figures. proved the biggest year for tire makers ir the history of the industry, there is no question but 1912 will beat it. In fact, we are looking sor a demand that win approximate 1000, 900 tires. And when you get to calculating tires in n1i'ltons. as man ufacturers must do at the present time, you gather an idea of the sizable proportions of the, Industry
