xmCKUT 1 JSTEN ATI, 8 ND A JUL'i iTC if the appetites of newspaper readers. Each one serves the other. AUTO ROW PICK-UPS FORMER CHAMP VISITS CAMP Native Sons of Alabama in Baseball nSSffijm '14 claimed that 10 hours of flying will club tried Luke Sewell, who proved to be a gem of the first water. Now the Washington Club is going strong for the boys who were born and reared in the far South state. The management of the Senators picked Emlle Barnes, M.

C. Hayes and Grant GUlls, all native sons of or" Alabam' and It looks as if these boys are going to come through as have the first of the boys from that state. Heinle Manush of the St Louis Browns, Bon Paschal of the Yanks, Fresco (Dcnman) Thompson of the rhlllles and Dick Coffman of the Browns are all wrapped In the uniforms of the regulars of their respective clubs and ranking with the best. Othor boys hailing from Alabama and claiming that state as the place of their birth are vlrgll Davis, owned by the Cards, Jack Levy of' the Giants, Forrell of the Cleveland Club and a good prospect even though he is strictly left-handed. Sam Byrd of Knaly, Is also on the roster of the Yanks.

In all thore are 15 of Alabama's native sons In the big leagues at present. "I believe the airplane and the automobile will follow similar lines of development. "I believe that for every airplane that goes in fhe air at least two automobiles will go on the ground. "The owner of an airplane will need an automobile to take, him from his home to the airport. He will need another car to take him from the landing field downtown to his destination.

Meanwhile his wife and family will need a car at home while his is parked at the airport awaiting his leturn. Every flight will call Into use at loast' two or three cars. "There will be no competition between the airplane and the automobile, because the airplane can serve only a restricted field of transportation. It is essentially a rapid medium of long distance travol. It does not have the flexibility or the all-round utility of the automobile.

"The motor car takes the business man to work in the morning. It carries the professional man, who has many stops to make, on his route over town. It takes the wife downtown shopping, the family to visit friends, or on week-end or vacation trips. It does this without regard to distance or conditions of the weather. "There is this further Interesting distinction between the airplane and the automobile.

The motor car In its evolution was first regarded as a fad and a luxury. It was recognized as an economic necessity only after it had gained wide popularity as an Instrument of pleasure. "The airplane, on the other hand, has been an instrument of business from the start. It la serving now mainly In aerial photography. In transporting mall, motion pictures and other quick freight, and is providing rapid passage between distant points.

Its utility is limited to this highly restricted field which in no sense encroaches on the automobile." HAS SPECIAL MUFFLER. The Auburn Model 115 is equipped with a sclontlflcly designed exhaust by-pass which permits the gas to pass directly through the muffler, reducing back pressure from five and one half pounds to one and, one half pounds. This increases the power of the car at high speeds. There are no less than 118 players In the major leagues who are listed as being born Southerners, which means only those born south of the Mason and Dixon line. Alabama has made the most pronunced 'gain' in sending out native sons.

Twenty years ago there were no players of big league reputation, who claimed Alabama as the state of his nativity. In 11103, a certain Charles (Gabby) Street was given a trial by the Terre Haute club of the Central League. He made so good that Cincinnati gave him a trial in 1904, so poBslbly it was Street who made the big leagues uhead of any native son of Alabama so far Is Is known. "Gabby" was with the Washington club during tho days that Walter Johnson was at the zenith of his speed and he was one of the few catchers who suited "Big Train" as a buttery partner. Following tho guy Street were Thomas A.

Long, and Guy Morton, who enme Into tho big show about 1912. Tommy Long began his career with the Washington club in 19.12. then on to St. Louis Drowns whore ho stuck several seasons. Guy Morton and' that boy is still hurling high-grade ball for tho Memphis club of the Southern Assoclatoln, came Into prominence during 1913 and 1914j by fanning an average of 10 men a game during his minor league experience.

This sensational hurling opened tl)o doors of major leiiguedom and ho was signed by the Clevoland club. Fur 11 years Guy Morton was regarded as one of the star hurlers of that organisation and one of the best 111 the came. In only one year did he fall below the .500 mark in victories. Perhaps It was G. Morton who put the Cleveland management wine to lilggs Stephenson, Joe and I.uko Howell, for tho Cleveland management begun to pick 'em from the University of Alnboma about tho time that Guy was tho hurling see of the club.

The picking was so good that after Joe Sowell made good Rlggs 8tthonson made Just as good so the I Gzm Tunney Johnny- Dundle International The above photo shows Johnny champion, wishing Gene Tunney, coming- bout with Tom Heeney, New Zealand challenger. Newsreal Fhoto.J Dundee, left, former featherweight heavyweight boss, good luck in his leader declared In an Interview here today. "There will be no more competition between the airplane and the automobile than there Is between the newspaper and the radio," Mr. Kllngler stated. "When the radio first began broadcasting news dispatches, there was talk of It supplanting the newspaper.

Today the newspaper prints radio news, and the news items broadcast by the radio rather whet to both industries as well as by lay men interested in the transportation methods the future may evolve. Is an era of keen competition ahead 7 Will the airplane relegate the automobile to a place beside the horse and buggy? Decidedly no, in the opinion of H. J. Kllngler, general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company. The two industries, will rather follow parallel lines of development, with each one aiding the other, the Chevrolet sales CONTINUED PROM PAGE a.

ENGINE PERFORMANCE. Although smart and distinctive body designs and elegance of Interiors have marked strides in the past two years, especially in the quality car field, car buyers In this classification today still demand a general all-round performance thoroughly in keeping with the quality tone which such cars impart, according to H. J. Leonard, President of the Stearns-Knight Sales Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio. "This means," Mr.

Leonard explains, "that the buyer in the quality car classification pays marked attention to engine performance as well as to general style and distinctive design of body and Interiors. "The aim is to build for the future and not alone for today, since It Is a known fact that buyers of cars that sell In the higher price field expect long and continued outstanding performance in their motors as well as comfort and lasting style In general design of the car throughout. "Because of a limitation of patent rights for use of the Knight sleeve-valve engine the Steams-Knight organization occupies a conspicuous position in the automobile industry of America, since it is one of the three companies holding the rights to employ this type of power plant in pleasure cars. "This same limitation was Imposed In Europe until three years ago, and when the patent rights expired more than a score of companies turned to the sleeve-valve engine as their stand ard power plant. It is only reasonable to assume that when the American patent rights expire the same situation will hold true In this country.

"With this type of engine used in the Stearns-Knight sixes and eights" owners of these cars have every right to expect years of uninterrupted serv ice, far and ahove the period of use derived from motor cars employing other types of power plants." EXPORT SALES INCREASE Sales of American made automobiles abroad have increased by 425 per cent during the last five years, and a further important gain Is taking place this year. As a result of this large expansion foreign buying of motor cars ranks third in the list of the couu-try's exports, according to President R. Nutt, of the Union Trust Company, Cleveland. "Expanding markets abroad offer the most favorable solution for the full employment of the country'B growing automotive productive capacity," says Mr. Nutt in the bank's magazine, Trade Winds.

"Whether or not the saturation point is near in this country, there Is a vast potential demand for cars among oher peoples. The world outside of i the United States is rapidly becoming motor-minded. "In the United States there Is one car for every five people, or virtually one car for each family. The tverage for the world as a whole Is 59 per sons for every car. At the extreme of the scale Is China with one car for every 20,001 inhabitants.

Next to tlv; United States is Canada with 10 persons per car. Australia is a third with It persons per car, and the United Kingdom is fourth with 37 per sons per car. In France there are 40 persons for each car, while Germany has only one car for every 148 persons. "Obstacles In the path of motorcar exports include tariff barriers abroad, high gasoline prices and taxes in foreign countries, poor roads, competition of native manufacturers and reduced purchasing power of potential producers. Tariff barriers are directed especially against assembled cars, with the result that in 1928 probably over 200,000 cars made of American parts will be assembled in plants abroad.

"So far the automobile industry in no European country. has developed to the point where it Is an extremely active competitor with American quantity produced popular makes. The rate of growth of motor-car exports is seen in the fact that five years ago exports totalled 78,000 units, while in 1928 it Is estimated that 450.000 cars and trucks will be shipped abroad. "At the present capacity of the automobile industry an output of ap proximately 4,000,000 cars annually is needed for reasonable prosperity Replacement demand is about cars annually in the United States and Canada. New buying this year is running at the rate of over 1,000,000 cars, so that the estimated exports of 450,000 will bring the total demand up to or above 4,000,000 cars.

"With European conditions making marked progress toward financial stabilization and industrial recovery, present prospects are for continued large expansion of exports of American automobiles." AIRPLANE AND THE MoVoR CAR What effect airplane development will have on the automobile has fre quently been discussed by those close make a pilot, and "it remains only to ba said that this is not true." Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh is quoted in the bulletin as declaring that "ten hours of flying will not make anyone a pilot and $100 will not buy a good course in training." Colonel Lindbergh asserts that the man or woman should be prepared to spend at least $500 for the training, and points out that great many serious aviation accidents occur because of pilots who are turned out by cheap schools without sufficient experience to meet emergencies. The Guggenheim Fund is emphatic in the statement that applicants for advanced courses in aviation should have at least a high school education to absorb the mathematical problems presented in meteorology and aerodynamics. In the long run a thorough training will eliminate the disappointments involved in inadequate instruction, and perhaps lead the pilot to brilliant and capable performances which alone make aviation a safe and recognized means of travel. Thomas E.

Halpin, Vice President and general manager of the Metal Aircraft Corporation of Cincinnati, is spending a month at Greely, his boyhood home, recuperating from the injuries sustained In an airplane crash. Mr. Halpin left Dearborn, where he spent several weeks with his parents, to go to Colorado, and will remain there until about September 1, returning to Cincinnati to take active charge of the building of the all-metal monoplanes In the new Lunken Airport Factory soon to be built. A 600 h. p.

all-metal monoplane for use in transcontinental air mall routes is under construction at the plant of the Columbia Air Liners, the company of which Charles A. Levlne, transatlantic flyer. Is President. While no details have been re leased, it is known that this plane embodies the newest innovations In design, and it Is estimated that It will have a high speed of 170 miles an hour with a pay load of more than 10,000 pounds. According to Mr.

Levlne, nothing to be said about this plane until 't has passed its initial test. The increase In the volume of busl ness of the Embry-Riddle Flylnff Company has necessitated the engaging of three additional pilots, who for the time being will Instruct students at Lunken Airport. The new members of the Embry-RIddle staff, which now totals eight, follow: Charles H. Sheild, Louisville, George Hill, Ashland, and Samuel H. Sharp, New York.

Graduation exercises of the Embry-Rlddle Flying Company will be held at Lunken Airport Sunday, July 20, at 8 p. it was announced yesterday by Charles E. Blanck, Bales manager. Ten primary students and six advance students will receive their respective diplomas. Fifteen airplanes from other cities broke their hop at Lunken Airport during the Past week, according to the report of the operations officer, Stanley Huffman, of Embry-Riddle Flying Company.

Most of the planes were headed south. The student training received impetus with good flying weather and three students were soloed during the week. They are: Lawrence Schmld-lapp, Grandin road; George Thau-bald, Sheehan avenue, and 'William' Fowler, Cincinnati. Roy E. Osborne, Covington, and Emil Cosley, Troy, Ohio, were the new students admitted during the weekv "Dixie" Davis, who has his ships on the Union Levee Field, is a busy man-bird.

Davis, In -addition to instructing students in aviation, finds time to leave town now and then to deliver planes from Wichita to Michigan and from Moline, 111., to Montreal. He also is testing planes being produced by the International Aircraft Corporation at Ancor. This afternoon Davis will do a number of stunts over the Beech-mont Levee Field. Hugh Watson, President of Watson Airport, is back in Cincinnati from a trip to Detroit, where he went to inspect the metal ships he will add th Blue Ash Field fleet for pas senger, mail and express carriers. By Louis D.

HE quickest road to superficial knowledge ia never the surest, and least of all Is tt desirable In an enter prise such as aviation, where the "ks'of inadequate ability are vory at and the consequences may 1 ve fatal." his statement is contained in the latest bulletin Issued by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics, which points out that the growing confidence of the public in aviation would be funda- meniauy undermined ana tne cause ci aviation wouia De seriously injurea if the country should witness a series Of Iteeldentji and fntnllflpa nn the iart of new recruits in aviation. Stimulated by the recent spectacu lar achievements 'In aviation and by the personality leading aviat ors In this and other countries, the Public interest in flying has very ytf tly increased with the result that ti Ainds of young men are anxious to fly and wish to be trained as pilots in the shortest possible time, A number of flying schoolB have been established to meet this demand, of fering a few hours' instruction In flight for a comparatively small sum of money. Structural failure and Inexperience natural factors in a new industry were often the causes of accidents In aviation before the war. Mechanical failures today are rare in normal flying with the best modern equipment.

Such accidents as take place in military, experimental or tunt flying cannot be laid at the door of commercial aviation, and, although reckless flying is the cause of many accidents, this is no more a danger in aviation than the reckless driving of an automobile is a danger in motoring. that the first essential in modern aviation is adequate training for those who are responsible for the guidance of the machine.
