CHAUFFEUR HELD
TO ACCOUNT FOR
ALL UNDUE DELAYS
Owners Who Understand
Car Hold Drivers to
a Strick Account.

When riding in powerful automobile
few persons appreciate the harmony Of
the infinite number Of parts. Here Is
involved the skill of the chauffeur In
affording 10 the owner real service.
To the casual observer II seems an
easy matter to handle the powerful car,
but upon the operator rests the added
responsibility OF maintaining mechan-
ieRl efficiency. The day In past when
the owner accepts any old excuse when
his car Is stalled. Owners Of automo..
the automobile as the driver and are
therefore placed in a position to Judge
properly unnecessary delays.
These delays, without doubt, are often
caused by unreliable ignition: IN. m.
trouble, except in cases of foul or dirty
gasolene. To overcome a delay of this
source one needs only to drain off the
carburetor or clean out the pipe line
without necessarily changing the car
buretor adjustment. II II should be
found necessary to remove the needle
valve or any other part a careful note
az to Its proper replacement should be
made.
0iling "Fool Proof"
With the modern lubricating system
trouble seldom arises. AS proper en-
gine fabrication is a most vital feature
Of construction, manufacturers have
uebikHto tbtS do ioOi pIOoi no Possi-
BILE. The only need is to keep the oil
tank properly filled and to observe the
proper flow through the gauges. The
ignition system, however. is source
Of trouble In many ways. Few oper-
ators understand It sufficiently. When
trouble in this mechanism Of the auto
mobile occurs II must be traced. and to
do so quickly one must have an inti-
mate knowledge of its workings.
The trouble may arise from one Of a
number of sources. Assuming, as an
instance, the use OF a high tension
magnetic, one should first test for weak
compression, then for foul spark plugs
When all wiring Is intact this Is usually
the source of trouble.
However, should the cylinder com
preston be found good and the plugs
in repair and clean, the next in order
Is an inspection of the magnetic itself
Assuming all wires free from leakages
and the primary connections tight, tbi
| trouble will invariably be found in the
| timber or circuit breaker. This may bt
| foul with Oil and dirt, or the platinum
| points may be found corroded, thus pre-
| venting q clean making and breakine
| of the primary circuit. When this par
| Is cleaned and the points are properly
adjusted the engine will probably run.

MOTOR PURCHASED

Seven Commuters Have
Joint Interest In Car

Some people have so long associated
the automobile with lavish upkeep ex-

Pathfinding With An
Electric Causes Comment

"Audacious" was the mildest word
used at the recent meeting Of the con-
test board Of the American Automobile
Association when the application of the
Flanders Manufacturing Company to
lay out the 1919 Glidden route from De-
troit to New Orleans with a Flanders
electric was received.
Some of the committee did not even
stop at calling the application audaci-
Gus. They thought 1t was a. poor at
tempt at a joke on the committee.
When II became evident, however, that
the Flanders company were In dead
earnest. and not only that, but were
willing to contest every inch of the
way with all other applicants, the dis
cussion became serious.
That II the Flanders electric were
successful in covering the road from
Detroit to New Orleans: which hereto.
fore had been considered inadvisable, II
not almost impossible, to high power
gasolene cars, It would indicate that the
10l2 Glidden would. in contrast with
former ones, be more nearly n pleasure
trip than an ordeal to participants. The
car is now making good progress on Its
way to New Orleans.

the play was first introduced in 1906. At that time it will be remembered that several teams, notably the Car ltsle In aians, attained great skill in for ward D ISses, many of which were near ly hall the length of the field. So sl1ilfully did the Indians execute this play that there was practically no de- fense for 1t. Indeed, many of the big teams suffered humiliating defeat at the hands of the Indians using this play
 It was immediately seen that the de- fense could not be developed suffi- ciently to protect a team against this play and enable it to develop a de- fense for straight football. As a re- suit the play was restricted in various ways until it was made illegal to exc cute a forward pass of more than 20 yards in length. In addition to a re- turn to old and long passes football men have perhaps a greater room for development with the extra down which has been given in which to make 10 yards. The best informed men were convinced last year that the addi- tion of this extra down was all that the game needed to restore 1t to it's popularity, and at the same time to keep down the danger of injuries. There is no question that the rushing game under the new rules will afford greater possibilities than the practically unrestricted forward pass. The first l games of the season, therefore. are practically sure to be featured by line plunging with variations in the shape of end runs and the forward pass. The big teams. in particular, are likely to reVel in the opportunity to once more make use of the line plunging game.

TWELVE INNING TIE.
chicaao American and National League Clubs Fight to Standstill.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-With the score tied, 8 to 8, the second game of the series between the Chicago American and National league clubs was called today in the twelfth inning because of darkness. The game was the second tie in the series, the opening contest Tuesday ending without score.
 Lord and Weaver collided at full speed in center field in the eighth in ming, when each was trying for Mil ler's hit. They were knocked uncon- scious and both had to be carried from the field. Lord quickly recover ed. but Weaver was in a dazed con dition for several hours. He probably will be out of the game for several days.
 Johnson, a recruit, who took Weav- CTS place at short, enabled the White Sox to tie up the game in the ninth inning, after the Cubs had taken the lead in the eighth. With Borton on first. Johnson tripled, scoring him. Easterly followed with triple, his fourth hit of the game. and brought Johnson home with the tieing run.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. n.-Another worlds record was broken at the trot- ting meeting here tonight, when Uhlan, 158, and Lewis Forrest, 2.06 1-4, own ed by c. K G. Billings. were sent out to lower the record for a pair of trot- ters to a pole. The original record stood at POT 3-4 until the pair of fam ous trotters made the mile in 2.03 IA, thus clipping off four and one-half sec onds.
 The horses. were sent away on the second scoring, and 1t was evident all most from the first quarter that the record would be shattered. Not a break was made during the trial, both horses working like machines.

This event was won after four heats by Anna Axme, by Ask Me Not This game little Ally went to the post a heavily backed fav- orite, but put her packers on the un- easy list when she broke soon after the start in the first heat and finished fourth. However, she came back strong and captured the next three heats in easy style. The first heat went to Ed Locanda.

TEST OF FORWARD PASS.
Success of Open Play Depends Upon
 This Seasons Results.

Football coaches this season have given practically little or no inkling of what their attitude is toward the for ward pass. Last year the play was a flat failure, and the rules committee were confronted with the necessity of either abolishing the play altogether or removing most of the restrictions from it. Without doubt the total elimina- tion of the play would have been high ly satisfactory to the football world
 but on account of other changes d fraction of the committee insisted up-
 on a compromise. For this reason the forward pass was retained. but the % yeards' restriction was removed, sc that the forward pass if properly eX- ecuted is legal, ITO matter how fast il
 sails.
 It is quite certain that the develop ?ment of the game will be along two distinct lines this year, with the chances that there will be more gen eral condemnation of the forward pass
 ait the end of the season than ever be- l fore. The retention of the play means | that those teams which use it will de- | velop the extraordinarily long forward passes such as featured the game when

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
AMERICAN STOCKS
Enormous Sales in Foreign Markets
 Because of Balkan News.

New York, Oct. 1.-The foreign sit uation loomed larger on the financial horizon today. Overnight news was largely of an alarming tenor, and these advices were followed by enor- nous sales of American stocks in Lon- don, Paris and Berlin. The German and French capitals were centers of demoralization and London, as usual, had to bear the brunt of their heavy | outpourings. Sales here for European | account were estimated at 100, 1000 shares, but there is authority for say ing that the total liquidation was | much in excess of those figures. as many large blocks of stocks were talk | en over by American bankers in direct | purchase. Apropos of this phase of the situation, it is obvious that ans 1 further selling of our securities by the foreigners must seriously affect our credits abroad. even though a pro- longed conflict in the Balkans should cause extra heavy exports of our foodstuffs.

Union Pacific was weakest of the leaders. but the Hill issues, Changers. U. s.
