SPRING LOGIC

Springs, next to tires, are one of
the greatest factors Of preservation
on the car, and better care OF
springs means longer wear to tires.
Springs that are always in condi-
ton to absorb their share of road
shocks are bound to relieve tires of
a great amount of punishment.
Stubborn springs, where neglect has
deprived them of much of their
resiliency, thrust greater punish
ment on the tires. This unequal
distribution causes unnecessary
wear on tires. Springs that are
kept well creased, at the proper
places add life to the tires.

WHEN BUYING "GAS"

When buying gas at the service
station make sure the hose is clean
before putting the gas into the
tank. The hose is often hung onto
the tank with the nozzle up. Imme-
diately after a rain the water will
get into the hose and when the
gasoline is poured into the auto
tank the water also gets in. Many
times the hose is half full of rain
water.

ELEVEN BIG LEAGUE STARS
STILL ON HOLD-OUT LIST

while Tony Lazzeri, Mark Koenig and

Critics consider as even more serious
the salary differences of Eddie Roush
with the Giants. The former Red
outfielder. obtained in a deal which
sent George Kelly tonCincinnati, is a
perennial holdout, but this year his
fight appears more serious than usual
for base ball men hear he is demand
ing $50, 900 and three-year contract.
President Stoneham's original offer to
Roush was $19, 1000 on three-year ba.
sis, which was the figure Eddie de-
nlanded from the Reds.
Tommy Thevenow, brilliant shortstop
of the Cardinals, demands considerably
more than the $4,000 he received a
year ago. and refuses to accept a
three-year contract calling for a slid
ing scale of increases. The clubs fig
ures, starting at $500, do not strike
Tommy as being sufficiently generous.
Hughie CritZ, sparkplug of the Cincin-
natl infield, asks a three.year contract
paying him 100000, to which Presi-
dent, Hermann thus far has declined
to Yield.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 12.--The ma
jor league training grind came to the
end of it's third week today in a drum
fire of contract wars which already
have pierced the Notifications of at
least a half dozen club treasures.
Two New York clubs, the st. Louis
Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds, ap-
pear the most seriously involved in
fighting off the assaults of the hold
out league OF This quartet, the
Yankees seem likely to suffer the
most damage. Two of their stars,
Herb Pennock, crack southpaw, and
Outfielder Bob Meusel are battling for
big pay increases. Each is said to
demand a $4,000 salary. Urban
Shocker, veteran right-hand pitcher,
who was holding out for the same
figure, today finally signed. Shocker
had packed his grip at st. Petersburg,
Fla, and was ready to return home
when the club finally came to his
terms, according to the pitchers an
nouncement.
Salary jumps already have been con-
ceded many of his regulars by Col.
Jacob Rupert Yankee owner. Babe
Ruth extracted S2I0000 contract
for the next three years after asking
800, 1000 for the 1927 campaign. Out
fielder Earl Combs was next to fall in
line after long pan-andink duel,

has a badly bruised and Wrenched
foot, are not the only Nationals on
the casualty list. Goose GoSlin's right
hand is so calloused that the slugger
finds 1t extremely painful to grip a
bat, Ossie Bluege's throwing arm has
been affected to some extent by a
cold and Bennie Tate's right paw
is feeling the effects of catching so
many rookie hurlers in daily drills.
The receivers hand is nicely puffed
from wrist to finger ends.
But the Goose, Ossie and Bennie
will be in fine fettle soon, Trainer
Mike Martin declares. Theirs are
the usual physical infirmities to be
found at Spring training camps. All
the club really has to worry about
now is Johnson's fractured foot.
Although Bucky Harris said after
he had hurt his foot in the first
game against the Giants that he
would not resume his job at second
base for several days, he was in
his position today. He complained
after the contest that his wrenched
foot panied him greatly, however, but
thought the two day rest afforded by
the National schedule would be
sufficient to reduce the swelling and
soreness.
BarOnS May Get Rockies.
When Johnny Dobbs. Birmingham
boss, who is hanging around the
National base at Tampa. leaves next
week he may take a player or two
with him. President Clark Griffith
is considerably indebted to the
Barons on account of the many
athletes he procured from that club
last year and may pay off partly with
pitchers and fly chasers.
1t would occasion no surprise If
Bill Morrell, righthand hurler draft
ed from the Eastern League after
the 1925 season, goes to the Birming-
ham club within as@day or two. And
there are a couple of other mound
recruits who are about ready for
shipment to the minors. The way
to the big show is not easy, as a
number of the young hurlers with
the Nationals have learned.

BEATS SCHAEFER, 4OO-18O,
in FINAL TOURNEY MATCH
Run of 229 in Fourth Inning Enables Californian
To Annex Title, While Best Run of Losing
Cue Wizard Is Only ~.

At this point Cochran swung into
action, gathering the worries from Il
bad leave. and the monotonous click
ing of the balls and the calling OF
points appeared to be endless until
229 had been reached, a miss OF a
short bank to the side rail stopping
what appeared to be the final run
for home.
AS each century was reached the
audience applauded Cochran and at
the end of the run was given almost
an ovation as. victory appeared al.
most certain within his grasp.
Undaunted Schaefer came back,
but only with a meager seven, while
Cochran added an additional 80 points
to his string. Jake then ticked off
80. but 1t sank into insignificance, as
Welker gentle toyed with the balls
for a nifty SO, quitting on a short
draw to the end rail.
This left Cochran with only is 10
go. and Schaefer started in to do or
die He kept ticking off the points
in splendid style and the big run that
the audience was looking for ap-
peared in the offing. but he stopped
after garnering ~. a miscue at the
end rail shutting him off.
Cochran got the balls together
quickly and without heSitating a
minute. clicked off his necessary is
that made him the champion OF the
world.
After the applause had subsided,
Secretary Thompson of the National
Billiard Association, presented Coch-
