BRUNO ZEIBEL RETURNS;
WILL DRIVE STERLING

Back to his old love, Los Angeles has
another popular racing driver at the
wheel again in Bruno Zeibel, after an
absence of about q year in San Ber-
nardino, where he had been making
his home.
Zeibel is one of the best mechanics
on automobiles and one of the most
daring automobile drivers on the Pa
cific coast, speed being his hobby. He
has an utter disregard of what may
happen to him personally. With the
reputation made by him with the
Chadwick, making eighty-five miles
an hour when his steering knuckle
broke and the car turned turtle sew
eral times, it was proved that the nerve
was there Scarcely had he alighted
in. this city until his connection was
again established by an engagement
with the A. i. Jung Motor Car COM
pany, who at once turned over to nm
the Sterling roadster, one of the most
delightfully."- easy riding machines yet
brought to the city and which, from
what has been shown with Zeibel at
the wheel, is likely to fool good many
if they attempt to brush up against
the car for speed.
Beginning this morning the car will
be depleted of it's ornamental body
and furnishings and handed over to
the racing and stunt part of the auto
mobile business of the Jung company,
with Zeibel in command.

DEVICE TO PREVENT
AIR SKIDS IS PLANNED

The only thing which stands in the
way of aeroplaning becoming simple
and safe popular sport lies in the ten
dency to continual "air skids," caused
by the varying air currents which are
encountered. 1t is true that experience
soon teaches the operator to check
these ''air skids'' unconsciOusly, just
as the clever automobile driver checks
the tendency of his car to skid on
greasy asphalt without conscious eff
fort. But this does not alter the fact
that this condition is most trying to
the novice fifty feet or more off the
earth, and naturally nervous in conse-
quence. A. p. Warner of Beloit, Wis,
the well-known inventor, processes to
have the problem practically solved,
and will shortly equip his Curtiss
aeroplane with the device. Aviators
in all countries are watching Mr.. War
ner's experiments with much interest,
and confirm Mr.. Warmers own premise
that, when this one problem is sue
cessfully solved, the aeroplane is at
once put on a commercial basis, and
will rapidly replace the automobile for
those who drive for the exhilaration
and pleasure there is in it.

outer coating or tread, which is an
extra, thickness of rubber put around
the running surface of the tire. Inc
tread is made separately of bullt-up
strips of rubber gum, and is vulcan
lied by a process similar to that de-
scribed above. 1t is Joined to the tab-
ric part of the tire by means OF ce-
ment and bound to the tire by means
of strips of cloth. Meantime the IRON
core has been removed and its place
taken in the tire casing by what is
known as an air bag, which in reality
is an inner tube that Will hold air
under pressure.
The next step is to take this BAN
daged tire to another steam tank,
where the INFLAMMATION is completed
and the tire and tread are made prac-
tically into one piece. The action OF
the heat of course, expands the ar
in the wind bag, and after all the
stretch has been taken out or the wet
bandaged cloth the expansion of the
air in the wind bag puts very heaVy
pressure on the rubber of the casing
and tends to knit the parts firmly to-
gether.
The inner tubes are very simply
made, and their production is at pres
ent almost entirely by hand work The
rubber coming from the calender
presses is cut into the proper width
and the edges after being scarfed, are
overlapped upon each other and ce-
mented in such a way as to form one
piece of material when placed tlghtly
together. The two ends of this rubber
tube are brought together and united,
forming the inner tube as it is COM
monty seen in the tires of today.

BASEBALL RULES
MUCH CHANGED
GAME M0DERNIZED BY NEW
LAWS
PRESIDENT LYNCH GETS MANY
REFORMS
Revision Becomes Effective in Nation
al League Immediately and
Without Further
Ceremony

PITTSBURG, Jan. PA statement
of the rules committee of the National
league was given out at midnight.
For the first time, two umpires are
officially recognized in the national
game and their duties are defined.
The umpire behind the plate is the
umpire-in-c chief, and the one on bases
is designated as field umpire.
Aside from changes in phraseology,
there were few alterations. Wild
pitches and passed alls no longer will
be recognized, and these designations
disappear from the game. They will
be classed as errors.
The amount of fines for violations of
rules is set forth, and the umpire also
is given power to clear the bench of
substitute players expressing their
disapproval of decisions. The substi-
tutes may be fined $40 after being
warned, and, further, may be sent to
the club house, to be called into the
game by the captain as he needs them.
This was found to be advisable be-
cause much trouble was experienced
by the National league last year from
substitutes on the bench.
A batter throwing a bat before run
ming so that it hits the umpire or
catcher also will be fined for the first
offense So.
from the bases is provided.
Foul strikes are designated ILLEGALLY
batted balls" No change can be made
in the batter's box by batter after a
pitcher is ready to deliver a ball.
A ball passing AN inhelder and hit
ting an umpire on foul ground permits
a runner all the bases he can get, but
if an umpire is hit by bat no runner
can score unless forced by other base
runners.
The batting order must be delivered
to the umpire at the plate by the two
aptains just before the game. This
order must be retained throughout the
game, unless a man is taken out.
Umpires will make rulings on coach
ing violations or discoloring the ball,
in their own judgment, without wait
ing for captains to notify them.
Ground rules and calling games to
enable teams to catch trains must be
announced by the umpire. He also
will call the game on account of rain
when occasion warrants, in his own
judgment.
When teams from the east playing
in the west, or vice versa, agree upon
certain time to stop play that they
may catch trains, they must start the
game at least three and one-half hours
before the train leaves.
Whenever a player is substituted,
the captain shall notify the umpire.
who shall announce it to the specta-
tors.
Throwing mask or glove at a bat
ted ball by fielder, entities the bat
ter, who becomes a baserunner, to
three bases.
These changes and additions become
the law of baseball in the National
league at once without further sane
ton.

URGE MANY CHANGES
IN BASEBALL RULES

PITTSBURG, Jan. 24-Although the
question of how much baseball, rather
than how to play, was the paramount
issue in the meetings today of the joint
schedule and rules committee of the
American and National leagues, the
rule makers had before them several
proposals for more or less important
alterations in the game. The sugges-
tions were drawn up by Robert NC
Roy, American league secretary, and
John Flanner, Ban Johnson's general
utility.
One proposal is to prohibit "hiding
the ball" The trick was a favorite
with the big league infelders seasons
ago, and even now is tried often with
success. The principal objection given
to it is the delay involved.
Another proposed change gives base
runners the right to make as many
bases as they can when a thrown ball
hits the umpire while tlat official is
on fair ground. The ball would re-
main in play, according to the amend
ment just as though it had hit a base
runner.
According to present rules, wild
pitches and passed balls are scored as
errors only when they enable the
batsman to reach first base. The
American leaguers propose the change
that errors be scored also whenever
any baserunner finds opportunity to
advance on a wild pitch or passed ball
Another proposed change in scoring
rules provides that one assist should
be credited to each man who handles
the ball in a run up" including the
player who makes the putout, except
in case the latter has not handled the
ball previously.
The few other proposals for revision
of the rules are of a more technical
character

HARNESS MEET
CARD ARRANGED
VARIED PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
FOR SATURDAY
OUT WEST CLUB GIVEN PLACE
ON CARD
Wild and WooIIy West Features to Be
Added to Trotting and Pacing
Events at Agricul-
tural Park

Although no classification of the
horses which will compete in the Los
Angeles Driving club matinee to be
given Saturday afternoon at Agricul-
tural park, has yet been made, Secre-
tary Delorey feels assured that some
of the fastest fields which ever have
been sent away will face the barrier
The program, which will include many
special events to be contributed by the
members of the Out West club, will be
featured by a special race, in which
Lady Mac, Steve Bailey, Artesia and
Barker will be the probable starters.
The mile should be negotiated in about
2:10. Jack Conner, Tom Mckinney and
Copper King, in addition to several
new horses, also will be seen in action.
The track is in first class condition,
and, barring possible rains, should be
exceedingly fast.
A series of special events arranged by
the Out West club is another feature
which should prove attractive. Roping,
lance throwing, riding bucking horses
and many other events will be seen.
W. w. Padgett, Mike Brahm and Mrs
Dell Blanchett will endeavor to break
a number of wild horses. This act will
be followed by a quadrille on horse
back in which three sets of women and
men will take part.
The pony express relay race is an
other which promises to aid in swell
ing the gate receipts. In this event the
riders must saddle their horses and
ride around the track, unsaddle and
repeat the operation with a fresh
mount. A representation of the Greeley
stage holdup also will be given.
Captain George p. Bartlett, the we'll
known rifle and shotgun expert, will
give a demonstration of his skill with
both firearms. Bartlett is able to
smash three or four glass balls thrown
into the air at the same time. He also
will do some shooting by means of a
looking glass. Although Bartlett's
right eye has given him much trouble
during the past few months, he is now
smashing as many records as of yore,
sighting entirely with his left eye.
Arrangements now are being made to
accommodate several thousand persons.
In view of the large crowds which have
witnessed every program given by the
driving club within the present season,
the members are hopeful that harness
racing will soon be placed on a firm
footing in Southern California.

FINDS AUTO HANDY
TO RUN ACROSS ICE
Old Salt, Deserving Boat for Machine,
Uses Contrivace in Connec-
ton with His
Duties

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-It really
seems as though the all-conquering au-
tomobile finds no field in which it can
not be put to good use. One of the
most enthusiastic motorists of West
chester county is Captain A. Kelbsrg,
in charge of the lighthouse in Tappan
Zee bay. Though the captain is salt
of the old school, as much devoted to
the "briny" as ever a sailorman was,
the new conveyance has made a de-
cided hit with him and whenever duty
permits he delights in travelling about
in his Maxwell Sportsman" When
the boss of the lighthouse is bound to
the rock by duty, the members of his
family take to land locomotion as
readily as the proverbial fish to the
water
During the recent cold spell Tappan
Zee bay became covered with q crust
of solid ice, and the captain, who had
laid UP his car for the winter, found
an unexpected opportunity TO use it,
running it back and forth on the ice
between the shore and the lighthouse
This certainly must be regarded aG the
first instance for a motor car - be
used in conjunction with the govern
ment's lighthouse service.

TWO BUCKS DELIVERED

The Howard Automobile company
yesterday delivered to the Oakland
agent Carl Christensen, a 1910 Buick
forty touring car and 1910 Buick
White Streak. These cars will in turn
be delivered by Mr.. Christensen to
their respective purchasers, both hav-
ing been sold at the Oakland automo-
bile show on Friday. The Buick ex-
hibit at this show attracted a lot Of
attention, especially the racing car
which was shown, as this Buick forty
was the only regular racing machine
at the show.

Machines Prove Effective

By main strength the operator draws
the fabric around the core, using his
utmost endeavor to put uniform
stretch throughout the material as it
is drawn around. Several layers are
placed one above the other, thus build
ing up the tire. During the process of
building up the beading is put in
around the rim, which always exists in
an automobile tire, to assist in fasten-
ing the outer casing to the rim of the
wheel.
AS must be apparent, the objection
to hand made tires is the fact that
the amount of stretch given by the
operator is anything but uniform, as
he gradually pulls the material around
the core a short stretch at a time
Also he naturally uses less strength
during the latter part of the day as he
becomes tired The result Is that uni
formity of tire strength and values is
impossible in the hand made product.
In order to obviate these sources of
irregularity the Goodyear company
uses machines. They not only make
six to seven tires in the same length
of time required by hand to make one,
but they introduce into the stretching
and laying on of the fabricated rub
Der that precision and uniformity
which are obtainable only by ma
chinery.
Experience has shown that as a re-
suit of the use of these machines one
tire is almost sure to last as long as
any other
After leaving the machines the core
is removed and with its fabric and
rubber covering, is placed in a mold,
in which the application of pressure
to the two sides squeezes the rubber
fabric tightly, the pressure required
being exerted by hydraulic rams.
While this pressure is being exerted
steam at about 275 degrees tempera-
ture is blown into the vulcanizing YES
sci, and the action of the heat causes
a chemical combination which finishes
the vulcanizing process.
The tire is now ready to receive the

PROFIT IN Low GRADE MINING

The days OF wasteful methods OF

This is not true, however, as some OF
