THREE Big CHANGES
BOAST OF CADILLAC
Automatic Gear Shift, New 16-
Cylinder Motor and FIywheeI
Design Noteworthy

Three revolutionary advances stand
out in the lines Of 1898 Cadillacs and
LaSalles on display at dealer show
rooms throughout the country.
First Is new method Of gear shift
Ing that has all of the advantages Of
the fully automatic shift and none
of the complicated mechanical de.
sign.
Second is radically engineered
l6-cylinder motor, described as the
most efficient automotive power plant
get produced.
Third is new flywheel design that
reduces the possibility Of driving
fatigue by the elimination Of q previ-
Gus source Of vibration.
These three advances give unusual
distinction to the 1898 Cadillacs and
1aSalles but by no means complete
the list Of improvements and refine
ments with which Cadillac begins
It's 36th year In the quality car field.
New bodies, smarter lines, new
comfort, convenience and safety make
the models worthy contribution to
motoring.
Model Features Outlined
Cars introduced by dealers include:
LaSalle-The 125 horsepower V-8
motor that accounted for q new stock
car record and was . major factor
In the sensational sales gains Of
LaSalle In 1887 is continued with re-
tinements.
Cadillac V-8-This car in the 1887
line was known as Series IS" and
built In only one body type. The ex-
ceptional amount Of room In the car
Immediately caught public fancy and
for 1888 an Imperial and convertible
sedan are added to the five-passen-
ger sedan. The car Is even larger
this year. carrying q 132-inch Wheel
base.
Cadillac Fleetwood-The luxury of
appointments and comfort Of the Gus
tcm-built Fleetwoods are even more
impressive this year in the largest
body ever produced on full line OF
American cars. Headroom, legroom
ard seat widths have all been In
creased, visibility and cushioning Inn
proved. The horsepower Of the V-8
motor is 40 with chassis advance
lnents designed primarily to fit the
car for smoother performance.
Motor Progress Evident
Cadillac Sixteen-The new Cadillac
Sixteen hold unusual interest for the
industry because Of evident progress
In motor design. Two banks of eight
cylinders are mounted at 135-de-
gree angle, creating natural cradle
for motor accessories. Almost flat
and with its center Of gravity lower
than conventional practice, the en-
glne accomplishes much toward in
creasing roadability and safety. The
horsepower rating is 1876 and the
ratio Of horsepower to each 81
pounds Of weight strengthens Cad
illac's claims to efficiency and high
performance. Twelve Fleetwood body
styles are presented on wheelbases Of
l41 inches.

Simplicity of construction Of the

as well as freedom from service

merely throws out his clutch as for

Gals Put on Catty Act
at Swank Hunts Meet

When Don Meade initiated a regi-
ment of Cossacks while winning a
Kentucky Derby some seasons ago,
there were numerous high class
folks who roundly deplored such tao
tics. Truly enough, it was highly
enlightening and sinful sight but
scarcely as entertaining as a hunts
meeting 1 once viewed in Maryland.
One of the events was for lady
riders and it was evident from the
start that only two of the gals had
a chance. The two took their du-
ties seriously. For the first furlong
they tried to ride one another onto
the rail.
After that they really got down to
business. They finished the race
whipping. But, for once, both horses
got break. The two sportsw0men
were using their whips on one an
+ other.
Golf also has had its moments.
Once-this is for the greater educa-
| ton of those who squawk that the
United States has exclusive privi-
leges along such lines-an Ameri-
can went to England to compete in
a tournament. His short game was
tops but he was not long driver.
The Briton he opposed in the final
could hit 'em mile.
For the greater glory of the home
land, the tournament committee
probably composed of the same gees
who booed the winning American
Ryder Cup team-moved the tees a
mere 20 yards or so farther away
from the greens.
This was almost as good as the
not too distant season when the hos
pitable French soaked their tennis
courts so that their soft game play
ers would not be Inconvenience
against hard-hitting Americans. Yet
I have no desire to dwell upon such
evidences of international amity in
sports. Instead l revert to the para
graphs concerning our own back
yard.
Perhaps the crusaders for a bet
ter life would be immensely solaced
if this space contained a moral di-
rected at the young men who have
been waving boister0us fists on ball
fields this season. Yet far be it
from this erring brother to pitch
out the first stone.

Pros and Amateurs
Alike Beat Rules
So More Fun's Due
g New York Poc...-WNU Service.

TT PROBABLY is just as well that
the Congressional Record keeps
the more piOus fretters about the
nations naughtiness so busy that
they have no time for the sports
pages. Otherwise there might be
considerable hell to pay because of
the immoral manner in which ath-
letes have been desecrating the
summer peace.
For instance, there was the recent
moment in Brooklyn when the
young Red, Lee Grissom, slid into
Babe Phelps, raked his spikes into
the catcher's meaty arm and re-
ceived few pokes in the lugg in
exchange.
1t was a moment which, no doubt,
Mortified the good citizens of a bor-
ough which is not accustomed to
such bOisterOus doings from mere
$4,000 a year ball players. Yet,
since this offense against baseball
law occurs almost daily in less sane
titled big time towns, do not men,
ton the incident in any highly moral
dudgeOn of my own. 1 merely lay
it on the line in advance of other
well chosen words which will be
typed here for the guidance of the
ethical preceptors of the common
wealth.
Ever since David found a way to
beat the weight in his well publ
cized contest with Goliath, the rules
of sports have been subjected to
considerable monkey business. No
doubt this partly has been due to
the fact that healthy young men
(and women) engaged in rough and
vigorous competition have no time
for fretting about the strict letter of
the code. Perhaps there are other
reasons, but I make no comment
now. Instead, I recite some epics
from the crowded lives of those
who compete for gold, for glory, or
for both.
There was, for instance, the Old
0riole device for persuading run
