This Year,

The New York Yankees are plan
ming to enter another powerful bat
ting phalanx in the 1921 pennant race

Bodie are expected to be gone before

HIS LAST REAL FIGHT
Johnny Kilbane has not had a real
fight since he knocked out George
CLANCY. the Baltimore southpaw, at
Cedar Point, Ohio. September 4. 1915.
He has entered the ring against sew
eral second-c boxers for short
bouts. but not since then has he de-
defended his title. If the little Clevc-
lander lives until until April Is, 1921,
he will be exactly thirty-two years

were all square and the first
player got away a beautiful
drive from the eighteenth tee.

The Hatchetites then went out to
Catholic University and, while they
lost by a 2O-to-17 score were given
credit for scoring virtual victory.
Upon the heels OF the c. q. L. defeat
the G. W. U. lads went to Delaware
where they were actually prevented
from winning, although they were
about even in basket shooting with
the Newark lads. c. U. was roundly
beaten by Humphreys by 33 to "a on

Both brewer ana MaHam had made
enviable records in track athletics
as members of the Western High
track team before going to ST.
Adams. Wallace and Carter were de-
veloped by Green from the rawest
sort OF material. Wallace coming TO
Washington with Green from Racine
College.
The scholastic performances OF the
four athletes In 1914 and 1915 are
pretty we'll known.
Several years ago when Carter was
being groomed for distance races II
is related that he was set to work
jogging by Coach Green on the Sat
terlee Field track.
TOLD HIM To JOG.
Green told Carter TO jog along until
he got tired. The coach went of to
handle a Junior baseball game on an
other feld and came back nearly two
hours later to md Carter plugging
along, without effort, as fresh as
daisy.
Carter was halted.
II told you to jog until you got
tired and then to go in" sail Green.
well l was just going to quit when
: saw you coming up over the hill,
although I'm not tired" said Carter.
How far have you jogged?" queried
Green. who had a suspicion that the
yovngster might have been doing
something else during the afternoon.
Lets see" said Carter. '1'll finish
up this lap. and then thatll make II
an even ten miles. although l swear
I'm not tired"
From ST. Adams Carter went to
Dartmouth and earned second place
to Shields, OF Penn State, in the fresh
man cross-country race held in Phila-
q, dain
Later Carter went to Maryland Uni
versity.
He was out OF college during the
war and then entered Cornell Uni
versity.
CROSSED LINE FIRST.
Two weeks ago when the Cornell
University barriers ran against the
Oxford Cambridge team in London,
Carter carried the colors OF Cornell,
and was the first American runner
across the line, finishing second to
McInnis the Britisher who won the
race.
Few realized at the time that the
Cornell runner was the same Craw
ford Carter who used to go to st.
Adams and it was not until the re-
ports of the race were we'll circu-
lated throughout this country that it
came to light that il was the tow
headed youngster who used to plug
around Satterlee Field in the after
moons while the others we're playing
baseball.

of considerable praise in Philadei-

FOR SEVENTY YEARS NoRpYKE & MARMoN COMPANY
STOOD HONORABLE MANUFACTURING. FOR
CLEAN. FAIR DEALING AND FOR BUSINESS PAIR PLAY
The New York herald., 1921-06-26

State line is crossed, for no other COM
monwealth in the 1cast pays so little at
tention to public roads. The result Of
this neglect is plainly seen in the con-
trast between the Virginia end OF the
peninsula and the Maryland-Delaware
section. From both Wilmington and
Elkton south through Delaware and
Maryland, all the way to Pokomoke
City. the countryside is a blanket or
beautiful green, the villages are bright
with pretty homes and well kept lawns.
In Virginia from Pocomol1e City down
to Cape Charles the soil fertile and
productive and the farmlands seem to
enjoy a far measure of prosperity, but
the roads are deep with dust and the
foliage along the way looks dingy and
unattractive.
1t should not take professor OF So
cial economy to figure out what bad
roads cost a community. No greater
mistake is made than to believe that
good roads are for luxury use--for
pleasure touring. Travel of this nature
is incidental to the daily use of the roads
to transport the produce of the country
to the city, and vice versa, and the rural
districts are always the greatest suf-
ferers from poor roads.
Virginia has a splendid geographical
location; her endowment in scenic and
historic points of interest is perhaps
richer than that of any other State in
the Union. But this wealth of attrac-
tion is in large measure hidden away be-
cause she has not modernized her roads.

NASH COMPANY CUTS
MOTOR CAR PRICES

The Nash Motors Company announces
reduction in the prices OF Nash pas
senger cars, both six and four cyiin-
der models. ranging from $3.50 to $3.50.
These prices, effective July 2. are as
follows:
Nash Six-F1ve passenger touring car,
$1,645; seven passenger touring car,
$1,695; seven passenger sedan, $2,695 |;
four passenger couple, S2,395; two pas

passenger touring car, s1.1s5; two pas
senger roadster, S1.175; three passenger
coupe. S1.735; four passenger sedan.
$1.935.
In statement given out by C. w.
Nash, president of the Nash Motors
Company and considered one of the
country's highest authorities on effi-
cient and economical manufacturing, he
reported that these reductions repre-
sent lowered production costs in the
big Nash plants at Kenosha and Mil
waukee. They are handed on to the
public because 1t has always been the
policy Of the Nash Motors Company to
give buyers the benefit of savings &C.
complished through operating economy.

Nash, that no man or institution
which did not always deal fairly and
with the public could long
survive"

WHITE TRUCKS ATTRACT

An interesting feature of the annual

the keeping of New York city in a

parade consisted of fleet of 212 five
ton White trucks, purchased by the

The fleet consists of power dumping
units. Ordinarily they are engaged in
the endless work of removing garbage.

during the winter. months they also
stand ready to render such emergency

they more than paid for themselves dur

SUGGESTS IDEA FOR
CUTTING TIRE THEFT

with tire prices at the lowest level
IN history and with the season at hand
for vacation trips, spare rims are being
rapidly equipped with tires, in many
cases several spares being carried"
Gays a general letter sent to its
branches by the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company. "and IL is at this
time that tire thieves are most active.
You can deal death blow at this
evil" the letter continues. "by COM
municating with tire dealers, who in
turn will suggest II to car owners. a plan
whereby tire thievery can be practical
ly. II not wholly. eliminated.
1T is simply, that when spares are
purchased they should be put in use
at once--if only for a short time-and
only tires that have been in use car
ried as spares
According to officials OF the company
a survey Of the situation brought TO
light the remarkable fact that nearly
20 per cent OF all tires stolen were
brand new. the approximate ! per cent
remaining being used tires in cases
where. evidently. the thief didn't stop
TO see what kind Of tire the case con-
tanned. Otherwise. not single used
