What 1929 Auto Leaders Think
Of Car Production Mergers Aplanes Motorists Traffic


Certain events related to automo-
tive progress during 1928 have set
that year apart as one Of the most
significant In the history Of the au-
tomobile.
It was q year Of mergers Of great
Automotive corporations, the year Of
new record In automotive produce
ton, the year Of Henry Ford's return
to mass production, and that Of
Chevrolet's abandonment Of the four
TO mention only few OF the out
standing occurrences.
Why all these events occurred 1t
this time, what the meaning Of these
events Is and what 1t is all coming
to now tease the minds of many per-
sons interested in this great indus
try. To learn all this, or at least
get an idea Of what It's all about,
some of the leading automobile max
ers, heads Of automotive associations
and leaders in activities relating to
automotive progress were approached
with specific questions on the sub
ject.
The answers to these questions have
been compiled especially for The
Tribune though the courtesey Of
NEA Service. Inc. AS short as most
Of them are, they reveal what the
big minds Of the industry think Of
the present future Of the automobile
Here are the questions put to each
and the answers returned: 81

the Junior champ. Staubley and Con-
Their match was held over yesterday
because Of the heavy double program
involving Staubley and his partner,
Love.
Staubley and Love scored over Her

morning encounter yesterday, only to
fall victim later to the superior steadi-
ness of Bob Newly and Everett Simons

ment, 10, rs, 81. Several times in
the critical set, the losers held the ad-
vantage game, but were repulsed short
of match point on each occasion. Newly
and Simons, after less than 10 minutes
rest, went into a semi-final match with
O'Neu and Shoemaker, who bested
them, 6-3, 6-3.
Mitchell and Buchanan, defending
champions in the doubles class, scaled
the last bar to the title round when
they downed Bob ConSidine and Her.

proved the weak link in the challeng-
ing team, serving a number of costly
double faults and proving less steady on
his drives than any of the remaining
trio Be 1t said for Shepard, however,
that the Montrose team was pounding
him as hard as they could. knowing
that to feed the ball to Considine was
little short OF suicidal, especially with
the latter in the forecourt. where he
camped throughout the greater part of
the match.

r OW comes the latest wrinkle in
this constant whirl of golf
tournaments, this time in the
form of a tournament with
g.,

great possibilities for consider
able fun and action, even outside the
routine of making golf shots. For Jim
Preston, the ever-active public links
ranged husband and wife tourna-
ment. which is to start at once over the
Roc kCreek Park course. with l6 pairs
placed together in match play TO fight
it out with niblick and putter (and
possibly the floor mop) for the husband
and wife championship of the uptown
municipal course.
The possibilities are tremendous, and
Jim, the irrepressible, senses them 10
the utmost. 1t may be imagined, after
taking resounding defeat at the
hands of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, that Mrs
Jones may awake in the middle of the
night and. casting her voice in the di-
rection of her erring spouse, give vent
to something like this: Hey. john
you caricature of Bobby Jones, what
was the big idea of topping that brassie
shot on the eighteenth hole? Didn't
you see that Smith had placed hic
left, and that all you had to do was
knock your shot out in the middle of
the fairway. What fine golfer you
turned out to be. If golf cups grew
on trees, you would break your arms.
Furthermore, John. know we can
trim those Smiths. If 1t hadn't been
for your doggone foolishnesS We might
have had a chance to win. But you
spilled the beans when you knocked the
ball into that ditch" And so on, far
into the night. Jim's idea has posi-
bilities, and it is quite within the
bounds of reason that all the battles
that will be fought in this husband and
wife tourney, which now Is under way.
will not be waged on the golf course.
Anyhow, here are the pairings as an
nounced by Preston: Mr. and Mrs. T. p
Hayden VS.. Mr.: and Mrs. w. S. Gil
christ, Mr.. and Mrs. j. T. Powell VS..
MIR. and Mrs. Charles Olvey, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. Frank Sunny VS.. Mr.. and Mrs.

Jim is just full of ideas. Among the
other good lunches he has is formation
of women's public links golf associa-
ton and the holding of a District jun
ior championship to embrace all the
lads in Washington up to IT years CT
age. For the latter tournament Jim
intends to ask the sanction of the Dis

that the local golf governing body will
put up couple Of medals for the win

HITS TWO BALL CLUBS

A repetition Of the troubles between
the Cubs and Reds happened in the
International League between Buffalo
and Newark.
AS Stephenson laid out Critz at sec
ond and started general warfare be-
tween the Cubs and Reds, so did Stahl-
man of Newark lay out Thomas of Buff
falo on the same identical play. But
the riot was worse than that between
Cubs and Reds.
AS a result. Buffalo lost Thomas
through injuries and Jim Cooney
through suspension-the second base
man and the shortstop. That hurt Buff
falos chances to climb.
Newark lost corking catcher in
Stahlman, who was suspended, and its
best pitcher, in AL Mamaux, seriously
injured about the head in the general
fight.
