HUDSON SUPER| IN
 RIGID TRY OUT.

:. M. Starr. sales manager for Cal Messner, dealer in Hudson and Colum- bla cars, has put a Hudson super-six through course of sprouts on Wash iEgton's birthday. which he thinks will make lasting impression on the 20 persons who observed the test.
 Accompanying Mr Starr were MT. and Mrs. Will C. Dorman, and daugh- ter. The place selected for the test was in the vicinity of the rifle club. known as Hanging Rock. The place is quite well known as a picnic ground. The grade is very steep and quite rough and is covered with loose stones. Ac- cording to MT. Starr it was the general impression that the grade would not be negotiated by a gasoline car. Not withstanding this unfavorable belief, MT. Starr pointed the nose of the Hud- son toward the summit and got away with it satisfactorily. Several times the car was stopped for the purpose of testing the brakes. Upon reaching the top the car was turned around on the narrow ledge and came down right side up with care. The test was completed with perfect ease, according to Mir. Starr,

 ID AUTO EXHIBIT

G. H. Reubens and w. E. J. Holmes of the Kissel Auto company, are spending the week in San Francisco at the Automobile show. Mir. Holmes is guest of the company as the result of contest inaugurated some weeks. ago. We should like to have sent all of the salesmen to the show but that was obviously impossible as someone must remain and attend to business" said Joseph McAleer, ''so we offered a trip to any of our men who could sell a certain number of Kissels in a given time. It is un- necessary to state that this number was placed high enough so that some of the boys couldn't make good, and we would have someone here on the floor which makes Holmes feat all the more noticeable. We expect both Reubens and Holmes back very soon full of new ideas and enthusi- asm as the shows are always edu- cational and develope a wide knowl- edge of the business as well as trade conditions over the country"

Batting, Fielding and Base Running Is Basis
 These Assets Imperative to Champ Aspirants

White Sox, American League leaders and world champions, were first in stolen bases but second in team batting and fielding. Toronto, International League champions, headed the list in batting and fielding but fell to second place in base stealing. In the American Association, the Indianapolis Club was first in fielding but seventh in batting and fifth in stolen bases.
 Taken as a whole tlte averages are very high. The grand average ofSthe sixteen pennant winning clubs is 633 Thirteen clubs show an average of .263 in batting ard eleven have a mark of .960 in fielding. The average number of stolen bases by twelve of the sixteen pennant clubs is 196 1-3 for the season.
 The following tabulations show the league records of the teams in these departments of play for the season of 1917.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The profi ciency necessary in many departments of baseball in order to win pennants is illustrated by comparisons of the rec ords of sixteen clubs, each flag win ner in it's respective league last sea son. With an occasional exception it will be found that the team which fin ished first in the league race held a high position in batting, fielding and baserunning. There is no record of any one combination holding the lead ing place in all three of these depart ments of the play but a number of the clubs showed the way in two of the three divisions.
 Among the more important leagues the New York Giants, winners of the National League pennant, were first in team fielding and base stealing but fin ished second in batting. The Chicago

WHEN MIR. LINCOLN
 ORDERED DIXIE

(Rochester Dem. and Chronicle)
 Bv order of the Pittsburg director of public safety. every German number must be eliminated from the programs of the concerts of the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra when it fills its annual engagement in that city. The only regular symphony concerts given in Pittsburg during the season are those given by the Philadelphia orches- tra. The order means, therefore, that the works of all the great German composers from Bach to Wagner will be under sthe ban in Pittsburg during the period of the war. The news re- calls an anecdote of Lincoln that has recently been going the rounds and that according to one authority, runs as follows:
 "Dr. William Critchley of Florida was director of a military band to- ward the close of the civil war, and in serenading President Lincoln who had come down from Washington to City Point, Va, on one of his frequent visits to General Grants headquarters, the bandmaster had exhausted his re- pertoire. and was about to take his departure when Mir. Lincoln stepped forward. placed his hand upon his shoulder, and said: MT. Leader. will you please play Dixie? MT. Presi- dent, protested the bandmaster, that is a confederate tune.' Yes replied the president. quickly and smilingly but we've captured it.
 Possibly patriotic citizens who love music will find a suggestion here ap- plicable to our own times, with rela- tion to the proper attitude to assume towards musical compositions that originated among a people with whom we are at war, but which occupy a place in music similar to that which Shakespeares works occupy in litera- ture.

DRAFT CELEBRATED
IN MASSACHUSETTS
Bands Play, Flags Fly and
Men Rush to Enroll.

BOSTON. Sept. 12.-There was a min
imum OF delay. confusion or misunder-
standing in the registration Of more
than $4,000 citizens OF Massachusetts,
TOT military service to-day. Bands were
playing. hags were flying everywhere
and the state was virtually Bone Dry
as the thousands went to the various
registration booths. Reports tonight
from all parts OF the State showed
that the enrolment was accomplished
with unexpected expedition.
The registration proceeded In a fric-
nonees manner" said Major Roger
Wo,cott. in charge Of the draft. Wiz
tuaily every man coming within the
scope OF the Presidents proclama ton
offered himself for duty"
GOV Mccall said: Massachusetts
is UNFOLDING her best traditions and has
added new lustre to her fame as a fore
most State in the Union in helping the
national Government in its hour Of
need"
At many OF the registration stations,
particularly In this city. where II was
estimated 100000 enrolled, there was n
rush OF men to be the first to register.
Enthusiasm among the aliens within
the draft ages was evident In the north
ana west ends OF this city. where the
foreign population predominates School
children in many cases acted as inter-
prefers. Few OF the aliens, draft on
cfais said, asked questions regarding
exemption, many expressing the hope
that they would be called to the colors.
Liquor dealers generally observed the
request of the Governor to suspend
business during the hours of registra-
ton. Saloons were closed and the ho-
tells and restaurants refrained from sell
ing liquor.

itively essential to the war programme
nor to the maintenance OF national in
terest during the emergency. In those
industries are. or win be, millions Of
registrants deferred on grounds Of de-
tendency and many others In Glass !
without deferment. At this point the
work or fight" order comes into play,
but to only n very few classes OF occu-
pations-ive in all expressly enumer-
ated in that order-and to a relatively
small number of individuals.
Among this extensive and unlisted
group of 'non-priority industries 1t finds
a very few which 1t designates as nom
productive meaning in general those
occupations in which the man power
within draft age could better during the
emergency be replaced by woman's work
or by older men or boys. The policy
involved Is that those men OF draft age
would serve the country best by getting
out of those occupations. either into the
military forces or into some other oc-
cupation.
Now this other occupation may be in
q priority industry or in q non1priority
industry. The work or tight order does
not prescribe any occupation for them to
get into. There are plenty Of non
priority industries to get into. though
naturally they would do we'll to seek out
a priority industry IL one Is available.
But the work or night order does not
attempt to dictate on that point; II
merely gives them the option OF getting
out of the 'non-productive' occupation or
Of losing the benefit OF their deferred
classification or their high order number.
The two groups-non-priority and
non,productive-there not only are
directed TO different purposes. but they
are not Identical and presumably never
gill become Identical Certainly The
public is entitled to understand that no
additions will be made TO the 'non-pro-
ductive' list without ample and explicit
notice"
