They're off to San Antonio, which is on the Mex horizon, only 40 miles inside prohibition. Right on the edge of an edge. Checker Champ Matty is in charge of the works, and it looks as if he laid the route out on a checker board. . -. The route lies through Albany, which is where the socialists don't go when they're elected to the assembly. Then through Buffalo, which Is where all the honeymoons end. It's a queer way to reach Texas, and the team might as well keep right on and play an exhibition game with the Alaska Indians, There are no openings in checkers that have it on this for a queer start.' After reaching Buffalo, the engineer turns the engine around atid heads for Texas. It's a big state, and he oughtn't miss it with any kind of break. Still, there's nrj law to handicap Matty from taking the team any where provided he keeps within organized base ball. If this were the Yanks, we could figure that Ban Johnson laid out the trip for 'em. The train is made up of 47 cars. Eighteen sleepers and the rest dining boats. That's one sleeper and two dining cars for each player. There are no Cubans on the trip this spring. The Cubes can't stand our 1920 dry climate. A Cube has to be oiled each day like a rubber pr1t Every kind of vegetation sprouts in Cuba's luxuriant climate ex cept a pump handle. The start was slightly gummed by two of the rooks getting in a scrap over the size of Grand Central station, which hides a square mile of ground. A lad from Terwilliger, Ind., claims the Terwilliger depot is bigger, if you count the grass plot in front of the station. Which sounds fair enough. , Teacher sails from Cjiba today and joins the class p San Antone. Eddie Brannick wears the Fire Chief's hat from here to Texas and sees that none of the boys play hookey from the dining car. That ain't a tough job, as a red ant don't need no invitation to a .picnic. X sasnsannsjsjsi There's a rumor that one base ball writer has a trunkload of rail road dice concealed in his baggage. Railroad dice arc sure wood alcohol every throw. They aren't any good on steamboats, but in a crowd you'd be sur,irised. A guy controlling railroad bones can raise the fare to 100 smackers a mile. He's the conductor and the engineer and nobody travels on half-fare. Don't hi" aurnriserl if vnu hear of the; RailrnaH aHmi'nretratinn mnv'ma out and B. Baer moving in.

Indeed, your first impression on viewing this car will be its ample size, its sturdy construc tion, itsjuxurious appointments and its over-generous seating and leg room. It presents an air of elegance and distinction that you will not ordinarily find in cars of its price. ' J A minute examination of its parts will reveal an assembly of units that are standard and every one of them used in many cars of higher price. CJ And more important still wjien you ride in this car, you will find that our designing engi neers have so combined these units as to produce an automobile of perfect poise and balance. CJ You. will find that it rides easier, moves freer, and shows more speed, power and pickup than any other automobile on the market, ejen though assembled from the same units, CJ And, of course, its lighter weight means lower up&eep expense.' The Huffman will appeal particularly to those who can appreciate $2,500.00 construction at $1,895.00. The Hoffman Six 130-inch Whetlbase Weigh 2,680 lbs.
