The figure is based upon reports

tlsing in all of the newspapers of II
major cities and shows total for the
week of 22,705,63 lines. Compared
with the corresponding 1886 week S
total of 22493.399 lines, this is a

LANSING, Mich, April 2l.-The
board of directors of the REQ Motor
Car Co., raised today from five TO nina
members by vote of stockholders rep
resentlng approximately 5000
shares of common stock, voted to re-
tain the present management.
Those returned to office are Donald
E. Bates, president and general man
ager; George Smith, vice president
and assistant general manager;
George L. Brown, secretary treasurer,
and Dean Parsons, assistant secretary
treasurer.
The stockholders, gathered here to
attend the annual session, approved
the addition to the board of a group
of Eastern financiers who purchased
large block of REQ stock two months
ago.
They voted to the board directorate
Frank Vanderlip, jr., son of the New
York banker; Rowland Campbell, for
mer New York manufacturer; William
Loeb, ST., former secretary to former
President Theodore Roosevelt and
Charles G. Sinclair, also of New York.
A minor change in the bylaws to

new term plan was approved by the
stockholders. In this way Vanderlip
! joined Bates and Smith to serve a
| three-year term, Campbell and Sin
| clair were named to serve tWo-year
terms with Walter S. Foster, and Loeb
was elected to one-year term to serve
! with Ray Potter of Lansing and
| Carlton M. Higbee of Detroit.
Vanderlip spoke briefly, assuring
stockholders that perfect harmony
existed in the new directorate.
Bates claimed that the REQ company
was finding its way back to sound
financial footing. He said the COM
pany has 4,451 untitled orders at the
present time, "the strongest position
We have been in in seven years"
An indication that the company
might reverse the firm stand it took
last year in announcing that construc-
ton of REQ passenger cars would be
discontinued in favor of REQ trucks
was seen in remark made by Wander
lip that "the management has an
open mind on the question of again
entering the passenger field"

annual stockholders meeting today

shown gratifying improvement over

as to volume of sales and net income.
A year ago the annual meeting was
enlivened by storm of dissention on
the part of union representatives

number of directors to 18 from 81.

Bv HENRY McLEMORE
tunited Press Stan Correspondent,

New York, June 28. (UP)-1f my linen duster and motoring cap have escaped the moths, and if the glass in my goggles still is intact, I think I'll roll one of my cars of the gar- age next Saturday and have a go at the Vanderbilt Cup on Roosevelt raceWay.
 When I say "roll' mean just that, because not one of my auto- mobiles has even so much as back fired in the past ten years. They are, in the order in which they are lined up in the shed, Stevens Duryea, a Flanders 8 Saxon, a Haynes, an E. F. M. and pair of steamrrs-White and Stanley.
 Classy Job
 If I do enter the 300-mile Wander bilt Cup race I don't know which car I'll use. The Stevens-Duryea has 8 back entrance, which would be handy in case of an accident, but the wicker lunch baskets 1t sports on either side spoil its streamlining. The Flanders handles easily but I'm afraid its two cylinders wouldn't stand that long a grind. The Haynes is out because I've misplaced the lap robe that is such an essential part of its well-being, and think the steamers are ineligible.
 So perhaps the Saxon will be my choice. A sweet little car, that saxon. Mines a roadster with one of those "one-man" tops-you know, the kind that'll keep one dry if he has on a stout raincoat. Dependable, too. The last trip made in it was in 1919, and I remember how made the entire trip between Bradenton and Sarasota, distance of IA miles, without a single stop. That is, stop for mechanical trouble. There were three blowoutS, which l quick ly repaired with one of those kits containing patches, glue, and nutmeg grater.
 The Saxon won't make more than 25 miles an hour, even under the whip, but think it would have just as much change of beating the for eign cars as any of the other Amer ican machines You remember what
 
 happened in the race last year. of course. Tazio Nuvolari of Italy, driv- ing an Alfa Romeo made parade of the thing, and the only time the American drivers worried him was when he was passing them.
 This year the race is even more at the mercy of the imported driv- CTS and cars, because in addition to Nuvolari there will be the three great German drivers-Bernd Rose meyer, Rudolf Caracciola, the Ernst Delius-the Norwegian star. Eugene Bjornstad. and one of England's crack pilots, Dickseason.
 All of these are very hot numbers, especially the Germans rose-meyer and Caracciola. And what cars they drive, mby friends. They will be behind the wheelers of auto- unions. the fastest road-racing

Appling OverloOked-Bat= ting Power Stressed
 By SelectOr

Chicago, June 28.-CUP)-Man- ager Joe McCarthy's all-star player selections indicated today the American league once more would bank on power a bat for it's fourth victory in the annual game with representatives of the National league at Washington July 2.
 The field boss of the world cham pion New York Yankees picked the first six men off the list of bat ting averages and produced a squad of 23 players whose batting averaged .316. The infielders averaged 1925 and the outfield 1855.
 Luke Appling, White SoX short stop and American league batting champion last year, was the only notable hitter overlooked.
 The squad and their teams:
 New York: Vernon Gomez, pitcher, Bill Dickey, catcher; Lou Gehrig, first base; Robert Rolfe, infield; Joe DiMaggio, outfield.
 Detroit: Tommy Bridges, pitcher; Charley Gehringer, infield; Hank Greenberg, first base; Gerald Walk CT, outfield.
 Boston: Bob Grove, pitcher; Joe Cronin; Roger Cramer, outfield; Jimmy Foxx, first base.
 Washington: Wesley Terrell, pitch CT; Richard Terrell, catcher; Charles Myer infield.
 Chicago: Monty Stratton, pitcher, Luke SeWell, catcher.
 St. Louis: Harland Gift, infield; Beau Bell, outfield.
 Cleveland: Mel Harder, pitcher; Earl Averill, outfield.
 Philadelphia: Wally Moses, out field.

machines in the world. Seaman and DeliuS will use a Mercedes.
 Consolation Prizes
 The American cars simply can't match these government-subsidized European jobs. The Americans know this, as was shown when they re- fused to enter the race until of1- cials kicked in with a pot of $10,000 for the first, second, third, and fourth Americans to finish. The boys demanded consolation money and got it.
 The American machines are no match for the foreign cars in any department. On the fiat they are anywhere from 50 to 70 miles an hour slower. They can't take turns as easily, and one the up-pick they are hopelessly outclassed.
 The only hope the Americans have 1t that the foreigners will crack up. But that isn't likely, for this is a road race, and the over sea boys are infinitely better road racers than the Americans.

Princeton Boy Won Na- tiOnal Trophy in Out-

June 2s, 1916, at Chicago

 (This is the longest game ever
 played on June 28)
 Jimmy Callahan's Pirates won a thrilling eighteen inning encounter from Joe Tinker's Cubs, 3 to 2, when Wilson hit for four sacks in the first half of this frame, to break deadlock that had existed since the 9th inning.
 Although Pittsburgh was tied dur ing the greater part of this long battle, this clout of Wilson's put them in the lead for the first time, as Chicago failed to score of Cooper in their half.
 Three of the five runs were home runs, Zwilling and Carey getting the other two.
 Baird pulled the unexpected when he scored from second in the 9th, while Zeider was throwing Schultz out at first, the only run that the Pirates made in the regulation nine innings.
 The Cubs scored in the 11th on singles by Knabe and Safer, and Fischer's double, which counted Capt. Zimmerman, who ran for Knabe.
 All four hurlers used by Pitts burgh pitched creditable ball, pinch hitters being responsible for their removal. George Mcconnell pitched the entire game for the Cubs until Wilson's winning punch in the 18th, Hendrix stopping the last three Pirates.
 Max Carey led at bat, getting a home run, a double, and two singles. Hans Wagner saved serious trouble on more than one occasion by his miraculous infielding.
 NOTE: This is the 28th longest game played in the majors.
