Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott expedi-
lions were greatly hindered through
losing much of their gasoline-a loss
that, in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott. Mr..
B. T. Brooks of the Mellon Institute
ef Industrial Research thinks he
knows what caused the loss. At low
temperatures, he says, ordinary tin
tends to pulverize. At 81 degrees be-
low zero it pulverizes quickly and may
pulverize, although more slowly, at a
higher temperature. Now, hard solder
usually contains large percentage OF
tin, and so, of course, disintegrates in
the same way. Consequently the gas
oline cans are likely to leak at the
soldered seams. Mr.. Brooks suggests
that polar explorers carry their sup
plies Of gasoline in containers made
of glass, or of some metal unaffected
by extreme cold.-Youth's Companion.

KoLEHMAINEN AGAIN WINNER BASEBALL NATIONAL SPORT?
"AII-Round Fan" Declares Golf and
Tennis Must be Given Consdera-
notwithstanding Data.

with so many golf and tennis
players in this country, / cannot I'M
derstand why baseball Is referred to as
the national SPORT" states "An ALL
Round Fan"
Baseball is called the national sport
because it is a domestic game-the
only sport we have not borrowed or
adopted from some other country. It's
origin may have been the English
game of FOUNDERS, but as it is played
now it is strictly American. Attend
ances figures prove beyond doubt that
baseball is more generally popular
than either golf or tennis, but when
it comes to question of the number
Of actual participants, it is doubtful
whether baseball holds it's own.
There is no way of accurately tell
ing just how many golf and tennis
players there are in this country, but
it is estimated by those who are in a
position to venture an estimate that
there are more than 100000 of each.
There are between 300 and 400 clubs
registered in the United States Golf
Association. There are about IS clubs
in the metropolitan district alone.
This gives just a meager idea of how
many golf devotees there are. When
figuring this way it must be remem-
bered there are thousands Of golfers
who are not affiliated with clubs who
play the game on the hundreds of
public links throughout the country.
All summer resorts boast tennis
courts. Think Of the thousands of
private and club courts.
1t is estimated that about $50 900, coo
is annually expended in golf, of which
about $12,500,000 is caddies' fees.

ed and he lay for weeks with heavy
iron weights swung from his neck
and feet. He was able to travel and
practice with the team this year, but
did little pitching. Coombs is thirty
two years old.
Bender is probably the best known
of the trio of pitchers. He is only
thirty-one years old, but has pitched
for the Athletics for IL years. He
has taken part in four worlds series
and has won six and lost three of
these games. His greatest year was
in 1910 when he won % games and
lost five. He has at all times been
among the best pitchers of his league,
and only during two seasons out of
the dozen he served in the major
league did he lose more games than
he won.
Connie Mack scored Rughie Jen-
nings, manager of the Detroit Amer
lean league club, for having given out
the news at Atlantic City. Mack said
he regarded the matter an American
league secret, until he himself de-
sired to inform the public.
II have no intention of retaining
any of the three players named for
1916" said the Athletics manager.
II would not have asked waivers on
them at this time, but for the fact that
one of the three told me he had been
talking business with the Federal
league"

A sensation was sprung in baseball
circles when Connie Mack, manager
of the Athletics, announced that he
had asked for waivers on Pitchers
Bender, Plank and Coombs.
These three men were the main
stays of the Philadelphia machine
when it was at the height of its
power.
There we're unconfirmed reports
that the three famous pitchers had
been negotiating with the Federals
and that this Influenced Mack in his
decision to dispose Of them.
Bender was knocked out Of the
box in the first game of the recent
worlds series with Boston. He was
big factor in winning three world S
championships for the Athletics, and
when he was forced to leave the box
when facing the Braves it was the
first time in his career he had been
SO Inundated in a worlds series
game.
Eddie Plank will go down in base
ball history as one of the greatest
teft-handed pitchers of the game. He
is past forty years old, and for years
back reports that Plank was through
have only been followed by the vet
Gran making remarkable showing.
IN this year he was Mack's most eff
