DOINGS IN THE AUTO WORLD
Use of Auto Trucks Becoming More Serviceabe Every
 Day-Auto Touring is Becoming Less Popuar-Gen-

 cycle Race Being Planned for at Sioux City.

The diversity of uses to which auto trucks are put is an indication of the value of the motor truck to the economies of any community. In New Haven auto commercial cars are in the service of a. great firearms maker, a hospital. a florist, two oil companies, a wholesale drug house. two coal dealers, several general truckmen and long distance movers, a speciality manufacturer, two under takers, an ice dealer, a brick manu- facturer, a wholesale meat house, a paint and paper dealer, two laundries. a department store, the police depart ment and a paper box manufacturer, where they are all making good saw ing money for their owners and for their owners customers.
 Apparently there is no limit to the uses to which a reliable motor delivery can be put in doing the work of horses better and cheaper.
 The motor truck is also a direct economizer of mans time. as any man driving a good car can do the work of two or three men driving them available for more directly pro- ducing activities.
 at is said that automobile touring is less popular than formerly. Phys ical and nervous strain from long rides, tire trouble and heavy expense are given as the reasons. This is a pity, for the pleasantest and most healthful way to travel is in the open air." says Glenn A. Tisdale, a New York dealer.
 Long distance travelling by auto- mobile to be successful must be ac- comphshed without fatigue and with out unreasonable cost or annoying tire trouble. This is entirely feasible as trips 200 or even $50 miles a day without taxing the strength of driv- CT or passengers are often made to- day.
 The car to own is an easy riding car of medium size, whether used for long distance travelling, short trips or city work. The expense Is less and

the pleasure is greater.
 The rubber that goes into autonae% bile tires is real, genuine rubber de- spite the jokesmiths who fashion ans ecdotes on the lack of rubber in tires says J. w. Gogarn, general distributor of a tire concern. Rubber used in horse shoe pads and rubber soled shoes may be something else again, but tires have to be made of rubber,
 There is, of course great differ ences in rubber. The wild tough Up River Para" is the best rubber It comes from the Amazon country ok Brazil and is gathered by natives, who alone can stand the wild life and heat Since these natives have little or no use for money and have been surfeit- ed with knives and beads to delight their eye, gathering Up River Para rubber grows more and more difficult
 To meet this situation great plan- tations of rubber trees are being cui- tivated in Ceylon, and in Mexico and while clean and easily harvested this rubber is not so tough and wear re- sisting sthe wild rubber of Brazil which continues to sell in the markets of the world at higher prices.
 At the recent motorcycle meet of ths Indiana Racing Association held at Indianapolis. Ray Creviston- of Mari- on, Ind, was the star of the day. capturing the five-mile, stripped stock, the ten miles open and the mile time trial events.

The New Haven public has had about enough palavering over this stable matter. A neglected stable is sible for, it can be punished. A sta ble is a stable, however. and no nosegay. The fact that it is odorous is not necessarily proof that it Is neglected. It should be possible, by the use of a little common eense, to distinguish between the two classes of stables, and proceed accordingly. AS for stables for which the city is rs- sponsible, the use of a little reason would k1em sufficient to settle that matter.SNew Haven ReEisteE-

The heats were also the three fastest by a three year old trotter. the honor having previously been held oy Lucille Spier, who went them in POT 3-4, POT 1-2 and 21.1 at Grand Rapids last week.

COACH HAWLEY IN
PRETTY ROMANCE
Iowa's Football Leader to
Marry Miss Louise Clarke,
a University Student.

Iowa City, Iowa, Nov. 13.-Jesse B.
Hawley, coach of the University OF
Iowa football team, will step from the
gridiron to the altar soon. He is to
marry Miss Louise Clarke, voted the
most popular girl student at the uni
versity. The ceremony will bring to
a elimination a romance of the col
lege campus, which has been kept
from all except the most infinite
friends of those concerned.
The news of the engagement leaked
out by the announcement of the ap-
preaching party to the members of the
Pi Beta Phi sorority, at which function
the engagement will be formally given
out. The students were not quite GER
tain of it until Miss Clarke herself con-
fessed.
Miss Louise is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles H. Clarke of Des
Moines. Mr.. Clarke is alumni repre-
sentative of the university's athletic
board and for many years has been ac-
lively connected with the school.
Coach Hawley's fiancee has been re-
garded as the most popular girl at the
university and to this she recently
added other laurels by being awarded
a loving cup in a student dancing con-
test at which she took first place with
Harter Hull of Oskaloosa as partner.
She is member of the Pi Phi sorority
and members of several honorary or
CARNATIONS in the school. In scholar
ship she has ranked high.
Coach Hawley came to the univers-
ity at football coach five years ago,
playing his last year at Dartmouth in
1898, when he was picked as all-Amer-
lean half back by eastern critics. He
has developed a team at Iowa which
has grown stronger and stronger

WHITE AND WELSH
Tactics of English Champion
Causes Promoters to Re.
quire Another Match.

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov. 13.-As "a
suit OF senseless squabble over the
referee in their recent unsatIsfac.o-r
battle, Freddie Welsh and CbarI,.
White cannot fight again In Nilu.r.
kee. The promoters there made thu,
announcement yesterday.
Tom Andrews, the chief prorno,er
of the worlds greatest no-decisior
mixup, said:
Harry Pollock, manager OF Welsh
asked for another match, but We did
not consider it. I'm glad it's over
We had trouble a-pIenty with this AZ
fair. Up TO the last minute We did
not know whether the battle would be
pulled off, owing to nonsensical obiec.
tions on this and that
whites guarantee was up-or AZ
least was where l could get my hands
on it--but Welsh. after seesawing and
heehawing around for a week, escap-
ed without putting up forfeit. Thus
if he had backed out OF the fight as
he threatened to do unless We put in
the referee he wanted, we would have
been left in a nice pickle. In the fu
ture, you can bet all fighters will put
up their guarantee if they want to
show in Milwaukee"
Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 13.-Harry
Pollok wants the Milwaukee boxing
promoters to rematch Welsh and
White at weight limit, or under any
conditions that can give Welsh a
chance to meet White again.
Tom Andrews, speaking for the club,
says the two fighters behaved so IN
fairly toward the promoters in the
last fight that he does not care to
bother with another match. He says
each of the fighters at one time or
another threatened to drop out Of the
affair and leave the promoters to face
a heavy loss.
In case of any future fights here he
will insist on forfeits being posted by
both fighters to guarantee him against
loss in case of a row over weights.

Weeghman was reached by tele-

ed made several remarks which con-
firmed the rumor that the sale had
been completed.
The new owner made one statement,
which he attempted 10 correct later,
that intimated that the Chicago Fed

ally was purchasing the West Side
team. The conversation with Weegh-
man follows:
"Mr. Weeghman, has the deal for

asked if the story to the effect that

a lease it was matter which Mr..
Taft and Mr.. Murphy would have to
settle, as he was not interested in any

Weeghman refused to say when he
