MOTORCYCL|STS
MAKE GOOD TIME
No Records Fall at Fair Grounds,

thing OF a ra5hle OF battle-mad play
ers rushing upon the official Is entire
ly out or line.
Furthermore IL never gets anything
save benchings. which weaken the
team and hurt the game from the
spectators standpoint.
Here are a few of the objections to
promiscuous team protests:
]. They never get results
The number of times an umpire
has reversed himself in the last
decade can be counted on the
fingers OF one hand. Then the
reversals were the result or
differing ruling by an associate
umpire.
9. They weaken teams through
removal of players from the game
by the official.
8. They incense the umpire
and cause him TO unconsciousiy
favor one or r1Ie other club
4. They incite the fans TO dan
gerous degree of sympathy, at
times, inducing pop-bottle throw
ing. disorder and even riots.
5. They greatly delay the prog
ress of the game by pauses for
useless argument with the Off
cial.
s. They promote loss of tenn
per on the part of team members,
thus interfering with the normal
play OF the men.
Z Coming unfortunately and
for every slight cause. they weak

the captain. His men could have the
right of appeal TO him, in case they
saw a play invisible TO him. This
protest should be made not with the
idea OF an immediate change OF rul-
ing, but TO establish grounds for a
plea To the powers 10 have the game
set aside.
This would eliminate all petty COM
plants for trifes that might have no
serious bearing on the result, and
would entirely take out OF the game
the unseemly jawing matches and
threatening demonstrations which al
most daily offend the eyes OF fans,
rien and women. 1t would put the
sport on purely baseball basis, in
stead of the half-baseball, half-vaude-
Vile atmosphere it owns today.
OF course, this would not take
away from the fan his inalienable
right to root and boot. II might de-
price him OF the proper cue, for the
poor fan doth oft depend upon the
demonstration by the player as 10
finding his proper, moment for con-
demning the umpire. But so far as
he found opportunity TO exercise his
lungs on the umpire the privilege
would still remain
Perhaps ii is true that many Of the
fans like these little human interests

vile feature tempers TO the bored

along at the rate OF a mile n minute
are made OF paper. This opportunity
to be alarmed occurs. however. on
only the best OF railways. as pane,
car wheels. though safer and longer
lived than any others. are also more
expensive. The principal advantage
OF wheels made from this unpromisins
material Is found In the fact that they
are not injured by the violent vIbra.

IL Is sent TO the car wheel shops 10

to forty inches In diameter. and over
each OF these sheets is spread an even
coating OF four paste. A dozen sheets
are placed one on the other and the
lot subjected TO hydraulic pressure OF
500 tons or more. After two hours
pressure these sheets. which have now

Beware OF the hatcher that has not

closing slides during Incubation for
ventilation is a brain storm operation
that In case OF failure creates a tech
