BRITISH MOTORCYCLE LINK BELT 



Motorcyclists who have had the experience of shortening, 

 repunching and refitting fasteners owing to the belt slipping will 



be interested in the Lee 

 Ellis link belt. It is 

 claimed that once ad- 

 justed to the V-shaped 

 pulleys which it fits, there 

 is no stretching; that no 

 fasteners or punchers are 

 required, and that the 

 grip, flexibility and trans- 

 mission of power are 

 perfect. The belt is made 

 in 54-'nch, %-inch, 1- 

 inch and IJ^-inch sizes. 

 The illustration shows 

 the links joined up as in 

 the belt, a single steel 

 link and a section of link 

 rubber-covered belt 

 showing the protruding 

 ends of the links. When fitting, the T-shaped end is hooked onto 

 the hook end and when removing, it is simply unhooked. — The 

 Midland Rubber Co., Limited, Ryland street, Birmingham, 

 England.

TO MEET THE NEW GOLF REQUIREMENTS 



In these days of regulating everything, from moving pictures to 

 the accessories of sports, the United States Golf .Association 

 has not been idle. Consequently, he who would spend his happy 

 week-ends "driving little white pellets over the grass" must see 

 to it that the pellets weigh no more than 1.62 ounces avoirdupois 

 and are not less than 1.62 inches in diameter. The newest golf 

 balls are shown here. 



The "Black Diamond," with recessed marking, is a hard wound 

 ball, and meets in size and weight the requirements of the new 

 ruling. This ball is made for the hard hitter, who desires ex- 

 treme distance. Its cover is said to be particularly durable and 

 its flight approximately perfect. — The Worthington Ball Co., 

 Elyria, Ohio. 



The "U. S. Royal 30-X" weighs just under 30 dwt., which is 

 approximately the equivalent of 1.62 avoirdupois ounces. It is 

 distinguished particularly by the fact that its cover is unusually 

 tough and not easily cut. This cover is made in what is known as 

 the six-pole recessed marking. Expert golf players pronounce 

 this ball to be long-driving, controllable on approach shots, and 

 practically perfect m putting qualities. — United States Rubber Co., 

 1790 Broadway, New York, N. Y. 



Another new ball of the long-flying, non-floater type is the 

 "Colonel 1.62," in dimpled and meshed marking, made in the same

size as the "Colonel 31.' The "Colonel 30," a dimpled ball fea- 

 tured by the same manufacturer, is said to be about equal in 

 popularity, while the "Colonel 27," a floater, in both meshed and 

 dimpled marking, is larger and has great distance. — St. Mungo 



"FT-EXYDE" BODY BELTS FOR EVERYBODY 



"Flexyde," a rubberized fabric, is used as a substitute for leather 

 or elastic webbing in the making of belts which hold their shape, 

 will not fray, curl, crack or discolor and are pliable. These 

 belts can be washed with 

 soap and water without 

 the slightest injury, this 

 sanitary feature enhanc- 

 ing their value. Marathon 

 "Flexyde" belts are made Marathon Washable "1-lexvde" Belt 



in two styles, those having the characteristics of fine calf skin, in 

 black, cordovan, gray and white ; and those which have the walrus 

 grain, in black and natural finish. Belts are made for men, 

 women, boys and girls. — The Marathon Tire & Rubber Co., Cuya-

 reduce and maintain light weight. Alfred Johnson, said to 

 be the world's greatest post rider, has devised a rubber suit 

 to aid in weight reduction. It is of very thin rubber, in two 

 pieces, the coat lacing all the way down the front, and the 

 pants, slipping over the coat, lace up the front. The suit 

 is tied at the ankles and the wrists. This suit induces per- 

 spiration when the wearer is exercising strenuously, and 

 proves a great aid to the reduction of weight. 



MUNRO GOLF BALL CLEANEJ^S 



The Munro and Junior Munro golf-ball cleaners are composed 

 of two cups set in an aluminum holder. One cup contains a 

 rubber sponge, the other a corrugated rubber mat, supported by 

 an aluminum cup. The wet sponge is rubbed on the golf ball,

then the ball is cleaned by a few turns upon the rubber mat, 

 and lastly the ball is rinsed. The rubber mat can be removed 

 and cleaned without difficulty. Each part can be renewed. This 

 is a very small and handy cleaner whose simplicity makes it
