For the first time la several Tears the
averley Comnnr will make an exhibit
f commercial electrics at both the New
York and t'hlraico shows.
The exhibits of all electric pleasure
carriages having been assigned to the
second week. January 1 to SI. of the
V ad I. .on Garden show, at which tlmo both
irasollne and electric motor trucks will
be on view, the Wav eric jr managers de
cided to use part of their apace for com
merclal electrics.
The pleasure car exhibited will be the
l!Ui four-passenger silent Waverley
brougham, tnolrl 81. which la the most
luxurious car this company has ever
built. The brougham top In this model
Is not detachable, as In previous designs
of covered bodies, but built In a single
piece, thus permitting; the treatment of
the upholaterr aa a one-piece job, and
gaining an enhanced effect of luxury
In the interior fittings, imported broad
cloths, broad laces and English coat mo
rocco, of the choicest quality and pat
terns, vie with each other In contrib
uting to this effect, while the minor fin
ishings are In richly harmonious designs.
Two toilet cases are supplied, one with
watch and vinaigrettes, the other with
match safe and cigar holder. These, with
the flower vase, umbrella -holder and
elsctrle dome light, complete the Interior
furnishings. I
Brakes Are Effective.
At the left of the rear seat are the
controller handle and steering lever,
and Just In front of these the shaft-driven
odometer and two powerful foot
brakes. The unusual width and depth
of the front seat, the great expanse of
plate glass windows and the complete
arrangements for ventilation, make tills
electric notable among all four-passenger
carriages that will be seen at either of
the shows.
The battery Is the famous nickel-steel
battery Invented by KdJson, that has
doubled the mileage of every electric
equipped with It In the past year. The
type used la that known as A-4, and the
number of cells Is bi.
The mechanical equipment Includes the
Waverlcy high-efficiency shaft drive,
now in its third year of actual use In
owners' hands. The principal feature ot
thla drive Is the use of herringbone gears
connecting parallel snafu, a device pe
culiar to the silent YVaverley, that has
lilsli Indorsement from gear experts In
many technical publications. The con
troller Is the aii me that railed forth
the delighted exclamation- from Edison
lost year: "Now that Is the way to
build a controller." It Is based on the
principal of knife-blade contacts and hna
an Interlocking device that makes It
Impossible to change the apeed direction
with the power on or to start on nny
speed but the kw thus preventing Jerk
ing and Jumping when the car starts.
Motor Is itiire.
The Waverley motor, the motor that
gives M) per cent of turning power for
every 100 per cent of overload, forma
part of the equipment, aa well aa the
Waverley full elliptic springs, 178 pounds
of the best spring steel. J14 feet In ths
length of the main leaves alone, account
ing largely for the supreme luxury of
motion which the Waverley people claim
for their cars.
The strength, elasticity and durability
of the mechanism used on this brough
am may be inferred from the fact that
It has been found entirely practicable for
use on the Model 83 Waverley light de-
important than ever before. Until 10
years ago the chief duty of the end was
to lie out on the extreme end of the
line on the defensive to prevent long
runs around lilm, while- on the offen
sive his duty was to open holes in the
opposing- line. Seldom did he carry the
ball.
When double line of defense came to
be used, the end became one of the
most Important positions on the team.
Up to this time the ends were usually
small, speedy men, but It was soon
found out that the big; man was more
valuable In smashing; up plays.
Since the Introduction of the forward
pass the great weight of defensive play
off tackle fell upon the ends, as it be
came necessary to drop the halves back
10 or IS yards to prevent the success
ful execution of forward pass plays.
This caused the coaches to look for bis
and speedy men to fill these positions.
In looking over the personnel of the
most successful teams of this season
one will find that on every one of these
teams the ends are bis;, powerful men.
Harvard. Michigan, Princeton and Min
nesota all have men playing the end
positions who weigh over 180 pounds.
The Chicago-Minnesota game afforded
an excellent example of the value of
the big man In the end position. Few
people realize that the dashing runs of
McQovern. Johnson and Rosenwald
were In a large measure due to the
splendid work of the big Gopher ends,
who continually boxed the Chicago
tackles.
The work of the end on the defensive
has become more Important than ever
before on account of the restriction re-

"How did Sullivan train for those

"Why," replied the veteran sporting
man, "he never was In condition. On a
day or night that he was to meet some
fellow and try to knock him out in four

In this exhlolt.
The norel feature of this car Is the
nse of shaft drive of high efficiency
for the delivery of goods. The shaft
drive has practically put the chain drive
out of use on high-grade pleasure cars.
Why then not apply It to the light de
livery wagon T
When this question suggested Itself to
the Waverley Company It found at once
the correct solution. The Waverley high
efficiency shaft drive was In the third
year of actual use In the hands of own
ers: It had been proved by five years of
road test and had received the Indorse
ment of the greatest engineers and gear
experts In the country. It remained
only to adapt it to the use of a light
delivery wagon, and this was easily ac
complished. Commercial Models Many.
Waverley Model (3 promises to revolu
tionise the delivery business of depart
ment stores, dry good stores, milliners,
grocers, laundries, and all that class ct
dealers which has many quick deliveries
to make every day In the week and every
week In the year.
The speed, lightness, handlness and de
pendability of this electric make J"- I
Uverlng the goods the simplest and easi
est of all problems of merchandising,
EUhe solid or pneumatic tires may be
used on this car. There Is sufficient
battery power and motor energy to carry
the loaded wagon at a speed of 10. 13
or IS miles an hour for a distance of
from 60 to 75 miles on one charge.
The car may be equipped with either
a lead pasted battery of one of the well
known makes or with the new Edison
battery. In the latter rase the carry
ing rapacity of the car is Increased from
pounds to 10CO pounds, and Its speed
and mileage are also greatly Increased.
The finish of Model 83 In rich maroon
la unusually handsome and the general
appointments of the car are In keeping
with the high-grade service for which
It Is designed.
A larger and heavier delivery wagon
of a somewhat different tya is Model
73. shown also at this exhibit. The sub
stantial chassis, enlarged motor and
chain drive of this car suggest that It
was designed for the Increased strains
and heavier loads of a general service
delivery wagon. Many cars of this de
sign are In use In various parts of the
country. The United States Government
uses one for quartermaster stores In
the War Iepartment at Washington.
Dry goods and department stores, hard
ware and grocery dealers, furniture and
carpet storea and express companies all
find this model of Waverley delivery
wagnn suited to their varying require
m at.

following about John L. Sullivan, ex

New Tork Sun, will be ot Interest:
"Every young fellow who knocks about
the boxing clubs thinks it's a picnic to
manage a stsr fighter." said a veteran
sporting man as he chatted with several
ciiihrnen at the ringside of the National
Athletic Club the other night. "Some years
ago I thought so myself, when I was young,
and after spending a lot of money across
the bar to make myself solid with 5ohn 1
Sullivan I became his manager. Then It
was that I could see the money rolling Into
my pockets In ten and twenty thousand
stacks, but It was the warmest six months
of my life, and if I had remained SullM

have been In my grave.

Mt took me just six months, however,
to discover that the big fellow was manag

I was obliged to conform to all his habits
and ways ot living, his 'manner of eating,

At ths end of my experience I was a men

to spend a couple of months at Hot Springs
to recuperste.

on the Cuban Star team Is considered

The coaching of the Cubans in Span

WESTERGAKD COMING ATHLETE
Gotcli Says Western Heavyweight Is
One of Best Wrestlers.
NEW YORK, Jan. 21. Jess Wester-
gard. the Western heavyweight wrestler,
"So more tail - end teams." s the
edict issued to Manager Tatsy
O'Rourke. the new chieftain of the
Facramento Senators of the Pacific
Coast League, by Charley Graham, Bill
Curtln and the California Capital City
magnates. Judging by the following
livery wagon shown for the first time Labout the 111 Senators from the San
Francisco Call, the eaict is uaeiy i
be lived un to to the letter:
"There are more men under contract 1
to the Senators this year than at any
other time since the capital city has
been on the baseball map, and If the
team does not get off to a good start
It will not be the fault of Bill Curtln,
Charley Graham or the new manager,
Iatsy O'Rourke.
" -it will be a case of the survival of
the fittest." says Curtln. 'We want
to see Sacramento right up In the
running this time, and I believe that
we have the makings of a corking
good ball team with the men now In
view. However, the new manager,
Iatsy O'Rourke. Is not going to play
any favorites and the men who ahow
the class will land the jobs.'
"Pour catchers, will be tried out In
practice and the chances are that only
two of them will be held. Up to the
present time the catchers' list Includes
la Longe and Splesman of last year's
tram and Kuhn and McDonough, both
of whom made good records with the
late lamented Fresno club of the State
League.
"There are no less than 14 pitchers
on the Jlst. but not more than seven
of these will be retained. Byram,
Uaum. Whalen, I'ape, Arellanes. Fitz
gerald and Nourse of last year's line
up are all In the running again. The
chances are that most of these men
will again be seen In Sacramento uni
forms. Rumor has It that Whalen Is
looking for another berth.
"Byram. I'ape, Nourse and Baum are
looked upon as certain starters. All
of them figured with the best twirlers
of the league last season. In addition,
Zamlock. the sensational young San
Francisco high school alabster. Is In
line.
"Babe Danzig, Improved In health and
form, will be back at first base, man
ager O'Rourke. a regular second base
man, has himself slated for that posi
tion, but in case one of the other
youngsters beats him to the Job, he
will give up his post.
"Other candidates for Infield honors
are Lerschen, a Boston recruit: Shinn

Middle West performer who comes out

with a great reputation as a fast per

"Perry. Brlggs and Boardman, all

At the two New York Shows more pnuematic-tired cars were equipped with

10 Per Cent More Tire
Without Any Extra Cost
Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires are
made 10 per cent oversize. That
means 10 per cent more tire 10
per cent more carrying capacity.
It adds, on the average, 25 per
cent to the tire mileage without
adding one cent to the price.
Please note why.
ff ALL SIZES civ 1
tl OVERSIZE l-Vr$f
This picture shows how Goodyear
tires compare with other tires of equal
rated size. Goodyear tires are 10 per
cent wider than the rated size demands.
We add this 10
per cent to take
care ot the extras
which most men
add to their cars.
That means top,
glass front, gas
lamps, gas tank,
extra tire, etc. .
Without this
oversize, nine times in ten the tires are
overloadod. . Motor car makers figure
the wetsht of the car when stripped.
They figure on passengers of 150
pounds each.' When extras are added.
or passengers overweigh, the tires are
overtaxed.
The result Is a blow-out, often occur
ring when the tire is new. Then one
naturally blames the tire.
To avoid this blame, and to Insure
maximum mileage, we add 10 per cent
to the rated size without any extra
cost. That extra size, on the average,
cuts the tire bills 25 per cent. You get
No-Rim-Cut Tires

that advantage every time when yol
specify Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires. ..
Rim-Cutting Avoided
Tou get another advantage. You r
get the only practical tire which can
not be rim-cut when you run It flat. ''
We have sold half a million No-Rim- '
Cut tires. We have run them deflated,
In a hundred tests as far as 20 miles.'
In all this experience there has never
been a single instance of rim-cutting.
These No -Rim -Cut tires fit any
standard quick-detachable rim any
demountable rim. The removable rim .
flanges are simply set to curve out-,,
ward not inward as with clincher
tires. The tire then comes against a
rounded edge not the sharp edge ;J
which cuts a hooked-base tire. , .'
Xo-Rlm-Cut tires have no hooks on .
the base. They don't need to be
hooked or bolted to the rim.
The reason lies in 63 braided piano
wires vulcanized Into the base. These ;
braided wires make the tire base un-,.,
stretchable. Nothing can force the
tire off the rim un
til you remove the
flange. r..
When the tire is
Inflated these
braided wires con- '
tract. The tire is -then
held to tha
rim by a pressure ' '
of 134 pounds to '
the inch. Those braided wires which'
we control form the only practical way
to make an unstretchable tire. It gives
us the only practical hookless tire the' '
only desirable tire which can't rim-cut.
These two features together cut" :
tire bills in two. They have trc-.
bled the sales of Goodyear tires in -
one year. , Last year these tires .
cost an extra price. This year, be-'
cause of multiplied production,
they cost no more than the stand-' "
