Mi WORLD : Ww BACKWARD WORK WITH AUTO TEST OF TRUE SKILL, SAYS M. FOURNIER. AQQseyelT TEM In His Fifth "ir Ueseon the Noted ChauffeurTells How a Man Should Act When Reversal Is Called For in an Emergency—Must Not Look in Front of Him. BY HENRI FOURNIER. ees tA LESSON V. If J wanted to get a fair idea of the skill of a chauffeur from ene perform- ance with his auto I think IT should select as a teat™ehat he go a few rods backward and let me watch how he did it. Watch any automobdilist on the streets get in a crush of vehicl which forces him to ran for w Uttle way backwart, How does he do It? He will nearly always reverse, glance once. @laybe twice, over his right or his left shoulder, nt which he en he will look back to the frent The glance over his she in simply what vou cali a parenthesis. And this Is the mistake, For in golne backward In an automobile the attention of the chauffeur should be take road in front of him as if no eu existed. His business {s with what les behind him and nothing best te- nthe Jesson upon the management oF steering wheel I insisted upon the ed to keep the eye off the lever, off the brake, off the indicator and, almos always, off the wheel, and to have it fixed undeviatingly on the road the auto Is to traverse, Well, when the action of the maznine ts reversed this caution is re! less Important Of course, the mere reversal of the machine Is a simple matter. The sport lever Indicates elght or sixty miley an hour, as one will, and the longer lever, Instead of being pushed forward, Is pulled back to lie furthest position, The brake on the wheels and the motor brake naturally act quite the same as when the direction ts forward, and 30 does the stecring wheel. But they may all combine to throw you into a ditch {f you divide your attention between them and the road back of you. It will be especially evident now why ® point I made tn an earile~ lesson must de so insisted upon; that was, that the hands and feet must be trained to find thelr way unerringly-—the feet to the two brakes, the right hand to elther of the levers, the left hand to the In- icator of the steam or the button which contro!s the motor, and both hands to the steering wheel, quite with- out the ald of the eye. When the cours 1s forward, the eve. even when It Is shoulder selects, fixed on the road, can {na way assiat the movement of the hands to the necessary instrumenis, but with the head over the der one’s sense of jevers and button and brakes, which, by the Kets to de quite a special sense f—is all one has with which to run the machine. This, however he- comea a mere matter of nabit, and POOGDDOGQODOOOHOINGAS only to adjust the indicator to a nicety with- out looking at It. There ts nothing unron this to mark the modifying or accelerating of the speed, as I have sald, #0 the control of this {s purely one of the senge of touch. watle the head Is ned onwe of belng the ma: ne In every possible a} The important one. and does much to give the automobilist confidence and Only so Is he emergeney, and in an ts only in an emergency bother about ai Geuad " ateve he will be Hable to acelden’ diMcult detail is tn learning | why he ought aa soon kaln entire. familiarity, of the machine, and’ be assur is nothing for all af whose possthilittes he {Is not fully équ FOOTBALL CASUALTY LIST FOR THIS GRIDIRON SEASON. Nine Deaths and Six. tyeseven Serious In- juries the Result of Games Played on Various Fields. The football season of 1901 will clone with the West Point-Annapolla game at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Saturday next. The season has beena sad one from @ casualty atandpont. Nine deaths, six- ty-nine serious and over two hundred minor injuries 1s the appalling record for three months on the gridiron. Com- pared with boxing, hunting, cycling or other outdoor sports it presents a strik- ing contrast. The casualty list in football aggregate: more than in all theother outdoor sports, and still the cry fcr reform is unheeded. Boxing has been condemned as brutal, and the authoritte: oport in nearly all the big Eastern cities, ‘but no effort has yet been made to stop football in the big colleges, It has been claimed by many that the big football casyalty Het is due to the fact that th majority of the Injured and killed have lacked proper physical training, but a glance at the eubjoined list gives this the lle direct, as there are more injuries sustained at the big colleges ¢ minor ones. The following list, which has been compiled specially for The Evening World, shows that four deaths occurred from internal injuries, two from con- cussion of the brain, two from broken neck and one from paralysis. The In- Jury Ust comprises various forms of in- Juries, the principal being: Broken collarbone |. Broken leg Eonousalon. of the ‘brain: Injured spine... ... No account has been taken af the minor Injuries, such as sprains, wrenches, simple fractures and such, FOLLOWED THE HOUNDS. Meaduw Brook Hunt Club Members Rode in Teeth of Wind.
