tor. The individual transportation by
the automobile has been one of the
greatest factors in the development OF
our country, and with the probable
output this year OF 100000 cars. If
the production was cut 30 per cent

in operation to-day, would. with the

The railroads and interur5an lines
entering cities located near Tho camps

Lajoie said he had received one or
two offeres the nature of which he
was not at liberty to divulge. He de-
MED he had heard anything from Har.
ry Frazee, either relative to manag.
ing the Red Sox or playing first base
there
With dozens of younger baseball
players in govrnment service and the
possibility OF many more being called
by the draft before the season opens,
there is no doubt that Lajoie's services
will be needed.
And il his record at Montreal is any
indication Larry hasn't slipped as
much as was generally supposed
He won the International pennant
with the third best team in the league
and incidentally led the league batting
which was might good considering the
kind Of pitching he was forced to face
throughout the season. In addition he
developed Hearne. one OF the really
great major league pitchers of year.
And to look at Larry it is hard to
believe he is through or anyways near

moves around his farm with the same
cat.like grace which always character.

What is Larry Lajoie going to slip
his brawny hands around next spring,
the pillow handle or the baseball bat?
It's going to be one or the other
and il it's a baseball bat it will be in
a major league and will be under
terms which are satisfactory to Nap
oleon Jajoie.
At least that's Lajoie ultimatum.
Il have been in baseball too many
years to be unreasonable" Larry told
the writer. But baseball. so far as the
minor leagues are concerned under
present conditions doesn't appeal to
me strongly and my record of last
year at Montreal should put me in a
position where I can ask for a pretty
good contract. II don't get what
want-well, guess the old farms

SOCIALISTS Do NOT
SUPPORT RED CROSS
Warrington Memberships
Drive, However, Was
Splendid Success.
(E. E. Meredith Press Bureau.)

MANNINGToN, w. Va, Dec. &c.
The membership drive of the local
chapter of the Red Cross netted 700
members, which is a remarkable
showing when it is taken into consid-
Grafton that this community is not so
greatly interested in war work as 9TH
e. points and that there are condi.
lions to meet here which are hardly
found any place in the state. For in
stance there is Socialist community
near Warrington, and the men not
only refused to join the Red Cross
when approached by the ladies, but
were nasty" about it in several in
stances reported by the ladies at
headquarters.
Those Red Cross workers who
heard Congressman Nicely at the
Presbyterian church the night before
the drive started were enthusiastic in
their work, and the unanimous ex-
preston is that those Warrington
people who missed his address have
reason to be sorry. The crowd was
quite slim and that has caused wide
regret here. There were so many
people missing in the audience who
attend such affairs elsewhere.
