The plan of holding a week's combination show Is not original in this city, but Indianapolis is one of the first cities In the country that has yet attempted anything of the sort. Where they have been held, they have, as a rule, been suecess ful; but few have been attempted, for the reason that It is not often that rival auto dealers can be persuaded to Join hands and work for the success or the cause in (renewal. Most of them desire to work for their own interests solely, and to do so in competition with all the other con rerns ln the country.

It rarely: comes to the mind of such dealers that there is a more profitable way to do business. The Idea was broached only a few weeks ago in Indianapolis, but Immediately took firm root, and the present week's show Is the result. The show is expected to le a Kreat success in the way of placing tho motor car before the public. Fake Purchasers In Evidence. Dealers do not expect to tret through the week without being made victims of ucorcs of fake purchasers.

Jlowover, they will guard atrainst this evil as much as possible. On occasions of this kind and during ordinary times, for that mutter, the dealers are compelled to devote a great deal of valuable time to fakijr who have no Intention of buying. yt.ie.se ietsons are fond of autolng and flu'V partly satisfy their craving by obtaining free rides tinder the pretense that they are prospective pure tinners, They make a round of the onto dealers, asking for complete demonstrations of all makes ami kind of cars. Then they poUtery state that they will come aaln, and that is the last the dealer sees of them. Much Depends on Weather.

All auto dealers aro praying for a continuance cf fine weather this week. With the rresent ideal climatic conditions the show is almost sure to be an unqualified success. Kaln or cold would Interfere with outdoor demonstrations. The list of sightseers arid prospective purchaersis expected to include as many womert as men. The feminine craze for motoring even exceeds the masculine, it is Baid.

More women will drive cars this season than ever before. Striking effects in motor costumes are exretted to be seen In In tiiiimipoila streets all week. WABASH WINS BIG MEET. Little Giants Victors In Triangular Track Event at Notre Dame. Special to Ths In ita.mpoll News.

March IS. George Siler. of Chicago, has been selected to referee the Neary Memelc battle here next Friday nisLu TRADE MAY BE ARRANGED "Moose" Baxter, the "beaut'V from Butte, who is regarded as one of the most promising first basemen in the country, is still the property of the Indianapolis baseball club, although he has been claimed by the St. Louis Cardinals and has been heralded aa the successor of the veteran Jake Beckley In the Mound City. A report from St.

Louis that Baxter purchased his own release from the Indianapolis club was. erroneous. For the reason that Baxter will not play anv ether position than first base and because Charley Carr has that posi tion cinched, Watkihs has turned the youngster over to the Seattle, (Wash.) club. Baxter is six feet, three Inches in hlsrht and is said to be a hard hitter. However.

Charley Carr la six feet four and probably Is a much better hitter than the newly touted wonder. r. Wonderful Batting by Carr. Fans are aware hit the ball hard last season, but few of them realize how timely was his hitting. It Is shown by the records that Carr batted across the plate more than half the runs scored by the Indians during the 1908 season.

As a clean up batter he apparently Is ln a class by himself. Many batters can hit when their bingles count for naught, "but It takes genuine nerve in addition to native ability to clout out the bingles when they mean runs. Charley Carr has that requisite in abundance. Watkins May Trade Baxter. Watkins appreciates the value of Baxter and will not allow him to get away without receiving his full value In return.

He Is no averse to a trade, however, and It is possible that Manager McCloskey, of the Cardinals, may have an Intielder for whom a trade can be made. Washington Beats Galveston. GALVESTON. March 18. While the regular team of the Washington Americans played the St.
