That single ratio had to do the best
1t could under all circumstances. Now.
with two ratios. there is just double
the means for promoting the economic,
cal and Seficient application OF the
power developed by the engine to the
driving 81 the car.
On the 1914 Cadillac the low direct
drive gear ratio is 1865 to /; the high
direct drive gear ratio is 90 to /. The
low is especially adapted for city
driving where traffic problems are
met, where speed must be low an
stops and starts frequent. A simple
convenient electric switch changes
the gear ratio from the low direct to
the high, direct and the car Is ready
for conditions which permit a speed
rate OF 16 miles per hour or moro.
With the high direct gear ratio In
operation at ANY given speed Of the
engine, the speed Of the car is In
creased about forty-two per cent over
what It would. be with the low direct
gear ratio. This point is illustrated
thus: AT. an engine speed OF TOO reyo-
lutions per minute with the low d.
rect gear. the, car speed Il II miles
per hour: employing the high direct
gear will increase the speed to thirty
miles per hour without any increase
in engine speed.

is lowersfuel consumption because OF
the facts Just stated and because the
fuel is used to great advantage. 9th
er advantages include less friction In

almost the entire elimination OF vibra-

There are several other features OF

Motorists, mindful Of the Cadillac
achievements in the development OF
the automobile, and therefore accus-
toned to look to that car each year
for new and progressive features, are
reading with avidity the 1914 an
nouncement just issued, In which q
last is revealed the nature OF the lat
est models. In view OF past Cadillac
accomplishments, which included the
introduction Of the first practicai
electric cranking device. and there
fore the RELOCATION forever OF the
awkward method of pumping the en-
CINE into activity by means Of hand
labor, the keenest curiosity was
aroused as to what the new mechant-
cal element would be.
That curiosity has been appeasea
by the announcement that the 1914
Cadillac will be endowed with q two
speed direct drive axle. While cur
iosity has been somewhat satisfied,
the new mechanical element has
started a buzzing of discussion ana
comment, because the device will
have revolutionary effect on the ye-
suits attained in luxury, flexibility
and economy. Executives of the Cad
Has are already assured by letters,
kilograms and a rush OF visitors that
no other forward step ever taken has
created such profound impression
or aroused more widespread interest.
The methods by which the 1914
Cadillac two-speed direct drive axle
secured increased luxury, efficiency
and economy are most appreciated by
the man who is thoroughly versed in
automobile mechanics. Some idea,
however may be given OF this revolu.

Wonderfully.

Scouts eyes have been flashed on
Joe Jenkins, premier catcher with
the Keokuk baseball club and star
catcher of the healthys group Of back
stops in the ;entral Association. 1t
can be almost predicted without fear
of contradiction, that this will be
jenkins last year in minor league ball
and the statement is not hazarded as
the Tennesseean has shown class
far superior to anything in the cir
cult, behind the stick and with the
timber in his hands.
Sunday at Ottumwa, three big
league scouts turned their glims on
jenkins and were nightly pleased
with the work of the Keokuk player.
The scouts were George Huff Of the
Cleveland Maps; Fred Lake of the De-
troit Tigers, and Hugh Bezdek of the
Pittsburgh Nationals. Report comes
from Ottumwa that these three watch
men were especially strong for the
work of Joe Jenkins of the Keokuk
club"
IL FaSteSt CatcneF OF all Time.
Since Jenkins was secured from the
Memphis club in the southern asso-
ciaiton the first of the season, he
has been all in show by himself as
catcher in this league. His hitting
has been phenomenal at times and
his work at the stick at all times
consistent jenkins hitting for the
season to date is not under 300. He
was sticking at .301 gait in June
and has been going even better than
that in July.
This can be really said to be the
catcher's first year in organized base
ball He was playing with Rome, Ca
last year, having caught forty-five
games with that club before Memphis
picked him up. His work behind the
stick has developed in less than q
year as prior to the time of his re
