LEWIS EASY

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, May 2s. -Welterweight
Willie Lewis is thoroughly convinced to-
day Of a fact that New York fight fans
think he should have anown before enter
ing the Natinal Sporting Clubs ring last
night with Stanley Ketchell; 10 Wit That
he hadn't dead mans chance against
the middleweight champion.
Ketchel put over right clip on VIII
lies jaw in the second round and later
in the night he feebly remarked to one
of his attendants; Il thought they said it
would not hurt when Hsley's comet
struck the earth"
Lewis appeared almost as heavy as
Ketche and was in dne Trim. but he did
not reckon sufficiently on the terrib e
kick that Kethel carries around in
either glove. The first round served only
to awaken Ketchel and he lost no time in
dealing out a sleep powder to his over
ambitious antagonist in tho second. The
people who paid as nigh as $15/to wit
ness the bout felt that Stanley should
have given them moro OF a run for their
money.

in each of these cases the ratio of the
stroke to diameter is about one, show
ing that the motor has a short stroke.
on the other hand the engine which is
heaviest per horse power, &c pounds,
has a long stroke. Only three out of
the entire number have a stroke more
than an inch longer than the bore.
IAN automobile motor can not be
called long stroke unless it has a
6-inch or 7-inch stroke with 3 1-2
inch or inch bore. With such a
motor many find more disadvantages
than advantages. The proportionate
increase in necessary weight in both
engine and chassis is far greater than
the increase in power. Many parts OF
the mechanism must be made heav-
Ter to withstand the increase in tor
que
"An engine having bore and stroke
nearly equal, as in the case of the
Franklin, is advocated as the most
powerful for its weight that can be
produced. The reason for its low
weight is that it can be built with
shorter connecting rods, shorter, lower
cylinders, smaller crank case and
lighter fly wheel. With lower cylin-
ders the center of gravity is lowered
With a short lever arm the stress on
gears. universal 'oints and drive shaft
- much less The motor can be
cranked more easily and accelerated
more quickly. It is more flexible be-
cause it has greater possible variation
in revolutions than has a long stroke
motor. A higher speed can be main
tanned because the short stroke motor
makes a greater number of revolutions
for any given distance which the pis-
ton travels"

LONG and SHORT
STROKE MOTORS
Relative Values are Pointed
Out by Franklin Company
President

Many people, automobilists includ-
ed, have a wrong impression about the
relative value of long stroke and short
stroke motors" IS a statement made
by President II. II. Franklin of the H.
III. Franklin Manufacturing Company
who adds: "A saving in weight
economy of fuel and ability to attain
higher speed are some of the char
acteristics which make the short stroke
better suited to automobile work
Some have the idea, it must be ex-
planned, that any motor is a long
stroke motor If the stroke is longer
than the bore, even if it is only an
inch or a fraction of an inch longer,
as it is in one type of the Franklin
automobiles. The Franklin motor car
of eighteen horse power has 3 3-S
inch bore with a stroke SIS inch long
er. On the Franklin cars Of twenty
eight and forty-two horse power the
engine has 4 Ia inch bore and A.
inch stroke. These are all short stroke
motors, as are those made by all
American manufacturers with possi-
bly, one or two exceptions.
"As indicating the relative weight
OF the two kinds Of motors a COM
parison may be made between air
ship motors. These are extremely
light and in many cases are air-cooled,
like the Franklin. Figures compiled
for twenty-four aeroplane motors, Civ
ing bore, stroke, weight of motor
weight of engine per horse power and
ratio Of stroke to diameter OF piston,
show that the long stroke motors have
the greatest weight per unit of power
developed. In several of the makes
the weight of the engine per horse
power is less than four pounds. and
