experience. Previous to the purchase
of my car the strain of my business
had almost forced my retirement, but
now, in spite OF the sixty-two years
that Father Time holds against me,
I am enjoying the best of health. Be-
fore my breakfast each morning !
drive about six miles to my farm and
bring supply of fresh milk and
eggs for the family. Since / pur-
chased my automobile / have travelled
over 30 600 miles in and about the
city of Anderson, and it Is to this
car and these travels that l owe my
good health. This daily drive has to
me proved "A vertible fountain of
youth. and to the man who has ex-
perienced a nervous breakdown. i
can say: Go thou and do likewise
The automobile Is a Godsend TO the
human race and every man should
own one"
When riding behind the powerful
engine OF tina automobile few people
appreciate the harmony of the in
finite number OF working parts which
afford to them the delightful pleasure
of anpihilating speed and distance.
Here is involved the skill of the
in. The second method is the step
that the owners of carburetters not
having the hot-air attachment are
compelled to take. The adjustment
chauffeur In affording to the owner
real service. To the casual observer it
seems an easy matter to handle the
powerful car, but upon the operator
rests the added responsibility of me-
chanical efficiency.
The day is past when owners of
cars accept any excuse. such as the
mufYier being .sshort circulated" when
their car ID stalled. owners of au-
tomobiles quite often know as much
about the automobile as the driver
and are therefore placed in position
properly to judge unnecessary delays.
These delays are often caused by I'M
reliable ignition.
The carburetter system will rarely
give trouble except In cases of foul
or dirty gasoline. To overcome a de-
lay from this source one needs only
to ordain of the carburetter or clean
out the pipe line without necessarily
changing the carburetter adjustment.
II 1t should be found necessary to re-
move the needle valve or other parts
a careful note az to their proper re-
placement should be made.
When all wiring is in place this is
usually the source OF trouble. How
ever. should the cylinder compression
be found good and the plugs in re-
pair and clean. the next in order is
an inspection OF the magnetic itself
Assuming all wires free from leakages
and the primary connections tight, the
trouble will invariably be found in the
timer Of the circuit breaker. This
may be foul with oil and dirt or the
platinum points may be found cor
roded. thus preventing clean max
ing and breaking of the primary cir
cult This part cleaned and the points
properly adjusted will invariably
touch the spot. SO 10 speak.

Il saw Arthur Shafer, of the Giants,
recently In Los Angeles. He told me
that he had not decided to retire from
baseball, but he was holding out for
pretty good increase in salary. He
said he would come back IL Manager
McGraw would accept his terms. He's
been playing there all winter and is
wonderfully fast. I'd like to have
him on my team.
Fred Snodgrass Is there, too. Say.
that was a shame the way he was
rcasted for muffiing that fly I'm the
last game Of the worlds series. /
told several newspaper men In Los
Angeles that Snodgrass wasn't to
blame, for any player was liable to
make such a mistake. Why. In read
ing over the games / noticed that
Snodgrass made several phenomenal
catches that perhaps saved the Giants
from an earlier defeat by the Red Sox.
When Snodgrass appears with the
Giants the New York fans ought to
give him a royal welcome just to
show that they haven't lost confidence
In him, for he's good ball player
and is sensitive like all of US. FIFE
doesn't deserve censure, but encour-
ageraent.
Here's a funny one. Horace Foo
gel wants to be one of my scouts.
don't believe Horace is serious, and
I understand that he is busy with
other matters. He was a queer ge-
MUS, sure enough. l intend to 60
through with my plan to have secret
scouts all over the country In the
various minor leagues. and / hope
that during the coming season we will
be tipped off as to the best young
sters in the game. We need them in
our business. Ali / hope is that we
have fair break In the luck and that
when we come back from Bermuda
we will be in fine shape. l shall be
delighted to run Ut against my old
friends the BrootlyRs and Nap Ruck-
err. at Ehhets Field ON April 9Th. for
/ it will seem like old times. Rucker
is a great pitcher. and Il Will be quite
an achievement If we beat him.
Chance had a little to say about his
two iieutenants in Chicago--Johnny
Evers and Joe Tinker. From his re-
marks he seems to think that John
NY will have the best team, while Joe
/ probably will have the best of ii as a
/ manager.
II think Johnny will be a good man
ager--he should he. as he Is one oil
the smartest players that ever lived
! Johnny will be ali right If he does
/. not go up in the air. By that ! near
that his nerves may bother him again
as they did once before, He will find

severe. But he has a good team. and
