AUTO|STS OBJECT
TO PETTY PINCH
Trade Bodies Criticise Pc
lice for Many Arrests on
Minor Charges.

Allegations were made yesterday
necessarily active in gathering in
automobiles for minor infractions of
the city ordinances governing motor
cars. It was charged that the prose-
cutions amounted to prosecutions and
that the activity was due to the fact
that the police pension fund benefits
from such fines.
Members of the Chicago Automobile
Trade association made the charges at
their meeting yesterday. A commit
tee was appointed to investigate the
matter and employ lawyers to attack
the present code.
The charges against the police de-
partment followed receipt OF informa-
ton that 235 automobile owners were
hailed into the Harrison street station
yesterday morning. Most of them were
accused Of having insufficient lights or
improperly placed numbers.
The campaign against wholesale ar
rests win be waged Immediately. the
Chicago Motor club, the Chicago Auto
mobile club, the Garage Owners ASSOC
citation, the Chicago Chamber of Com
merce, and other organizations having
been solicited to aid the C. A. T. A. in
its fight to secure changes in the pres
ent law. 2. C. E1kins. C. w. Price and
Charles NJ. Hayes are members of the
committee which will lead the protest
ants.

SOx REACH CAMP
AT PASO ROBES
Rain Greets Squad, But Cal
lahan Insists on Short
Workout.

Paso Robes. Cal, Feb. 25--The
White Sox reached their training camp
yesterday and rain came with them. All
the native sons glowing accounts Of
how fine the weather has been didn't
prevent the first day from being wet
and cold.
Manager Callahan, however, did not
allow his plans to be thwarted COM
pletely In the afternoon. in spite of
the misty rain, he ordered the players
TO don their ball suits and sent them
outdoors for the first workout of the
year. 1t was short and much to the
point. just like the lecture which pre-
coded at the hotel.
The popular form of exercise was the
game of racquets on the specially pre-
pared courts. The grounds. a bit sandy
and on high ground, were comparative
ly dry. 1t was possible for eight ath-
letes to indulge in the game at the
same time without interference.

EVANS CONTINUES STORY
ON USE OF GOLF CLUBS

cleek that / use is too thin for long
grass shots and here a spoon would
come in handy If I had one. l have a
good bladed midiron.. however, that I
use for all these shots, and I can get
nearly cleek distance with 1t. I also
use a cleek off the tee when I find my
self unsteady with wooden clubs as
Travers did at Wheaton during the
national finals. Again l have often
played a half-cleek shot to avoid over
hanging branches and other troubles of
that nature. But need few cleek
shots in a round OF we'll played golf.
The midiron Is the best all around
club in ones bag. 1t can be used for
almost everything. If / were going to
buy a child a club, or should suggest a
single club for any one. 1t would be a
midiron. When I used to play around
at dear old Edgewater with Mr.. Sellers.
Mr.. Ames and Mr.. Moulding and others
i had only a midiron. and those were
days of genuine enjoyment. 1t is the
easiest club for the beginning to play,
because 1t is lofted back far enough
for him to get as much distance as he
probably would with driver. and it is
much 1easier to hit squarely.
l use only one-half or three-quarter
shots with my midiron. To my way of
thinking one should never play a deep,
full. hard iron shot except out of long
grass or other bad lies when you need
extra distance.
The chief objection to a midiron shot
is the roll it gives at the end of shot
On our grounds IL is not apt to run
smoothly. and for that reason I do not
use a midiron much as formerly. Ny
jigger gives me a much higher ball
and practically a midiron distance
when I hit 1T my strongest.
However, 1 can lay the blade of my
midiron over and get a high ball with
the customary slice at the end. But
am the firmest sort of believer ir
playing all clubs from their natura
lies

"A short putt?" repeated the hero

In tales of the American turf and it's
side dishes it would be almost turf
sacriIege not to give Roseben a promi-
nsyt piece IN the history Of the thor
oughbred. 1t is doubtful IL ever there
was a much greater idol than the Big
Train as the late "Davy" Johnsor's
big horse was termed. The nickname
was applied on account of the enor-
NOUS size of this horse compared with
the every day thoroughbred. He stood
practically head and shoulders above
all his opponents. ard when he was
compelled to force his way through a
field of horses in a race he resembled a
monster beside a field of pigmies or.
more mechanically speaking. a gigan-
tic locomotive running wild.
The amount of money "Davy'' john
son won and lost on Roseben will new
er be known unless he has left a rec
ord, which is unlikely, as "Davy" was
never much of a man to itemize his
racing accounts after they had been
settled one way or the other. 1t is safe
to SAY however. that at different times
he wasered in the neighborhood of
$685. 600 on the great Splinter, for that
is all that Roseben ever was, though
Johnson tried many times to make
himself believe. also his friends, that
Roseben was a horse that would go a
route, and this opinion cost the great
plunger many thousands of dollars.
He even tried to make him win a
Brooklyn handicap, at a mile and a
quarter, and was so confident that he
had winning chance that he backed
him in the future books for the Brook
Ign handicap in 1906 to win upward OF
$4,000, and when 30 to / was offered
against the horse the day of the
race Johnson could not resist the temp
tation to wager thousand or two
more on him. Had he won the Brook

THORPE A REAL
BALL PLAYER

Marlin, Tex, Feb. 25.-Jim Thorpe
was a decided feature of yesterdays
practice game in which the McCormicks
defeated the Doyles to 2. Besides
playing perfect first base, the big In
dian secured a single and triple off
the delivery of Smyth and ran bases
in great style. Other features were
some pretty catches by Doyle and a
running stab of a hot liner by big Bill
Jacobson. The game put up by the
Giants captain was especially brill
liant. Doyle tore off two singles. ac-
copied eight chances without a slip and
figured in fast double play.

lyn that year it is believed that John
son would have collected upward of
100000 from the bookmakers- That
was unquestionably the largest amount
the plunger-for ''Davy'' was all that
the word impIies-stood to win on his
horse during his career.
1t was in 1909 that Roseben broke
down in a race, was retired a rae
ing proposition and presented by Mr..
Johnson to Miss Harriet T. Wadsworth.
a daughter of one of the racing com
missioners. to be used as a saddle
horse.
When Roseben was led from the
track practically on three legs, his
trainer. Frank Weir( and the attendant
who had cared for the horse since he
had been in Weir's charge. had hard
work to suppress their emotions. Rose
ben was the pet of the stable, not only
because he was a great race horse, but
from the fact that his disposition was
almost human. las gentle and as low
ing as kitten" was the expression
Weir always used when speaking of
the disposition of Roseben. Never was
there a horse with more lovable ma
ture."
After he became the property of Miss
Wadsworth he was turned out and doc
tored. He recovered from his lame
ness and is now being used as a saddle
morse by Miss wadsworth.
"a child can ride him." said Mr..
James wadswcrth in a letter to Mr..
Johnson before the latter died. MY
daughter is so much attached to him
that a fortune Gould not persuade her
to part with him.

That Mr.. Copper's' backing will come
from parts of all wings of the par
ty. Arthur p. German and the
city organization, it Is claimed have
promised to support him. This &C
ton upon their part, it is said,
arises from their desire to punish
Comptroller Harrington for refus-
ing to vote for John F. O'Malley for
State Auditor Various county
leaders on the Eastern Shore who
have been opposed TO Sen. Smith
are said also to have promised II
support Mr. Copper State Senatof
