ENGLAND is

VICTORIES
Net Results of Sport Season

SpnrtSmen

Tennis Artists Of England
Must Change Style Is
Opinion

London, Sept. 27.-The season Of
international sporting events in Eur
one is drawing to an end; and Britain,
plancing back at the spring and sum
mer, is rather satisfied with her
achievements. America didn't win
everything. That alone is consider
able satisfaction to those who nave
defended the British against their
own critics, who have been crying out
that the race had become decadent
upon the fields Of sport
Perhaps the beginning OF the
sports season was the craze over non
stop dancing. Britain was the first
to contract that fever. Her human
butterflies fitted TO fox-trot tunes
for Is. 20, "a hours without pause,
and then the epidemic caught Amer
lea. A day and night was just a
good start over there. The marathon
dancers kept going several days and
several nights until, finally, one man
dropped dead with his dancing pumps
on. Well, the British thought, let
them have the silly old champion
ship; one ought to be moderate about
such things.
u. s. Horse Wins
In racing the British watched an
american horse, Sergeant Murphy,
win their Grand National, supreme
among eeple-chases, but the Yam
kee. Jockeys got nowhere in the Der
by. so that was all square. Most JOY
Gus of all were the British successes
against the invading American golf
players. The amateur championship
remained at home and the open cham
pionship was won back from the
United States, and both by young
players. Wethered, the new amateur
champion, and Havers, the open title
holder, are in their middle twenties
Although they kept their champion
ships. the British lost golf honors to
America. The st. Georges Gold Vase
was won by Francis Ouimet OF Bos-
ton in play-off with DR.. Willing
of Portland, Oregon, and worst of al
the American amateurs retained the
Walker Cup over the sacred fair
ways of st. Andrews, after the Brit
ish had all but won it. That after
noon, when the fighting Yankee:

HAYNES ANNOUNCES NEW
TOURING CAR At s1295;
IMPROVEMENTS MANY

As the first OF its 1924 offerings,
the Haynes Automobile company, OF
Kokomo. Ind, the new
1924 Haynes GO touring car. featu-ed
by q new body, by i new system for
checking rebound, a new oiilng sys-
tenn. and an improved. prsctic aily
yibrationless six cylinder motor.
Other features of this new model.
which is listed at 81 ,2e5. Z. o. b. fac
tory. include n permanent top.
Spanish leather upholstery. 32x4Ia
cord tires. disc wheels and a nickel
plated radiator. The new 1924
Haynes touring car is built on the
renowned chassis Of 121 inches.
The greatest achievement has
been attained In the improved
motor. with its newly designed
crank shaft. The crank shaft is
much larger. in fact. one of the
largest of any used in any light six
cylinder motor-it eliminates prac-
tically all vibration. It is a three
bearing shaft and oil Is fed to II by
pressure.
The new body of the 1924 Haynes
90 touring car is especially beautiful
with its symmetrical lines. accen-
tuated by the Burgundy Wine color.
Riding comfort has been developed
to an unusual degree In the adoption
of a new plan for checking the re-
bound. On the top of each spring a
rebound leaf has been placed. The
length of the springs has also been
Increased.

NEW PAIGE RIDES LIKE
PULLMAN AND THERE'S
A REASON, SAYS DEALER

The Paige $40 rides as easily as
a modern steel Pullman sleeping car
because II Is similar in construction
and proportionate weight Of frames,
says MI. Weaver OF the Doud-wea-
e Motor Co.
According to tho Pullman com.
pany. its most modern sleeping cars
weigh $4,000 pounds. The weight
Of the SO touring car is 4o6o pounds
or n thirty seventh of that of the
Pullman. says the Paige distributor.
Despite the difference in tota,
weights, he says. the Paige go has
a frame which weighs one-sixteenth
of the a or 276 pounds. The cor
responding part of the Pullman
weighs proportionateiy the same,
claims Mr.. Weaver.
las designed by our engineers.
the Paige go with its heavy frame
is veritably a Pullman of the con-
crete road the dealer says. THE
solid substantial cast steel frame of
the Pullman resists the jolting OF the
rail points and protects the rest of
the car from consequent wear and
tear.
The same is true of the Paige $40.
Its frame. heavier by far than that
or a motor a of similar weight, alb
serbs the jolt OF every rough spot
in the road and protects the working
parts OF the automobile from early
destruction"
