Firesione Tires, because they know
the high stretch cords in every

Firestone patented process of
Cum-Dipping.
Cum-Dipping sosks the high
stretch cords in liquid rubber and
saturates and coats the millions
of fibers inside the cords,
-eounteracting destructive friction
and heat. Ii provides greater
adhesion between the plies of the
tire, and between the Cum-Dipped
cord body and the tread.

TINE Irish English rivalry In the
ring was blown into fame in
1924, when both countries had
undisputed champions.
England's battler was Thomas
Winter, whose hackers advanced the
seasons by calling him Tom Spring" 5"
He won the championship in 1928
by beating William Neat.
But no sooner was Springs title
clear than a formidable rival ap-
peared from across the Channel. Ire
land still clung lovingly to the men,
ory of the great Dan Donnelly, but
in 180-pound boy named Pat Lam
gan, who had cut q swath through
the fighters of his native land, it
thought it had a worthy successor.
Seldom in ring history have two out
standing rivals been so evenly
matched. The editor Of the Fancy
Gazette hated the Irish. He called
them "Shillelagh fighters" But he
was forced INTO sort Of grudging
admiration for Langan-and the man
large Irish population Of London.
He lacked Springs punch, but he
had more endurance.
Their first battle was at Chichester
for 500 guineas. Besides that, the
towns merchants had raised a purse
of rs pounds for each of the two
fighters to hold the fight in their
town, because OF the enormous crowds
it would bring. Spring won in rs
rounds, which lasted 108 minutes.
In the last round, "Langan could no
longer stand up. nor see his way to
scratch. 1t was five minutes before
he mad recovered enough to stagger
to mis- carriage. He was In bed for
five days"

up q new National League record for

The former indianapolis ball-havk,
for whom the New York Giants re-

cast him adrift after a short trial,
committed only two errors on a total
Of 3l8 chances in the Brooklyn Dod-
gers outfield during the 1894 CAM
paign. Playing In 12l games, Koe-
necke's fielding average Of .994 shaved
one percentage point off the old league
record held jointly by Louis B. Duncan
Of Cincinnati and Wally Berger OF
Boston.
The only other individual record
established during the season was
credited to Curt Davis of the Phillies,
who participated in IL double plays,
new mark for pitchers. Burleigh
Grimes, then with Brooklyn, set the
old record at II in 1922.
Koenecke's closest outfeld rivals
were George Davis, who compiled a
938 average with the Phillies, and
Paul Waner OF Pittsburgh, whose mark
was 935.
