you adjust the carburetor to elimi- nate this roll you can not obtain the proper mixture at higher engine speeds. Oftentimes by changing the sr ecitications of the carburetor bet i, ter results will be obtained at all engine speeds.
 Would suggest that you take this 1 matter up with the dealer for the carburetor in your locality.
 Motoring Department, the Herald I have a car that heats--I have had the radiator cleaned as good as could and it still heats Spark is all right, oiling system seems to be all right, but | have not done anything with the water jackets of the engine. Are the water jackets liable to clog by using hard water? If so, what would you advise to use to clean water jacket and radiator or what would you ad- wise ?-L. w..
 A. If hard water is used in the cool ing system a scale will form in the water jackets and in time cause over heating. Solid caustic soda dissolved in water is often used to break up this scale, which then can be flushed out. About twelve and one-half pounds of soda dissolved in five gall Ions of water will make a solution sufficiently strong to answer the pur- pose. This solution should be all lowed to stand for several hours, after which it should be drawn off and the whole system thoroughly flushed out. Considerable heat is generated when the soda is dissolved and the solution must be allowed to cool before using. It must be borne in mind also that caustic soda will affect aluminium and should the water pump be made of aluminium, connections should be made so as to avoid the mixture reach ing the pump. This may be easily effected by connecting a separate piece of hose from the cylinder manifold to the base of the radiator.

YALE LOOKS STRONG
 TO DEFEAT HARVARD,
Prospects for Success in Dual
 ke5t Never Br:gh'er.

years since Yale has had such clever aggregation of athletics asSthose to measure strides and jumps with Harvard in the annual dual meet at the Stadium, Saturday. And not only ere the Ellis almost certain to win the more points in their clash with the wearers of the Crimson, but should have very much to say about the win ming of the intercollegiate champion ships, May 29 and 30. University of Pennsylvania and Cornell will be the Biue's greatest rivals three Weeks hence.
 With five places counting in the title games for the first time, it will require careful study on the part. of those coaches whose teams have chance to win the championship: what events they select to place their men. 1t was pointed out by the writer a week ago that Yale had a remarkable team, and one which if we'll handled would be real contender for scoring the greatest number of points, which means so much to both Cornell and Pennsylvania in the intercollegiate meet. victory for either the Ithacans or the QuaSers will decide the permanent ownership of the inter-. collegiate trophy. Both have won the championship four times so that a win for Yale will necessitate the tr ophy remaining in competition'f for another year at least
 The Elis' greatest strength is in the field events, they having by far the best balanced contingent of field ath- lctes that has represented any one col lege in recent years. It is this galaxy of stars that will bring the downfall of Harvard on Saturday, for with three men able to clear six feet in the high jump, two men who can Vault we'll over twelve feet, three who have tossed the shot over 43 feet and two husky hammer-throwers one with the best record for the year, Harvard's chances for picking up many points in the field department are decidedly slim.

There is no four cylinder type motor in use firing in the order of 1-234.
 
 Motoring Department, The Herald What make of motorcycle holds the worlds record for speed? What time was it made in, and by what rider? -C. M
 A. We presume you mean the five mile board track record. This record is held by Lee Humiston, who made the distance in three minutes and six and four-fifth seconds. He made this record with an Excelsior motorcycle at Los Angeles, Cal, December 30. 1912.
 Motoring Department, The Herald How much oil should be put in the crank case at a time?
 A. Most engines have a pet cock on the side of the crank case, which determines the oil level. If not this, there should be a sight gauge or oil level indicator Not knowing the type of motor you have, it is impos- sible to tell definitely the amount of oil necessary except to state that there must be sufficient oil in the crank case to allow the connecting rods to dip in a bath of oil and splash the oil in and about the various bear ings. including the cylinder walls. Motoring Department, The Herald I have 1914 car with a Continental motor, which has been driven less than 2,50O miles, and everything is o. K. excepting that the oil in the crank case gets very hot, so much SC 1 that smoke comes through what I call the breathing pipe, although I drive l the car with spark we'll advanced l Would you please inform me of the 1 cause of this and a remedy? I have 1 also changed the oil and washed out l the crank case, and yet this happens 1 after the machine has been driven ten or fifteen miles.
 1 Thanking you in advance.-I. G. s.
New Britain herald., 1914-05-12

A. The fact that some smoke issues from the breather pipe is not serious. Perhaps this is not smoke. It may be vapOr due to the heat and splash ing of the oil. If it is smoke, then 1t is possible that one of the pistons is leaking slightly. If all the cylinders have good compression, and the motor has plenty of power, there is no cause for alarm. The fact that you have driven the car 250O miles without trouble clearly indicates that the mat ter is of small importance.
 Motoring Department, The Herald Could you give me the reason for the following trouble through your columns? I have an Armac mo- torcycle which heats up after riding bout four or five miles. The valves and spark are timed properly, and there is no carbon in the cylinder. or on the piston, to speak of. Could it be poor regulation of the carburetor? :? It has a Heitger carburetor, the kind the factory puts on them. Awaiting your answer, I remain, H. D. F. R.
 A An over-rich mixture will cause the motor to overheat Would sug- gest that you reduce the amount of gasoline used to a minimum. That is tc say, use as little gasoline as pos sible and as much air as possible. You may easily determine this by the action of the motor. If too lean a mixture is used the motor will back fire. You may easily eliminate the back firing by enriching the mixture gradually. ...e. ,'..
 Motoring Department, The Herald Have a six-cylinder car-run about 12,OOO miles. When the motor is idling it rolls considerably, often stall ing. am told that it would be at the expense of power to have this roll out. l would greatly appreciate your kind ness if you would enlighten me on this matter. Yours thankfully, A. H.
 A. The roll or gallop in the motor is due to poor carburetion at slow engine speeds. The symptoms indi- cate too rich a mixture. If by mak- ing the mixture lean for slow engine speeds you do not obtain the proper results under other conditions it may be necessary to install a few new parts. Perhaps by using a smaller spray nozzle the annoyance may be eliminated. The roll you speak of, due to the mixture, will not affect the power of the motor except that if

Motoring Department, The Herald Would you kindly inform me through your columns the best shock ab- sorber for Model T. Ford runabout?- c. H. B.
 A. The Connecticut shock absorber has been recommended and is con- siderably used. A set of three will cost you $15 installed.
 Motoring Department, The Herald Is it necessary to remove the hub caps on semi floating type axle to lubricate wheel bearing ?-H. L.
 A. In semi-floating type axle the axle bearings are fabricated from the differential side. The hub caps are used simply to finish off the wheel and serve as an ornament. They also serve to protect the axle shaft end nut. It is not necessary to remove them for lubricating purposes.
 Motoring Department, The Herald Will you please tell me can a motor fire 1-2-3-4 without changing the crank shaft or the cams on the cam shaft, and if so, how?-AL. E. B.
 A. With the crank shaft you have there are two possible orders of fir ing, namely, 1-342 and 1-2-4-3.

Hartford Defeats New Haven.

Hartford, May 12.-Hartford threw the hooks into Jerry Councils hired hands within the Clarkin stadium yesterday, and at the same time leaped into first place in the Eastern association standing. Eight to six was the Senator's margin of success fol- lowing one of the weirdest exhibitions of baseball that has come to the at- tention of local fans in years. Costly errors, poor base running and weak twirling were crowded into the mat inee performance. Hartford was bad enough-but New Haven was worse. Boots by Sherwood, Miller and Me- Cormack, paved the way for a half- dozen tallies. The score:
 r. h. 6. Hartford .. 1OOO34O0*-8 13 New Haven .... O1300002O-6 6 Batteries-Goodwin, Reiger, Salmon and Holland; Smith, Thomas, Barr and Angermeir.

Giants Batter Braves.


 New York, May 12.-The Giants batters provided a four run lead twice for Fromme at the Polo grounds yesterday. The New York pitcher didn't stand prosperity any too welt, but the free and earnest hitting of the Giants tided him over and the Bostons were beaten by score of g. to G. With men on bases, Fromme swayed and nearly toppled.s His first four run lead was cut down to noth- ing and his second of those dimen- sions was pruned down to two, but with the help of Marquard, whom the Braves couldn't touch in the ninth. the tail epdmen weren't all lowed to carry their nefarious oper- ations any further.

The Cardinals rallied in the ninth and got the two tying runs off Law ender, who had relieved Pierce. In the latter innings each team got rum ners to third frequently.
 Lee Magee, trying to steal in the l eleventh, was tagged ous by Sweeney iwith what he considered unnecessary force. A fist fight followed in which Magee was knocked down.
