THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, DEC. 18, 1915 AUTOMOBILE AND SPORTING GOSSII

LOCAL ATTACK ROUTS DEFENSE OF BROOKVILLE

Another team tried and , failed to break up the powerful machine -which Coach Xohr of the high school, has built last night at the Coliseum when Brookville lost, 41-20. The locals expected a victory over the downstaters, but not such an easy one. The teamwork at times was bewildering to their opponents, but they frequently missed shots at goal. Almost every goal was made from good, fast passwork. The Brookville boys played a dribbling game which availed them nothing, as the locals always covered. At certain times they show

ed teamwork, but stopped suddenly

when they ran up against one of the husky local guards. Captain Brown and Pitts played the best game for Richmond, while Bossert showed up well for Brookville.

Brown made eight, field goals The

' guarding of the locals was good, out

classing by far that of the visitors, who are the same men who played in

the tournament last March. Toward the end of the game Dol

lins was substituted for Parker at center, and Jessup took Merand's place at guard. Both men were fresh and had lots of pep and ginger, but they failed to take the places of the regulars, r.s Brookville scored on them at will. The absence of the drum corps was noticeable, even if Richmond did win, and the band was not altogether up to past performances. The score: Brookville.

NEW STEERING GEAR USED IN SAXON CAR

Different important parts of automobiles are not understood by owners of machines and for this reason Irvin Reed & Son are making a definite statement each week about some part of the Saxon car for which they are the local agents. This week they will discuss the steering-knuckle. . Manager Johnson of the automobile department said yesterday: "Warner steering gear of the worm-gear type will feature the 1916 Saxons. This mechanism is irreversible,' which has the advantage of sidetracking those thousand little shocks and twists and vibrations springing from the inequalities of the road which in other forms of steering produce many a weary wrist and grouch disposition.

BETHARD INCREASES ORDERS FOR FORDS

CONVENIENCE MARKS NEW DRIVERS' SEAT

"The inconvenience of the driver

has to a great extent been eliminated by the installation of adjustable individual front seats," states Earl O. Spangler, of Spangler St. Jones, distributors of the Haynes Light Six. "The great problem of the automobile manufacturer has been until recently, the arrangement of the front seats, so that convenience and comfort should be accorded the 'driver, who in most cases is not considered. This has been solved to a great extent by the installation of the adjustable individual front seats. Now the man whose anatomical construction is a trifle oversize can enjoy driving as well as the thin or average sized man, by simply adjusting a little bolt and sliding the seat back, giving plenty of body room and incidentally more comfort. "Changing of seats between the passengers in the rear seat with the front seat passenger is made possible by this division between seats without the bother and inconvenience of leaving, the car."

EARLIIAM FIVE LOSES IN FIRST

Wilmington won from Earlham's basketball five last night at Wilmington in a game which was featured by rough work by both teams. The score was 32-27. Meeks was the star for the Quakers, scoring eleven points and making five out of six foul goal. F. Winslow made eight and Laning six points, Morrisch making the other two. For Wilmington Smith played the best game, making seventeen points. Some idea of the roughness of the game can be had from the fact that eighteen fouls were made. The line-up: Earlham. Wilmington. Meeks Bussey Forward.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT Seats at Coliseum. PHONE 1569.

On Dec. 14, 1914, there were 1,808,441 automobile registrations in the United States. Considering the sale of new cars during 1915, it is estimated that there are over 2,000,000 automobiles now in use. This means that two per cent of the population own cars an average of one automobile to each ten homes. . Of these cars the Ford company has built and sold over 1,000,000 machines since the factory was first started. Fred Bethard of Bethard's garage stated that he had increased his order for next year about half and that there would not be any trouble in selling the machines.

People in Holland hava spent their summer vacations at home this year and the Dutch hotels have profited in consequence.

AGENTS FOR BATTERY GIVES SOME DONTS

Here are some helpful "Dont's" on winter care of storage batteries furnished by the Willard Storage Battery company; Don't run your car in winter on a half filled, partially charged battery, it's likely to freeze. Don't forget to fill your battery with distilled water every two weeks If the car is stored. Have it fully charged from your generator or some outside source. Keep the specific gravity between 1.275 and 1.300. Don't forget to have your battery inspected frequently at a battery service station by somebody that knows his business. It saves repair bills.

WAVERLEY MACHINE MAKES LONG TRIP

On another page an advertisement of the model of a' Waverley eliric which stood up under a severe test this week to which it was put by Harry U. Wood, local agent. Mr. Wood, accompanied by friend, one day drove to Connersville and neighboring towns over rough roads, covering a distance of 70 miles on one charge. Arriving back in Richmond that night the machine was re-charged and the very next day driven to Indianapolis and return on the single charge and without a bit of trouble either going or returning. This is a severe test to subject an electric car to at this time of the year and it shows the endurance rowers of the Waverley for the roads between here and the capital city are badly cut up and traveling anything but smooth.
