Motor Car Smart AIeeks.

Alecks pass you and jeeringly advise you to Watch my smoke!'?" asks American Motorist. Smoke observa- tions requiring olfactory as well as optical observations are not conducive of the comfort or the good temper of the observer. The only way to teach the motorized polecat that he is not needed anywhere is to see that he is made to pay in fines enough to edu- cate him to the point where he can no longer afford to be a polecat. It is helpless to try to educate him further than this, because nature has given him only the brain power of the ami nal whose stench producing attributes he seeks to initiate"

TWO YOUNG MANAGERS
 PROVE DANGEROUS MEN
Jack Barry and Lee FohI Have Been contenders For Pennant All Season Belong to New School of Man agers.

A new crop of managers is striking
 hard at the records of the old school
 in baseball. Youngsters in experience,
 they are wrecking the order of things
 by grasping the game in their hands
 and threatening to run it right into a
 personally conducted worlds series,
 before many more moons Lee Fohl
 and. Jack Barry, two American
 Leaguers, are babies as leaders of
 baseball clubs, yet this year they. have citing fashion that 1t has taken an
 awful lot of effort to convince them
 that they haven't any right to run
 away with pennant. In fact, Barry
 has proved so obstinate along these
 lines that he hasn't yet been con- vinced and has a chance to win the
 argument. Barry's case is hardly as remarkable as Fohrs, for Barry has always. been considered one of the games smartest players, and has had experience under the games most as ute and studious manager. Fohl was just a sort of helper for Joe Birming- downs in Cleveland. When he took hold of the Indians 1t was generally believed his position was only lem porary and that sooner or later. he would surrender his place to some one better known as an exponent of win ming baseball. But Lee fooled the gang. He trotted right into the race his first year out, made his team play baseball and was considered terrible obstacle last summer. This year Lee again started it, and, while few critics gave him a chance for the pennant, Lee himself believed he would have some thing to say about the dis1osition Of the annual flag, and he came mighty 1 near getting; his wish F'ohl won't l be ready to win a pannant next year with his present array of stars, but | there's no telling what he will do to i improve his team. He's a builder and | is likely to win any time he gets the right start.

greatest lesson to be learned from
 football is the ability of each man to
 size up the many various situations
 which come up in the game and not
 his thinking. Give me a team which
 thinks for itself and I will have a
 winner nine times out of ten.
 Last fall when mv eleven played
 Washington & Lee,, a much heavier
 team. itE+was this ability to think row margin victory. Our opponents
 used a new style of end attack near the close of the first period which met with tremendous success. Our ends ognfzed the way to meet it and had to content myself with waiting until the half was over before instructing the ends-a nerve-wreckfng job.
 Washington & Lee used the play once for big loss at a point so far down in the other corner of the field that I could not see what had made it fail. Shortly, I had the squad in the dressing room and immediattly be- gan explaining to the ends how to erham, really a fine end. now in the army, spoke up and said. Coach, I tried that and it worked It was Wickerham who had broken up the thinking just as much as his coach. He was of the type that makes win ming teams.
 This failure of players to think in the right way or to thing at all iG the cause of so many stars failing in coaching when they take it up. Splen- did as the eleven has been that they so much to- there is abun- dant proof each fall, when they begin their first year as coach, that they have never thought for themselves. The former player, coaching for the first time, realizes that football is a far different game from the one he played apparently so well. If he has the stuff in him he begins thinkine it all out for himself and in the end he solves the problem of the game. |
 Now that we are giving so much attention to the college boy-his edu- ration and his sports-because we find ! that the college men and the Ameri- | gan youth of like age. must solve for l his nation and the world 1t is best to | put our emphasis upon those factors | n football which best contribute to | he nations welfare In his fall sport. lis sports because it demands those | qualities which youth most prizes, let | IS seek out those points which will i pest help in the long run.
 We hear much of preparation, and | is nothing more than mastery of it. In football we can- nd now we should-put the emphasis pon those features of the game which rill best teach the student to use his wn brai nand thus master the prob ems he meets.

CT. If an inlet-valve breaks the en- zine can hardly be made to run, as air and exhaust gases are free to pass
 into the intake manifold thus diluting the mixture irregularly. Sometimes
 however, the valve opening can be temporarily closed by means of an emergency piece of metal fastened over it and the engine run on the re-. maining cylinders. The breakage of an exhaust valve does not prevent the operation of the engine on the cylind- CTS whose valves are still in sound condition. If a valve does break the broken parts should at once be remov- ed. A few motorists carry spare valve and spring as a precaution, but it-is hardly worth while to do so as valve accidents are so unusual. When valve spring breaks, the force acting to the close the valve may entirely cease or the pieces of the spring is on an inlet. the valve can sometimes be temporarily wired closed with good re- suits. and the spark plug taken out, leaving the cylinder inactive and not much of load on the other Jcylidners.

GERMANS FIGHT
HARD TO retain
new FIRST Line

What is apparently the most bitter
fighting Of the present Anglo-French
offensive is raging today along the
Wetan line, the hastily organized posi-
ton east of Arras to which the Ger
mans retired when the northern end
of the Hindenburg line was turned by
General Haig. The Germans are put
ting forth a supreme effort to hold this
vital portion OF their defenses, the
crumbling of which would expose
Douaia and Cambria and bring into
prospect another great retreat
Drive Two Strong Wedges.
The British have c.ivcn two wedges
into the German positions, forming
sharp salients in the region of the
Scarpe river and north OF the Ba-
paume-Cambrai road. The head Of the
first salient has been thrust within
four miles Of Vitry. the most import
ant point on the Wotan line. but the
tenacity and power with which the
Germans are fighting leaves the issue
for time in doubt.
The semi-open character Of the
fighting affords little opportunity for
the use of the great howitzers, these
monstrous engines of destruction be-
ing best adapted for the smashing of
permanent defenses. The battle IL be-
ing waged largely with machine guns
and field artillery and the meagre re-
ports from the fighting line indicate
heavy losses on both sides. although
the British claim that their casualties
are moderate compared with the en-
emys.
