Special Despatch to TIE New York HERALD.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov 10.-The ar
rival of Commander J. K. l.. Ross at the
Pimlico track this afternoon prevented
what might have been a serious break
between the Jockey Club and the racing
authorities of Maryland.
In the morning the Maryland State
Racing Commission granted Carroll
Shilling. a former jockey and employee
of Commander Ross, license TO ride.
Eight years ago the Jockey Club re-
voked Shillng's Jockeys license for poor
and rough riding at Havre de Grace.
Since then the lad has applied for rein
statement several times, but on each oc-
casion hts application was denied.
A fortnight ago he appealed to the
local State Racing Commission, which
has jurisdiction over all matters pertain
ing TO the sport IN this State. Local
politicians took an interest In his case
and yesterday morning their work had
the desired effect. The commission
granted him permission to ride. AS soon
as this decision was handed down Guy
Bedwell. trainer for Commander Ross,
assigned him to ride one of his horses
in the fifth race. Frank J. Bryan Of New
York, who was in the stewards stand
representing the Jockey Club. objected
and threatened to withdraw if Shilling

wanted to force the issue and instructed
the boy to take the mount, but before

arrived, and after long conference

commission and officials of the track
decided to take Shilling down. This ac-
ton postponed the clash between the
two organizations.

II Isn't always the dub who gets
Into a jam in driving his motor car.
Some OF the so-called experts take fool
chances and fail TO get away with
them They like 10 drive as close to
the car ahead as they can. and then
when the man ahead stops suddenly,
there Is a crash.
One OF the first things 10 remem-
Der In driving an automobile is TO
drive with great care and caution and
do nothing suddenly.
Here are a few good sensible rules
10 follow and they are easily follow

Of trouble:
First, assume that you must look
out for yourself and the other fellow.
too. Don't rely wholly on the other
fellow doing the right thing and be
ready for any emergency.
Never back or swing from the curb
into the street without looking back
to see IL the road is clear.
Glance both ways on each cross
street. and. II you're not on the main
thoroughfare. slow down before you
cross. It's safest to drive slowly
enough to have the car well under
control where buildings hide tho In

Do not cut corners In turning. but
keep to your side OF the street and
look both ways before you make a
turn.
In passing a slower vehicle pass
on your left but In passing . street
car always keep to the right
Do not follow another vehicle too
closely. 1t might stop suddenly.
Stop when the street car ahead OF
YOU stops and stand still until all OF
the passengers getting off are out OF
the way. In most cities this Is re-
iuired by ordinance.
Dim your lights when approaching
another automobile on the road.
Amateur tire patching ruins thou
sands Of automobile tires each year.
II Is a common practice among auto
mobile ownrs, when receiving a cut
or puncture in a tire to insert a patch
| IN the inside OF the casing at the
| point OF injury, thinking that the
| lamage Is permanently repaired. Such
repair In time will ruin any tire
says the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Com
pany.
1t Is good practice to apply patches
in such cases, but a tire sleeve should
always be placed on the outside OF
the tire opposite the patched portion
at the same time. The sleeve serves
to bind the tire, hold the torn and in
jured parts OF the fabric in place and
prevent further chatting and rupture
The tire sleeve and patch are merely
| "frst aid appliances and should be
removed at the earliest possible mo
ment. 1t will pay motorists to drive
to the nearest repair man Immediately
after the injury occurs. II allowed
to run without repair every time the
wheel makes a revolution the tire
auickens it's pace toward the scraT
heap.

ruzzling TO those who have never

know that he means that II will go
up a hill or incline that has a vertical
rise OF foot for every feet OF level

a hill is one mile long, or $3.50 feet.
