Scobey Wants County
School Located There

Scobey, Jan. 23.-Scobey has
filed as a candidate for the location
of the proposed county high school,
should the idea Garry when the mat
ter comes up to the voters at q
special election which will be held
some time early in the spring.
1t was necessary to file a petition
with so Dames of freeholders in the
county. and the necessary names
were produced and the petition filed
with the county clerk and recorded
in proper form. The high school
idea has been growing throughout
the county, although there is OF
course opposition in some of the
other towns, and a little in the
country, where the proposition is
not looked upon altogether as q
practical one.
However. it seems to be the best
plan available at present and those
working for the plan feel hopeful
that the matter is becoming more
fully understood among the voters
and that it will carry.

IMPACT OF
DIFFERENT TIRES

The United States bureau OF public
roads, in a statement just issued on A
series of recent tests to determine the
magnitude of the impact OF different
kinds of motor truck tires I'VE a pc
riod of four years, declares that
thickness and narrownes Of tread
rubber are desirable in reducing road
impact and that increasing the thick
ness or profile height Of rubber has q
very marked effect In reducing road
impact in both single and dual mount
ings.
The experiment In finding out the
relative amounts Of impact exerted on
road surfaces by different kinds of
motor truck tires was called the
'static test" 1t consisted, according
to the bureau, in mounting of a tire
in a machine and slowly applying
loads, noting the vertical reflections
as indications for sketching deforma-
ton curves. The hardness of the tread
rubber was measured by an instru-
ment known as a barometer.
The bureau, in using the test ma
chine, stated that In applying the test
data 1t should be remembered that an
impact force, expressed in pound
units, does not necessarily have the
same effect upon materials as a static
force Of the same numerical value In
pounds. The important conclusions
to date" are given In full text as fol-
lows:
/. Maximum impact forces obtained
with motor truck tires In service al
be measured with an accuracy suf1-
cient for the needs Of this investiga-
tiOn.
2 As static load increases, road i'm
pact reaction increases
8. As static load increases, the
ratio Of road impact reaction to static
load decreases.
4. Thickness and narrowness Of
tread rubber are desirable In reduc-
ing road impact reaction.
5. Increasing the thickness or pro-
file height Of rubber has a very marked
effect In reducing road impact reac-
ton in both single and dual mount
ings.
6. In the tire equipments tested, all
Of which were standard at the time Of
the tests, dual mounting caused heav-
Ter impact forces than the correspond
ing single mounting Of the same total
load-carrying capacity. (This was de-
termined on a pneumatic-tired, two
ton truck and a solid-tired, fve-ton
truck.)
z. Appreciable variation of cross
sectional rubber, or breaks in its con-
tinuity, cause heavy repeated impacts
to be delivered to the road.
g Dual-mounted tires should al
ways be mounted with the tread de-
sign staggered.

POLO OUTLOOK DARK
Lack of Good Ponies is Proving a Great Handicap to Players Of Game In England.

London, April 1o CP-Polo pros poets are none too bright for this season in England. The lack of good ponies is proving a great handicap. Only six teams are entering the field and their composition is much the same at last year. Younger players are prevented from entering the game very largely because of the cost Of mounts.
 Lord Wodehouse's Harlsqulns. which won last years championship cup. have disbanded, and Lord Wodehouse has Joined Captain Guests Templeton team. The Hurricanes include Major Slockett, who has recovered from the injury he sustained 10 his hand in the United States last year. Major Harrison and Captain Roark, who was one Of last years best players and played on the English team in America, also are with the Hurri- canes.
 The Scopwickians, under Colonel Vernon Wiley, are a dependable team. The Whatcomhle team. which has made a good showing for two years, again is in the field. The Seventeenth and TwentyFirst Lan- cers Subalterns are the other two teams.

Alex Tells Secrets
 Of Pitching Success

have pitched close to 500 games in my career in the National league and. of course, I have not won all of them. l have taken my trounc- ings like all of the boys. but I guess there are three games that stand out most prominently.
 The one that gave me the biggest thrill was the 2 to 2 tie of 19 in- nings in the fall series of 1925 be- tween the Cubs and the White Sox Here was the old boy, close to 40, still standing the severe pace.
 l enjoyed pitching that game, for 1t convinced me that the arm still had plenty of fire in 1t. The Sox scored their runs in the third inning and couldn't touch me again until darkness stopped the battle.
 felt so free and smooth that aft ernoon, in. spite of the damp. cold. raw weather that l believe I could have pitched 19 more innings.
 The game that brought the sad dest heart throb in my career was played In St. Louis during the sum- mer of 1915. After a pitcher has been at it so long he craves for the fame of a no-ht game. And here was one all but in my hip-pocket.
 Only one batter had reached first base on me up to the ninth inning with two out. Ludcrus miss cd a slow, twisting grounder down ,he first base line that allowed Mil Ter Higgins to reach first base.
 That was all right, for I travel cd on without allowing the Card- inals a hit up to retiring two in the ninth.
 Artie Butler was the batter. I was never so determined in all my was good and fast back in 1915 and l dipped two curves past him. He swung and missed. One more was all l needed to get over. Another burning curve, and stepping away. he clipped 1t for dinky pop fly 10 shallow center Dave Bancroft and Dode Paslicrt tried to get it, but the ball fell between them for one Of those pop singles. have never been that close to no-hit game since, and l guess l never will be again.
 One Of the best games ] ever pitched was loser--the 2-1 defeat I suffered in the 1915 world series with the Red SoX. l pitched better in that game than when l won the opener. 3-1, allowing five hits. three of which were flukes.

MARY K. BROWNE
 NAMED TENNIS PRO
Net Star Gets New Position al
 WetchSter Club

New York. April 1a tP-Ensage- ment Of Miss Mary k. Browne as tennis professional at the new Westchester Women's Golf and Ten his club wa. announced today.
 Coincidentally, the executive com- mittee of the United States Golf as sociation meets today to consider the status of Miss Browne as an amateur golfer as result Of her de- parture from professional tennis ranks las. summer to accept an of- fer from C. c. Pyle and tour the country with Suzanne Lenglen.
 The question Of whether renun- citation of amateur standing in one sport means forfeiture of amateur standing in another is one the asso- citation has never before been called upon to answer.
 Being one of the country's lead ing feminine performers in golf as we'll as tennis, Miss Browne is anx- !ous to preserve her amateur stand ing on the links although she has renounced 1t on the court.
 In accepting the offer of the West chester club. which Miss Glenna Col lett and Miss Marie Jenney are prominent In organizing. Miss Browne will capitalize her tennis ability alone. Jock Hutchison, for mer British open champion. has been engaged as golf professional, the announcement said. Both ap- polntments are to take effect next year. Miss Browne previously has confined her professional tennis ef- forts to exhibition games. Hutchi- son Is now the professional at the Glen View Golf club, Chicago.

Some one has said that records in all branches of sports were simply made to be broken.
 Perhaps that is true, but 35 years ago. Wilbert Robinson. now man. aging the Brooklyn club Of the National league, but then playing with Baltimore. hung up a record that has survived.
 Batting against three Of the crack pitchers of the St. Louis club Getzein, Young and Breitenstein--- Robinson made seven hits in as many trips to the plate. Six Of them were singles, one was double. Despite the fact he reached first every time up. he scored only one run, due to the lack of a timely hit on the part of the players who fol- lowed him in the batting order.
 Since June 10, 1892, the greatest hatters in the American and Ma tional leagues have been shooting in vain at Robinson's record of seven hits in seven times at bat in one game.
 In the National league o5 players have made six hits In one game. while nine American leaguers have turned the same trick, but Wilbrt Robinson stands alone as the only player in the history Of the major leagues to make seven hits in seven times at bat in a regulation nine inning game.

TO OBSERVE 5lST YEAR IN BASEBALL
'0ld Roman" Has Made His Entire Fortune From Game

Chicago. April 1s CF-Charles A. Comiskey. the Old Roman. will cele- brate the home inaugural of his 51st year in baseball tomorrow in an en- larged ball park. built entirely from earnings from the national game.
 Of all the baseball club owners, Comiskey is said to be the only one whose fortune (reputed one of the largest in the major leagues) was made entirely from baseball.
 Comiskey's first ball park seated l5,o0o and it's greatest crowd was during the 1906 world series when 23,0QO were jammed inside its four wooden walls. Comiskey's newest park, enlarged and rebuilt since the close of the 1926 season. will seat 5000 and can accommodate 6o,0oO.
 Comiskey began his professional baseball career at the age of IT as a third baseman at Milwaukee for s6o a month, convincing his father that the plumbing trade was not for him. One year there and he went to Elgin, H.. as g. pitcher and won every game for season. The next year he went to Dubuque, Iowa, where he developed into first base man and became the first to discover that the initial guardian was not necessarily anchored with one foot to the bag.
 Four years there and he graduat- ed to the St. Louis Browns. winning four pennants with them. One year with the Brotherhood team in Chi cago and he went back to St. Louis transferring a year later to the Cin- cinnati Reds, where he began to lay foundations for the Western league and later the American league with Ban Johnson.
 In 1910 after ten years of success with the Chicago White SoN he built the present Comiskey park at q cost of I750,O00.
 This year he added s900.000 to the investment, increasing the seating capacity with double decked stands around the entire field except a tiny section of unroofed bleachers ill center field.
 For many years Comiskey' S health has been a matter of concern but two years of outdoor life made him again a vigorous figure in the conduct of his club. He is 6S years old.

FALCONS START SUNDAY
KY Team of New Haven to Furnish Opposition Against Locals In First Game of Year.

The Falcon A. C. baseball team will open the season Sunday with the fast KY team of New Haven as the opposition. Manager John Cabay is following out his announced inten- tions of having only the fastest teams in and around the state here this year and he has picked a tartar for the opening day.
 Following two practice sessions, the Falcons will have the opportu- nifty Of trying out various combina- tions under fire next Sunday. The New Haven crew always has been q fast travelling outfit and this year s squad will be no exception. Coach "Chucky" Wojack has looked the squad of candidates over pretty closely and he expects to have a strong combination face the invaders.
 No decision has been reached on the pitching selection for the first game. 1t is probable that most all of the twirlers will be given work out against the New Haven club.
 The Falcons will practice again on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock and from the showing to be made by the men trying out for the team, the starting lineup will probably be picked The game will be started about 3 o'clock.
