QUICK WORK IN
CHANGING TIRES
"A. c. Leonard Tells of the Way
They Handle Things in
"a Hour Event

A. C. Leonard. manager for the ". ID.
Newerf rubber company. agents for
Goodyear tires, is back from his east
ern trip to the factory. In speaking of
the chances of the reduction of the
price in tires. Leonard says that there
is small hope for this inasmuch as the
market price of the crude materials is
increasing daily. a there is not enough
to supply the demand. In fact, some
Of the tire manufacturers have now
ceased to consider equipment for the
automobile manufacturers.
While east Leonard visited the "a
hour track racing contest at Brighton
Beach To him the most wonderful and
interesting part of the contest was the
way the crews changed tires. On the
Acme which was equipped with Doo-
little rims the quickest change OF four
tires was made in one minute and seven
seconds which was the record for the
day The Acme during the "a hours
used 81 tires. which was about the
average OF the contestants. The beau
tiful crew work of both the men in the
cars and those in the pit showed the
high perfection in which the automo-
bile racing game in the east is handled.
