And now H Is suggested that Comlakey
made a mistake when he gave up his
place aa bench manager and deputed tj
another the field management of his team.
Not atopping to queatlon the fact that the
Old Rom&n la a better manager than any
ha could employ, there Is still argument
against the wisdom of his maintaining hi
position on the bench of hi team. In the
first place, dignity has soma claim on team
ownera. and the clalma must be violated
If a man of Comlakey s posh Ion in'the base
ball world Is to occupy no higher place
than bench manager of hi own club.
While Billy Sullivan will be an experi
ment as successor to Fielder Jones for a
while. It Is quit probable that with the
aid of Comlakey 'he will make aa good a
manager a Jonea in time, and a very ahort
time. Jonea did not look beyond hi own
Interest in deciding to quit the team at
thla time, and he certainly was not taking

W may aa well be frank enough to ay
tht It 4s too early even yet to pass final
Judgment upon the Omaha team of 19u.
There are ao many new player who have
not had th opportunity of ahowlnk their

timed and premature. Some of the new
ones look quite strong at time; other do

better than last year. But three of thf.

and the very three whose pi nee will be

worrying. It expects to go in and make a

CREWS NOW IN THE LIMELIGHT

Tralalag Vale Likely t
Be Strong.
The houbot or barge which the Co
lumbia crew 1 ulng for It training ap
peal to other college 'an improvement
Worth while trying at Foughkeepsle. It Is
understood that Pennsylvania now I at
work on design for such a barge ss will
be sble to go through the Rarltan canal
and thus can he towed from Philadelphia
to Poughkeepale. When Columbia took the
houacboat up there last year one of the
c6che remarked aneerlngly: "Well, It's
all right fur them as like It," but sppsr
ently they have begun to see what a sav
ing It Is snd how many advantage such
training quartera prearnt.
The Navy crew had a houseboat at
Poughkeepale in 1MT. This was the Ever
glades, Owned by Colonel Robert M. Thomp
son, a very luxurious boat, which he used
for the convenience of his friends on fish
ing trips in Florida and on other orcaalons.
The Navy, with thl houseboat moored
at Kruni Klhow. hd a very fine, and de
lightful place In which to train. It was
alwaya cool at night and there was never
any difficulty about getting onto the water,
nor wa It necesatry to make any long
climb up Into the hili to get to the train
ing quartera.
The Navy, however, did nut have as ad
vantageoua a layout aa doe Columbia be
cause the Columbia houaeboat Is so ar
ranged that the shells are stacked on the
main deck and the living quarters and com
missary are on the flour above. It may
be as well here to point out a variance In
naval nomenclature. No one appears to
have established any atandard for house
boats as to whether the successive floor
above the water ahall be called decks or
lofts.
Having this houseboat st Poughkeeptie
last year aaved the Columbia crew many
annoyances, but chiefly was It a natter of
reducing expense. The Initial cost oftii
boat and outfitting It had to be charged
Hgalnat the exorbitant Sums aaked by the
real estate owner In and around Pough
keepale for the use of their property for
the limited time the crewa are training
near the scene of the regatta. It haa been
remarked often before that the real estate.
roiK setae upon thl opportunity -once
year to get all they can out of the crewa
which visit Pougnkeepsl. I
.Talk of Marias; to MUtoa.
At one time this rapaclousness gave rise
to reports that th regatta might be moved
down the river to Milton, where the col
leges were asaured of as good a course and
of redixed retes for living acoommodatlona.
However this never came to pas because
each. yer,. aftr considerable atruggles. the
college yielded to the people who are try
ing to- make .money on the one occasion
that prefent Iteelf. Cornel 'recently had
come difficulties about Oake.i the plat
at Highland, where the Ithaca crtwa are
quartered, a very large house which ta
rented st considerable expenee.
Pennaylvanla also has been In difficul
ties regarding a proper place to train, and
it is probably for thl reason that the
Quakers sre most esger to get hojseboat
such a Columbia ha. The (Sving by the
dy In rent for the crew Is reslly remaik
uble, and in a training period of thirty day
It la atfe to sy It make a difference f
nearly l,800. The oarsmen have all -they
need right on the houseboat There Is it
galley and dining room, the food ta pre
pared and eaten right on board the boat.
Down below are theracka on which th
hell are placed and there ia nothing but
a walk down a few atep to get to the
hell. They ;an launch Ihem from th
float In front of the boathouae, and there
they are all right.
Aa the Columbia houaeboat last year was
moored at th one-mile mark of the course
arlt wa then It was a very good point
also for observation, and It is very likely
that little went on along the river that
wa not noticed hy thoae who were in
charge of the Columbia crews. This also
is a very valuable thing, but It la not In
cluded In the financial aavlng on the hojse
bpat. There is, furthermore, th very treat
advantage that there seems always to b
a hieese atirrlng down by the water and
It la recorded that the Columbia crewa
alept under blankeia every even'ng through
out their training period at Poughkeepale
laat year.
A ale romlaar MroaT.
Furthermore, whether this be Coach
Rice's good Judgment of the geographical
surroundings, the oarsmen all gained
weight In their training. This, considering
th fact that I hey are working rather
hard In the warm season of the year,
apeaka very well for the system empleyed.
At any event, If more and mora of the
college can make uae of houaeboat It
will be found to save a great deal of money
and will gradually make th regatta as
Independent of Poughkeepila as Pough
keepale toss become Independent of It. Inter
est In the city of Poughkerpsle itself haa
been -flagging; and decreasing proportion
ately each year, so that really regttta day
'up there la the only one that mean any
thing at all to th city, and not very much
at that. It meana a little lncreaae In trad
la the reataurame and a temporary excite
ment, probably among the yoi.tiger and
more susceptible paraon of the city, bji
otherwise the regatta mean very little a
far aa Pougiikeepaie la concerned. If the
crewa generally could Adopt thla houseboat
system they would rease to contribute
greatly to Poughkeepaie and would be able
at any time ia move away and to eatabllsn
a regatta eleheie. Tbia would be a sort
of an advantage.

NSW YORK, April I.-There i an in
creasing tendency toward home rule In
automobile evenla among clubs In both
the east and west and on the part of In
dividual iromotera. While it is admitted
that a strong national organization, con
trolling and advancing motor car lnter
esls. Is most desirable, yet Individuals and
associations who invent their time and
money In making certain toura, racea, hill
climbs or other even's feel that they con
form to local condition and ahould not be
hampered by too much Authority. This
tendency waa ahown by the Florida Kant
COast Automobile aasoclatlon, under whose
patronage th racea were recently held on
the beach at Daytona.
The Harrlsburg club alao ; resolved to
carry out ita endurance run upder Its own

Why the Ford Car Is Superior to Other Cars
HORSE POWER HAS XO SIGNIFICANCE except as related to the load It carries. A mule hauling
a light delivery ia stronger than a down teams trying to pull a freight train. Just so a 30 h. p. engine in
a"2,600 lb. car has less actual power than a 20 h. p In the Model "T" Ford. There is more horsepower
per unit of weight in the Model "T" than In any 30 h. p. car on the market, 1-2-3 h. p. per 100 pounds.
TIKES ARE RELATIVELY LARGE only as one considers the load they must tarry. Put a ten-inch
pnuematlc tire on a steam roller and it would be small. It's the same with an automobile. 32-Inch wheels
with 3-inch and 4-inch tires are actually lesa effectively tired than Model "T". With 2.33 cubic inciiws
of tire for every pound of car weight, the Model "T" haa the largest tires of any car manufactured.
1 WEIGHT IS NOT A COMPARATIVE TERM indicative of strength except when the articles compared
sre of identical materials. Oak Is stronger than pine, Vanadium steel is tougher than nickel steel and the
1,200 pound Vanadium Steel Ford Car is actually auperlor to its 3,000 pound rival entirely because of th
superiority of the materials used. I
LIGHTWEIGHT ISN'T GUESS WORK it'a the result of brains. Every pound of weight that
Henry Ford has subtracted from hitherto accepted weight standards has been the result of years of study
and research. Not that he has a monopoly on brains, simply that the other fellows have nol been UliertP.i
towards weight reduction. . ,
LIGHTWEIGHT IS NOT A COST REUl'CER. Cars are not sold at so much per pound. Light wcljt'.U
costs money the lighter, the more expensive to design and build. Commodore Vanderbilt once offered it
wagon maker 11.000,000 for each pound he could reduce the weight without affecting the quality of a
spring wagon. It took brains and Vanderbilt always paid a high price for brain products. He paid $1.
000 for the buggy, and it started him on a plan for weight reduction In locomotives.
THE IU VING PUBLIC GETS THE BENEFIT. Every pound off the weight of the car cuts down
the gasoline bill, cuts down the tire bill, cuta down the repalh bill. That's why the Ford will travel more
miles for less money than any other touring car ever built, 22 to 25 miles per gallon or gasoline, 10,000
miles and more on a set of tires and the renewals then at a less price less monthly maintenance. In no
other car can you match this.
THE ARGUMENT IS ADVANCED that the light weight Isn't heavy enough to stand tin. That's com
petition groping after a life preserver. Any man buying a Ford Is secure in challenging any tar to travel '
as many miles with as large a load and as little trouble aa will the Model "T".
THE EASIEST RIDING CAR EVER manufactured there Isn't a car built that will equal l:s regu
lar every day performance. ,
WHILE THE PRICE IS THE LOWEST ever named for a touring car, we do not rely on pi ke to soli
the car. The Model "T" will sell against any car offered, even though the price be made the same. The
price is merely an incident made possible by enormous production with waste and extravagance eliminated,
smaller commissions, smaller profits and a hundred and one other things that, serve to raise trie prices on
other cars.
