STAR EXTENDED ROOF
VISOR is POPULAR

A vogue of increasing popularity
is the extended roof visor as seen at
the shows on all Star cars, and also
on the exhibits of several of the high
er-priced automobiles.
Some sort of sun visor is an essen.
tial feature of all closed car design
The visor generally used in the past
has been a sheet steel form attached to
the front of the body over the wind
shield.
As this has a decided tendency to
rust throughout the caves and vibrate,
the better grade of cars adopted a
cover of artificial leather. This in
creased the life of the metal visor and
improved its appearance, but failed to
offset its greatest disadvantage, its
lack of harmony with the design of the
body itself.

With a compact power plant assem-

JOB
IN JEOPARDY

The desertion of thee holdout
ranks BY Butch FIenline. last years
captain and catcher of the Phila.
delphia Phils. is liable to bring
about an interesting situation IN
the first-base territory, where Jack
Bentley is at present devoting his
talents
While it seemed fairly certain
that the ex-Oriole ana Giant Wound
be able to fill the bill for the Phils.
Manager Fletcher announced that
he is going to try Butch out at
first base. Henline has had con-
siderable experience around the first
bag and has shown much patural
ability in the position.
Under the circumstances Fletch-
er's statement comes somewhat in
the nature of a surprise. and the
placing of Henline at the initial
hassock has two possible angles. 1t
may be that Fletcher's pitching
staff doesn't look as promising to
him as he would like in spite OF its
spring work and that he Is pre-.
pairing for emergencies. In case OF
flop he could switch Bentley to
the firing line and the hefty ex-
