 Benny Hill climbed up from sixth of the year. He won 500 points at Los Angeles on Thanksgiving Day. Had Murphy won he would have again been champion.
 Jimmy Murphy started off the sea- son with two straight wins at Los Angeles and Fresno. This was a con tinuation of his winning spurt which made him the champion of 1922. His unbeatable 1S3 cubic inch speedster rode him into the first place marks.
 Then came the Indianapolis event and the advent of 122 cubic inch cars in American racing. Tommy Milton broke racing tradition to smithereens by winning the race for second time, the first time this feat had ever been accomplished. Foreign cars dis played In this international event of speed and hurry were completely outclassed. Harry Hartz came second the second consecutive time he drove home behind the winner and just ahead of Murphy, whom he followed across the tape the preceding year.
 In the July 4 race ct Kansas City Eddie Hearne romped in for victory with Earl Cooper second and Harlan Fengler third. Hearne repeated at Altoona on Labor Day, being followed by Jerry Wonderlich and Dave Lewis. Ia veteran returned to the game.
 Harty Hartz won at Fresno but Eddie Hearne was right on his heels for second. Fengler ran first at Kan sas City, October 10, with Hearne second and Murphy third.
 Harlan Fengler, 23 years old, drove his first race at Indianapolis and failed to finish. He was third in his second race, the Independence Day event at Kansas City, moneyed at Fresno. after failing at Altoona. and then gave the old timers a thrill by jumping into first at Kansas City in October.
 Three courses went out of exis- tence during the year. The San Car los bowl, near San Francisco, burned. The Cotati track, also in California. although not yet dismantled, has been discontinued because 1t was not a paying proposition and there was no race at Tacoma the past season. The new track built during the year at Altoona, Pa, played to 74,O00 people at the opening race, Septem- Der 4. The race was postponed one day On account of rain. As an evil dence of the interest In racing at Altoona. 1000 moro people filed through the turnstiles on the post poned date than were on hand the original day.
 Indianapolis broke its own attend ance record again and 1t is said the total gate accounted for 150.000 peo- pie, the largest crowd that ever saw a racing event in America.

MOTORS AND THEIR CARE
Trick. To Sell Used Car.


 when buying a secondhand car. it is we'll to make a careful inspection of all parts, or engage an experienced mechanic to pass on the condition of tho vehicle. There are many tricks used to cover defects, such as wood fiber or cork mixed with grease to stop the noisy gears, lampblack and turpentine to make old upholstery look like new for a few hours, prep arations that lend a beautiful luster to the body finish and top which re- suit In their eventual destruction, rubber paint as covering for old tires, piston slap suppressed for time with steam cylinder oil (known as 600 W), which Is about the con sistency of molasses, adding a strong acid to tho electrolyte to bring back a short life to the battery. and the use of small quantity of ether to the gasoline to force moro pep into the engine.
 A battery can be made moisture proof by dipping 1t in paraffin.
 A cheap inner tube will quickly put an expensive casing in the scrap pile.
 Points of spark plugs will burn away gradually, and if not readjust- ed will cause misffring.
 In ff1ling ths gearset, put in the lubricant to a depth of about half the height of the gear box.
 Much battery trouble Is caused by ruinous sulphation coming in contact with the wooden separators.
 Imperfection in the metal or mis- alignment. due to improper. installa tion. will cause timing gears to break.
 When the handle of a wrench Is too long for the capacity of the jaws, there will be danger of stripping threads.
 Serious injury Is often caused tires carried as spares by allowing them to become water soaked during a rain storm.
 A good lubricant for turning very hard steel can be made by mixing two parts of petroleum and one part turpentine.
 Heavy grease used in the gear box acts as a drag and so increases the difficulty of changing down as com pared with an oil fabricated box.
 A funnel can be made to hold sol idly If large metal washer is sl ipped over the spout. This will aid in holding 1t steadily when used for pouring.
 Polish for an automobile can be made by mixing equal parts of boiled linseed oil and turpentine. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth, and rub until dry.

FIRE BRIGADE QUITS WHEN BILL PROTESTED
Volunteers Ask $99.s1 For IS

 Some members of the local volun- teer fire brigade had been members man and boy, for 50 years or so, and all of them knew their business. They were nothing If not through, and any fire they left was out
 A haystack caught on fire recently, right in the middle of the business district After IS hours of heroic ef- fort the blaze was conqueredy and the danger to the town averted.
 The fire brigade turned in bill for s99.S1, carefully itemized-$250 for five hours for the captain; $1S5 for the first five hours and 35 cents for each succeeding hour for each man: coffee, tncidentals, and so on.
 A fire insurance company protested at the bill, declaring that IS hours was too long at a haystack fire and that another haystack, the only thing in the immediate vicinity, was ruined by> fire and water. Completely ig- noring the fact that the grass was dry and the fire might have spread over the whole town.
 The bill was sent to the town council, which backed up the com plaint.
 There was nothing for the brigade to do but quit. The authorities are expected to capitulate shortly. As insinuation by certain town officials that Ritz Carlton fire brigade in A Measham Inn town was too expen- sive anyway, Is regarded as a bluff.

Kamm impressed me most, no doub
because Of his marvellous fielding
ability around third base.
! Opening the American League sea-
son in New York, met Umpire
Brick Owens, who the day previous
had finished working the long series
between the Giants and the White
Sox. Owens had the opportunity of
seeing Kamm in action in about Is
games with the Giants, rs wcil AS
some other exhibition contests.
What do you think about Kamm 2"
asked Owens.
"Hcs better ball player than
even his press agents have toutcd
him. particularly when it comes to
fielding" replied Owens.
"Kamm can do anything Jimmy
Collins or Bill Bradley did, and then
has a few tr,cxs OF has own
"Can he hit?" l acquired.
"Well, I am not as positive about
his hitting as his fielding. but feel
pretty sure he will hit moro than a
lot Of third sackers who are holding
down regular jobs in the big show"
The way Owens sized up Kamm
convinced me that kamm was worth
every cent the White Sox paid for
him. However, a few evenings later
any doubt that may have still xist-
ed as to Kamm's ability to hit was
u,spclled. Bumped into Jack Bent
ley and Frank Snyder, star catcher
of the New York Wants, on Broad
way, the Giants being scheduled in
Brooklyn.
In the two world series between
the Giants and the Yankees, Snyder
did practically all the catching for
McGraw's club and his work would
have been hard to improve upon.
His handling Of pitchers was per-
feet, rarely did he err in his selec-
ton of pitches for the Yankee slug
gers.
It didn't take long for the con-
versation to ewitch to Kamm, and
the first question I asked Snyder
was if he could hit.
"Unless Kamm hit away above his
head in the series with the Giants,
he won't have any trouble holding
up his end in the American League
replied Snyder.
IL had been told he was just an
ordinary hitter. but he began to slam
our pitchers from the start. Then
began to work on him. think 1
had our pitchers work harder on
Kamm than any other member Of
the Sox, yet his. work at the bat
featured the series. ....
ION what Kamm showed me in Is
games I rate him a mighty good hit
ter. He's big Lacquer right now.
Chicago won't have to worry about
a third sacker for years to come"
