JERSEYITES PLAN ONE
THOUSAND MILE TESTS
Auto and Motor Club May Hold Con-
test, Eliminating Objectionable
Rules Applied to Chicago
Endurance Run

The New Jersey Automobile and Motor
club is talking Of an endurance run of
1000 miles for next spring, and Secretary
BonlIen of the club believes that the on
test will not only be- held, but that It
will be contest to a finish as was the
case in Chicago, but contest also under
rules fully as strict as those of Chicago
with some Of the Objectionable points
removed
Many in the east believe that Chicago's
rules went just little bit too far and
point to the fact that the Pierce was
prevented from making a perfect score
by a grease cup working loose, a matter
requiring but live seconds TO adjust.
The club is also ceEsured for penalizins
cars for loose glasses in lamps, for loose
speedometers, when speedometers were
not the regular equipment, and for the
penallzation OF a car for the reason that
bolts In lamp loosened or lacing holding
a leather boot worked loose.
The men who took no part In the Chi.
cago run are seemingly most sevhre on
the club. as those who participated had
little at all to complain OF and claimed
thas all had been treated alike, and thai
for this reason, If not for any other, the
club deserved no censure.
: However, it is quite probable that many
of the features made prominent by the
Chicago results win be cut out of future
runs and the New Jersey club will care
fully consider every rule before its adop
ton

Several Of the large iron works in this
city are partly or wholly occupied with
the orders of the Los Angeles Wave
Power and Electric company for heavy
machinery to go into the companys plant
now nearing completion at Redondo.
The clutches for the Redondo plant will
be the largest in the world and the
heaviest machinery the local foundries
and machine shops are capable OF maxi

At the Pilgrim iron works tho shops are
busy with the sheaves for the clutches,
which will weigh seven tons each. The
threading for steel cables to operate the
clutches is the largest ever done on a
Los Angeles lathe. The clutches are Of
the Starr roller type.
The steel wire cables run around the
sheaves from the crossheads which move
up and down between guides as the power
barges rise and fall with the ocean swell.
At the Lacy boiler works air receivers,
six feet In diameter and thirty feet long.
are being rushed to completion. One will
be delivered at the wave motor pier at
Redondo early this week and another by
the end of next week. The Harper g.
Reynolds company recently delivered q
carload of steel chain for the anchors to
the power barges. and for transmission
purposes. The anchors are on the Santa

WOMAN DEMANDS The
RIGHT TO COMPETE
BANKERS WIFE MAY ENTER
AUTO RACE
Committee in Charge of Westehester
Event Expected to Oppose APP
pIication-Is a Well
Known Driver

In a way more pertinent and pointed
than ever beror the question of the
status of women in motoring sport is to
be brought up by the race for stock cars
In Westchester, N. Y.
This is because a woman. of whose abil-
ity as a driver there is no question, is
seeking to be a competitor for the Briar-
cliff cup. She is Mrs. Joan Cuneo, wife
OF Andrew n. Cunso, the, New York
banker. Mrs. Cuneo has competed in a
number of events on both track and
road, has driven il two Glidden tours
and repeatedly Demonstrated her ability
to handle a high powered car in COM
petition with men. Her success in com
ing through the CIlldden tour Of last sum
mer with her 35 horsepower Rainier was
a feat that led other competitors to sub
scribe to a testimonial cup for her.
Mrs. Cuneo recently purchased a pew
$3.50 Rainier and has notified Secretary
T. F. Moore of her intention of entering
the Westminster race.
Mr.. Moore told her that personally he
would be glad to see her compete, but
that he could NOT speak for the COM
mittee and there was no telling how 1t
will decide on the appucauOn-
1t is known there will be opposition in
the committee tc accepting the entry Of
a woman, but Mrs. Cuneo is very much
in earnest and will not be easily re-
buffed. She has strong arguments in
favor of her being allowed to race and
the matter bids -..ir to be a sort of test
case.
Mrs. Cuneo claims a right to recogni-
ton on the ground of having been in
other races and proven her ability She
argues they have women racers in Eu-
rope and there is no just reason why we
should not have them here.
1t has been argued as reason for de-
barring women from races that IL their
entries were accepted it would lead to
actresses and others making entries for
the sake of advertising.
Regarding this, Mrs Cuneo says it
would be easy enough and fair enough
for the committee to make rule that no
woman Is eligible unless she has COM
peted In four or five other contests.
Under such a rule Mrs. Cuneo could
qualify, but 1t would effectually shut out
insincere entries of the sort indicated.

JONES MAY
- -
BE A GIANT
YALE CRACK WILL SIGN WITH Nc
GRAW, IF AT ALL
Great College Player Does Not Need
Money, but Promises to Join
Muggsy If He Turns
Professional

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-John McGraw is
authority for the statement that If Tad
Jones, Yale's great quarterback and
catcher, finally decides to enter the pro-
fessional baseball ranks he will be seen in
the uniform of the New York Giants. Tho
manager of the Giants went on to say in
discussing the matter that he knew of
Jones exceptional baseball ability last
year and had made an offer to the great
Yale athlete through Shortstop Kinney
of the Yale team.
Jones appreciated the offer, and after
thanking the management of the New
York team said that he never expected to
play professional ball He made a prom
ise, however, that if he ever decided to
become a professional he would try first
to become a member of the polo grounds
team. In fact, he said that the Giants
were his first choice.
From this 1t can be seen that McGraw
was a good time ahead of Lajoie of Cieve-
land and Charlie Murphy of the Chicago
Cubs in trying to enlist the services Of
Jones.
Billy Lush. who is now coaching the
Yale baseball candidates, was the man
who recommended Jones to CLEVELAND and
Chicago.
In his written reply to Charlie Murphy
Jones said: IT am pleased with the COM
pliment and appreciate the honor you do
me in asking ME to join the worlds cham
pion Chicago team, but do not care to
play professional ball"
Despite these answers, the managers of
the various major league teams will be
sure to keep an eye on Yale's great play
er, and they make no secret of their idea
that they will eventually induce him to
play There are many college players In
the big league nowadays, and Jones would
not lose caste as a college man by play
ing on big league team.
Jones graduates this spring, but will re-
turn to New Haven next year to be phys-
ical director of the Yale Y. NJ. c. a. and
coach for the Eli eleven. His family Is
we'll to do financially, so tempting offers
in the way of salary are, not likely to
change his mind But Jones is q true
athlete. He loves football and baseball
for the exhilaration they give him and
he will hardly be satisfied with the CON-
parative inactivity from physical stand
point of a coach or director. 1t Is this
liking to take part in sport that the base-
ball magnates count upon to induce Jones
to become member of a big league
team.
McCsraw says Tad Jones is one of the
best catchers the college diamond has
ever developed, and that the New York
Giants is willing to pay him big salary
for his services.
Some wild-eye fans in Chicago figure on
the prospects Of winning at least FOUR
peunants next year, If the American as
socIation succeeds in putting a team in
the metropolis of the middle west

RECORD OF 81 MAKES OF
AMERICAN AUTOS COMPILED
Interesting Table Shows Score Of 544
Cars Used III Seventeen Events,
with Average of a67 Miles
for Each

Ona of the most interesting tables from
the standpoint of user of automobiles
has been compiled by Motor Age OF chi
cago.
This table shows the record of sixty
seven makes of cars, sixty-fiVe OF THESE
being of American manufacture, which
competed in the reliability contests Of the
season.
The table shows record of 544 cars
which started in seventeen events, and OF
this number no less than 24S came
through with a clean score.
The distance Travelled in competitive
events Of the year was 6254 miles, or an
average of nearly 367 miles for each
event In the seventeen events of the
wear the Pierce Great Arrow entered the
thirteen and the record of the year places
the Pierce car in the lead with thirteen
perfect scores as opposed to twelve for
its nearest competitor.
No cleaner record of victories was ever
scored, for the Great Arrow was entered
in every instance right rom stock and
without special preparation.
Average Best of All
This car has scored perfectly for a
great many years, but its average for
the last year has been the best of all
owing to the number of events which
were entered.
The number of competitors, also has
been larger than ever before. as is shown
in a record of siXty-seven makes of cars
competing in the various events.
The last year has been productive Of
contests more severe than were ever
known before and the complete record Of
this year has proved most interesting as
showing the real standing of the cars.
During the coming year the contests
will be more numerous and the conditions
more arduous than during previous years
The season will develop contests of
strenuous nature and will bring forth
victors with an even better record than
during the past year, perhaps.
