AUT0M0B1LESH0W PLANS UNDER WAY Second Week in January Is Favored by Some of Dealers. NEW MODELS WILL BE HERE Concerted Action Is Lacking In Ab sence of Dealers Organization. Co-operation Suggested as ' Means to Avoid Trade Evils. Flan are on foot to hold the annual Automobile Fhow durlnff the second week of January, and at a much earlier date than heretofore. Several reasons are advanced hy the local dealers who are fostering the preliminary plans for the event for such procedure, and the principal or.e In that it Is- their belief that all the new modeled cars will have arrived here in time to be entered In the show, thus avoiding the possibility of conflicting; with a similar display to be held In Seattle and other Coast cities In the early Spring.. While the plans proposed by the few dealers Interested In the affair are elaborate In the extreme, there is an apparent laxity of concerted notion to that end by all the dealers, inis iaci aa-aln brings to the surface the evident need of closer relationship among the dealers. With an organization of some nature confined strictly to automobile llnea. plans for an exhibition of new cars could be furthered to better ends than under the existing circumstances. Few other cities of the size of Port land, which proudly boasts of its stand ing In motordom. are without dealers' associations. Experience has proved to dealers In other localities that their organization and concerted action on matters of benefit to them is essential to the uplift of their business. Dealers Need Mntnal Protection. Innumerable benefits are to be de rived by a cemented relationship, not only from the accomplishment of bene ficial purposes wltn greater ease, but In the protection of dealers In the trade. Very often It occurs that a purchaser has a car which he desires to "turn In-' on the purchase of a new model. With this end in view he approaches the dealer that handles a car that strikes his fancy. Naturally the dealer will quote a figure on the old car in an ef fort to interest the purchaser. For his own protection he Is compelled to hew close to the line in order to play safe, to make a marginal profit. Should the purchaser hesitate and repair to the local agent of his old car. he may be allowed a handsome advance over the first dealer. Consequently the second dealer accomplishes a deal with the purchaser for a new model car. The result Is that a car other than the one which struck the purchaser's fancy Is foisted upon him. with e. loss to the first dealer because of his inability to handle the second dealer's .car on an equal margin. Trading Prices Could Be Fixed. With an association of dealers, a schedule of prices could be arranged, as is done In other cities of tb country where dealers are affiliated, on cars of certain models, and would be adhered to In the matter of trades. The plans for the show now being formulated could without doubt be ex pedited and be made a success if all the dealers of the city would co-operate to that end. Formerly all automobile displays were held under the auspices of the Portland Automobile Club, to which organization belongs a great credit for the propagation of the en thusiasm In local motordom. It is safe to prophesy that the head and all mem bers of the local motorists' organiza tion will co-operate In any feasible venture that the dealers of the city might exploit toward the betterment of the doings in motordom. THEATRICAL PARTY GUEST OF MANAGER OF AUTOMOBILE AGENCY, WHITE EXGIXE IS DIFFERENT Intake Gases Heated Before Going Into Cylinder. One of the most conspicuous features of the new White cars on exhibition la local salesrooms Is the engine. The mechanism is unique and can be found on no other American-made machine. The intake gases are heated before be ing admitted to the cylinders, and tha exhaust gases are cooled immediately after leaving the cylinders. A single Intake pipe leads from the carburetor to the engine. Forming an Integrnl part of the engine casting are intake passages communicating with each cylinder. The charge of gas from he carburetor is heated In these passages, so there Is no condensation of gasoline vapor, and the cylinders receive a uni form mixture of proper richness. The exhaust gases, on leaving the cvllnders. are conducted through pas sages which, like the intake passages, are a part of the engine-casting. These passages are water-jacketed and the exhaust gases are Immediately cooled, thereby reducing the pressure and. in cidentally, reducing the noise to a mini mum. So slight is the back pressure from, the exhaust gases that a muffler of very simple construction Is used, and it la not necessary to provide It with a cutout.

Captain Dudley Clarke, of the varsity football squad, has been shifted from half to quarterback by Coach Forbes and will probably play that position for the rest of the season. This move fill" the weak rot In the Oregon Une-up. as neither Latourette nor Chandler, who handled the quarterback position between them last year, has shown up as well in all departments of the game as had been expected. Clarke played quarter Thursday and Friday In practice and In a full game to day. As soon as the big fellow gets used to whipping the ball around he gives promise of making one of the strongest quarters in the Northwest. Clarke is very fast, and 'e considered the premier punter In the West, and he runs the team In fine style. If he continues to play here It will give Oregon four heavy men be hind the line, as Clarke weighs 1SJ. and the highest of the other backfleld men. Taylor, tips the beam at This will he an Immense advantage In making an impregnable interference and strengthen ing the team's attack. George Sullivan will probably play Clarke's left half, while Latourette will be held in reserve for the present.

Local 'Agency Secured by Forrest Smithson N'ew Furnished by I ax a I Agencies. A car with everything a big car has. save alze. and which, from present pros- nj-t ir.imiwn to make an excellent showing Juring the coming season in this section, is the little "Hupmoblle." the local agency of which has been ac quired by Forrest Smithson. the world beating hurdler. The 'Hupmoblle" is lust as complete as the most expensive ca- made, only of a miniature construc tion. The engine is of the four-cylinder. water-cooled type, with three-quarter-inch bore and three-and-three-eights-lnch troke. developing 16-hnrsepower. Fea tures of the engine ere the off-set crank shaft, fan-bladed flywheel in front. Par son's white bronze bearings and noise less cam shaft. Transmission is ol tne lectlve sliding gear type. The clutcn is of the cone type, self-adjusting, and is Inclosed In the gnar case, running In oil. Shaft drive is used with Hyatt roller barfiiH. the shaft and universal Joint being inclosed and lubricated by oil from the crank case through the transmission. The steering gear Is of the racn ana pinion type with a rakish slant, a 15 inch steering wheel with an aluminum sDider being used. The carburetor is a Breeze, with hot rfir connection. Ignition hv means of a Bosch high-tension magneto, doing away with spark-coil bat teries and connecting wires. Two foot brakes of the internal expanding type and two emergency brakes of the same type, all operating on the rear nuns, are used. S.TnielllDtlcaI springs are used in front and a patented cross spring in the rear. The radiator is of the Mercedes type .with vertical tubes and straight fins. The fj-ame Is of pressed steel, the wheel base being S6 Inches. The weight of the car. complete with regular equipment, Is 1100 pounds. . Following the road race given under the auspices of the Automobile Club of California at San .Francisco yesterday, the principal motor events of the future are as follows: i October 28-30. Dallas. Tex. Three-aay track meet. Dallas Automobile Club. , October 30 Vanderbllt Cup race, Long Island motor Parkway, Motor Cup Hold ing Company. November 8-9.

Start or chassis. 139-mlle stock chassis and two 200-mile stock chassis races form part of card.' In more than one case there are several events of the aforementioned classes on the programme, the difference being In the natter of piston displace ment qualifications. A car which it is hoped will revolu tionize all motordom Is now under con st ryot Ion by the Brush Runabout Com pany at Detroit. The price of the car will be J4S5 at faotory and it Is designed to meet the requirements of farmers as well as townsmen. The manufacturers acclaim It as "every marl's car" and one which will spring into instant favor. Anticipating a run after its placement on the market, the Brush concern Is manufacturing 10.000 of the little cars. The lines of the Brush output heretofore are adhered to cloPely in the new ven ture. It s expected, to outclass all com petitors In the cheaper grades of cars. The manufacturers have accomplished a great achievement In constructing a bal anced motor. The result is single cyl inder simplicity, reliability, light weight and low gasoline and oil consumption, with four-cylinder power and smoothness". Among the remarkable features claimed by the manufacturers of the new model are: Wheel base lengthened six Inches over its competitors. Mercedes typed motor with new selective control, univer sal coupling shaft, improved dust com mutator, multiple disc, low and reverse clutches, transmission control levers en tirsly housed and oil tight. 'New light is shed on the automobile racing proposition as now handled In the following from Henry Ford, presi dent of the Ford Motor Company, on the rules of the American Automobile As sociation, under whose rules all sanc tiored races are held: "The proper racing classification is one that considers cylinder displacement only. "A 300-inch car should be considered the rightful competitor of every other 300-Inch car. "Another ruling which, while not an A. A. A. ruling, finds favor among promo ters and. In Its use. works a hardship on builders of light cars, is the rule nnder whim so-called economy tests are conducted. Instead of . the car which actually runs farthest on the least fuel winning, it's the car that makes the most ton-miles. "The average buyer wants to know which car will use the least fuel and be the least expensive to own and operate. Tho economj- test tells him that, while this car or that car will not go very" far on a gallon. It does go a long distance considering how much it weighs. Here again cylinder displacement should govern." CHICAGO GETS MORE BALL Xew Pnrk Building in Windy City. Association May Invade. CHICAGO. Oct. 23. Ground will be broken soon for a new steel and cement grandstand" on the proposed American Association baseball ground site at Shef field avenue and Addison street. The property was bought last Spring in the name of Charles S. Havenor. owner of the Mllawukee American Association Baseball Club. Mr. Havenor acted as agent In the transaction, and, although the majority owner, other association magnates were Interested In the deal, among the rest being M. E. Cantillon. of the Minneapolis Club, and his brother, Joe, late manager of the Washington' team. The real plan back of the enterprise, it was said yesterday, was to bring John Kllng. the former Cub catcher, here from Kansas City, to be at the head of a semi-professional team, in which casef the city league would be reorganized or else enlarged to eight clubs. COLTS TO PLAY TODAY J. G. MACKS WILL TACKLE .CASEY PLAYERS. In Rio de Janeiro the entire public-utility svstem streetcars, electric lights, gas and telephones Is owned by an American-Canadian syndicate. Amateurs Composed of High-Class Talent to Oppose Leaguers on Vaughn-Street Diamond. Pearl Casey's Colts, comprised of both Pacific Coast and Northwestern League players, are scheduled to meet the J. G. Mack & Co. team, one of the fastest local aggregations, on the Vaughn street lot, this afternoon. Casey had his players out for prac tice once or.- twice during the week when the weather permitted, and the lineup presented quite a formidable front. So much so that Casey wired Mike Lynch to secure a game with the Seattle team If that aggregation had not disbanded, but Lynch sent back word that his team had scattered and a game was Impossible. The J. G. Mack team Is comprised of some high-class young talent, and Is bolstered In places with former league players.' Collie Druhot. formerly of the St. Louis Nationals and the Indianapolis team of the American Association, will do the pitching for the Mackltes, and Phil Nadeau. formerly a popular out fielder on the 'r"ortIand Pacific Coast League club, will play second base. Frank Turk, a young Trl-City Leaguer who made a fine record in the Inter-Mountain League during the Sum mer, will also be found In the Mack lineup. Turk is a speedy youngster, and looks to have a most promising fu ture. Joe Fay. "Red" Rupert and Ray Hinkle will also grace the Mack team. All three are fast youngsters and capa ble of putting up a strong game. Charley Moore, the Columbia Uni versity lad, who playecjf second base for McCredie's champion team in 1506, and who has since been one of the stars of the Aberdeen Black Cats o the Northwestern League, will cover the short field for Casey's team. Fred Adams. Ed Kennedy, Jack Bassey, Bud dy Ryan. Big BUI Chenault, Win French and Charley Arrfibruster will fill In po sitions on the leaguers' nine.

AUTOMOBILE THAT IS JUST BEINGT INTRODUCED IN PORTLAND. - - '" -- --I-.- -'' ' -' " " , : Incline Is Five Blocks Ijoujr and As cent Is at Angle of Nearly 4 5 De- grees, Increasing JV ear Top. Feat Done on Ket. The hill climbing ability of a Stude baker 40 was tested Saturday afternoon when William Powell, a chauffeur In a local garage, ascended the Bancroft street hill with apparent ease and won a wager made with a companion a few hours before. The Bancroft-street hill In South Port land has heretofore proved a stumper to motorists. Scores of drivers have made futile efforts to reach its crest. Powell. In order to satisfy himself that the Studebaker car was all he claimed It to be, made a bet with a fellow driver. The failure of former drivers to succeed In reaching the top. caused his compan ion to cover the monej- Immediately. Then both drivers motored to the hill, accompanied by several of their seconds. The incline Is a trail over five blocks long with an angle of nearly 45 degrees. Several hundred yards from the top of the hill the angle becomes more acuta and consequently more difficult to climb. After reaching the base of the hill it was found that a "flying start" would be Impossible, owing to the approach. In full view of over 100f persons. Powell got under power and began the ascent on a "dead start." Gradually the car crawled upwards, bounding and re bounding from the aggravating "nig gerheads" and rocks that lay in its path. The obstacles, however, did not hinder the advance of the car. After reaching the precipitous Incline near the top, Powell manipulated his levers dexter ously. A few moments later the car was dragging itself nearer the brow of the hill. Then the front wheels were over the crest and the feat was accomplished. Powell won his bet and the Studebaker car won the distinction of being the first ever to accomplish the climb. E. Henry Wemme, president of the Portland Automobile Club, and several motorists made a run to Rhododendron and Welch's Camp on Mount Hood last Sunday. The run was for the purpose of ascertaining, the amount of work re quired to reconstruct the road to the mountain. President Wemme intends to begin the work of reconstructing the highway immediately. The subscription he Is "floating" among local motorists for that purpose already has a goodly number of signets and is being increased dailv. A fund of $10,000 Is being raised. One-half of this amount will be sub scribed by farmers along the route and the remainder will be advanced by mo torists at large In the city. Mr. Wemme has already collected a fund well up in four figures. Preliminary work is already under way. The approaches to Mclntyre Hill have been reconstructed and are now In fair condition. The roadbed has been unrtorhniRh on either side J of the road has been cut away for a distance or 50 teei. mis construction will be adhered to through out the entire distance of 31 miles. The object ot removing the brush is to permit the roadbed to dry more quickly after rains. The general work Is ex pected to be under way n two weeks. The H I... Keats Company sold Chal mers 30's to the following Portlanders last week: Dr. James Wiley. J. B. Teon, H Ij Cox. Orders for Chalmers 40 s were taken from R. V. Jones J. H. Wlenandy and R. F. Cox.

NOISELESS KIND It does not require a mechanical eye to note the superior merits of the new-style zigzag tire chain over the old-style cross chain. Besides being noiseless and positively non skidding on side-hiil roads, there are no cross chains to cut into the tread of the tire, and actual test they will outlast two sets of the old style chains. If your dealer substitutes on your order and sends the old-style cross chains, return them and report the ease to us. If an unreliable dealer "knocks" the ehains; take it from us that he is either tied up on a con tract or overstocked on the old-style chains and wants to unload.
