SAN FRANCISCO. March 12. (Spe
cial.) The White Sox are tuning up.
The kinks, knots and wrinkles accu
mulated after a Winter of inactivity
are being ironed out and as a result
the Coast League clubs will likely find
more formidable opposition in the re
maining games of the exhibition sched
uled. Indications of the big leaguers'
improved form was furnished In Oak
land today by a 3-to-l victory over the
trans-bay optimists.
The prime factor in the combat was
"Reb" Russell's first stab at the regu
lation nine-inning route. He went the
distance and never once lost his smile.
The day before Cicotte was sent the
full pace at Sacramento and it is evi
dent now that the pitchers as well as
the other white-hosed players -are

show the sample of National pastime
that they exhibit in the big show.
"Buffalo Bill". Malarkey and "Cheer
ful Charley" Pruitt, two regular fellows
in the pitching line, went four Innings
apiece for the Oaks and only stepped
aside to give Barrenkamp, a 200-pound-er
from Pittsneld, in the Eastern Asso
ciation, a chance to make his bow.
The big fellow, who is Bud Sharpe's
protege, came through nicely in one
inning".
The contest was devoid of outstand
ing features. Outside of Murphy's
one-handed stop of Chappelle's ground
er in the eighth the fielding was ordinary.

Venice Defeatd Before Handful .of
Fans Game Is Wierd.
VENICE, Cal March 12-(Special.)
The Tigers and Chicago Goofs today
wasted 11 innings of perfectly good
baseball on the ocean air and many
vacant seats.
The Goofs proved their worth by
winning, 4 to 3. Barbour's walk, fol
lowed by Kid Sullivan's double, yield
ing for them the deciding ace in the
fir3t half of the eleventh.
This game was transferred to Venice
at the urgent request of many of the
local fans. No less than 11 of these
attended the game.
After today s turnout. President
Maier couldn't . well be criticised
should he yank his $50,000 park and
move it to some inland town, where
there are no Bulgarian bathing suits
or other counter attractions.
It was an ideal day for walking, and
25 athletes engaged In this mild, but
healthful form of exercise. Timmers
man alone walked 11. He also exuded
three wild pitches against the grand-Stand.
His. most sensational inning was the
elsrhth. when he issued three walks
and twice assaulted the grandstand
with wild pitches. Despite this
astounding generosity, the Tigers were
unable to score more than one run.
Everything considered, Timersman Is
about the wildest human being seen
in these parts since Drucke was sent
back to Texas.
Hank Chelette. who pitched the first
five innings for the Tigers, was a
good second, passing eight men.
Everything considered, the Venice
fans can hardly be censured for stay
ing home. Score:

SAN FRANCISCO. March 13. The
Chinese baseball team of Hawaii,
which arrived here yesterday on the

from spending the night in the deten

fielder En Suey.
The immigration officials were deaf
to protests that the players were na
tive-born American citizens, that eight
were voters and six members of the
Hawaiian National Guard.
"We're sorry," said the officials, "but
these men are Mongolians and must
undergo the usual examination."
Then it was pointed out that En Suey
was known a Ty Cobb, the iecond.

Number of Kniployes Cut From 830 to

staple Is Curtailed.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 12. (Spe
cial.) Democratic tariff legislation
has forced th California Cotton Mills
Company to reduce Its force of em
ployes from 850 to 570...
William Rutherford, managing di
rector of these Oakland mills, which
represent a cash investment of $1,600,
000, said today that his company's con
sumption of Imperial alley cotton had
been reduced -as a result of the rew
tariff law from 15,000 to 12,000 bales
a year, while the manufacture of bur
lap had been discontinued.
As a result, many of the spindles
and looms of these mills are idle. The
eliminations have been made where the
labor" element in the cost of produc
tion is gratest, and the mills are now
running on a non-divldi nd-paylng
basis.
This company is distinctively a Cal
ifornia industry, not alone because it is
the only cotton mill in the state, but
also because the source of its raw ma
terial and the market for its product
are either within California or the
direct result of California enterprise.
Its cotton comes from tne fields in the

th
e Personal
Touch
The man who buys an automo
bile without riding in it first without taking
the wheel himself without getting the personal touch
and the definite knowledge of power that it brings
.is buying with his eyes shut and taking a long chance.
Why don't you follow the
Mitchell plan get your experience before
you buy and risk nothing, rather than pay for your
experience afterwards and have absolutely no redress?
We don't want anybody to buy
a Mitchell without the preliminary personal
experience. We are tremendously in earnest about
this, yet we arc entirely safe because the 1914 models
will answer every demand you make upon them.
They will prove themselves. They are better than
a ton of advertising and big words.
After you get the personal
touch and demonstration ask about the
details. But ride and drive first.
