Arthur Chappie Has Had Varied Racing Career

Champion Motorcyclist Dodged Death Many Times
T
O moot Arthur Chappie one
would rehdily associate him :
"Tti a branch of to > cMoiil j
■**w«t**rt, as his pleas&nt expres- j
sions and polite manners would lead
you to imagine. To encounter his j
presence on a motorcycle race track j
you meet the practical type of the
happy-go-lucky daredevil, ready for
anything that will lead to excitement,
be it ever so dangerous or rough. |
Following his vocation of motor
drome racing “Chap” is ever ready
to boost his fellow-riders, but hesi
tates to exploit his own hazardous
undertakings.
* • *
THE grave has claimed a great por-
1 tion of those who cast their lot
with Chappie in the game of hide-
and-go-seek with tiie Grim Reaper.
Derosies, Hasha, Albright. Edwards.
McNeil and so on runs the list of
Tie original daredevils,- but Chappie
alone remains to sit and tell us how
‘hey were killed and why quick an
ion has saved him from a similar
'ate. In fact, Arthur thinks death is
vi joke.
• * *
T URNING off miles in 1 minute and
4 second was nothing new for
Chappie when he first arrived in this
country. After a successful season at
falls ajid wrecks, Chappie showed to
advantage throughout New England
as pacemaker for many of the for
gotten stars. At Madison Square
Garden Chappie corppeted against the
redoubtable Parisian riders, Albert
Champion and Ralph DePalma. The
latter is now rated one of the best
auto racers in tl*> world.
At Clift+th, .. j&ck rrlnce built
his initial effort In motordrome con
struction only to find that a six-lap
track required exceptional nerve and
steady arm to keep out of the grand
stand seats.
One Sunday afternoon an auburn-
haired boy flew around Its treacher
ous banks, only to land at the spec
tators’ feet a crumbled mass of flesh
and blood. The auburn-haired youth
who rode into the jaws of death was
Sunny Briggs, who will be remem
bered by many of the old fans in the
early days of the sport. Chappie fell
with Briggs, and he was badly in
jured, but managed to escape death,
however.
C HAPPLE next wandered down to
the Florida sands, in company
with Bob Stubbs, the famous Bir
mingham speed artist. For three days
they shattered world’s records and
tiie final score gave Chappie credit for
new figures for ten and twenty miles.
Stubbs had hung tenaciously to the
one-mile record.
Chappie’s scars bear proof of the
many serious encounters with the
outside fence. At Philadelphia in
1910 Arthur burst through the outside
turn of the Point Breeze track and
lingered beneath death’s shadow long
enough to memorize the time that the
angel’s song.
I N the blowing of tires “Chap” can
always be trusted to hold his ma
chine at any speed. On one occasion
a terrible accident was avoided by
of speed, it mounted the wire netting
that screens the spectators from the
top of the track, with “Chap’’ fight
ing every Inch for supremacy, lie
finally brought the flying wreck back
onto the track and finished up on
the running board.
* * *
/THE spectators, realizing that a ter-
* rible accident was narrowly avert
ed, gave vent to their feelings by
cheering “Chap” to the echo. Chap
pie will linger with us a few more
days and tiien depart for Savannah,
where he will participate in the great
motorcycle classic on Christmas day.

Coach Warner Picks
All-Time Indian
Football Eleven
CARLISLE, PA., Nov. 29.—As a
football innovation the all-time se
lections made by the competent au
thorities are becoming popular and,
withal, interesting.
Coach Glenn S. Warner, of the Car
lisle Indian School, having been
asked to name an All-Time Carlisle
team, made the following selection:
Ends—Albert Exendine, Edward
Rodgers; tackles—Martin Wheelock,
Emil Wauseka; guards — Bemis
Pierce, Charles Dillon; center—Wil
liam Carlow; quarterback—James
Johnson; halfbacks—James Thorpe,
Joseph Guyon; fullback — Peter
Houser.
In estimating qualifications Warner
gave preference to uniform heady
play. For Exendine and Rodgers
ttiere were the especial qualities of
ideal spepd,- build and weight. Both
tackles were magnificent specimens
of manhood and used their brains to ;
advantage.
The huge, intelligently-handled
bulk of Pierce and the genius of Dil
lon for interference were specified by
the great coax'h; Callow’s steadiness
in passing and all-round defensive
and offensive work names him.
Of all American quarterbacks, Jim
mie. Johnson is thought to have been
the greatest. His masterful leader
ship, strategic ability and physical
prowess were wonderful. Thorpe
needs no comment. Guyon. consid
ering his inexperience, is litfle short
of a marvel. For fullback. Warner
said that in all fairness the palm
would have to go to Peter Houser.

Jake Daubert Was Not Consid

land Club in 1907,
O NE of the many peculiarities of
baseball crops up in Daubert
being considered by the Chal
mers trophy commissioners the play
er most valuable to his team in the
National League this year, for in 1907 I
the Brooklyn captain was declared not j
sufficiently competent to hold nis j
berth with Cleveland. This year he ,
wins the Chalmers car. That same i
j season Larry Doyle, who won the
! Chalmers car last year, was looked !
j over by a scout for an American
I League club while he was playing
with Springfield, of the Three-1
j League, and the scout advised against
J his purchase.
Doyle cost the Giant* $4,500, which
i was a record price for a minor league
inftelder in 1907. Daubert was :i?-
I quired by Brooklyn via the draft
; process in 1910 for the sum of $1,000,
! the Giants also putting in a draft for
j him and losing out in the draw. Sir
I Jacob never was in danger of being
, sent back to the minors after he
! reached the majors for the second
i time, and by June, 1910, had been
dubbed the Hal Chase of the National
League. He failed to nbtain mem-
I bership in the Society of the Three
Hundred the first year he was in the
National League, but in 1911 he hit at
a .30-7 clip, and in 1912 his record was
, .308. This year Daubert has boosted
i his stick credit to .350, and there is
, a possibility that he may be the bat-
: ting king in the organization in which

I N hln first 128 games this year Dau
bert procured 165 safeties, going
j hitless only in 26 controversies. He
did his best work with the willow i n
.1 iilv 14 and 16. On the first n im< d
date he secured four hits in four
times at bat off Pierce, Overall and
Reulbach, of the Cubs, and on the
last-named date he located Jimmy
Lavender, of the Bruins, for four
smashes, batting against him five
times. Daubert has hit at a .428 clip
against the Cardinals and at a .40*5
pace against the Phillies. The Cub
pitchers have yielded him an aver
age of .350, the Pittsburg hurlers .342,
the Red heavers .339, the Boston gun
ners .310 and the Giant artillerists
.279.

TYWJBERT has made only a dozen
errors this season, and only once
has he committed two misplays in the
same contest. His biggest day's work
at th♦* first comer was on April 29,
when he cared for 20 out of the 21
chances that came his way. On April
14 he obtained four assists, which is
quite a lot for a first baseman.

To point out the golfing event of the year
Is not of importance for purposes here.
In Clubdom and Wigwam, at home, on the links
Of the Amateur prowess most often he thinks
And the golfer delights, in his stories, to tell
Of the game that HE played when he played the game well.
Had yon all been afar from the news of the day,
If one stood here and told you the truth—you would say
Here’s a Baron Munchausen—a liar of the worst;
There IS no such King as KING FRANCIS THE FIRST
But listen a moment, the tale is replete
With incident keen and with victory sweet;
And hear well in mind that the field, that first day
Contained all the “CLASS”—and all trained for the fray.
There were Champs and Ex-Champs; “Jerry” Travers, McLeod;
Jack McDermott., who swore that he'd beat the whole crowd.
George Sargent, “Jack" Hobens, three Andersons, Reed;
The burr of the Scotch all mixed up with the tweed.
There was Brady, two Smiths, Louis Teller of France
Tommy Mac—“Nipper” Campbell—they all had their chance.
It ended on Friday and here is the score;
Ted” Ray—Harry Vardon—each three hundred four.
The hopes of the Star-Spangled Banner are few;
Our boys did the best they could possibly do.
But they say there’s a lad who's still out in the rain
And he’s fighting his battle with might and with main
Somewhere in the blood of this stripling, bo shy.
Is that conquering strain which can never say “die"
And the eyes of the nations—the ears of the world
Wherever the records of sport can be whirled.
Are strained with a tension they can not resist.
To get the result—the last twist of the wrist
Of the boy who Is making this resolute stand
To keep OUR OWN emblem within OUR OWN land
When the word was brought up to the Club House, at last
Just what figures would TIE—the last hope had passed
FOURTEEN—to finish four holes such as these?
Good-by, Mr. Cup! You’re to sail o’er the seas!
When the last stroke was played—you remember the scene
Our FRANCIS had made the four holes in FOURTEEN
But alas! for the tremors—the joys of delight!
The three in a tie; it’s a heart-rending plight..
A boy In his ’teens, to be pitted next day,
Against the Great Vardon—the Giant-like Ray
What show has this youth with the cunning and skill
Of veterans like these? Tis a sad, hitter pill.
But never a thought nor a worry’ had he
When he met his bold foemen upon the first tee;
And they went the first nine at so even a clip
That the scores were the same at the half of the trip
And Ray looked at Vardon—and Vardon looked back—
And the thought of the twain was: “This youngster MUST crack’
Coming into the stretch—at the fifteenth, in fact,
By Jove! Don’t you know! Twas the Great Ray that, cracked
And when they’d gone on, for a couple holes more.
The debonair Vardon—in forcing his score—
Was caught in a trap and when he got out—
JOHNNY BULL—as of yore—was again put to rout
And all through the play—if the: truth must, be known- -
These greatest of golfers were frequently shown
That the game they were TEACHING when Ouimet was born
Has a MASTER—at Woodland, the lad who lias worn
The crown he has won—with no vanity cursed.
And that’s w hy we honor KI NG FRANCIS THE FIRST
Chappie when his front tire burst in
a two-mile record trial at Philadel
phia last summer. The front tire blew

year. They are both fast, shifty and
capable of standing all sorts of pun

Newell, in spltfc of his light weight,
played in eight S. I. A. A. games
with everyone watching him. In spite
of that he gained ground repeatedly,
received all kinds of punishment end
never had to be taken /out. He is the
most valuable halfback that Auburn
has ever had, and the passing of him
and McWhorter removes two of the
South’s greatest halfbacks from the
arena.
* * *
T HERE are several good quarter
backs to pick one from. Pad-
dock, of Georgia; Boensch, of Van
derbilt; Tolley, of Sewanee; L. Du
pont, of L. S. U., and Arnold, of
Auburn.
As this was Arnold’s first year at
the position the cares of conducting
a tearri towards the championship in
terfered materially with his individual
play. He is really a first-class man
carrying the ball, but used himself
very little.
To my mind the best man of the lot
is Paddock, of Georgia—heady, expe
rienced and a brilliant individual
player. Boensch is as brilliant an
individual player but not nearly as
good a general. He was very bril
liant in his individual playing against
Auburn, but the fact that Auburn was
perhaps playing the poorest game of
the year may have had something to
do with it. The other quarterbacks
followed these closely. In fact, the
competition here is keener than for
any other position.
* * *
T HE question of fullback will bring
on a lot of discussion. Harris, of
Auburn, was the most talked-of full
back of the year. For a man of his
weight he is tiie most wonderful full
back I have ever seen. However, he
weighs on 147 and it is very doubt
ful whether he could stand a full
game or not. He goes so hard that
he would very likely hatter himself
to pieces. This is his first year and
if lie puts on any weight to amount
to anything he bids fair to be one of
the South’s greatest fullbacks.
There were other good fullbacks at
Auburn—Christopher and Bidez.
When these men were good, they were
very good, but they were not as con
sistent as Harris. Vanderbilt could
not stop Bidez. but against Georgia
it was Christopher that could not be
stopped

Buy Nothing Else
This Winter
You men who investigate will this
winter buy nothing but All-Weather
treads.
Here is all the advantage, all the
economy of the plain-tread tire. And
here is the last word In efficient anti
skids. It is the greatest of Good
year inventions.
The tread is double-thick. The
rubber is extra tough — toughened
by a secret process. The blocks
are deep and enduring. They
last for thousands of miles.
The tread is flat. The projec
tions are broad and regular. Thus
we avoid vibration and give you the
smooth-tread effect.
The blocks have sharp edges, facing
the skidding direction. And those
edges stay sharp. Their grip on wet
roads is tenacious.
The blocks widen out so they meet
at the base. Thus the strains are dis
tributed just as with plain-tread tires.
It was separate projections, centering
the strain at one point in the fabric,
which made anti-skids short-lived.
Come, see and compare them. No
man who does this will ever
buy the old-type anti-skids.
There is no comparison, in
efficiency, in economy, in all-
around, long-time service.
You can see this at a glance.
Yet most anti-skids cost more
than these because of smaller
output.
The Most Popular
Tires Ever Made
All-Weather treads now come, if
wanted, on Goodyear No Rim-Cut
tires. They outsell our smooth
treads with users. And these great
tires are now, by long odds, the
largest-selling tires in the world.
No-Rim-Cnt tires first won top place
because they cannot rim-cut. They
have saved motor car owners many
millions of dollars by this one great
economy.
They are also the only tires which
are final-cured on air bags, nnder actual
road conditions. This is done at an
extra cost of $1,500 daily. It is done to
save the countless blow-outs due to
wrinkled fabric.
They are the only tires in which
hundreds of large rubber rivets are
created to prevent tread separation.
Rim-cutting is made impossible.
Blow-outs and loose treads are
minimized in ways that no rival
employs. Because of this fact, no
other tire compares in sales with
Goodyears.
No-Rim-Cut Tires
With All-Weather Treads
Now comes this All-Weather tread.
A tread which safety demands on all
wheels at all seasons. An anti-skid
tread which has no competi
tion with men who know mo
facts.
So there are now four econ
omies—four enormous advan
tages—to win you to No-Rim-
Cut tires. You will join the
legions who buy these tires
when you once find them out.
