?E!V BITS OF SPORT Hugh McBreen to Buy interest in the Jersey City Club. DATES FOR THE GIANTS "Red" Dooin Under Contract to Manage the Phillies for Two Years. Hugh M-B-4X n, former treasurer of the Boston R'-.i Sox. is planning to buy an ln tsreet in the Jersey City club ?if the newly named lTit.inatiori.tl League, nnd. In all probability, the transfer of stock will be made to-day. He has m id I arrangements to purchase the half totsresl gow owned by James T. UlUs, former Burrogate of Jer .*ltv. tor *_-f-0 Thla will gtVe Mr. Llllis a profit of 5.,.'???. aa ho took over the Btock. with hi.? nephew, about a year ago, for y-./NH?, from th.- ?state of the late Fob Davis. James J. Ltt-s. the nephew, will retain liis holdings, which carry the con? trol ?>f the dub, and will be re-elected president. ? Mr. McHreen lost his position with the Red Pox when John I. Taylor aold a half interest In the ?Boston club to Jim McAleer. ItSSt >*< <?r m mager of the Washington ?Sen? ators, and hi? associates. If McHreen com? pletes the deal he will serve as vice-presi? dent and treasurer. With Harry Schlufiy at the helm a. man? ager and the Injection of other new Hood. the Skeetere are likely to be more promi? nent In the penn-u;t ?ace next season than has been the caso In recent years. Joe CVBrlen. the new secretary and man? aging director of the New York Giants, Is hard at work rearranging the schedule of spring exhibition games, made necessary by tho decision to open the pennant race on April 11. Arrangements were made yester? day for the Giants to play two games In Washington, on April 2 and 8. and two in Baltimore, on April 4 and 6, with the Orioles. From the latter city the team will Jump to the Polo Grounds for the annual meeting with Yale on Saturday. April g The full schedule of games from the time the players break camp at Marlln Springs wlll be announoed In a day or two. It turns out that "Red" Dooin has signed a contract to manage the Phillies for two year?, and while the terms have not been made public the story goes that the brainy catcher will be one of the b?-at paid players In baseball. Dooin Is In Columbus, Ohio, this woek, but will wind up his theatrical engagements after appearing In Pittsburgh and Syracuse. Several players who were secured from the minors have already been released to various clubs for further development, but the Phillies have a lot more men than will be carried, and Dooin will spend some of his spare time between ehows weeding out the surplus. Nearly all of the old men have been signed. Alexander, Chalmers, Pa.kert, i Luderus and one or two others have not J accepted terms, but Dooin declares that he does not anticipate any trouble sluing any of the men on the list. About thlrty-llvo players will be taken on tho training trip. This list will Include about sixteen pitchers. Among the lot are three or four left h'antk-rs, who are ex peend to add considerable strength to tho pitching staff, and this Is the reason Burns waa allowed to go. The Phillies will leave Philadelphia about February 24 for West Baden, Ind.. where they will remain about four days to get the benefit of the water. From there they' will go to Hot Springs, Ark., to put on the ?hnlshlng touches. Jim McAleer, the new manager of the Boston Red Box, in talking of his plans for tho coming season. Is quoted as saying: I have ween Jake Stahl several times within the last few months. He Is a little heavy, but this superfluous flesh can easily be worked off. Staid told me that he had played ball about throe ?lays every we? k throughout the summer, so that he will not be a "come back," for he really has been In the game. Stahl Is very anxious to have a winner, arid h<> will no doubt be a great help at first base. Anyway, 1 will have Bradley and Foumler aa a-splranfs for the Initial sack. Fuurnler is from Victoria O? the Northwest League. Bradley is a good man and he will get every chance. Four .-der comes well recom? mended. He nit like a house afire in the Northw?-?t. and it .s possible that he will do as well for us. There is no reason why the dub with Stahl at the head cannot be a winner. As he will so South much earlier than tho other players, he will no doubt put in an appearance at the Ea?*t ' man, In Hot Springs, ready for action when the others arrive. I released Wilbur Roach, the shortstop who formerly was with tho New York Highlanders, to Jersey ?*lty. He was pur? chased by John I. Taylor from J?-rscy City last fall, hut as I see no need of him have l.-t him go back to the Skeeters. John R. Heall. an out_M_cr, s.-cured from 1-,-nver, ha_ also be?.n turned back.

Carl H. Page & Company recently sold j a Chalmers "30" to a man who has only ; three miles of road on which to drive hla car. And though the cost of the car in Now York was only $1.600. It cost the buyer ?*_,#k0 to have It transported to his home. "Mounds?well, bllghtly strong," eom BSsnted :_r. Page, "but It la absolutely true. The gentleman who purchased this car was a Spaniard from Colombia. South America. He actually paid more than '$1.800 to ship his car home. When he gets there he has only three miles of roads over which It Is possible to drive an automobile, and two of those miles of road he built himself. And yet some of us like to complain of the road conditions In New York. I wonder how many of us would travel several thou? sand miles to buy a car If wa had only three miles of road on which to drive it." AUTOMOBILES. "?J0C, Recognized Efficiency and Comfort.

CORNELL MAKES CHANGE Decides to Get Outside Help in Building Football Team. [By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. 8.?In an announce? ment made to-day. which has caused con? siderable discussion and Ejaculation among the -undergraduates, tho athletic council of Cornell University ma<ie public for the first time Its attitude toward the coaching system of tha football team in the follow? ing form: "It ia tha ?jentlmcnt of this council, whl?*h dcslrea that such sentiment be. cnnvcved H? the field committee on football and the football committee of this council, tliat outside aid be set ured next season in the coaching of the eleven." Just what methods would be the best to pursue In order to remedy the deficiency in football at Cornell has caused much anx? iety In the minds of those in charge of athletics here since the end of the last sea? son, and frequent meetings <>f the several bodies concerned have been held. To date nothing has been made public in this con? nection. Some time ago the rumor was current that the decision had been reached to en gape an assistant coach from the list of available football coaches, to act under the supervision of a graduate of the university, but as time passed without developing any confirmation to this possibility, the feeling became more firmly fixed that no departure would be made from the graduate Coach? ing system which has been In force h.-ro during recent years. To adopt the foregoing as a sentiment of the athletic council it was necessary to change a resolution adopted by the council in 1906 which restricted the per? sonnel of the couching staff to alumni or former undergraduate wearers of the "<"." As amended, the resolution now reads: "And such other coaches as they may deem necessary" This amendment makes it possible for the athletic authorities to Import such ex? perts in football aa they see fit, and it is said that a number of football coaches of prominence have unolikially signllled their willingness to answer a call from Cornell. Another question of importance was dis? posed of at the meeting of the council? namelf, the rescinding of the at tlon re? cently'taken awarding the 'varsity "'<"' to tue managers of tho major sports. J Thiff' sction was taken in response to the tnafrtMrntlve demonstration* made by the entire undergraduate body and published statement? of the most prominent ath? letes: and members of tho faculty. The custom will be continued of awarding the athletic insignia to athletes exclusively. The election of Edwin W, Butler. *l?, of Brooklyn, as captain of next season's football team was ratified. SYRACUSE TO ROW NAVY CREWS Syracuse, Jan. a.?Junior and 'varsity races with the Naval Academy crews have been arranged by Syracuse University. The races will bo rowed on tho* Severn on May IS.

COULD turn out fifteen thousand cars if we were willing to build haphazardly. But Paige standards do not permit it. Take the Paige power plant for instance. From the time the motor is completely assembled until we are ready to mount it in a permanent chassis for shipment, one full week elapses. That week is devoted to motor tests. We could pass the motor through to the assembling department with a perfunctory test, which would show nothing, prove nothing, detect nothing. But Paige cars ? though not high-priced?are distinguished for high quality in their price-field. We have achieved this standing by careful manufacture, and we will retain it by careful manufacture?not by the number of Paige cars but by the character of Paige cars. Even after building Paige motors with consummate skill and deliberate care we are not satisfied to take a chance. For no combination of man and mechanism is so right that it might not go wrong. So we devote a whole week to testing the Paige power plant under every conceivable condition to prove its efficiency. And when a Paige motor has gone through the belt test, block test, ro.id test and final test in permanent chassis and has the (). K. of our inspectors all along the line, it is ready for sendee in a Paige owner's hands, with our full one-year guarantee back of it. Particularly Distinguished by its Power Plant The Paige Car. in its entirety, bears the stamp of quality. It is a low-prictd VSt but we have not cheapened it. It is full valut at its price. Better value than some other tars that sell for more. While others have sought greater volume of business by reduc? irte prices and cheapening the product, we have sought to hold and coaservatively increase the loyal Paige following by maintaining prices and retaining, quality. Nothing is slighted, nothing cheapened, nothing rushed in the Paige. We have the equipment?in resources, men and ma? l-inery? to build good cars. And we take time enough to do it. Materials, workmanship and design,? each is considered vital in the Paige factory. So the Paige has never lagged behind. We have made it standard for all the automobile service that a thousand dollars can purchase. The Paige gives Power, ? one horse power for every 60 to 65 pounds of car weight, as against an average in other makes of 75 pounds. Speed?all that anyone could ever expect to need.
