Refuse to Consider Men
Guilty on Say-so of
dutch" Leonard.
BY CLARK B. KELSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dee. 23.- Byron Ban
croft johnson, president of Ameri-
can league, today took the spotlight
in baseball's latest scandal.
Interest centered in the president
of the junior circuit when fandom,
recovering from the first shock of
the expose which linked the names
of Ty Cobb and iris Speaker, two
of baseball's greatest idols, with
alleged betting on Il ball game, turn
ed toward johnson to see what
statement he will make.
so far johnson has refused to
comment.
He did say, most emphatically,
that he was sorry the story "brokc '
at this time.
Meanwhile, the fans, getting down
to a sane discussion of the matter,
are almost universally back of the
two stars, who were accused by
Dutch Leonard, former left handed
pitcher, of betting on ball game
that was fixed. -
The fans refuse to believe that
Cobb and Speaker are guilty of any
wrongdoing. They point to both
men S records, even in the game in
question, when the box score showed
that the two had good records for
the day.
Cobb To Fight
From Augusta, Ga, Tvs home
town, came word that "wc re going
to fight the charges to a finish -.
Reports from Cleveland, where
Speaker lives, said that several in
flucntial citizens are backing Iris.
Local fans want a public hearing
held where Leonard can bring out
his evidence to prove his charges.
Until the charges are proven at a
public hearing it will be Il risky
thing to accuse either of the two
stars of wrong doing AT any of the
places hero where baseball is dis
cusScd.
Whether the two ball players viii
demand the hearing is not known.
Commissioner Lands is willing to
hold it,
Cobb 8 contention that Leonard
made his charges Just to get re
vcngc on me, was borne out in a
communication received here from
Dick Kerr, the diminutiVc White
SoN pitcher who won two games in
the crooked world series of 1919.
Leonard told me "A year ago,
Kerr said, "that he would get even
with Cobb, or die in the attcmpt.

Well built cars. as I told Smith. are
designed with stronger springs on the
drivers side of the car, so that his
weight will not cause sagglng. This
is proof that the car builders and de-
signers appreciate the Importance OF
weight distribution and empha tically

No. 16,: Placing the Cars Cargo.

When Smith goes touring it has
become a custom for the car ltsel1 10
wander into strange adventures. be
cause he always loads it in such a
vav that IL is prevented from taking
the roads in the ordinary way.
Smith has,yet to learn how to load his
car for best results, considering RID.
ing qualities of the car and wear and
tear on it,.
On a recent trip / happened alons
lust as he was unloading Tor the
night 1t offered a good opportunity
to point out his mistakes.
Perhaps the most obvious error was
his plan of carrying practically all Oh
the luggage on the rear. Ihe car
was equipped with trunk. and on
top of this he had piled an extra grip
Of large dimensions. Even the rear
bumper was being used AS part of the
luggage. carrying equipment. Alto
eethers there was something more
than one hundred pounds of baggage
carried on the rear, not counting three
fairly heavy persons on the BACK
seat.
This is rather bad distribution of
weight isn't it?" | asked, when he
started unstrapping the luggage. Il
wouldn't be positive about it, hut !
think your car Is little out of hal
ance even when not loaded Then
you come along and load down the
rear with lot of misplaced weight.
Smith wanted to know what l
meant by "out of balance
What Balance Means.
"A perfectly balanced car is one
that shows correct distribution or
weight" | explained. with a driver
of average weight at the wheel the
car should register the same on A
vehicle scales for front wheels or
rear. 1t is mistake to test equality
of weight distribution while the car Is
empty, because no car is ever used
without a driver.
"If you are going to be accurate.
and you find that the car is we'll bal
anced. you should aim to place the
luggage farther forward If a. heavy
load of passengers is to be placed in
the rear. These fender. or running
board, trunks that are placed rather
far toward the front are excellent for

| evenly. Remember that when you
tour you carry a full tank of gas.
! There may be an extra spare tire and
| rim on the rear. This helps to load
down the hack of the car and suggests
! the advantage of trying to load the
| front as much as possible.
.'If Mrs. Smith doesn't want to ride
| on the front seat with you and likes
| the rear seat because it is more com
| Portable. why don't you put some of
the baggage on the floor beside YOU?
This keeps more Of the weight
| forward"
, Smith interrupted at this point to
ask what difference 1t made Ii the rear
| of the car was weighed down more
| than the front. 1t is d natural ques-
| ton and there are several good
answers.
Wears Tires Unevenly.
In the first place. any deviation in
| weight distribution results in uneven
tire wear Braking IS materially
affected in some cars when there is
! too much weight forward or rear. II
q car is built to display fairly per-
feet distribution of weight the rear
springs are apt To he unsuited tor eN-
cersiye cargo Thus If the back of
the car Is loaded DOWN tne rear
springs "bottom" all the time and are
quite likely TO break. The car will
ride without any apprecidhle spring
action in the rear. and il NY any
chance the occupants of the car are
not uncomfortable under such condi-
lions the evidence is that the tires
are absorbing all the road shocks.
And they are not designed to handle
the work of the springs in addition
to their own.
When mentioned the fact that eX-
cessive weight on the rear of the car
increased the chances Of skiddine.
Smith was ready to argue. for to his
way of thinking the car was safer

AUTO PROPULSION
IDEA OF. LONG AGO
Universal Joint, Now So Use.
full in Motoring, Developed
in Thirteenth Century.

They did not have automobiles back
in the thirteenth century. but some
architect Of that period developed
pretty we'll the principles that are In
volved in that peculiar mechanism
the universal joint-that now serves
so valuable a purpose in propelling
the. modern car.
The above point is made by c. w.
Spicer. writing in the Journal of the
Society of Automotive Engineers.
Explaining the factors that make the
universal joint a relatively freakish
mechanism, Mr.. Spicer writes:
Its popularity lies in the fact that
as the angle between the two shafts
that 1t unites increases beyond A few
degrees the joint inparts to the driven
shaft a non-uniform rotating speed.
and this becomes very erratic as the
angle approaches 80 degrees or right
angle
Driven Shaft Jumps.
The driven shaft then suddenly
jumps ahead Of the driving shaft for
about half revolution and then
stands almost still waiting for the driv-
ing shaft to catch up, after which It
makes another jump.
I'm motor cars it Is seldom neces-
sary to use universal joints at great
angles. and by using pair Of Joints
and an intermediate shaft. the err
ratio action of one joint is made to
compensate that of the other, so that
the shafts rotate at nearly uniform
speed"
Much inventive effort has been ex.
pended upon the designing Of satisfac.
tory universal joints for automobiles.
and the ideal sought by engineers,
says Mr.. Spicer, Is joint that will
work satisfactorily with no fabrication
or other attention. and last as long as
