Twelve years ago the owner. OF an
automobile was the butt of the jester"
remarked X. p. Drysdale, OF the Cadil-
lac Motor Car Company. To-day he is
the envy OF his friends and neishbors
Twelve years ago the motorist who
could take a drive of few miles with
out getting stuck was the exception
Today the tour of a thousand miles or
more with nothing to do but start,
steer. and stop Is the recreation OF
thousands. Twelve years ago the motor
vehicle as q commercial utility was un-
known. Today there are thousands or
them. Twelve years hence viii see its
use practically universal
Vast Increase In Investment.
Twelve years ago the investment in
the production of motor cars amounted
to few hundred thousand dollars.
Today the Investments run into the
hundreds OF millions. Twelve years
ago there were only a few thousand
persons employed in the industry. To-
day 1t gives employment to hundreds
of thousands and furnishes a livelihood
for more than a million.

MANAGER MeGRAW GETTING
 READY TO REBUILD GIANTS
New Works Last Year Pitching Staff
 Big Failure.

At the annual meeting the Ma tional league magnates and managers in New York early next month Man anager McGraw of the Giants will en- deavor to put through several import ant deals which are now hanging fire. The Little Napoleon, who experienced the worst season of his managerial ent outfit is nothing more than a tail end aggregation and to win the pen nant next year, or finish near the top, the deawood of his team must be set adrift and new and young blood in stalled.
 Manager McGraw will find the re- building of his once chompionship team a problem that will take more tha nope day to decide. In the first model his pitching stan, and after he finishes this difficult job he will have to get a capable third baseman to take Lobert's place. Then he will have to find a man to i'll the shoes of Fred Snodgrass.
 One of the biggest disappoint- meIts of the Giants last season was the complete collapse of the pitching stan. The Giants started out with Matty, Tesreau, Marquard. Fromme. Stroud, Schupp and Schaued. This staff looked as good as any other in the National league before the sea- son began. But it did not take Mo Graw long to find out that his pitch ing staff was about the worst in the league.
 Marquard after niching his name in the Hal 4of Fame in the second game of the season by shutting out the Brooklyn club without hit or run, faded away and his work went from bad to worse. Matty's arm gave

PLANNING A PUGILISTlc
 CARNIVAL FOR BUENoS AIRES
Bouts as Outlined Will Bring Together Jess Willard and the Best Heavy weight That Can Be Secured.

New York, Dec. 2.-Millionaire South American sportsmen are planning for pugilistic carnival to be held at Buenos AAires next spring, in which the four fistic championships of the world will be contested. Within the next two weeks the sum of $125, 900 will be deposited in a local bank to be divided later into four purses and the additional sum of 5,000 to cover training, travelling and advertising ex- penses of pugilists and promoters.
 The bouts as outlined at present will bring together Jess Willard and the best heavyweight that can be secured to meet the champion: Mike Gibbons of St. Paul and Les Darcy, of Aus tralia; Freddy Welsh, of England and Charley White, of. Chicago; Kid Will Hams of Baltimore and Johnny Ertle of St. Paul. Each bout, which will be for the championship in that class, will be for 25 rounds or more.
 Baron Nicholas Mihanovich is the representative of the South American capitalists and sportsmen who believe that the pugilistic carnival will be of great advertising value to Buenos Aires and South America in general Tom Jones and Jack Curley have been appointed as the American represen- tatives and matchmakers for the back CTS of the carnival.

HUGHIE JENNINGS IS
 SATISFIED WITH DETROIT
Would Not Accept Management of New York Federal League Club.

New York, Dec. 2.-Hughie Jennings, manager of the Detroit Americans, who has returned from the south, where he was searching for a training camp, declared today he had not been offered the management of the New York Federal league team.
 T would not consider it if they did" he said. T am satisfied with my lot in Detroit, where we have built up a great team and I have no intention of leaving Detroit"
 President Frank Navin of the De- troit club who also is in this city, likewise denied there was a chance of Jennings leaving Detroit. Tt is true that Jennings is not signed to a con- tract but we have been working under gentleman's agreement which is mutually satisfactory on both sides.S Navin said.
 Secretary Huston and Manager William Donovan of the New York Americans returned from Wilmington, Del, where they made a futile effort to sign J. Franklin Baker, of the Athletics, to a New York contract Donovan said that he had procured permission from Manager Mack of the Athletics to talk busienss with Baker and that the latter held out for an un- reasonable salary. It was intimated at the local Federal league offices that the New York Federals had made Baker an offer.
