Injuries Have Great
Influence on American
League Teams During
the Season of 1918

That injuries to some of the
stars cut decided figure In the
last American league race Is gen.
orally conceded. The injury to
Gandil and the Hines sof Foster
handicapped the Nationals. Cleve-
land had lot of bad breaks In
this respect and Boston was virtu-
ally put out of the running by rea-
son of Joe Woods inability to
work regularly. Connie Mack's
team was the most fortunate. 1t
lost the services Of Jack Coombs,
to be sure. but the wonderful team
was intact in every other respect
and Coombs' absence was not
nearly as harmful as IL Baker or
Collins had been out Of the game
for any length of time.

Fred X. Parke. vice-president and

as to require that all motor vehicles

Preparations for the Fourteenth
Annual National Automobile show,
which is to be held in the Grand Cen.

week OF Jan. $40, under the auspices
OF the Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce, have progressed steadily and
are going on at present on a large
scale, which indicates strongly that
Manager S. A. Miles is endeavoring
to make the forthcoming show the
greatest In the history in motordom.
Even with an increase OF floor space
OF more than $4,000 square feet over
that OF last year. every inch of ex-
hibition space will be utilized.
Spaces already have been allotted
to the members of the Automobile
Chamber OF Commerce and TO the mo.
tor and accessory manufacturers. and
while the exhibits of the members OF
these two organizations will take up
the bulk OF floor space. l25 concerns
who are not members of either OF the
organizations have applied for and
secured space at the show. Among

the list of exhibitors will be a record
breaker.

Maxfield's reach is far greater than
that of Bob FitZsimmons, the great
heavyweight fighter, who was early
dubbed "Lanky Bob" because OF the
great length OF his limbs.

result of this the hair from Szechwan
brought prices somewhat below the
average.
Some of the merchants also suffer
en- in another way. They kept large
quantities of the hair, waiting for a
rise, but prices fell toward the end of
the year as the demand at home
diminished, and at the beginning of
1913 they had on hand a considerable
amount of unsold stock. While there
is general impression that most
Chinese have discarded the cue, this
is far from being the case. Although
soldiers are posted at different city
gates for the purpose of removing the
cues of all prisoners who pass through,
the country people for the most part
still retain the cue, and the supply of
human hair will doubtless be sufficient
for many years to come.

where he was followed by the young
girl; that he did not invite her into
the wareroom; he rolled the freight to
the platform and loaded it on the
wagon; that few friendly words were
exchanged between the two while he
was on the platform; that he did not
speak to the girl while in the ware
room; and knew nothing of any alleg-
ed assault by him until he heard suit
for damages had been brought. Tress
denied having Rugged or kissed the

occurred at the time mentioned other
than what he had stated on the stand.
T. T. Dean testified he was present
when Tress rolled the freight out;
saw him load it on the wagon; did
not hear any noise or confusion in the

hear any conversation between Tress

the platform; nothing unusual was
noticed in the appearance or conduct
