says
The hotter the weather the more
likely IL one to have trouble with tires.
more especially where a fast pace Ia
maintained. This was very evident
during the Prince Henry tours, re-
marks 4 writer In the Motor News.
where the tires Of the cars which were
driven uniformly fast met with many
bursts, while those which Travelled ar
= reasonable rate had little or no
trouble. The great heat generated UNI
doubtedly affects both fabric and rub
Der, and reduces the cohesion between
the particles. which not only causes
trouble on the road. but permanently
Affects the quality OF tho material
But there Ia another factor which Is
often ignored. and that Is the excess
sive heat causes great expansion of
the air In the tube. and consequently
increases the pressure to such an ex-
tent as to cause undue strain. The
wiso motorist, therefore. will start
with a comparatively low degree OF
pressure in hts tires. and after runninE

shown wonderful work. He scrapes
them IN In the infield as nicely as can

first base like streak OF lightning.
While Bohannon at that bag
handles them to the satisfaction Of
the populace Of Suffolk. who gather
TO applaud him when he scoops up
the bad ones.
Newman says he In satisfied that
he has pitching stafr strong enough
to handle the biggest IN the busi-
ness.
Blue has shown himself something
Of a catcher. while Prout will get

BOX PACKEY AGAIN

NEW YORK, April est won't
rest now until ! get Packey McFar-
land In twenty round bout" declar-
ed Matt Wells today. He attributes
his showing last night against the
Chicago lightweight at the NJ son
Square Garden. to a long illness In

underestimated McFariand's prowess.
II hope we may be matched to fight
on the coast in twenty round contest,
continued the little Britisher. II feel
sure that the outcome would be diff
II rent over the long route. I've got TO
admit that Mcfarland is a mighty
clcs err man. and I have no complaint
to make about our little argument last
night. Mcfarland surprised me: and
hcwiidered me too for q time. Why,
ii was like lighting contipeda. He
seemed to have about twenty hands
