Rector has equalled the 8 3-5 second
record for one hundred yards which
stood for years, but few days ago
word was received from South Africa
that Walker had clipped fifth OF a
second off this mark. thereby estab-
fishing a new record and now comes
news that he did the 1870 yards in the
phenomenal time of Il 2-5.
Among athletes OF this country
neither of these records is taken as
authentic. They declare that the

MORE CLASS TO
OUR BASKETBALL

That there are now at least four
basketball teams in Detroit OF strictly
first class is an obvious conclusion
fro mthe result OF the game In the
Burroughs gymnasium Wednesday
evening in which the Spaldings, in
their loctl debut, played the Burroughs
team to a standstill and won out by
two points in the closing moments of
play.
Only few years ago all the first
class basketball in the city was con-
fined TO the local Y. NJ. c. A. and even
then that team was frequently de-
feated by state opponents. Then came
the d. A. c. and its state champion
ship teams. The Burroughs Is now
able TO take care Of about anything
outside Detroit, with a fair chance
against either ID. A. c. or v NJ. c. A.,
and the Spauldings are apparently a
shade better than the great shop
team.
The Riversides, Y. Nj. c. A. Seconds,
Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co. and
Deltas are also in class but very
little removed from the others men.
toned.
Never before has Detroit enjoyed
the prospect OF so much high-class bas
ketball as in the season now getting
into full swing.

The testimony given by the
various manufacturers of motor

the lowering Of the tariff on inn

brought out a number OF inter

OF the Buick Motor Co. of Flint.
who stated that the cost of a
machine, listing at from $1,000
to $1,000 Is approximately 800,
of which 100 is paid out for
labor.
Several of the manufacturers
agree that in but few cars does
the price of material go above
$500. The remainder, of the
manufacturing cost is laid to in
