Zof Sports Speaking | The biggest upset of the City League play so far this year was furnished by the Speedboys, late en- tries in the loop, when they took a fall out of the Burritt team, leader of the league.

They will play the best three out of five. ad in an Sun- The first game will be Kensington this coming Sund the teams will play every other day from then on until the last game, which is scheduled for Oc- tober 3, providing the series goes five games. Man: Abe Aronson of the Ori- oles stepped in this morning to tell the world that the Orioles have not passed out of the: picture. Abe has| been away on vacation for the past| two weeks at Lake Congamond, and he stated that several other players on the team have been away also. He is out to arrange a fast game for this coming Sunday and hopes to land the Slovak A. C. of Forest- ville as his team’s opponent. ~The team will practice Thursday evening at Walnut' Hill park. When asked about whether Salak had left the Orioles to become a reg- ular member of the Burritts, he stated that he was not informed on the subject. He took notice of the| fact that Salak had pitched for the Burritts against the Reformatory team in Cheshire last Saturd but whether this means that the rler has switched teams is something he doesn’t know definitely yet. The Orioles are having a poor sea- son and many who are close to the team ascribe the cause of it to the act that a number of the players on the squad have taken up with the ladies. Sweethearts and baseball ardly ever mix, but why blame the entire shooting match on the girls BOYS' LEAGUE Two Good Games Scheduled To Be Played This Afternoon At Walnut Hill Park. A real battle is scheduled for this b afternoon at Walnut Hill park in the New Britain Boys' leaghe when the Boys' club and Smith teams meet. The Washington club will play Wil- low Brook park In the other game scheduled, but owing to the weak- ness of the South End team, the league leaders are favored to win handily. The second game, between the | Boys' Club and the Smith- teams, is expected to be.a lively battle be- cause of the unexpected strength which the Smiths have been she ing in their last few games. The| Boys' club swamped the Smiths in their meeting a few weeks ago, but | a different tale might unfolded this afternoon.

Answer—No. Question—Then what does make a good tire? Answer—The perfection of all the different operations that are necessary in producing the fin- ished product from lree to tire. Question—As for example? Answer—The success of the United States Royal Cord Bal- loon in delivering true balloon cushioning and comfort, and yet giving long-lasting service is largely due to thess six important factors: Planiations The United States Rubber Company owns and operates scientific Rubber Plantations in Su- matra and Malaya. Has 7,000,000 rubber trees, all yielding Latex now, from which this Com- pany pm.fimu its Sprayed Rubber and its Latex-treated Web Cord, Sprayed Rubber Of the greatest importance, because of its fine uality, and its freedom from acid and smoke. riefly, the Latex is sprayed into a chamber containing hot, dry air, which dries out the liquid from the Latex, leaving the pure, tolid rubber. This does away with the old methods of emoke-drying and acid coagulation. Uniform Cotton Cord To insure absolute uniformity and high quality of the cotton cord used in United States Tires, the United States Rubber Com. pany operates its own cotton mills at Winnshoro, South Carolina. Here the choicest grade cotton is made into cords to mect the rigid requirements of the tire factories where it is used to produce Latex-treated Web Cord, Latex-treated Web Cord Alzo an invention of the United States Rubber technicians. The cords are laid parallel without tie-threads, and soaked in virgin rubber Latex, which formsan elastic web through and through and between the cords, Important because it gives the cord structure maximum strength and maximum flexibility, Flat-Band Method of Building Tires Do not miss the importance of this revolu- tionary improvement in tire-building. The way it works is highly technical. But the result is that each cord in a United States Royal Cord is made to lic in exactly the right position, under precisely the right tension, and to take its dug ehare of the work, Searching Tests from the Tree to the Tire United States Tire tests begin with the raw materials—and these tests never stop. Many tests are made during the process of manufac. ture and finished tires undergo various factos tests such as the “Tread Wear Test” illustrated. Even after the tires are sold and in use, their performance on the road is being checked by factory-trained experts stationed all over the country, United States Rubber Company Trade Magk UNITED STATES YAL CORD BALLOON RO For Sale by SEE THE NEAREST NITED STATES TIRE SALES & SERVICE DEPOT DEALER ©)526 BY NEA seavice.
