THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1954,
ON JUNE 2 THE DERBY
The Blue Riband Of The Turf
By A RACING CORRESPONDENT
On June 2 will be held Britain's famous sporting event-the Derby. This race, instituted in 1780, takes its name from the great nobleman who initiated it. The founder had his reward in 1787; he won the event with "Sir Peter Tenzie." But it was not until Tommy Weston obliged on "Sansovino" in 1924 that Lord Derby won the race a second time.
To win the Derby has become the ambition of breeders, trainers, jockeys and owners the world over. Some of the Turf's most audacious betting coups have centred around It.
It was even "won" in 1844 by a fradulently-entered four-year-old, “Running Rein," masquerading us a three-year-old. The subterfuge was subsequently discovered and the race awarded to the horse that finished second, “Orlando.”

Hutton Must Not Be Left In Doubt
Says
BRUCE · HARRIS
Len Hutton, and no other, ought to captain England in the "Ashes" visit to Australia next winter. I make this assertion, with which I firmly belleve a great majority of English cricket lovers will ngree, because of a story widely circulated to a contrary effect last week.
This story is that D. S. Sheppard, rather than Hutton, may be given the most coveted appointment in English cricket. It is stated that strong influences are being exerted to induce Sheppard, now studying for the church, at Ridley Hall, Cam- bridge, to break into his training for two years, return to cricket for the English season now beginning and take command of the MCC party for Australia,

Ask yourself this. How much is your car worth today-how much will it be worth in 3 or 4 years' time? Will it depreciate quickly- or can you prolong its life' and value?
How your car loses value Your car is only as good as its engine. Good looks are worthless
unless accompanied by good engine performance. Engine wear is the
enemy. When your car loses 'pep' when she flags on hills-becomes 'floppy'-unresponsive-these are the warning signs. She's getting old before her time. Losing value. Money. Unfortunately engine wear is like tooth decay-you don't know it's happening until it's happened. So what can you do? You can take one simple precaution

What causes engine wear? To some extent-friction. That is, metal rubbing on metal. Now, all good oils give protection against friction-but engines still wear out. Shell experts wanted to know why -they looked for other causes. After years of patient' research, they found that most wear in engines is caused by acid action or corrosive wear. This occurs when moisture in your engine combines with combustion gases to form acids. These acids cat-yes, eat-into the metal surfaces when the engine is running cold on sbort journeys, when your car is at rest between runs, or overnight in your garage. As an engine cools, ordinary oils
