durance mark, of 3O37 miles, under

pervision. Another stock Essex holds
the unequalled 24-hour road mark Of

But how many know why Essex in its

more evident of the influence of long
experience, than is commonly found in
cars even in their third and fourth year.
You will recall the Essex was an

You were asked to 60 look at it, take

Now that it has established itself,
it is revealed why Essex has all the
qualities of cars Of long development.

PEEL MANAGEMENT
 SENDS PLAYERS TO
 CHATTANOOGA CLUB

New Orleans. May 13.-(Special)-Jm Bradshaw, pitcher, and Outfielder Walter Johnson of the Pelicans were the first players on the local pay roll to feel the effects of the May 15 trimming, Manager Dobbs announcing Tuesday night that both these players would be transferred to the Chattanooga club.
 Bradshaw is only a recruit and. other than displaying a little greenness in field ing his position, shows lot of promise as a hurer. So much so, that Manager Dobbs was not disposed to send him away without string attached. He first attracted attention pitching semi-profes- sional baseball locally for Manager Barnes of the Elmer club. who induced the Pelican chieftain to give the young- ster tryout. He should ably help Strang Nicklin's pitching staff, which seems largely in need of assistance.
 Johnson was purchased by the New Or leans club, he having played in the Sally League last season He hit better than 300 and is considered good base run ner. So confident is Manager Dobbs that Johnson will round into form he is keep ing string on the red-haired outfielder

By MARVIN MCCARTHY

The Chicks are persistent fellows They seem determined to make the race inter-
 esting for the Barons McCloskey' $ trlpesmen defeated the Pelicans yester- day, and so doing pulled up high enough to tie Birmingham for leadership of the league.
 New pitcher Herpst is certainly husky looking guy. He towers as high as any, and is built on lines suggesting strength in general. He has all the physical as- sessments of a first-class hurler. Chief Moley announced last night that Harpst will pitch against Little Rock Sat urday.
 Rain has certainly played havoc with Birmingham sport card the past two days. High school and grammar school athletic meets. Birmingham-Southern Col lege baseball games, and a scheduled bat tie of the Barons have been prevented by rain and wet fields.
 Joe Coffindaffer will attempt to take some of the pep and enthusiasm out Of the Little Rock aggregation today.
 Charlie Frank has decided to turn Joe Guyon, famous Indian athlete, aloose upon the world Late reports last night had it that waivers had been asked upon Guyon, and that it was not yet certain that he will be sent to another league. Now's the chance for some team in the Southern which has a weak outer gar den to get a good fast man to corner flies for them.
 Which brings to mind that Birmingham has one of the best outfields in the league. Ellis is a consistent hitter and sure fielder. Griffith just overflows with sensational adeptness. His circus catches are the best in the league. Meeks is fast man, a good fielder a fair hi--

Howard Bulldogs Are Victorious In 5. P. U. Battle

Clarksville, Tenn, May 1s-(Spe- ciaD.-The Bulldogs of Howard Col leie ran riot on the bases here today. arH easily triumphed over the South western Presbyterian University by a to 0 count.
 King twirled for the collegians of Birmingham, and set the local aggre- gation of diamond warriors down with two hits and no runs during his nine- inning stay on the mound. The How ard hurler was in excellent form. Roberts was behind the bat for the Bulldogs, and caught nice game.
 The Magic City entries started SCOT ing carly and coined nine counters out of ten safe blows during the aft ernoons entertainment. The lads of Coach Chester Dillon were hitting the ball hard on each trip to the plate, and easily supplied the needed bingle when hit meant a run. Peahead Walker and McLane, the guardians of the keystone for the visiting clan of ballplayers, starred at the bat and played an important part in chalking up the nine runs.
 Cole essayed the hurling duties for Southwes tern, but was hit hard. How ever, the local moundsman received miserable support from his teammates, and should have gone the route with fewer runs being made off his deliv- cry. The s. P U. crew made eight miAplays behind Cole, and these errors acdbunted largely for the scoring of the Magic City athletes
 This is the last game of the two- game series scheduled between the two aggregations. Howard leaves for Nashville tomorrow, where the clan of Coach Dillon encounter the Wander bilt Commodores in a duo of battles Friday and Saturday. Score:

Editors note: This is the third of a series of articles in which Jim Corbett tells of his best battle in the prize ding his memorable fight against Jim Jefries in 19O3.)
 On August IA, 1903 I made my last apearance in a prize ring; fought the final battle of my career that had start l ed nearly 20 years before And I fought tbat battle with tho heavyweight championship of the world as the prize of victory.
 The arena was packed-the crowd widely enthusiastic. Sprinkled through it were friends of mine-many of them rals from boyhood days. But dominat- ing the throng were Jim Jeffries root CTS; men who thought the great war rior invincible and who figured that didn't have the slightest chance for victory.
 "Corbett is too old to whip Jeff now" trey said. And they offered to l. some even laid as high as to 1 against my chance for victory.
 GREAT FIGHTER
 And there was a reason. For Jeff that was in the greatest fighting con- VAtioil Ol HIS career. lie was SuperIa- tive as to condition. He was a man of mighty strength a gladiator of power tul blows-an athlete who could take terrible punishment and still come on for more.
 Jeff was all that in 1900 when I out pointed him for 227rounds only to sue cumb to a so-cal1ed lucky punch in the 23rd round. If Jeff of 1903 had been the same Jeff of 1900 fel that I would have had nearly an even chance to beat him. Even though I was "spotting" him nearly 25 pounds and nine vital years. But Jeff had something in 1903 that he didn't have three years before, and that was a new found knowledge of boxing
 In 1900 the huge Californian was but bruisihg, rushing slugging type of fighter who was utterly crude in science; man who knew little about Docking, feinting, ducking or side- stepping. But in 1903 he had, by con slant schooling, become a wonderfully clever boxer and so was no more the mark he had been. And I knew that I had before mo the prospect of the toughest battle of my career; one that I must wage against terrific odds My friends wagered on me in that | ccntesa-but not on the decision its- self.

 Jimmy Wilde is still tearing em up in America. Last night he knocked out Battling Murray, of Philadelphia. The stain on the little English fighters repu- tation left when Jack Sharkey decisively outpoipted him, is almost gone now. Wilde has been redeeming himself iu every bout since that encounter.

 Athletic club officials are pulling hard for the southern Olympic boxing trials for Birmingham, to take place in June. It is very probable that the event will be awarded Birmingham.

Chances are that in the next issue. the Cooler will also disclam any connection with the unhappy crew.

Atlanta Might
 Bid For Match BetWeenHeavies
By CLIFF WHEATLEY

Atlanta, May 3.-(Special)-A persist. ent rumor among the ring game followers of Atlanta says syndicate is being or- ganized with the object of making a bid for the Dempsey Carpenter heavyweight championship bout and that half millon-dollar guarantee has practically been assured. No definite plans have been made public by those having the matter under consideration. but investi- gation of the report shows it to be well founded and that several representative business men of Atlanta have already pledged themselves to champion the Gate City's bid for the fighting classic of the ages.
 With the organization only half com- pleted, the individuals in charge of the undertaking have asked that the amount of money already subscribed be withheld from publication, the figures to be an- nounced at later date, along with de- tailed plans of operation.
 Backing her bid for the championship fight with a half million dollars Atlanta will have an added advantage over her competitors, in that the Georgia laws per- init of finish battle, no limit being placed on the number of rounds the gladiators could use in disposing of each other.
 Atlanta, as the Gate City of the south by it's location alone, will command in- stant recognition when the financial guarantee shows the local promoters are in earnest. and this fact is certain to be taken into consideration by the busi- ness managers of Carpenter and Demp- Sey
