THE MAMMOTH
MAJESTIC MUST
BE 'SOUPLED'
The Worlds Greatest
Steamship Yet to Find
Herself

"She's soupledl' exultantly
cried the Scotch skipper of Kip
ling's story, as his little cargo
steamer, salt crusted and thumped
By the wild weather of her first
Atlantic crossing, came battered
into port-a vessel proved. Do
what the canny builders might for
her, she still had to be "sWeeten-
ed" by the old Atlantic, says Ma
ran Storm writing in the New
! ork Evening Post. For until she
finds herself, the engineer explain
&c, "she's just irons and rivets and
plates put into the form of d
ship" So although she arrived
en- deshabille, with engines out Of
repair, well smacked by her rough
teacher, she was then-as she nev-
er had been when she lay spiel,
and span on the ways-a regular
ship. From stern to stern she
spoke with one voice, where be
fore there had been a discordant
chatter Of her parts.
Now Kipling's "Ship That
Found Herself was only $500
tons. The matchless Majestic is
$4,000 tons gross and $4,000 tons
displacement. But she, too, will
have to be "souped" and "sweet-
ened" Not until her third cross
ing is behind her, in the opinion
of F. H. Gibbs, naval architect,
and marine engineer, can all her
complex machinery, work together
flexibly and tremendously.
Surely, yes-for there was no
reasonable question of safety. The
Majectic has had careful trials in
the North Sea and expert inspec-
tors innumerable. Nevertheless,
just as much as an automobile Or
a shoe, she will have to learn her
job. As far as science and IN
dustry can insure it, she is perfect
ly built, but she cannot be in tune
over all till the ocean has season
ed her. The adjustment, the
"wear" of the engines, is achieved
only through use. The moving

Tire Wear Due
To Faulty Garage

An inspection of crippled tires
in the collection of any repairman
will reveal the fact that larger
percentage of the trouble comes
from neglect in the garage at
home. If stones, ruts and road
roughness We're the only Things
that wore out their repair bills
would be cut in half.
Water, oil, grease and Light
rubbers's worst enemies-work in
a garage more actively than on the
road. In washing the car, the rims
are liable to become rusty and eat
away the tire. A coat of graphite
or common stove polish will pre-
vent this and keep the tire from
creeping.
Oil or grease should never be
allowed to stand on a garage floor.
Small cuts or bruises on the tire
surface, say Miller tiremen, should
be repaired at once. If a tire has
been smeared with grease, it
should be washed thoroughly with
cold water and a little soap.
The spare tire is often forgotten
while the other tires are giving
good service, and neglect some
times causes it to deteriorate ra-
pidly. Away is should be protected
from rain, sun and dirt by cover.
Once in whine change it with one
of the tires on the car 30 that the
rubber will not harden from disuse.
The weight of the car should
never be left on a debated tire.
Such treatment is as bad as run
ming on a flat tire and is certain
10 crack the carcass. Jack up the
wheel, or take off the tire entirely. :

Martin i'm Final
Workout for Bout
With Kid Sullivan

Pepper Martin had his final stiff
workout yesterday at Freddy Welsh's
training quarters at Summit, N. j., for
his bout with Kid Sullivan, which will
be one Of the twelve-round contests
on the all-star card that the Ebbets
McKeever Exhibition Company will
present at Ebbets Field tomorrow
night. The other star bout features
Midget Smith vs.. frankie Coster,
twelve rounds. The balance of the
card includes Pancho Villa VS.. Johnny
Hepburn, six rounds; Jackie Norman
VS.. Weldon Wing, six rounds, and Muir
ray Layton VS.. August Psano, four
rounds. The shorter bouts were cut
down to comply with the Boxing Com
missions rule Of not more than forty
scheduled rounds at one boxing show
Martin has worked hard and faith
fully for Sullivan, who has long been
stumbling block to featherweights
aspiring for a crack at Johnny Kill
'bane and his title. Even Martin was
tripped once by this same Sullivan,
and had to take several counts to the
mat and draw decision, after one of
the hardest twelve-round bouts Of his
career.
Martin has several important
matches in the making and realizes
the necessity of defeating Sullivan de-

The season is to make it's inaugural
bow with the running of three we'll

will be stoutly contested is certain
from the contention which is scheduled
to start. Grey Lag and Mad Halter,

choices in the Saratoga Handicap, with

Grant to Build Up
Braves ON 100000
From Pitcher Sale

BOSTON, July 31.-The trade which
sends pitcher Hugh McQuillan, of the
Braves, to the New York Giants for
100000 or more and three players
caused barely ripple in the still
waters of baseball here.
The transfer of McQuillan was con-
sidered loss to the Braves by their
followers, and the acquisition of Fred
Toney, veteran, and the two young
pitchers of doubtful value, but in the
statement of President Grant that he
intended to build up the Braves sports
writers found ? promise that Nc
OUTLAWS sale money might be spent
to the clubs playing advantage.
Although good pitcher, McQuillan's
record with Boston has not been re-
markable. Last season, when the
Braves won more games than they lost,
McQuillan won thirteen and lost six
teen. His record to date this season
with tail-end club has been five vic
tories and ten defeats
President Grants explanation of the
deal was: Baseball is a business
proposition. If the money doesn't
come in through the gates it has to
come in some other way And the
money hasn't been coming in through
the gates
Il want another pennant winner and
am going to attempt to have one. Re-
member, / got a tremendous sum of
money for McQuillan, which is going to
be spent on the team"

Not only in athletics but in feminism
does their sailing set landmark. Be
fore the war women we're virtually
strangers to the track and field, but in
the stress Of conflict, particularly in
Europe, when womanhood stepped for
ward to fill the jobs left vacant by the
departure Of men to the battle front,
they participated in games TO fit them
for their more strenuous duties in
industry.
The result was that running. Jump
ing and weight throwing became part
of the feminine calendar, in addition
to riding, swimming, tennis and golf.
When international games were sug-
gested to compare the athletic progre IS
made by women of various nations. an
invitation was sent to the United
States.
Establish New Records
Girls colleges and boarding schools
took up the challenge. Instead of
standing on the side lines, cheering
their brothers and sweethearts on the
field, thousands of girls spent the
spring training and preparing them
selves, not always under expert tute-
lage, but sufficiently we'll to break half
dozen world records when they went
into competition.
The field was narrowed to inter-
school and inter-class meets, then bv
numerous sectional elimination con-
tests, and finally two national meets
were held, one in the East, the other
in the far West, from the winners Of
which thirteen girls were picked to &C
to Europe: The judges are positive
that the thirteen are the best in the
nation.
In the mean time much trouble was
experienced in stimulating sufficient
public enthusiasm to get the money to
send the team abroad, with the result
that nearly all Of the girls are paving
their own expenses-one Nad to bor
row the funds with the promise Of
repayment when she leaves school
and some of the entertainment planned
for them must be curtailed.
Definite assignment Of the girl ath-
letes has not yet been made by Dr..
Harry Stewart, of New Haven, Conn.
the coach and physician and individual
who more than any other is respon-
sible fer this long step in femiaisnn.
Assignments will not be made until
near the close Of training in Paris.
Team Well Chaperoned
With the team, in addition to DR..
Stewart and Suzanne Becker, Of Oaks
mere School, Mamaroneck, N. Y, will be
Mrs. Stewart and Joseph D'AngoIa, of
Newark, member of the American
delegation of the international com
mittee, who also will be accompanied
by is wife. The mothers of two of
the girls will go along as chaperons.

all haven't been shorn, and the young
