Successful Bast
Moor Trials.
NETVV TORK, June 11. "Sacrifice hitting
Is an art acquired perfectly only after
months and months of practice," says
Jimmy Bheckard of the Chicago Cubs, who
is an expert in that branch of the game.
"No player can walk out to the plate and
lay down a bunt which will advance an
other runner unless he has tried his skill
along that partloular line hundreds of
times. The big league today numbers more
successful sacrifice hitters than In any
previous season. All this goes to show the
growing tendency among managers to bol
ster up the 'Inside' forces of their clubs.
Many a ball game has been won with the
aid of a clean sacrifice nudging a runner,
or possibly two, around the base lines in
advance of a heavy hitter, who at the
proper moment comes through with the
needed single. But the champion long-dls
tance sacrifice story comes out of the
Southern league. Here it la;

made a statement recently regarding the

Edwin G. Baldwin of Boston, Maes., In
ventor of the Auto Guide, has evolved a
system which will solve the bug bear of
automobile touring. The Auto Guide is a
small aluminum cyllndor, which Is attached
to the steering column Just below the wheel
and In full view of the driver. It contains
route sheet which unrolls before the
driver, much like the film of a kodak, and
at night the route sheet Is Illuminated by
a small electric lamp which renders the
route to be followed as plain aa day, a
thing that cannot be done with the ordinary
guide book or map. In roniwtton with the
Auto Guide. Mr. Baldwin has evolrrd a
scheme by which the possessor of the Auto
Guide can purchase additional charts cov
ering every part of the country at gnraars,
news-stands, bookstores, hotels, etc., so
that the Auto Guide will be a complete
glossary of the roads and routes of the
country. Already a corps of two score of
trained men are touring the country In
Jackson cars, mapping and plotting out
the best available automobile routes, and
each week sees another section of the coun
try covered.
"In a recent endurance run over the
'Panta Fe trail' from Hutchinson, Kan.,
to Pen bio, Colo., and back," said Smith,
"J. B. Young of Lyons, Kan., made a per
fect score with a twenty-eight horsepower
Franklin motor car. The entire round trip
of 835 miles waa made without using a tool
of any kind on the motor car. From Lyons
to Hutchinson, a distance of about thirty
miles, and from there to Peublo the air
cooled motor ran without stop, the Journey
being made on a schedule ot about twenty
miles an hour."
"About the most Interesting event now
with the Overland people," said Henry H.
Van Brunt, "Is the famous tour of Miss
Blanch Stuart Scott from New York to
San Francisco m an Overland."
"A handy and useful article for all auto
mobillsts who tour, Is a compass which can
be affixed either on the dash or on the
steering wheel out of harm's way," said
E. P. Blake ot Boston, Mass., who re
cently made the 1,600 miles between Jack
son, Mich., and Bangor, Me., In the Jack
son Mud Hen without stopping the engine
In 122 hours of continuous driving. "It often
happens that in traveling a winding road
one soon loses all Idea of the actual dlreo
tlon ho Is goln, and a turn Incorrectly
made may bring hlin far off Ills course
and thus cause him to lore considerable
time.
"Thono who habitually use It find the
compass a very valuable addition to the
motorist's equipment."
Gould said: "One of the unfortunate oc
currences during the New Jersey RelhtfMt
Ity a mo test which took place the lMh ot
the month, was an. accldsnt between one
of the contestants In the race, a Kohler
"40" touring car and a light-weight Ford
car. The slight amount of damage Inflicted
on the smaller rur Is remarkable in com
paring the relative weights of the two cars,
and to vanadium steel alone can the Ford
car lay ita safety. The accident occurred
Just outside of the town ot Elisabeth, N.
J., while the Kohler "40" was speeding Its
wsy toward Rah way, N. J. Turning out
from behind a view-hiding delivery wagon,
the Ford ran head on Into the heavy "40.
The wheels, radiators and lamps on tha
cars were smashed while the front axle on
the Kohler was badly twisted and the car
turned completely on Its side. The vana
dium axle on the Ford car was only
slightly bent Had the construction ot tne
light car been of anything but vanadium
steel, thore la no doubt but that there
would have been loss of life In the crash.
In reporting the accident, the New York
American said In part:
" The heavy '40 was completely crumpted
to a mass of scrap Iron by the Impact wtth

That the little model 'T' Ford stood the
