NAVY YARD MEN
KICK To ADAMS

The alleged practice of the Navy
Department of using enlisted per
sonnel for repair and reconstruc-
ton work that should be done by
skilled craftsmen was the subject
of protest made to Secretary Of
the Navy Adams by a delegation
from the Norfolk Navy Yard to-
day.
The complaint deals chiefly
with the remodellng of the battle
ship Mississippi. Enlisted men
of the ship have been used both
in the yard and on the ship to do
work belonging by statute to the
civilian personnel in the yard. it
is alleged. Navy officials are in
vestigating the complaint.
N. P. Alifas, of the Navy Yard
machinists' organization, said to-
day:
"The employment situation
will be seriously affected if this
practice continues. Naturally we
take exception to having sailors
used in this way, because it is
merely taking work away from
trained employees who are en-
titled to it,"

NEW PACKARDS

Passenger Comfort Held in
Mind by Engineers Design
Ina Late Models of Car

With some features entirely
new to motor cars and with
many other changes to give
added comfort, performance and
beauty, completely new models
were announced yesterday by the
Packard Motor Car Company.
The new Packards are more
altered in appearance than IN
several years and yet there is no
sacrifice in the characteristic
Packard lines.
Aids to Drivers
Engineers apparently have con-
centrated on Improvements IN
the interest of the passenger who
in most cases now is the owner
of the car, particularly with the
larger more luxurious automo-
bileS.
At the same time, many things
have been done for the driver,
such as increased motor power
still easier operation and main
tenance, and greater quietneSs.
All types of the new cars are
larger with wider tread and
longer wheel base, and greater
body room. Through one new
feature, aimed primarily at great
er passenger comfort, the shock
absorbers can be adjusted easily
and instantly to changing driving
conditions. The occupants Of the
. car tune their vehicle to the
road as simply as they might
adjust their radio sets.
. The Woman Question
So greatly has Packard given
attention to the comfort of pas
sengers in its cars that, follow
i1lg the trend of the times, its
engineers apparently have real
ized modern woman now prob
ably would much rather have
sotoe place to deposit ashes on
her siGe of the back seat in
the family car than a receptacle
for IGer powder puff. At any
rate, cigarette lighters and ash
receivers are found on both sides
in the rear compartments of
the new cars.

Change Oil Oftener

Even in those cars which give
longtime oil service, the period
between changes depends upon
the character of driving. If one
has a car that calls for new oil
every $500 miles of normal use,
a touring trip can reduce the in.
terval of change to 500 miles. That
is because the constant high tenn.
perature to which the oil is ex.
posed tends to break down the Wis.

from to the other in instant regardless of car
speed, without clashng. One high gear is for fasci-
mating pickup and Aexibilty in trafic-the other
still higher gear for the open road reduces the number
of engine revolutions at increased Car speeds.
The Chrysler Eight De Luxe is also car of re-
markable safety Because of its steel body construc-
ton. Because of its low center of gravity Because
of the quick positive control of its internal self
equalizng hydraulic brakes.
Yet with all its fine quality and smarness, with

season were the winning of the

piled by the Professional Golfers

golf was played in the Western
open, where he had four rounds

A few blades of grass behind
Dudley comes Johnny Farrell.
The New York star has a scoring
average of 71.8, which represents
his best performance since lie
won the national open champion
ship in 1928. Farrell was the
hardest working professional of
the year, according to the P. G..
A. figures, contesting in So rounds
of tournament play.
Indications that the venerable
virtuoso, Walter Hagen, is not to
be considered as relic are ob-
vious in the "Haig's" scoring
average of 70, which earned him
third place. Hagen was just a
fraction ahead of Billy Burke,
the national open title holder,
who finished his campaigning
with an average of 1928.

early stages of the race when most
anything could happen. -
AL took the writer aside to tell
him all about it. It seems Al had
seen the Philadelphia AS the day
before and had worked out a
scheme, as only the great Schacht
could, of defeating the powerful
team under Manager Connie
Mack'S wing.
"My plan is to take 'em out
and feed 'em ice cream" said
Schacht. "And feed 'em plenty
or it. I'll tell you the reason
why. Before Nick and I went
on for our act in New York, we
both ate a lot of ice cream.
"What do you think hap
pened? We were so grOggy that
we could hardly get through our
act.
1--WE told Walter the next
time we meet the AS, I'm going
to corral COchrane, Simmons
and FOxx and go ice cream eat
ing with them. Yes, I'll take
Grove, too, for he probably can
put away more than any Of
the others because Of his size.
And then by game time, they'll
be so grOggy we'll win easily
and the pennant will be ours
in Jig time"
1t might be mentioned that
Schacht and the writer were dis
cussing this important matter in
an ice cream parlor. And
Schacht in the course of the dis.
cuSsion had managed to put away
two plates, and was on the
threshold of his third when. his
own groggy condition and better
judgment told him he had better

The prospect of meeting With
the champion will prove an in
centive to both Szabo and Jones
and give their match tonight
added Importance. All wrestlerS
welcome a bout with LondoS be-
cause Of, the extra money.
Londos is big drawing card
wherever he appears and his op-
ponent gets much more pay than
for an ordinary match. That, as
well as the possibility of clipping
the champions feathers, will add
fervor to the Szabo-Jones duel.
Wants to Get Even
Besides, Szabo is avowed to
square accounts with this Jones
person from Texas, where cow
boys fire first and argue after
wards. It seems that Szabo
dropped a decision to Jones In
one of those out-of the'way New
England towns: Jones manager
raced to the nearest telegraph Of
flee and flashed the news about
the country.
Imagine the feeling of revenge
that boiled within Szabo. He, the
Hungarian champion and winner
over many of the best heavy
weights in this country, losing to
a Texas cowboy! Szabo now
knows that Jones is no boy scout
among wreStlers.
The Szabo-Jones match will be
rivaled by another headline bout
between Joe Cox and George Ha-
gen, embittered opponents. Many
fans are expecting a repetition Of
their scrap at the washington
Auditorium December II.

This contest ended in a 3O-min'

vided rapid thrills. The pair
pushed and showed each other all

There were countless instances
where events occurred, both in a

at the time did not appear in

things.
There is no better time than
