STORIES

'Baby Doll'' jacobson is hitting .264
for Fielder Jones.
Although catching good ball, Oscar
Stanage is hitting only .205.
Pittsburgh scribes have revived the
report that the Cubs are after Max
Carey.
It is thought Ed Plank's quitting
will not injure the Browns pennant
chances.
Jim Corbett picks Ray Schalk as the
greatest allround backstop. Anybody
could do that.
Detroit has but two 800 hitters at
the present time. They are Cobb,
1884, and Veach, .312.
Mike Regain of the Reds is not much
of strike-out pitcher, but he manages
to win just the same.
Johnny Kilbane umpired ball game
in Cleveland. Johnny evidently doesn't
care what happens to him.

The acquisition of Evers hasn't
helped the Phillies, who seem to be
hopelessly out of the pennant race.
With the exception of Alexander,
the Phillies' pitching staff has been
shot to pieces and Pat Moran is up a
tree.
Connie Mack is easy to please. He
says it will satisfy him to see his
Athletics top the Browns and Sena-
tors.
Wagner must still consider himself
in the promising class, for he says he
wants to again lead his league in bat
ting.
Barney Dreyfuss is out to land two
ball players and has made offers for
both. He wants an infielder and a
cleanup hitter.
Pitchers Benton and Perritt of the
Giants have wagered $50 suit or
clothes on their respective batting
averages this year.
=
Hans Wagner has made lot OF
noise with the stick since his return
to the game. The veteran lost little
time in establishing himself among the
300 hitters.
The Pirates may not climb out OF
the cellar, but they'll provide Pitts
burgh fans with many interesting
games. Bezdek has made considerable
progress with the material in hand.
Heretofore the National league list
has shown more heavy stickers than
has the American league list, but OF
late more American than National
leaguers have hit for 300 or better.
With the Phillies, the Cardinals and
the Reds continually bobbing up ana
then falling back in the National
league race, there doesn't seem to be
chance for the Giants to be ousted
from the lead.
Washington is the only major league
club which has two brothers playing
side by side in the outfield. Clyde and
Horace Milan are the brothers. Inc
Brooklyn club also has two brothers
on its roster, Zach and Mack Wheat.
The Cincinnati club surely picked
up good ball player when Billy Kopf,
discarded by Connie Mack, was pur-
chased from Baltimore. Kopf is
classy fielder and hitter who is no
stranger in the column where doubles,
trinleS and homo Rms are marked.

WHAT CRACKED THE
 OLD LIBERTY BELL,
Chicago JournaD

Metals just Ike people, are subject [" the wearing effects of time And they also have diseases that destroy thelr vitality. A combination of both IS responsible for the great crack in the famous Liberty bell which re- tentiy has shown tendency to spread.
 The bell was made in England by one Thomas A. Lester and shipped to Philadelphia in 1752. When tested with hammer it cracked at the first stroke. The metal was rccast and 1g per cent of copper added. This addi- tion did not have good effects. seern- ing to spoil the bells tone So it yas remedied a second time and lin rui Tn with the copper to restore the sound
 Although details are somewhat hay it is certain that facilities in tn, colonies for handling such a quantity Of metal were not very good. The bell weighs aoout 1000 pounds. and it
 eSfinated that twenty to twenty five of the largest crucibles then in America were required for tlie pur- pose,
 At all events the bell was finally cast q third time and accepted. Put ii did not cool evenly and was i'm medlately subjected to shrinl.aga strains. These strains had about the same effect as if a piece of cloth were gripped in a persons two hands and down the middle. This pressure ul- timate'y caused the big crack which is such familiar characteristic of the bell, and which now promises to aecCme even larger.
 Another point against the bell was the triple meltings Metal loses some thing of it's vitality every time that it goes through the crucitle Nothing that undergoes the making over" process is quite as good as before. and tie Liserty bell had b-en made and remade three times before it led forth tho n7n~ra'"o of freedo'ra

TO REMOVE CARBON DEPOSITS
bes, and Most Efficient Method Is to
Scrape the Cylinder.

Carbon deposits in the internal COM
bustlon engine are like the measles
N children-inevitabie. The sub
stance Is the residuum from the burn
ing OF gasoline and oil. In the be-
ginning the carbon deposits are in
the form of dust, but as oil comes
INTO contact with the carbon and en-
ters the mass it becomes a cake.
PROBABLY the commonest carbon
trouble is from deposits in the cyl
lnder. These deposits into the COM
oustion chamber. They become in
candescent with the heat of the ex-
piosion and retain their white heat
long enough to fire the next incom-
ing charge. This results in Just the
same metallic knock that comes from
advancing the spark lever too far.
when the combination of lack of
power, overheating and knocking oc-
ours the-car owner may be certain
that he has a case of carbinization
on his hands. :,
There are a number of methods of
removing the carbon. There is the
time-honored trick of introducing
Kerosene into the cylinder in the hope
tnat-it will act as a solvent of the
OIL holding the carbon. This NAV
serve in mild case, but will be use-
less against a solid cake of carbon.
me one universally efficient meth
od Is by scraping. II your engine
mas a detachable head you can do
the scraping without dififficulty. The
prime requisite is to remember iust
now TO put the parts together again
after you have finished.
