PLANNING TO Bar OUT
Tennis FOUR-FLUSHER
Entry to National Tourney Hereafter
Must Be Made Through Club
Secretary.

The lawn tennis four-fusher will no
longer be privileged to litter up the en-
try list In the national tournament If
the new rule regulating the acceptance
of entrants works out as il is expected
to.
Hereafter entry to the national tour
ney must be made through the club to
which the player belongs in place of di-
rect 10 the committee having the tourna
ment in charge. and, furthermore. the
entry fee in national singles will here
after be s. in place of 50. as formerly.
BY means of these two long-needed re-
strictions it is hoped to keep out that
class of PLAYERS who have no possible
chance of winning. but who like to see
their names mentioned among those
who competed for the national title-real
bugs" as It were.
The fact that the club secretary must
first pass upon the ability of the player.
and also that it will no longer be cheap
er to enter than to bus- a season ticket
for the tournament should result in
trimming down the list to such players
as really seem to have some chance of
making a showing. II this end is reach

since the act of eliminating the duffer
has been a greater handicap and annoy

FIRESTONE TIRES BEAT
ANGRY VILLA SOLDIERS
Race with Death Won by Carranza
Men, Who Jump Into Auto
And Get Away.

To participate in an automobile race
must he thrilling experience even under
ordinary circumstances, but to engage
in a race against bullets from a machine
gun and A number of lone-range rifles
in the hands Of blood thirsty enemies
must be fraught with enough thrills to
last lifetime.
Firestone Tire and Rubber Company
has recently received from their agent
at San Antonio report of an actual &C.
currence Of this kind.
Nine of Carranza's men were recently
surprised in the interior of Mexico by a
troop of Villas soldiers.
Realizing that the odds were very much
against them, they lost no time in jun o.
ing into an automobile and letting 'er
out to the limit in a mad dash for the
border With n zip. zip" of vengeful
bullets as an incentive to speed, stones.
ruts and holes in the road received scant
attention. In fact, they didn't even
stick to the road. but cut across the
fields without regard for fences or other
triiling obstacles.
Through streams and mountain passes.
closely followed by the enemy, they
bounced and sped. putting to shame all
other auto races in history.
One bullet gouGed a chunk out OF the
steering wheel. others bored holes in
the auto body or glanced from tires or
metal parts. continuing through space
with spiteful ping" One bullet
reached its goal and a man crumpled in
the car lifcless.
The Firestone tires and rims with
which the car was equipped had much
TO do with the escape of the fugitives.
for they held up nobly under the terrible
abuse.
4 bullet finally punctured one Of the
tires. but naturally no stops were made
for a change repairs. The tire was
nnally thrown from the wheel and she
sped on minus one of the tires. The other
three, however. came through practical

race by crossing the border to San An
tonic, the II. & G. Tire and Rubber Com
pany. who applied a new Firestone tire
and rim. dug a fat nosed bullet out Of
the tread of one of the tires, which they
hold as a priced souvenir of Firestone

A. A. A. Helps Members.

While it is true that the new District
Automobile Club boasts a larger mem
bership than enjoyed by any of/the local
motoring organizations of other DAYS. il
Is likewise true that very few of those
who Were members of the old Automo-
bile Club Of Washington are members
OF the present club. Why this Is so is
difficult to explain. II may be ascribeed
to several causes
Many of those whose names wore
prominent in local motordom several
years back are now living in other cities.
some have passed to the Great Beyond
and some are still in our midst-but very
still. or trif1e apathetic as far as the
new automobile club is concerned.
OF the ''old timers" only fve-"Joe''
Stoddard. Rudy" Jose. Howard Fisk,
'Skeets" Watson and Irwin Donohoe-
are members of the new club Yet the
Present organization has nearly 100 mem
bers more than did the old club at the
height of its somewhat checkered career.
or course. the club of today is an or
Eanization entirely different from the old
one. The Automobile Club of Washing
ton was purely good fellowship or
ganlzation. The A. A. A. District of Co.
lumbia Club has as its purpose the rem
derins of practical help to its members.
The local club. backed by the great
national organization of motor car own
ers. is working for better roads and
sign-posted roads: for the repeal of I'M
reasonable laws governing the motor
vehicle and the enactment OF fair and
equitable regulations. and the compila-
ton OF he-minute touring infor-
nation and the preparation of road maps
for its members.
1t has been suggested that the new club
inaugurate an old Timers Week dur
ing which period effort be made to bring
into the fold those of the old guard who
are still interested in automo billing. This
suggestion probably will be acted upon.

Capital Motorists Selfish.

For many years motorists touring out
OF Washington have enjoyed travelling
upon the improved, sign posted highways
of other sections of the country They
have returned home and recounted the
pleasure of their excursions into other
communities. In glowing terms they told
of the splendid no: =. easily followed
because they were marked by the auto
mobile clubs of other cities But very
few OF them have suggested that in re-
turn for the T!easure afforded them.
Washington motorists should endeavor to
make motoring in the territory contigu-
Gus to the District pleasurable for auto
lists from other cities.
Each summer sees more and more
Nashin Ctonians touring to distant points
and those who are contemplating these
long-distance tours are warned that, in
this day of automobile clubs and motor
ing organizations. their cars should bear
the insignia of an organization that is
helping in the work of lettering motor
ing conditions generally or their welcome
in communities which have auto clubs
whose memberships run into the thou
sands will be lukewarm.

Many q man who has made an unex-

blamed his falldown on an easy match

for taking part in the tournament. The
contrast was so great when he faced

ItaIy's Situation Critical.

New York.-The invitation ex-
tended by the Italian government to
the leaders of the Republican and Re-
form Socialist parties to join the cabi-
net as ministers without portfolios is
an admission of the failure of Italy's
military campaign. Under no circum-
stances Of normal procedure would
these two extremist parties be asked
to cooperate with a monarchlal min
istry.
Now, after eight weeks of war, the
Italians have been unable to advance
beyond the first defenses of the Aus
TRANS. The situation, in fact, has
become so serious the Roman govern
ment has ceased to issue official re-
ports Of proceedings in the war zones;
no casualty lists have been published,
although sources outside Italy esti-
mate the italian losses at 100000.
