The players are still strong in the belief that they will win the pennant in spite of their failure to show pennant form for a large part of the season. Nevertheless they are ahead and think they will stay there Even if they don't they think they can regain first place. They have eight more games with Bos- ton and regard those conflicts as good place to make up lost ground. to say nothing of getting even for their recent trimming by. the Braves. s.

Johnny Rsimey, whose entry in the
National Capital Motorcycle Clubs mo-
tor races at Benning on May 30 has
Just been received, will drive the speedy
Case Comet racing machine in COM
petition with Eddie Hearne ana Joe
Clearey. This is a specially constructed
six-cylinder racing car that is said to
be capable of doing about ITO miles an
hour. Raimey is the third driver Of
national reputation to enter the WASH
ington meet, and his entry removes all
houbt as to the quality of the races that
will be held on Memorial Day.
Raimey has probably figured in As
many spills as any other driver follow
ing the motor racing game on circular
tracks. and carries many scars as re-
death. His machine has turned over five
times in four years, and every time was
picked up for dead, but in ever case
escaped with a few broken bones and
was never so seriously injured as to be
laid up for any length Of time.
Raimey started the racing season Of
1913 driving an Ohio car, but experienced
a wreck in the far West which COM
PEELED him to remain out of the racing
game until fall. His best year was 1872
when he wound up the season on the
dirt course at San Antonio, Tex, de-
feating Barney Oldfeld and several
other celebrated speed drivers

GOODYEARS CUT COST
OF BLOCK TRUCK tires
Increasing Demand Results in Redue-
ton of 5 Per Cent
in Price.
QUALITY SECRET OF SUCCESS

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany has just announced a reduction of
approximately per cent in the price
OF Goodyear Individual block motortruck
tires.
This was made possible by the con-
stantly increasing demand for this type
of tire by motortruck operators. Raising
the production volume lowered the cost
to an extent sufficient to warrant the
decrease in selling price which puts the
block tire on the same basis as the end
less tire A truck owner can now buy a
block tire at the same price he would
have to pay for demountable or press
ed-on tire.
The success that has attended this
Goodyear block tire since its introduc-
ton on the market, about two years ago.
is explained by the fact that II is the
only block tire that can truly be called
individual" Each block Is a unit and
is held to the wheel by individual plates
and bolts making 1t a simple job to re-
move or replace any block on the wheel
without molesting any of the others. A
block tire can be changed in a very few
minutes with practically no loss of run
ming time to the truck.
The block tire has positive traction
and unparalleled nonskid qualities.

OLDFIELD IS PRIMED
FOR THE BIG CONTEST
In Practice Spin the Speed King
Averaged Eishty-four Miles
an Hour

From records which are being made in
early practice at the Indianapolis Speed
way. it looks as II II would take some
remarkably fast driving to win the big
prize there at the international race,
Decoration Day.
Barney oldfeld, on Sunday. May 10.
made some great time in his Stutz. Be-
fore an interested crowd Of over 250o
spectators. Barney tore up the track in
his old-time form. running S. miles with
out q stop at an average speed of 81 miles
per hour. His last lap was covered at
the rate of SSH miles per hour. As usual
he drove on Firestone tires.
These figures are particularly signih-
cant when 1t Is realized that Goux won
the race last year at an average speed Of
1876 miles per hour In 1872 the race was
won by Dawson in his National at the
rate Of 7s72 miles per hour. In the first
race, back In 1911, Harroun won at-the
rate Of H.6 miles per hour. Both Har-
roun and Goux won on Firestone tires.
Everything points to q record-breaking
attendance this year and also an unusu-
ally speedy lineup Of drivers.
