There are many fans who dislike the
intentional pass.
The other day received very
interesting letter from a well-read
fan. who offers a very unique idea
IN eliminate the intentional pass. l
am taking the liberty OF reprintins
the important part Of the communt-
cation that deals directly with the
big idea eliminating the intentional
pass.
Make a rule that whenever a
batsman has received a base on balls
he can. at his option. continue at
bat. and if he then receives another
base on balls, he can take two bases
instead of one, and still have the op-
ton Of remaining at bat; and II he
receives a third base on balls. take
three bases.
I'm order 10 make this option Of
some value, Il could be understood
that il first base were occupied at
the time of the hrst pass. the base
runner there could move up a base,
and other base runners move ahead
II forced. This same thing would
apply II the batsman gets a second
base on balls.
Assume a tie score in the later
innings OF a close game, a man on
first and third, one out and Ruth at
hat Under present conditions. an
intentional pass would put three
men on bases. make a force play to
any base available TO the defense, a
possible double play at a number OF
points and a weaker batsman at bat,
all factors in favor of the defense.
Under the suggested rule, after
a base on balls to Ruth, the man on
. first moves 10 second, no force plays
are then open anywhere, and the
pitchers is still faced by Ruth. A.
possfble second pass (moving ahead
the man on second,) would force in
a run, leave a man on third, and the
pitcher still faced with the problem
NJ dealing with Ruth il the batsman
decides to stay at bat. He can. III
he elects, take second and leave the
burden of scoring Nbase runners to
the next man on the batting order.
This plan would at once do away
with intentional passes and force
the pitcher to pitch to the batsman.
thereby very much increasing the

value OF the hard hitter to his team
at critical moments.
THE situation would work itself
out with only one base occupied IL
the batsman should exercise his op-
tion and take three passes. OF
course it at any time the batsman
hits the bal he must abide by the
result OF that action in the regular
way"

the persistence with which the Cad

the motor car is primarily a passen-

gine should be Of type which would
lave the greatest percentage of chassis
space for body purposes. The rigidity
of the short crankshaft and crankcase
and the smooth flow of power in the
9O-degree, Weight design, have been
added factors which have determined
them in continuing with the v-type,
90-degree, eight-cylinder design.
"The inherent balancing of the re-

A man of the ability and vision

the significance of the fact that

million cars and is today far be-
hind with orders. I am sure that
Mr.. Joske would agree with me that
such a record is the best evidence
IF the favor and esteem in which
the car is held by the motorists
throughout the world. Then, I
should mention the unsurpassed SER
vice facilities of the Buick Motor
company and its dealers throughout
the country in order to show Mr..
Joske that the dealers interest in
the customer does not end when the
sale is made. OF course. / should
not fail to acduaint Mr.. Joske with
the many refincments and improve
ments in the new Buick. including
new body lines. improved motor and
four-wheel brakes. This last faa-
ture should appeal to Mr.. Joske,
who. I am sure, recognizes the i'm
portance of proper and adequate

Then, with a recital Of Bucks

L-HEAD MOTORS
OF OAKLAND GIVEN
A SEVERE TEST
New Type Found Most Sat-
isfactory by Manufac-
furerS.

Once again the new L-head type
motors on the 1924 Oakland models
are being subjected TO nearly the same
tests through which they had been run
during the two years in which they
we're being tried out, according to
Charles Koehler of the Koehler-Kun-
KEEL Motor Company.
"The demonstration is being made
through the fleet of True Blue Oak
land Travellers that left the factories
at Pontiac. Mich, September s. TO all
sections of the country" says MIR.
Koehler.
"The design of the new 6-54 models
was started three years ago. Cars
were tested for months under every
conceivable weather and road condi-
ton, from coast to coast. They were
run nights and days on Union Town
Hill and in winter among the noun
tains of PENNSYLVANIA. They were
proved out on the deserts of Arizona
and New Mexico and in the noun
tains of California.
"The last six cars put into test
we're run 10S.420 car miles. The
least mileage registered by any car
was 81 ,007 miles.
"One of the cars was driven $40
miles in "a hours, while another was
driven 275 miles in 71-2 hours by
one driver.
1t is the first winter that expert
ment cars have been on the road with
out damage to the cars themselves or
other cars or injury TO any person.
"Thus the motors were more Wig
orously tested than ever before in the
history of the Oakland Motor Car
Company.
a specially shaped combustion
chamber of the Ricardo type is used,
giving greater power per cubic inch
of piston displacement without fuel
knocks or defamation. Oakland is
probably the first company which has
built both overhead and L-head mo-
tors of the same bore and stroke and
due to the new developments in L.
head construction. it has been found
that this type of engine gives the
greatest power and best performance.
"The motor has a bore of . 1916
inches and stroke of 43-4 inches.
with total piston displacement of
III cubic inches. which is exactly the
same as the previous Oakland engine.
"There are 124 fewer parts on the
new valve mechanism than on its
predecessor.
each cylinder is completely sur
rounded with water-jacketed space,
which gives an even temperature
throughout the engine Tho cvlindar
block has a detachable head and the
block and crankcase are separate
units. This construction makes it
possible to replace a cylinder block
without refitting crank shaft or bear
ings and without removing the motor
from the chassis"

NOW IS TIME

WARNS NINA.
Motorists Urged to Get
Economizing Habit While
Prices Low.
BUT FEW KNOW HOW
Car Owners as Rule Not
Clear as to How They,
: Can Save Gas. e.

"Now Is the time for the car owner
to learn to economize on fuel" warns
the National Motorists association in
a statement just sent to its affiliated
clubs, numbering more than 3OO
throughout the country.
The gist of the N. NJ. AS "tip' is
that if, while gas prices are low, motor
lists get into the habit of being thrifty,
consumption of fuel will not increase
in direct proportion to the incrase In
cars, and the law of supply and de-
mandtwill insure continuation of the
downward trend, or at least lessen the
possibility of an increase in prices.
1.-THE natural tendency when prices
sag 10 to waste gas" says sthe N. NJ.
A. statement. 1.-THE lower price of
gas at present, discounting certain
local irregularities created by I'M
natural and temporary forces, is due
to an excess of production over con-
sumption, and it is quite evident that
II consumption is now radically in
creased through waste the surplus will
vanish and prices will naturally go
high again. This is all the more prob
able. owing to the fact that in addition
to the actual wastage of gas and the
enormous increase in the use of fuel
oil for heating purposes the refinerf
have curtailed production of gasoline.
How to Save Fuel.
Motorists, however, are not entire
" clear as to how they can save fuel.
The average car owner thinks he has
gone his limit if he sees that the car
buretor is properly adjusted, that there
are no fuel line leaks and that he
does not let the engine idle unneces-
sarily. He does not know that the
greatest fuel waste Is the sum total
Of the seemingly inconsequential forms
Of waste.
, "He does not know that the faster
he travels the more 1t costs, nor that
there 10 a difference between 20 and
30 miles an hour sufficient to cost an
additional dollar a thousand miles for
a ear that does 20 miles to the 20
cent gallon at ten miles per hour.
Assuming that million motorists
during the course of a year each drive
1000 miles at a speed of 30 when
twenty would be just as satisfactory
1t ID evident that a million dollars
worth of gas is wasted on this ono
count alone.
STARTING a cold engine costs any
where from two to four times the nor
NAL cost of gasoline mile, which
in the case of a car normally doing
ten miles an hour means frequent gas
expense running as high as from four
to eight cents per mile for fuel cost
ing 20 cents a gallon.
'The gasoline engine requires ex-
cess gas consumption in starting, but
the large variation is largely due t.
the wide difference in carburetor ad
jnstments, preheating arrangements.
adjustments of the choke and skill OF
the driver in starting. The cost of
starting most cold motors could be
cut at least so per cent.
Now Is Time to Conserve.
EVERY opportunity for starting the
motor without choking 1t, and every
chance to make one stop in parking
serve for two, means saving gas. A
machine that requires q gallon Of gas
to 70 twenty miles will consume

fact, a ride is a revelation, even to

The Lincoln was conceived and lie

idea was to build the finest car that
could be obtainable at any price.
True, the price of the Lincoln is
little higher than many of the So

You ask how l should go about

that, in view of the fact that Mr..
Jeske is so situated that he can bny
any make of car to which he takes
a fancy, the salesman would have &c
offer some real. intelligent sales
argument in order to get his name
on the SLOTTED line, But that
would not worry me in the least.
should tell Mr.. Joske how Stude-
baker has long record of successful
manufacturing; of how one of its
first vehicles saw nearly thirty
years of use; and of how the cor
pOration today is one of the largest
of its kind in the world. turning out
products the annual value of which
runs into millions. After thus de-
scribing the Studebaker corporation
to Mr.. Joske. should invite him
e.. to go for a ride in order that
might demonstrate the smooth run
ming qualities of the car and its
ease of handling. Then. I feel GER
tain. I should have no trouble ir
closing with Mr.. Joske for one Of
the popular Studebaker models.

day the sales of the car compare with
those of many of the older and more

it is to say that the car is equipped
