the players bench.
Zim is a teampIay man and he
should hear from the fans on his
showing. He is worthy of all the
applause that can be poured on him.
Mike Prendergast and his red shirt
bid fair to cop the crown formerly
worn by MOrdecai Brown as an IRON
man rescuer. Tinker has selected
Mike as the official lifeline for the
North Side pitchers, and so far the
young man has gotten away with the
assignment in tOppy shape.
Picking up a game with the odds
against him does not worry Mike,
and this fOrlorn hope is the business
that really tests the nerve Of a pitch
er. To man without heart there is
no encouragement in taking hold of
a game that seems gone beyond all
repair. But it doesn't appear to wOr-
ry the red-shirted HEAVIER.
Mike went the last five innings
against the Reds yesterday and al
lowed five hits. When he picked up
the burden his mates were two runs
behind, the aliens seemed to be in
hitting mood and the Cubs had
missed enough openings to discOur-
age any one. But not Mike. He
stuck doggedly to his task, turned
back the hOstiles and in the eighth
inning poled the hit that started the
big five-run rally. It was a fine ex-
ample of nerve.
The remaining members of the
cast were heaTtened by Mikes ex-
ample and kept plugging away until
the tide finally turned in their favor.
Cy Williams was the pinch guy, trip
ling with three on when his club was
two runs behind. Tim poled four
hits, each in a pinch; Schultz banged
three in the pinches, and Safer
whacked two when they counted.
Steve Yerkes was given sixth place

luck and Steve will justify Tinker in
placing him up in the lineup.
Herzog has a good-looking ball
team and the Reds will make con-
siderable trouble during the season.
There is no great mystery in the
victory of the White SOx over New
York in the first eastern game of the
South Siders. They merely hit in
the pinches, something they haven't
done for a week, and the results
showed Pinch hits in the Cleveland
series would have given the Hose at
least an even break.
Eddie Collins twice bingIed with
men on, sending home the winning
run with a double and taking part in
the tieing rally. And Jack FOurnier's
one hit was a homer with two men
on base. McMUllin stuck in a single
that tied the score.
The White Sox combination should
be one of the best rUn-prOducers in
the business and should also be one
of the most effective obstacles in the
path of the other clubs counting
many talIies. 1t is a team, consider
ing its pitching and fielding worth,
which should not be nicked for an
average of more than three or four
runs per game. Also it is a scoring
machine which should be able to out
run this total almost every day.

Harry Henry, in charge Of the local

sential for battery health as for the
health of human being.
"This is especially true in hot sum

quicker than anything else.

In order that the pressures produced
by the pumps act I'm the same direc-
ton around water circuit 1t Is n.;sps-
sary to connect the sides of the
pumps of lower pressure to the sides
of higher pressure In regular order. II
pressure gauges be connected to the
circuit, as indicated in Figure 8, it Is
possible to determine the pressure pro-
dueed by either of the pumps or any
combination by observing the indiea-
tions of the proper gauges.
For example. the pressure produced
by the pump P1 is equal to the differ
ence in the pressure before and be-
yond the pump, which may be deterni-
ined by reading the gauges Gil and G2
and then subtracting the lower read
ing from the higher reading. The
pressure produced by the pump Pr
may, In a similar manner, be determ-
ined by taking the difference in the
readings of the gauges G2 and G3. The
pressure produced by each pump tends
to cause the water to flow through the
pump itself from the terminal of lower
pressure toward the terminal Of high
er pressure, and through the water cir
cult to which the pump Is connected
from the terminal of higher pressure
toward the one of lower pressure. All
OF the pumps will be acting in the
same direction when the pressure
gauges on, say, the right hand side OF
the different pumps all read higher
than the pressure gauges on the left
hand side, or all of the gauges on the
left hand side read higher than all of
the gauges on the right hand side.
If some of the pumps are connected
In the circuit so that the pressure they
produce is opposed to the pressure
produced by the other pumps, then
the pressure acting in the circuit will
be equal to the difference. between
the sum OF the pressures acting in one
direction and the sum of the pres
sures acting in the other direction. II
the sum of the pressures acting In one
direction is exactly equal to the suTl
of the pressures acting in the oppo-
site direction, then the pressure acting
in the circuit tending to produce a
flow of water will be equal to zero.
The direction of the pressure acting
/ in the circuit when there are pres.
sures In both directions will CORE
spond to the larger sum. For example,
If six pumps are connected in such 4
! manner that the pressure produced
by two of them is in the opposite di.
rection to the pressure porduced by the
remaining four, ii is obvious that the
pressure acting in the circuit to which
the pumps may be connected is not

duced by all six pumps, but it is equal
to the difference in the sum Of the
pressures produced by the four pumps
and the sum of the pressure pro
duced by the two pumps.
If each of the six pumps is produc-
ing a pressure of 10 pounds the pres
sure acting in the circuit may be de-
| termined as follows: The pressure
produced by the four pumps will De
equal to the pressure produced by q
