Get Acquainted With Your Car
"A LITTLE ADVICE NOW AND THEN
 IS RELISHED BY THE BEST OF MEN"

The modern automobile wheel is among the hardest working parts of the car, and yet so well has it been perfected that it rarely gives trouble, and the average car owner is almost oblivious to anything except it's bare existence. And yet. strange as it may seem, it looks as if we were on the verge of some change in the wheel field, though it is not likely to be the complete revolution that some authori- ] ties seem to imagine.
 Wheels at the present time in use may be divided into four major classes. wood, wire, disc and steel spoke wheels. The latter type is practically confined to motor truck construction, but can not be entirely neglected in any com prehensive view of the wheel situation.
 The predominating type of wheel at ! the present time is the wood wheel made of second growth America1 hickory. There is no real cause of complaint against the service rendered l by this type of wheel, although many academic flaws are picked in it by ex- perts who favor other types. Until re- gently, it was assumed that failure of the supply of second growth hickory would eventually compel our wheel 1 makers to switch to another type Re- cent government forestry figures, | however, seem to show that we have supply of this wheel material suf- 1 ficient to last for some time. This be- ! ing so, it is scarcely likely that any other type of wheel will oust the wooden wheel from its position of pre- eminence in the American motors car 1 industry.
 While the wooden wheel is generally 1 efficient in service, occasionally this type has been known to go to pieces under excessive strains. Wire l wheel advocates claim that this can never happen with their favorite type. 1 The commonest failure of wooden wheels is. the development of annoying squeaks. This trouble may be reme- died by driving wooden wedges into the spiders where the spokes have be- come loosened. Car owners frequently neglect to give due attention to the hub bolts of their wooden wheels. These bolts pass through the wheels and hold the hub plate in position. In the case of the rear wheels. the hub l bolts also hold the brake drums. If these bolts are permitted to become loose, the wheel will be thrown out of alignment. This will make driving difficult and inevitably tire wear will be enormously increased.

kerosene.
 The tendency toward covering the wire wheels with steel disks is of com paratively recent origin. The disk wheel is considered a distinct addition to the appearance of the car, and ,t serves to keep the wheels beneath from dirt, rust, etc.
 In France and England they are using the steel spoke wheels for pas senger car service and they are giving excellent results. They are even light CT than wood, and stronger, and their heat radiating qualities are better. In appearance these wheels are just the same as our familiary artillery type wooden wheels. It is not impossible that the steel spoke wheel may be the type of the future.
 There are certain details of care which must be given alike to all types of wheels. Every wheel runs on a bearing and this must be kept packed with grease. Once month each wheel on the car should be jacked up and turned to see that it moves freely. At the same time the spokes at the top and bottom should be grasped and the wheel be pushed and pulled to see

whether excessive play has developed. Wear in the bearings or hub may cause this trouble. Tn the case of wooden wheels, distortion of the wheel sometimes makes it difficult to mount the rim or the rim may get out of shape and the same trouble will result. When this occurs, it is an easy matter to force the rim into pIace by placing the jack against the hub and the troublesome place in the rim. Occa- sionally the rims creep a little, so that the valve stems are bent or even broken off. This may be caused by loose Jugs or by distorted rim with worn shoulders. It is well to keep an eye on the valve stems, for by theit angle one is warned that the rim is creeping.

AMERICAN GOLF
BELOW STANDARD
So Stated Harry Vardon,
the Sensational English
Player, on 1913 Tour
CONDITIONS N
By CHARLES ("CHrCK") EVANS

BY CHARLES C"CHTCK") EVANS
The eagerly awaited visit of Taylor.
vardon. Ray and perhaps Braid, the
British stars. to America lends particu-
lar interest to Harry Vardon's views
on American golf. In 1899 and 1900
great difficulty. while in 1913 he. with
Ray, bowed to the great skill displayed
by Francis Ouimet.
Nevertheless. it is vardon's conviction
that play in the States on the occasion
Of his 1913 visit was not up to the
standard set more than a decade before.
He points out that while in 1918 he lost
the championship, yet the balance Of
his engagements were easier to win than
during his first visit.
Vardon is inclined to attribute the
failure of Americans to develop a higher
standard Of play Qf this Is true) to the
fact that Americans takei such a ire
m~endously active interest in tournament
play and subordinate the work of prac-
tice and experiment.
Need More Practice
He feels that while tournament play
is undoubtedly a help in. giving a man
the experience which will enable him
to hold his nerye under pressure. II does
not permit him opportunity to think u
the science Of the game and perfect his
play by testing this and that principle
until he finds the methods which suit
him best.
Tournament play always calls for
doing your best and affords no chance
for let-down in which practice may
be had. Vardon suggests that both
American and Canadian golfers Of prom
Use will find a big reward in devotinR a
greatly increased proportion of their
goling hours to practice and less TO
tournaments.
LAM inclined to believe that Mr.. Var
don's observations as they affect both
the United States and Canada are prettv
largely correct. Personally, during the
playing season i set aside regular hours
for solitary practice. for it is when one
is alone that the mind can be concern
trated on the problem in hand and the
greatest progress made. .
Average Has Decreased
II Mr.. Vardon means the general
standard of play has not increased In
| America or in Canada there is one OBJ
vious reason for this in the fact that
| tens of thousands have fiocked to golf
curses and taken up the game since
lMr. Tsrdon's first visit to these shores.
Hence he average of play would be
lowered.
II he means the standard of play
of given individuals in the period of
time covered by his remarks. ] am in
clined to question his judgment. But
/ suppose the best answer to the ques-
ton will come with the matches to be
played this summer between the British,
American and Canadian stars. 1t Is to
be hoped by every person with even
remote interest in golf that nothing will
occur to prevent the visit of our British
friends.

LUDERUS TOPLAY
FIRST. FOR PILLS
President Baker Will Not
Release Star to Manage
Milwaukee Club
MAILED HIM CONTRACT

Fred Luderus will play first base for
the Phillies during the 1919 season.
There is not a chance for the veteran
infelder to appear in the role of a minor
league manager this year, according to
william f. Baker. president of the club.
This morning President Baker announce
ed that a contract had been mailed to
Luderus n that he had no idea Of
handing him his release to assume the
job Of manager of The Milwaukee Amer
lean Association club.
Milwaukee dispatches this morning
had everything clear for Luderus to
go right ahead with the task of plotting
the club. In the first place it would
be necessary to havo all the clubs waive
on him before he could get out of the
league.
There Is no doubt as to the value of
Luderus to the Milwaukee club. 1t is
his home and as he is one of the few
big league players developed in the Wis
consin city, the fans long have been af-
ter him to play with the Brewers.

BIG TENNIS YEAR
AT WILMINGTON
Country Club Planning to
Hold a Tournament
Every Saturday
ONE FOR THE VETERANS
By ROBERT T. PAUL

Tennis will go big at the Wilmington
Country Club this season, At the an
nual meeting of the Philadelphia and
District Lawn Tennis Association Thurs
day evening, r. W. Harris, the chair
man of the tennis committee at the
Wilmington Country Club outlined
briefly the plans for this year.
W are planning said Harris. ito
make this the greatest yea in ennis
that the Wilmington Club has ever en-
joyed. The committee h gathered
together the names of all the men Of
the club who ever have handled a rae
quet. Not one has been missed.
THE members will be classified into
eight divisions and handicapped accord
ingly The members Of each class will
play against each other and then the
! winners most likely will meet. We also
expect to hold round robin tournaments
in each division. In fact, there will be
some sort of a tourney every Saturday
in the year
Novel Tourney
Many novel; tennis tournaments are
being planned for this season through
out the entire country The other day
the members of the New York Tennis
Club suggested the holding of a ma
tional mixed doubles championship for
! husbands and wives. Another new fea-
ture in this district will be the veterans
tourney to be held by the Wilmington
Country Club.
To be eligible for this, n must f...ve
passed the forty-year-old mark. This
should serve to draw out the older
members of the organization. who are
apt to retire, believing that they would
have no chance against the man. stars
of the younger set. With the age limit
they now have equal opportunity.
Church to Defend Title
After a lapse of one year the Will
mington Club again will stage the an
nual Delaware State championships this
spring. This will be held during the
week of June 23, and from the present
indications the entry list will be one of
the best in the history of the event.

holder, that he will be on hand to de-
fend his laurels. In addition, II is vir-
tually assured that Bill Tilden. Bill
