Pe FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1922. 4 : r= + 8 h i ALBERT L.CLOUGH. ~ Double Clutching MANY MOTORISTS, who can change from a lower to a higher gear with the utmost "slickness," have trouble in making the change frow third to second speed, when this is required in severe bill climbing, be ing unable to mesh the second speed gears without severe clashing or- without letting the car lose too much speed. In most cases this diM. culty can be removed If the operator Will practice the operation ol double clutching, whiéh is nothing more than a "trick" for bringing the two second speed gears to the same speed before meshing then amd is \ as follows: . Assume the car is on third speed, throw out the clutch, shift into neutral, re-engage the clutch, speed the engine somewhat by a touch on .the accelerator, throw out the clutch, throw the lever inte second speed and let In the clutch. This sounds combligated, but it can be done in a "jiffy" and almost instinctively after a Ifttle practice. If the engine and the cluteh shaft gears are speeded up by the right amount, (which experience will soon indicate) the change can be made almost instantly and without a sound or appreciable loss of car speed. Double-clutching is equally applicable in making a quick and silent change from second to first speed, without letting, the car come to rest, the only difference being that in making this change the engine must be speeded considerably faster.

DAINTY CAFE The place where dining out is truly a delight about it. mission is in this country and even in its own state. - When the French ring salons took Battling Siki's titles away from him] and suspended him for nine months from all activities in the ring, it was perhaps accepted as official in France --because the French wanted it that way. Getting down to common sense, it must be a mew day when a ring champion can be legislated out from under his crown, It has never been done before and if this case becomes an established precedent there is no telling where it will end. It is not to be denied that ° Siki should have been disciplined for striking the manager of another box- er in the ring, but the French should | have started the "training" of what they now call a savage as soon as he beat Carpentier. Instead of hailing him as a hero grand and allowing him all kinds of 'liberties, the French people should have discouraged him from Seeking a place on their level if they did fig- ure that he was not fit company for | them. Giving him ninety days suspension] was fit punishment for the offense but the attempt to take his titles away from him is silly. As Jack McAuliffe. says--'"The only way to get a title is to smack someone on the chin and the only way to lose one"is to get smacked." Officially, Johhny Wilson and [Johnny Kilbane are not world's champions by the ruling of the New York boxing commission. Officially Siki is not the world's light heavy- weight champion and the European heavyweight champion. But ask anyone in the street who are the champions in those classes. French people always go to ex- tremes: They were not content when they got Siki down and they are trying to koep him down. When he appeared on Armistice Day 'in the uniform of the Algerian Rifles, an outfit with which he ser- ved for four years, he was arrested.
