course the throw will change and the wheels will not cut concentric cir cles. AS a result one tire must slide.
 Do not neglect to grease the wheel bearings occasionally. They should not be neglected because they are out of sight. The front wheels must be removed for this. If a grease cup is provided for each rear wheel it will be on the axle housing next to the wheel If not, the wheel must be removed Neglected bear ings mean loss of power and unne- cessary expense.
 The wheels should respond to the turning of the steering wheel with but little lost motion, and when the lost motion is excessive it may be taken up by tightening the thrust nut on the steering gear bearing, or by adjusting the ball and socket joints.

LIMIT ON RACE
PROFITS PROPOSED

BALTIMORE. Md. March 2S.-
Limitation of racetrack profits was
discussed today at a meeting OF
the Maryland Racing Commission.
As an alternative to reducing
charges for admission and the pari-
mutuel percentage and to increasing
purses and stakes Commissioner
Kennedy proposed the following:
That by agreement with the rae
ing associations applying for Ii
censes in 1921 profits of the tracks
be limited to a fair return on the
valuation or assets and equities.
That excess profits be distributed
under the guidance of the commits
sion among projects of public bene-
fit, such as good roads, hospitals,
charity. livestock breeding and i'm
provements to the tracks for the
comfort of patrons of racing.
Commissioner Kennedy's plan
would of course mean an appraisal
of the track, assets and equities.
such an appraisal naturally to be
under the auspices of the
commission.

A pitchers battle was staged at
the Hilltop yesterday, with stocky
Sam Hyman and his Georgetown
crew victorious over University of
Pennsylvania by a 4-to-l score. The
game was nip and tuck until the
eighth inning when Sheffey. the
Penn twirler. was replaced by a
long. rangy boy, Shuster by name.
Shuster passed the first two men
facing him, which together with a
pair of stolen bases and Sheedy's
long single to center. netted the
Hilltoppers two runs and sewed up
the game.
Hyman was in rare form. and de-
spite ragged support, was in dan
ger on but two occasions. Sheffey
also turned in a good days work.

Neither team threatened in the

Myers walked and went to second
when Hyman cut loose with wild
peg trying to catch him off first.
Danny McNichol, of basketball
fame, failed to deliver. but Harvey
drove a long single to right and
promptly stole second. The rally
ended when Kenyon caught Myers
off third with a snappy peg and
ran him down on the baseline.
