Louis outfielder and tbe National league's leading batsman of tha 901, and Dick Rudolph, world aertea pitch-ing hero of 1914, war engaged In earnest conversation at tlia Boaton Braves training camp at St Peters-burg, one day Uat March. Kudolph was doing most of the talking. Burk-ett, once called "The Crab," taciturn as ever, strong and stern of face as a Roman senator, bulky of body aa a Roman gladiator, was listening "In." Rudolph was waxing eloquent over the throwing arm of Catcher Mickey O'Neill of the Braves. He declared that Mickey had a better arm than any catcher In the game today. Still Burk-ett was silent "Mickey has the best arm of any catcher of all time, as-serted Rudolph. Thla declaration stirred the famous batsman of old days. "Did you ever see Lou Crlger throw to second base?" asked Burkett. Rudolph had not been privileged to see Lou In his prime, Hnd so admitted. "Now, mind you," went on Burkett, "I in mi P.: j .ftummK - tv'v)' Catcher Mickey O'Neill. am not saying Lou was better than Mickey. I am only claiming that may-be Lou was Just as good as O'Neill." And then Duke B'arrell butted In. "That fellow Archer of the Cubs could sure throw," he muttered. "Mebbe not better than Mickey, but Just as ' good." Iiudolph had covered all the base-ball territory of the present and got-ten by with It, when he made his strong claims for Mickey O'Neill, but the trouble was, he had gone too far back Into the baseball past. These two s could not stand for that. Archer and (vlger, as throwing catchers, left elssics behind them In-delible upon the jes of baseball. After all. It would be bard to con-ceive higher praise for a catcher than that such keen and stern judges as these, should puss Mickey's claim to be the best In the game today, and only claim nn even break for their Idols of yesterday with this wonderful backstop of the present. Mickey O'Neill Is a cheery,' likable Irish boy. He came from the St. Louis lots, along with Ituell, Hollocher, Schnmndt of the famous Wnbada team and was coached by that wise old philosopher and baseball writer, John B. Sheridan. r ft Psrmananl tocuL II aiato4 It-- II 1 1 IinoutmanlW Building Far Debind the Automobile Millions now recognize II the automobile as a. ne-cessity. It is no longer luxury for the few. Sixty per cent ci its use is for business. Because of this the mod-ern paved highway haa become an economic ne-cessity. Yet although the mflesge of Concrete Roads and Street has bean steadily Increasing, our highway system today laga far behind the automobile. The great majority ci our highways are at oct of date aa the single-trac-narrow gauge railway of fiity yeart ago. Such a condition not only handicaps the progress pf the autoroobUe as a comfortable, profitable meana of transports- -' tion, but abo hold back com- - merrial, induatrial and agncul- - tural advancement in practically every section ol the country. It is costing taxpayers millions of dol-lars annually. Highway building should be continued and enlarged upon. Your highway authorities are ready to carry on their share ol this great public work. But they must have your support. Tell them you are ready to invest in more and wider Concrete High-ways now.

DO MUCH DAMAGE . ' Cooling System of Automo-bile Should Be Kept in - Best Condition. (Br EnvtMM ORSBR, Pr.mdrnt Orr Col-i-of Au'omotlv. Knstnrlnff, fhlcuro-- ,! ' V'ou have all seen the fellow who pushes his steumlng, clanking cur about town. It looks for all the world like a buby locomotive, but perhaps what you and he don't know Is that ' this overheuted condition Injures the ' pistons, the cylinders, the bearings and all Internal parts of. the engine. Of v course. It Is likely to cause dumage to some of these parts and shortly he ' "" ' leurns this himself after he bus paid a big repair bill for Information tliut could have been gleaned from any In-struction book. If you run the car with Its spark retarded the engine will overheHt. Car bon,, a crippled fun and Impeded water flow through the cooling system will also cause overheating. 8top and Investigate. When out driving and your car over-heats It Is Imperative to Instantly stop and find the trouble. In an emergency a very wise thing to do is to pour an abundance of oil Into the crank case, , Of course your exhaust will smoke, but the additional oil will offer a pro-- . tection to the Inside of the engine until relief Is at hand. The fan Is one of the most tm-- - portant parts of the cooling system. If the belt slips so as to reduce the fan draft It must be adjusted, but In making the adjustment do not get the belt too tight for It will breuk. Clean thp belt In gasoline every so often and rid It of the oil and gummy matter, lllicb up your garden hose and send its spray through the openings In the radiator that probably are clogged with mud. But do this from the engine side of the radiator, otherwise you will short circuit the electrical system. Radiator May Be Clogged. If the engine still overheats It Is probable that the Inside of the radia-tor Is clogged, so disconnect both the Inlet and outlet and plug them with corks. Now make a mixture of hulf- - and-hal- f vinegar and wafer and fill tbe radiator to Its brim. Let It stand for half an hour. Then allow this mixture to drain off and put the nozzle of the , hose Into the Inlet of the radiator. Turn on the water and let It run for an hour. The flushing should he very thorough as the vinegar remaining In the tubes would eventually eat them to a certain extent. Then connect the radiator and your trouble will be found to have disappeared, provided that a clogged radiator was the cause of the overheating. The Ideas outlined above are not ' new, nor are they the only ways and means of accomplishing your purpose, bnt they give satisfaction, are not complicated, costly nor unduly Try them and see. I Training Jockeys Is 1 1 Work of Fitzsimmons 2 Jim Fitzsimmons, the veteran If horseman, known on all the ft j major race courses of America ti as "Sunny Jim," has developed If 5 more Jockeys than any other A ty horseman In the country. He V 3S conducts a school for riders at ty Aqueduct, where between twen- - B ty and forty applications for ty w Jobs are on file each year from S 6 youngsters who want to become jj 4 Jockeys. His latest develop- - & K ments are Peter Walls and ty j Johnny Dawson. S Believes in Following Rules and Traditions Charles O. I'fell of Memphis, pres-ident of the Western Coif association, who Is now serving his third term as chief executive of that organization, is a staunch advocate of playing the game according to the rules and tra-ditions. "Gulf," he says, "as handed down to posterity, must be a good gr.me, or it would not be such a popular pastime as it Is today. The game Is growing every year and should be played according to the rules. . "At times local rules are necessary, and cluhg have that discretionary power. Sometimes, however, too muny local rules are made. Attempts to make the game easier should be avoid-ed, as Its exactions are what develop the Ingenuity of the player. Good' straight shots and a low score are pleasing, but getting Into trouble through the course Is what makes a real golfer think and brings his re-serve skill Into action." President Pfell thinks further that there should be little tampering with the Implements now In user on the links. The various sticks have their uses well defined, and a player who practices diligently cm) get satisfac-tory results without resort to artif-icial devices.

Grace of Kingston, Ontario, who has been appointed coach of the West Toint lacrosse team. Changing Tires on Car Will Increase Mileage Changing truck or passenger car tires at regular Intervals ,'roiu one wheel to another will Increuse the mileage of a set of tires to a greater degree than the average owner real-izes. Tire companies havu done a great deal of experimental 'vork along these lines dining the pat.f few years "Engineers," says a r, esentutive of u tire concern, "have ade exhaus-tive tests relative to cooiporatlve wear on tires lu vurious positions. They have learned that those on the right wheels. are subjected to greattr wear than those on tbe left, and those on the rear wheels to more than those on the front. "Thus It readily can be seen that occasional changes will effect more equal distribution of wear with a con-sequent increase in mileage. "Itecofds have been kept at a cer-tain factory on a large number of tires, which have run in the aggre-gate more than 8,000,000 miles. Some of these tires have been run continu-ously in the same positions. The rec-ords show that the average tire on the left front wheel will give nearly twice as much mileage as the oue on the right rear wheel. "The mileage In the various posi-tions, therefore, will be approximately the following proportions: To one mile of service on the right rear wheel tires will average 11-1- 0 miles on the left rear, 1V4 miles on the right front and li miles on the left front. In other words, the average tire that would run 6,000 miles on the right rear wheel would run about 7,000 miles on the left rear, 9.000 on the right front and 11,000 on the left front wheel." Milton Most Scientific of All Racing Drivers Tommy Milton Is probably the most scientific of all racing drivers. He drives, automobiles much as Willie Hoppe plays billiards. He Is pollshod, smooth, sure, finished. He does not drive racing cars for the Joy he gets out of driving. He does not race for the thrills that ho can get for himself or the thrills that he ran furnish the crowds. He drives to win, cot for the sake of winning, but becnuse of the money that winning brings him. He never seemed part of the sport In which he Is a recognized leoder. Esthetic in his tastes, Milton Is closer to the arts than to sport. His hobby Is music. He knows the classics, par-ticularly those of the Kussiun com-posers. How to Apply Brakes and Prevent Skidding Do not apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a wet pavement. Such action Is liable to start a skid. If that does occur, turn the steering wheel In the direction of the skid. At the same Instant release the brakes. Better control will result If the brokes are applied gradually on and off. Many drivers lose their beads in such emer- - gency, and feel that they have done ' everything possible when they have locked the brakes. Don't permit the driving wheels to "' slide either In starting or stopping. Gradual clutch and brake engagement will avoid this. Don't run the car any distance on a deflated tire. At the first warning stop and make the , change. Nothing will break down tbe tire walls more quickly. Don't try to make every hill tn high ' speed. Nothing is to be gained by so doing. Tour gearset is designed to meet such requirements. If you per-sist in this practice you will soon find it necessary to refit tbe engine bear-lng- s, and furthermore, you will greatly '. , reduce the tire mileage of the driving wheels. :' :t Don't approach a down grade at speed and then apply the brakes sud-- ' denly to bring the car nader control. Many accidents occur from this cause, especially on wet roads. Aside from thla tbe tires auSar and the brakes wear out quickly. ' '' ;; ; ' ' ' 'V 'V. : ,. J Reds Give Up All Hope of Obtaining John Neun The Cincinnati Nationals have given up all hope of obtaining Johnny Neun, first baseman recruit of the Detroit Americans who spent lust season with St. Paul In the American association. Manager Jack Hendricks said that Ave clubs In the American league re-fused to waive their rights to the youngster with the result that the Reds have dropped all negotiations for Neun. Itube Brassier, Reds' utility man, probably will cover first base, made vacant by the death of Jake Daubert. One Old Timer Believes Modern Boxers Are 0. K. Jack McAullffe, first American to win the lightweight boxing title dis-cussing modern pugilism says, "In the matter of actual fighting there Is no difference between my time and this. The same punches are used, the same tactics employed. I guess In my day the fighting was a little rougher, but today it may be that the boys, general-ly speaking, are a trifle faster. The conditions surrounding the sport then and now are very different. Then we operated In violution of the law and did the best we could to keep all but a selected few away from the ringside for fear of arrest and imprisonment. Now, under the protection of the law, the Idea is to attract as muny specta-tors as possible. When I defended the lightweight title against Jem Carney of England we fought In a barn at Revere Beach, Mass. A bottle of ale was all Carney got for the fight and he paid for It himself." ffrmfirfii in JaaBgaaMinii - n W Yale baseball nine will play 27 games during 1025.

Unique Use for Honey During Severe Weather The recent cold weather raised the problem of how to keep tbe radiator of our automobiles from freezing. In some sections where alcohol is more In demand for other purposes, honey Is being used as an anti-freez- e solution in automobile radiators, according to Dr. F. II. Lathrop, chief of the en-tomology division of Clemson college. To prepare the antl-freez- e honej solution, measure out half enough water to fill your radiator, and add an equal volume of cheap strained honey, tiring this to a boll and add one quart of wood or denatured alcohol for each three gallons of solution. After this has boiled from three to five minutes, the scum should be removed from the top, and the solution Is ready for use. This honey solution Is cheaper than alcohol and has other de.Mruble fea-tures. It should not be used, however, where the radiator Itself or the hose connections are leaky, or where tha engiate gaskets ar not perfectly tight 1 Boston College Team I Is in Brooklyn Meet I S Boston college's record-break- - S lng relay team Is entered for the S Brooklyn college track meet g January 24.
