Veteran Army Man Turns in
Brilliant Performance in
Second Round of Play for
Men Over S. Years of
Age.

RYE, N Y, Sept A.-More than 200
senior golfers turned their attention to-
day to the second round of the S6-hole
competition for men of So years of age
or more on the Apawamis links.
1t happened that those who came In
early did well despite the strong sun and
almost sitting heat. The best gross per-
formancc UP to late hour today was
the 50 of General Il. NJ Weaver, of Chevy
Chase Washington, d. c. There were
several brilliant spots on the army mans
cards. such as the three on the eighth,
the four on the ninth, which is a rarity
there, the three on the tenth and an
other at the sixteenth.
He got into the brook on the four
teenth. His four at the ninth was espe-
cially good, for the hole is 6R yards long.
He was on in three full shots and ran
down 12-foot putt
His card:

A little later Frank A. Wright. of

so brilliant in spots.

James D. Foot, chairman of the COM
mittee. had a chance to get into the
gross prize division, but his drive on the
seventeenth hit some hard substance In
the fairway and bounded off to the right.
When the golfers came up, the ball was
wedged between wild cherry sapling
and a stone wall about foot off the
ground 1t was unpayable, and Foot had
to take 1t out and lose two strokes. He
took for the hole.

Little Twombly Car, 1t Is
Claimed, VIII Be Able
to Cut Present
Charges in Half.

Taxicab users in New York and other
American cities will be glad to hear
that relief from high taxicab rates is
in sight, and that within few months
small taxicabs will be available for
which the charge will be 20 cents for
the first mile and five cents for each
additional quarter of mile, as against
the present rates Of so cents mile
for the first mile and 90 cents for the
second.
Many persons have tried their hands
at reforming the taxicab situation, but
it remained for W. Irving Twombly to
design a vehicle which not only seems
to meet the wants of the taxicab using
public, but is also so light In weight,
simple mechanically, and cheap in price
and operating cost that 1t also meets
the exacting requirements Of the taxi
cab service companies.
Mr.. Twombly, who made careful
study and analysis of the taxicab stu
alton both here and abroad and has
been working steadily on the matter
for three years, decided that the pres.
ent taxicabs weighed too much and
that it was absurd to employ heavy
vehicle to haul one or two passengers.
With this idea in view, he has de-

No Hockey Team for the
New York Athletic Club

Baker, as it is understood that Hill at
coverpoint has returned 10 Cornell.
The latter was one Of the best men on
the Santa Claus team last year. Pea
body, who played left wing, is some
where in South America and is not
expected back in town. Young Ellis Is
full of the war fever and is anxious 10
join one of the Canadian regiments
leaving for active service in Europe.
The Crescent Athletic Club will have
20 build up a new team this winter.
Cox, the former Yale player, Is looking
with loving eyes toward the st. Mich
olss Club. He lives In New Jersey, near
several Of the other ST. Nicholas play
ers. Naturally, he Is anxious 20 play on
the same team as his friends.
Hallock, the Stevens Prep sehoolboy,
who cid we'll for the Crescents last
winter, Is now at Pswling School, and
although he may play 9 few games. he
hardly will be in condition to stand the
strain OF long season.
The Hockey Club Of New York has
its usual team. II is understood that
Britton, White, Lewis, Fredericks and
Mackenzie are all ready 20 play. While
the Irish-American Athletic Club may
not back team, II lie more than likely
that the Winged Fist players will ba
seen in the championship series. Ne
word has ss yet been heard from the
Wanderers. However, IL is a question
IL they will be in the league race this
year.

MARANVILLE SET
A FIELDING MARK
Accepted $50 Chances in
Games During Past
Season.

II any proof were needed Of the ex-
ceptional speed Of Walter Msfanville.
shortstop Of the Boston Braves, the
evidence might be found in the fielding
averages for the season which has just
closed. The rabbit" did not lead the
shortstops. OF the regulars, both Wag-
ner and Jack Miller topped him, but
Meanwhile In t66 games accepted $50
chances. The best previous mark for
the number of chances accepted by a
shortstop was $50, which was made
twenty-five years ago by Allen, of the
Phillies.
Meanwhile made more errors than
many of the shortstops In the National
League, but this is easily explained on
account of the amount of ground he
covered. No less than 572 assists were
credited to him. Fletcher always has
been considered a wide roaming short
stop, but his record of assists last sea-
son was only 4S3. The best that Wsg-
ner could do was 456.
But not content with one marvel
Boston produced another. iris Speaker,
centre fielder of the Red Sox, shattered
record on his account. Speaker
handled 466 chances. The best pre-
vious record for an outhelder belonged
to Slagle, Of the Cubs, who accepted
424 chances in 1899. Some realization
of Speakers ground covering sbiilty
NAV be had from q comparison OF MS
record With that of Clyde Milan, speed
lest of the Senator'S. In 15S games
Speaker made APT put-outs. In ITO
Milan made exactly $50.
The only man who came within one
hundred Of Speakers put-out record
was Bert Shotten, Of the Browns, who
CAPTURED 359 flies in 165 games. Speak
er's superiority in throwing was al
most as manifest, as he made 20 as
sists, compared to 81 for Harry Hooper.
of the Red Sox, his nearest throwing
rival in the league.
Perhaps the most worthy rival for
Iris Speaker was George Burns, in the
National League. Playing most Of the
time in left field where the number Oh
chances Is slightly less than in centre,
Burns in l54 games made 1923 put-outs.
He threw out % men.

Taxicdb Rates Will Be
Lowered by New Vehicle

signed a strong, light car, which weighs
only 1,400 pounds, and is driven by a
small but efficient motor Of only II
horse power The cab will seat two
persons outside of the driver. who sits
in central position in front, and the
passengers have q clear view IN front
on either side Of them.
The Twombly tsyicab has a 100-inch
wheel base and 44-inch tread, which
gives ample room for two passengers
seated side by side. That it is practical
as well as 9 correctly designed vehicle
is indicated by the fact that W. II. Bar
nard, one of the biggest taxicab oper-
ators in this city, has ordered hun
bred of these vehicles 70 start with,
and will add to them as fast as the
Nutley, N. j., factory of the Twombly
Car Corporation, their builders, can
turn them out.
Some people claim that IL will be
impossible to operate cabs at such a
low rate, but all of this has been
carefully figured out. One tire com
pany has offered to guarantee its tires
on these vehicles at the rate Of five
eighths Of cent per mile, and as gaso-
lene and oil figure out at the rate or
less than one cent q mile, 1t can be
readily seen that the cabs can be
operated at fair profit to their own
ere. One of the most remarkable feat
ures Of the new Twombly taxicab IS
the one-man landaulette top, which
transforms the car from an open 70 a
closed vehicle, or vice versa, in thirty
seconds time.

CARING FOR MAGNETIC
Give 1t Oil and Let II Alone, Is
Advice of Expert.

A magnetic will thrive on insttention
and Kindness will kill 1t, according TO
Lee c. Carlton, assistant chief engineer
of the Bosch Magnetic Company, IN
lecture delivered on Thursday at the
West Side Y. NJ. c. A. The lecture
marked the opening of new term OF
the automobile school. Mr.. Carlton
said:
zone or two drops Of oil for every
thousand miles that the car Is run Is
plenty for the magnetic. Any more than
that will only run off In the overflow.
Any good, thin bodied oil will do.
"You pay more for your magnetic than
Won do for your watch. II your watch
goes wrong you take it to Jeweller.
If the magnetic goes wrong you take IL
down into the cellar and use a hammer
on il. You only ruin the magnetic. You
can't repair it. That requires special
tools, and only the manufacturer has
them"
MIR. Carlton gave the following test
for finding ignition trouble:
"Take the spark plugs out, lay them
on the cylinders with the wires sui
connected to them, and then nave some
one turn the engine over rapidly Ii no
spark occurs in the plugs clean ana
adjust the interruptor points ana re-
peat the test. . .
Sif there is still no spark, connect a
wire to the high tension collector brush
and hold the end Of it near any metal
mart of the engine, while the motor IS
being cranked, and If the spark occurs
in this test, the trouble is in the as
tributor brushes. If there is stun no
spark after these tests. take the mag
neto back to the manufacturer. he Is
the only man who can repair 1t.

DODGE PLANT GROWS
New Buildings Make 1t Third
Largest in Detroit.

Ground has been broken at the big
Detroit plant of Dodge Brothers for
additions TO their already extensive
group of factory buildings. At present
the plant has more than eighteen acres
Of floor space, and with the addition Of
the new buildings five more acres will
be added The largest Of the new
buildings will be known as the pressed
steel shop. This building will be 400
feet long, n feet wide and four stories
high, though the walls and foundations
are designed with a strength to carry
ultimately six stories.
To give access to the new building
from the new assembling plant the
latter will be extended 1S9 feet at its
east end, giving it total length OF
about 1.065 feet. A wing will be built
from il spanning the loading platform,
railroad tracks and driveways to con-
meet with the south end Of the pressed
steel shop. The pressed steel shop Will
have an area of about 10000 square
feet, while there will be about 10000
square feet in the extension to the as
sembling building and the wing. -,
Additions to the Office building Will
make that structure nearly eight times
larger than formerly. At present tho
Office building Is two story structure,
i16x52 feet. Alterations under way
will make II four story building,
320x72 feet. Il is estimated the cost
OF the pressed steel shop and office
building will be about S650,000. with
the new buildings Dodge Brothers will
be one of the three largest automobile
plants in Detroit.

HOBBY Baker to Play on the
St. Nicholas Seven
Plans for the Com
ing Season.

There is no possible chance OF the
New York Athletic Club placing team
in the race for the championship OF the
Amateur Hockey League this winter.
The announcement comes as q great
disappointment to the executive COM
mittee of the league, which had hoped
that the club again would be repre-
scented on the ice. The withdrawal OF
the Mercury Foot seven last winter
left little interest in the race for the
metropolitan championship.
How many teams will enter the race
Is still mystery. The 81. Nicholas
Hockey Club, holder Of me title, will
be represented by a strong seven.
Hobey Baker, one of the greatest hook.
ey players ever developed in the United
States, will be with the Santa Claus
club. Baker learned the game at st.
Paul's School. For the last few sea-
sons he has been the star OF the
Princeton team.
The advent OF Baker into metropon-
tan hockey will help the sport. He Is
q sensational player who is exception
ally popular with the fans. There Is a
dash 70 his game that is treat to wit
Less, and as a result the rink always Is
crowded whenever HOBBY appears on
the ice. He would be particularly ell
fective in the six man game that may
again be seen this winter.
The 81. Nichols, team VIII need
