Boston Nationals
to Have New Home
BOSTON, Oct. 36. Property at the cor
ner of Columbus avenue and Watsole
street has been acquired by the Boston
National league bas ball club. The
old buildings will be rased and the space
will ko utilised as the site of a new
grandstand to be erected before the 19U
teeson.
The maximum both of playing surface
and ot aeatlng capacity la sought. It
may be possible by moving the diamond
to the east to get a slightly longer left
field foul line and at the same ttme a
much longer right field foul line. Mean
while tall atands of steel and cement
construction will more than make up
for any restriction of the present first

AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION
OFFICIALS DO NOT AGREE
NJ3W TOR1C, Oct. A split among
officers ot the Amateur Athletlo union
over the proposition to sanction contests
.between amateurs and professionals under
certain condltlona Is Indicated tonight by
ft statement Issued by James E. Sullivan,
secretary ot the Amateur Athletlo union,
strongly objecting to any such practice
as proposed. The Idea was advanced by
Gustavus T. Klrby, president or tho Ama
teur Athletlo union, In an address, re
ports of which were made public yester
day. 'I do not quite follow Mr. Klrby In his
statement that In his opinion the present
line Is drawn too fine and under certain
circumstances competition should be per
mitted between amateurs and profession
als," said Secretary Sullivan. "I cannot
understand Just what he means by this
sudden change ot heart, for It Is a mat
ter ot record that ho did not feel as he
does now nt the congress In Berlin last
August. At that time he waa In favor
ot making tha amateur definition more
blading.
"Thsre Is no demand, for the good ot
athletics, for auch a proposition aa Klrby
advances, and I doubt It It will ever be
discussed or considered seriously In
America. I not only will personally op
pose any such proposition aa la presented
to allow John Paul Jones to run against
a professional In a root race, but fur
thermore, I will recommend that we
atrengthen our amateur definition at the
annual meeting ot the governing body on
November IT."

TIGERS LOSE ON WET FIELD
Dartmouth Wins Game of Which
Fumbling is feature.
SCORE IS SIX TO NOTHING
Princeton Cleanly Outplayed, Kneuiy
Appenrlna Dangerously Near
Goal Three Times Dnr-
Inrr Play.
PRINCETON. N. J., Oct. X.-Dart-mouth
fulfilled expectations this after-
,noon when It won a 6 to 0 game from
Princeton In a contest devoid of real foot
ball because of a water-soaked field.
Fumbling waa the most prominent fea
ture of the game.
The lono score of the game came after
the Tiger goal had been threatened once.
Ij!ewellyon, who had replaced Ghee for
Dartmouth, noticed the closely drawn
defense of the Tigers and he called for
a delayed pass formation and took, the
ball himself around Princeton's right
end without Interference.
Princeton was cleanly outplayed. Dart
mouth appeared dangerously near the
Princeton goal threw times and Captain
Hogsett made a wild attempt to kick a
field goal at one period, Princeton's
chancea for scoring were few and those
which It did have came aa the result of
a fumble recovered on a blocked kick.
In eplte of the heavy field and the slip
pery ball, punting waa resorted to con
stantly by the teams, both as a de
fensive and offensive play. Curtis kick
ing for Dartmouth outclassed Gtle for
Princeton, who had beti rushed Into the
Princeton line at the last moment be
fore the game because of his punting
ability. In addition the Dartmoeuth for
wards were constantly breaking through
and threatening to block his kicks. Olle
played a better game aa a guard than
he dd aa a punter.

Studebaker People
Make Alterations
for the New Yeai
Formal announcement ot a number o)
Important changes In the Studebaker lln4
was made from the local headquarters ot
the corporation today. While the alteram
tlona are not ot a sweeping nature, they
embody a number of extremely lnturestt ,
Ing features.
The line for next year will be composed
of two chassis types a "Four" at"H,050J
and a "Six" at 51.57C. Both cars art
j fitted with left-hand steer and center)
control. Each model carries a two-imlf '
electric starting and lighting device as
standard equipment. The same type ol
full-floating axle employed on the ''Six'
Is supplied with the "Four."
In both cars the gasoline supply has)
been placed In the dash, permitting art
Ideal feed to the motor without air pres.
sure, by means ot gravitation. In
creased efficiency has been throughout
the keynote of tho chassis design. To
get the maximum of service out of each
gallon ot gasoline haa been tho obvious1
endeavor ot the Studebaker engineers.
I
Air Cushions Are
Weight Supports '
of Automobiles
A pneumatic tire consists of two things,
of which one Is as Important as the other
One of these Is an air cushion; the other1
Is an envelop for retaining air under pres'j
sure and making this atr cushion pos
sible. This envelop la spoken ot by the
trade aa the tire and aa every motorist
knows, consists of a casing and an Inner1
tube; the casing to resist road wear and
the tube to furnish an air-tight lnclosuH
for the air inside. The casing is madii
of rubber and fabric, and the tube ol
rubber. This mass of rubber and fabrla
construction will not sustain the weigh
of any car; It Is the air cushion tbatj
supports the car's weight
Naturally a larger car will require mat
of an atr cushion than a smaller and tn
the same Vay, a larger tire to carry thlJ.
larger ah cushion. A car of a given
weight requires a tire of a given siz
containing air under a given pressure.
