He has never played the sun
field. That is all that worries
RObby in selecting the. youngster.
In bis old league they played twi-
light ball and had no sun field
But maybe be can learn.
Rowdy Elliot, catcher, from the
coast, has a lot of pepper. He'll
be first string catcher most likely.
Kruger probably will be second
man and Otto Miller viii put in
most of his time helping out the
pitchers.
There IS feeling of optimism
around the Dodgers camp.
Looks ike We are going TO have
some pitching and that is all the
Dodgers need said Ivan Olson.
Team is 80 per cent better this
spring" said Otto Miller.
And Robby, too, admits pros
poets are much roster.

 Speaking of d national forestry poll icy, Afr. Greeley said the program laid down by Colonel Graves had been fur ther developed.
 This program" he said, 'is based on the conviction that the problem Of halting forests devastation is funda- mentally national, not a local, prob lem, and must be faced and handled as such. At the same time 1t is felt that tho speediest, surest, and most equit- able action can be secured through de- .pendence on the police powers of the states for the enforcement of such req sonable requirements as should be made of private owners and on the state governments for providing organ ized protection of private lands against fire.
 Because the problem itself is essen italy national-that is, one affecting the public welfare of the entire country and requiring to be attacked as a whole, not piecemeal-both federal leadership an da large measure of fed eral aid are obligatory. It should be obligatory upon private owners to ap- ply the safeguards necessary to pre- vent devastation.

 Shipments in 1919 totalIed s7.o72. .s54 barrels and there is reason to believe that this years shipments will amount to moro than 125.000,000 barrels.

Gardner Establishes Record On Recent
 Reliability Tests

Two of the tests which established notable reliability and economy of the Gardner Light Four were reported in a letter received by the Ferguson -Keeler company fro nthe Shields ?Livengood Motor company, distributors for Wash ington, with offices at Seattle, Spo- kane, and Yakima. The first was based upon the experiences related by an army captain. whose drive from the East to Seattle, through Chicago, cov- cred 4,300 miles. In the car were three passengers and luggage that weighed more than a fourth one would. During the entire trip, the army man related. neither the spark plugs nor the car buretor were touched, either for clean ing or adjusting, yet veseral qualities Of gasoline were used, the average run per gallon being Is miles. The car, it was said made the hills, some of them mere by paths of little more than rocks and mud, with grades beyond 25 per cent, without the least trouble.
 Only during the toughest driving were chains used on the rear tires, and he reports having gotten over tho roads where heavier cars were hopelessly stuck. An almost consistent record claimed by the Gardner car driver was that of being the last of several cars to get away from the days starting point and the first to reach the des- tination in the evening. Not 8 sem- blance of motor trouble developed dur ing the trip.
 The other test reported by the Wash ington distributor was made by the company, the car being driven by A. R. Moseley, an officer of the corporation. It covered 1,S44 miles. extending into the worst territory in the state for au- tomobiles and encountering several sand storms Some of the roads, as shown in photographs sent with the report, are much like heavily furrowed fields. The average consumption of gasoline was 231s miles per gallon The driver wrote the Gardner company that he had never driven anything in four cylinder light car class that met every motoring condition more favorably.'
