Chinese Like Automobiles.

American automobiles are rapid
ly growing popular in China. Their
use Is limited not by the desire of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack of roads outside OF
a few city districts. Many of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors,
and in Shanghai it is said to be diff
cult to maintain taxicab business be-
cause the natives charter all the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew
eral motor driven bus lines. Chinese
chauffeurs are said to be the coolest
and steadiest drivers in the world, but
poor mechanics.

he lost them he lost more than Alex
ander's ability to win more than thirty

to catch more games than any other

lost the winning confidence Of the

Figures do not lie and they show
that Alexander wins three games out

know that they have only one chance

breeds
So aside from losing a pitcher who
would add in the neighborhood Of
