Billy Evans Says

SLAM Bang baseball is going t"

less of all this talk about re-
vival OF base running and strategy.
SO says Larry Lajoie, once the
king of them all.
There is nothing sweeter than
the ring of the base hit TO the
player continued Larry.
There you have the best possible
reson why the slugging style of ball
is apt to remain popular for some
time. The players like it.
''To many players laying the ball
down, bunting, is simply waste OF
time. The slash-away methods have
q much greater appeal than the
safety first tactics
Larry Lajoic, who seldom made
mistake as IA player, seems to have
nade a mighty accurate prediction
as Il mere fan.
Larry is a fan. He hasn't for
gotten the game simply because hi

determined by the effectiveness Oh

If the pitchers curtail the siugging
somewhat, then the value OF base

If the pitchers at some time IN

back with Il bang.
The revival of base running Will

Both major leagues will keep the

CARELESS AUTOISTS
BLAMED FOR "JAMS"
Traffic Congestion in Average City
Fault of Drivers Themselves,
Expert Declares.

Traffic congestion in the average
city is largely the result of careless
ness in the use of the motor vehicles
that make up such traffic.
This is the opinion of Ernest y.
Smith, general manager of the Amer
ican Automobile Association, given
in answer to numerous queries from
observing motorists as to whether
traffic in the downtown section of the
city could not be greatly simplified
if each driver would plan his errands
and his use of the car.
Irritating traffic complications, he
explained, are just another evidence
OF carelessness, too many motorists
failing to take the trouble to decide
beforehand just where they can park
with the greatest efficiency and what
streets they can avoid in reaching
their destinations.
aJammed, with Cars.
TT is a fact" Mr. Smith said, that
the streets are literally jammed with
cars whose drivers are running
around in circles The efficient mo-
torist can tell by a quick glance down
the street ahead whether there is

BALLOON TIRE STANDS
PUNCTURE TESTING
New Type Found as Good by Com
parison as High-Air-Pressure
Kind.

Do balloon tires puncture more
readily than high air pressure tires?
They do not. Thus is the question
answered by Miller balloon tire ex-
perts after making comprehensive
tests on the various sizes and types
of balloons under all kinds of road
conditions. Technical reasons why
balloons should not puncture more
easily than other tires are borne out
by practice.
The actual surface of contact made
by 7.3o-inch balloon tire under load
of 100 pounds is 36.o4 square inches.
The actual surface contact Of a five
inch high pressure tire, which is re-
placed by the 7.S0 balloon, under load
of LOO pounds is 20.l6 inches.
From these figures il is found that
the load per square inch on the high
pressure tire is 81 pounds, whereas
on the balloon it is only ~ pounds
With less pressure on all parts OF the
contact surface there is less likeli-
hood of puncture. The balloon tire is
disposed to roll over obstructions in
the road which ordinarily would
cause punctureS-
