The National league is mildly eX-
cited over the fact that, apparently,
Rube BreSSler, ambling outfielder OF
the Brooklyn Robins. doesn't seem
headed for his annual vacation this
summer.
Never since Rube broke into the
big leagues with the Philadelphia
Athletics has Bressler been able to
get by this time of the cas- with
out a three or four-week layoff.
His tired and tortured puppies de-
manded it. He just had to cool
them off in the sequestered shade OF
the bench. and after they had been
thoroughly rested his faithful feet
would once more plod out into left
field, there to do patrol duty until
the season ended.
But this year the Bressler dogs
have failed to bark their usual dis
cordant cry Of agony. They have
kept at their task Of carrying RUDE
under high flies and around the
sacks without a murmur. 1t is as
tonishing, and to Uncle Wilbert
Robinson. in whose charge the des-
tiny Of the Brooklyn club lies, highly
gratifying.
With Rube keeping up his end OF
the garden Robbie has been able to
devote his time to other departments
Of the Flatbush flock.
Not only has Bressler continued
on beyond his usual vacation period
but his hitting has actually I'M
proved.
The Bresslerian bat has raised the
tenor Of its tune from a vigorous
400 to a roaring $50 in the last few

Under Dogs Tumble
Leaders To Prevent
Gains In National

Buccaneers had a record of eight
straight in the East until Bob Smith
pitched the Braves to a 4 to l de-
cisicn yesterday. Brame was pound
ed for all the Boston runs in the
very first inning, and Smith clinched
the decision by stopping the Cor
sairs with four hits.
Claude Willoughby, aided by the
home runs from the bat Of Charlie
Klein, was just a shade too tough
for Pat Malone. and the Phillies won
by 6 to s.. Benge was called in to
help Willoughby in the ninth when
the Cubs began making threatening
gestures.
Klein's two homers ran his total
for three games to five, tieirg the
major league record held by Babe
Ruth and several other players.
Klein also established a new modern
mark by ringing up three homerS in
three successive times at bat. the
last time up on Monday and the
first two yesterday. Sylvester john
son let down the Giants with seven

game by 5 to 0, by smacking out a
home u with one on in the fourth.
Fred Fitzsimmons had an off day,
and the Giants missed a chance to
shave something from both of the
teams ahead of them.
Jack Hendricks continued his
campaign to escape from the cellar,
and approached to within three
points Of his goal. The Reds took
both ends Of q double-header from
the Robins in Brooklyn, 5 to 3 and
7 to 2.
The White Sox worked hard to
edge out the Senators by s to 5 in
ten innings, and the Browns con-
solidated their collapse by yielding
another game to the Red SoX. Mil
ton CASTOR hurled a three-hit game
to win BY II to 2. 1t was the second
three-hit performance against the
Browns in the three games OF n
series played thus far.

Business Requires an open Mind

Second, among the essentials fol-
sound thinking would write down an
open mind. We have mentioned free

Though the Ford tires are
designated as 80 x 4.5O,
they have the resiliency and
air space of much larger
tires because of the drop
center rim of the steel-spoke
wheels.
For best results, the tires
ON the new Ford should be
kept inflated to an air pres
sure of IS pounds and
checked regularly to insure
this pressure all the time.
This is important. Low i'm
aation breaks down the side
walls of a tire. By causing
overheating, it also destroys
the rubber that acts as an
insulation, with consequent
separation Of the cord.
AS AT the end Of each 5000
miles, when you have the
front wheels packed with
grease, it is a good plan to
have the wheel alignment
checked. This will prevent
premature wear.
When punctures come, as
they will with any tire, you
will find the Ford dealer
particularly well-equipped
to make repairs quickly and
at small cost. See him, too,
for requirements. Then
you will be sure Of getting
tires built specially for the
Ford car according
to definite Ford
specifications.

WHEN the new Ford was de.
signed, it was Immediately
apparent that a new tire
would have to be made to
match the cars performs
ance. It was distinctly a new
problem, for here was a car
with quicker acceleration,
greater speed and more
braking efficiency than any
car of similar size or weight.
So that every Ford owner
might be assured of maxi
mum tire mileage at the low
est cost, the Ford Motor
Company devoted many
months to research and
experiment in conjunc-
ton with the leading tire
manufacturers.
As a result, certain def
mite specifications were de-
veloped for tires for the new
Ford. These specify cords of
certain strength and texture,
a large volume of tread and
side-wall rubber, sturdy nom
skid design, and reinforced
plies for protection against
bruise breaks-all the
strong features of construc-
tion formerly considered
for only the largest tires.
Great care also was taken
to secure the best ridingqual-
tiles in connection with the
transverse springs
and the HOudaiIle ~
shock absOrbers.

AUSTRALIA WILL BUILD
 POWERFUL AIR SERVICE

SIDNEY, New South Wales, Jan. 3, R)-The bulk of the funds to be devoted to Australia's defense in the next five years will probab- ly be spent on the development of the Royal Australian air service.
 Already it has been decided to purchase 34 planes, combining bombing and fighting capabilities in the one machine. and the spec tacular air raids which have been made over London in sham battles will guide Australia as to the type of machine to be chosen.
 The bulk of the money avail able is for a five years program just completed and will be devot- ed to new construction for the navy.
 It is expected that the bulk of the funds available in the forth coming five year program will be devoted to the air force
