MANY AUTO TROUBLES DUE TO
USE OF IMPROPER LUBRICANTS

and bearings get corroded and pitted.
There Is "a racer Simple test by
which Won can determine an acid treat
ed oil. and that Is by satura:ing piece
of cotton or Irvine with the oil and
winding same around piece of polish
ed shafting or metal so that II comes
in direct contact. Then expose this
metal and twinc to the sun for about
eight hours. If the metal is slightly
corroded after removing the Irvine 1t
shows that there is some free acid
still remaining in the oil
The most suitable oils for car are
those which have been filtered proper
~. which process removes tar and
large percentage of the free carbon the
oil naturally contains. and you can
readily understand that an oil that has
been distilled, pressed. then filtered
and refltered until the harmful ingre-
dents have been removed is more
thorough as well as a more expensive
process than acid treatment. In other
words. a high test oil that has been
straight filtered to obtain color cannot
be procured at low figure, nor should
q mOtOrist consider a low priced OIL
1t is poor economy. as faulty lubrica-
ton is greatly responsible for most
motor Ills.
There are many different grades of
Iubricating oils made from crude pc
troleum, each one of which has been
designed for some special purpose. a
very few Of these grades are suitable
for automobile fabrication.

The alumni and undergraduate body
Of Chicago university are looking for
ward TO the long baseball trip planned
for the Maroon nine. Some time ago
the WaSeda university of Tokyo, Japan
sent Il challenge 70 the ChicaGoans for
n series of baseball games 20 be played
in the orient. 1t has been announce
that the board of culture and athletic:
al a meeting to reconsider the PROPOSE
ton decided 70 accept the challenge
1t is further announced that the men
who will make the trip will practice
regularly during the summer months
in order to be in fit condition and wi,
attend classes so as 70 be eligible fOT
the next spring season.
The challenge calls for a series of
five games. but it is thought that when
the Maroon nine is in the land of Nip
pom other games will be arranged with
japanese universities. The departure
viii be made about Sept. II. and thc
athletes viii not return until after Jan

Great Players Indifference Said to Be
Cause of Pirates Slump.
According 70 the wise ones, Hans
Wagner. once wOrshiped by all fan
dom as its foremost idol. is dissatisfied
with his berth as member of the Pi-
rates and has created dissensions in
the ranks Of the team. The miserab BILE
showing of the champions is charged
t0-this cause. Pittsburg critics YER
sion of Wagner's Indifference is as fol-
lows:
Although Wagner draws a salary
of $4,000 year and as d player I'M
der contract is supposed to play as di-
rected by the manager of the team, it
is no secret that time and again Honus
has disobeyed instructions and has
been performing in a don't care and
istless fashion.
In a recent game with the PhiIlies
Wagner went into Fred Clarke's terri
tory and caught a ball which Clarke
had called out he would take. A pain
full collision with disastrous results
was averted only by Clarkes agility
in turning aside in the nick OF time.

fabrication 10 the minds of most
motorists means either oil or grease.
Oil is simply oil and grease is grease.
They buy some of each. feeling that
they have supplied their motors wants,
and then generally dismiss the subject
from their minds until something goes
radically wrong. and they are later
brought face to face with a large re-
pair bill. IN many instances the man
ufacturer of the car is cenSured for
using poor and faulty material. while
in reality poor fabrication Is response
Bile for the majority of such troubles.
No matter how expert one may be
it is impossible to judge the practical
bility of an oil by looking at it.
1t is safe TO say that oils made from
Pennsylvania crude are recognized as
the best lubricants. They possess a
greater amount of grease matter in
comparison to their actual weight or
gravity and are higher in fash and fire
test
LubHcating oils made from asphalt
or other crudes and then bleached by
acid to obtain q light color are ex-
tremely harmful to your motor. The
reason for this is because acid treat
ment bleaches the harmful ingredients
as well as the better ingredients. 1t Is
a quick. cheap process of making the
color light, but in doing so a certain
of the acid used remains in
the oil, and if the motor remains idle

RACES ARE CLOSE
Winners of Last Year in the
Big Leagues Seem I'm
likely to Repeat.
ATHLETICS SEEM STRONG
Connie Maclz's Team Picked by Many
to Land the GOnfalOn in the
American League.

With the major league baseball sea-
son half over it begins to look very
much as If neither winner of last year
will repeat. 1t is too early to make
any predictions, for there is ample
time for q general shifting of the posi-
tons held by the teams in the Ma
tional and American leagues before
Oct. Is, but on the form shown so far
by Detroit and Pittsburg it looks as
though some other club would fly the
banner in each league this year.
Hughey Jennings has not given up
hope of landing his fourth pennant for
Detroit, and as the Tigers have had
reputation of making a strong finish
ever since Jennings took charge OF
them this team must not be counted
out of all chances for the champion
ship. The Detroit team of 1910 does
not look like the team that has won
the pennant three times in succession.
The Tigers spurted and made up a lot
of ground lost in the first two or three
weeks of the season, but they have
fallen back again, and it will take an
unusual reversal of form to bring
them to the fore.
Detroit does not play with the dash
and spirit which characterized its
work last year and the year previous.
Jennings works just as hard and still
has all the old fire and spirit, but his
team lacks the speed on the bases, the
terrific smuggling and that spirit Of con-
fidence which made the Tigers n team
TO be feared at any stage Of the game.
no matter how far behind they were
in the score.
Unless Detroit takes q brace very
soon the team will be so far down in
the race that it will be impossible for
it to regain the lead with such teams
as the Athletics. New York and Boston
ahead of it and all going at winning
elm
Eastern Teams Seem Best.
From present indications it looks as
If there was an excellent chance of the
American league race being won by an
eastern team. The Athletics are run
ming d race that will be hard TO beat.
but New York is sticking pretty close
and the Bostonians are playing in
great form. With these three teams in
such grand shape Detroit does not look
to have a chance at present, but Jen-
nings' crew have been further back
than they are now and won out. They
still have q chance to repeat unless the
other three clubs continue their win
ming career.
