He was on the verge of signing with

he has a better chance to land In the

J. MOSS, of Vancouver, Wash.,

made a phenomlnal record for mileage.
He has accomplished a total mileage
of 34,000 miles and among the Journeys
were three round trips to California,
necessitating the crossing of the Siski

has been overhauled but once, and that

A handsome compliment has been

H. li Shiland. general manager of the

Cohen. "The Idea of showing In the
Individual salesrooms gives a salesman
the opportunity of holding the undi

American-manufactured machine. It is
considered that the field offers a good
future for the automobile trade, pro
vided It Is carried on persistently and
systematically. The lack of these re
quisites on the part of agents has more
to do with the amall number of cars
found in Bergen and vicinity . than to
ny strength of effort.
W. T. Sllddon and Captain C. P.
McCann, of Hood River, were visitors
to the Auto Show, looking over the
new cars. They placed orders for
Maxwells to be delivered after the
show. Mr. Sllddon is pleased over the
prospect for automoblling in Hood

Upon his arrival Iri Germany, the

Under a good roads bill recommended
by a special Joint committee of the
Wisconsin Legislature an appropriation
of 1300,000 Is to be msde yearly. Five
per cent of this Is to go to a road
maintenance fund and Illo.OOO a year
Is devoted to the expenses of the com
mission salaries, expert services, ex
perimental road building, etc. The re
sidue Is to go Into the road construc
tion fund, to which an automobile tax
of 5 a license Is also to contribute.
As the state's aid is to be about one
third of the total costs, the appropria
tion makes it possible to expend about
1900.000 a year for good roads construction.
According to the National Highway
Protective Association one In every

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4. (Special.
Considerable improvements in th
way of diamond and grandstand are
under way at Recreation I'arK ior in
rnmlnr season, and when they are
finished, the fans will De mum oene
cared for than in the past. The main
entrance Is to be enlarged by the cut
tlnr away of one of the stores on Va
lencla Btreet and the grandstand pat
rons will be separated from the bleach
erltes. thereby doing away wun in
Jams that were so frequent on big day-
last Summer.
Another thing that has been a good
deal of bother has been the draft that
would shoot up the entrances to the
srrandstand. These entrances are t
be boarded un In better fashion and
prdvided with swinging doors, so that
when the game is under way iney can
be closed and the draft practically
eliminated.
The director's box. that Is directly
under the press stand. Is being en
larged. and as it has been a cold spot,
the front is to be covered with plate
glass, of course protected by a wire
netting. This will make the directors
box worth while and you can be sure
that it will be liberally patronized on
cold days.
All box seats are to be reserved In
the future, during the week, as well
on Sundays. Men patrons of tbe
game have complained (nat on tree
days for the women they were not
able to get their favorite box seats.
In the future they can have them re
served the year around if that Is what
they want. ,
Four Veterans Still Outside.
At present writing the four San
Francisco veterans, Henley, Tennant,
Shaw and McArdle are still without the
fold. Long doesn't seem to be worry

they will be on hand when the time
comes. Tennant had a long talk with
Danny the other day but nothing came
of It- The red-haired boy admits th
he wants more money and says he
thinks that he is worth it.
Cornell and Carroll to Train Team.
The San Francisco club has closed a
deal by which Roger Cornell and Danny
Carroll will be trainers for the Seals
this season. The pair of them are run
nlng a private gymnasium in the city
and before It comes time for the club
to go .on Its spring training trip those
of the Seals who are in San Francisco
will have the use of the gym to get
Into shape.
Although Cornell and Carroll will not
be able to go to Modesto they will
send an assistant, and when the actual
baseball season is at hand they will
be on the bench along with the club.
O'XeiH Fixes Itinerary.
Tip O'Neill, after arranging practi
cally of the dates for the Red Sox trip
on the Coast left for the East last
Wednesday., First of all he will at
tend a schedule meeting of the West
ern League In Chicago and will then
go to Boston to act as dlrector-gen
eral of the Boston special. Boston pa
pers state that John I. Taylor has In
vlted the newspaper men, or rather the
baseball boys, to take the trip as his
guests, so It is a cinch that the Coast
League will come In for some healthy
advertising.
Jack Gleason Pitched Out.
Jack Gleason was tossed out as sec
retary and treasurer of the San Fran
cisco baseball club at a meeting of
the directors that was held this week
and Harry Walton, who has been
acting for two years as bookkeeper,
was named in his place. The directors
announced that as Gleason apparently
had quit San Francisco for keeps,
they concluded they might as well have
a secretary and treasurer who would
be on the Job. Walton Is an Oaklander
and an old-time ball player. He Is a
good man for the Job.
There has always been considerable
conjecture as to how much stock Glea
son holds in the San Francisco club,
but it is apparent from this action that
Tex Rickard's late partner, cannot be
overburdened with stock of the cor
poration. Oaks Get New Men.
Harry Wolverton Is still busy signing
up new men for the Oaks. The latest
information Is that he has closed a deal
with the Providence club of the East
ern League whereby he secured Out
fielder Hoffman. Wolverton says that
he thinks Hoffman will show up as the
best outfielder in the Coast League. He
has also secured the release of Out
fielder Red Bowser from the Chicago
White hox. Bowser hails from Flint,
in the South Michigan League, where
he was a teammate of Krapp. of Port
land. From all accounts Bowser la
slated to take the place of Ping Bodle
as a smasher-out of home runs. While
he shines chiefly at the bat, having an
average of .343 last season, he is said
to be a- fair fielder.
Bliss Goes in Training.
Jack Bliss, the St. Louis National's
catcher, who is spending the Winter at
his- home in Alameda, has gtme Into
