Jsffries Picies Palzer.

Here's what Jim Jeftrdes thinks of the twenty round battle scheduled for Vernon Cal, New Years day:
 If Palzer doesn't stop Mccarthy in less than ten rounds I will be sur prised. O'Rourke has wonderful fighter in this big Dutchman. He 10 faster than I expected and Is & tre- mendous hitter. I had been led to believe Palzer was just a strong rough greenhorn, but l am now convinced that he knows 8 lot about boxing and ring generalsbip. He is one Of the best heavyweights I've ever seen. and unless I miss my guess he is the com ing champion of the world"
 Tim McGrath, the veteran trainer. who helped to put Tom Sharkey in the front rank of heavywefghts many years ago, also waxed enthusiastic over Palzer after he had seen him work at Jack Doyle's quarters near Los Angeles
 Why, this fellow ain't man." ex- claimed McGrath. He's monster. He don't belong to this age. be- lieve he could kill 6 man with one blow. Say, he has a heart all right. He don't want to hurt his sparring partners. If he cut loose I'd have to shut my eyes. I inst couldn't look He'll stop Mccarthy in three or four rounds"

EVERS SAYS THE CUBS
 WILL REMAIN FACTORS.
New Manager Points to Fact That He'll Have a Star Team-Doesn't Mind Tinker's Departure.

Johnny Evers, new manager of the Chicago Subs, is spending the winter at his home in Troy, N. T., where he declared that the Cubs would be much stronger than last sea- son even without the services of Joe Tinker, Frank Chance and Miner Brown. Evers said that the depart ure of Tinker would guarantee har- mony in the team, even though the position of shortstop might notNbe so effectively covered in the future
 Fans and critics who seem bo be ready to throw the Cubs in the dis card because Chance and Tinker have gone forget that we have other good ball players" continued the nervy Chicago leader. 'Is there a better catcher than Jimmy Archer? No! He will be In there every day and that means a lot. for he is the greatest thrower to bases in the game, and knows how to get the best results out of the pitchers.
 Tn the box the Cubs will not be weaker than last season. They will be stronger. if anything. Jimmy Lavender will improve. It was his first experience in major league com pany this year, yet he was wonder. Lou Richie will be on deck again, too, for another vigorous campaign, par ticularly against the Giants. Lefty Leifeld has plenty left and so has Ed Reulbach. I intend to have those four boxmen in tip top shape when the season opens on. April 10 and there'll be others to help them as we go along.
 "Vic Safer has developed Into one of the best first basemen in the big league. He took on weight last sea son, and his hitting improved won derfully. Heinie Zimmerman, with his big bat, will be tower of strength at third base. while your Uncle Dud- ley expects to show his best form ct the middle bag. I'm not worrying about filling Tinker's place at short field. Art Phelan, secured from the Reds, Is 8 high class youngster. He can play short or third base almost as well as the best men in the game Then we have Corridor from Detroit who is very promising. He played wonderful ball in Kansas City last season, but was worn out and stale when Detroit tried him in the fall. Al Bridwell, too. has 8 chance to get Tinkers place. If his underpinning is all right he may excel both Phelan and Corridor.
 "The Cubs will have a better out field than before. Mike Mitchell is sure of a pace. He is a corking hit ter and thrower. Schulte ought tc excel the others. Jimmy Sheclzard isn't back number yet, but he will have to compete with Clymer, Goode Williams, Knisely and several others If I can make trade or two for 8 couple of men with other Nationa league teams our chances will be i'm. proved, but if not I shall not worry The Cubs will fight harder than evel and if we get an even break in the luck, watch us!"

The "qasolene situation" as 1t has come to be called is going to make a great deal of difference to the auto mobile manufacturers, according to the view of several engineers, as gath cred by the New York Sun. The gen. eral idea appears to be that the curves of supply and demand are ap- preaching a point of intersection, or, in other words, that the excess of quantity of gasolene over the demand is getting smaller so rapidly that pres entity there will be more demand for high grade gasolene than the refiners can meet. It may be that these con- ditions with respect to the supply and demand do actually exist. There are many who are inclined to doubt 1t and to say that the price of gas"lene as an index of the shrinking sup ply-has advanced solely because 1t was found it could be advanced, and that there are no good reasons why gasolene enough cannot be refined. There can be no doubt. however, that there are more automobiles in use now than there were a year ago this time, and the increase in number of cars must mean some decided effect on the supply.
 The statistics of automobile use and.
 
 selves are vague and unreliable. But admitting that there are S00,oo0 cars running in the United States. and that the general mileage from a gal Ion of sasolene is 10, and that cars average 4000 miles 9 season running, as one manufacturer figures it out, then the gasolene consumption on this basis for the whole country would be 32o,0oo.o00 gallons. II can be seen that there is good chance of failing supply, inasmuch as automobiles are not the only sources of demand for the fuel
 The remedies suggested are two. One was addressed by a Standard Oil man to some engineers, and was the advice that less cars would have to bc built. He said that under the con - dirions production must De curtailed or else 50 enormous a number of ma chimes would get on the market that ih" price of fuel WOnld achieve pro- hihitive heights Otherwise. ii has been su sgested. thr thing to do is to devise engines that will make effective usc of much lower grade petroleum products. leading, Of course eventually to the use of kerosene generally tOi motors There have been some cars which did employ this fuel and eN- 'erimenrs with aarbDre iorS thai will make EroPcr gas uut Of kerosene have ueeu many and conducted 2 icpg time. Kerosene seems open 10 the same objections as gasoline. for thnt natter 1T automobiles arc too many eventually the supply of kerosene Til ! be cut down too far. as. according tC statements by the sellers. gasolene has l been reduced by the extra large num- | Der of automobiles.
