NEW YORK, May 16.-Fighting
spirit and smart baseball are respon-
sible for the fact that the Cardinals
today are holding a first division
roost in the National league and for
the equally startling appearance Of
the Cubs in the first place. In spite
of the fact that efforts Of the st.
Louis and Chicago bids for the Tener
pennant this year have been looked
on mainly as flashes of early season
form, these two clubs have come east
and are crushing what has been gen
orally rated the strongest this sec
tion has to offer.
1t was the eighth straight victory
that lifted the Cubs into the lead off
niche and it was the second consecu-
tive ten inning triumph over the
Giants that damned the McGraw
stars out of first place.
The Cardinals always have been
noted for their ability to fight the
Giants off their feet, but the Cubs,
McGraw's deadly rivals of old. are

and conquered the champion Dodgers

Stallings' Braves with overwhelming
defeats, the Cubs are due to make IL

GRAVITY OF GASOLINE

Bureau of Mines Experts Overturn Old
Established Theories.

The gravity of gasoline is not q salts

duct.
This IL one of the facts brought out by
the experts of the Bureau Of Mines IN
their extensive investigation into motor
fuels, In order to prepare gasoline stand
ard specifications that viii be adopted py
the government.
Engine tests were run by the bureau
on gasoline having a gravity of from
"a degrees down to 90 degrees. The net
results Of these tests showed a difference
In power developed of less than per cent
between gasoline OF "a degrees gravity
and gasoline Of go degrees gravity. This
Is declared by the engineers to be all the
more remarkable when 1t Is considered
that T-degree gravity gasoline is selling
as high as 81 cents a gallon, while the 80
degree gravity gasoline can be purchased
at q cents a gallon. It Is probable that
the 6o-degree gravity gasoline which can
be purchased for cents less gallon
can be used for automobiles with the
same satisfaction as the 74-degree grav-
ity gasoline. Along this line. an expert
from the bureau. in a recent discussion
spoke as follows:
"All gasoline can. under properly regu-
lated engine conditions, be made to de-
velop quantities OF power which are not
greatly different. The result was obtain
ed from experimental work in our labora-
tories in Pittsburgh and indicates that
the claim made by many refneries for

STANDARD GAUGE
ARMY TRUCK NEEDED

There are at present two gauges for
trucks in use in the United States army,
the one-and-a-half-ton trucks having a
different width from the three-ton mod
els The result has been that the wheels
Of one type destroy the road made by
the other.
This was particularly brought out in
the recent army expedition into Mexico.
The fact that the trucks had different
gauges kept the roads in bad condition,
and the cutting made by trucks and mule
wagons was such that roads were some
times rendered impossible.
II IL planned to remedy this In the spe-
cihcations planned for the new fiscal
year, beginning July 1. and to have all
trucks and mule wagons Of the same
gauge.
