Dll THEIR LUCK
i Ilian* Wngnpr Say* Only Luck
[J1 Pnl« Hits Where no Play
ers Are. \
M PHILADELPHIA, August 33.—
L j John (Hansi Wagner, last year's
| premier swmsnun of the Nr->tir.r;al
j ; League, characterized his slump it
I hatting fn the beginning of the season
j • and subsequent Improvement as
3 | simply "baseball luck."
!( ! "If you hit tbs ball where they
,1 aren’t you’re all right,- and If you
hit them where, they are you're out,"
i said Hans. "and It’s a whole lot
• easier to hit them Where they are.
i 1 Only luck puts them any place else.
Any baseball player will have a good
year and then a bad year, and that’s
; what has happened to me this season.
For a long time I couldn't seem to
. hit them safe, and that's the reason
i my percentage slumped.
"You’ll find that It isn’t only In
. batting that baseball luck ' holds
, sway. Many a fielder has an'error
.. chalked up against him simply be
, cause that element of luck caused
maybe his spikes to slip, may be the
■ ball to take a tricky bounce, in fact
' 101 different ways of making the
errors made now that are the player's
fault. Very seldom When the ball Is
knocked to. a man along the ground
does hs miss It 'oecause he misjudged
It. The fielders’ eyes are all good,
and it’s a 20 to 1 shot that the ball
, was deflected In some manner Just
as the man was going after it.
•'No. I wasn't thinking of quitting
baseball at the beginning of the
season." answered "Hans" in response
to a question to that effect. “That
has been all false rumor, if I want
ed to quit I’d quit, and that would,,
be all to It. 1 won’t know, though,‘
when I get too poor to play with the
J Pittsburg team unless the team tells
me. I’m ready to play with them
until they decide that I’m worthless.
Vou know how it 1*. A young player
haa lots of him and he’s pushing
right along, while we older ones sort
of lose our dash. I’ve been In base
ball fourteen years and you see I
may get like Jeflfcjes.
"Kverybody thought Jeffries could
come back and everybody wanted him
to win, but the athletes knew he was
done for. He couldn’t expect to de
feat a younger and more vigorous
man, and so It may be with me.
"Baseball luck got in against our
team in the beginning of the season
with twenty straight days of noth
ing but rain, and that has been a
disadvantage to us ever since. We
have over a dozen double-headers to
play off and we are going to try to
win them. Whether we will or not 1
can’t say.’’

is Estimated at $400.
000,000.
BOSTON. MASS.. Aug. 13 —Much j
has been said regarding the magnttude i
of the automobile industry, but fig- j
ures prepared by some of the 1- adlng '
automobile authorities give a much
I more concrete Idea of the extent of !
I this Industrial development than can
| any general descriptive terms. >
I It Is estimated that there is to-day
I Invested in automobile plunts at.cut
: 8660,000,000, and that at least 200.
I 000 persons are employed in the man
| ufacture of automobiles or their ac
cessories. The automobile makers are
paying the ratlroade of ’he country
between $86,000,000 and $30,000,^0
; annually for freight and consume Over
$60,006,000 of rubber, steel iron and
' aluminum.
United State* Uses 850,000 Autos.
There are in dally use in the United
States at present approxJmi'cy 350,
000 automobiles. The 1HI production
may be placed at 180,00(1 cars, with at
approximate value of $240,000,000.
Large as these figures are, they are
exceeded by the annual expenditure
for horse drawn vehicles. Reliable
authorities estimate that there are
over 7,000,000 of these vehicles used
dally In the United States, while the
total number of horses and colts In
the country exceeds 21.000,000 besides
3,000,000 mules. American manufac
turers produce yearly about 1,750,000
vehicles, of which 040,000 are passen
ger conveyances with an estimated
value of $110,000,000. In addition
there Is a yearly expenditure of $1*6.
000,000 for horses and $25,000,000 for
the harnesses, so that It seems fair to
assume the United States expends
yearly for its horse vehicles a total
of $200,000,000.
Displaced 500,000 Horses and Wagons.
Automobile makers claim that at
raady automobiles have displaced 600,
000 horses and wagons, the average
upkeep of which is <6 cents a day.
compared with the average upkeep of
an automobile of 80 cents a day.
A comprehensive Idea of the scope
of the automobile Industry Is given by
the following figures compiled by some
of the leading manufacturers of toe
country. The details follow:

ture of automobiles... . $225,000,000
