Graham Brothers Make
New TWO-TOn Truck

The latest additions 20 the line of
commercial cars and trucks being
sold by Dodge Brothers dealers are
two new types Of two-ton capacity.
Like their smaller predecessors the
new chassis will be supplied with p
variety of bodies suited to practically
every requirement. Two lengths only
are made-the shorter, for nine-foot
bodies, has a wheel base of 1877 inches
and the longer, which is for 12-fooS
bodies, has wheel base of 1872 inches.
Both chassis are equipped only with
pneumatic tires, with either single OK
dual rears optional. Where single
tires are used 32X6 inch size are
fitted in front and 34x7 inch at the
rear. For dual rear tire equipment
disc wheels are standard with 34x5
inch tires both front and rear.
The pressed steel frame side rails
for the shorter chassis are seven
inches deep and for the larger Is
inches. Due to the lower bending
moments in the short frame its thick
ness is three e-sixteenths inch While
that of the longer frame is one-fourth
inch. Front springs on both chassis
are 81 inches long, two inches wide
and have nine leaves, while the rear
springs are Sc inches long, three
inches wide and have IL leaves. The
semi-floating rear axles employ 81
spiral bevel gear final drive with
reduction of 6.286 to 1. Both service
and hand brakes are of an INTERNAL
self aligning type operating in heavy
pressed steel drums at the rear hubs.
The brakes are so connected that the
pedal operates all four bands while
the brake lever actuates only two.
This feature, it is declared, insures
long life and even wear of the brake
facings.
"This new and larger truck en-
bodying the same well-tried construc.
tional features found in G a h a M
Brothers one-ton and ron -and-a-hal1
trucks, declared William Aberts of
the Stafford -Alberts Auto company,
local Dodge Brothers dealers, fills
a long felt need for an equally sturdy
unit capable of handling heavier loads.

Billy
EVANS
OUHS F
Anent Phil Ball

Fate has been rather unllind this
year to Phil Ball, owner of the st.
Louis Browns.
His team had come fast at the close
of last season to finish in third place
and everything seemed lovely for big
year in 1926.
Some of the experts were kind
enough to express the opinion that the
Browns should prove strong pennant
contenders. Owner Ball rather shared
in the belief.
Back in 1922 the Browns had been a
contender and many times during that
season it would have been possible to
fill the park if it had been twice as
large.
Cherishing the thought that the
Browns would be in the race this year
from start to finish, even though it
failed to win the pennant, Owner Ball
decided the park should be remodeled,
the seating capacity doubled.
Saw Big Season
When Phil Ball makes decision he
Immediately starts to execute it. At
the close of last season work was
started on the new park
In the spring the st. Louis Cardinals
and Browns played two games. The
Browns won both from Manager Horns
by's team, then strongly favored as. a
National league contender.
All things certainly pointed to big
year for the st. Louis Browns. 1t
looked as if the quarter of million
dollars spent in park Improvement
would be cleared up in the first year.
Then the team proceeded to perform
contrary to the predictions of the eX-
perts. Instead of being pennant con-
tender the Browns have been in the
second division all season. Seventh is
about the best the club can finish.
The Cardinals, on the other. hand,
have figured in one of the most thrill
ing races of years in the National
league.
So it turns out that Phil Ball remod-
eled his ball park so that his rival club
might profit by his sct.
Pull for Cards
st. Louis, it so happens is the only
city in the National and American
leagues that has never won a pennant.
The baseball public is always with
eoSO
down the stretch between Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati and st. Louis, the Cardinals
are most favored, with Cincinnati a
close second.
It was the same in 1924 when Wash
ington won it's first American league
pennant The sympathy of the base
ball world was with the Senators and
against the Yankees, who had won
three pennants in a row.
Last season, as the Philadelphia Ath-
letics made a great fight against
Washington, the support of fandom
went out to Mack's club.
The public likes to see champion
overthrown That is one reason why
Cincinnati and st. Louis are the choice
over Pittsburgh, world champs of last
season.

LouGHAM OPPOSES JACK

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept. IL
Tommy Loughran, IT'S pound dynamo
from Philadelphia, today gave Jack
Dempsey, worlds heavyweight cham
pion, the most aggressive workout
Dempsey has experienced since he
started training for his title contest
against Gene Tunney.
Loughran, boxing Dempsey for the
first time, stepped two wicked rounds
with the champion. He carried Demp-
sey along at a terrific pace, forcing
him to extend himself to the limit
to avoid being shown up. Loughran
masterful boxer, had no trouble i'll
popping straight lefts into Dempseys
Redeemed face and shooting over
rights to the chin.
Dempsey apparently did not enjoy
the Spectacle of being on the receiy-
ing end Twice he crowded Lough-
ran into the ropes, cutting loose
with a furry of punches as if he
was fighting in earnest. In the sec
on dround, after Loughran had nailed
Dempsey with left hook, Jack drove
a left to the pit of the stomach that
slowed Loughran up. few SECONDS
later Loughran jerked Dempsey off
balance as he was coming in and
the champ sprawled into the ropes
nearly falling down. Dempsey how
ever, got even for this trick by
backing Loughran into the ropes
and scoring four punches without
a return.
AS the round ended, Dempsey
crowded the Philadelphia into
corner and nailed him on the chin
with left hook. 1t looked as if
Loughran was going to crumble but
he survived the furious exchange.

CARDINALS and
YANKEES TANCLE.
I'm Y CONTEST.

Douglas will have an opportunity
to witness a six game baseball series
between the Yankees and Cardinals
during the week from September 20
to rs when e. J. Huxtable, captain
Of the former team, and S. L. Klutz,
manager of the latter outfit, with
gle in the annual fall Y. M. G. A.
membership contest.
True to form, Huxtable has selected
men of rather an over-abundance of
averdupois to represent the Yankees,
believing that weight counts more
than experience. Like all good gen
erals he not only has one good team,
but two teams of equal merit, and
a good supply of pitchers.
Klutz, who has made fame at
railroading, is willing to take his
chances with men who are longer in
limb than waist, and will line up 18
or 20 players of proven merit who
will represent the Cardinals.
Directors of the Young Mems Chris
tian association, who approved the
campaign at their meeting last week,
wish to point out that this is the
regular fall campaign for members.
Last year the campaign was held in
October, but it was deemed wise to
have it a few weeks earlier this
year because of other events coming
up next month, and because it is
desired to start the bowling season
earlier than has been the custom in
past years.
Two campaigns per year are held
by the Y. M. c. A., one being held
in the fall of the year for regular
members, the other being held in
January for sustaining members. Di-
rectors are very careful in their
membership set-up to see that the two
campaigns are not confused nd that
those who are to be seen in Janu-
ary arc not solicited in tae fall. This
year, 1926, to meet a special emer-
gency, special contribution of small
amounts was asked from the people
in July, but directors wish 20 en-
phatically state this is not to be a
regular occurrence.
The committee having charge of
the fall campaign consists of II. w.
Williams, w. r. Davis, and Joe
Carlson, Jr.
