That doctors have seen and taken
advantage of the benefits to be de
rived from automobiles Is made evl
dent by the jjreat number in use among
the profession. In small country
towns, in particular, where there are
perhaps not more than half a doxen
cars In use. It will usually be found
that one or two belong; to doctors.
This Is because a, email town physician
usually ministers to the farmers and
others for mllea aronnd and finds that.
where It used to take the better part
of a day to make a call 15 or 20 miles
away, he now can make several such
trips In a day and at less expense to
himself.
One example of this Is Dr. F.
Smith of Tillamook, a coast town BO
miles from a railroad. Dr. Smith sold
his two horses early this Summer and
purchased a small runabout in which
he manages to visit patients within
a distance of 30 miles south or north.
Now that he has tried the more up-to
date way, he wonders how he carried
on his business for so many years with
horses. In Salem there are two doc
tors In partnership, both or whom own
cars and do largely an outside busi
ness in the surrounding; country.
Physicians who drive cars are more
fortunate In one way than the average
driver in that there is no limit placed
by law as to what speed they may
travel. A small red cross painted on
the radiator denotes ownership by
doctor and officers never molest these
cars.
In some of the larger cities in the
Kast automobile ambulances are In use.
These are usually of the electric type,
so as not to jap the Injured person in
side and, as in the case of the New
York fire chiefs car, are built specially
for speed. Several Incidents are on
record whore the quickness of these
cars in getting; patients to the operat
lng table has saved lives and it will be
the natural result for all cities In time
to adopt them.
WIU F. LIpman. secretary of the
Portland Automobile Club, plans the
formation of an addition to the club
for women who drive their own cars.
This will give the fifteen or twenty
women In Portland who drive an op
portunity to meet and discuss automo
bile subjects. Also, they will have an
opportunity to listen to lectures
which are to be given next Winter.
Several of the best authorities on gas
engines in the city have been engaged
to give these talks and it will be pos

was brought out Friday night. An au
tomobile Ailed with people was pro
ceedlng along the Base Una road near
Gresham, when, on turning a corner.
It suddenly came Into collision with a
wagon standing In the middle of the
road. The team had been unhitched
and the wagon left without any lights
of any kind on it. Fortunately, no
one was hurt and but small harm done
the machine, but, as the blame Is al
ways attached to the driver of the mo
tor. In a case like this It certainly
teems only right that horse-drawn ve
hicles should be made to carry lights.
The Automobile Club will present the
matter to the City Council next

Captain C. J. Mann, ,of Seattle, made
a record run in his' Pope-Hartford
from Seattle to Portland last Wednes
day. Leaving Seattle Wednesday
morning early. Captain Mann came
through without any trouble whatso
ever and completed the run In exactly
II hours and 10 minutes, and this with
a half hour's delay at the Vancouver
ferry. The best previous record was
something over IS hours. Captain
Mann reports the roads good with the
exception of the stretch between Ta
coma and Toledo, this being rocky.
Mrs. A. H. Payson, of San Mateo, Cal,
made the run to Portland with her
chauffeur recently In eight days. Mrs.
Payson is enthusiastic over Oregon's
scenery and believes autolng to be the
only way to see the country properly.
The machine wa shipped back to San
Francisco by boat.
The tour to Tillamook yesterday,
which was being considered by the
Automobile Club members, was given
up for the present, owing to the reporf
given of the condition of the roads
by C. J. Cook. Mr. Cook has Just
returned from Tillamook in his Pope
Hartford and declares that it Is a
pretty hard trip and that the roads in
places are bad, although work on
them is being puehed. He made the
run of 13S miles in eight hours.

One of the greatest feats ever ac
complished by automobiles In compe
tition was the running of the five
Pierce Great Arrow cars in the last
Glldden tour. This team won first
place by going the entire distance of
about 3000 miles without an adjust
ment of any kind, and for many weeks
after the tour the care continued run
ning in the same perfect shape. The
Pierce cars also won the Hower trophy
for runabouts and at the latest report
were still running to see which of the
two cars in the team should get the
prlre. This performance Is a remark
able test of reliability and speaks vol
umes for the elx-cyllnder car, this be
ing the type the Pierce Company used.

Unsportsmanlike Portland Hunters.
That Portland hunters have recently

near the mouth of the Elkhorn River, be
tween North Yamhill and Tillamook, Is
the information brought by W. M. Vale
and J. L. Luxton, of this city, who re
turned from a 10 days' hunting trip Fri
day night; Said Mr. Vale: "We were
camped Just below two hunters from this
city, and we were disgusted to find that
these men had shot three deer and thrown
their carcasses into the stream from
which we were taking water. Their con
duct was unsportsmanlike in the ex
treme and the people of that neighbor
hood are highly Indignant, not only at
their disregard of the game laws, but
their flagrant act in contaminating a

such violation of the law shall not occur

Joe Kelley, Now Manager of Boston

Angry Protest,
t
flDeaklng of baseball yarns that
have stood the acid test, the story of
Umpire "Watch" Burnham's set-to with
t itaIIav nn t Via Baltimore diamond
has not only fought oft all corroding
influences, but has grown fat and
healthy from age.
On the day in question Keiljy was
late in arriving at the park, and at
the last moment discovered that he had
lost the key to his locker. Being the
possessor of a beautiful watch, Kelley
wM-am arrfiM to leavA It lvinsr around
loose, so he Intrusted It to the care of
the groundkeeper. When the game began
Umpire Burnham discovered that he
had forgotten his watch, so he called
the groundkeeper to get him a tlme-
plece. The groundkeeper obligingly
handed him Kelley's watch.
Toward the middle of the game a
dispute arose over a decision at second
base, and in a second an excited bunch
of Baltimore players had surrounded
the umpire and were Impressing their
opinions upon him with wild gesticula
tions. Burnham waved them away
and walked toward his regular posi
tion, but they followed close at his
heels and kept up the kicking. Kelley,
who Is now manager of the Boston
Nationals, was leading the protest.
In desperation. Burnham Anally
pulled his watch and gave the players
one minute to resume play or forfeit
the game. Turning on his heels ha
strode away. Kelley was so enraged
at the thought of Burnham getting
away with his decision that he leaped
forward and slapped the watch from
the umpire's hands, and with a kick
sent It spinning in the dust.
"You're out of the game for that,"
yelled Burnham. "And you are fined J2f
besides."
Not until he reached the clubhouse
did Kelley calm down enough to dis
cover that he had been kicking his
own watch. And it was a present from
his admiring friends at that. Until lie
retired from the game, Burnham was
thereafter known as "Watch" Burn
ham. Another story which grows better
with age has for its victim the famous
Dan O'Leary, who retired from the ball
game 12 years ago, and who now keeps
himself busy telling stories In Chicago.
Dan was the heavy hitter on a team
from Louisville which was playing at
Indianapolis. He was always an ex
citable fellow, and this day he com
pletely lost his head. At the time he
went to the bat the score stood 1 to 0
in favor of Louisville. The crowd was
yelling like mad for O'Leary to land
the ball In the daisies, and he did.
One of Dan's big swings connected
and the ball lit in the far corner of the
lot for a home run. In his excitement
Dan forgot himself and ran toward
third base first He made a complete
circuit of the bags in reverse style,
and about that time the outfielder came
running in with the ball. That home
run should have made the score 8 to 0
in favor of Louisville, but as Dan had
gone around the wrong way the one
run they had originally was substract
ed, leaving the score a tie. And thus
the game ended.
