FORD ENGINES TO Be BIG
COMPARED TO new RACERS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. Z.
The racing cars that will compete for
championship laurels in the gruelling
contests of the tracks and speedways
of the country next year will be
equipped with engines of approx
mately half the piston displacement of
a present-day Ford car.
According to an announcement from
the national headquarters of the Amer
lean Automobile Association, elaborat-
ing or an earlier announcement, auto
motive engineers, speedway and track
managers, racing drivers and the
A. A. A. contest board, which super
vises official racing, are in accord that
the time has come TO reduce the size OF
the engines operating in championship
events.
The new maximum displacement
will be only 81 IL cubic inches as
compared with the present maximum
displacement Of 10 cubic inches. The
Ford engine has a displacement OF
1867 cubic inches.
ONLY A. A. A. RACES.
1t was made clear that the new
standard will be obligatory only on
the racing cars competing at cham
pionship events held under the sane
ton of the A. A. A. contest board and
does not apply to races conducted
without official sanction and which do
not count for championship points or
for official records. =,
"The power, endurance and speed
developed by the present 10 cubic
inch engines has created a new land
mark in automotive development and
the time has come to reduce the engine
in order to afford a greater opportun-
ity for further refinemcnts," the con-
test board statement declared. 1t con-
tinucd:
1T is too early to say what the et-
feet of the reduction will have on ex-
listing speed records but it can be
safely predicted that it will not be
long until the new engines will develop
speeds and power at least up to pres
ent-day limits"
To show what racing has done, as
far as engine economy and speed de'
vclopment are concerned, the contest
board called attention to the fact
that the car in which Peter DePaolo

to replace Fred Marberry in later
years ms the super-rclicf pitcher of

Many are asking this question after
watching young Ballou in the relief
role twice during the recent Washing

In the game at Washington on Dc

A fierce Pirate rally was under

the great Pie Traynor was at bat to
make matters all the worse.
1t was n tight hole for youth
pitching his first world series ball to
break into. But It didn't faze the
mighty Ballou.
He whipped two flaming fast balls
down the hopper to put Pie Traynor i'll
the hole. Then Muddy Ruel, smart
little Nat catcher, took the whole
Pirate team off its feet with a piece
of strategy that rates as one of he
smartcst plays pulled during the Sc
rics.
Ruel called for a fast ball down
the middle. The dazed Traynor took
it. Barnhardt streakcd for second

DEVELOP MACHINES.

Engine development is noS the only
asset that has come out of the racing
crucible. Our engineers have found
out the practicability of four-wheel
brakes, of disk wheels, various types
of shock absorbers, ignition, oiling
and many other points because of the
tests given these devices by racing
drivers. A large portion of the credit
is due to American manufacturers
whose vision was equalled only by
their tenacity of purpose.
AS sport, automobile racing has
made steady progress and now vies
with football, baseball and prize fights
in the eyes of the public, which gives
it keen support. 1t is known fact
that no other sport can equal the at
tendance records of the 500-mile classic

indianapolis classic this year, Speed

The reduction to 81 IL. the stand

ASKS THREE YEARS
TO CLOSE ALLEYS
Dr.. WaIdron Says 1t Would
Be UnWise to Empty All
Houses at Once.

Congress should pass the bill pro-
viding for the closing of the alley
dwellings of Washington within three
years, at the rate of one-third an
nually, in the opinion of Rev. j. Mil
ton Waldron, president of the Alley
Improvement Association and the
Emergency Housing Association.
DR.. Waldron, who for many years
has been a leader in the movement
to abolish Inhabited alleys in the Dis
trict, said today he did not believe
there has been any appreciable reduc-
ton In the number of alley jewellers
in the past few years.
Wants Three-Year Period.
Il agree that it would be unwise to
close all of the alley houses at one
time" said DR.. Waldron, but 1 be-
lieve they could be done away with
gradually over three-year period
without undue hardship"
A bill to put the three-year closing
plan into effect is pending in Con-
| gress, but DR.. Waldron admitted he
did not see much hope of having IT
enacted at this session.
Alley House Population.
The latest count made by A S. j
Atkinson, building inspector in charge

dwellers in 2.544 alley houses DR.
Waldron believes the number is
nearer 10000.
A law designed to eliminate alley

tive in June, 1928. Doubt arose, how

Both the contemplated bridges
would be of the cantilever type rep
resented by the present Greensboro
Bridge across the East River. The
first to cost S6,5S3. 900, would extend
from Elizabeth, n. j., to Rowland
Hook, on Staten Island. The second
the cost to be S10,122,S00. would
stretch from Tottenville, Staten Is
