YANKEES EXPECTED TO SMASH RECORD
With Babe Ruth on the club, the Yankees haye a chance to smash all team home run records next Beason. ' Even without Ruth, the Yankees established a new American league home run record last season with 45 , ten more than the tail-end Athletics, who were second in this department. Ruth made 29 of the 32 Red Sox homers last season, so the Boston club's home run crop without Ruth is not expected to be visible to the naked eye next season. The Yankees actually have cornered the available supply of home run leaded.. With the exception of 1915, the year Baker was out of baseball, a member of the present Yankee team has led the American league in home . runs in each of the last nine years. Baker was the boss home run clouter in 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1914. Plpp led in 1916 and 1917. and Ruth In 1918 and 1919. The year that Roth led. 1915, he won the leadership with the ridiculously low figure of seven. Hi diddle datter The ball and the batter ' The pitcher was hurling his shiners The mogul galoots Barred the freakish inshoots. Now the pitcher Is" back in the minors. Joe Benjamin, the far coast lightweight star, who shone brightly in
the east for a few weeks and then laded away, has been matched for a ten-round bout with Bud Anderson out
in Portland, Oregon. Anderson has done little fighting of late years and has grown into the welterweight class. He is the man who first stopped Knockout Brown and started the latter on the slide. Anderson acquired considerable fame by the feat and It looked as though he was going to sail right through the lightweight division. Then Anderson met Leach Cross and the New Yorker knocked him out. Little was heard of Anderson after that.
"Y"Fish of Three Cities To Compete in City Pool Human fish from Anderson, Muncie and Richmond Y. M. C. A.s will perform in a tri-meet in the Richmond Y swimming pool Tuesday night. Five men will complete the Richmond team and will be entered in sprint, plunge, and diving contests. Ivan Toney, Victor Prokofieff, Francis Robinson, Casper Parker and either Leroy Harding or Harold Sinex are the five to be selected. The events will consist of a 40 yard sprint; 100 yard swim; plunge for distance, time not to exceed one minute; three men 40 yard relay and plain and fancy diving.
Shelbyville Will Play Richmond as Final Game; Dope Indicates Hot Game Preparations for the final basketball tilt of the season will be made by Coach Fries and hi3 Richmond high basketball squad, commencing Tuesday afternoon in the Coliseum. Shelbyville is booked for this scrap, and although this five has a good record, it has lost by greater scores to the same teams that wallopedRichmond. For this reason, the high school mentor is hopeful of closing the season with a victory. Richmond journeyed to Indianapolis Saturday nght, and received a 27 to 12 walloping from Manual high. Irregular basket 6hooting spelled defeat for
the locals. Although consideraDiy outweighed, the Red and White worked the ball through the Manual defense, onlv to lose it on poor shooting. Richmond had 17 free throw chances, and Wilson connected with seven and Price with one. Reed caged ft long field marker and Wilson duplicated the feat. This closed the scoring for the Red and White. Wertz led in scoring for Manual, tossing four field and five foul goals. Harmison looped five through the netting. Richmond started the game as though to victory. The close of the first five minutes saw them leading 5 to 0. Manual braced, hfcvfever, and the half ended with Manual leading If. to 5. The second half saw Manual connecting with 11 points to Beven of Richmond. Preparations are being made for a large delegation of rooters to accompany th team to Newcastle. At least 100 have signified their intentions of being present when Richmond plays, and this number is expected to be further increased.

Prospects Bright for Berth in New League Says Eggemeyer: Circuit Planned Richmond baseball fans will probably get an opportunity of supporting league ball In Richmond. According to a decision reached at a re-organization meeting of the Central League, at Kalamazoo, Michigan, Sunday, Richmond and Springfield Ohio, would be admitted. Elmer Eggemeyer president of the Richmond Exhibition Company, said Monday that prospects for Richmond obtaining a berth are very bright. At present there are six clubs in the league: Manistee, Ludington, Muskegon, Lansing, Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo; all of Michigan. Richmond and Springfield would make it a tri-state league. Applications from Lima South Bend and Muncie, were unfavorably received.
PROPELLER SHAFT--As the engine Is placed In the forward part pf the car, while the wheels which are to be driven by the engine are placed some feet in the rear ot the engine,, the two must be connected by a shaft. This shaft Is called the Propeller shaft. Sometimes It Is called the driving shaft, but this name is generally gf- - to the driving, shafj''
in the rear axle. ' ' ' i The propeitci shaft Is " usually num-, ing more than a piece of 6olid round I
steel, though for lightness sake, it is
often a tube of steel. It itself requires no attention and practically never gives trouble. The Universal Joint. The propeller shaft is connected to the power plant, and in most cars to the rear axle, by what is known as the universal Joint, which might be defined as a device for transmitting revolving motion from one shaft to another, when the axes of these shafts are at an angle to one another. As the universal is a "hard to get at" part of the car, its lubrication la seldom properly looked after, so manufacturers have finally designed a Joint which can be packed with enough grease to last for many thousand miles, and whih is as nearly "neglect proof" as possible.
Whydo we need the universal Joint,
The rear axle Is attached to the frame by means of springs and so the height
of the frame above the axle Is con
stantly changing, and therefore the
angle of the propeller shaft to the
crank shaft of the engine will con
stantly be changing. This makes it
impossible to have these two shafts in
a straight line at all times, and there
fore the universal which will drive through the varying angles, must be used. In most cars, the propeller
shaft will be in line with the engine shaft, when the car is fully loaded, but must, because of the spring action
then, be at an agle when only par
tially loaded.
Let us see how the universal Joint Is designed. Let A Fig 1 be one shaft and B the other at an angle thereto. Let us next fasten to A a fork like arm C, and to B another, as D. It we could now couple these two forks to
gether in some way and down, with
the fork D as a pivot, and A sideways,
with the fork C as a piyot, our problem would be solved. This can be done by coupling them with a spider, as shown In Fig. 4. In Figs. 2 and 3, the coupled universal joint is shown. By observing Fig. 2, you will notice that the spider F is in a horizontal
position, and that the fork D and shaft B have swiveled on its pins. As
the shafts make a quarter of a revolu
tion the universal will take the position shown in Fig. 3. Here you will notice that he spider has swiveled on
the fork C, and Is now at an angle to the horizontal. When the shafts have
made but an eighth of a revolution, the propellor shaft will have partly swiveled on the spider, and the spider will have partly swiveled on the fork of the
driving shaft. Thus you see that by
means of this double swivel the shaft
will be driven even when at an angle. It is found that for one-quarter of a revolution, the driven shaft will be
slightly retarded, . while for the next
quarter, It will be slightly acceler
ated, then it will-again be retarded
and again accelerated, so that the drive of the rear wheels will not be absolutely uniform: - To overcome this difficulty two universals are generally
used, the forks on each end of the propeller shaft being placed at right
angles to one another.- In this way the retarding action of the one will come during the accelerating action of the other, thus equalizing the fault and giving a uniform drive. Were the propellor shaft positively connected to the universal joint, then the rear axle, as it moves up and down with respect to the frame, would have to move through an arc of a circle, the center of which Is the front universal. In many cars, the springs, torque arm or radius rods are so designed that they will not permit this. The propeller shaft is therefore connected to one of the universals in such a manner as to be able to slide back and forth
in it, which is usually done by having its end square, and fitting it into a square hole in one of the universals. This is shown in Fig. 5.
I In the Ford car, the radius rods are I so designed that, though the end of the propellor shaft is square. It does
not slide back and: forth 'and ' the pin passing through, the hub of, the uni
versal and the shaft must not be left out, as It so often Is.'; ;: " In .order to take- care of the lubrication the universal is usually In
closed In a metal cover or housing, one
end of which is - ball shaped, and against which a shutter, equipped with a packing which will prevent grease working out, presses. This is shown in Fig. 5 L, being the housing in M. the shutter, and P the packing. The shutter is held pressed against the housing by the nut R About once in evry 5,00ft miles the plug 8 should be unscrewed and the housing filled with grease, by means of a grease squirt-gun. In time, the packing. P will wear.' Therefore, each time the housing is filled with grease, or when grease is found spattered about near the uni
versal, the nut R should be screwed up so as to take up this wear. If this is not done the grease will work out,' resulting in the bushings T and their pins wearing. This wear , will cause a bad knock and eventually the crushing of the bushing, and possibly also other bad breaks. Keeping the universal points packed with grease is extremely important, as the strain on them is very great. They perform a difficult task.

Bowling Notes
Bob Le Grende. Bob Le Grende, Georgetown Uni-. versity track and field star, may be or- of America's representatives at the Olympic games at Antwerp next summer. He won the pentathlon tit!e at the inter-allied meet Pershing stadium, Paris, last year.
Monday night's bowling program at Twigg's alleys calls for the Kentucky five of the A. S. M. league to- open with Light Drafts. The Hoosiers and Jumbos ate listed for the second engagement and the league leading Empires will wind up the evening with
the Easy Full quintet. Since receiving their first two-game trimming of the season, the Empires have had much, practice. Which means Ike Epping's team is "out for blood." A battle royal should be forthcoming when the league leading Feltman Tramps clash with the second place Coke squad, in the City League Tuesday night. The cream of Richmond fowling talent is included in the ranks of these teams, and double century score should be common. The lowly Lichtenfels' itaberdashers and A. S. M- quintets will hook up for cellar honors in the final performance. Wilson's Clenners are listed to open
Thursday's bill against the Kaysee
Number One aggregation.- The Num
Der two naysees are nsteu lor a
three-game tilt with the Hill Laddie
outfit.
