ABBOTT-DETROIT The Abbott-Detroit 44-50 chassis is the duplicate of that which made the high? est record for consistency of any of the American cars entered in the Vander- j bilt and Grand Prize races held at [ Savannah. On that chassis driven to the | limit and mercilessly abused in those I gruelling contests, not a single mechani- I cat adjustment was necessary in a total I of more than 1.400 miles, despite the fact ! that a speed of 91 miles an hour was fre- j rjuently attained on the straightaways. Although the Abbott Motor Com pany haji never consistently adopted a racing policy, the victories won by its ?ars place t hem among what might, be , known as the ten American champions. : TWO-WHEELERS COMING Most of the big motor car factories ; ?and many of the smaller ones?have , innounced that their 1913 production Mil be a largely increased one if they! tre to supply the demand that is ahead. , And. of course, it is to be expected j hat truck manufacturers will be put j :o it to handle the rush of business :hat will pile up on them during the ri-ar. Because the utility of the gas? oline car is pretty well established by this time, both in the pleasure and com? mercial end of the business; and the kn.ickers" are liecoming fewer and farther between every year. So it is safe to hazard the prediction , that 1913 will be far and away the big lest year that motor-driven vehicles I . have ever had. , And a great big percentage of the: motor-driven vehicles that will be sold ! in 1913 will be motorcycles. In 1912 something like 50.000 of the "two-wheelers" passed into the hands ' ijf riders, and motorcycle authorities I Ball mate that three times that figure, will be somewhere near th? number sold this year. | ] Just as an instance of the great in? crease in the motorcycle business it, Snaj be interesting to many to know | that the manufacturers of Yale motor? cycles have now on hand contracts, certified by ca-h deposits, for about twice as many machines jis they sold during the entire past year, with more ; orders coming in every day. ' Incidentally, this concern expects to i sell its entire output for 1913 by the time hi the Chicago Motorcycle Show, the llrbt week in February. Not a little credit for tbi? sales in- \ crease is due to the wide-awake ad- ? vertismg campaign which the Vale ! makers have conducted, and which will I] shortly break out In the newspapers throughout the country. Those who hark back a few short ( years see in the motorcycle situation h replica of motor car growth, with I the r.i ?ssibilitics Infinitely greater, of j i ourse. because of the bigger market.

Ft isn't really an introduc? tion, but I am reminded of un incident which happened during a series be? tweeti the t{ed Sox and the Highlanders ? beg pardon. New York - when Con? nelly and myself were working to? gether. It was in .Inly and the weather was abnormally warm lot Boston. Jake Stahls men wore red flannel shirts most of the time, but, because of the excessive heat had taken them off and hung them on the iron rail in fionl of the players' bench. Connelly started to wotk the game, and for myself, I hadn't noticed the; scenery. After the game had been on j about three innings. Tommy called "Time." walked over to where Stahl was sitting, and, in a voice which could be heard all over the lot. yelled: "Hey, take in the family wash ' It wasn't funny. It was just characteristic of Tommy Connelly. He can't stand anything which might detract from the game. He is on the job all of the time and feels that everybody else who is interested should also be on the job. Born in Ireland some - we'll, that isn't quite anybody's business, but lie was born there, anyway, and still dings to many <>f the quaint expres? sions which he brought over as a boy. He is always able to get a laugh, even from the most infractions ball player. He now has a farm just outside Bos? ton, and when he isn't working on hrs garden he is thinking up some means by which to male the game more in? teresting from the fan's standpoint. He worked his first professional ball game in the Connecticut League in 18?. Tom Lynch, now president of the National League, doubled with! hiin. and they had a merry time try? ing to make the bushers realize that baseball was a regular game and a . fredWeatervelt serious undertaking. Lynch had little trouble, but Connelly, looking' at it all so seriously, run afoul of the play? ers' ire frequently, and only by using ! his mother wit and by turning i-erious I situations into laugh-provoking ez- ! changes was he able to weather the storm. He has a particular penchant for i gathering all the Mother (loose ami similar rhymes. Kvery night he spends most of bis tune looking for these mi t of things to send home to the kiddies Oh. yes.

The last thing he does at night is to THORPE PLAYED WITH ROCKY MOUNT TEAM DURING TWO SEASONS (Continued from first Page ) rille Club.and in this deal Manager Charles Clancy, of the Fayetteville Highlanders, at that time, and later of the Winston Club, gave over two youngsters, Boyle and Peatcren, for the Indian, and Schumann, of ?rmer Virginia League fame. James E. Sullivan, the secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union, rill find little trouble in substantial proof that the Indian played baseball in the now extinct Kastern Carolina League during the last two vears of its existence, and there are thousands of fans that could identify and give positive proof that he has been seen in the Rocky Mount and Fayetteville uniform during this time, while there is in posse-sion of the,Rocky Mount Athletic Association abundance of identity and proof from pictures, signature to checks, etc. In faet, the Indian was so much a favorite around the circuit that the announce? ment that he would pitch was an attendance getter, and as a cigarette idvertisement his picture was furnished for coupons sent to the head office of the companv. Clancy Got Thorpe. The alleged statement of Charles Clancy, now manager of the iYinston team, as appearing in a Worcester, Mass.. paper, is noted with surprise here, especially in view of certain statements and denials that te is charged with making. Charles Clancy was in I9IO manager of In Fayetteville team in the Eastern Carolina League.and that he was evidently aware of Thorpe's ability as a ball player is a matter of xcord in the office of Secretary Farrell. of the \.<tional Association, "or among the few trades of the year was that whereby he secured the management of the Indian and his membership on his team in ex-, hange for other players that he was willing to give in a trade. If pla\ing summer baseliall makes of an amateur a professional it annot be conceived how this informant can now give out the statement harged against, him, ""that he knows nothing that would reflect on Thorpe's record as an amateur." As to the statement that Thorpe has never pla\cd with Winston Nilem. this is correct, but there is not a ball fan in the Old Eastern arolina League circuit that docs not know that James Thorpe played vith Rocky Mount in the two seasons named, and manager Clancy 011H hardly lay claim to being ignorant of the trade of players made >> the team of which lie was manager. Didn't Hide It. That James Thorpe had no evident desire to shield the fact that *t w,c- p!<i\iiig haseliall during his college da\s .11 Carlisle appears widen* from the fact that he joined the Rocky Mount club while it v,i-> visiting in Raleigh along wiih two Other < .irli-Je Indians, Young [)eer and Libby, the last named having been <apiain of the Carlisle ?levin the year following his advent in this circuit. Thorpe s ability was somewhat retarded by dissipation, having a rait of his forefathers, love for firewater. On two occasions the in oxicating beverages brought the Rerbkin into the limelight. On me occasion, while intoxicated, he fell through a plate glass window n Fayetteville ami was severelv cut and remains! in a hospital for ?veral weeks. On another in Raleigh he imbibed too freely of the ntoxicating LttVUafn and four officers made an attempt to put the Redskin behind the bars, but Thorpe demonstrated his great strength >\ taking them one by one and gently depositing them in a nearby r.ish can. while the other fellow hIuccoat<- slood b\ tnd watched him lo the trick, powcrlc-s to stop him and nervous!} w.iiting their turn. \\ hate\er nu\ ]*? the result of the prolie of the Amateur Athletic l iiion.

WASHINGTON AND LEE WILL HAVE NEW CLUB Monogram Club Organized to Foster Athletics and Unify the Several Branches of Sports in University. Bp* lal to The Times-1 >h*pat< I l.cxtngton. V?., January St. ? Last Wednesday night pursuant to a < all issued by P. W. McWppp, president of the General Athletic Association, the monogram wearei- in Washr gton and l.rr I' rn versit y. i?m? together for the purpose of or anizing a "Monogram ! Club " In a few words. Mi McWane stated the object of the meeting, saying that the organisation of a club such as the one contemplated, would serve to unify athletics and at the name time put upon test university monogram even a great? er premium than ever before. Another feature of the club would be its soc'.af side, wh'cb would consist of monogram figures at the university dances, ban? quet* and other activities. Mr Raftery suggested that the club, after becoming organized, might applyI for m chapter tn the National \ Min? or Monogram Fraternity, which was recently organized at the Cntversity of Illinois, an l has already received pc titions for sixty chapters. (ither men who spoke in favor of the proposed pla were Messrs. Moran Miller and Rothrock. They said they indorsed it because Jt would be an or? ganization bused on merit and worth, where everything would be to gain and nothing to lose, arid because it would fill a real need in the university. Accordingly, it was moved and carried : that officers re elected and the club' be pu> s"j a permanent basis. The officci? chosen were- presiJer.t F. W. McWane: vice-president. Tom Rothcock; secretary. William Miller, treasurer. C. S. Glasgow. r?. B. Bar wood was elected to lead the Monogram figure in the February dances. President McWane then appointed ec a committee on permanent organiza? tion Tom Hothrock. C. M. Peek and C. S. Glasgow. It was definitely de- : tided that the National Athletic fra? ternity should be approached, with a view of petitioning it for a chapter at Washington and Iafe. This fraternity occupies the same place m the college aiheltic world that Phi Beta Kappa cocupios in the literary world. There is no doubt that a step has besM taken in the right direction, and that the club will exercise a remarkable influence over all athletic activities in the university, it is made up of every monogram wearer tn college, aud Is therefore com posed of men whojinow from experience the conditions ig ?-a< h department and are best qualified to advise and suggest in reference to mat? ters pertaining to thern. The standard of the club will be such as to offer great OT encouragement to other? to win a monogram. Its membership will be the - Who's Who in AtMsttCPPt Wash? ington and I..ce ' It has been suggest? ed that aiurnni who won monograms while In college should be admitted as j members, and articles to this effect will i undoubtedly be incorporated in the constitution. The next meeting of the bod;,- ejfnj be called when the committee on per- i manent organization is ready to make a ; report.
