TALK CHANGE FOR BASEBALL RULES:
 BUT DO NOT ACT

ST. LOUIS, March 26.-A St. Louis man suggests change in the base ball rules whereby three balls in- stead of four would entitle a bats man 10 his base, and a batsman who fGuled three balls after two strikes had been called on him should be declared ont. He frankly admits that he has no hope his suggestion will be adopted by the rule makers, but he thinks it is a good one, never theless, and is eager to hear what others think of it.
 The chief objection to the proposed changes in the rules, says a local expert, Is that there doesn't seem to be any need for them. The three ball rule would add to the burdens now borne by the pitchers, but in a measure these burdens would be frightened by the three-foul rule. In other words, slight handicap im- posed on the pitchers would be offset by a slight advantage. which would leave the situation practically the same as it is now.

RAWLINGS IS
 SLATED FOR
 TRADE ROUTE
McGraw Said to Be Consid- ering Giving Second Base
 man Away for Twirler.
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, March 26-Johnny Rawlings is to be waited away on a trade wind if reports around these particular parts are to be credited. Johnny is still quite a ball player and night prove as handy as a spare ire to the Giants this season. but McGraw is said to have other plans
 He is quite unamored of the ab.l- ity of young shortstop name1 Travis Jackson and it Is claimed that. if 1t comes to showdown be- tween Travis and John, the latter will draw one-way ticket else where
 To Accompany Seconds
 Tn support of this belief, rumor mprgers say Rawlings has been named to accompany the Giant sec ond team on narrowing tour of Southern hamlets and Jackson elect ed to ride the cushions with the first team
 It is significant that Ralph Shin ners enjoyed the distinction of being regular on the training trip last year He is considered quite an irregular now.
 The passing of Rawlings, if ever, will depend on several conditions. If, for example, Heinie Groh leaves some doubt as to whether his world s series comeback lacked permanency, McGraw could not or would not give up Rawlings at the point of gun.
 Will Want Hurler As q matter of fact, Rawlings will depait only in the event that no pitcher is developed who can take a day-to-day turn with Nehf, Scott and McQuillan The Giants only tangible weakness is questionable pitching and If Rawlings is to be tossed on the market 1t will be with the un- derstanding that the club wishing to do business fer him must be willing to part with a pitcher of some con siderable standing in the community
 NEW YORK, March 26.--Based on figures for January and February. and depending somewhat on supplies, the rroduct:on of motor cars and trucks should approach the 3,O0O,O0O mark in 1923, according to Alfred Reeves general manager of the National Au 'touohiIo Chamber of Commerce.

darker shade of blue is used on the
closed models. Tenders, run ing toards,

lation of these brakes, since the brakes
on the front wheels tend to keep the
car moving in the original direction of
travel even when the brakes are ap-
piled ON a wet pavement.
The mechanism on the front wheels
is so arranged that if brakes are ap-
piled when turning corner, the brake
on the outside front wheel releases,
while the brake on the inside wheel
is applied with increased pressure,
thus eliminating any tendency to skid.
The Oakland brakes have been so care
fully worked out that it is impossible
to lock the front wheels on a dry
pavement or road no mater how hard
the brakes are applied.
The L-head six-cylinder engine is
brand new and has been tested on
fleets of Oaklands for a period of
more than two years in various parts
of the country under every road and
climatic condition.
Fewer Parts Used.
A specially constructed combustion
chamber of the Ricardo type is used,

Factory Announces Com

for 1924.
FEVER PARTS USED

and Refined.
FEVER PARTS USED

Seldom have the new models Of any
motor car, particularly In the me-
|dium priced field, embodied as many
new and exclusive features as the new
1924 Oakland True Blue models,
shown here by the Koehler-Kunkel Mo-
tor Company.
Two years have been devoted to the
design, manufacture and testing OF
this new model.
Though the distinctive features OF
its predecessor have been retained, the
car has been newly designed from
axle to axle, resulting in a unified
mechanism in which all parts are per-
fectlv balanced and correlated.
With all of the new features, i'm
provements and refinements, Oakland
prices on the complete line are lower
than on the preceding model.
The following ten outstanding fea-
lures give a bird's-eye view of the
advanced design of the new Oakland +:
Four-wheel brakes, brand new L.
head six-cylinder engine. full auto
matte spark control, complete new
chassis. entire new line of bodies,
blue. standard color on all models. disc
steel wheels. standard equipment, all
hand controls centralized on steering

Probably of most popular interest
are the four-wheel brakes. They are

models greatly facilitates any adjust.

der being completely surrounded with
ample water space. The engines eff
ficiency, both in horsepower and torque
is greater at all speeds than any Oak
land engine of the same size previously
built.
Special bronze backed babbitt lined
bearings Of the type developed for Lib
erty motors during tie war. made by
patented process, are used on the
crankshaft. These bearings are held
to limits of 100000 of an inch when
manufactured.
Lightweight aluminium alloy pistons,
chain drive for camshaft and genera
tor, full pressure lubricating system
for the engine and specially designed
Stromberg carburetor are some of the
other features.
Automatic Spark Control.
The new engine is equipped with q
full automatic spark control, which
insures the correct timing of the spark
for any given engine speed.
The entire chassis has been newly
designed from axle to axle. With a
113-iIch wheelbase on which the spring
suspension has been carefully worked
out, easy riding and handling in traf-
fic are combined with convenience in
parking. A new type of single plate
disc clutch is used.
