 Speaking of the hre department, one should look at the ire losses throughout the entire country and then compare them with the losses in New Britain. The New Britain fire department deserves praise for its efficient work. It is doing effi- cient work. and nothing but the highest praise can be accorded 1t.

OLDS REDUCES THE
MAINTENANCE COST

Preventative maintenance is the
medium that assures both pleas
ure and economy to the motor car
owner, according to T. H. Siam
bough, general service manager OF
Oldsmobile. He says that the
progressive dealer, realizing the
importance of preventative main
tenance, is making it al integral
part of his business.
I'VE have developed three meth
DDS to foster preventative main
tenance in the Oldsmobile organi-
zation," Mr.. Stambaugh says. They
are the design of the car; training
men in economical methods and
educating our owners in the value
of regular car inspections.
what our engineers have ac-
complished in design is strikingly
illustrated in our New Oldsmobile.
Simplicity and ease of servicing
have dominated their work. The
new engine is one of the 'cleanest'
ever designed, having fewer wires,
gas and oil lines, parts and ac-
c%essories exposed than is usual.
This one factor means greater
ease and accessibility in maintain
ing the car. Another feature of
the design is the large ports hat
open into the valve mechanism
chambers of the engine, giving a
quick and easy access to these
parts.
"Our service engineers constant
ly are seeking quicker and simpler
methods of performing necessary
maintenance operations. Special
time saving equipment is design
ed which will facilitate any work
required and lowers maintenance
costs. Our branch, distributor
and dealer service organizations
are trained in their use as well
as the preventative maintenance

XOU probably have heard tina
young Roland Hancock, the
unknown from North Carolina
was "galleryed out" of the ma.
tional open golf championship, but
don't you believe it. He was
talked out" of the title and that's
the real story of his failure at
Olympia Fields on the last day of
the open tournament.
It's rather difficult to figure out
why Hancock listened to advice
from an almost perfect stranger
whose only qualification to hand
out advice was the numerous
badges of authority pinned on
him. Especially since Hancock
had gone along so nicely, relying
solely on his own Judgment for
70 holes.
But he listened to some terrible
advice so terrible that Grantland
Rice told the giver of that advice
so, and it cost Hancock the title
and that $4,000 which any pro
can pick up while wearing the
championship crown.
That final day of the tourna-
ment is probably easily remem
bered-how Jones and Farrell
came in with 294s and Hagen
cracked and young Hancock, after
a brilliant 80 going out, was
storming in on the last nine with
the best chance in the world of
grabbing the title. 1t looked like
. certainty for the unknown.
With only two holes remaining
70 play. Hancock needed ten to
rim. The thousands Of fans raj

practices, which is a real service
to Oldsmobile owners.
"At the same time we impress
upon Oldsmobile owners that adj
vantages of bringing their cars to
the service~station at regular in
tervals for general fabrication in
spection and adjustments.
preventative maintenance is
the same insurance of good auto
mobile performance as the annual
visit to the doctor and dentist is
assurance of good health and Of
sound teeth. In other words 1t
is the stitch in time that saves
many stitches later on"

IN THE WORLD OF Q
A FAT BATTING AVERAGE DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN A REGULAR JOB WITH A
MAJOR LEAGUE CLUB ONCEA HITTER, ALWAYS A HITTER
BY PHILIP MARTIN

A S examples of the theory that
a fat batting average doesn't
always mea a regular job with
q major league ball club, we cite
the cases of Goose Goslin, Eddie
Morgan and Larry Bettencourt.
Just a glance at the batting
averages of the American League
sufices to show that these three
players are boasting swatting
marks which include them among
the Is leading batters of the
league and one of them is the
leader-but they are not regulars.
And it doesn't take any expert
on baseball to explain why they're
sitting on the bench and enacting
the role of pinchhitters more than
regulars.
You a dismiss Goslin easily
a bad arm which is so bad that a
400 batting average isn't enough
to keep that bad arm in there.
Lack of experience explains
pOtIl MOl San anu 0OttCiSOult
Goslin's hitting was needed by
the Senators and Manager Bucky |
Harris thought Shortstop Reeves
could run out to left field and
throw in for Goslin every time a
ball went out there. But that
caddying job got the best of
Reeves and he began to wear down
and suffer-so Harris benched
Goslin in order to prevent running
one of the best shortstoppers in
the circuit.
Morgan came up from the
Southern Association and was
touted as one of the best pros
poets unearthed by major league
clubs this year. He has had his
chance at center field and at third
base and his .345 mark with the
club isn't enough to warrant his
playing either position regularly.
He can't field. Now, the Indians
are talking about playing him at
first base. At any rate, there's
something wrong and it isn't his
hitting.
Bettencourt jumped right from
college without any minor league I
seasoning to the Browns and was z
in at third base. He did i
well. He hit hard and timely.

PITY ROLAND HANCOCK, THE UNKNOWN GOLFER FROM NORTH CAROLINA,
WHO PERMITTED HIMSELF TO BE TALKED OUT OF THE OPEN TIT: = {

What did bother him wac one
Silas M. Newton, whose golf 5ame
is nothing to brag about u,- who
is n of those fellows always
anxious to be around when a new
hero is created.
Hancock's tee shot on the 18th
went in the rough and his second
shot landed deep in the bunker
near the green. He could have
played out safely on to the green
and taken a par for the hole, but
in stepped Newton with his adj
vice and he didn't!
Newton volunteered to look
over Hancock's lie and then said
there was only II thing to do
and that was shoot for the pin.
No one else in the crowd thought
that THAT vas the thing to do
but Hancock did, on Newton's
suggestion. and he drove the ball
straight across the green into the
crowd and before he hoIed in had
taken a six.
On the 18th tee, he hooked his
drive into some nearby trees and
before he got out of this mess his
chances for the championship had
away.
Under ordinary circumstances,
he could have played those two
holes in fives easily. and won. But
he didn't-and that's that.
OF course, true sportsman that
he is, Hancock complained none
over his defeat. He took it gra-
,iously-taking all the blame on
ais own poor shooting.
He could have blamed the ad-
ice taRen-but he didn't.
