Fans Curious" Ae Says.
The fan is curious creature in
many ways I love him, OF course
because he Is responsible for base
ball, and, consequently. responsible
for me, but I've had many a laugh
studying his moods. The "roasts"
] used to get were a serious mat
ter to me when I was trying to
break in, but I've since come to
have better understanding OF hui
man nature as applied to base
ball, and I've got different per-
spective of things.
When l was on my big run I
used to get RATS of letters from
the fans Most Of them were big
boosts They were all with me"
as they said, ana they gave me adj
vice as to how to pitch and what
to pitch. Then when | lost my

doesn't like a bald headed
player. Especially when he is a
catcher. Mordecai, you know, isn't
with the team in the East His
ankle is still in bad shape. He
sprained it in sliding into second
some time ago and still limps and
carries a cane. Since MordeCai
could be of no value to the team
sitting around Chicago, he era bbed
his fishing rod and went after the
denizens of the deep. And before
he departed President Murphy told
him that il he saw any promising
Young ball players while he was on
the road to let him know.
Well Brownie returned and re-
ported. He was watching one of
the teams in a minor league town
not far distant from Chicago and
was taken by the work Of one of
the catchers. The fellow could

they want to know how I train;

They evidently have an idea that
my method Of living has some bear
ing on my pitching-and I presume
it has, in a way
| am only too glad to answer
them, although don't imagine
that my daily existence varies
greatly from that of any other ball
player, pitcher or otherwise You
will find that they all live by rule
during the playing season-early
hours. careful eating, and the sim
pie life generally.
First and foremost | want to say
that dissipation is rapidly becoming
almost unknown among ball play
ers, especially during the season.
Personally. | never drink at all,
and I know but very few players
who ever drink to excess. l know
Of no member Of the Giants who
does that; they are the cleanest

The idea that man can not dis

While most ball players do smoke
or chew, you can lay 1t down as a

those of five years previous.
Increase 1853 Per Cent.

The paragraph that explains this
situation is taken from the census
returns on automobiles manufactured,
which relates that in 1909 there were
127,2S9 automobiles, an increase Of
104, 400 of 45S per cent in five years.
The increase in the number Of auto
mobiles does not offset the decrease
in the number of carriages and com
mercial wagons, which indicates d
transition period in which the vehi-
Gle users are holding off orders for
new vehicles pending the change from
horse-drawn to power propelled vehi-
cles. In the matter of pleasure and
family carriages the decrease of the
horse drawn vehicle Is perhaps more
than offset by the increase in auto
mobiles, for SO per cent of all the
automobile manufactured or 1872, sos
were of the pleasure and family type,
while the decrease In the number Of
family and pleasure carriages manu-
factured was 10S.9SS.
Census Director Durand has IN
course of preparation a report on the
number of horses and mules not on
the farms and ranges, meaning tho
number of horses and mules in cities.
While figures are not available It Is
known that the report will show, as
the foregoing statistics on carriages
and automobiles would naturally in
dicate, that the number of horses in
the cities has fallen off greatly.
Draw Interesting Deductions.
Already from the noticeable repla.-
ing of the horse by the automobile in
the larger cities health officersr have
drawn an interesting deduction, and
that is that the automibile will prove
the greatest factor in the elimination
of the fly menace, In that horse stalls
are the greatest source of the fly sup
ply.
The development of the automobile
industry in this country in the past
five years is without a parallel in the
Industrial world. In the brief period
of five years the amount of money in
vested in the manufacture Of auto
mobiles jumped from S23,000,000 to
S173,S37,000 The value of the output
Increased from s30.034, 900 to $249.-
p02, 900; cost Of material used from
$13,151, 900 TO s131, $4,000 wages and
salaries from sS,416 900 to s5S,173,OOO
and the average average number IF
employees from 1909 to 75,721.
Divided according to motive power,
121. .474 were gasoline. 3,639 were
electric and 2,376 were steam cars
The greatest number of automobiles
constructed in 1909 were from 30 to
so horsepower of which there were

class there were $3.50; of the 10 to

Two Successive Periods.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - The
story of a real revolution is written
in two census bulletins which have
been issued during the past week. 1t
is told in the paragraph which re-
lates that in five years-from 1901
to 1909-the number of pleasure car
riages manufactured in the United
States fell from 937,40 in 1904 to
S2S,41 in 1909, a decrease OF 10S, ,0SS,
of 12 per cent; that the number of
commercial wagons manufactured in
that period fell off per cent, that
the number of government and NUM-
cipal wagons fell of II per cent. Even
when you add to these figures, which
represent the output of 5,492 factories
that make only vehicles, the 1490S
carriages, ALB wagons and the 104
public conveyances manufactured. as
side lines by other establishments, the
census returns for 1909 still fall below

every part Of the globe, from South
Africa to the Orient.
These bulletins on the remarkable
strides of the automobile industry are
interesting, because they SHOW a de-
velopment so marked as to be revolu-
tionary, rather than evolutionary, in
character. Now that we have Just
begun to learn how to flutter in the
air, we may be at the threshold of a
greater revolution than that which
was ushered in when gasoline and
the storage battery were made to re-
place the horse on the streets.
any rate the bureau Of statistics and
the censusu bureau are not overlook
ing the aeroplane industry, which
Will find a place in Director Du-
rand's reports, and are already re-

20 horsepower class there were 30,
| 657; of the less than 10 horsepower
class there were 7,542, and OF the so
to 90 horsepower class there We're
1924. only twenty-nine automobiles IS
of 80 Or more horsepower were con-
structed in 1909 Touring cars of all
| types numbered 76,433 and runabouts
36,496. Next in number came auto
mobile buggies, of which there were
4,5S2, and then closed cars to the
number of 3,96S. OF the 3,2SS
freight automobiles manufactured in
that year, 1875 were delivery wagons
and 1,401 We're trucks. Nearly one
half of the trucks built came under
the 80 to SO horsepower class ana
nearly half Of the delivery wagons
We're of the 10 to 20 horsepower type.
Amount of Capital Invested.
The two census reports here re-
ferred to show that there is almost
the same amount of capital invested
in the 743 automobile factories as
there is in the 5,492 carriage fac
tories, in each instance about $175,-
100000. Approximately the same
ployed in each industry and approx
mately the same amount is paid out
in wages. There, however, the par
allel between the manufacturers Of
horse vehicles and of automobiles
stops. The automobile factories paid
terials than the wagon factories and
the automobile product was worth
about s100,0O0,0O0 more than the
product Of the vehicle concerns.
From another source there has
been added interesting data on the
subject of the automobile business
The bureau Of statistics, analyzing our
foreign trade in automobiles shows
that there Is decrease In the i'm
portation of foreign machines ard
large increase in the eXportation OF
American automobiles. In the period
OF nine months ending with Septem-
ber 1911, we imported 670 foreign
machines, principally from France
and Germany worth $1450,000
against 500 such machines imported
for the corresponding nine months OF
1910, which importations were valued
at s1.623.000. OF the $40 machines
imported in nine months of 1911
France supplied 227; Germany, 113;
Great Britain, 1O5, and Italy, SO.
Exports Increase Heavily.
Against this decrease in importa-
tions of automobiles stands the very
heavy increase in the automobile ex-
port trade of this country. For the
nine months ending with September.
1911, the United States sold abroad
11,244 automobiles values at $11,565,-
OO0, against 6,472 machines exported
during the corresponding period in
1910 values at sS,s7i,000. For the
corresponding period in 1909 the
shipments abroad aggregated but
3,426 cars, worth s5,4S1,00O. Thus
our export trade In automobiles has
increased at the rate of 73 and 80
per cent for two successive annual
periods. Canada buys most of our
cars. taking 4.107 in 1909; next is
England, which took 2.563. while
France. with a record Of 1852, Is the
next largest purchaser. The rest of
Europe took SS4 American automo-
blles, while Z few machines went to
