GRAND CANYON
ROAD BARRED

An automobile road across the
Grand Canyon?
Not II the National Park Service
has It's way.
M. r. Tillotson, superintendent
Of Grand Canyon National Park,
puts himself on record in his new
book. "Grand Canyon Country"
published by Stanford University
Press.
THE National Park Service is
strongly opposed to the much dis
cussed Rim.to-Rim highway" Su.
perintendent Tillotston declares. 1T
feels that a highway across the
park would destroy the majesty of
the Grand Canyon. To break the
age-long silence Of the canyon with
the honking of horns, to carve road
ways into its formidable walls, to
impair the normal impregnability
of nature to make it easy for
anyone to conquer the Grand
Canyon, that would be sacrilisious
indeed"
No one could find such a high.
way more useful than Superintend-
ent Tillotston however. He Is re-
sponsible for the administration of
both rims Of the canyon, and con-
sequently spends half his time on
mule back, on the arduous trip
from one rim to the other.

ington.
The Sherry Motor Company is a
new firm in the local automotive
field and their appointment marks
the first time in the rs years that
REQ has been represented in Wash
ineton that there has been
dealer in addition to a distributor.
The appointment Of the Sherby
Motor Company, 1t was explained,
by M. F. Sperry, of the REQ factory,
Is in line with a gigantic sales ex-
pansion program due to the increas-
| ing popularity of the REQ Fly

Harry Sherry. president of the
| Sherry Motor Company, Is proml.
| nently identified in business circles.
He is the owner Of the Sherry Mar.

nections with the wholesale and
retail gasoline business with the
|

la nd. d.Conotinental interests. He Is
also identified with the Sherry Gar
age Company and the Sherry Rent
a-Car Company.
Edward Ostrow, secretary and
treasurer of the Sherry Motor Com
pany, was born in Philadelphia, but
| came here as a boy. He graduated
tnrlz
| from Maryland State University in
1918, and then entered the meat
| business with his father. He was
engaged In this business until he
and Sherry organized the My!ex Oil

Following the sale of the Mylex

series OF demonstrations so as to
give everyone an opportunity TO see
how this new transmission permits
the shifting Of gears from high to
second Al speed up to 40 miles an
hour and from second to high at
any speed"

HINTS ON USE Of
ANT|-FREEZE

No anti-freeze can protect lesky
radiator that allows the protection to
drain out. For best winter results.
the cooling system should be
thoroughly flushed and tightened be.
fore an anti.freeze solution Is intro.
duced.
A little pre-winter care is well
worth while, especially il perma-
nent antifreeze Is used for it may
save considerable expense and will
enable you to enjoy the full advan-
tages of all-season protection.
These are the highlights of the
advice t. motorists issued by the
Glycerine Producers Association,
whose members manufacture all the
standard radiator glycerine used for
anti-freeze purposes in this country.
Since radiator glycerine does not
evaporate, the association points
out, ore servicing should protect
the car all winter, provided none is
lost through leakage or overflow. 1t
is important. therefore, to have the
cooling system put in good shape
before this anti.freeze is Installed.

Most people realize that the New Chevrolet is a
Six in the price range of the four. But not every
one knows what really wonderful Six it is!
Take design, for instance. The Chevrolet en-
cheering staff spent more than four years In the
development of the Chevrolet Six. Motor,
springs, brakes, bodies, steering eear-all were
designed not only to be correct within them
selves, but also to fit harmoniously into the car
as whole. And during all this time, exhaustive
tests were being made at the General Motors
Proving Ground.
The result Is exactly what you'd expect: a sis
cylinder car sour,dly designed and built to the
highest manufacturing standards!
Consider materials. Because of its great volume
and vast purchasing power, Chevrolet naturally
commands the finest available sources of supply.
But, In addition, Chevrolet has set up Its own
individual standards for testing quality. Metal
intended for motor blocks must pass nine rigid
scientific tests before Chevrolet will accept it.
Spring steel must pass nine tests; rear axle steel,
seven and upholstery materials, seven.
And remember, these tests are for materials
only. Taken altogether, there are nine thousand
inspections during the production and assembly
of a Chevrolet Six!
Again, the result is exactly what you'd expect
quality in materials and worknldnship that
assures years Of dependable and satfstnctory
service!
Come In today. We want you to see and drive
this car-for it will give you new idea as to
what the buyer of a low-priced car can now
expect for his money!

Even the good attendance of
the past few days is expected to
be surpassed today and tomorrow.
while the finals Monday and Wednes-
day should more than draw ca.
pacity crowds. All matches, ex-
cept tomorrow's meeting between
the Middleburg (Na) and Third
Cavalry teams. which begins an
hour earlier. start at 4;30. which
gives many office workers an op-
portunity of witnessing the fasci-
mating and spirited play.
With the ball always in sight
and the action fast and furious
throughout without any let.downs,
spectators have no trouble watching
the progress of play as first one
team and then the other storms
at the others goal. And a giant
board on one side of the field ap-
| prises the spectator of the score
at all times.
But these two factors, sim.
plifying as they do the prog
ress of play, are not alone re-
SpOnSible for the popularity of
the game. Rather it is the
game itself. .
What appeals most to the average
fan is the superior horsemanship
exhibited by the riders. The way.
the players lean far over the sides
of their ponies to take a whack at
the ball from all and any angle
brings many Obs and "Ahs" from
the sidelines.
Besides calling for expert horse
manship. a poloist has to combine
the ability of a football player
with that of a golfer. Each player
at some time or other is in close
bodily contact with one or more OF
his opponents. and also has to hit
ball with club. this while riding
at top speed. like golf and also un-
like golf, for the golfer hits a sta.
tionary ball.
There is never any lull in the
game, for soon as a goal is scored
the teams resume play Immediately.
Between periods they halt only long
enough to mount fresh ponies. In
the middle of the game there is
slight rest period. usually eight
minutes, while the game rHhs six to
eight chukkers, whichever the cap
tains agreed to. each chucker of
play lasting seven and a half min
utes.
Two of the crack teams meet
today when the Fort Benning
and War Whites tackle one an.
other for the right to enter the
Infantry Cup finals Wednesday.
The other semifinal cup match
is tomorrow between the Mid
dleburg and Third Cavalry fOurs.
The finals in the intracircuit di-
vision on Monday finds the War
Whites scheduled against the Six
teenth Field Artillery team. Both
of these teams are strong and a
great match is anticipated with
prospects of a fine personal duel
between Major Chaffee of the
Whites and Lieutenant Mcclure
for scoring honors.
Finals in the Infantry Association
Cup tourney will take place Wednes.
day afternoon with the Fort Ben.
ming and Third Cavalry fours likely
to meet for the trophy.

The meet has suffered another
blow in the ineligibility of Richard
Gwinn, of the Baltimore police
department. Following his gradua.
tion from Johns Hopkins last
spring, he hooked up with the
Baltimore A. c., and on June 16
1928, represented his cIubmen in
the Olympic try-outs In New York.
Following that. he changed his
name in the registry to unattached
and later took up sleuthing with
the Baltimore detectives.
1t is well.established A. A. U.
law that an athlete, on changing
affiliations, must compete un-
attached for one year. That year
is up June 16, Sunday. Meanwhile.
the South Atlantic games are billed

now said to be confining his ag.
gressiveness to the diamond and by
doing so is making big hit all
over the circuit.
Awarded the captaincy of his
club this spring, an unprecedented
honor for q rookie, Shires had this
distinction lifted, and was sus.
pended when found guilty of an in
fraction of the rules.
Benched during the earlier part
of the year when Bud Clancy was
entrusted with the first base as

physical warfare with Manager
Blackburne and was blacklisted
once more by the sox board Of

The youngsters spirit and hustle.
