Quintin Romero is the type who rts himself on the day of his 'first match. He is noted for excep- tional qualities of strength, besides the fighting spirit commén to the puglists of the other side of the Andes. He has tested these qualities, conquering a name in only three years of ring. In Chili he = went quickly to the top, knocking all his opponents with definite hits of punch, His punch is the kind that puts the fight to a sudden end. Eleure, noted French pugilist, whom he had to fight before he mcountered Niles, has left tne ring entirely on account of the jeating that Romero Rojas gave aim.

Detroit was playing in Boston and the visitors' bench adjoined the bleacher section, permitting rare op- portunity for the fans tq razz oppos- ing players, The score was' close, with Boston slightly in the lead, and Ty was getting an earful between innings, due to his inability to get going. Most of the stuff handed him was unprintable and a mighty effort was being made to get his goat. About the fifth inning, as I recall it, Ty came up at the head of the batting order and was immedi- ately assailed by a verbal] barrage of unusual venom. My seat was in a| box right back of the bench and 1 could clearly see the glint that came into Cobb's eyes as he picked up his | bat, turned and thumbed his nose to- |' ward the bleachers and declared in vitriolic terms that was going to show up the entire Boston team (ad- jectives deleted).

Without your knowing it, we could use cheaper tubing for the frames instead of our high-grade, English Seamless Tubing, reinforced at the joints. . We could use a ¢heaper hanger instead of the three-piece Triplex that makes the C.C.M. turn so smooth- ly and easily. wi We could use cheaper bearings in- stead of our Flint-hard Steel bearings that a file cannot cut. We needn't? clean our frames so thoroughly, nor treat them with a coat of anti-rust before enameling. We needn't put on so many coats of our rich, lustrous special C.C.M. enamel, nor leave the frames in the enameling ovens so long . We needn't take so much care jin clean- ing our handle bars, crank hanger, hubs and other parts before they're nickeled. We take off every speck of dirt and grease, 80 as to have a thoroughly clean surface. Next we coat the parts with copper to prevent rust. Then, the C.C.M. parts are left in the nickel baths for about two hours, instead of the twenty-minute or so dip given cheaply nickeled parts. Wouldn't you rather pay a little extra for C.C.M. rust-proof nickeling, than to get a bicycle that, before long, shows little marks of red rust peeping through the nickelfmg® We could save expense not making all of the 1,761 parts of C.C.M.
