sion of the standings in the United
States League, George Browne. recently

Tire Guarantees Vary
In the Big Cities

Makers are giving greater mileage
guarantees on motor truck tires in some
cities than in other. Tires guaranteed
for 5000 miles in Washington, Indiana
polls and Columbus. are guaranteed only
1000 miles In Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
In other cities the same tires are guar
anteed for only 5000 miles. The same
tires which make 5000 miles in America
are doing over 5000 miles on London
streets in heavy service. The entire
difference, however, is not due to the
roads. The relation of the size of the
tire to the weight and load of the motor
truck are OF primary importance and
sized tires are the poorest economy and
diversified tire equipment a paying in

Johnsons speedy shoots proved too

A Tip on Spark flugs
And Self Starters

A well-posted motorist says a little
extra attention should be paid to the
spark plugs of motor employing an
automatic starter, mainly because the
efficiency of the starting device depends
largely upon the ignition, and II the
plug Is sooted up 1t is not unlikely to
fail to give a spark of the requisite
intensity.
There are those who believe that the
combustion of acetylene has a tendency
to add something to the deposit of car
bon, and this would of course lend addi-
tiSnal urgency to the necessity for
keeping sharp eye on the plugs.
When a starter fails to set the engine
going, IL is safe rule to examine the
spark plugs. One fouled plug often is
the cause of the difficulty.

Motorcycle Runs Prove
Popular With Club Men

The weekly runs of the Washington
Motorcycle Club are proving popular
and will continue throughout the sea-
son. Today's run will be to Marl-
boro, Md. and II the weather and road
conditions permit the two -wheelers"
will continue to Leonardtown. The
club has adopted blue and orange as
the club colors and on all future runs
streamers and rosettes in these colors
will be attached to the handle bars of
each machine. 1t is likely the club
will have a racing team of two riders
in the motorcycle races at Benning
Decoration Day.

Joe Turner. the middleweight WASH

he will curtail his trip in the South in
order to return here to meet Gus
Pappas, the Greek athlete, who claimed
last week that Turner has been evad-
ing a match with him Turner Is ex"
pected to arrive here Wednesday morn
ing. and Manager Peck of the Gayety
Theater has agreed to stage the bout
after the evening performance.
Washington mat followers who wit
messed the bout between Montana and
Pappas last week are pleased with the
style of wrestling the latter presented
and his engagement with Turner should
prove equally interesting both from
spectacular and scientific standpoint.
