The project was undertaken at the
insistence of automobile drivers, who
declare that the gasoline being fur
nished them is in some cases impure
and in others of such quality that it
will not evaporate, often causing car
buretor troubles, sometimes getting
into the cylinders, to accumulate car
bon, and in some cases even passing
through the exhaust in misty condi-
ton, incorporated and unexploded.
The examinations and preparation of
the data may take two weeks, but
the state chemist expects by the end of
that time to be able to tell Idaho au-
tomobile drivers what is wrong with
the gasoline sold in the state.

on matters of disciplining base ball

Quizzes Umpires.
Johnson said he did not suspend
Mays Immediately upon learning of
his alleged insubordination, because
he was waiting to see what the
Boston club would do in the mat
ter. He said that he suspended the
player after he read a newspaper
account of his sale to the New York
club. He also defended his right to
employ umpires in getting facts
concerning discipline on the field,
and said he was within his rights in
requesting Umpire Hildebrand to
question Boston ball players and
ascertain all the facts in regard to
Mays leaving the field in the game
played in Chicago on July Is.

decision, but said his answer would

PLEST|NA wins,
FROM SORENSON
IN QUICK Time
Finds Weakness of Ex-Soldier
and Takes Advantage of
it, Securing Crucial
Hold.
BY KID GRAVES.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. ll.-(Special
Telegram.) - Main Plestina de-
feated Chris Sorenson in two
straight falls at the City auditorium
here tonight in surprisingly quick
time before 1000 mat fans.
Each fall was gained with chan
Gerry and bar arm hold the first in
rs minutes, so seconds, and the sec
ond in six minutes flat.
Short as it was, the match was Bit
terly contested all the way. The
greatest surprise in the affair was
that despite Plestina's reputation,
Sorenson took the aggressive at the
call of time. He ran the big fellow
around the ring, trying for holds
all the time the men were on their
feet.
Plestina Waited.
While the ex-soldier was forcing
matters Plestina played a waiting
game. He forced Sorenson to the
mat with a head lock the first time,
and stayed behind all the time until
the fall was won. He didn't appear
to have great variety of holds and
resorted to rough work to force an
opening, for which he was scored
by the fans.
The finish of the first bout came
suddenly. Plestina succeeding in get
ting Sorenson's crippled right arm
in position for a hammerlock, and
the former soldier twisting to avoid
it, turned into a chancery, the victor
holding the captured arm for a bar
arm hold.
The men rested IS minutes and
came back for the second bout, Sor-
enson again the aggressor. In racing
for leg hold he went forward so
far that Plestina easily clamped
reversed body hold on and forced
Chris to the mat.
Finds Weakness.
The big man had learned of Sor-
enson's weakness in the first bout
and in the same way secured the
same hold and won the second fall
and the match.
The referee was Ernie Holmes of
Omaha, who officiated; Cy Sher-
man, sports editor of the Lincoln
Star, was timekeeper and announcer.
A match for Omaha is in the
making, as Gus Kewans, the Greek
champion, was present and chal-
lenged the winner after the match
Kewans issued a public challenge to
Plestina. Jack Lewis, the Omaha
promoter, was here and may land
the match.
One preliminary was staged, 80
minute draw between Adam Krieger
of Lincoln and Orville Miller of
Havelock. Sheriff Charley Peters
of Sarpy county, once conqueror of
Plestina, was here to see the match,
in company with Jack Lewis.
