AUTOMOBILE ACCESSORIES Worn Separators
 Cause Trouble
Battery Refuses Charae-Deaier Tells
 What Can Be Expected


 When battery refuses to take
 charge it is often due to the separat
 ors being worn that the plates come together, making a short circuit" " said H. P. Benjamin, manager of the Vesta Battery Service Station. 92 Franklin Street, in a discussion re- gently regarding the uplleep of auto
 mobile batteries.
 "The wearing through of the sep arators does not necessarily mean that a new battery is needed. If the positive and negative plates are in good shape d new set of mats or sep arators may be installed.
 "In our repairing, we are licensed to use the famous Vesta lmpregnated Mats. These can be used in the re- pair of any make of battery, but only Nesta Impregnated Mats are unusual ly tough and durable and are impreg- mated with a chemical which proven IS 1 freeing. Being of wood they are DOT ous and afford a free path for the | electric current. They are only one of many reasons why Vesta batteries give long and satisfactory service. "Nesta Service Stations. not only m 1 this city, but all over the country have the good will of the motorist | because of their complete equipment | and their readiness to help the motor ist in getting the best service from his battery.
 ''Vesta batteries have several other 1 patented features which can be used ] in the repair of any battery. We are always ready to inspect or water your vantage of this service frequently 1 some slight defect may be discovered and repaired which otherwise would 1 soon destroy the battery"

PLIERS BRILLIANT PITCHING
 WAY AHEAD OF WILLIAM &

Chicago, Oct 6.-"Hod" ElIer's sen sational pitching for Cincinnati in to- out clearly in the pitching analysis. After his two-base hit had paved the way for his teams four runs in the sixth inning he took chances with the sessions he was using his best bra nd of shoots, hops and benders on every occasion.
 Of the forty-SiN strikes which FL Ter pitched. 36 came in the first five innings and half of that number were recorded in the second and third when he struck out six successive batsmen. In the third inning Leibold was the only Sox player to touch the ball and ehis best was high foul into the upper tier of the gTandstand for a strike.
 In the sixth Filler threw only five times. One of these efforts was a ball. another was fouled and fly and two easy grounders disposed of the three baIers. The big Red twirier missed the: plate eighteen times il the first three innings but in the la six stad only seven bad opes called 3his was largely due to the fact he was putting practically every Xfd across the plate and the Chicas -aen quit trying to wait hlnl out
 While Eller's work was unusual, Williams pitched fine brand of ball and made credita ble record. He had 4S strikes in eight innings and only 2S balls. a performance which was far ahead of his exhibition at Cincinnati in the second game aof the series. Vii constantly and it Has pitch of this species below his -sl1nees that Filler lOfted between Jac.lSon and Fe1sch af- ter waving weaklN&at two similar of ferings. WiiliaTs SS yielded four hits to Eller.s three. struck out three to Eiler's nine and save two bases on balls as omoared with Ellers one. Mayer, who pitched the ninth for Chi caGo, exhibited a lack of control giv- ing one pass and missing the plate twelve times out of q attempts All told. the Chicago pitchers threw 126 times. Eller got through with 94 throws

 The team hasn't shown itself to be the pennant machine that won the American League flag" Gleason said Everything has been gainst us. The players themselves were not right to- day. But that does not detract from Eller's great pitching. He beat Us with great pitching and deserved the victory.

FROM THE CONSULAR REPORTS.

An interesting discovery Of dia- monds was made in the gold coast of Africa early this spring. The stones occur in shallow quartz gravels of the AbOmo stream and adjacent ridge, near the village of Abomoso, Birrim- river. about Is miles northwest of Kibbi in the district of Akim Abuakawa, north west of Accra. The stones vary from $2.50 to B per carat for the smaller grade, s425 per carat for the medium grade and SIPS to $S per carat for the larger grade. Some of the largest are worth from ST to s19.50 per carat

HORACE A. ELLER

'Hod" Filler, who established a worlds series record by retiring the White Sox by the strike-out route in two successive innings was once thrown into the discard by the Sox and Monday he took keen pleasure
 in his revenge. Not satisfied with
 holding his former teamInates to three scattered hits he pounded out a two bagger that started the bat. ting rally in the sixth that netted the Reds four runs. His own run was enough to win the game
 Eler,~ known as shine ball" pitcher, was born at Muncie, Ind, July 5, 1894. He began playing baseball with the Champaign, nii-+ nois Club in 1913. The next spring he went to Danviile, IL. and from there to Moline, H., where he played two years. In 1916 he went to Chicago White Sox on trial, but was returned to Moline late in April. He joined the army on the Mexican border, was reinstated to baseball in September, and drafted by Cincinnati This is his third year with. she Reds, and his best, as Manday's game shows. In May he pitched a no-hit' game against the Cardinals.

phy to appear in the role of pinch hit ter, but he merely fattened E1ler's strkeout record. and in the ninth Mayer went to the mound for the SoN. His wildness was partly responsible for the final run with which the wis ltorS capped their score.
 SchaIk Sent to the Dueout. Ray Schalk, premier catcher of the American League. or any other league, according to his admirers, came for ward as the first played to be chased by an umpire during the series. It was in the sixth, when most every thing happened, that this occurred. Groh had slid to the plate. accumu- lating large holdings of base line real estate the facade of his anatomy and Schalk claimed that he touched the runner before the latter had pIow- ed his way to the plate In his excite ment he Jumped up at Umpire Rig lers protector and with his fists jolt Rigler pointed to the coop and Schalk. mumbling things that the late Noah Webster never encountered in his researches. made way for Lynn. who caught the remainder of the game for the Sox.
 Field in Good Condition.
 The field was in excellent condition despite the rain of yesterday. and 34,37s persons paid to witness the ex- hibfion- The sun shone brightly and the temperature was to the liking of players and spectators alike.
 In the first round Rath reached first on free transportation. and was sac rificed to second, but neither Groh nor RoGsh could deliver and he got no farther. In their half the SoX did a little better. Litpold. the first man up. waited for four wide ones, took sec ond on an infeld out and reached third Weaver's single which was checked but not captured by Eller- The partisan local crowd called long and loud for a run. but Jackson, des- went ou. on pop fly to Groh. and Felsch flew out to left.
 EIIer's Remarkable Record
 In the second and third the crowd was treated to the remarka ble ex- hibition in which GandiI Risberg Schalk. Williams. Liebold and Eddie Collins struck out. In the Reds half of the second Duncan and Neale fan ned and Kopf interposed a foul out to SchaIk. and in the third the Reds did but little better, going out in TO- tation on inf1eld hits. In the fourth after Daubert and Groh had flied out to Felsch. Roush was safe on Ris- bergs juggle and stole second. but Duncan left hlm there with a fly to Jackson. In the fifth kOpf singled but was forced a moment later bN Neale, who himself was caught stealing while Rariden flied out to center. In their half, with two down. Schalk sin gled, but Williams whiffed and again the Sox failed to threaten.
 And Then Came Filler.
 Nothing could have appeared less suspicious than "Hod" Eller when he came to the plate at the beginning of the sixth round debacle. As a pitcher nothing was expected of him. and among those in this frame of mind

RYE OR RYE-GRASS2

Writes an agricultural correspondent of the London Morning Post: Burns as a ploughman was naturally familiar
 with the agriculture of his country, and it is more than probable that he alluded to rye-grass and not to the cereal which is almost unknown in Scottish husbandry. Rye is probably a contraction of rye grass, whether the Lolium itaIicum or Lolium perenne largely included in temporary mixtures, and to this day is one of the popular plants in short course farming and under irrigation I can hardly suppose that the custom of sowing rye the cereal for early winter or spring feed and subsequently for grain was then known, and the Socottish peasantry had no particular love for black bread, which in the wilder north they were only too familiar with when the har- vest was gathered in snow and the frosted oats yielded a cake or bannock not very appetiZing.
