GIANT PITCHER
10UTED STRONG
Demaree Has Excellent Rec
ord-Steers Clear of
the Spitball.

Chicago. Sept. 10.-Albert Dema-
rec. the sensational pitcher Of the Mo-
bile club Of the Southern league. who
will report to the New York Giants
in September. began the present pen
nant pursuit by attaching himself to
seven consecutive victories, three of
which were recorded on a scoreless
basis. He has pitched consistent ball
all season. No other pitcher in the
league has worked in as many games
as has Demaree. who, though not
m%astodonic in build, has proved him
self a truck horse for labor. He is
speed and an iron wrist for effective
ness to battle the opposition rather
than the application of digestive juice
to leather. He is not a spitball pitch
er, and this fact. according to no less
an expert than the veteran Lou Criger
will do much to make him a Giant
regular in 1913.
In addition to working in more
games than any other pitcher in the
circuit. Demaree has pitched more
extra inning games. having INDUCED
in the overtime frolics to the extent
Of seven. In six of these prolonged
jousts Demaree was returned the vic
tor. triumphing in one eighteenth
ming contest, during which he caus-
ed twenty-one opponents to strike out.
1t is reported that Demaree goes to
the New York club for al outlay Of
$4,000 in cash. together with a play

AUTO NEWS

American genius discovered that if
sufficient effort Is put upon a chain
that the weight of a car itself auto
matically and effectively stops a ten
dency to slide or Skid on a muddy
road. After making that discovery,
the next thing to be done was to make
"a chain In such form that it could
easily be put on and taken off the
wheel. Genius took care Of that, and
Few devices have done more to in
crease the safety of the man in the
car than has tn chain.
1t Is an easy matter to be safe
guarded against this form of accident,
out in the rain. Nothing gives a
greater feeling of security than
chains on all ~fours;" for, of all skids
the front wheel variety is most to
be dreaded. as it is the hardest to
counteract by manipulation of the
steering wheel.
But In the driest weather. the eff
encountered or a sudden shower may
come up so short a distance from
home or your next stop, that you
would rather take the risk than get
out IN the rain to put on the chains.
In such contingencies. the ability to
do the right thig at the right time is
a great help. This is the advice of
~ SS000AbSA uiotOll ISL.
Drive Slowly,
First Of all. drive slowly over the
wet stretch. Like the Irishman's fall,
It isn't the speed that hurts: it's the
d d stop that does the damage. So.
by all avoid putting on the
brakes. a that simply locks the rear
wheels. and makes II easier for them
to slide by preventing their natural
tendency to roll ahead,
The the oar sta rts "a s,;do
off the rear. turn the front wheels
sharply In the same direction as the
rear ones are skidding. Both pairs
then present an acute angle to the line
wheels will resume rolling and follow
the front wheels instead of skiddinc.
Turning the front wheels in the
other direction will aggravate the
teeency to skid to a dangerous de-
gree.
After all is said. the best precaution
Is to have a set Of chains.

EDDIE FOSTER BEST
YOUNGSTER OF YEAR

Eddie Foster, Washington third
baseman. is the best young player to
come into the American league this
year. in the opinion of President Ban
johnson. This is what Johnson says
of Foster: Foster is a fast fielder.
covers a lot of ground. hits we'll and
plays a magnificent inside game. He
is a wise player in every way and is
improving all of the time.
This is his second time in the
American league. and he learned
much by his first experience. He was
with New York in 1910. but was not
Of much use, so was sold to Roches-
ter. Jim McAleer spent two weeks
watching him before he made up his
mind to take him to Washington last
fall.
THE only possible objection to Fos-
ter might be that he Is small. but
this does not appear to handicap him.
for he covers as much ground as any
third baseman. and his speed in get
ting after the ball is enough to make
up for my lack Of inches. He
throws to first accurately and fast.
and from almost any position.
1T is a delicate thing for me to
pick a player as the best youngster
in the American league, but 1 feel
that Foster deserves the distinction"

were characterized by Darrow as lies.
I never had anything to confess IN
this case, said DarrOw, this morning,
and never had any conversation with
any one regarding q confession. nor

Fredericks refused to state definitely
whether the prosecutions dOndtcted
any negotiations with the defence look

on a verdict.
