Packard Co. Buys
Aviation Field

A large tract of land on Lake st.
Clair, near Mount Clemens, Mich, has
been acquired by the Packard Motor
Car Company, as an aviation field and
landing place for aeroplane tourists.
This announcement has been made. by
]. G. Vincent, vice-president of Engt.
neering.
Aeroplanes will be received within
a month and experiments will COM
mence Immediately thereafter, it is un-
derstood. AS was said recently by
President Henry B. Joy, the Packard
company has become strongly inter
ested in aviation affairs, and tests with
the view of proving the value of the
twelye-clyinder motor for aeroplane
use, have been in progress for six
months.
In anticipation of the greater use Of
the aeroplane for touring purposes,
the field will be available for the com
fort and convenience Of aero tourists,
and probably will be equipped with
hangers, repair shops and supply sta.
lions, 1t is understood.
Experimental aeroplanes will be fit
ted up with motors designed by the
Packard engineering department and
constructed ut the Packard factory,
The company does not contemplate
the manufacture of complete aero.
planes, for the time being, at least,
but will concentrate upon perfecttng
motors for aero use.

4 The fact, that major league base
ball club has failed in city that
stands foremost in the development
OF amateur baseball, is a matter that
must be taken into consideration In
figuring on the prosperity OF the pro-

In Cleveland the bankers handling
the affairs OF Charley Somers have
ordered that his American league and
American association clubs be sold.
In the same city fans point with
pride to two national amateur cham

During the past two years when on

Fairgrounds a few miles away at

900 to $4,000.
On Saturday and Sundays when
there have baen more empty seats
than filed ones at the fine, big league
park, fans have crowded together
like sardines in box on the htllsides
of natural amphitheater in another
part of the city and yelled themselves
hoarse as kid teams battled.
Cleveland is not the only city in
which fans have taken strongly to

going through the season OF 1896
with Baltimore, without striking out,
was as good as ever many years af'
terward.
Radbourne's feat was one of physi'
cal endurance. Only man of I'M
usual strength could pitch 70 games
In a season-37 of them in success
sion. Keeler's feat was one of keen
judgment. Ability to pick out good
balls and crack them made it posi-
BILE for him to go to the plate 700
times without tanning, performance
never equaled by even such great
batters as Dan Brouthers, Pop An
son, Hans Wagner, Larry Lajoie or
Ty Cobb.
When Radbourne took on the prop
osition Of pitching every game his
team played from the middle of the
season on, no said:
"Ill pitch every game and win
the pennant or pitch my arm on" He
Keller could Judge a pitched ball
to fraction of an inch. He is said
to be the only player who ever UNI
pired his own games. When ne le.

it was not over the plate and called
It "ball."
Keeler and Jesse Burkett were the
games greatest place hitters. Keel

er used short thick bat and gripped
SO far UP on the handle only half OF
the bat extended beyond his hands.
He poked the ball just over the heads
Of inhelders. When outfielders
moved in to stop his short drives
he swung at the ball and sent it over
the outtlelders' heads.
Besides going through the 1886 sea-
son without tanning, Keller set rec.
ord for the number Of hits made by
q National league player. He cracked
243 safties. His average for the sea
son was 1892. He batted over 800 ID
consecutive seasons 1884 to 1906 in
elusive. He beat his mark of 1892
twice, batting 1874 in 1895 and ,432 IN
1897.
Radbourne, after his herculean feat;
went back to the diamond the follow
ing year, but found he had pitched his
arm away. He was as strong OF
Heart as ever, but his curves lacked
snap and the old zip was missing from
his fast ball.
"old Hoss" refused to allow the
Providence club to carry him as sort
of pensioner. If he couldn't pitch, he
wouldn't wear uniform. He quit,
There ended the career of the man
who managers say performed the

HUNTINGTON, Jan. 10.-A foot

closing of this date assures Hunting

ready Marietta is scheduled for No

giving Day. Director Chambers said
night that this would be the most ex-
pensive Turkey Day game ever scned-
uled for the city, but he felt that the
fine patronage on this day for the past
six years deserves good attraction.
The little giants Of Wabash, champ
ions of Indiana in 1916, will make a
fine contest for the big green.
The talk about the big Normal In
dicates that there will be a game with
Morris Harvey next fall which will
likely come November II or 70. II

but It is understood that negotiations
are on for renewable OF gridtTons nos
tilities between the ancient foes. In
addition to these games Kentucky
Wesleyan and Glenyille may appear
on the home lot early in the fall.
/ A little trouble scheduling out-ot'
town games is being experienced ow.
ing to the retrenchment policy OF the
big green management. For the past
few years the locals have been able
to command big guarantees from the
large schools. but, since the decision
to cut out, the heaviest games, the
management Is finding that the small
er schools cannot offer guarantees
sufficient to cover expenses. One game
away has been closed with Wesleyan,
while the game with Muskingum at
Parkersburg is practically certain.
Negotiations are still pending with
Ohio University and two of the Ken
lucky colleges for the other out-ot-
town dates.

PERCY H0UGRTON
BUYS BALL TEAM
Famous Football Expert To
Pilot the Braves in the
Future.

One OF the biggest surprises that
has been pulled in the baseball world
for many moons came of on satur-
day. when the Boston Braves were
sold. Percy D. Haughton, the famous
football coach at Harvard is now pres
ident and part owner of the Boston
National league club, having made
the purchase Saturday from James F.
Gaffney, the former owner OF the
Organization. Haughton stated taht
George T. Stallings, baseball's miracle
man, will be retained as the manager
OF the club and will have full sway
in the playing department. 1t Is ru-
mored that the price paid for the
Boston club was 100000. Mr.. Can
ney purchased the club few years
ago for the sum OF s1S7,000. Until
the Braves cut loose in the 1914 sea-
son, the club was not making money,
but they cleaned up with vengence
during the last two seasons.
The deal was consummated with
much speed. Mr.. Gaffney stated that
he had no intention of selling the
4 club until a few days before the deal
was made, and that the club had not
been on the market. But when Can
ney saw an opportunity to make
good profit he was unable to turn the
deal down.
Haughton is not well known in the
i baseball world, having made his fame
and fortune on the football grtdtron'
although he was connected with base
ball during his college days and was
captain of the Harvard team In 1892
None, however, can doubt his ability
as an executive officer and he viii
likely make good in his latest ven
ture. He has made no definite state
ment as to whether or not he Will
look after. the welfare Of the Harvard
grid teams in the future. !. will be
"a sad blow to the Crimson If he
passes up the football game Tor good:
Associated with Haughton as head
q OF a syndicate OF Boston men who
have taken over the club is Arthur
wise, member of Boston banking
concern. Walter e. Hapgood will
continue in the Office Of business man
ager.
