REQ WINS RELIABILITY
RUN IN PENNSYLVANIA

One of the most strenuous motor re-
liability runs was finished at Harris
burg, Pa, recently in which a REQ
"4-3O' driven by Earl Kimmel evolved
the winner The REQ finished with a
perfect score and on the rigid final
physical examination it beat all cars
in it's class by good margins. This car
is the forty-second car of this model
turned out at the factory. 1t had a
record of 10000 miles before the start
of the contest and arrived at the finish
with as perfect a score as any car in
the run. This REQ was secondhand
when George G. Mcfarland bought it,
on November 9, 1909, and for this
reason the technical committee went
over the car three times before award
ing it first place in its class for per-
feet road score, a perfect brake test
a perfect curb test and for the best
physical test of any car in its class.
There were tWenty-one starters in the
four divisions, ranging in price from
$12O1 to $4,000, the REQ being in the
lowest price division.
The start was from Harrisburg and
the route was via York, HagerstoWn,
Greencastle, Chambersburg, back to
Harrisburg, to Lebanon, Pottsville,
Shamokin, Lykens, through the rough
est coal regions in this section and
ending at Harrisburg. The distance
was 404 miles over some of the rock
lest and hilliest country in this state.
The schedule , for the first day was
twenty miles per hour and eighteen
miles per hour for the second day. This
is the same model REQ with which L.
L. Whitman on August S-1S lowered
the worlds record between New York
and san Francisco by nearly FIVE days.

COOMBS USED NERVE TO
MAKE HIT WITH CONNIE
Manager MaCk's Prediction of
Recruits Success Proved

NEW YORK, Dec. 1o-Walter Burnham,
former owner and manager of the Newark
team of the Eastern league tells this story
about Jack Coombs the Athletics pitcher,
who had so much to do with winning the
worlds championship from the Cubs:
Jack" says Burnham. 'is a Maine prod
uct and began pitching rural teams when
Cy eYoung was doing his best work for the
Boston Americans. Like every other New
England phenom Of those days, the name
Cy was applied to him, and 1t as
a. Coombs tina, Connie Mack heard of him
whe he was pitching for Colby college.
MACK watched the collegian's career and
sent scouts to look him over. The result
was that IN 1905 Coombs started for Phila-
delphia to Join the Athletics. He reached
philadelphia at noon. Getting into uniform
he warmed up before the game. After the
contest Mack was sitting in his office talking
with me when Coombs entered.
Are you planning to work me tomor-
row% the ex-Colby student asked, without
Manager Mack paused and then replied
in the negative.
We'll, I thought I would ask you. Mr.
Mack, because I intend to go to the theater
tonight OF course, II you were going to
use me tomorrow I shouldn't do anything that
would put me out of condition
when Manager Mack had repeated his as
sertlon Coombs went out, and Mack, turning
to me- said:
recruit? Then as If struck suddenly by
the other side Of the episode, he added;
say, Walter, I like that fellows nerve
He's 5 :. the idea that makes for success in
baseball or anything else, and some day he
will be one of the stars Of my pitching staff

NEW YORK. Dec. 10.-With Colum-

Princeton as members, the Intercolleg-
late Basketball league, after being dis
banded for two years starts its re-
vived tournament December II.
The old schedule of games. whereby
each team met that of every other col
lege twice has been adopted. G. j:
Hoppe of Philadelphia is the donor OF
a silver cup for the league champion
ship, which will become the permanent
property of the team winning it three
times.
The officers of the intercollegiate
league this year are: President, K. b.
Hyatt, Yale; secretary treasurer,
Ralph Morgan, Pennsylvania; execu-
tive committee, C. w. Cuthell, Colum-
bia; c. V. Young, Cornell, and w. W.
Roper, Princeton.
Practically the same rules that gov

will be in force again. The only I'M
portant change is a rule disqualifying
a player after he has been charged
with four individual fouls, instead of
five as heretofore.

SWEDES TO INACCURATE
AMBIDEXTR0US METHODS

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-As the con-
ditions now stand it Is understood that
the Swedes are going to inaugurate
the ambdextrous rule at the next
Olympic games That is in such field
events as the discus, javelin, shot and
hammer the competitors will have to
throw with the right and left hands,
the throws with each to be added, the
distance achieved to be the athletes
performance This may be all right
for the Swedes, but what purpose II
serves to be ambldextrous at putting
the shot or other weight events is hard
to understand.
Since Milo of Croton showed his great
prowress at pitching the discus at
Athens, and Polydamus of Thessalia
exhibited his wonderful accuracy at
aiming the javelin men threw things
with one hand, and 1t is their one
single effort that has been recorded
Every man has master hand, the
same as he possesses master eye
In athletic exercises, where the hand Is
mostly used, the performer at all times
makes use of the better of the two.
Some men use the left hand, but the
majority use the right. but the man
is always sure to bring into play the
one with which he has the more power,
and it is a fact worth remembering
that meh all over the world today who
specialize in field events have to de-
velop one hand or one leg and keep
continually practicing with that one to
maintain their places in the front rank
of athletics.
That some athletes are endowed with
a master leg, or one leg which Is better
than the other, is certain, and 1t does
not follow that right-handed man
always finds his right leg the strongest
One notable case worth mentioning Is
Ite,h o.
record of "a feet 11A inches. He is a
right-handed man, yet he always took
off with the left leg.
If this ambideXtrous rule is allowed
to prevail at Stockholm, 1t may cause
lots of confusion to the Americans, the
English and other nations that are old
in the practice OF track and field sports.
OF course, there is a long time for
men to get acquainted with this new
wrinkle, and maybe the English and
other nations that will have word to
say about the Anal makeup of the
program may have this rule eXpunged.
If it is not, then the world may as
we'll begin to accustom itself to the
conditions.
In that case it might be consistent
to have jumping contests. the jumpers,
to take off with the right and again
with the left, and to have races first
with the right side to the track and
to run the same distance with the left
side in. 1t would be also well that
fencers should be made to use the right
and left hands, and that marksmen of
all classes should sight with the right
and left eyes in all their contests.
The introduction of this new rule to
the Olympic meet illustrates the ridic-
ulous things possible to green devotees
in track and field sports when they get
the ship hand of management in an
international affair. ple Swedes are
ten years old in athletics and are even
vet trying to learn what other people
have known for generations, yet the
first chance they get they introduce
something which is only step back
ward.

Claim 1t Was Not Legally In

Revenue Law

On the ground that it was not le-

enue law passed by the last legisla-

cided to contest the payment of the
state tax OF one-fourth of one mill,
levied for the support Of the common

The provision for levying such a
tax was not in the bill as originally
passed by the house. but was insert
ed in the senate by Senator Camp

concur in several Of the senate amend
ments, including that one, and the
senate journal shows that after con
ference the senate voted to recede
from those amendments.
In some way the amendment for
the one-fourth mill levy got into the
enrolled bill, which was signed by the
presiding officers Of the two houses
and by the governor. The question
