ST. MARY'S Want Game
and less PAPER TALK

Sport Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
notice in this mornings paper that
Chesrook Jrs. still continue their paper
talk about the llO-pound football
championship. While their claim IS
based on the fact that they defeated us
once with three Chesrook first play
ers) we base ous claim on our showing
for the entire season. We played no
team twice, while they played but five
games, three Of which were played
against Wilmington Academy, and the
other against Highland Neither OF these
teams has the strength Of some OF the
teams we have played, such as New
Castle and Pennsgrove High. All TINS
paper talk will never settle the cham
pionship auestion \ championship was
never won on paper. We have as mucf
right to the championship as Chesrook
and as they took exception to our clam
it is up to them to play Us.
We hope Chesrook Jrs may read tins
and get busy and arrange game iol
saturday. The result will set at rest al
this paper talk. Yours in sport,
James Brannan,
Manager st. Mary's.

BOULDEN Sees SUCCESS
FOR The Chase TRUCK

II. T. Boulden. general director of
the sales force, both domestic and ex-
port, of the Chase Motor Truck Com
pany, was in this city last week, the
guest of w. A. Mintzer. sales manager
of the Delmar Automobile Co., Del
aware State distributors for Chase mo-
for trucks. Mr.. Boulden has toured
great deal of the United States dur
ing the past few months, especially in
the eastern States, and he speaks in
the most optimistic terms of the out
look for future business He saw moth
ing but good times ahead everywhere.
and believes that America is just en-
tering upon one of the greatest per-
iods OF industrial prosperity that this
country has ever Witnessed. Mr..
Boulden says he judges the tone of
general business by experience of his
own company, which is now so com
pletely taken up with the home de-
mand for the Chase produce that IL is
not seeking any foreign trade what
ever and will not consider war orders
class delivery wagons. Mr. Boulden
figures that there must be a wonder
full improvement in business condi-
tions setting in everywhere for bust
ness concerns would not be increas-
ing there motor delivery equipment
to such an extent unless there was a
very positive prospect for a need for
it in the immediate future.
Mr.. Boulden, while here, congratu.
lated Mr.. Mintzer on the big increase
I in the trade in Chase wagons and
trucks in Delaware, where the motor
delivery is being rapidly installed in
every line of trade. Chase trucks
we're pioleers in this field, and
through their sterling merit and the
push and enterprise of the Chase
Company is advertising, and pushing

DIAMOND Tires CARRY
/ Chains WITHOUT DAMAGE

Now is the time OF year when we
begin to see the chain cut tires come
IN, states a Diamond Control manager.
and IL you want TO know the funda-
mental reason why. just take a piece
OF rubber from any tire in one hand
and a piece OF chain in the other
then try to push them together with
Q five hundred 10 a thousand pound
pressure. and you have only slight
idea OF the constant battle between
Chains and tires.
III a man feels that he must use
chains Diamond tires will stand up
10 them beautifully IL they are proper
ly put on; and for applying them you
can't do better than to follow the
advice OF the chain manufacturer.
But remember that the fundamental
principle o. using chains without in
jury to tires is to have them so fitted
that they will creep around the tire
and not bruise II continually In one
place. There is little danger OF this
on smooth tread tires. but with the
almost endless assortment OF rough
'anti-skid treads on the market. ther,
Is danger in getting a tire who's,
projections will hold the chair
Some rough treads, however. offe
chains no distractions to hold to
while still performing their anti-skt
functions. Il will be well for ever
Inotorist to look to his own tires 4
this respect: and in buying new tire
for winter wear. this should be one Z
the features to be considered. Tn
Squeegee Tread on Diamond tires is
good example OF an anti-sldd this
will not hold the chain in one spo
Chains that are too loose an
dangerous also, 'for'there is tendenc
for the tire to spin around on th
chain and rip off the rough tread.
But above all, chains should neve
be used on city streets or hard, bar
roads, after the thick mire and slus
