lis their customary attitude re-

their engineers have had oppor-
ltunity to take it apart and in
Ispect its components.
They still have to get this
opportunity with the Ferguson
car. They have heard. unofii-
lcially. that the vehicle gets its
power from the pumping, hy-
Idraulically, of fluid to small tlr-
lbines that turn each of the four
wheels and also activate the
brakes. ' ~
Some American auto engineers
have maintained for years that
greater use of hydraulic power
eventually would be made in the
modern car. It was needed, they
said, for operation Of an increas-
ling number of accessories. It all
ready has been adapted to power
Ibraking and power steering.

Right now, I'd have to say

Nobody is hitting. Our defense
is terrible and our pitching. ex-

The only guys who are doing any

The same story had Dresser
and some of the Senators older
players involved in a verbal tiff
after Saturdays game with the

but 1t wouldn't necessarily be an
unhealthy situation if true.
If players and manager don't get
