WAR IN EUROPE

StruuuIe Across Water Gave Au-

Right Here at Home.
CARS GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES
During Great Battles People on This
Side Found Out Many Benefits OF
Motorized Transportation in
Various Ways.

Wonderful as was the work of the
motorcar In Europe during the last
few years Of struggle there, and de-
spite the vast angles Of future devel-
opment which were opened by the au-
tomobile's accomplishments in the bat
tie zone, the biggest thing that the war
did for the motorcar industry was done
here at home.
This is the opinion Of @. A. Pfeffer,
general manager Of large motorcar
corporation, and what this big thing
is expresses concretely Mr.. Pfeffer's
idea of the future Of the industry. Al
though he believes that the true sig
nificance Of the stay-at-home work OF
the automobile will come only, In the
light of more mature retrospection, ne

day.
Pave Way for Prosperity.
"What motorcars did right at home
to win the war did more, in my opin-
ion, to pave the way for more pros
porous future for the automobile In
dustry than any other one thing" said
Mr.. Pfeffer. II realize fully that right
now we associate the war and the au-
tomobile with the splendid service and
incalculable benefit which motorized
transportation was to the armies in
the field, just as we associate the SOL
diers part In the struggle with the un-
questioned heroism of the men In the
front line trenches.
"But, In the same way as we neglect
the greater majority Of the fighters
who battled at home, we neglect the
much greater army Of motorcars which
went into the struggle on every road
in the United States. But, because
we were so close to the stay-at-homes,
It is hard to get the proper perspec-
tive on them.
Touches Vital Spot.
II think I set my finger on the vital
spot when I recall the fact that dur
ing the war more people found out
the benefits Of motorized transporta-
ton from both the business and rec
reational side than ever had known 1t
before.
"The business men who were forced
to speed up their daily life and found
that speed could be obtained by the
use Of an automobile; these same
men who discovered the vocational
benefits Of the automobile, which
could be utilized without loss Of busi-
ness, time or efficiency; those who
tried the motorcar in their business
and daily life as an experiment and
found the results were far better than
they had expected-all these were
awakened by the work Of the automo-
bile at home"

Care OF the Top.
Care should be taken to see that no
dust, dirt, mud or grease Is allowed
to remain either on the inside or out
side of the car top. The outside can
usually be cleaned Off with dry, stiff
brush, or, in bad cases, with soap and
water, applied with a sponge. Case
line, kerosene or naphtha will cause the
rubber In the fabric Of the top to disin-
tegrate and finally leak. After the top
has been washed it should be rfnsed of
with clean water and permitted to dry.
The inside Of the top may also be
cleaned with sponge. A top should
never be put down or covered While
wet. It should be thoroughly dry.

Lack of Experience
Spells Defeat for
Manual Grid Squad
Wabash High Youngsters
ROmp OUer Red and White
in Season Opener.

In a game where inexperience OF the
Manual Training High School players
showed time and again. the Wabash High
School football team won by a 3o-to-0
score O. Irwin field yesterday afternoon.
Wabash has without question one OF
the strongest high school teams ia the
state and the eleven men from the north
ern Indiana school have size, experience
and rare football ability. At least four
Of the Wabash players are equal to the
stars on big college teams.
As a rule, the breaks" in the game
went against Manual and to the advan-
tage of the visitors. For example, u
most peculiar play resulted In a safety.
IL was Manuals ball on the hye-yard line,
and the Red and White back field man
stood back OF the goal line TO punt the
ball out of danger. The kick went far TO
the right Instead. OF down the field ana
hit on about the ten-yard line and the
bail bounced backward In the direction
OF the goal line. no player having touched
the ball in the field OF play. The ball
was recovered by the Manual player who
mad kicked IL, and he started to run
with the ball, but was tackled behind the
goal line. IL was a safety and scored
two points for Wabash.
The visitors scored four touchdowns.
but the first one came when the "break'
went in favor OF the Wabash team. The
State athletes had worked the ball well
into Manual territory and shot a forward
pass directly over the middle Of the line
The ball was touched by both a Wabash
and Manual player on the three yard line
and bounced back into the arms of Il
wabash man. who was downed within Il
few feet Of the goal line Then the VS.
itors went over on n buck.
LOCALS STRONGER
AT FINISH.
Early in the game the experience Of the
visiting team showed to great advantage,
three Of the touchdowns being scored in
the opening eriods. Then the Indianap-
oils boys became aware of the fact that
they were just as strong individually as
the visitors and they stopped most Of u
rushes OF the Wabash backs. In the la
period Manual gained more ground tn
did Wabash
1t was In this period that the Manual
team got its break, With the bnli
on its own twoyard lire. the Red and
White quarter back handed out the most
unexpected play. BY all rules of field
generalship, hid down by coaches there
was but one thing to call and that was
went into punt formation and made
a long forward pass which was captured
by the Manual right end and he almost
got away, carrying the bali TO the center
OF the field. Ii was the most sensational
play OF the game. The forward pass
route proved Manuals strongest ground
gamer. and had the Red and white boys
had confidence In their ability TO halt
the wabash backs In the opening periods
the score would have been close. Twice
Manual had the ball within the Wabash
ten-yard line; once losing it on downs
and once Wabash intercepted a Manual

Texas League Had It's
Scandal, but Players
Were Put Out Easily

SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 2.-Evidence that
gamblers controlled" the winning and
losing games in the Texas League during
the season just ended came to light Fri
day as a result of the graft" upheaval
in organized baseball
Pitcher Bill Fincher of the San Antonio
club declared he had been offered $1,000
bride to throw a game recently In Wichita
Falls and his statement was backed up
by Manager Bryson.
President Walter Morris of the Texas
circuit, in a statement to the Inter-
national News Service, admitted that re-
ports Of throwing games had reached him
during the season just ended and that
his Investigations had resulted in the
dropping of several players. He refused
to name the men, but said the evidence
had been too vague to initiate criminal
prosecut ons. They were dropped be-
cause we suspected they were not run
ming straight, Morris said.
The entire matter Of crooked playing"
and thrown" games will be the subject
OF drastic investigation, at the league
meeting of directors directly after the
