Iuln Cardinals within the next few day. It la ntated that Larry Doyle, Pave 1'oh ertson and'a lot of cash will be given to Drancli Hlckey It Hornsby comes to thla city. According to tho dope, the (.limits' Infield thla summer will bn composed of Hal Chase, first baee i Heine Zlmmer- I man, second base : Art Metcher, short- i stop, and Rogers Hornsby, third base Charles Stoneham, who now Is In the far West on business, stopped off In St, Louis en routs and virtually settled the deal whereby Hornsby will report here. The actual signing of papers, however. Is to be done some time this week, when Rickey will nrrle here The shifting of Zimmerman to second will surely suit the Hronx fence-buster. Heinle has been clamoring to get away from third base for some time, and probably feels that the shift to the key stone Back will do blm a lot of good Hornsby does not play a ball any too cleanly. He has a bad habit of fumbling momentarily, but Is exceed ingly fast In recovering. Ho hnB a Breat arm and his ability to whip the ball across to first with lightning speed offsets this one fault. With tho shorter throw from third ho naturally would have more opportunity to retire the batter. An Infield of Chase, Zimmerman, Fletcher and Hornsby undoubtedly would be the greatest defensive quarlet since the dayB of Tcnney, Lowe, Hong and Collins, And what a swatting bunch It would be, too. Just tako what these lads swatted last year Chase, .301 ; .Zimmerman, .272; Hetcticr, .-uj Hornsby, .281. TWO DOUBLE tHAMPlONS Murchison and Taylor Hold Two Track Titles New York. March 10.

Scraps About Scrappers JD the National Saturday night when he .stopped three bouts to prevent knock outs. Ordinarily, the fans would object strenuously to such procedure, but the ' bouts were so one-sided and the losers In such bad shape that "Pop" was ap plauded Instead of Jeered. Incidentally the veteran referee established a record. The first bout was one of those topsy turvy affairs with both boys on the verge of a knockout. First. Jack Lester hit Jimmy .Myron on the chin and sent him down for the count. AVhlle he was congratulating himself on his good work Jimmy hit Jack on the whiskers and he. too, took the count In the second round Myson had Lester ready tc, take the final drive when O'Brien called a halt, Eddie Trembley had Otto Hughes In bad shape in the fourth round of tho second bout and Pop chased them froi tho ring. Trembley looks like a good boxer and should be seen again. In the other short battle, Frankle nice, of Baltimore, slammed Pete Howell all over the ring and was told to go to his corner In tho middle of the second round. O'Brien Is a good referee, uses excel lent Judgment, and other ring officials should follow his example. George Chaney defeated Tim Droney In the wind-up because Tim did not have the. nerve to carry tho tight. He was on the defensive most of the time and allowed tho Baltimore boy to pllo up a 1IE lead.

A demonstration will show even greater performance than your expectations. When you drive in trafnc,.never shifting a gear or never lipping the clutch, you will realize its unusual flexibility. It Is only when you tfy the hardest hills on high without straining the motor in the slightest degree that you can believe its wonderful hill-climbing ability.
