St. Joseph's Academy Boys

IUtilize Rainy Days to Pre-

pare for Tournament

When the much heralded basket balljurnaiaent of the Catholic Schoolsthletic league begins after the holi-

days a tram from St. Josephs academy,

Berkeley, will be among the fivefe seek-ing for glory and the league trophy.

l>uring the rainy winter the Peraltapark boys have been practicing assidu-ously with the result that they arenow in fine fettle for the coming clash.

The academy lads took up basket ball

with enthusiasm this year and undertlie coaching' of Albin Forslund, physi-

cal director at Peralta park, have madecommendable propress .in the game.

They willkeep up their practice games

until the closing of school on Tuesday.

December 21. After the holidays a fewinterclass tussles will put them in fine

\u25a0

shape. for the league tournament.Thoug-h Coach Forslund declines at

ptesebt to name definitely the afidemyboys who will constitute the tean* toenter the l^aprue tournament, it is Ifke-ly that the following yo\ingrsters will-be called into requisition: WilliamCunningham, George lleinincer.- Fran->\f Porter, John Rocha and Athol Sulli-van.. The sixth and seventh grades of St.Joseph's academy did the honors in thegymnasium lapt nipht. The wand drillsiirnl th* formation of the human pyra-mids proved tho biff feature of theevening. The advantages bf rightlydirected athletics is readily seen at thefroquont gymnasium exhibitions at Pt.^Josepii's. » where the little fellows are"developing grace, pkill and niuscle.

Thf academy baseball enthusiastsliave not l><?«vu idle. In anticipation oft;,< pprinß baseball tournament of theCatholic Schools 'athletic league thePeralta park boys have organized anine that contains some very promis-ing material. The twirling of littleJ<.*eph Millet has won special com-mondatinn. The academicians recentlytook their namesakes from West Oak-Irfml inti« camp by a. 3' to 2 score.'

•to arrive in motor cars. The result.was that/ the locality received a gooddeal.' ;ofr"money that' It would nototherwise have received. lie. furthermade a suggestion -which, by the way.might be applied with good results inCalifornia, namely, that one of tlie firstduties of the new road • board shouldbe the. cutting away of the' -worst cor-ners in the country roads, which. Ifdone universally, would lead to. amarked .diminution of.accidents.

Here is 'argument^f or. good roa^swhich' should appeal tbrcibly to everycountry -supervisor.'Juarez Results

G. D. Falrprieve, sales manager ofthe Anderson carriage company o{ De-troit, manufacturers of the^ Detroitelectric, arrived in San Francisco yes-

terday and is making his headquarters

at the Reliance automobile company inVan Ness avenue, the agents for theelectric cars F'alrjrrJeve has a goodconception of the possibilities and fu-'ture of the electric pleasure :vehicle,

and his arguments for its popularityare convincing. In discussing; the^ma-chine yesterday he said:

"It is only recently;, we! may say. alittle,over 12 month*, that the electricvehicle, through its constriction, andthe improvement In storage batteries,

has reached a state of perfection, whichmust- demand for it serious considera-tion., Th«-electric .vehicle fills.a i>laceIn city and suburban life for which -no:

other motor vehicle or no- other, self-propelled vehicle of the present. day ex-actly suffices. The gas or;steam -mo^tor car of :the times is a speed burner

of such mechanical construction thatit takes r.'hat might be said to. bp .athinking mind to manipulate, "it. Notthat 'it is sos complicated that.it re-quires experience of years or a mnchan-ical etlucation, but it calls "for a' cer-tnin amount of.. close attention andstudy on the part of the, manipulator.

''With the electric vehicle it is Merelya case. of understanding how to. start,stop and steer. -No mechanical, knowl-edge, even '• of 'the slightest degree^ is-required. Hence, we have what may beacknowlediirfvl to lie the ideal vehiclefor woman kind, and for professionalmen, doctors in particular.

"Doctors have not the time, to stop toclean a spark plug, nor do 'they wisht<\" do anything,of the kind,, consider-ing that they are about to .approachthe sick or operating room. '

i

"Heretofore, ther general public haslooked upon it with some distrust, fear-ing, especially in San Francisco, thatit was not able to climb hill.s But; inSeattle the electric vehicle dally/ac-complishes 50 miles or more on its onecharge of battery. This proves con-clusively that the electric vehicle isideal for city-life." .

An indication of the importance at-tached at the present time to the auto-mobile Indusry on the coast is the factthat most of the best known agents bothin Los Angeles and San Francisco areerecting new and modern buildings fortheir headquarters. This is especiallytrue of the automobile dealers in SanFrancisco. Several have recently com-pleted buildings for their salesroomswhich compare favorably with any oftheir class in the world.

Prominent among these buildings inrtn Francisco which arc now devotedto the salesroom and. repair depart-ment of motor cars is the Standard mo-tor car company, corner Golden Gate;<nd Van Xoss avenues, which concernhas a large brick, fireproof, building,tiic lower.part of which, is used as thesalesroom for the Ford and Velie earn,the top floor»»of which Is now devotedto a thoroughly equipped repair shop,in which the machinery and entireplant of the Ivan L.de Jongh companyhas just been placed.

"We realize the advantage and impor-tance of having a fireproof building forboth our salesroom and repair shop,"paid W. L.llughson,' president of thecompany, in speaking of the modernclass of. buildings now being used inthis city by motor agencies. "We con-sider ourselves very fortunate in notonly having secured the service of Mr.de Jongh, but also having him a mem-ber, of the company. The fact thatMr. d*» Jongh is one of the best knownexperts of automobile machinery.- inthe country and is also well acquaintedwith the motor conditions throughoutthe west will no doubt become an im-porant feature in .the. future handlingof the business of the Standard" motorcar company.
