.ON GRAN AUTO
.DROMO en- FRANClA

Pr6ximamente Sc iniciara en-
Francia la construction de una
nueva gran pista de carreras para
automobiles que figurara entire las
mejores del mundo. Este autodro-
mo Sc hallara situado entire Ar
pajon v Montiherry, en- una de
las parties mas pintorescas del
bosque de Linas a unos % kil6me-
tros de Paris y a 4,800 metros de
la estacion de Saint -Michel-sur~
Orge, a la que estara undo por
frecuentes servicios de auto-omni-
bus que circularan por caminos
.diferentes a la ida y la vuelta,
para evitar los inconvenientes de
trafco intense en- los dos sentidos.
Ell future autodromo, que COM
prendera dos pistas-una de prue-
bas otra de carreras acondicio-
NADIA para las grandes velocida-
des-abarcara 400 hectareas de
los distritos de Fay v Saint Eu-
trope, incluso el castillo de este
tiltimo nombre, que domina el ca
mino. de Orleans y ell vale del
Orge.
La pista de pruebas tendra ur
largo total de 1000 metros. La de
carreras medira $500 metros, con
radios de $50 metros para los vi
rajes, que seran semejantes a los
de las pistas de Indianapolis, Gin
cinnatti, Chicago y los Angeles.
La parte exterior de las curvas
estara a un nivel superior en- 1880
metros a su parte interior, 10 que
permitra tonarla a cualquier We
locidad sin ningun peligro. La
pendiente interior en- las lineas
rectas sera de 1.5 por ciento. Ell
ancho de la pista sera de 18 me-
tros en- las rectas y hasta 21.18
metros en- las curvas, aunque en-
estas iltimas la proyecc25n ho-
rizontaI sera siempre de 18 me-
tros, debiendose su mayor anchu-
ra la inclination y a la conca-
vidad.
En- ell interior de la pista ha-
bra una franja de seguridad, es-
pecie de pista de TERRA removida,
de 20 metros de ancho.
La pista sera construida con ee-
mento armada. Al hacer los pla-
nos Sc ton16 como base la veloci-
dad de 200 kilometres por bora,
sin que Sc tuviera en- cuenta MIN
gun coefciente de adherencia.
Segdn los calculos hechos, esta
nueva pista, 10 repetimos, sera una
de las mas favorables que existen
para el desarrollo de las grandes
velocidades.

The champion does not think
much of bout with Gene Tunney,
who defeated Spallo. He believes
that If he defends his title this
year, and such a thing, he admits,
seems improbable. it will be against
either Wills or Firpo.
"Tunney is great fighter. but
Spallo never was much of a cham

Dempsey thinks Wills will defeat

Two Knockout Kids
Could Draw Big
House

Hambone Kelly, Boston mid
dleweight, claims to have scored
thirty-three consecutive knock
outs. If this is true Hambone
takes precedence over Paul Ber-
lenbach in the matter of knock
outs. A Boston promoter is
trying to induce Berlenbach to
meet Kelly in, Boston the latter
part of this month. Hambone
is willing, but Paul does not
care much for out-of-town en-
gagements and so far hasn't
said either yes or no to the
proposition. Such a fight be-
tween the knockout kings of
Boston and New York probably
would pack any arena in the

FOR
ATHLETICS IN

Belief Exists That Some New
Faces Are About Ready
to Appear

PHILADELPHIA July 12.-Plans
for strengthening the Athletics are
believed to be under way. The ar.
rival Of Otto Borchert, owner of the
Milwaukee American Association
club, at Shibe Park yesterday leads
to the belief that in a few days the
Macks will have some new faces in
the lineup.
If not in a short time, Mack at
least is laying plans for strengthen.
ing the team in two positions for
next year. Connie has regular

ing.
But 1t is a cinch Mack is dis
gusted with the showing of the
Athletics. particularly in two de-
partments.
The catching staff needs strength
ening, and it is said Shinault, a
former Cleveland catcher, now with
Milwaukee, and rated the best back
stop in the minors, will come to the
Macks.
After looking at Galloway lately,
the Macks are in hopes Connie has
good shortstop in the offering.
Mechanically Galloway has been well
nigh perfect, but he lacks the ag.
gressive spirit and has lacked this
important attribute of winning
player since the team slumped last
June.
Cy Perkins has been in a batting
slump all year. He. too, needs a
rest. Cy usually borders around
.295. His present average Of .230
doesn't make for winning baseball.
Cy got off to a poor start, hitting
400 during May, yet it didn't i'm
prove his average any. Shinault
would be a welcome addition to the
team and the overworked Perkins
would enjoy the respite.

One thing that made Cobb such
great man was his combined
hitting and base running. 1t
don't do you much good to get on
if you don't know how to get off
hOnOrably.
In his twentieth season, Cobb can
hit, run and raZZ. He has developed
a flock of new pitchers, and when
anyone asks him a Questinon he
gives an answer. If you ask HIM
anything too personal he doesn' !
give an answer with his jaw, but
you receive the answer on yours.
A lot of folks has written in to
ask me how it is that a skinny guy
like Pennock, of the Yanks, can
hold up under a strain, such as be-
ing left-handed. l want to reply
that being left-handed is not a
strain, it is breakdown.
In the first place, Pennock is
strong because he don't have to
carry around a lot of beef 1t is
just like having a man GA your

a big load of meat there That is
