GOOD AUTOMOBILES
FROM POOR ROADS
:. R. Albright Says American
Cars Are Better Than
Foreign Product.

1t is curious" said e. r. Albright,
sales manager of the Zimmerman ga
rage, that these bad roads about
which Americans complain so bitterly,
are really one of the causes for the SUI
periority of American automobiles. If
we had smooth, solid highways it is
quite probable that our present mar
velously efficient automobiles would
not have been produced.
"American designers and builders
have been forced to produce cars that
would stand an incredible amount of
punishment Today we look with only
passing interest on records of travel
over roads that few European cars
would dare attempt.
"Take a case / just heard Of One
of our patrons, who drives one of our
new Hudson 'Sixes,' has just returned
from a tour that took him through
Washington, Oregon and California
and down into Mexico. In this trip he
met all kinds of roads, from the
smooth oiled boulevards of Southern
California, to the sand of the Mexican
deserts and the rocks of the many
mountain passes.
"The party consisted of seven per-
sons, with their baggage and necessary
equipment, which was no small load

should say that there is none of about
the same power and size as this Amer
ican machine that could have made
the trip.
"Now there is coming a reaction in
the other direction, and the influence
of the motorists is being exerted for
good roads. So we have the curious
anomaly of the bads roads producing
the good automobiles, and now the
drivers of automobiles are demanding

The bout was a poor one at It's best
1t was witnessed by about $500 men,
who were disappointed, as they ex-
pected to see the Tar Baby put an end
to the white hope aspirations OF the
white youth. Langford was the fav-
orite. He did not display either
speed or vigor.
Smith fought a defensive battle. He
kept away about all the time, refused
to open up, and had evidently been
given some good advice as TO how to
tie Langford up. Gunboat used his
left effectively in that Ii scored points,
and kept his opponent so busy block
ing and ducking that he did not have
many opportunities to lead.
I4angford had the better of four
rounds. the eighth, tenth. eleventh and
twelfth. The others were Smiths by
a considerable margin. He hit Sam
repeatedly without returns, and while
he did no damage, points were scored.

EXCELLENT BILLS AT
ALLLOCAL THEAIERS
GEORGE AFIIsS' CONCEPTION OF
DIsRAELI HIS BEST CONTRIBU-
TTON TO STAGE.

A thoughtful audienqf-only that
sort would appreciate its clever lines
and artful satire-saw George Arliss
and u splendid supporting company IN
Disraeli last night at the Academy OF
Music. and IL other thinking audiences
do not witness the succeeding produc-
tions of the play here. the intellec-
tuai theatergoers of Richmond VIII
have missed the greatest dramatic Of
fering of the year TO date.
Louis y. Parkers four-act comedy
drama deals with the life of historys
most picturesque characters ana
weayes its delightful story around the
most dramatic episode OF his career.
Interest centers from the first act to
the last In the Jewish novelist who
thought in empires and who by his
great talents. spirits and persistency
made the Suez canal a British posses
sion and the queen of England en-
press of India. This character OF Ben
jamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield,
twice chancellor of the exchequer and
finally prime minister of Great Britain,
is superbly acted by Mr.. Arliss. who
gives an i'm PRESERVATION that is delicate
in touch, illuminating and of exquisite
execution. Mr.. ArliSs' conception pr
the character is perhaps little more
smooth than one would expect. but his
keen-witted. satirical Jew. with whom
love of country and love OF wife go
hand-in- glove. are a worthy contribu-
ton to the stage. 1t is decidedly the
best of Mr.. Arliss' career. though he
has done some clever work.
The supporting company was ad-
mirably balanced and thoroughly
capable Margaret Dale as Mrs. Noel
Travers: pretty Violet Heming as Lady
Clarissa. and Florence Arliss as Lady
Beaconfield, and Arthur Elred as Wis
count DeefoPd deserved individual
consideration for their conscientious
work Miss Dales delineation of the
scheming adventures stood out con-
spicuously for its artistic cleverness.
Even the mantle of th< minor roles
are cast upon capable shoulders.
The four acts of the play are superb
ly mounted and the last scene, which
represents a court function at which
the triumph of Disraeli Is being cele-
brated. Is particularly effective.
Mr.. Arliss and his company will give
Richmond three more opportunities to
see Disraeli--tonight. tomorrow matt
nee and again tomorrow night.

RADICAL CHANGES

GUE,RNSEY-THRE REGU-
LARS OUT OF GAME.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. IL
Possible changes In the Yale lineup
for the Harvard game on Saturday
were discussed by the coaches to-
day. The substitution of Guernsey
for Knowles as right halfback and
the possibility of Avery, Pendleton
and Carter being unable to play be-
cause Of physical condition are fac
tors that must be taken into &C
count.
Trainer John Mack believes that
every one will be able to lineup at
Cambridge. For two or three days,
however, 1t will not be certain
whether a change will be advisable
at the last moment or not
Guernsey's work yesterday makes
him seriously considered as a first
strong choice. He punted almost as
well as Knowles, made Yale's single
field goal. and missed two more by
small margins. He struck the Prince
ton as strongly al did Dunn, and
some OF the coaches regard him as a
more valuable player to start the
play.
The coaches do not feel that there
is gruond for criticism in not assign
ing Pumpelly to the role OF pinch
goal kicker yesterday. Guernsey's
goal trying in practice has been a
shade better than that of Pumpelly
since the latter's recent injury. He

is not strong, and in case Guernsey

fiercest hammering 1t has stood up
against this season, Guernsey and
Dunn being alternated in center
drives If the Crimson thirty-yard line
is reached.
