AUTO EXPERTS.
LAUD 4-WHEEL
BRAKE THEORY
E. T. Strong and G. c. Max
we'll Quoted As Favoring
Widespread Use.

With an unusual amount OF atten-
ton being centered on claims that
the employment Of 4-wheel brake
equipment on all cars would reduce
the number of accidents and aid In
moving traffic more speedily to re-
lieve congestion, proponents OF the
4-wheel brake theory cite statements
of E. T. Strong, president OF Buick
Motors and G. G. Maxwell, formerly
a director Of Chrysler.
In the April issue of Printers
Ink, Strong is quoted as follows:
Fears Dissipated
"Four-whee1 brakes were every bit
as revolutionary as electric starting
People in general, even including
automotive engineering experts, were
frankly dubious about their practi-
cability. We all remember the pre-
diction that the quick stopping
which the brakes made possible,
would Inevitably cause many acct
dents in traffic. Automobile owners
and prospects not knowing the four
wheel brake principle were frankly
against it.
within twelve months after the
first public mention was made OF
four-wheel brakes, they were
standard equipment in substantially
every car made that sold for above
$1,000"
British Demand
Maxwell, in the March Is issue OF
the Wall Street Journal, speaking OF
the British public, is quoted as say
ing:
"Our British sales are up 100 per
cent on last season. The most pop
ular Chrysler model here is the TO-
Demand for the new four cylinder
so is very poor, due to the fact
that the four wheel breaking system
is not included in the equipment
Today prospective buyers lose all
interest in car when they find that
four-wheel brakes are not supplied
So much for the inconsistency OF not
placing four-wheel brakes on the

The point seems to have been over.
looked that Sharkey is to fight
fight on Thursday night and Rickard
is to promote it, But then, the other
party concerned is only Jack Demp-
sey and it appears to be getting so
nowadays that the boys have to look
beyond John when they begin to
think of the future.
AS to that, they even are looking
beyond Gene Tunney, the studious
recluse of the Adirondacks. Part of
the argument has had to do with
the locale of a. Tunney-S harkey fight
for the title, Richard fayoring Chi
cago, while Sharkey is holding out
for New York.
The rest Of it concerned
Sharkey's activities in 1928 as a
possible champion of the world.
In that assumed guise, he is de-
handing not one fight, but two
next year.
Oh, yes, the boys are getting to be
forehanded in these advanced times.
Anyhow. / am free to- admit I
hadn't heard that Richard was do
ing much pre-dated arguing with
Dempsey, the mere reverberating
shell; so perhaps the two members
of the local debating society figure
they are putting in their time to
good purpose.
The theme right now is Sharkey's
suddenly conceived aversion to Chi
ciga, where they charge $40 for
ringside seats and machine gunners
only with nianslaughter. Maybe
the boy orator can foresee q fast
one on the inside being slipped to
him as soon as he strays too far
from his Eastern environment, or it
may be that he just doesn't like Chi
cago for the same reason that he
didn't care yesterday for the red
trunks the local boxing commission
tried unsuccessfully to get him to
wear for Dempsey.
For one reason or the other,
and perhaps mostly neither, he
claims he has refused to sign
the nice new contract our Mr..
Richard drew up with loving
care for . Tunney fight.
II want the title, the money is
day. i've always been treated
well in New York and see no rea-
son for me to go elsewhere to do
my fighting now
The money, OF course, is secondary
In importance to Mr.. Richard, too.
However, he can be persuaded to
take 1t IL approached in the right
way. The most successful method
is to approach him blindfolded with
a fifty-dollar bill displayed con-
spicuously in the hat brin.
He will be found TO be very ap-
proachable at this time, in fact, be-
cause he has gone rather heavily
into extravaganza with assurances
to Mr.. Tunney, who is fair.minded,
but believes In d man keeping his
word In matters Of that kind.
In other words, a fight in which
Mr.. Tunney Is q participant will go
to Chicago, unless New York cares
to raise the ante, q possibility that
Is far from remote.

what makes it. Seems as
though everyone just stops hit

go bad and the first thing you
know you're dropping ball

And the slump is the real test OF
a great ball club. The ball club
that can take its slump when ii
comes, fight it off and get back
on its stride again in a hurry is a
!. club that is apt to make the most
trouble. I'm waiting now until the
Cubs hit their slump. If they can
go through 1t without losing too
much ground and II they can fight
their way back to winning ball
games in a hurry then they're apt

Cubs did once. But most clubs
don't.

any angler experienced in rock
