IF THE PRICE OF SHOES GETS MUCH HIGHER, ONLY AVIATORS CAN REACH IT. The Great Increase in New York City Traffic Points Out the Pressing Need for a Strict Examination of Motor Car Operators. HE increasing density of New York City vehicular traffic—a report _ just published shows that congestion at five different intersections is the heaviest in the world—is only another argument in the cam- paign for a strict examination of all motor car operators, The inexperience of many drivers of automobiles has resulted in count- less accidents throughout the city. This state of affairs has induced Judge House and other traffic authorities to become active in a movement to have legislation passed at Albany that would make it compulsory for every one to show fitness before being allowed to drive a motor car, Antomobile EAitor eo route from Flatbush proper adjustments on your Conn.

SPORT WORLD NEWS OF ALL KINDS Louis Chevrolet, Championship Against By William Abbott. | T has ever been the custom for brill- | fant young stars to flash across the sport horizon, dazzle the en- raptured populace with their prowess for a short time, and then have their lustre dimmed by the advent of other performers, Few champions can maintain their top-rung position for any length of time. Very fow, indeed, are able to duplicate the feat of Louis Chevrolet, who now in his fifty-fourtn years holds the American speedway title and must concede handicaps to all the young speed demons in the coming automobile championship meets, This swarthy, intrepid Frenchman has been riding his high-powered machine against Fate and the speed- jest pilots on both sides of the At- lantic for some twenty years and he still remaing the daddy and the peer of all the younger men who have | tried to steer him Into retirement. A glance back on Chevrolet's career is to see a record that is fraught with laurels, uceidents and disappoint- ments, Dame Fortune hasn't always smiled on the daring Frenchman. Many a time he was on the verge of winning a big automobile title—only nad a few miles further to go—when fate intervened gine or in the shape of en Ure accidents and compelled hin quitting the race. Despite this uck handicap, the daring Frenchman has captured major honors on both American and European tracks and speedWays many times more numer ous than his many years, ALWAYS A DAREDEVIL WHEN AT THE WHEEL. In action Chevrolet is the persont- fication of sp He ts that type of driver who is either well in front of the procession of snorting machines or in the pits making repairs because he madly attempted to force more speed out of his gasoline mount than machine was capable of giving. ‘a rms of auto racing the an likes most the sprints, which jare easily the most dangerous of all kinds of competitions because the cars become crowded the finish Jline, When in action, especially in his favorite sprints, Chevrolet fre- quently takes d ate chances that only the most reckless of all speed demons would take, When off the tracks he {s quiet and retiring almost to point of being bashful After rolling up @ sensational recor’ | on European tracks in the early days | the \ Oldfield, Mulford and Other Stars. ‘Doyle and Ruth in Hospitals, SOME MEN WILL CHASE A STRAW HAT FURTHER THAN THEY WILL OPPORTUNITY. Such as De Palma, Rest of racing with machines that spurted fire and smoke at every yard, the daring Frenchman came to this coun- try fifteen years ago as the personal driving representative of Alfred Van- derbilt, He quickly made a tremen- dous bit with American motor fans with his style of racing and utter ecklessness. That was long before many of the present day stars dreamed of steering a racing wheel. Yet ever since Chevrolet has figured in nearly every big auto competition throughout the country. Several times n@ Was near the stage of retiring, but he always came back, speedier and | more confident than ayer. | In 1910 the grizzied vbteran sustain- ed serious accidents in a gruelling | race in Chicago. He was confined to 4 | hospital for months, Every one, ex- cept those few who knew the Frencn- | man intimately, believed that the/ dare-devil must eurely bring his reck- | leas career to a close, But Chevrolet | fooled them. While lying on a hospi- tal cot he thought out and designed a new motor that now bi "s his name. AS soon @s strength returned the dean of all pilots promptly took his} new motor and entered himself for the next important meet, and he won it. ALWAYS FOOLS HIS YOUNGER | RIVALS BY WINNING. Five years ago marked the advent of the new high American pedways at She Bay, Chi- cago and Cin so-called wise ones hopp occasion to tuck Mr. Chevrolet away int quletude of the “has beens.” Oni again the veteran crossed the wires. He went to the new tracks as if they had been const lar benefit Short sprints or the longer com petitions, it didn't matter which the fellow worked his maciine always | well up with the leaders. In 1915 and 1916 when Dario E the Italian land flyer, who was specding over all opposition, it was Louis Chevrolet who gave hin ail the excitement he ired. Ast season Chevrolet won the American speedway championship when he flashed over the 100 mile route at the average rate of 10 miles an hour. In recognition of this feat, the big Frenchman is the only one who will start from scratch in the Hark neas Handicap, at 100 miles, will feature the Decoration Day 1 at the Sheepshead Bay Speedwa ‘This nv old champion lowances to such far Ralph Do Palma, Dario Oldfield, Ralph Mulfo: other stars who will derous machines in pursuit acted for his particu- set flyers as Barney nd about ten jot their pon- the Harkness which | uns that the ffty-four-year-| 1 must concede time al-| | Ameriean congue Batting Avera At 54, This Daredevil Auto Race Driver Must Concede Handicaps to Younger Rivals a the Daddy” of His Risky Profession, Has Been Racing Twenty-Two Years and Now Is Called Upon to Defend His American Speedway MAJOR LEAGUE AVERAGES Compiled by Moreland News Bureau eugue Batting Avernges. m whe have olaved wo to G.
