Benny appeared nt the pinto four time-
and twlco had a chance to break up tlio
ball (tamo by ilrMiiB the pill a mile, lit
tho llrst Inntntf. with two on, ho lilt al
most a mile straight up In the nlr, but tho
ball enmo down to earth In tho outfield
and a iiinnor scored from third. In tho
eighth another opportunity presented Itself,
but all Violet could do was to force a run
ner at second Tho other two drives wore
toward tho renlth ntirt tho anti-aircraft
Bhots fell Into a Mills' outstretched mitt.
But Kauft did not explode on the open
ing" day. He more than made tip for hH
poor work with tho stick by his actions
In tho outfield. Ho only had two chancel,
but ho plnjcd them as welt ni Ty Cobb.
In tho third inning ho ran In and grabbed
Ludorus' suro double beforo It hit tho
ground, nnd In tho sixth he fielded Bums'
lilt perfectly and fired tho ball homo with
such deadly aim that NlchofC was out by
a mile.
It must bo remembered that KnufC novcr
'has seen tho I'hllt In action, and he played
his position by instinct,-or according to
Instructions fiom McGraw. it it was by
Instinct, Benny suicly Is a wonder, and If
ho followed instructions, It rhows tli.it ho
Is tv good soldier nnd obeys orders without

Benny showed speed on tho bases. IIo

Kauft will run into wpjalls from now

MACK TO WORK
CROWELL IN BOX
AGAINST BOSTON
Brown University Lad and
Shore May Be Opposing
Mounders Today
By CHANDLER I). KICHTEIt
BOSTON, Mass., April 13 AltlioUBli
beaten by tlio Itc Sox In tho opening
game of tlio season jcstcnlny, tho Ath
letics nro n much more confident nBSreKti
tlon of ball tosscrs today. Tho general
work of tho team yesterday was IiIrIi cIns-,
thoURh erratic fielding by tho Mnckmcn
nnd a largo nmotint of luck gave tho
world's champions n victory. Tho most
pleasing feature of tlio contest was tho
Rnmo fight mado by the losers, nnd It is
not likely that somo of tho exhibitions of
"tiulttlng" in 191B wilt bo repented this
j ear.
Stnnagcr Stack was plensed greatly with
tho work of tho team, nnd particularly
happy over tho work ot Jack Nabors, the.
lanky Georgian, who tmJcd tho game on
tho mound. Connlo says ho Is confident
that tha teim will como fast now nnd
looks for n victory this nftcrnoon,
Whllo Mack never announces and
claims ho does not know who will ba
tho pitcher until game time, It Is likely
that "Ml" Crowoll, tho big recruit from
Brown University, will oppose Boston this
nftcrnoon, whllo Hrnle Shore, ono of tho
lied Sox's stars of tho world series with
tho Phillies, will be on the mound for Bos
ton, Manager Carrlgan Intended to Bend
Shoro Into tha box yesterday, but tlio
lanky Carolinian could not warm up well
In tho wintry w Ind. As It Is much warmer
today nnd tho sky It clear, It Is reason
ably certain that Shore will pitch, as
Foster, tho only other ellgblo veteran,
pitched enough yesterday In warming up
and In tho gnmo to spoil him for today,
It Is poslblo that Manager Mack will
send "Whltcy" Witt into tho gamo today,
If Shoro pitches, ni Crano does not relish
facing n pitcher of Shore's type, nnd bo
causo Witt ! a left-hanilcd hitter. Mnck
Is sorely tempted to depart from his usual
custom of keeping recruits on tho bench
and to send Witt Into tho gamo regularly,
regardless of tho pitcher.
Green Paint and Music
Get on Nerves of Fans
CHICAGO, April 13. After tho
openinp gnmo between tho White
Sox nnd Detroit hero hundreds of
patrons complained to Charles
Comlskey, president of the local
club, that their clothes had been
daubed with green paint from
newly renovated Bents in the stand.
The pntrons explained that they
did not mind having their clothes
spoiled so much ns the fact that
during tho latter part of tho gamo
tho band Insisted on playing "Tho
Wearing 6f tho Green."

INJURY TO KEEP
SCHANG ON SIDE
Athletics Will Be Handi
capped Greatly by Loss
of Veteran Catcher
BOSTON', Mans, April IS. Wally
Schang, tho only vctcrnn catcher of tho
Mackmcii, nnd ono of tho mainstays of
tho team, both on tho defense nnd of
fense, will be out of tho gamo for at
least two weeks, nccordlng to Doctor Cas
tle, the trainer. Schang wan hit with a
foul tip yosterdny and his hand vvns split
badly between tho small nnd third right
finger.
The accident to Schnng Is unfortunate,
coming nt this time, a Manager Mack
did not want to put tho catching burden
entirely upon the MiouMers of young Bill
Meyer until the season wiw well trader
way
With Schang crippled" It will bo neces
sary to keep Meyer In the game nvery
day, ns BUI Murphy's arm Is still trohbllnir
him. Schnng'a nceldent was one which
could not Bo averted nnd ono which Is
likely to occur nt nny time.
Irfist season Schang was on tho crip
pled list a great deal because, he took too
many chances and apparently laid himself
open to Injury. That was ono of the
reasons Manager Mack had for trying to
develop him Into n, third baseman or out
fielder, ns ho believed that frequent In
juries would surely slow down tho bulky
receiver.
Schang wilt return to Philadelphia to
day. Tlio enforced lay-off wilt hold, him
back n great deal, as he needs a, lot of
work to be right.

A
Quality Fhsg
This 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers Will Last Any Man 5 Years or More
She hasn't a weakness. And the sturdiest part,
of her anatomy is her 3400 r. p. m. engine.
Now there has been a lot of talk about 8400.
I find some of my prospects comejn here a little bit
doubtful about 3400.
They have been told by my contemporaries that
an engine turning up 8400 r. p. m. is doomed to
short existence.
That's absurd. Why, there are at least three cars
in America that do 8100 r. p. m. or better. Ten
years ago in Europe there were cars that did 4000
r. p. m.
Take the electric fan. It does around 4000. A
turbine reaches about 4300.
Now, the argument set forth against 8400 is the
'wear and tear on bearings."
How ridiculous I
Of course, if we had an old-fashioned engine
with heavy iron pistons and arm-and-hammer type
of connecting rods then, to be sure, I'd have
little to say.
But, to the contrary, this is a very modern engine.
The pistons are aluminum, which cost a whole lot
more, but weigh a whole lot less.
Then the connecting rods are much lighter.
That takes a lot of weight off the beanngs, and
permits about 500 r. p. m. more engine SReed.
That isn't a very big increase, I know, but it's.
just enough to make a very foxy, silken affair in
action.
And then, too, in traveling 10 miles an hour
her engine speed is only 500 r. p. m. At 20 she
turns up 1000. At 30, 1500.
How often do you travel faster than 30?
So unless you want to sink the little button to
the floor board and hold her there all day, you're
not using 8400 r. p. m. all the time.
I hope none of my friends will swallow whole
any story deriding 8400.
Vou know you will always find the largest
number of elubs under the best apple tree in the
orchard.
This car has doubled my sales.
As Mr. Post says, "There's a reason.
One little ride and you will want to pass up
your old gondola.
Ask me about our service inspection coupons.
They are negotiable with all Chalmers dealers every
where. This system is an important consideration,
in buying your car.
