HOW OVERLAND
BRAKE DRUMS ARE
HAMMERED OUT
Monster Punch Press Cuts Them
Out with Thousand-TOn Blow
from Sheet Of Steel.
WHERE EXPENSES ARE SAVED
Only Big Manufacturers Able to
Make Small Parts Cheaply,
SAYS John N. WHY'S.

THE average buyer OF an automobile
has no conception OF what production
OF fifty thousand cars i'm year really
means but II he would consider one small
part OF the vehicle he would get some
idea Of the task which large manufactnr-
ers lay out for themselves annually said
John y. WHY'S. president OF tho Willvs-
Overland Company. OF Toledo Ohio, in a
conversation at the automobile show veg
terday.
ITO the average person the brake drum
on an Overland IS merely decorau a
sort OF setting. as II were. for backing
up the rear wheels. AS a matter OF fact.
the brake drum is one Of the most inn
portant parts OF the car. and its cost is
q big item in Overland construction ac-
counts.
Overland brake drums are made OF a
special sheet steel, three-siXteenths OF an
inch thick This material comes 10 our
factory IN large plates weighing several
hundred pounds each. II the drums. az
they finally appear OH the car were
formed out of this sheet by hand. or by
the old style machinery We formerly
used. their cost would be prohibitive, for
II would require the services Of great
many workmen 10 turn out the four hun
dred we use every day. As II Is. we have
invested in a great punch press, ma
chine weighing 1919 tons. which punches
out and forms the drums in a single
operation and is capable of producing four
hundred of them a day without the least
sign of hurry or crowdng.
This ponderous machine stands neatly
ten feet high. 1t eXerts a pressure of
100000 pounds. or 100 tons, when in
operation. A specially constructed die is
forced down through the sheet Of steel,
cutting out a circular piece, which is then
forced down over a circular form. When
the machine returns the die 10 It's orig
inal position, the complete brake drum,
10 inches I'm diameter and with a 2-inch
face, is left complete except for drilling.
The drilling is done on a special press
which makes holes for the bolts by which
the drum is held rigid on the wheel hub.
The advantages of this big machine
are denied TO any but the largest manu-
facturer. for the plant which is turning
out only few cars a year could not df-
ford TO make the necessary investment.
The cost of the machine is 20 great that
il would amount 10 several dollars for
each car in the small factory. With our
production of fifty thousand Overlands a
year. the cost per car is so small that 1t
is almost a negligible quantity"

~ FORGE KIRCHER, the only V comedian of the Southern O league, is here depicted enter taining the fans with his stunts on the coaching lines. The tightwire act, all ways a favorite with the player come dians, comes in for a fair inning with Kircher. for President Kavanaugh has put taboo on more strenuous comedy acts. The auto stunt, here showing his abrupt departure from the steering wheel following a sharp turn, is his best mirth provoker. Kircher's expe- rience in his auto is a gem in panto- mine Especially when he begins his love affair, attempting to cuddle his fair companion and steer the machine at the same time, with result of fail ure
 The bottom illustration shows Kir- cher imploring Capt Harry Welchonce not to clean up the bases While his pleading to the gods and driving his machine are his favorite stunts, Kir- cher is funny with his dice shooting antics and shadow boxing.

KNISELY IS TIED WITH M'COR- MICK FOR FIRST PLACE%JUD DALEY BREAKS INTO 300 RANKS

Twenty hitters are batting over the 300 mark in the Southern. Pete Knise- ly the Baron outfielder, is tied with Manager Mccormick of Chattanooga for the supremacy, while Charlie Car roll Is running third. Knisely has reg istered the greatest number of runs. Sloan, the leading Nashville hitter, is pressing Kirby.
 Montgomery has at last gained place among the 300 hitters. Jud Daley has recovered his old stride and is slugging .314. Captain Mullen of Mem phis has broken in the ranks of the worthies and is biffing at a .3O5 clip. New Orleans has not a single 300 marksman.
 Atlanta cherishes six 300 hitters- Welchonce, Tyree Holland, Long, Kir- cher and Mcconnell. Chattanooga. Memphis and Mobile have three each. Nashville and Birmingham possess two while Montgomery has the Hon. Jud- son Daley.
 Here are the players who are hitting 300 or better through the games played Thursday. July 10:

Kircher recalls the fact that it has been many days since the Southern has boasted of comedian. Hub Per- due, although one of the most serious twirlers in the game when he graced the mound, may be recalled as the funniest fellow in the Southern. Hubs stunts did not include an imaginary auto, but he was a bear at walking the tight rope, shadow boxing and selling peanuts. Hub once was ban ished at Redwood for appearing on third base line with two red lanterns and a parasol

ARTHUR JOHNSON LEADS
 BARON FLINGING CORPS
Walker and Townsend Tied for Lead of SouthernWalke Leads in Strikeouts-An Four Baron Pitchers
 Over the 300 Mark

Arthur Johnson, the lanly Baron twirl- CT, is leading the Birmingham mounds men. His rangy arms have twirled eight victories and have lost but five, giving him a percentage of .615. Omar Hard grove, despite his recent slump, ranks second, with nine victories and six re- versals, while Curley Brown is third with nine and seven. Dick Robertson, with 12 and 10 Is fourth in rank.
 Dminutive Dick is the iron man of the pitching corps, for he has participated in 26 encounters, although Johnson has worked in 24. Robertson has twirled 1S7 innings, 26 more than the next Baron. Curley Brown is the leading strikeout artist, for he has whipped 65. Robertson
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-07-12

has yielded the greatest number of hits and runs Johnson has contributed the largest number of walks, 57 in "A games. He also ranks first in scoring wild pitches and hitting batsmen.
 Dixie Walker and Lefty Townsend are deadlocked for the lead of the league, each moundsman having 10 victories and four losses. The crippled New Orleans pitcher has three ties to his credit one more than any other twirler. Walker leads in strike-outs, having 134 in 20 games, an average of oxer six a game. Weaver has given the greatest number of passes, while Black, the over-worked Montgomery southpaw. has yielded the most runs and hits
