DETROIT, Mich, October 1.-Henry
Ford has announced that an engine
for use in light airplanes for general
operation in transportation virtually
has been completed in his expert
mental laboratories at Dearborn. He
said the engine was an s-cylinder,
200.horsepower motor.
For this engine the manufacturer
claimed all the economies of the small
automobile engine. He said the motor
would not require adjustment and
parts would be interchangeable. so
that a wornout part could be easily
replaced. The motor will be tested
soon.
Commenting on the possibilities of
aviation, he repeated his oft.made as

ably will open the season with the
same lineup that finished the 1924
campaign.
have selected, off hand, eighteen
men who, in all likelihood, will
form the first-string array and
find that their average age is
thirty years. In baseball, one often
becomes a deni-antique at thirty.
Only six Of the eighteen Sc.
lected, to wit, doe Dugan, tWent-
ty-seven; Aaron Ward, twenty
eight; Whitley Witt, twenty.slx;
Bob Meusel, tWenty-eight; Waite
HOyt, twenty-five, and Earl
Combs, twenty-three, remain on
the sunny side Of basebaIl's In
visible deadline and, of these,
Combs is the only one who comes
under the head Of new blood.
The others, In spite Of their
tender years, have been around
for quite some time.
Dugan, for example, come UP to
the Athletics eight years ago; Ward
has been with the Yankees since
1918; Witt with the Athletics since
1915, while Hoyt got a trial with
the Giants nine years ago at the
age of sixteen. An exception is
Meusel who came up In 1920 and
apparently still faces a long
straight road.
But some OF the others are posi-
lively ancient. Wally Schang broke
five; Bob. Shawkey, with the
Athletics OF 1912, is the same ago:
Herb Pennock at thirty-one can
look back on twelve years Of big
league baseball and was one of
Eddie Plank's pupils; Ruth is
thirty.one but still at the peak.
Steve O'Neil is, thirty-Iwo and
passe; Sam Jones and Urban
Shocker are thirty-two and have
begun to slip; Everett Scott at
thirty-two seems to have slowed
down considerably: Wally Pipp Is
thirty-two while Ernie johnson and
Howard Shanks. utility infielders,
are thirty-five and thirty-four re-
spectively.
All OF them may have at least
one good season left, or like the
wonderful one-horse shay may fall
apart simultaneously. A collapse in
any one sector might be enough to
defeat the Yankees pennant hopes.
The Senators, of course, are FAR
from youthful, themselves, but I'm
fortunately they are not the only
outfit the Yankees will have to
beat.

SUFFERS BY
RULING !.
TWo-Sport Rule Costs Blue
and White Three Expert
enced Players
By ROSS L. CONKLN.

This warmly welcomed two-sport
rule Is going to knock the props
right out from beneath Eastern
High Schools baseball team, take
Charley Guyon' 3 word for It. The
Indian is an optimistic take-'em-
as-they-come sort Of q person, but
he sees red every time he recalls
that Inflated ruling. -
Eastern has what seems, on first
glance, championship baseball
team. The first glance, though, is
taken so hastily that it excludes
such essentials as Central, Western
and Tech. not to mention Business,
which every once in a while starts
something.
Guyon used Bruce Kessler, Angus
Heeke, and Judy Radice in football
and basketball. They are also
was more desirable in basketball
than in baseball. ~
Now, as the intricacies Of the
two-sport rule are unearthed,
Guyon finds thaI he will be de-
prived OF that trio OF young men,
however badly he may need them.
Kessler is a second baseman
with more promise than Frankie
Frisch. Heeke plays first base with
the same efficacy that char
acteristizes Joe Judge. Radice IL a
third baseman, than whom there
are none better. That is, If you
listen to Eastern, the three are
as above pictured. At any rate,
the. tr1umverate9 will be found on
the sandlots playing baseball with
some independent team.
Jew Benny, Lowden, Cliff zier,
Boots Scruggs, Rurdine, Hogarth,
and Skinny Madigan are the, men
who are there.
Guyon has a couple OF pitchers
and a catcher. he has an infield
and an outfield. But he plans to
develop couple Of additional
pitchers, catchers, inffelders and
outfielders just in case they may
be needed.
Eastern, at least, has a plentiful
supply Of material on hand, and if
wayside their places will be readily
filled. -
Guyon is smart baseball coach
He has been one of those jumps
for long time. Just now he is
hooked UP with the Southern As
ISOLATION as an arbiter, and he eSr-
poets to get an offer from Dan
Hickey to call 'em as he sees 'em
in the American Association.
Guyon sees enough high-class pro
baseball at first hand to know his
oats. He will take what Eastern
gives him in the way Of men and
money and make something out Of
it. The Indian is especially good :,
at coaching young pitchers. In his,
day he has turned out quite a few
classy hurlers. -

the records Nurmi has shattered

The first appearance Of Nurmi In
Madison Square Garden saw a new

Joie Ray bettered the old mark and
yet was behind the flying Finlander.
Jimmy Connolly was inside the old
time and was no better than fourth.

record after record. He is now

Tonight Nurmi, unless he changes
his mind at the last moment, will
show Washington how he can travel
5000 yards against his own pet
watch. He will probably set a new
record for Convention Hall without
half trying. Those athletes chosen
to make pace for him are not in
his class and will do little more than
make his exhibition look like a race.

announcement Of a draw decision
at the end Of twelve rounds Of
sizzling action from Babe Herman,
Of California, and Bobby Garcia,
Of Camp Holabird, Maryland, at

Ringside critics, however, deemed
the verdict a just one because of
Garcia's tireless aggressiveness.
They felt that Herman had wasted
too much time in defensive boxing
to earn the decision.
Herman plans to leave for the
