Similarly, an engine filter choked with dirt can cost another ?6 in the course of a year; defective piston rings - ?5; faulty thermostat-?3; and incorrect ignition setting...
...index slips that ran to 30 feet. Nobody can argue with his facts. What does seem regrettable is that he sometimes slights American achievements. Consider "Sport" in 1938: "Len Hutton scores 364 runs against Australia at the Oval Test Match (Aug.)." It would have only been cricket to add a separate-but-equal note reading: "Gabby Hartnett hits home run in the last of the ninth to give Chicago Cubs chance to win National League pennant (Sept...
