Funny Sports"
Among Chinese

Anking, May 20-(AP by Mail)-
Sports meets which are being held
throughout the Yangtze Valley in
central China are demonstrating the
lack of appreciation among Chinese
youth of the spirit of sportmanship
and the need of training along this
line. At an Anrwei meet recently a
government technical school was
playing basket ball with the local
Mission Cathedral school. The tech
nical school was ahead most of the
first half, but few minutes before
the whistle sounded the Cathedral
boys picked up and tied the score.
In the second half it became quite
obvious that the Cathedral team was
the stronger and would doubtless
win. The technical boys. seeing
themselves losing stopped playing on
the pretext that the baskets were not
round. They proceeded to tear down
the baskets, then went to the govern :
ment dressing building and wrecked
the place.
Two days later st. Pauls high
school in Anking was playing foot
ball against a local government
school. The head master Of the mis-
sion saw to it before the game that
the back gate to the grounds was un-
locked as a precaution against
trouble, st. Pauls won, and the
minute the game was over the win
ming team made a hasty exit through
the gate and hurriedly found refuge
in the mission compound, closely pur-
sued by the losers and their sup
porters ...-

Should the average player at
tempt to use the baffy?
By BOB CRUICKSHANK

In my opinion, the average players
game would be much improved If ne
would cultivate the use of the baffy
or spoon in preference to so much
play with the brassie. In the first
place, due to it's increased loft, the
baffy is the much easier of the two
clubs to play. The distance lost
over a shot with the brassie is only a
matter of dozen yards, and there
are so many more shots that can be
played with the baffy than with the
brassie. 1t is always advisable to
sacrifice distance for accuracy, and
the baffy meets these conditions ad-
mirably. Time and again have
found that players who complain of
the limitations of brassie play could
improve their games to remarkable
degree through the use Of the baffy
or spoon.

plicate matters and make motoring
unnecessarily hazardous.
BY mind power in motoring
the exponents of this idea meal,
fer instance, that a driver must
ne thinking about his driving when
he is not at the wheel. When he
is taking the car out OF the garage
he should be making inspections
of the car that will satisfy him
that when he puts his best mental
faculties to work later the machine
will be able to respond
A driver who gives his driving
serious thought viii be observing
enough to profit by watching traffic
from some advantageous point. He
will note what mistakes others
make, and will put himself in the
position of those who are faced
with unusual driving problems. He
will not merely gasp when some one
else has close call, but Will I'M
mediately try to seek the cause ana
mentally apply the remedy
One motori6t has this matter so
wei In hand that he can decide
what another driver should do when
something goes wrong. He is able
to see another scar start TO skid
and decide Instantly what the other
driver could do to forestall trouble.
Naturally 1t means much to himself
in the way of safety. With this
sort of practice solution of his
own problem would come more or
less automatica1l y. At least it would
require very little groundwork, for
much of his concentration is
being done in advance.
1t seems that concentrating on
driving In advance is the keynote
of the subject. It explains why
some people can jump Into their
cars and drive off without the
slightest BIT Of trouble while others
will get struck by passing car the

Chevrolet Lops SIS to $35
off Charges Through Ac-
ceptance Corporation

The new time payment purchase
plan Of the General Motors Accept
ance Corporation when applied to
tine purchase OF Chevrolet auto
mobiles makes the time payment
price OF the car from SIS to SIS
lower, according to G. Fl Dawson,
assistant general sales manager Of
the Chevrolet Motor Company.
Today the automobile Is a
necessity; it has long passed the
luxury stage" said Mr.. Dawson
Therefore, like other necessities,
the automobile logically may be
purchased out Of current income
and q majority of automobiles are
SO purchased.
Buy Out of Income
The q. M. A. G. plan enables
the purchaser to buy his car out
OF income without the imposition
OF heavy premiums. A Chevrolet
now may be bought on one-third
down payment and operated during
the year in which the payments
are being completed at an additional
cost OF only eight cents a day for
financing the time payments. This
eight cents, besides meeting all
interest and carrying charges, gives
the purchaser complete fire and
theft insurance coverage for the
year.
Heretofore, when dealers were
financing their time payment sales
through Independent finance COM
panies, the interest and carrying
charges varied greatly according to
the resources Of those companies
and the volume Of their business.
Charges Lowered
''The G. M. A. C. was organized
as an aid to the General Motors
| dealers so they might give their
patrons the benefit of lower interest
and carrying charges. Because of
its immense resources and the
steady volume of business which it
receives from the General Motors
| units, the G. M. A. C. enables deal
ers to reduce interest and carrying
charges.
THE G.. M. A. C. time payment
plan is dove-tailing perfectly with
the 6 per cent certificate plan by
which prospective Chevrolet owners
| are paid per cent interest on
money deposited toward first pay
| ment on a car. When this money
and the interest reach the sum of
down payment the car is de-
| liVered and the purchaser completes
his payments under the inexpensive

The new turn of affairs seems to
prove that the biggest safety idea
of the moment is for each driver to
get his mind on his driving. the
moment he takes the wheel instead
Of waiting until something startles
him into concentrating on the job.
This is demonstrated by a situa-
zion that Is common to notordom.
Almost every driver has experienced

light hearted and more or less ire

something almost happens. 1t
brings you to your senses with q
Jolt. You say to yourself, Say, old
man, this is a pretty important JOB
this driving a car over public
roads and streets. Get down to
business"
The trouble is that too many peo-
Die get down to business when it's
too late. The present movement In
the interests of concentration repre-
sents plan to educate the average
driver first to a sense Of the I'M
porfance Of his job and. second. to
the necessity for putting his mind
power to work the moment he takes
the wheel.
AS some have put the problem.
saThe mind, the whole mind and
nothing but the mind.
It's q far bigger subject than
appears on first thought. It ssn't

many experts find to be q ve-y

the mind intelligently.
Brain Fag Drivers
Some people get brain-fag driv-
ing, SO wasteful are they Of mind
power and so reluctant to know
the facts that would make the way
easy. Others rely upon reflex ac-
tons, instincts and the possibility
that the other drivers on the street

Fortunately, brakes, don't go bad
all at once, and as they become
less and less effective the driver
just naturally applies them earlier

The opposite fault with brakes
on the other hand, may exist Witls-
out the driver s realizing it, though
Il he did he would be just as eager
to correct it as to repair brakes
that fail to stop the car efficiently.
This second fault Is dragging

Majority Of night accidents, 1t is

drivers are tired but because they
give so little attention to the job

are on the frivolous thoughts OF
evening entertainments, parties,
dances, songs, cafes and theaters.
They tell themselves that there are
fewer cars on the streets and that
there is less need for caution. Mind

motorists disregard traffic signs
