AUTO show GREAT SUCCESS;
CITY THRONGED WITH VISITORS

Fitzgerald's First Auto Show
opened Thursday morning under
the best OF conditions. The wea-
Their was ideal and the recent rains
had made the travel on the High
ways most pleasant. Hundreds
of cars arrived from the surround
ing country early during the day
and when 10 80 arrived, scores Of
decorated cars lined up on Cen
tral Avenue to take part in the
celebration OF the official opening
OF the city's great Auto event.
The Planters Warehouse, so gen
erously donated TO the promoters
OF the show by its owners, was a
busy place all morning, exhibitors
making ready and visitors
thronging the spacious exhibition
hail.
The chassis Of Cadillac 8, ex-
hibited in all the large Auto
Shows in the state, attracted the
larger crowd all day, being
stock chassis with sections of
crank-case, cylinders, transmits
sion case and housing cut away
to plainly show every working
part of the machine as it is slow
ly propelled by a tiny motor
which also furnishes current for
numerous incandescents which
thoroughly illuminate every part
of the machine.
The Show is decided success
and the many exhibitors have en-
pressed their satisfaction at the
splendid management Of the affair
by the local committee. A matter
of special comment by the exhi-
bitors is the liberaGty of the pro-
motors in giving free space to all
exhibitors and free admission to
the show to all corners, most cit
les charging both for space and
admission to the public at such
events. The following are the
cars exhibited:

BANKERS STUDY
CARS AT GOTHAM
Saxon President Says Financial
Men Now Regard Automobile
Business as One Of Nations
Soundest Industries.
MONEY IN ALL TRANSPORTATION

writing from the New York Automo-
bile show TO the Saxon dealers through
out the country, II. w. Ford, president
OF the Saxon Motor Car company. makes
many keen observations about the prog
ress Of the automobile industry. Among
other interesting comments he says:
''The thing that impresses me most
about this 1916 automobile show Is the
substantial interest which is being taken
by the biggest and most influential bank
ing interests in the show and In the prog
ress of the industry mere illustrated.
There was n time-not so very long ago
when the automobile show, although II
attracted big crowds. although II brought
out society folks in large numbers, al
though It drew to New York hundrS6s of
dealers. did not create a ripple IN the
banking and financial world. In fact, the
bankers looked askance at the automobile
as a fad and an extravaganza.
within the last year, however, and
particularly in the last svx months, there
has been a change OF attitude, which IL
very readily observed at the show itself.
Good Investment.
The big banking interests have always
been interested in transportation. From
the early days In our country they have
backed various agents Of transportation,
first the sailing vessels. then the steam
ships. then the railroads and then the
electric trolley lines In fact, abe founda-
tions OF many of Americas biggest for
tunes we're laid through wise investments
In transportation companies.
transportation securities have always
been prominent on the stock exchange.
The securities OF the strong. substantial
transportation companies have almost
without exception been for years consid-
cred good Sound Investments for family
estates and trust funds.
Now the bankers and financial people
have learned that the automobile is really
the highest form OF transportation. II
has been the one big advance in indi.
vidual locomotion in centuries. Regarded
at first as a rich mans toy. then as q
middie-class luxury, it has finally becom,
recognised as an absolute necessity In oul
modern business life. And as the eco
nomio Importance Of the automobile hal
increased the attitude OF the financla
world toward automobile companies hai
greatly changed.
In the early days automobile com

high authorities as a reason why the tax

The automobile is an integral part Of the
machinery OF modern business. To ham
per its national usage would mean stag

the very purpose OF the tax. The pro-

DIRECTORS CHOSEN
 FOR BOSTON BRAVES
Most Impressive Board, Both Ffnan- cially and Socially, Is Chosen-For-

Boston, Feb. 3.-The transfer of the Boston National baseball club to a syndicate headed by Percy D. Haughton, the former Harvard foot ball coach, was still further perfect ed yesterday by the election of new board of directors.
 The new board includes former Governor David l. Walsh, who is also made vice president; former Lieu tenant Governor Louis A. FrOthing- nam; A. Paul Keith, president of the Boston Athletic association; Colonel Edward E. Logan of the Ninth Regi- ment of state militia; Charles Pfaff, a retired bigadier general of the militia; William F. GarcelOn, and Manager George P. Stallings
 Walter E. Hapgood who served as secretary under President Gaffney was reelected. Haughton and A. c. Wise were made president and treas urer respectively at the time of the transfer of the club last month.
 This board is one of the most im- pressive, both socially and financially in baseball It is truly representative of the best element of Boston. Gar celon is the former graduate manager of athletics at Harvard and is now head of the athletic system at Bates college. 1t is understood that all the directors are vitally interested finan- cially in the syndicate which owns the r1ly

Two Feds.

If Claude Hendrix and Tom Seaton pitch the same variety of ball for Joe Tinker they once pitched for Pitts burgh and Philadelphia, respectively, Joseph has two stars on hand.
 But the case of Seaton and Hen- drix stands as one of the double mysteries of the game. As a rule most major league ball players who drifted to the Feds did better work in the new organization, where com retiton was not so keen as in the old.
 Hendrix and Seaton reversed this condition. Seaton was on a par with Alexander while working for the Thils. Hendrix, with Pittsburg, was enc of the stars of the league.
 But last season, with the Chicago Feds, a flag winning organization, Hendrix was far down the list with I6 victories, 5 defeats and a yield of earned runs above 3 to the game.
 Seaton was even worse. With the Brooklyn-NeWark combination he won IA, lost IT and allowed nearly earned tallies to the contest.
 These two should have been the
