YOU GET EXTRA PROTECTION
AGAINST BLOWOUTS — eight
extra /rounds of rubber arc added to
every 100 pounds of cord by the
Firestone patented Gum-Dipping
process. By this process every fiber in
every cord in every ply is saturated
with liquid rubber. This counteracts
dangerous i. \ nal friction and beat
that ordinarib cause blowouts.
YOU GET uXTRA PROTECTION
AGAINST PUNCTURES—because
of Gtlm-Dipped cords.
YOU GET EXTRA PROTECTION
AGAINST SKIDDING-because the
tread is scientifically designed.
YOU GET LONGER NON-SKID
MILEAGE because ofithe extra tough,
long-wearing tread.
Firestone Standard Tires give you all
these extra value features because they
are first-quality tires built with high-
grade materials find patented
construction features. You SAVE
MONEY because you buy this high
quality and extra value at such low
prices.

Petticoats May Be Bad Luck SERVICE CLUBS

Brain Hemorrhage
PITTSBURGH — (UP) — The

Page, lightweight fighter, of in-

luck on the ocean.
This is particularly true in
America’s cup racing—definitely
a man’s game. But in 1934 T. O.
M. Sopwith and his British chal-
lenger Endeavour 1st violated
this rule by having Mrs. Sop-
with aboard as time keeper.
Sopwith lost to “Mike” Vander-
bilt’s Rainbow.
Both Wives Aboard
And this year Sopwith again
has itis wife in the Endeavour
IPs afterguard. Also “Mike” Van-
derbilt has his wife aboard the
defending Ranger. They invited
trouble—and Sopwith, at least,
got it.

Baer also said that he is about

Max Schmeling is the world’s
best heavyweight. But he was
most explicit regarding the im-
pending title joust between the
Detroit negro and Farr, it is a
matter on which he may be con-

as he was whipped soundly by
both parties.
“At first I thought it would
be Louis in two rounds,” he es-

I seen or heard anything in a
fight camp that can compare
to the undercurrent of rumors
and reports that swirl constant-
ly through swanky Newport.
Never was there a fight camp
that featured the whisperings
and ear-bendings that distinguish
the current America's cup series.
“Hob Sisters" On Hand
More than 100 newspapermen
have come to Newport for the
America’s cup series. Likewise

on news that concerns two wom-

angles of the series.
This scurrying about lias
nothing to do with Mrs. Mike
Vanderbilt. But it is connected
quite definitely with two British
women- Mrs. T. 0. M. Sopwith
and Mrs. Fred Segrist.
Sopwith and Segrist are part-
ners in tlie manufacture of Brit-
ish armaments and airplanes.
Both are multi-millionaires. And
according to a certain Boston |
“Sob Sister,” Segrist and Sop-
with are partners in owning ihe
British Challenger, Endeavour
If. Segrist also is alleged to own
the Endeavour i, which lost to
Rainbow in 19.34. The Sopwiths
live on the yacht Philante, and
the Segrists reside on the yacht

numerous abrasions, bruises,
torn ligaments, and sprained fin-
gers will accompany the players
to the park tonight.
Dr. R. O. Peters, heavy Mag-
nolia-Medico hitter, pitcher, and
sometimes fielder, is scheduled
to watch the game from the side-
lines. Odds on the local I Jons
went down a notch when he
sprained an ankle in the Wed-
nesday night workout.
Mike Smith, the prune ped-
dling, auburn-thatched hoy who
was to have played tonight,
broke Itis glasses Thursday, and
had a run-in with an acre of
cockle-burs. Reports are that
Mrs. Smith was kept up way be-
yond curfew extracting cockle-
bur spines from the grocer. He
probably will not start the game.

“When we fought everyone

in the first, round. Well, he
didn’t hit at all but butted me
before two minutes had passed.
I could hardly see for the rest
of tlie bout.
"Farr actually can’t hit, but
he is a good boxer and his style
is puzzling. Louis may require
time to solve him. After that it
will be a matter of Farr wear

Louis will knock him out. It's
