transportation companies have been
started and, taking them altogether
are making good, proving to be sound
financial investments for the hackers
and economical facilities for custom
ers.
ut has been found that merchants,
wholesalers and manufacturers as well
as farmers, orchardists and agricultur-
lists are more than willing to help Gre
ate transportation facilities i'm their
ncighborhood by patronizing those mo
tor truck companies whose object IS
to give them reliable transportation
schedules.
''Thorc are several steps that must
be taken before such motor truck trans
portatlon companies can get on an cffi-
cheney basis. One step is that Of a
thorough understanding of the adapt
ability and utility of the motor truck
by owners and drivers alike. The rail
roads have the care and maintenance
of their rolling stock down TO
science. 1t is an important branch OF
operating railroads for men to see that
the rolling stock is kept 100 per cent
efficient for continuous service. The
Same systems they use can be adapted
with modification of course, to the
maintenance of motor truck rolling
stock.
"a second step Is that of motor truck
drivers and leaders becoming familiar
with the operation of trucks. Just as
the locomotive engineer has TO work
his way TO the engineering post so the
motor truck driver should pursue Il
similar succession OF steps in famu-
iarizing himself with every detail.
such knowledge not only makes
the operation Of a motor truck scien-
ufic matter, conducive 10 time and
economizing records, but also makes
the work easier for him. And it is
known fact that the average truck
driver takes pride in the way he does
his work.
"Other steps are those Of motor
truck owners and drivers forming or
ganiZations for the betterment OF the
business as a whole, the study Of load
ing and unloading methods, interest
and activity in good roads building and
maintenance Oh lI' IOuI'9 N'''
the motor trucks operate-the erection
and maintenance of receiving and ship
ping stations and sub stations, laying
out schedules and maintaining same
with an accuracy that makes their
schedules ones that can be depended
upon.
While | have only touched lightly
unon the different steps the motor
truck transportation company must
take before emerging as a recognized
business, it can be easily seen that
such recognition is only a matter OF
time-that the present and future de
mands of transportation will make 1t
necessary to operate on proven lines.

Referee Pecord Cracked
 Under Strain in Big Bout
Had Willard Taken Kid Mccoy for Second He Would Have Saved Himself Lot of Beating-Toledo
 People Summed the Battle

came in the s1o section where only 5000 seats were sold.
 It was expected that at least 15,ooo Toledoans would pay to see the fight put Toledo was little more than apa- thetfc when it came to paying out real money and only few thousand of the hometown folks responded to the Rick ard call.
 Those who contended from the out set that 1t was a rather dangerous plan to put man like Ollie Record in the referring job were right Record served well in local bouts in Toledo but that wasn't any guarantee that he could handle so important a job as the Willard-Dempsey fight. And Pecord, as many predicted, "cracked" at critical time.
 First of all, Pecord should never have permitted the fight to start until a real bell was in service. Permitting, finally. tie use of a whistle, was anoth- CT blunder. whistle has no more place in a championship fistic battle than kerosene has in an ice cream soda.
 Pecord made another grave blunder when he stood behind Willard count ing after one of the knockdowns. A referees place is in front of the fal- len fighter-and Pecord knew 1t, but apparently became so rattled that he temporarily forgot that knowledge.
 The Toledo official although he knew the fight hadn't ended in the first round, permitted Dempsey two minutes and four seconds-time taken by stop watches in the hands of veteran re- ferees-to elapse between the first and second rounds
 Pecord did his best under trying cir cumstances-but his best was little more than amateurish. All of which convinces that in future championship bouts the proper thing is to put arel referee-one seasoned by long years of experiences; a man of the un- crackable type--into the ring instead of comparative unknown.

SECOND GAME

Coffindaffer was unsteady in the open ing frame of the last battle and walked Reed, first up. Damrau sacrificed. Reed then stole third and scored when Hern- don hoisted a fly back of second under which Hairston spun around like top finally missing the ball altogether.
 Lucy Hairston, as if to retrieve his error of judgment, opened the Baron's half inning by singing past short. He was thrown out at second a moment later, however, when Stevenson missed the ball on the hit and run signal Then after Steve had flied out Duncan singled to right and went out at second trying to stretch the hit
 Ellis doubled in the second frame after Bernsen had flied out but Webb and Fisher couldn't deliver. Peters led off with a single in the third but a double play killed Baronial hopes.
 The Crackers scored their second run in the third Hairston fell down after making pretty stop on Damrau's s grounder and the runner went safe. Herndon walked and on Mayors bunt was thrown out at third. Griffin flied to Ellis. Dykes then singled to left and when Ellis juggled the hit Herndon :~orer and Mayer and Dykes advanced a base. Galloway flied out.
 After Higgins had been called out on strikes in the fourth juggs singled and went to third on Reeds hit to right, Reed moved on to second on a wild pitch. Damrau was passed filling the sacks. Herndon singled through the

 At this moment Kid Mccoy retains the position of looking in the general direction of Jess Willard and remark ing:
 T told you so."
 The Kid. as most folks will remem- Der, saw Willard just before the big fellow left the coast to start training in Toledo for his fight there.
 Jess" he said, ''f'd like to help you out in your training and act as your chief second in the fight"
 The battle lust still is strong within the Kid. It's many years since he fought his last real battle-but his love for the padded ring hasn't faded. And because he wanted to be in some way on the big fistic clash he put his pro- position to Willard.
 "No," answered willard.
 And, afterward, explaining his req son for turning down Mccoy, the big Kansan said:
 T didn't want to have man in my corner that I didn't know"
 How vastly different might things be for Willard today had he accepted the proffered services of one of the shrewd-
 
 Coy undoubtedly couldn't have saved Willard from defeat, but Mccoy cer- tainly would have saved Willard from lot of beating.
 Can you imagine Mccoy permitting a man he was seconding go into a fight with an imperfect bell? Can you im- agine Mccoy allowing his man to rise before the benefit of miner" And can you imagine McCoy--as Willard sec ond-letting Dempsey jump out of the ring before the fight is oyer-and get away with it?
 Perhaps Willard didn't know Mccoy very well before the fight but had he hired him he would have known him most wonderfully well before the bat let was overland been most grateful to him. For Mccoy was the one man in all of America that Willard needed in his corner that day-cool crafty ever watchful, chain-lightning thinker Kid Mccoy.
 The big Toledo fight occasioned many surprises-but none greater than the receipts and attendance figures The fact that the paid admissions ran be- low S400,000 and the crowd a trifle less than 10000 stunned the puglistic world-and it must have been a stag gering disappointment to Rickard who had dreams of $1,ooo,oOo house.
 No one seems able to explain the ter rife falling off in receipts during the last ten days-a time when it was ex- pected the real boom would begin Nearly month before the fight the advance sales were reported around $500, ,000-and those were made largely to persons outside Toledo. It was pre- stunned that the reserved sales from then on to the fight day would be at least s3o0,000 to s4O0ooo more and that at least another $250,000 would come from the sale of the $1o bleacher seats.
 But the sale from then on was "bust''-and the great disappointment
