REGARDED a. Good Move.


Both the Richmond mana cement and
Steve Griffin. OF Danville, stated yes
terday that Grim's intention Of taking
the Portsmouth club and franchise TO
petersburg was the best possible move
that could be made. The Petersburg
rams. who have expressed opinions In
regard to- the matter. are most enthu-s
siastic over the prospect, There Is no
doubt expressed that Grim will find
smooth sailing financially when he
places his proposition before a meeting
or Petersburg CAPITALISTS. and 1t is
expected that Petersburg will have
baseball before the week ends
As the matter now stands there is q
chance of Petersburg's winning the
apennant, and Grim has announced his
intention OF making the effort of his
life to put the club higher. Ports
mouth is at the bottom now, but tine
season Is not half over and IL the club
hits winning streak the chance is
there.
Grim stated Sunday that he had
three youngsters on the way to
strengthen his team, and that he wouIa
make improvements right along. The
team already has a rather strong lisr,
and II properly handled and broken in
1t will develop into one of the strong ;
est OF the League.
1t is proposed to have the Peters

matter is settled. and there will be

When d car comes in from a run
the engine is very free and can be
started easily, but after standing for
three or four days some difficulty will
be experienced In cranking because the
oil has thickened around the rings and
the engine is so stiff that the shaft
cannot be turned fast enough to get a
good suction from the carburetor
Kerosene is the best oil to loosen
piston rings, and a little injected into
each cylinder at the time the engine is
stopped from run will greatly assist
in starting the next time, Jhether II
is a day or week from t. time the
car was last used.
The kerosene should be injected into
the engine while it is running, and the
only way to do this is to introduce the
oil where the suction of the engine
will take 1t into the cylinders. The
best place to have the oil enter the
suction pipe is at some point near
the engine, and for this purpose much
the most convenient way is to fit
small pet cock with a cup attached TO
the manifold, through which the liquid
can be introduced into the cylinders

LUBRICATING AUTO ENGINE

CINE one-half teacupful will be suf-
f1cient. When the proper amount of
oil has been supplied the pet cock
should be closed and the throttle
opened and the engine run at top

sene is cleared out of the cylinders.
This will be evident because the car
Will smoke violently for 4 brief period
after the throttle is opened and the
speed increased. When the smoke has
disappeared one can consider the
cylinders cleared.

Jeff and johnson May Count Money

The moving pictures of the heavy
weight fight are moving over a rocky
road. There are number of things to
detract from their value. First and
foremost is the fact that Johnson won.
Second is the fact that Johnson stall
ed, allowing Jeffries TO stay until the
fifteenth round. Third. the pictures
have received a bad impression
through the fact that a number of
cities have already barred them.
However. the fate of the pictures
need not worry the fighters. Jeffries
is in California and Johnson is in the

age ST. Louis Browns.
Jesse @. Burkett, the greatest base
ball general that the New England
league ever had, in that he has won
four successive pennants for Worces-
ter, is going to quit as a minor league
baseball manager. Burkett made this
very plain in an Interview recently.
For several weeks there has been an
inside story going the rounds of the
New England league landing Burkett
with a berth in the major leagues as
a manager as the result of his phe-
nomenal work in Worcester
When asked If he is considering an
offer to manage either the Cincinnati
Nationals or the St. Louis Americans
Burkett said, Wont be in Worces-
ter"
This is taken as an excellent hint by
Burkett's closest friends that the for
mer major Lacquer will succeed Jack
O'Connor as manager of the ST Louis
Browns.
Burkett signed with Worcester in
1905 after purchasing his own release
from the Boston Red Sox, to which
club he was traded for Outflelder Stone
and a cash consideration. Entering
the New England league, Burkett rap
idly pushed himself forward as a great
baseball general. One of the first play
ers developed by Burkett was Harry
Lord, the Red Sox's third baseman and
captain. Burkett has developed host
of other players who are now doing
brilliant work in the majors.

wILTSE, GIANTS LEFT HANDLER, WHO Is IN
GOOD FORM
just now, but this applies particularly
to the men who lead the American
league teams.
The southpaws in the American and
National leagues are having a good
year with the bOXmen of the Ban John
son organization, having slightly the
best of it. Whether it is because the
American leaguers have more puzzling
curves or whether the National bats
men are better against left handlers is
a question for argument.
AT any rate, the recent sensational
sale by Manager Jack Dunn of the
Baltimore club Of Lefty Russell to
Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics for $4,000 after spirited bid
ding, in which Manager McGraw of
the Giants and Fred Clarke of the
Pirates took part, shows the market
value of promising southpaws.
Would Have Kept Burns.
The American league magnates are
being panned for allowing Southpaw

quently asked: Why did Comiskey re-
lease Pitcher Bill Burns? Why did the
other American league clubs waive
claim to a pitcher who has since been
very successful for Cincinnati?
The reason given is that, while
Burns is a good pitcher, he is said to
believe himself a privileged character.
He has wealthy parents and doesn't
have to work for a living. For that
reason he couldn't see any use in tax.
ing part in morning practice. AS
COmiskey is a great believer in disci-
pline, he could not allow Burns to
shake the morning sessions. AS a re-
suit he let him go to Cincinnati.

Tie outieid is Tot the speediest mag
Unable But the garden trio makes up
in hitting ability whatever may be
lacking in the ground covering line.
At that, Topsy Hnrtsel, Rube Oldring
and Danny Murphy are masters at
playing for batters. and all are pretty
shifty on the base paths.
But on top Of all this Connie Mack
has the greatest STAFF OF pitchers in
either league today. Eddie Plank is
one OF the greatest southpaws In the
game. Chief Bender, at present in
disposed, is this year the equal of any
other right handler in the league, while
Cy Morgan and Jack Coombs have
shown remarkable ability so far. To
Coombs falls the honor OF rounding
our this formidable array Of box ma
tesial.
None Punished Severely.
None Of Macs's pitchers has been
punished very severely this season. IL
might have been different but for the
phenomenal support afforded them.
Little Eddie Collins is the pivot OF
the inner works. He is the Johnny
Evers of the American league. The
best fielding second baseman, Collins.
is one Of the greatest hitters in fast
company. Last season he ran Ty Cobb
a great race for batting and base run
ming honors.
Scarcely less phenomenal and me
teoric has been the career OF Third
Baseman Baker. AS a fielder this Eel
low stands out as prominently at his
position as does Collins at second base.
Baker is a heavy hitter and finished
base runner, though in both these de-
partments somewhat inferior TO Col
Inns. This young gentleman stands a
monument TO the managerial ability
Of Connie Mack. In ttle spring Of last
year he appeared thp biggest frost that
ever donned spangies. Yet before the
end of the season Mack had converted
him into the sensation Of the year.
Harry Davis. first baseman OF the
leaders. is one Of the best known and
most highly respected figures In base
ball He IS a veteran OF the old
school. a man who has been in the
game almost as long AZ any in1elder
now before the public. Davis is OF
that type which is fast disappearing
before modern ethics.

Brooklyn's new out6eIder, Dalton.
has all the earmarks of a great ball

Third Baseman Purten of the Chi
cagO Americans doesn't get much puff
ing or break into display type often,
but he is about as efficient a third
baseman as there is in fast company.
Kid Elberfeld of the Washington
Americans has the reputation of be-
ing out of the game with injuries more
than any other player, and it is no
wonder that such is the case, for
where is there a player who takes
more chances?

POINTERS ON CARE OF TIRES

Below are some valuable rules on
the care of tires which If followed
would lessen tire expenses, the cry of
motor car owners.
Keep your tires well inflated. Your
tires should stand round under the
load The larger the tire the better.
Thereby you will obtain more service,
be bothered with fewer punctures, and
blowouts, especially in a good tire, will
be rare.
Cuts of any considerable size and
punctures should be vulcanized so as
to keep dampness or dirt from the fab
ric. as same is liable to rot and cause
blowouts.
Occasionally test the valve stem Of
your inner tube. as your tire may run
partially fat for some distance. caus-
ing an injury to the fabric.
Keep your tires away from heat. OIL
or any greasy substance, as they cause
the rubber to deteriorate.
Pay attention TO your wheels and
axles and see that your tires are not
forced to run untrue. as this is very
harmful.
Have a good place to carry any ex-
ira inner tubes so as to keep them
clear of any oil or greases. Do not
keep them IN your tool box.
II your car is equipped with four
wheels of like size il is good plan to
change the tires around occasionally
that is. If one side of tire is much
worn. turn II around
1t your tires are apparently in good
shape don't be afraid to pump them up
hard, as they will not burst
Don't throw your brake on hard with
your machine going at even moderate

WALTER JOHNSON NEVER
PLAYED IN A MINOR
LEAGUE.

The average baseball pitcher
has at least two or three years
Of minor league experience be-
fore he attempts to make good
in a major league. This is be-
cause his natural ability Is not
sufficient to win games for him
when with the big fellows, and
he must learn the strategy of
the game, so that be can rely
on it to help him QUE.
Walter johnson OF the Wash
ington Americans is the one ex-
cept1on to this rule. He never
played In a minor league and in
fact never went through the
primer grade Of baseball. He
jumped right into fast company
and, unlike any other unseason-
ed youngster, made good right
from the jump. This more than
anything else proves his won
derful ability.
