they plunged on another. Big bonuses
were paid drivers to enter and huge prizes
were hung up. Then they dug down Into

salary from a factory. I made a business
out of automobile racing. I did not drivt
for the love of the sport. Sometimes,
thru a combination of circumstances I

In all my career I lost less than 20 races,

International Tennis Is
Postponed Because of Rain
ChristChurcb, New Zealand, Dec. 30.
The tennis matches for the Davis cup
and the international team champion
ship have been postponed until Monday
on account of rain.
I.arned, Wright' nnd McLoughlin. the
American players, are In the best of
condition for the trip.
The Davis cup, which will be played
for Monday, Is the greatest Interna
tional classic in competitive lawn ten
nis. Dwight F. Davis, of St. I.ouls,
three times a member of tile national
doubles championship team' with H.
Ward, was the donor. The giver of
this trophy said a few years ago that
he had no Idea that it would become
the most Important trophy In lawn ten
nis in three countries. Yet, such is
the ease.
In 1904 the cup was won in America
by the English team of R. F. and H. L.
Doherty, and It remained in England
for three years, the Englishmen tri
umphing over the American teams
which sought to bring it back to this
country In matches played In EnMland.
In 1907 the Australian players. Norman
Brookes nnd A. F. Wilding, won the
trophy In a meeting In England be
tween American, English and Austral-
teams.
Jlnce that time the Australians have
twice defeated America In chujlenge
matches played In Australia, the first
American team ttwnake the Journey to
the far-away land being composed of
Beals C. Wright and FYed B. Alex
ander. Wright won both hla single
matches that year against Brookes and
Wilding. Alexander lost both of his
and the American team lost the dou
bles. In the following year Maurice E.
McLoughlin and Melville E. Long, the
Pacific coast players, were selected to
play In Auatralla. Neither of these
plnyers represented this country In the
preliminary match with England,
In fuct, while America, In the prelim
inary matches played with England,
has been able, to put forth Its full
strength. Including Larned, In singles,
and Hackett and Alexander In doubles,
this country has never before been able
to get so perfectly balanced a team to
make the Australian Journey. The re
sult is that Invading team* were de
feated In Australia, while lawn tennis
players generally believed that were
this country able to send its full
strength against the Australian team
the great trophy would have returned
long ago. 4 . ,
Last year no matches were played for
the Davis cup. England challenged
Australia, but the proceedings came
to naught after the Australian associa
tion had refused to guarantee the Brit
ishers the expenses entailed In making
the Journey. '
The United States has had no dim
culty In defeating the three English
teams that have played here in tha
preliminary matches.

Why Is It that tho average man's
motor car of popular-price class so
soon loses tho glossy ffnlsh which It
wears when ho buys it?
This Is a question which many an
owner-driver asks during his first
month of experience. When he bought
his car It was as bright and shiny ns
anything which tho show rooms a Ions
tho local automobile row had to ex
hibit. Yet. ho Is forced to note, ex
pensive cara bought at about the same
time, have retained a considerable share
of their gloss and make the driver-
owner's car look dull In comparison.
Nine times out of ten the pusled
man evolves ths theory that his own
popular-priced car was not finished
as carefully as that which cc*nmuntled
the higher price. This explanation
may be true In some cases. It Is not
always correct, however,
"Finish." says A. E. Bmitn, manager
of tho Studebaker Corporation's plant
8, "Is a matter that la really up to the
man who takes car* of tho car. On tha
E-M-F *30’ and Flandors '20' for In
stance, wu use the beat paint and var
nish that money can buy. We use as
much of It for each car as tho car will
stand. Addition of more coats wojild
not Improve It otto whit. W« hand-
rub tho finish aa often and aa thor
oughly aa any manufacturer In tha
business. The car* look as well when
they leave our plants.
"Then wo go up against our handi
cap. Tho owners of our cara usually
houas them In their own prtvata gar
ages and themselves give tha can what
care they need. Those owners are busy
men, and can’t afford to spend much
time fussing with tho cars. To keep
the tanka full Is about all the attention
that moat of them gat, with an ooca-
sl'Tial waf.li Saturday afternoon or Sun
day morning.
"Of course, then la no finish In tha
world which will retain gloss with
■ueh treatment as this.
“An expensive car, on the other hand.
With finish not a bit hatter at the start,
will be cared for, aa a rule, by a man
who has little else to do. He washes
tho oar Intelligently, and keeps a bit
6t polish handy. Ha knows ths need
of a soft rang, and hs never uses the
same one twice, unless It has been
thoroughly washed free from grit and
dirt. Aa a result, his car keeps Its fin
ish for a long time.
‘Wo know that this Is a fair sampla
of what actually takea place. Were
further proof necessary we could point
to tho erampl* of many of our cara
which, with reasonable care, have
demonstrated the lasting qualities of
Our finish.”
