September coming on and cool
weather just around the
corner | want to say just one
word of advice to young
players. That s simply this
Don't try too much baseball
in chill weather. +"
/ know every kid likes to play
all he can and it's pretty hard tc
think that vacation is about over
anda ball games will have to be
showed aside when school starts
But it is pretty good thing at
that, For two reasons. In the first
place school is important and fel.
low can't afford to play baseball and
neglect his school work.
And in the second place the time
has come when baseball season is
about over and the cool weather is
with us. Kids who continue to play
baseball after it gets cold are making
q terrible mistake. Even big
1eaguers, who are hardened to it
and who are physically fit, find the
cold weather a tough thing and it's
much harder on kids.
One little cold settled in q feI-
lows arm can ruin him as ball
player forever. And when IFS
cold it's much easier to fear6a

Don't misunderstood me. don't
mean that you should quit playing
entirely or anything like that. There
will be nice days when it will be
fun to play and when it won't hurt
a Bit, But Just remember this. It's
important to warm up everytime
you play-but if the weather il
cool or there is cold wind blowing
then warming up doubly important.
II you warm up before you start
a game you take the stiffness out of
muscles and loosen up joints so
there's less danger of injury and
less fear of hurting yourself. If
you go to big league ball games you
always see the players out warm
ing up before the game-and if it's
a cool day you'll find them warm
ing up longer and more carefully
than in warm weather.
That's good rule to follow. And
remember too that while you may
hate to do 1t it's a wise move to
put the old glove away with the
first frost and leave 1t there until
spring comes.

winning spirit and a willingness to
keep plugging. Then it takes speed,
keenness of eye. strength to keep
going and the desire to succeed.
To my mind the ideal chaps as
ball players are fellows like Earl
Combs and Charley Jameson. And
the reason is that they're fighters
making the most always of what
they've got. You know the fellow
who has only rs per cent ability
and makes use of all Of it is
better ball player than the chap
who has 100 per cent ability and
only uses or develops so per cent
TO what he has. There are fellows
in the big leagues today who could

But they're content to drift along,
just getting by. There are other
fellows on the other hand who are.

A lot of people think I've been
lucky in baseball. Probably l have.
l probably was lucky enough to be
born with a good physique and some
natural ability. But there's one
thing else l can, say for myself,
love to play baseball-and one thing
| I'm always trying-and as long as
I'm in the big leagues I'll be out
| there giving the best I've got.
You hear a lot of talk nowadays
that golf has taken away lot Of
interest in baseball, and that kids
| today are swinging mashies instead
| of bats.
Maybe that's true. but doubt it..
Here's the tip-off.
Ten other day I was playing golf
at a club just outside New York
My caddie was kid about ii years
old. and smart little chap he was.
l asked him about golf and he told
me he had been caddying for four or
five years. Said he could make quite
lot of money during the summer
doing it. He played golf now and
then, he said, and he liked it.
asked him if he ever played
baseball.
"Oh, sure" he replied. "We've
got 4 caddies' ball team and
we've won Is of 20 games we've
played this summer. We always
play ball hack of the caddy
house when we haven't any
caddy job" he explained.
All around the course the kid kept
talking baseball. A couple of times
l wished he wouldn't do it. There
was once when was about to make
a shot out of a trap when he asked
me about double-steal play and 1
dubbed my niblick. And once on the
tee just as / was about to drive he
broke in with a question about AL
Simmons hitting and kicked that
one too.
But even though he made me miss
"a couple Of shots, the point I'm try
ing to make hasn't anything to do
with golf etiquette. What I'm try.
ing to point out is that while kids
today find a lot of fun and a bit of
money in golf, they're still real base
ball fans.
Golf is a great game. 1 play
myself and enjoy 1t. But
there's this thing to remember.
Golf Is an individual thing. II
hasn't got the team spirit that
there Is in baSeball-and it's
team spirit and gang play that
kids like.
The game OF golf, great as it is,
will never be able to take the place
of baseball-either with the kids or
grownups. Baseball has something
that the other game hasn't. If Won
don't believe it go out to the golf
course and watch the caddies pIav.
ing baseball behind the caddy house.

SAYS DRIVER CAN LEARN
MUCH FROM AIR PILOT

That the car owner could learn many
valuable lessons from the airplane pilot
is the contention of Oscar Coolican,
local automobile dealer, who says that
II the care exercised by the pilot were
paralleled by the driver Of an auto
mobile there not only would be fewer
accidents. but car ownership would be
at once more pleasureable and more
economical.
THE average car owner takes too
much for granted in the maintenance
of his car. The airplane pilot cannot
afford to do so. The car owner fire.
quently is negligent in the selection OF
proper lubricants. Under no circum-
stances could the plans pilot be so; 1t
Is a matter of paramount Importance
to him to have his engine get the
exactly proper diet.
THE plane pilot always tests the
ships controls. How many car owners
give the brakes a trial before getting
into the congested zone where i'm
mediate action may be imperative?
With the pilot these things are
absolute essentials and he fails to at
tend to them only at the risk of his
life. If the car owner would pursue a
similar course of action he would be
amazed at the improvement in his
motoring experience. He would find car
costs reduced. he would find his car
safer and always mechanically mt, and
he would find a new ease of mind.
Truly. the motorist can learn valu-
able lessons from the man who scars
above the clouds in an automotive
product which bears such striking
fundamental resemblance to the four
wheeled denizen Of the highways"

AUTO PRODUCTION
CONT|NUESSTEADY
Usual Seasonal Decline Is
Not MISUNDERSTANDING
Expected in June.

OF more than casual interest 10 OBJ
servers Of the trends in the automotive
industry is the failure of seasonal cur
tailment, usually noticeable at this time
of the year, to manifest itself, accord
ing to B. H. Cram president Of Grams
Automotive Reports, Inc.
For the last three years production
decline, beginning about now or a little
earlier. has made its appearance and
continued well into the Summer. This
slackening has been gradual and 1t is
logical to suppose that it would occur
in 1929, but as yet no change is evident
in the volume of output.
Decline Expected in June.
On the other hand, the low-priced
car manufacturers have announced
schedules for May which, if adhered to.
will produce an output in excess of any
of the previous months. Manufac-
turerS in the medium and high priced
fields have virtually duplicated their
set-ups Of the previous month, so that
this source of production will not afford
any decline in the total output. In the
face Of this, however, the manufac-
turers anticipate a slackening of their
schedules not later than In June.
Increases in the sales of used cars
provide the most significant develop
ment in the market. These are doing
we'll generally and tend to bolster a
steadier condition of new car sales. No
decline Is apparent in the volume Of
the latter, however. A slight decline is
observed III used car stocks because of
the increased sales activity.
Tire Market Is Strong.
Increased production schedules have
featured activity among the truck
manufacturers and while the gains
have been characteristic of both the
heavy and light duty fields, the de-
mand for heavier models has under
gone the greater acceleration.
The situation in the tire industry re-
sulting from decreases in orders of
original equipment tires by the car
manufacturers has been offset by the
improvement in the consumer market,
which Is becoming more marked daily.
Replacement buying has increased and
greater activity is expected to balance
the comparatively slow condition during
the first four months.

CARE OF STEERING
GEAR CALLED VITAL
Auto Distributor Calls Attention
to Increased Driving Speed
and Congestion.

The season Of great motoring activity
at hand, car owners should be espe-
cially watehful of the steering system
since increased driving speeds and con-
ditions of congestions on city streets
make it imperative that that vital ap-
paratus function perfectly, surely,
easily, and with the utmost safety.
That motorists generally are not
careful enough Of the steering system
Is the contention of Oscar Coolican,
local automobile distributor, who sees
in this negligence very definite men
ace. However, he adds, 1t is a menace
speedily removed If the motorist will
allow recognized maintenance depart
ment to administer its constructive
treatment.
1T is obvious" Mr.. Coolican points
out, that the steering system Is nEs
Of the most important units Of the car.
Every motorist Is aware how much it
enters into the safety Of driving. To
omit systematic care of 1t is poor
policy at any time, but it becomes par
ticularly dangerous when driving speeds
are high and traffic Is heavy, as Is the
case at this season of the year
Frankly, the motorist is not advised
to attempt to service the steering gear
himself. That is job for the ex-
pert. The owner can contribute,
though, by keeping front tire pres
sures at their prescribed levels. But,
the actual inspection and treatment
Of the steering apparatus should be left
to competent mechanic.
His tests will prove whether there
Is too much play or not enough;
whether looseness can be taken up or
whether new parts must be fitted. In
any event, he will give authoritative
diagnosis and treatment to the steer
ing gear, and that's what 1t needs.
I'm no event should the motorist
allow the slightest doubt to remain in
his mind with respect to the units

Hot or Iced Tea
AT Wayside for
Motor Tourists

American motor gypsies will
have their way smoothed for them
this season by another refinement in
the touring line-hot or iced tea
served la maitre d'hotel from way
side stands.
A new development in the road
side refreshment industry and one
that has materialized almost over
night, is the organization OF the
National Standowners' Association. a
trade group, adequately financed,
which proposes to introduce chain
store methods to the red hot"
stand.
Thus. when the caravan of motor
lists begin to hit the trail this Sum-
mer, the auto tourists will find
pleasant surprise awaiting them.
For the crude wayside refreshment
booth, it is announced, is to be
modernized. with up-to-date tea
service and made attractive to the
travelling public. Menus will be
greatly amplified, and especial en-
phasis will be laid on the serving
Of tea in the proper manner.
