 These slow climbs are diflicult tests of skill and judgment on the part of the driver, and Of smooth ness and tIcXibility on the part of the car. They are held on very steep and winding streets, and the driver is required 10 complete the climb without touching the clutch pedal. Sailing the engine or stopping the car means disqualification. As the grade varies, the operator must con troI the throttle with the utmost dcIicacy. If he goes too fast he can not win; if he goes too slow, he will kill his engine.

New Principle of
 Tire Construction

Described as the greatest advance in tire construction principles since the advent of the balloon tire eight years ago, the Fisk Air-Flight Prin- ciplo, is announced by the Fisk Tire company.
 According to tho company'5 cnGi- ncrs and tcchnicians, performance and efficiency is greatly incrrascL because of this new basic design.
 Briefly stated the Air-Flight Principle means that, due 10 a larg- CT air chambel, more scientific dis tribution of materials, and more flexible materials, the load of the car is carried more on the air con- tained within the tire and less on the tire itself, which results in smoother riding and lninimizcs bumps and iolts caused by shocks of the road that cannot be absorbed by the superfluous rubber in tir>s Of the old type of construction. Tn . new principle tires eliminate sway ing at high rates Of speed and al- low transmission of the engine pow CT 10 q much greater extent than either the balloon or high prcsaur" types of tires

DENOUNCES ORGIES
 DURING HOLIDAYS
Visiting Priest Urges Correct Observance Of Christmas Season

Wiu parties and world pleasures should not be a part of the Christ mas observance Rev. Pr. Casimor told members of St. Joseph's parish at the o'clock mass Sunday. lis sermon was directed against the practices which have become part Of the Christmas observance of modern times. Father Casimcr is from the passionist order in West Springfield.
 Father Casimcc hit at the attitude taken by many persons during the Christmas season. "Thcy are pom dcring whether he or she will send a card or gift and are prepared ahead of time to send card if that is what is received or d gift if the friend sends gift" he said.
 Father Cusim.r urged the return to the old Christmas custom Of plac- ing a lighted candle in the window Of the home from Christmas cV" m- iii Christmas night High toned is the term Father Casimcr used in referring to persons who have abandoned these old customs. He said they were like balloons which might explode some day leaving thcm without q window in which to place the candle.
 Instead of blaming modern youth for lack of pioty, Father Casmor said it vas tn" "old timers" who really show the lullcWarm attitude. The young people and those in the i middle ages are attcntativc to their religious duties but the elders are 1 not, he said
 ! Father Casimcr dwclt for some time on Christmas charity. He urged the parishioncrs to make their con- tributions directly to the poor rather than through an agency "This is the age of commission and for every S5 contributed, $1.9o may Ec for commission and 10 cents may go to the poor, the priest said.
 He spoke Of persons who live ir luxury with Christmas trees and toys while the poor are going then humble ways in want He said he would feel ashamed if he were en- toying these luXurics after having failed 10 aid the poor.

PORTS FORUM :


Jack Meaghre, head coach at Rice
Institute was in town wednesday.
He was accompanied by the dimin-
utive pole vaulting Cabiness, a lad
who has brought nearly as much
track fame to his alma mater as
Claude Bracey. Cabiness holds the
Southwestern conference record in
the pole leaping event.
Meaghre has just taken up the
coaching reigns at the Houston
school. 1t was only last winter
while the conference coaches were
doing so much changing about. that
Meaghre went to Rice. He formally
was coach Of st. Edwards college at
Austin.
While coaching at the Austin
institution, Jack received the re-
spect of all the teams in the
larger conference. In fact he
beat them about as often as they
let him down with the short end
of the count. Last fall he took
the feathered tribe football team
in for a good picking" with his
Saints. Now he is going to try
and make "pickers' out Of them
rather than have them be the
subjects.
Just what Meaghre and Cabiness
were doing down here in the Valley
is not hard to see through. The
Owls have been sadly in need OF
football material for a good many
years. Ever since the school was
organized as far as that matters
Now that the Rice alumni have
planned for a winning Owl team,

Ewitness the renewal Of rivalry with
Chicago.
John j. McGraw again is at the
top Of the standing of the clubs,
but the Bruins are not far behind
and the champion Cardinals threat
en- to make it a three-ring party.
The Giants climbed to the top or
the heap by executing a smart
about-face against the Phillies at
the Polo grounds yesterday as the
Braves begged down from their first
week squirt and permitted the Robins
to take a second decision in Flat
bush by 5-to-3.
The Cubs deployed along the
Pittsburgh front. The powerful bat
of Rogers Hornsby was spiked BY
the splitter Of Burleigh Grimes, and
without its aid the Bruins lacked
the power to win. The Pirates ham,
mered Charley Root unfeelingiy
through the early rounds, and fin
ally snatched the winning run from
Berlyn Horne in the 18th to triumph
by 5 to 4.
Joseph v. Mccarthy led his team
from under a four-run deficit in
the third to even terms in the eighth
but the march to victory was Just
a stride too long. The defeat
plunged the Cubs into a tie with
the Cardinals for third place, but
left both only half a game behind
the Giants. Rain forced the Cards
to postpone their home opening
against Cincinnati.
The Yankees rocked the American
league front with a blast which
shattered Charlie Fuffing and the
Red Sox by 9-to-3. The barrage
consisted Of is hits, OF which Babe
Ruth'S portion was just n single.
The Athletics were Just as effec-
tive with their IL shots at Fred
Marberry and Lloyd Brown, who
succumbed with the Senators at
Shibe park by 9-to-4. The Athletic
attack vas capped by q home run
from the bat of Jimmy Foxx with
one mate aboard in the fourth.
Activity in the western half Of
the Barnard loop was confined to
Detroit, where 10000 fans at the
home opening Of the Tigers saw
Harry Rice save the bengalS by q
spectacular sliding catch in the
ninth. Two Cleveland runners were
on base as Rice sprawled headfore-
most near second to clutch Luke
Sewell's tantalizer. Detroit won by
