skeptical of the economy of motor wagons

been reached quickly and fixed It would
have been another story. Another thing
which tended to give the motor truck a

In fact, bearings all over the car, were too
small to withstand the hard wear. uemen-

were subjected. and the result was short

TO the general public the gaselene COM
nercial cars of to-day are pretty much the
same as last year. but there is a vast
Improvement in details that can be dis
covered easily by close observation. And
on the details depends to a great degree
the success or failure of a car from the
point of view of reliability and economy.
Up to a year or so ago the commercial car
was not much of a success.
Chief among the faults of the CONNER
cial car that has hindered its progress has
been fnaccessibility of parts. The best en-
gineers have contended that the first thing
to be considered in designing a truck was
TO attach the different vital parts to one
another so that within a few minutes any
part could be taken away without disturb
ing any other part, and that until this
was done, without sacrificing strength or
adding weight, the design was not correct

transmission went wrong from some cause.

William Cragin, the playing through

form by scoring two matches. In his first
he met Charles NJ. Amerman, who was
unsuccessful, despite brilliant manPuvring
at close range. Amerman won only four
games, as Cragin scored at 60, e.. The

Arthur Cragin, in the sem-finaI The lat
ter. understanding the tendency of the
champion TO overdrive, cleyerly put his
skill at changing pace to the test. His
work in this respect was far beyond the
ordinary. The champion, however, after
experiencing a session at driving and
smashing the ball beyond the court lines
met his oppouent's strategy with equally
clever manoeuvring. Gradually he worked
the ball high on his returns, until Arthur
Cragin began to smash wildly. All the

finally landing IN the final bracket by a
narrow margin, although in straight sets.
