Special.) Sunday morning will see the
-n Francisco S-als off on their train
ing; trip to MuUxto. By starting- this
arly on their training trip, the locals
enjoy the distinction of belnt; the first
club in the L'nlted Statrs to set into
training, of either major or minor
leaeue. Most of the other clubs in
the Coast Lmcu. as a matter of fact,
will wait another week before a-ettlna;
down to the irrlnd, but Lou is anxious
to glTe his men a few days In the
country and as the series with the Ited
Sol will start March 3, he has no time
to lone.
Players are a-ettins; In errry day and
while It Is Impossible at the preset)
wrltina to see Just who wilt be on hand
when the feals leave San Francisco,
the chances are that but few of Uiem
will be mlsalna-.
Tom Tennant. the red-headed firs
ba.eman. came to terms this week,
which leaves one less of the holdouts.
When I am wrttins; this. Clarence Hen
ley had not aliened up. although the
chances are itood that he will be with
the club at Modesto. Koyal Fhaw of
Yakima has not been heard from, and
It Is not known whether he has de
elded to Join the club at the com
mencernent of the season or take I
vacation. H- wanted to report late In
March, but 1'snny Lnnx told him that
he would hare to be on band with the
other players.
Just what sort of a Ram L-onfr I
playing- with Harry McArdle. no one
seems to know. The eacuse that he
didn't know McArdle's address will
hardly hold water. Personally.
think that Lonic wants to discipline
McArdle and put the shortstop In
position where he will behave himself.
When McArdle Is perched up on the
water wason there Is no faster In
flelder In the league. The boys from
the Mouth bring- the report that Mc
Ardle has not been touching llluor
and that he Is In splendid shape. In?
said the other day that he wouldn't
think of turning- McArdle over to Nick
Williams, which probably means that
he want, to keep him. McArdle thinks
he has not been treated the right way.
but believes ha will land with the re
mainder of the crew down the valley.
There was a bit of humor In the
slKnlns up of Tom Tennant. He has
been allowing- up at Intervals at the
ball pirk. but the other day. following
an announcement from Long that he
had slaned a chap named Harris, a
soldier first baseman from the lre-
idlo. Tennant was more attentive than
ever.
He showed up at Recreation Park
for two days hand running and then
came the word that he had aliened.
Tennant also said that his agreement
was In the nature of a compromise and
that he had received part of the ad
vance in salary that he demanded.
"Did Tennant say so?" questioned
Ixnc when he was asked about the
financial feature. "Well. If It suits
Tom. let It go at that.
There Is no mistaking, however, that
the fans are considerable relieved that
Tennant has come to terms. He was
of t r eat strength to the locals last
season and would be missed around
that first sack.

The new Inflrlders Include George
Weaver from Stowc. Pa., and Robert

San Francisco. The only chance for
the pair nf them Is shortstop. With
Tennant at first. Kid Mohler at second
and (.wear Vltt a fixture at third, there
Isn't much open. And McArdle. If he
will lake care of himself, will give
them a battle at short.
Nobody knows whether llartman

lest year, but kept putting off the duty
of reporting. This year Jie wrote to
1-ong that he wanted to come West.

The scheme of putting plate glass In
front of the directors" box st Recrea
tion Park has been abandoned. It
looke. to be a fine scheme because it
would keep out the chill San Fran
cisco winds. Suddenly a woman put a
stop to the scheme by asking how the
fans would like being cooped up be
hind the glass where they couldn't hear
the noise and couldn't talk to the play
ers or urge on their favorite club. Cal
F.wtng hadn't thought of that end of
the proposition, but confessed there
was much to the argument. Accord
ingly there will be no plate glass.

Ionaldson. the American, and

his way back he says he will
throw his spiked shoes Into the

legiate champion and went to
the Olympic gamea under Murphy.
He made a bad showing because
he had been suffering from boils
during his training. After his
Olympic fallurs he decided to go
In for professional sprinting, and
his first race was with A. F.
Postle In England. He won from
him easily by four yards, though
the odds were & to 1 against him.
He la now the world's champion.

Portland wins out. That's all there Is
to it and the less said the better.
don't know how the baseball authori
ties feel, but I do not Imagine that
there will be anything more come from
the officials by way of appeal. There
Isn't anything to be gained by It.
There Is some good news for the
Portland fans concerning Tommy Shee

are rounding Into good shape and of
Sheehan It is snld that his throwing
arm Is remarkably fit. Tom Tennant,
ho has seen Sheehan In a number of

In 24 Hours Everyone in the United States
Will be Talking: About This Advertisement
Because This is The First 1912 Car to be Announced,
It is setting a new pace for automobile manufacturers and dealers The Regal
leads this year.
Because This is the first of a series of advertisements that will be published,
'simultaneously in over 450 cities in the United States and will be read by
millions of people, and will contain valuable information about the automobile
never before disclosed to the public almost unbelievable but true.
Ereryone knows that the automobile business has had a
mushroom growth and that the average automobile factory
has presented a scene not unlike that in a newspaper office
just before the paper goes to press. It has had all of the
wild excitement all of the feverish haste and all of that
disregard for expense that always accompanies any rapid
development. High-priced automobiles were the result.
31t owmti paid th bill.
We have for a long time been studying this problem. We
wanted to eliminate the most important faults in the auto
mobile manufacturing institution of today. We found sev
eral sources of waste. First an immature design, and sec
ond an immature and' hasty method wf manufacture; third
and most important, an extravagant overhead expense. All
of these we knew to be abnormal and consequently we set
about to correct them. We believed that our success in
the motor vehicle industry as in others in which we have
engaged, laid ia giving our cnstomea the best value and
service we could for their money.
For five years we have been studying the automobile
conditions in the United States through all of our repre
sentatives, we have received daily reports. We know for -a
fact what the real conditions are today. Consequently
the cars which we have, designed and are manufacturing
and selling, we know from actual canvass of the owners
and prospective owners are what the people want.
Everyone wants the most up-to-date . design the best
workmanship the most value for his money and a guar
antee of good service after the car is in his hands.

The Regal "20" is the first underslung car which, has ever '
been sold for less than $4,000. The nndersJung construc

Most manufacturers, like most individuals, don't like to
adopt new things unless they are forced to. We have
taken the lead because we know that ultimately, cas of
this type will embody this construction.

Because The Regal "20" at $900 is without competition. No other car equal
to this has been produced at the price.
Because This advertisement contains news about an organization which
up-to-date has been conservative in exploiting its products until it was sure
it was right and had the capacity and organization to satisfactorily and per
sistently care for the demands of its customers. '

We are satisfied that in this series of advertisements we
shall be able to prove to you conclusively the truth of
these statements. We are the first to make an announce

aboo designing and testing for over two years a car
which we know represents the most modern engineering
and manufacturing practices a car which in value has
never been equaled either at borne or abroad. It is in all
respects the result of a knowledge which we have gained
from actual experience.
We have always been the pioneers- in setting the price

Ve vVia a wrtl-knovn trade paper says about under
slung suspension Motor World, Jan. 26 "Probably the
greatest arguments wmcn can De aavancca in uvui ui
underhung suspension, aside from the attractive appear
ance it presents, are the low center of gravity and large
wheels which are made possible. Underhanging also elim
inates to a great extent the tendency to sidesway by
reason of the fact that the bolk of the weiarht of the car
corners almost m the same plane as the springs which can
have no appreciable lateral movement. The adoption of

CHICACO. Fb. lit.. iSpccIa!.) Al
though John Kline, ths Cubs' famoua
catcher, did not play up to his best form
In the world's series Inst Fall, he still
rrcrlves credit for knowing all of th
fine points behind the bat. Kilns; was
asked the other day to jtlve a talk on
the scientific methods employed In base
ball, and this Is what he said:
"When I waa a pitcher In semi-professional
teams around Kansas City, I lot
msny games by trying to do too much,
by throwing too often and by wearing
myself out by wasted efforts. I was a
failure as a baseball player In several
towns before experience taught me that
one pray at the right Instant is worth
10 at any other time. It mas the old
stltch-ln-time-to-aave-nlne Idea, but it
did more for ma than anything else to
win games and to bring ine up In the
profession.
"When I began catching one of the
first things I learned was that the
catcher ran break up a team quicker
than any one else can. lie need not
even make an error to do It. One of the
easiest ways to lose a. game Is for the
catcher to throw too much. He may
throw perfectly, and yet. by keeping
the Infield moving and out of position,
expecting his throws and studying him.
Instead of wstchlng the batter, he may
cause the game to be lost.
"My idea has been to muke plays when
they count and not to use too many sig
nals. The inflelders have a lot to watch
and If the catcher keeps them watching
him ail the time he takes their mlnrts
off their other duties and causes them
to make blunders.
"First and moremost In Importance in
winning Is that the catcher never shall
make or attempt to make any play, es
pecially a throw, unless absolutely cer
tain that the other men in the play have
caught th signal, understand wbax ia
to be attempted and are prepared to
make the pluy with him.
"There comes a time in almost every
ball game when the opposing team has
a good chance to win by scoring a lot
of runs In a bunch. The inning In which
that happens is the one in which the
catcher ought to pull off his play. In
such a situation, when a team is having
a batting rally, it is twice as easy for a
catcher to catch men off bases by fast
throws than it Is at any other stage of
the contest.
"The team that Is rallying and sees
vlctorv almost in hand, always is ex
Ideal tires are

cited, and the base - runners take more
liberties, longer leads and lose their
heads quicker than at any other time.
Excitement robs them of their natural
caution, and the catcher who keeps cool
and keeps thinking, can catch runners
off their bases frequently and perhaps
break up a winning rally and save the
game.
"The Cubs have done that many times
and It helped them win pennants. I am
not claiming I won' close games. Con
fidence In each other is one of the big
elements in winning games. -The catcher
who doee not have confidence in his in
field is afraid to throw, and . when he
does throw he throws timidly.
"A bad first baseman, or one in whom
the others have no confidence, jnakes
bad throwers of all. I believe in helping
umpires and doing all I can to make
their work easier. If they are let alone
and not nagged at, their work is much
more aatinfactory. I am not put out of
ball games. I take as much Interest as
anybody, but I cannot see the use of
kicking on decisions."
