Six-Man Baseball
Something new in the world of;
sports was demonstrated recent-

University, when two six-man:
teams played ball" on a trian-

Austin Whether the cutting
of large trees is detrimental to
the squirrel crop of Texas will be
determined by Regional Game
Biologists who have started a
squirrel and squirrel nest count
In Robinson and Leon counties,
where considerable logging is
being started
The total squirrel populations
of these counties will be deter-
mined before a. large amount of
timber Ls taken and another
count will be made when the
woods have been CQnsiderably
thinned by the felling of large
trees to be made into ties, crates
and boxes.
It is not definitely known
whether the cutting Is detrimen-
tal or is an aid It Is possible
that the thinning of timber will
increase the available h>od sup-
ply for the little "ruff-paters'.” or
again it may be that too many
suitable nesting sites arc remov-
er and the squirrel population
will be hard hit

When a train conductor stops
his string of freight cars almost
daily and uses the hoboes hid-
ing the train t<> sweep out grain
so that wild turkeys may be fed.
the Game Department feels that
it is getting cooperation of the
highest caliber That is exactly
what is happening in Archer
county The State Game War-
den at Wichita Falls recently
noticed the train halted near a
river and dust flying out of the
doors of several cars. Upon In-
vestigation he found that the
conductor had about half a doz-
en hoboes sweeping out gTain
from grain cars to feed a bunch
of wild turkeys that use that
area Questioned, the conductor
said that he had heard the war-
den's plea, last winter when snow
was on the ground, about feed-
jj ing wildlife and he decided that
' every time he had any empty
cars on his train he would make
use of the bums riding by having
them sweep out the cars at a
place where he knew turkeys
were ranging
There are approximately 40
turkeys in this bunch which are

Three eerie* of passenger cars, re-designed in the new “Royal Clipper"
soling, and embodying numerous mechanical Improvements to assure
greater safety and romfort as well as finer performance, comprise Chevro-
let's new line for 1940, introduced today. All series are much larger, over-
all length being increased I Js inches. The new eieluslve vacuum power shift
(lower left) Is now regular equipment on all models of all series at no extra
cost. Special De Luxe aeries, the Sport Sedan of which is shown at center,
has a new T-opoke steering wheel with horn-blowing ring (upper right).

DETROIT. Oct. 13 Three
completely re-styled series of
Chevrolet passenger cars, com-
bining greater length and width
with more massive appearance,
and embodying many mechani-
cal refinements, will make their
formal public bow tomorrow at
the National Automobile Show
and In Chevrolet dealers' sales-
rooms from cofct coast Over
all length has been increased 4
3-8 Inches, a change which
makes the new line outstanding
fiip-otvryleekne&s and grace.
Improvements, aside from styl
ing. in Wiich sweeping changes
are made. Include provision of
Chevrolet's exclusive vihs^um
power shift as regular equipment
on all models of all three series,
helical syncro-mesh transmission
with silent low and reverse as
well as silent intermediate and
high, and numerous revisions af-
fecting safety, comfort, conveni-
ence, performance, and long life
Knee-action and shockless steer-
ing are featured on the Special
De l uxe and Master De Luxe
cries, conventional I-beam front
axle with semi-elliptic springs
and airplane-type shock absorb-
ers being retained on the Master
85
Exrep' for the difference In
front suspension and the use of
a slightly higher gear ratio on
the Master 85, the chassis of the
three series are practically iden-
ical All are of the same wheel-
base. and the power plant is the
'attic throughout. It is the time-
tried Chevrolet six-cylinder
valve-tjv-head engine, Fevised in
i v ral particulars in the inter-
ests ' f sibn' operation, smooth-
ness, ajid long life These chang-
es affect the oil system, the valve
mechanism, and the camshaft,
and in the two latter cases In-
volve change in manufacturing
practice as well as in design.
