In this connection It il expected
that the motor world simply will
take a hint from older forms Of
transportation.
At present it Ii possible to travel
between two American cities, by rail,
under several different classified.
tions Of service. One has the op-
tion Of journeying by day coach, by
chair car, by sleeper or by an even
more elaborate sleeping car service. i
Three Glasses Of Services
Three classes Of service in public
transportation by traction companies
not merely are advocated by one Of
the country's most outstanding trac-
ton magnates, but actually are be-
ing utilized. Recently he said in
support of his contentious:
I'm democratic America we don't
like to admit class difference in any,
thing-but nevertheless. we have it
in transportation.
I'VE have three classes of service
at three different rates. ORce we
recognize that condition fully, wen
begin to make real progress Ia de-
veiopment."

s0ral automobile 1t occupies a par.

be termed second-cIasS service.

class group along with the individual
automobile.

motoring are in evidence on the
streets and highways, and the

There are, however, some points
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-10-26

in connection with ones qualifica-
tons for first-class motor travel that
may not appear on the surface.
They do not necessarily have to do
with money.
Probably the most important
qualification is good citizenship.
Without this there il no assurance
OF ability to travel first-class, even
IL one travels in the most expensive
of cars, or extravagantly.
, One traffic officer can render mo-
tor travelling as inconvenient as the
college youths home made speedster.
ii the motorist fails to observe the
rules Of first-ciass motoring.
( The condition OF the car is an
other important factor. Travelling
first-class presupposes use of a car
that is a. credit to its owner and fully
safe for himself and other highway
users.
First-class highway travellers use
suitable means OF carrying their be-
lonsings and do not strap boxes
and bags all over the tenders and
running boards. They provide them
selves with up-to-date tour books
and maps. They do not leave the
countryside strewn with rubbish il
they stop for a wayside lunch from
the kit to save time. Usually they
carry two spares and adequate
equipment in the repair line so that
they win not have to beg help en-
route.
Most motorists are aiming for this
class Of motor travel. 1t IL a good
mark to aim for. and the more who
aim the higher all classes of motor
travel will become.

By the Associated Press.
Long a stumbling block for poten-
tial champions, the Boston Braves
have just completed the job Of clean
ing up a three-game series with the
Pittsburgh Pirates. The National
League situation was as jumbled to-
day as it was in mid-July, and there
is yet to be developed the real favorite
for championship honors.

Graw's cast-offs, pitched Boston to a

and this incident, coupled with the

phia. put DOME Bush's club one and

Carmen Hin, the National Leagues
leading pitcher, was thumped for the
Braves victory. but poor support
aided in his downfall. -
Guy Bush, one Of the Cubs pitch
ing nlainstays. got away to q shaky
start against the Pills. but steadied
down after his mates had batted Fer
guson for four runs in the second.
Cardinals Beat Giants.
The Giants finished up their series
In ST. Louis by dropping one to the
Cardinals, 60. Dutch Henry went to
pieces in the eighth after he had held
the world champions scoreless for
seven innings. The New York team
had visions Of a clean sweep in the
Mound City. but a six-run rally, fea-
tured by Frank Snyder's home run
with two on bases, exploded them with
a bang. The Giants. still hoping to
get into the championship race in
earnest, now will meet the Cincinnati
Reds and Pirates in order. and posi-
bly, after these series they will know
quite bit about their status.
Cincinnati was preparing for the
New York invasion by taking both

Aside from the inability Of John IN

Tigers. there was but one thing lack

twentieth anniversary testimonial yes
terday complete and adequate, in the
opinion of President Clark Griffith.
That was the failure to accord due
recognition to G. Il. Mccoy Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
the part he played in making Johnson
a member Of the Washington club.

ago occupied offices in the Colorado
Building, where President Ben Minor

go behind the bat in the first half of
