almost certain to make an upward
trend in the next three months.
Think that over and get your bar
gain while the getting is so un-
usually good"
And now that all the talk of
pleasure cars is over, it's worth
while to devote a little space to Sec
ond-hand trucks, and we'll let L. G.
White; manager of the General
Motors Truck Company, review and
forecast a little for used truck buy
ers. Says Mr.. White:
while the year 1880 was not as
productive from standpoint of new
truck sales, it was productive from
a standpoint Of used truck sales. 1t
also afforded an interesting study in
the type of used trucks sold and the
class of organizations who purchased
this secondhand equipment.
Sold to Companies
"Our analysis shows that quite a
large percentage of these trucks
were sold to representative COM
panies, and it proved to our salts
faction, at least, that these COM
panies were convinced that there
was such a thing as a secondhand
truck which still had a considerable
mileage value.
There has been an impression
existing, perhaps justly, in the
minds of many people, that Sec
ond-hand motor truck was second
hand and unproductive, because it
was a wornout vehicle.
"In our own case we developed
plan in 1880 whereby all second
hand trucks were completely in
spected by our service department
before accepting them in trade, and
if these units involved any invest
ment on our part, they Immediately
we're put through our shop as
quickly as they became Our prop
erty.
"They then were placed on our
salesroorn floor and shown to those
people interested in their exact
condition.
Analysis Is Made

secondhand truck, the concern

Mr.. Bunny Hare, who has been
in business here for sixteen years,
asserted today that in his whole ex-
perience he never had seen such op-
portunities for buyers as will be the
rule this week. And this opinion
is echoed by all the others inter-
viewed.

L n the fondest dreams of the
motoring public fill city salesrooms
today, as Used Car week is ush-
tered In by progressive dealers OF
Indianapolis.
Better reconditioned cars, better
prices, better terms-that sums up
the situation It heralds a busi-
ness revival in this line that viii
extend to other industries and aid
in the march back to prosperity, be-
cause it primarily will benefit the
man of small income, the back
bone Of the consuming public.
Dealers are unanimous in their
declarations that never before have
their lines been so complete, with
selections over a range wider than
ever before in automobile sales his
tory.
Formerly a used car buyer gam
bled with fate when he became a
purchaser. That is not the policy
OF today.
Checked Thoroughly
Before a used car reaches the
saleSroom floor, it is thoroughly
checked from front to rear bumper,
and all faulty parts replaced with
new ones. The motors of some cars
are rebuilt completely, to insure full
satisfaction. The car then is washed
and polished, the unholstery is
cleaned, and the tires are checked.
Many times new tires are placed on
the wheels.
It's not just the high powered
sales talk that dealers are putting
out this week. It's hard facts. The
cars will speak for themselves.
Imagine, if you can, stepping into
salesroon and buying a snappy
roadster, with all the trimmings,
for 5000 to $400, that ordinarily
would set you back $7O0 to 81 600.
1t seems unbelievable, but it'll be a
common enough occurrence during
the next week.
Terms of the Best
And if you have family, you'll
discover that you can get that Sc
dan, for which you gloomily OBJ
served you'd have to pay $500, for
about half that sum. And that's true
of every model and virtually every
make of automobiles, They've all
joined in the procession, which
means money il your purse right
now, when it's rather hard-to-g get
commodity.
Payment arrangements will be
easy to make. The terms will sur
prise the most exacting and fit the
leanest pocketbook.
Every effort will be made by In
dianapolis dealers for the next week

which bought this unit was buying
a certain number Of miles, exactly
in the same manner that one Of our
customers would purchase a new
unit. We felt that We were quail
fled to know, approximately, at
least, how many pay miles still re-
mained in this unit.
1--WE attempted, in a great many
cases, to analyze the prospects
needs and recommended to them a
unit which We thought best was
qualified to do their particular
work.
I'm the final analysis, we found
that these sales, so far as our Gus
toners were concerned, and so far
as we, ourselves, were concerned,
were particularly gratifying and
the fact that many of these Gus
toners have purchased not only one.
but several, used trucks from this
company, is proof abundance that
there is dollar value in good Sec
ord-hand motor truck, provided
the truck is purchased from the
proper people and has had the bene-
fit Of thorough going over in an
up-to-date shop.
Needless to say, with the sue
cess of this sales plan during 1880,
we are going to follow the same
procedure during 1881. and from
there on. Those customers who are
anticipating the purchase of
secondhand motor truck will re-
ceive the same careful attention by
this company as those who are pur-
chasing new motor trucks"

I am fortunate in having played on some of the greatest teams in the American league--teams that won pennants and worlds champion ships. With that sort of back ground, ought to have a fairly good idea of what to expect from major league players.
 Five years experience in the man. agement of minor league teams has given me an insight in the handling and development of young players. I expect this to assist me lot In working with the Red Sox.
 With all the older players on the Red Sox team, I am fairly well acquainted, but by taking the young sters to Pensacola 10 days in ad- vance of the regulars I expect to pick up some points on them that will enable me to decide what has to be done with them to bring them up to American league re- quirements.
 Fine Pitchers.
 Thus far, there has not been a writer nor any baseball man that have spoken with who has not told me we have as good, if not a better pitching staff than any club in the league. If that Is true, 1t means considerable to us. Person ally, I think MacFayden, Morris, Durham. Gaston and Russell are fine pitchers.
 In so far as our catching is con- cerned, Charley Berry, Muddy Ruel md Ed Connolly will compare favor. ably with any of the catching staffs. Aside from these three. we have two young catchers who might show more than we expect.
 Our outfield is not at all bad. My big job, as I see 1t. is to whip an infield into shape that will even tually be of major league caliber.
 I know very little. about Sweeney, but I am told that he is an aggres- sive, hustling first baseman-one who likes to win.
 At second base we have Marvin Olson. who Is most highly touted. I am told that when Began was hurt last fall, Bob Reeves played second as good as any player at that posi- ton.
 Tn warstler and Rhyme we have two of the best fielding shoftstops in lot, of course. if either of them would bear down a little more on the hitting.
 Third base presents a problem. For this position we have Otis Mil- Ter and Al Marquardt, who was pur- chased from Nashville. We also will try to make finished third baseman out of Rothrock, who has had some experience at the posi- ton.
 Plenty of Material.

Johnny De Vito, Brooklyn A. c. baseball ace pinman led the big par ade of club bowlers according to final averages just compiled by Char ley Romanauskas, league secretary. Johns average for 66 games was 107.30 which Is pretty smooth roll- ing, you must admit, and 1t is most certain that the quiet young man will be lauded verbally and mater ially at the big feed which the Brooklyns usually toss to wind up a strenuous season on the polished maple.
 The team of stalwarts, explained by Valentine Jonikas. copped the five man h0nors with a mark of .742, winning 49 out of 66 games. DeVito's rollers were second with AZ wins and 19 defeats for a rating of TIP. In- dividually, Loftus, Conway and Car roll all have averages of 107, though Loftus rolled 63 games against 66 for his mates. Conway made 107.12 and carroll 107.1. Here's the figures:

The situation has been consider ably complicated by the statement of Walter 5. Spencer, principal of Con- ftlercial High school, New Haven and president of the Connecticut Inter scholastic Conference of which Will by High school Is q member.
 Meet for Commercial Purposes?"
 Interviewed this morning, MT Spencer reiterated the statement credited to him by which he was quoted as saying that members of the conference whose teams plan to enter the Newport tournament, will jeopardize their membership in the Connecticut body if they play there, as the National High School asso- citation has very definitely disap- proved any of its member teams from entering the play" Asked by the writer if he knew why the New port New England tourney had been disapproved, Mir Spencer stated that he was of the opinion that the na- tional executive committee thought the scholastic requirements govern ing the tourney were Not too strong" and, more importantly, that tho Rhode Island tournament was run for 'commercial purposes only. :"
 NATIONAL RULE
 In regard to his position in the matter as regards Connecticut teams, Mir Spencer referred the writer to Section 3, Article 2 of the national association rules on tournament eligibility which states that schools of unit membership are not allowed to enter their teams in basketball tournaments not approved by the executive committee of this associa- tiOn."
 GET THE POINT?
 You know" MT Spencer contin- ued '.the two Bridgeport high schools, Harding and Central are just itching to get into the Yale tournament and If Naugatuck and Wilby insist on going to Newport we shall have to settle the matter one way or the other at meeting of the Connecticut Conference which I am ready to call.' In other words, the speaker plainly indicated that Naugatuck and Wilby. would be promptly ruled out of the Yale tourney if they planned to go to Newport.
 Informed of the bylaws, referred to by MT Spencer, Principal Ken nedy member of the Connecticut executive committe, pointed out that the rule referred to was a rule of the national association and whether or not 1t governed the Connecticut conference was an open question in his mind. To support his doubt in the matter, Mir Kennedy said that the eligibility rules of the national asso- aiation and Connecticut conference member absolutely conflict and if the national eligibility rule is not binding on members, he was not sure that any other of its rules were. either.
 EXPECTS SUPPORT
 In conclusion, MT Spencer stated that he thought the difficulty would be easily straightened out, as he ex- pected the support of both Wilby and Naugatuck in the matter. Weth- CT or not he will get 1t is something else again, particularly if the board of education grants permission to enter the local team in the New Eng land play.
 COMMITTEE SAYS
 Dr Michael c. Donovan, superin- tendent of schools informed the Democrat this morning that he had received the consent of two members of the activities committee who ap- proved Wilby's entry in the New England play, and he expected to
