Bob Fltzslmmons admits he fought a fake with Jim Mall, and the Iord only knows how many ho fought thnt he doesn't admit. Joe Qans admits faking, and so It goes through the whole list. Prize fight ing has been commercialized to a degree beyond that of any other sport, and prin cipals and promoters alike are out for the money and nothing else. Only those of the rsoterlc circle can tell what the result of tho alleged contest Is to be, and the suckers who pay extravagant prices for the privilege of looking on do not onjoy the swctaclo because they are haunted by the belief that the matter has been agreed upon before either principal has left his dressing room.

"The horse will be supplanted by the auto In five years," said Benjamin Briscoe, presiuem ui iiio Auiuiiiuuiia atauuiiiuiuioii association, while In Omaha last week. He probably did not mean on the farm. The new automobile club which has been formed by Philadelphia society women Is so up to date that it haa taken the name Esperanto, "Movlgnnto Klaubo," literally translated. "Moving club." As Omaha spreads out the automobile becomes a more useful adjuct. Many beautiful homes are being built this sum mer several miles from the business district and autos are used to get to the city. Chicago motorists are planning to enter tain the Glldden tourists right royally dur ing their two days stop In the Windy City. The Chlcugo Automobile club and Chicago Motor club will unite in playing host. Although a Toledo oculist blames motor ing for certain forms of eye trouble, he also says that, as the practice becomes more nearly universal, nature will come to the relief of man by producing tougher eyeball muscles. Motor-cyclists of both Baltimore, Md., and Providence, K. I., are endeavoring tJ obtain the annual convention of the Feder ation of American Motor-cyclists for their respective cities. The meeting will be held In July or August. Indiana autolsts are loudly pralslag At torney General Jamr Bingham for his decision that, while they must register; their machines under the new law changing the system of numbering cars, they need not pay a fresh fee. W. O. True, who has been running an automobile livery, has recertly bought from Fredrlckson the big red Bulck. four cylinder car that has been attracting so much attention about the garage. This car will also be used for rental purposes. BrltiRh automobile owners are up In arms Tires and their standardization, a rrob m that has confronted the automobile ndttstrjr from its Inception. Is to be the xt big work of the mechanical branch f the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturer. Tho r,ucces.i of the nssn Intlnn's screw standard. Its standardized I'Xrk plug, l's various experiments In netals and oils and Its ninny educational nglne tests, will be followed by a series f fire tests and adoption of standards -vhlch will be of materlnl advantage to 11 motorists and manufacturers. Tests show that the part of the tire nearest the ground and what Is known n !read "rubber, to give the best results, should be of compound rubber, as pure rubber would not stand the continuous friction caused by coming In contact with the road surface, i Near the center of the 'Ire comes tie "breaker strip." made up f two or three layers of canvas, sep arating the tread from the next layer of nbber or "cushion slock." The "cushion tock" is usually of the highest class rub ber, being only slightly compounded: the next layer toward the center Is a five or six-ply fabric, frlctioned ln.iido and out. The degree of compounding can be ob tained by the specilic gravity of the rub ber, It being known that the specific grav ity of pure rubber Is between .950 and .S)0. The ash. after burning the rubber at a low degree of heat, represents the degree of compounding Independent of the sulphur used for vulcnnlzaVn- To determine the ktienith, a strip of rubber Is cut from each of the different layers of qualities in the tire, one-fjurth Inch wide and one eighth Inch thick. One end Is gripped and weights are then added to the other end until the strip breaks. A Para rubber shows high strength and the cheap rubber low strength. In determining the elas ticity a similar strip is cut from the tires one-fourth Inch by one-eighth inch and a meusurad length of ten centimeters is taken. The strip is then stretched be tween nails on a board until the ten centi meters length becomes thirty centimeters It Is kept in this position for twenty-four hours, then released, and ten minutes after release the permanent set taken. A good rubber has small permanent set; a poor and a cheap rubber has much permanent set. Relative Site of Tires. Considerable dlBcusston has been given to the relative merits of different size tires on front and rear wheels. The size of tires, of course, depends on the weight of a car and Its gearing. Many manufacturers have found It to advantage to use a smaller diameter tire on the front wheels than on the roar, and careful investigation seems to prove this to be wise. First, it is much easier to steer. It having a smaller friction area on the ground surface, this makes the wear on the tire, as the whole, considerable less, with chances for puncture decreased. It has less weight. In Itself and Is nearer proportion to the weight of the car, which Is, of course, heavier In the rear. For high powered cars, that is, cars required to at tain a speed of from forty to sixty miles an hour, the smaller the diameter of tho front tire, the less the danger In case of btow out or puncture. S. F. Kdge, a noted English driver, has nfude "several tests to dterpiiue. ..the., relative,-.shock . caused by punctures, of different sizs front tires with the result that with a three or three and one-half Inch tire, a car going fifty miles an hour would be thrown over six or eight feet, while with an explosion of a five-inch tire, It would be thrown from thirty to forty feet. Economy nnd safety call for smaller diameter front tire. Many do not think It an economy to carry two size tires, but In the long run, It will be found more advantageous. For racing purposes a French driver will not use over a ninety mlmmeter tire on the front wheels. One of the first recommendation of the tire committee of the mechanical branch was the elimination of so many sizes of tires that is. the wheel slaee.

A great difficulty that has confronted the automobile manufacturers !s tho vari ous sizes of rims on the market, thus causing considerable rim cutting to tires. Many of the rim makers of single piece rims had a uniform slza diameter and depth of clinch, but not all. Through tho efforts of the branch the rim makers have all agreed to a standard size rim to be In spected and passed by the tire makers who will guarantee any tire bearing the rim association's stamp. Tests and experiments are being mada for tha standardisation of quick detach able tires and demountable rims, results of which when completed will prove of considerable, advantage to all tlra users. To demonstrate the practicability of their theories and In order that the progress made during the year In perfecting the automobile may be seen, the members of the Mechanical branch of the Association of licensed Automobile; Manufacturers will hold a two days' session In Hartford the early part of May. On May the regu lar monthly meeting will be held at the laboratory. The principal subjects to be discussed will be lubrication and cooling syxtpms.

There will be no controls and tho course will be guarded by army vet erans. Po long as a motor has perfect fitting cylinders, pistons and rings there should be no difficulty about starting from the seat on the upark. The explanation Is that so long as the compression can be held In the cylinder the spark can be used to Ignite the charge.

Tho downfall of the "Big Nine," the In tercollegiate conference which has played so conspicuous a part In middle western athletics for the last decade, Is predicted freely In the west. The expulsion of Mich igan was the first step, and they say that Chicago. Wisconsin and Minnesota are sure to go before long. The preponderance of Influence vested In the smaller colleges, which has operated to the disadvantage of tho four larger Institutions because of the different problems presented to the larne and small colleges, Is the reason. Last fall Chicago played five foot ball games, only one of which was Interesting that with Michigan. It won Its other games by very big scores. The same was true of Michigan and Minnesota. There are other Instances of the same kind that all tend to dissatisfy the larger colleges with the dominance of the small, and the chances of the organization continuing. In view of these conditions, are small. BIG GIN SHOUT AT COLlMDI Cracks of Entire West Will FlocU There for Three Days This Week.
