The more cylinders we have the
less hy-wheel is needed. so that fly
wheels on eight and 12-cylinder en-
gines are smaller than those on
four and six cylinder engines. On
engines of one TO four cylinders
there are dead periods when no
power is being developed. The fly
wheel carries the crankshaft over
these places. Engines with more
cylinders have no such periods as
the power strokes develop. The

thing serious? Please give me the
remedy If there is one?
This is known as spark knock
and is the result of advancing the
spark too far. The gas is exploded
before dead center and the explo-
sion pressing downward meets the
piston coming up. This makes a
knock. 1t does not occur on a level
road because the engine is running
faster and has time TO pass over
dead center But the car slows
down on a hill and this causes the
knock. The rule for spark ad-
vance is 20 keep the point where a
knock occurs.

With Ball Season Here Underway, Fans Now Pull
 For Grimes To Succeed
Bridgeport Confident Young Player Manager Will De- liver the Goods-0ther News of the Spring Dia- mond.

WIITH the baseball season here off, " cially opened today with the cus- tomary parade through the principal streets of the down town section of the city, the band concet and the ini- tia1 contest itself between the Ray Grimes-manag ged Bridgeport Ameri- cans and Big Chief Meyers New Ha- ven contingent at Newfield Park, the attention of fans here today centered about the prospects foa winning club in this city. While it is bit too early to make any prediction, the fact re- mains that the locals start the season with the virtually the same team that opened here a year ago when Paul Kricher was in command.
 But what the other teanIs on the O'NeiI circuit have in store is proble- nautical, for the game in this section has undergone a general overhauling. From every city today came state ments of optimistic views for a sue cessful season from managers of the other seven combinations All are as confident as the local pilot. In fact, the Bridgeport chief is not as de- termined in his optimism as those in other cities. And this is as it should be. There Is no reason for balyhoo until one understands just what he has on hand. The best looking teams during the training season have prov ed fivvers in the official playing sea son.
 Manager Grimes Is satisfied
 with the way his team showed up
 in the workouts at the ball park,
 but he does not dare say what 1t
 will do this season. However, he
 looks forward and is planning to
 give Bridgeport a winning ball
 club That is the ambition of
 every manager; in fact, that is
 what they are being paid for.
 However, there is no reason why
 Bridgeport should not be repre-
 sented by a strong aggregation.
 It Is not a. strange one and has
 had more outdoor training than
 any other club in the league, ex-
 cepting Eayrs' Providence team
 which has been working for the
 past three weeks.
 Big Chief Meyers and his New Ha- ven aggregation arrived this forenoon from New Haven in automobiles. With them came a. large number of New Haven rooters, sporting writers and officials of that city. The New Haveners will be in town until to- morrow night when they return home, where the season will be opened also with the Bridgeport club in the op- position.

The unpopular 21 player limit yesterday was abolished by the National League in a special ses- sion held at league headquarters, in New York, when the parent league voted to revert to the old limit of 25 men, which was in vogue in the National League up to the season of 1913. The new limit will go into effect on May 15. At the time that John Heyd- Ter, president of the National League, announced that the Ma tionaI League would return to a 25 player limit, he said that the American League would adopt similar legislation in the imme- diate future.
