USED CAR TOTAL
REDUCED SLOWLY
Larger Producers Bringing
Difficult Situation Under
Control.
Ey Il { Associated Press.

Ey II associated Press.
DETROIT, April l4.-Big as is the
used car problem to the motor car
industry, the larger producers appear
to be slowly bringing it under control.
The approximately 100000 units
cleared out of dealers hands during
the one week of intensive campaigning
last month reduced the accumulation
to something like 100000 cars and
trucks
Aside from the specialized cam
paign, however there are the con-
tinued efforts Of the volume producers
through their merchandising divisions.
Striking in this connection is the
showing of Chevrolet. one of General
Motors heavy producers. Approx
mately three years ago it initiated the
plan of curtailing factory deliveries to
dealers whose movement Of used
vehicles was tagging.
Chevrolet Efforts Cited.
The used car activity of Chevrolet
presents an interesting picture of what
the used car means in the merchan-
dising problems of the motor car in
dustry. This company alone has sold
more than 100000 used vehicles every
month for the past three years Not
far behind in the attack upon the
used car accumulation are the Ford
and Chrysler companies, whose mer-
ChandlSlng problems generally are
Identical with those of the General
Motors heaviest volume producer.
Last year the industry turned over
slightly more than 100000 used We
hicles, against neW-car distribution
of about 100000 Many of the used
units came back, of course. in the deals
for new vehicles. This. however, is a
situation the industry has come to ex-
pect. Its sales division prepares each
year to move out greater number of
secondhand cars than new units.
Spring Demand Delayed.
While the normal spring upturn in
demand has been slow materializing,
there has been some announcement
during the last fortnight in a modest
increase in the movement of new We
hicles. reflected in an upward trend in
assembly activity. Most producers and
distributors hesitate to venture a guess
as to how far this movement will go
during the next few weeks.
The failure of a more substantial
upturn to appear at this time has
caused most makers and dealers to
revise again their estimates of the
years probable total production. There
are few producers or distributors now
who expect the years aggregate to
reach 100000, although all agree a
reversal of present trends might pull
the industry up close to that point, if
it appears before midyear.

KIN LESLEY And

BY 3 STROKES
N. Y. Champion Turns
In Best Round
By LESTER RICE

OAKMONT COUNTRY CLUB,
Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 16.-Metro-
politan New York's two representa-
tives in the SemifinalS of the Ma
tional amateur championship here
To-day were up and down at the
end of eighteen of the 36-hole con-
tests.
Willie Turnesa, New York State
champion, was 3 up on Edwin C.
Kingsley, the ore sampler, Of
Magma, Utan. while Richard D.
Chapman, of Greenwich, Connecti-
cut State champion. was down
to Patrick Abbott, the California
actor.
OF the youthful quartet, Tur.
mesa played by far the best golf.
He went out in 38, one over par,
for the first nine. which was ex.
cellent in face of the chilled wind
which blew in from the northwest.
TURNESA OFF IN FRONT
With steady sequence of pars,
Turnesa won the first three holes
from Kingsley, who was afflicted
with putting jitters. The Far.
Westerner missed a two-foot putt
on the first green and a four
footer on the second. He made
mess of the third, pushing his
drive into the sand and trying
futilely to dislodge the ball with
a spoon. He didn't clear the
bunker's bank, fell back into the
pit. and so paved the way for
a seven.
Kingsley steadied after he
sliced his drive at the fifth and
got away with a half in five.
At the short sixth, Kingsley's
putter again redeemed itself, rap
ping home a 30-footer for a win
ing deuce. Kingsley escaped from
the sand again at the seventh and
cheated the hazard of its penalty.
He holed a five-footer and won
the hole when Turnesa, whose
drive had been bunkered, took five,
This made Kingsley only one
down.
TAKES PAR THREE
The 253-yard eighth, with a
brisk cross wind beating across
the line to the greens, saw both
players bunkered at the left.
TurneSa's blast almost entered the
cup and he won with a par three.
Kingsley's drive found more
sand at the long ninth and when
he tried to get distance with a
long iron the ball hit the bank
and rolled back in the pit. He
built another seven, went three
down again. He turned in 43.
Chapman, like Kingsley, got
away to discouraging start and
lost three holes running. He lost
the first to a birdie when Abbott
pitched for a four and he lost the
second when he hooked his drive
and located his approach in a
bunker.
Chapman again pulled his drive
into the sand at the third and
was trapped beside the green and
took six. He halted his downward
march unexpectedly at the long
fourth by pouring in an 18-foot
putt for a birdie four with Abbott's
ball no more than eight feet from
the opening. The Californian
failed to get his to enter, however.
and a five resulted.
Two holes later Abbott's iron
from the tee drifted off into a
bunker and Chapman cut away
another hole with a good three
The seventh was a pair of par
fours.
Chapman should have won the
short eighth but didn't. He was

MORALE.
RESTORED With

Pirates Now Lead by
Three Games

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 d.N.S.l.
The New York Giants mute, in
glorious Melton is generally rated
the No. pitching bust Of the year,
but to the Pittsburgh Pirates Cliff
today is a beloved cousin of the
first water.
For it was Cliff who served up
such a delightful mess Of home
run balls to the Pirates in the
final game Of the series that he
completely restored their shat
tered morale, sent them three
games up. on the idle Cubs,
dropped the Giants back to fourth
place and probably obviaTed a
photo finish to the pennant race.
That was quite an ingloriouS
finish to a seasons work that saw
Melton fail the Giants 10 times in
as many starts during the sum.
mer. But none of his previous
failures was as distressing to the
Giants as his last one. And shaT-
ing the Giants distress were the
idle Cubs and Reds, who watched
the doleful proceedings from the
grandstand.
NOW RIDING HIGH
If the Pirates, staggering under
the impact Of a double defeat the
previous day, had blown this last
game, they would have been in
a bad spot. Now they are riding
high again.
Rizzo slapped Melton's first-in-
ming offering for his 10Th homer.
Later Young followed suit. Along
came Lloyd Waner with a belt
into the stands and brother Paul
Waner Immediately hit another.
Later on, brother Paul hit Sec
ond homer off Dick Coffman, just
to show he was impartial in his
choice Of pitching cousins.
That was the only game in the
National League. In the Ameri-
can, the White Sox took the first
half of twin bill from the Ath-
letics 5-4. and then dropped the
second, 10, when George Caster
held them to four hits for his 18th
victory.

The Indians moved into a tie

the Red Sox defeated them by the

the Indians to six hits, which was
