1t is perfectly easy to size up relative automo-
bile values.
An automobile is certainly not to be regarded
as so much steel and other materials selling at so
much pound. 1t isn't wheelbase alone, or horse
power alone, or weight alone, or price alone
it isn't any one thing alone that determines
cars value, but the combination of everything.
That's why Chysler value scales up bigger than
any other value to be compared with it. Chrysler
value is more extensive. Covers more things. In
wolves greater initiative in engineering. Includes
greater number of important and basic engi-
neering developments. Entails greater results in
car action, car ability, comfort endurance.

The new brake drums are certain to
be among the things the automobile
salesman will point to with pride this
Spring. 1t is well to be posted
Brakes always have been afflicted
with expansion. In the old days when
the brake bands wrapped around the
drums any little overuse of the brakes
resulted in the drums expanding and
the brakes burning Came the internal
expanding brake which eliminated this,
but added the annoyance of having the
drums expand away from the brake
shoes In such a manner that on long
decline the driver found it increasingly
difficult to hold the car in check.
Now the manufacturers have arrived
at the answer. The drums are being
made of metals which resist heat There

Ruth Discusses
All America
Selections
THIRD BASE

A very familiar figure appears
at third base in the person Of
Pie Traynor, who was my choice
a year ago, as we'll as in three
earlier campaigns. I have been
told that Traynor is not the
player he was. which Is to be
expected, for he has been guard
ing that far turn for a number
of years.
1t has been quite a spot for
veterans this year, as Sewell,
Dykes. Bluege, McManus, Kamm,
Frisch, Gilbert and Whitney are
names which have been associ-
ated with the position in the
past.
AS these selections are made,
Traynor is leading all third base
men in hitting, and he still has
enough fielding skill and general
knowledge of the fine points of
third base play to make him the
best of the group. A few younger
players are coming along, but
such players as Traynor arrive
only once In a decade.
Tomorrow Ruth will discuss the
shortstop selection-Cronin.

ThlS little nope pictures just
what a team thinks about when
its winning. The Griffs believe
they can defeat anybody at this
stage of the season, even the
Tigers, who have been pretty
tough customers during the un-
folding of the schedule.
To make possible this clean
sweep aim, Manager johnson,
fortunately, has his three pitch
ing aces, Marberry, Weaver and
Crowder ready to shoot at the
Bengals. He also has Lefty Lloyd
Brown, who was expected to get
the call in today's opener OF the
series.
The seasons record between
the Griffs and Tigers stands at
10 victories for Manager John
sons team at this writing in 10
engagements played.
Another Ambition
1t might be said the Griffs
hold one other aim then besides
the clean sweep one. It is to take
the seasons series for sure. To
do this Manager Johnson's men
l ave only to win two Of the
three games on schedule.
But taking three means much
more to the Griffs. AS generally
known, Our Boys" are waging
great battle for second place hon
ors in the standings. To gain the
position victories must be chalked
up every day, so it seems, be-
cause the Philadelphia AS now
holding the berth, are winning
with such regularity themselves.
Maybe the disposition of the
battle will not be decided until
the final three days of the cam
paign when the Griffs and AS
meet in a three-game series, two
of which will be played at Phila-
delphia, September % and "a.

his line and backfield.
But he isn't weeping nor wall
ing. He's smiling and buckling
down to his task. The very
fact that there are so many
vacancies to fill has inspired
the C. U. candidates to go out
and grab those permanent jobs,
as Bergman has told them:
There isn't a spot on my
team that has been cinChed.
Every post is wide open, and
the man who shows up best in
these two daily practices Is the
one who will be found in IT, ere

time the schedule is ended, the
little fact remains they will have
turned in an excellent record for
victories on this Western trip
providing, of course, they con-
tinue to win as they have lately.
AS this is being written, the
Griffs have seldom played as
strong before as on this western
trip. In fact, the last time they
showed as we'll was during their
first journey in 1881 when they
won nine of eleven games played.
Maybe this will be matched in
proportion and maybe it will not.
