it connects with the radial hole. The
smallest drills possible should be
used; probably an 1s-in. radial hole
and a 3/16-in. lead will work out best
In the average engine. In very large
engines a slightly larger hole would
probably give better results. In a
case where the crank-pins are hollow,
the scupper placed over each end and
over the radial hole is all that will be
necessary.
The other Illustration shows a de
sign for a scupper that is well adapted
to most crank-shafts. Sketch A shows
the layout or pattern, B shows side
view, and c an end view. Sheet brass
or copper should be used. The end Of
the shaft should be smoothed slightly,
and then the scupper riveted or
brazed in place. The crank-shafts are
carefully balanced In high-speed
motors, so care should be used not to
change the balance any more than
necessary.
Before installing such system a
careful inspection should be made, to
make sure that there is room for the
scuppers at all places as the shaft re-
wolves. Great care should be exer-
cised in laying out this work, as the
crank-shaft could easily be damaged,
and in a job of this sort mistakes are
very costly, usually necessitating the
purchase of new parts. A study of
the engines interior Is essential to
every amateur motorists. E. Gibbs

There are four important factors
which must be given consideration by
the beginner in the field Of rural mo-
tor transportation. These four fac
tors are: ~ The volume Of farm
products produced along the contem-
plated route; (2) the volume Of mis-
celIaneous hauling which could be Sc
cured to supplement regular loads; CD
competition from other carriers which
would be encountered; (N the charac-
ter of the highways over which the
trucks must run. 1t may safely be
said that the features mentioned
above will ultimately determine the
success or failure Of any rural route.

climbed out of snug covers and
started the day all wrong yesterday by
visiting Shibe Park in the morning. The
only thing that resembled ball game in
the morning was the diamond. Among
the few hundred who We're disappointed
were a couple of bleary eyed news
papermen. 1t was very early in the
morning. they couldn't think of any
thing to do worth while. 50 they visited
Mr.. Mack's athletes in the dressing
room.
The boys were all enthusiastic, jubi-
liant and all that over their splendid trip
around the circuit. They had lovely
weather on their Seeing America
tour" and enjoyed every hon" of 1t ex-
cept the time spent at ball parks, when
was trihe wearisomc.
They seemed all keyed up for their
at home entertainments this month and
were gayly discussing the possibilities
of being fired when a winning ball club
arrives to labor for Mr.. Shibe. The
Atlanta players are expected within the
next two weeks.
Jing Johnson and Wally Kinney ad-
mitted it was great life on club that
has all of four pitchers. They said they
like to work because the pitching gives
them II better chance of boosting their
batting averages.
Such Etiquette!
The scribes were chatting with the
old timers when a stranger came out OF
the shower baths and then they got an
idea. They strolled nonchalantly over
to the newcomer and boldly started a
conversation. without the formality of
an introduction.
"You one of the new men?' they
asked. He replied in the arhrmative and
was qucried further.

"Nope. Never been any further south
than Washington.

"How have you been hittin' and what

"Oh. I've been with this club for

no one was the wiser. The rcSt of the
