ENORMOUS WASTE IS SHOWN
Estimated That s15o,o0o,000 Can Be
Saved Annually in Tire eills-
Could Be Prevented.

Last year the motorists Of the Unit
ed States took from their wheels and
replaced some 100000 tires which
had apparently run their course, rep
rcscnting an original expenditure OF
about $3OO,OOO,OOO, according to a
statement just issued by the National
Automobile chamber of commerce.
The cry of the car owners who dis
carded this great multitude Of tires is
for better tires, less tire trouble, few
er tire changes, longer tire life, lower
cost per mile. Yet through the appli-
cation Of the simplest methods of tire
conservation, at the command Of every
motOrist, it is estimated that fully
one-half of this enormous mortality in
tires and loss in money might have
been prevented. Thousands Of these
tires were replaced because they had
passed away before their time.
If $15OOOO,OOO of the nations tire
bill could be saved annually five mag
nificent highways could be built across
the continent each year and the ma
ton so honeycombed with motor roads
as to put every nook and corner Of it
in direct touch with the big centers of
population. Another Panama canal
could be built in three years, the ma
tional debt lifted in seven years, or a
fleet of 10 first class battleships built
for our navy each year. >

Magnetic Transmission Pre-.
ferred to Old Mechanism.
Magnet TO CONTROL Speed
Just As Necessary That New Form Be
Learned as It Was Gear-and. Clutch

p-t FrictionIess.

Drivers Of motor cars are still un-
decided as to whether the new mag
netic transmission is preferable to
the old gear mechanism. In an article
in the Illustrated World (Chicago),
Walter Lee asserts that when there is
any trouble it is because the driver
has not taken the pains to learn how
to manage the new form Of transmits
sion. This requires to be learned just
as the gear-and-clutch transmission
had to be learned. s... z~
The magnetic transmission is fric-
tiOnless and nOiseless even when
changing gears. Mr.. Lee describes it
as follows: 5
'The best way of describing the
magnetic transmission is to begin with
what we all understandable little
horseshoe magnet, and a piece of
steel. The magnet Is mounted on a
stand so that it will turn freely, and
a crank handle Is attached to the
curved end with which to revolve it.
The piece of steel is mounted on an
other stand, so it will be supported be-
tween the two ends of the magnet,
without, however, touching it at any
point.
When Magnet 10 Revolved.
'Then, when the magnet is revolved
by means of the crank handle it is
seen that the piece Of steel will turn

caught, either before it touched the
ground or on the first bound the bats,
man was out. However, no strike wa;
called on the first ball pitched, unless
the striker struck at and missed it.
The rule adopted in November, 1870,
which gave the striker the privilege
OF calling for a high one or a low one,
was put into effect the following sea-
son, which was the first year of the
National association, the fOrerunncr
of the National league. A high ball
was defined as between shoulder and
waist, and low one was between
waist and knee. If the batter got what
was ordered from the pitcher, and
didn't strike at it. Il strike was called
on him anyway. If the striker didn't
express preference, strike was
called on him if the ball was "fair,"
which meant between the shoulder and
the knee.
After 1876 the batter had to call
for either a high low or fair ball. This
practice, which now seems so absurd.
was not abolished until 1887. Imagine
Ty Cobb being privileged to call for
the sort of ball he wanted!

NORTHERN LEAGUE
SUNG SWAN SONG
ON THE FOURTH
Cold Weather, War and Poor At.
tendance Made Organized
Ball Losing Proposition

Fargo, N. d., July G.-Northern
league baseball for the season of 1917
was brought to a close "Wednesday
with Min0t playing two games at Far
go-Moorhead and Winnipeg playing
two games at Warren.
The decision to bring the season to
an abrupt close with the Fourth of
July games was reached at league
meeting held in Fargo Tuesday morn
ing Charles Mol, owner of the Win
nipeg club, did not attend the meet
ing, but sent word that Winnipeg
would wind up it's schedule with We'd
nesday's games. Fargo-M oorhead, rep
resented by Secretary William Brett
enbach, also was ready to quit.
Minot was the only team in the
league ready to stick the season out.
Warren also would have finished the
season had the other teams been will
ing to continue These two latter clubs
will maintain their teams for, indie
pendent baseball. !.
Conditions arising out of the, war
and unfavorable weather made it
necessary to bring the season to a
close argo-Moorhead's club, although
one Of the cheapest and one of the
best teams that has ever represented
the twin cities in organized baseball,
has been losing proposition since
the season opened. Winnipeg, which
is one Of the best baseball towns in
the northwest, has also been losing
money on account of cold weather.
Minot has broke about even and
Warren has lost little money.

rangement Of wire, called field, sub
stituted for the magnet, and another
arrangement Of wire called an arma-
ture substituted for the piece Of steel,
we can apply more readily the idea to
the automobile. At. ....-&
~ 'The engine revolves> the field, and
the field, becoming magnet on ac-
count Of the revolution, thea revolves
the armature, which is connected rig
idly to- the drive-shaft of the car.
Thus we have the direct drive, or
high = A cylindrical controller then
is put in, with its operating handle in
convenient location. BY means of
this controller the magnetic energy
generated in the field can be cut so
that it will have no effect on the arm
allure at all, which gives NEUTRAL
intermediate Speeds.
1T is, of course, necessary to pro-
vide for intermediate speeds, and this
is done by changing the relation be-
tween the field and the armature, so
that when it is so desired the field
may be revoived at greater rate Of
speed than the armature. The means
by which this change In relation Is
accomplished through the electric con-
troller is quite simple to anyone who
understands an electric circuit, as it Is
nothing more nor less than cutting
out of more or less resistance in the
field.
"When it is desired to run in the
high or direct speed there is no diff
ference in speed at all between arm
allure and field. When running in the
lower speeds there is difference, just
so much as is provided for by the posi-
ton of the controller lever. Thus it
is seen that all the effects of clutch
and gears are gained without the use
of them"
When the field and the armature are
moving at different speeds a certain
amount of electric energy is gener-
ate.l. "A special apparatus collects this
and supplies it as electric auxiliary
power for running the car. The trans
mission is also an effective engine
starter. And the reverse potential set
up by the revolution Of the rear
wheels when the controller lever is in
the neutral position and the car travel
ing at any speed above the minimum
acts as most efficient brake.

Many Of the old rules governing
baseball now seem very freakish to
the fans, but the one which seems
strangest of all, perhaps. was that
which gave the "knUcker' or "sticker"
the privilege Of demanding Of the
pitcher high or low ball. 1t was

years ago. November 80, 1870, that
this RUE was adopted.

the pellet where he pleased, but the
knocker didn't have to take smash
at it until he was good and ready.
Strikes were not recorded against him
unless he hit at a ball and missed.
That was pie for the batsman, but
tough on the Woodworking pitcher and
the sweltering spectators. In the
games Of 1870 the pitcher was re-
quired to put the ball over "fairly for
the striker" and if the latter let gooG
ones go by strikes were called on

The major league annals for the
past II years show that the greatest
number Of no-hit games pitched in any
one season was in 1908 when there
were four in the American and two in
the National league. In 1900, 1905 and
1916 four such feats were recorded.
With virtually four months of sched.

though the 1917 corps of twirlers had
an unusual opportunity to establish
new figures in this direction since
three more no-hit games will surpass
the total made in 1908.

Care should be exercised when
Tightening any part Of Car that is

such as the cylinders. 1t is well to
tighten only one nut at time, giving
each one a turn or two until they are
