ONE SHIPMENT
Special Train of 1920 Model
Motor Cars Bound
..n, to Boston seq,

Considerable interest was shown in
Newport Saturda~ night in a long
train load 81 Buick cars, en- route to
I the Boston distributing center from
! Flint, Michigan. The autos, ~ in
all, were loaded on fat cars and were
| protected from the weather bv heavy
talpaulins over inner coverings of
lighter, softer, cloth. While most au-
tomobiles are loaded on box cars,
which are specially designed with
large doors, these were on open, or
binary, fiat cars. The fiat cars are
the property of the Buick Motor Car
Co. The automobiles were the last
large consignment of the 1920 model
and were loaded four to q car There
we've roadster and touring car on
the bottom, then one roadster mount
ed on steel deck above the first two
cars, and touring car with one ir
OF wheels in blocks on the surface of
the car and the other pair high in air
and supported by the steel decks. The
cars afe loaded by special crane at
the factory, by which fiat cars are
loaded with considerable more speed
than the box cars.
The route OF the consignment took
it from Flint to Saginaw, Michigan,
then down to Chatham, where it
crossed into Canada. From there the
trip was over the main line Of the
Canadian Pacific through Toronto
and Montreal, to Newport, and
from here to Boston via White River
Junction. The train arrived here at
about 6 p. m. Saturday, and left later
in the night over the Boston and
Maine tracks. All 70 cars, whose
value is we'll over 100000 were in
the custody of Robert Mccormick, a
young man employed in the Buick
factory at Flint.
Mccormick had been on the road |
with the cars just week when he |
at Newport, and ne felt very
glad to get back into the states, and
thought that Newport was good
clean looking town. He said that he
found the first few days of his trip |
pleasant because of the novelty, and
the part of the journev between To-
ronto and Montreal pleasant because
OF the wonderful scenery. In three
or four days, after turning over his
charge to the Boston distributing
agents, he expects to return to Flint,
and there will take up again the work
in the factory.
In describing the new model which
the factory is switching to at pres
ent, he said that there were several
new features in both the body and
the engine. In the engine, the noisy
of the 1920 model is re-
placed by a gear made of some kind
Of fibre reducing the noise to mini
mum. In the bodv the most noticeable n
change in years is the remo1elling of 4
the hood so that it rises from radia-
To-. to the cowl in a straight line in
stead of cuivng sharply at the .cowl
as before. The dash is modelled diff
Lerently so as to be several inches
back of the cowl and it is curved
across the top. Handles on the doors
ire on the outside and the shape Of
he top is modified somewhat. The
'esult, he said, is much more beau
iful and much stronger body, with

motor taken. out and its good fea-
ures maintained.

KANSAS CITY UNIVERSITY MAN

WINS TEMPTATION
 Philadelphia. April 30.-A new worlds record, the defeat of England's best collegiate distance runner, three teams, including Oxford Cambridge, left at the post in the star race an dthe winning of the Pentathlon by Bradley, of the Unh sity of Kansas, were the outsand- ing leatures of the opening day of the University of Pennsylvania relay carni- val here today: The presence of the English universities track team gave an international aspect to the games and but for a heavy rain and the unfortunate fas-5 which ruined the distance medley championship race, the initial day of the meet would have gone down in th-. 1etic history as one of the most success ful in the long carnival record.
 The fastest field of varsity distance runners that the country could boast, faced the starter in the three mile in-s ternational intercollegiate race arranged for the special benefit of E. A. <Mon- tague, of Oxford University, winner of this event in the Oxford-Cambridge dual meet in London on March 27, when he did, 14.45 3-5. Today he was easily defeated by B. q. Nightingale, of New Hampshire State College, by more thah forty yards in 14.56. Montague who ran second in 15 minutes, 2 2-5 seconds finished some thirty years ahead of w: K. MacMahon, Massachusetts Tech, after gruelling race.
 B. G. D. Rudd. the Rhodes scholar from South Africa, who gave such q sensational all round athletic perform ance for Oxford in the recent dual games between the British universities 1 in London, did not appear for the 40 1 yards low hurdles in which it was ex- pected he would prove worthy oppon- lent for the American collegians. That he would have to travel at a terrific pace to win. was proved when J. M. Watt of Cornell won almost as he willed in new worlds record time of 54 Is seconds, displacing the former time of 54 S-5 made by Harry Hillman of the New York A. C.. in 1904. Coughlin, of the University of the South. was second I and H Gish, Nebraska, third, finishing in the rear of the flying hurdler from
 the shore of Cayuga Lake. The victory of Bradley in the Pentath- lon came as a surprise to eastern fol I lowers of athletics his iictory over Bar tels being one of the sensational upseti of the day.

The K. of c. athletic association and the baseball management are being com plifnented on all sides for their attitude taken in organizing a first class ball team to represent Norwich. Some pub lie spirited business men, who wish to see Norwich kept on the baseball map have offered to contribute toward helping the matter along but the management is not asking for any public contribu- tlons. as they have funds enough at least to<get things started. All they ask is the public to show their appreciation by attending the games. It is expected that on account of the work which will be done to get the grounds in first class condition that the opening games win not be played at home until perhahs May 22nd and 2srd.
 The club win open the season by playing away from home at Bradford, R. l.. on Sunday, May 16th. The Bard ford team has recently been organized and have splendid enclosed grounds, and are backed by the. Bradford Dyeing and Bleaching Association. Their team com prises some college and exprofessional players who have been given work in Bradford in order to play with the team. Calude Burdick, who is well known to Norwich fans will pitch the npening gome for Bradford.
 This will give the K. of c. manager a 'charice to size up his players against good pitching. The Bradford team will play at Norwich on Sunday, May sSoth.
 The opening games at home will probably be with the New London K. of, C., and the New London Independ- . ents. These teams need no Introduction 10 Norwich fans as they have always played a good article of ball. The man. agement has not yet selected their play CTS. and will give every baseball player in Norwich and vicinity. irrespective of race of creed fair and impartial chance to make the team. Norwich players who have baseball ability are invited to- the fair grounds on Sunday, May 2nd, at 2.30 D. m. for a try out and for practice.
 The management is corresponding with several fast teams for dates. Particulars will z made known to the public later. 4 K. of c. Junior team will probably be organized and will enter the proposed shop league. This will have a tendency to develop young men who may eventu- ally make the big club. The manager says there is some splendid baseball talent in Norwich if only developed and he says that all young men should take m active interest in the game, as it is a manly sport. learn them to think and act quick and soSe of them would un- doubtediy follow the footsteps of Ned Hanlon, Billy Hutchison, Dan Murphy and others who in the past kept Nor wich on the baseball map.
 It is the intention of the manage. ment to hodl a conference with ths business men of Norwich in the neal future and indulge in a general tall relative to baseball matters. The head, of one large corporation doing a big business in this vicinity have assured tn, manager that they would be pleased tC offer good positions to any out-of-towr ball players that could be secured.

 ''ThiS rough spot never was put ther, by me. It usually came through ths ball hitting the stand or a rough sur face of the field. I got so I depended too much on the 'shiner" in the pinch es.

Hod Eller, the leading exponent of the shine" ball, does not bemoan the loss of freak" deliveries under the new rules, and is insistent that he will not be handicapped in his pitching. If anything. he is more emphatic in his assertion that the sinner really was a handicap instead of an aid.
 The Cincinnati pitcher was king of all shine ball hurlers. but he says that the "shiner' by itself was not worth a darn.''
 It's trueI had a spot on my trouser smooth spot on the ball bv rubbing She pill on this parahne.' he says. but that smooth spot was not worth any
