RECORD ENTRY WINBLEDON LAY Noe Thn 300 Players o Straggle lor Five Tithes London, June 24 UM—The British championships, greatest of all ten. nis spectacles, opened on Wimble- don's famous courts today with «n entry list in excess of 200. With five titles to be awarded, in the men's singlea and doubles ani the mixed doubles, virtually evecy tennis player of any note was ready for the two weeks' grind starting with the first round of men's singles today. The only notable absent:e was Rene Lacoste of France, men's singles champion last year. Lacoste decided he would have to apply him. 901f“to Ris business in Paris and let bis title go by defaylt. With Lacoste out of the way, ten. Ris experts expected the men's title to go to one of the great French- man’s compatriots, Jean Borotra or Henri Cochet. Among the Ameri- can entrants, Big Bill Tilden, John Vas Ryn, former Princeton star, and possibly George Lott were being eounted on to do the most towards checking the formidable French as- sault, Helen Wills again was an over- whelming favorite for the women's title, expert opinion granting only the Spanish girl, Lili De Alvarez, & chance to dethrone America's queen o the courts. In the first round of the men's singles, Tilden was matched with H. V. 8. Dillon; Wilmer Allison against E. G. Chandle former American in- tercollegiate titleholder; John Hen- nessey against R. Malcolm; Fraak Hunter against R. Miki, and Lett with E. Du Plaix, The seeded list in the men's singles found Cochet ranked at the top: Borotra, second; Tilden, third; Hunter, fourth; Baron Humbert Ds Meorpurgo, fifth; Lott, sixth; Bela Von Kenrling of Hungary, seventh; and J. C. Gregory of England, ighth. Gregory incidentally is the .rst Englishman to be selected ince the system of seeding was in- roduced at Wimbledon, Play in the women's singles starts .omorrow with Miss Wills, Senorita De Alvarez, Kea Bouman of Hol- land, Cecilie Aussem of Germany, Elleen Bennett and Betty Nuthall of England, and Bobbie Heine of South Africa the principal contenders. South African Records Broken by De Soto Averaging 62.7 miles an hour on & 24-hour continuous run, includ- ing stops for re-fuelling, a De Boto 8ix roadster has set a new apeed |4 record for South Africa. The test was supervised and checked by offi- cials of the Royal Automobile club of South Africa, who are attempt- ing to establish an international speedway on the South African plains. The details have just been received by L. G. Peed, general sales manager for the De S8oto Motor cor- poration, at Detroit, from press clip- pings sent to him from Chrysler motors officials in Cape Town, tell- ing of the De Soto’s run over the now famous Blue Bird Pan, the site Bouth Africans hoped would rival Daytona Beach in Florida as a con- tinental speedway ovcr which the present world's speed record for mo- tor cars would be lowered. The De Soto roadster covered 1.- 605 miles at an average of 62.7 miles an hour—within four miles an hour of the world’s record for three to five-liter cars, recently made by a Chrysler rar in France. “The De Soto S8ix ran steadily throughout the test and the distance covered at an average speed of 62.7 miles an hour included stops for fuel,” said the Cape Times, leading Cape Town newspaper. “The aver- age, deducting the time the car was stationary for water and re-fuelling, was 64,005 miles an hour. “The average speed for the whola trial is all the more remarkab! when it is considered that the car had not once been opened up fuil throttle.” Nash Sees Business Continuing Steady Charles W. Ni presient of Nash Motors C a statement this week, said “W re looking forward to a good, steady business during the coming months.” but we do not expect any extraordinary demands such as we experienced following the introductioon of our new models in June a year ago. In the aggregate, stocks of cars in the hands of Nash dealers have shown a matisfactory wnward trend since March 1. “A factor which also has had some influence on automobile salés is the present widespread stock market speculation. My observations lead me to believe the number of small speculators has doubled since the beginning of 1928. These peo- ple, 6f whom many are potential car buyers, bought stocks at high levels and in consequence have their money tied up. When I was last n New York I made inquiriées among our dealers to learn if there had been any cancellations of orders following the March decline in stock prices, and I made the interesting discovery that there had been sev- eral. which could be directly attri- buted to that break. “As for the automobile industrv in general, I said at the beginning of this year the industry should he satisfied in 1929 with as large a vol- ume of business as in 1928. This 1 still maintain, “Nash Motors has not loaned a dollar in New York on call. We take the position that we are manufae- turers and we consider the bankers of this country thoroughly capable of taking care of all the money en- trusted to them. Leoaning money on call for use in the stock market the legitimate business of bankers.” Trudon and Platt In Their New Home Trudon and Platt, local dealers for Hupmobile motor cars and G. M. C. trucks, moved from establishment which they have oc- cupied at the corner of Btanley street and Hartford avenue for over & year to 238 Hartford avenue, the building formerly occupied by lhe. City Service Station. This new location provides a more spacious service department as well as display rooms. H. J. Miller, resident managei invites inspection of his new buil ing and his special display of Hupmobile Century ‘“sixes” and “eights”, as well as G. M. C. trucks. The service department is under the direction of R. Nelson, formerly of the 8 & F. Motor Rales Co. Joseph Pacnessa will remain in the service department to service Chrysier automobiles. Engineers Find Advanta In Dodge Mono-Piece Recognition of the Dodge Broth- ers mono.piece body as an ad. vanced step in modern motor car body design has been given added significance by experimental and research work conducted by aute- motive engineering students of the Oregon Institute of Technology at Portland. To carry on the investiga- tions, sections of the mono-plece bodies were sent from the factory at Detroit. “We regard the mono-piece body, found exclusively on the New Dod, Brothers Six models, as one of th most significant contributions to meodern motor car design,” said C. E. Spencer, principal of the auto- motive division of the school. “Our aim in obtaining sections of this body from the factory was to ac- quaint our students with this latest development n automotive body engineering. Rigidity and strength in construction, freedom from bod, noises and ease of repair were found to be outstanding advantages in this construction.” The mono-plece construction in. troduced with the announcement of the New Dodge Brothers Six medels is & all metal seamless body that incorporates strength, safety, room- iness and improved appearance, Four major sections are welded into one plece, and horizontal-verti- cal bolting to the chassis frame eliminates the conventional sill sep. arating the body and chassis in other forma of construction. The mono-piece body adapts it. selft to the trend in modern body styles by its longer and lower ap Exterior finish without unbroken surface for the distinctiva lacquers and color combinatiens features on each of the eight models. 1929 Chevrolet Models Have Attractive Designs The new Fisher bodies which dis- tinguished the 1929 Chevrolet closed are among the finest crea. gardless of price, which this famous automobile body com- pany has ever produced, and in ad- dition to their apparent attractive- ness of finish and design, embody several new structural advance- ments. One of the most important and distinctive of these features is to be found in’ the construction of the roofs. Through a lowering of the rear roof line and through the car. rying of the steel panel effect up their | into the roof & new nete of refine- ment and a pew standard of rug- gedness has been achieved. Because of this the reot deck of the new Chevrolet is scarcely noticeable to the eye. Instead of the heavy side rails | of- s0lid wood, the new Fisher be. dies on the Chevrolet are of the skeleton type. The akeleton consists of two roof ralls running the. full length of the reof. Thess are held together by strong wood braces as well as by bolts at the front and rear, ‘The main part of the new Ch rolet roof, as in all 's manuf: tured by Fisher, consists of slats ¥ | and bows, the finest type of group construction. This is mounted separate assembly on the bedv frame. Fisher bodies differ from other types in that the roof, be- cause it is a special assembly, Is not depended upon to brace th. bedy frame. The body frame, on the contrary is held securely in place by an elaborate system of heavy metal braces. Another feature found in Chev. rolet closed medels this year for the tirst time in the low price field the adjustable driver's seat. All the bedies are rigidly braced, ac. cording te new engineering discov- eries, to take care of road shocks, atrains and stresses. Edward Honeyman Leading in Sales Contest Although national records are not available in the Hudsen $1u0,- 000 June Sales Contest, Edward Honeyman, salesman for the Honeyman Auto Sales organization is running so far ahead of his quota that he must be well up among the leaders, says M. L. Honeyman, president, While the leader {s not over. confident at this early stage of the month's contest, feels that the man have put in a hard month's work. “Selling automobiles is like sell- ing anything else—you must be sold on your product, and you must {nspire your prospects with the same degree of confidence. The tirst Hudson and Essex cars I sold this year went to my best frienda. I thought the products wers 8o good, the prices a0 low and the de- gree of service offered by our or- ganization so excellent that ] was doing them a big faver in insisting that they become Hudson or Essex owners. Not one of them has re. gretted it, in fact they have brought me many more sales by recommend. ing our cars to their friends. “With this te go on, and the knowledge that every car I have sold has brought a thoroughly sat. isfied owner, 1 think I can go on to win,” says M. Honeyman. 0. OF A. LAWN CARD PARTY A lawn card pdrty will be spon- sored by Laurel Court.

Court Says Selzuro Of Land Is Justified Prague, June 24 (UP) — The Caeche. akian government's cen. fiscation of enormous and valuable eatates of the Prince of Liechtenstein has caused a sensatien among the people who recognized the late Prince John Il as a great bene. factor.
