indianapolis Club Training
Between Clarke Griffith,
Washington Boss, Who
Let DOME Out, and Jack
Hendricks Of the Cincin-
natl Reds, Whose Job
DOME Got.
BY JOHN Il. FOSTER


Plant City, Fla, March 2s.-The
indianapolis club of the American
Association, which finished Just
above the tail-enders last season, is
burning up the big leagues in opera
ton down here in Florida. And
DOME Bush, the clubs new manager.
is enjoying splendid spring after
a hard winter.
DOME, who was let out by Clark
Griffith as manager of the Washing
ton Americans Mt the end of last sea-
son was feeling pretty good as a re-
suit of victories over Brooklyn, Gin
cinnati and the New York Nationals.
But his cup of joy was filled to Owes
flowing when he added IA trounc-
ing TO the club Clarke Griffith
thought he wasn't good enough to
command.
Just now it looks as if the cham
pionship Of Florida lay between
Washington. indianapolis and Clcve-
land and Bush is extending himself
for "spring pennant."
Denies situation down here is most
amusing--to DOME. To one side of
him, at Tampa. is Grif with his
Washingtons. To the other Orlando
is Jack Hendricks, commander of the
Cincinnatis.
Bush Friends Stole March.
About the time that Griffith was
deciding to send DOME out on the
tossing waves OF baseball's dead seq.
Hendricks concluded he didn't like
the way things were going in In
dianapOlis, where he was manager.
and had an idea he could get new
owners TO buy the club. He worked
n deal with Cincinnati which almost
took the property. But Cincinnati
withdrew at the last moment. Hen
bricks was stumped. He was out all
around until Cincinnati took him on
as assistant coach. The death of
Moran made him boss of the Reds
Cincinnati gave out that having to
build new grounds baked the deal
with indianapolis. The fact is that
DOME Bush's friends stole march
on Cincinnati and Hendricks and got
the team under their noses.
And here Douis is. with Griffith
to one side of him and Hendricks to
the other-and licking them both.
Bushs team is made up of many
old-timcrs. There's Eddie Sticking.

Bush says he is on his way to the
first division if his shortstop con-
tinues doing SO well. And Bush ought
to know, for he has played shortstop
himself so long that he can tell you
how many grains of sand there are
between third and second.
Hoddap is only Is, but he is as big
as Konetchy. He has shoulders like
n tug-of-war man and his legs are
thick and strong, but nc is as nimble
as n toe-dancer. He has an arm that

The scouts overlooked him last sea-

TO get first call on him for next year.
Bush says they won't. The American
Association now has the modified

keeps on pulling them in, the draft
will pull him in unless he is passed
along in the meantime.

Occasional Spray VIII
Keep Radiator Bright

Through serving as sieve through
which dust is constantly drawn by
the suction of the fan, the radiator
core becomes prematurely old in APP
pearance, particularly as viewed from
the front Often one will see an 9TH
erwise spotless car with a dull or
splotched radiator core.
By the occasional use of a pump
spray, the front of any car may be
kept solid black, aluminium, or any
desired color with little attention or
expense. The spray is filed with
liquid lamp black, or with ordinary
paint of the desired color, thinned with
equal parts Of gasoline. The gasoline
lightens the coat applied, and assists
it's penetration back into the crevices
in the core which cannot be reached
with brush. By operating the pump
handle the paint spray is distributed
evenly over and into the surface of
the radiator core, and new effect is
secured in few minutes. A piece Of
wrapping paper should be placed be-
hind the radiator to protect the en-
glne.-Motor.

Good Brakes Regarded
as Accident Insurance

Motorists are advised to see that
their brakes are always In the best
of condition so that quick stop can
be made in case of emergency. Faulty
brakes often cause accidents which
otherwise could have been avoided. ac-
cording to Dayton Keith of the Chi
cago Automobile Trade association.
In discussing the necessity Of eff
cient braking power, Mr.. Keith said !:
"Good brakes, always ready to bring
about a quick stop are the best accident
insurance a motorist can have. When
a sleepy pedestrian carelessly steps
out in front of a machine, or loses his
head in the middle of the street, the
motorist unconseiously does one thing
jams on his brakes.
my advice to motorists is to inspect
their brakes every two weeks-not less
than once a month. Keep them tight
enough so that they win grab hold the
instant they are applied. Keep all
connections well oiled. Don't ALLOW
your brakes to squeak; sqneaky
brakes are not safe and should be
looked after Immediately. If your
lining is worn, have the brakes re-
lined. Brake lining is much cheaper
than accidents and lawsuits"

Comfortable Stretcher Can

When travelling or camping it often

less special arrangements are made.
In the case of a light car, comfort
able stretcher can easily be installed

The back cushion is removed by TAX
ing out two wood screws at the bot
tom of the frame just above the tool
box, and lifting upward with two fin
gers inserted in the finger holes at the
center. This movement unhooks the
back from the strap located at the
center near the top, and allows the
cushion to be removed without any
difficulty, exposing a large storage
space A heavy strip of wood, which
forms part of the body frame, extends
across the back behind the cushion
about inches below the top. To the
underside Of this strip is nailed the
wide end of a doubled piece of heavy
canvas, cut according to the dimen-
sions given in the detail. The double
thickness of the material at this point
assures ample strength for fastening.

Carelessness Cause of
Many Big Forest Fires

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtculture.)
The forest service, United States
Department of Agriculture, says that
$4,000 forest fires every year destroy
timber and property valued at $16,500,-
600 besides costing many human lives.
Nearly 100000 automobilists visited
the national forests during 1923 for
recreational purposes, and many fires
were directly traceable to carlessness
on the part of the visiting automO-
bilist.
Here are simple rules which if OBJ
served will help prevent forest fires:
l. Be sure your match is outbreak
it in two before throwing it away.
2. Don't throw cigars, cigarettes and
pipe ashes over the side Of your ma
chine. Provide a closed receptacle. A
tin can will do.
8. Build small camp fires on bare
ground or on rocky surfaces away
from brush and trees. Scrape away
all inflammable material.
4. Never leave your camp fire un-
watched. When you are finished with
the camp fire be sure it's dead-then
bury it with dirt or gravel and not
with inflammable leaf mold.
5. Keep in touch with the forest
ranger. Report all fires you may see
however small Consider the ranger
as your friend whose duty it is to pro-
tect your forests.
6. Inquire about fire regulations. In
some states the law requires permits
before camp fires may fe built.
Z. At all times and under all circum-
stances be as careful with fire while
you are in wooded areas as you would
be in your own home.

Overlooking Is Harmful
to All Trucks and Tires

Here is how practical tire man ex-
planned why overlooking a truck is a
fault for which the owner or operator
gives up profit.
Say the full pack of soldier on the
march weighs 40 pounds, the days
march is about 80 miles. Carrying 40
pounds this distance equals 1900
pound-miles of work.
Now suppose the soldier was given
a 60-pound pack. To do the same
amount of pound-miles Of work he
need travel only 20 miles.
But 1t is doubtful if he could carry
such a load when 40 pounds had al
ready been proved to be his limit.
It is just this way with truck tires.
Properly loaded, they will do their job
well. Overloaded, they soon break
down.

GOOD
ROADS
INCREASE IN MOTOR
VEHICLES LAST YEAR


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
On December 81, 1923, there were
15,O92, 177 motor vehicles in use in the
United States, according to statistics
collected by the bureau of public roads
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. During the past year the
number registered increased by 2,S53,-
S02 vehicles, greater increase than
in any preceding year.
This increase, which is $4,000 reg
istrations greater than the gain in any
other year, means that the public de-
mand for road improvement, already
strong will be strengthened, and a
more general use of the road, partic-
ularly In a business and commercial
way, will result AS indicative Of the
commercial trend motor truck registra-
lions now total over one and one-half
million, the hundred-thousand mark
having been passed in New York, Ohio
and Illinois, and the fifty-thousand
mark In Indiana, Massachusetts, Mich
igan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Total registrations now exceed one
million in California, New York, Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
While the owners of motor vehicles
are insistent in their demand for more
and better roads, the statistics show
that they are bearing a very consider
especially of the cost of maintenance
of the state highways. Gross receipts
from registration fees, together with
the licenses of drivers, chauffeurs, etc,
amounted to $188,900000, or % times
the amount derived from this source
in 1913. During the same period mo-
tor vehicle registrations have increased
II times
In 30 states a gasoline tax. ranging
from one to four cents per gallon, is
imposed. Revenue from this source,
amounting to $36300,000. is spent very
largely for highway purposes. This
revenue will be materially increased
in 1924, since in many states such
taxes have been in effect only a few
months.
Past experience seems to indicate
that registrations viii continue to in
crease materially during the present
year. There is no doubt that road
construction will continue at about the
same rate which has been maintained
for the past two years. Much Of this
construction will be on roads never
before improved.
