The Babe. at 40, will have to face the
charge of these three challengers
while standing on pair of legs that
are none too secure.
But if these legs still hang on he
will be up there in the middle Of the
bunch as far as home runs count.
Last season Foxx led him over the
high hurdles at this game, and the
Babe missed his full share of starts
as one thing and another struck him
down.
He said before starting south that
as this might be his last shot as a
regular he intended to give everything
in his vast system to finish with an
oldtime flourish. And there still is
nothing the matter with his swing or
his eye.
In taking up the matter of his
three top challengers, it might be

NEW YORK, March IA lP).-Rep-
resentatives of Madison Square
Garden and the two fighters
resumed their discussions today in
an effort to line up a heavyweight
championship bout between Primo
Camera and Max Baer.
For two days. Col. John Reed Kill
patrick and Jimmy Johnston of the
Garden and Louis Soresi and Ancil
Hoffman. representing the champion
and Baer, respectively. have been
talking terms. All four seem conf
dent the match will be definitely ar
ranged shortly.
An apparently reliable report said
two big difficulties had been ironed
out. Baer is to receive more than the
customary challenger'S share Of 1872
per cent and from this will cut in"
Jack Dempsey. The Garden has de-
clined to accept Dempsey as CO.
promoter of the match. The date of
the match is one bone of contention.
The Garden and Hoffman want a
June date, while SOresi would prefer
to wait until September.

oase ball is sure to get this season.
The crowd at large still pays its trib-
ute to the big hitters, esecially those
who might break up a battle at any
spot. For this reason the 1884 scram-
BILE for Ruth's post on top of the
peak will be one of the big features
of the year.
Team play and pitching have come
back a long, long way in the last
two seasons, but the dull roar of the
double, triple and home run has lost
little of its ancient lure. The great
white spotlight will beat steadily on
Ruth. Foxx, Klein and Gehrig all this
season.

 This year. we believe. the auto- mobile buyers are offered the first car that could be accepted as truly streamlined. A car that comes the nearest to being a perfect oval from stem to stern, 8 car that has the rounded blunt nose, the taper ing tail that nature and wind tun- mel research has proven the most efficient.
 This car, we discover, in addition to being what. engineers admit is the most efficient aerodynamical- ly. presents what has been termed by many, the most beautiful au- tomobile ever built in this country:
 Which brings us to an outstand- ing point in design. An airplape manufacturer came nearer and nearer to true streamlining, they discovered they were coming nearer and nearer to true beauty of appearance. Perfection of de. sign seemed 10 bring with it, per- lection of anpearance.

car that is sensational in design and superlative in value. Witness some of the specific changes as an evidence of where the mood has led individual manu- lecturers.
 Recent Changes Revised
 One company, operating under the creed of corporation that has been the high priest of mechanical brakes, has departed from the family tents to introduce a car fitted with hydraulic brakes.
 The pioneer in the field of auto matic clutch control development hasabandoned it altogether.
 Some of free-wheeling's most ardent advocates a couple of years ago have swung around to the opinion that syncro-mash gearing is all that the public really wants.
 Quondam conservatives in body design have gone in for some of the most radical of external lines.
 The 1894 car, whatever it's name, is destined to prove stranger to the motoring public-the most de- lightful stranger of it's kind ever encountered.

NEW MODELS GIVE
 FASTER PICKUP
Quicker AcceleratiOn In Traffic Proves Boon
 To Motorists

It is the e'f1eet car in 1894 as com pared with the fast automobile of previous years.
 Now it is an automobile designed to save seconds in, traffic rather more miles per minute on the open highway.
 Prospective buyers of 1894 cars must not assume from this that engineers have turned their backs entirely upon high speed. They have not done so. It is merely that the emphasis has shifted to a phase of speed that is much more substantial in meaning. The most concrete expression of the change, prominent engineer says, is that to be witnessed when one Of the 1.-the, agile new models darts away in traffic from one that was made, say, four years ago and which may have the same top speed. The two cars may be equal ly fast, but the new one is the l much more fleet.
 Looking backward over a long period of reviewing new car de- sign progress, it was almost a de- cade ago that engineers perceived the ever-increasing importance of acceleration performance; seeing that the day would come when it would constitute the most signi- ficant aspect of the cars speed ability. Traffic was headed toward that degree of congestion which exists today and it was evident that driving eventually would be a series of starts and stops rather than a matter of steady progress at any definite speed.
 Hence the conclusion 50 em- phatically expressed in today's new automobiles that if fixed speeds of travel are an impossibility, an au- tomobile must be quick to reach any desired point of its entire speed range. In other words, 1t is matter of how fast the speedo- meter pointer can be made to swing-forward or backward-in- stead of how fast the car will go when the accelerator is all the way to the toe-board.
 The fact that the average 1884 automobile will fly from a stand ing start to a speed of 50 miles an hour in approximately 16 seconds speaks volumes for design evolu- tion. To look upon the achieve ment as the product of so simple thing as changing transmission or rear end gear ratios is to deny the designer credit for the prac- tical imagination which has rev olutionized every part of the car. Engine speeds have been in- creased as much as 600. 800 and in several cases more than 1000 rev. olutions per minute as between the oldest and the newest models of individual makes of cars still traversing the streets and high ways. This has called for tremen- dously improved carburetion and ignition systems, for type of lub- rication that is almost inconceiv- ably better and for the use of much more tough and durable ma terials in every small unit of the automobile power system,

Auto Show Opens Tonight Offering Motorists New Deal
MOTORISTS SHOW
 ADDED INTEREST
Dealers Code On Trade=in Allowances Helpful
 To Features

Although 1t is s.tcie early to draw conclusions one is safe in saying that the new year has brought new type of interest in automobile shows. The public Is looking way under the hood this year and the trend certainly looks hopeful for those stalwart engi- neers who have been struggling to force revolution in car design.
 Exploded is the prediction that with a revival in buying there would be a slowing down in the development of mechanical inn provements. It was reasoned that when a car is easier to sell, fewer selling features are needed.
 One thing that has hastened the offering of new features is the automobile dealers code with re- gard to trade-in allowances. Un- der the new ruling it is financially uninviting for the motorist to trade in his car. In return for asking him to take a financial licking the industry gives him high-powered incentive in the appeal of the new merchandise. All this is reflected in the automobile shows.

That is caused by the cylinders an intake riser having some mixture left over from the time the engine was stopped, prior to parking. When this is used up you must re- choke and start as you would a cold motor.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-03-05

the public will be more than sat- isfied to pay the difference.
 It has been tradition, too, in the automobile industry that the
 operating economy of a new car is something that may be discussed in the loosest and most general of terms. That is not true in 1884.
 Witness the specific statement of one manufacturer that his new six
 will yield seventeen miles to the gallon of gasoline at a speed of fifty miles an hour; of another that his eight gives twenty miles to the gallon at normal highway speed of forty miles an hour.
 A reborn industry offers a new car for new era.
 Behind it all is the certainty of the industry's leadership that re- covery already has begun, that
 millions are coming back to buy automobiles in 1884, and that nc plunge is too desperate to take in an effort to corral the largest pos sible share of the rapidly develop ing market. As it could not fail to do this mood has produced a

N and as result Chevrolet has occupied first position at the National Automobile Sho,Us orseuen consecutive years, and leads in sales aeain for lo33-his time blythe ,uidest margin in history. Chevrolet deeply appreciates the public prefer. ence which made this record possible. It affords ample proof that leadership in value and domi. nance in public favor go hand-in-hand. And that is why Chevrolet confidently looks for. ward to another successful year. Because never has Chevrolet presented America with such a big package of value as its 1884 car.
 The new Chevrolet has "Knee-Action" wheels, which change the ride to glide; new engine principle, which makes 80 miles an hour an easy,
