The Disqualification
of the Salesman

Visiting on the many the sins of
the few is too much the way of the
world. But the world has right to
expect better of an organization such
as the Amateur Athletic Union, which
exists for the promotion of sportsman
ship, which is supposed to be another
word for fairness; and the same is true
of the National Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion which is moving toward the same
narrow and twisting path.
In view of the fact, its new A. A.
L. rule, which. without distinction,
herds together all statesmen of sport
ing goods and forever places them
outside the pale of amateur sport, is
too much for our understanding.
There was a time, in England, at
any rate, when the only sportsmen
were those gentlemen" whose hands
were unsoiled by labor. but as the
world has advanced, it did not seem
probable that any considerable num-
her of men, least of all in democratic
america, could now be induced to
discover in any means of livelihood
such offensiveness as would lead to
the placing of the brand Unfit" on
one class of the worlds workers, so
far as concerns their relation to sports
and few of whom have an fame to
capitalize.
1t is perfectly clear why men.

when and how will you deliver my
order?" Thus the greatest problem we
face to-day is that of delivery, and one
big factor in the solving of this great
problem, in a practical, efficient way,
is the motorcycle. With the side de-
livery van attached, the motorcycle is
for merchants in all lines; for
the use of quick repairmen and trou-
ble-shooters of the telephone and tele-
graph companies, and the electric pow
Ell and public service companies, by
the Police Departments on emergency
calls, in enforcing motor laws, and
in patroling suburban home districts.
The fact alone that the motorcycle-pa-
trolman can give the suburban home
better protection is a deciding factor
why municipalities are adopting the
motorcycle as part of their equipment.
The fire departments use the motor
cycle that they may get the strangle
hold" on fire. In other words, a fire.
man with a motorcycle, equipped with
several small eXtinguishers, capable of
putting out a gasoline fire, can be
dispatched; then, If necessary, turn in
a second alarm for additional equip
ment. With this facility very frequent
ly an entire block Of valuable city
property will be saved.
When you detach the delivery van
and attach the side-car to the motor
cycle, you have an ;Geal pleasure We

the lowest minimum cost of motor op-

These are only a few of the many

fields in which the motorcycle can be
successfully used. In this there should
be a distinct appeal to the interested
citizen of Atlantic City, who possesses
even the smallest amount of civic pride
This was very forcibly outlined by
f. w. Stierhon, eastern travelling rep
resentative of the Harley Davidson
Motor Co, Milwaukee, Wis. during a
few hours visit with Mr.. Ray Heagy,
of Heagy Bros, of this city, to a re-
porter from the Telegraph.
Mr.. Stierhoff has used a 1917 model
Harley-Davidson with sidecar attached
in covering his territory, making rec
ord-breaking time, over approximately
5000 miles of every kind of roads
throughout New Jersey, lower New
York, eastern Pennsylvania and Mary
land. \ record, covering the entire
distance travelled, shows that the new
model consumed on an average only
one gallon of lubricating oil to each
1000 miles and developed 43 miles to
gallon of gasoline.
"If there is anything more convince
ing. as to the practicability of the
motorcycle than a record like this,
would like to see it," said Mr.. Heagy.
Neither is the pleasure end to be over
looked. You may know of fine place
to hunt, fish or picnic, some thirty
miles away. There is perhaps a spe-
cial excursion and rates, but you gen.
orally have to arise early. make the
trip under conditions anything but
comfortable, and leave for home just
when the sport is at its best All this
takes some joy out of the day. Will

The two young officers came forward
to help her, and the Prince of Wales

the engine again running smoothly.
AS she was thanking her unknown

PROBE TO END IN
, SlEUTHS TRIAL
Cruger Case Detective To Be
Charged With Gross
y
Negligence.

New York.-After a severe cross
examination of Detective Sergeant
John Lagarenne, regarding his search
for Ruth Cruger, murdered high
school student, Leonard H. Wallstein,
who is conducting Mayor Mitchel's
investigation into the police handling
of the case, announced he would ask
Police Commissioner Woods to place
the detective on trial on charges Of
gross and wilful negligence"
To many of the commissioners
questions Lagarenne made no reply,
and to others he answered.: 81 don't
recall" 81 can't answer and 81 am
not sure"
Asked if he had been working on
the theory that Ruth Cruger was a
runaway girl, Lagarenne replied:
81 believed she might have been
enticed away"
The detective sergeant testified
that after Miss Helen Cruger had
told him she had found Alfredo Coo
chi's motorcycle shop closed on sew
eral visits to the place. even then his
suspicious were not aroused. 1t was
in the cellar of Cocchi's shop that
Ruth Cruger's body was found.
Two detectives have been assigned
by Commissioner Woods, it was an
nounced, to go to Italy to bring back
Cocchi should the Italian govern
ment grant his extradition. In any
event, it was stated, the policemen
will be sent to Italy. 1t has not been
decided whether a representative of
the District Attorney will accompany
them.
In reference to the Rev. Father
Casper Moretto, manager of a home
for immigrants, who heard Cocchi's
confession before he fled to Italy,
District Attorney Swami explained
that a section of the penal law pro-
tects priest from divulging what is
heard in the confessional.
What the authorities feared might
be case similar to that of Ruth
Cruger was cleared when a 15-year-
old girl, who disappeared, returned
to her home.

said. "Mother-what was il the cat
