The Idaho recorder., 1921-11-11

The report mentioned above, the latest
volume of which is effective December
29, 1920 bulletin No. s., constitutes
the basis of all tests of petroleum prod
ucts to be bought for any and all de-
partments Of the u. S. Government.
The opinion of a prominent
authority ON the subject
Most writer's on the subjects of petro-
leum production, gasoline refining and
testing, point out the fallacy Of using
the hydrometer to determine the quail
ity or purity of liquids.
In "The Petroleum Handbook" by
Mr.. Stephen o. Andres, A. B., B. Sc, E.
M, there is the following reference
made to the gravity test in the chapter
on Gasoline Specifcations:
Specific gravity is in itself Of very
little significance in determining the
properties of gasoline. Gravity may
serve as an index of other properties
particularly volatility, only when
knoWledge IS at nallQ regarding the
source and method of production of
sample of gasoline"
At best, the gravity "test" is simply a
rule-of-thumb method supposed by
many to indicate something that gaso-
line manufacturers and authorities are
well aware it does not indicate, that is
quality.
For this reason, the Continental Oil
Company does not sell Conoco Gaso-
line on basis of gravity. 1t is sold on
basis of its boiling points, the real test
of gasoline volatility, power and mile
age. On this basis it more than meets
the new Navy specifications of the
us. Government.
The Idaho recorder., 1921-11-11

Ever since gasoline has been used scale pleasure
and commercial vehicles popular tests been
used for gauging its quality The Of them is the
gravity test made by of instrument called hydromee
This the specific gravity of the gasoline degrees Baune
accurate measurement of its weight.
The Idaho recorder., 1921-11-11

The familiar gravity jar and hydrometer
are all that is necessary to find the
gravity" of liquid. In this way the
weight of the liquid can be computed
with great accuracy. But as an indica-
tion of gasoline quality, gravity" Is
unreliable.

Tolbert is putting the shot, and his

the other players are taking part in
spring sports.
Head Coach Fisher, in civilian attire,
was in charge of practice. His assist

for the last several years; Jimmie
Knox, who scouts the Crimson's prin-
cipal opponents as we'll as looking after
the second team, and Winslow FELTON,,
quarterback in 1919.
The hours practice was preceded by
a short talk, and was given entirely to
conditioning stunts.

Diminutive Sharpshooter
Destined to Give Pros
Hard Run at Pinehurst
By Ray Mccarthy

PlNEHuRST, N. c., March 28.-The
annual North and South open cham
plonship tournament here promises to
be the greatest event of the prelmi-
nary golf season ever held. The pro-
fessionals are drifting into the golf
haven by the score, and when the gong
rings for the start on Friday morning
it is expected that some fifty con-
testants viii tee off,
With such phenoms as Walter Hagen,
Jim Barnes, Mike Brady, Jock Hutchi-
son, Leo Deigel, Alex. Ross, Tom ker-
rlgan, Pat O'Hara, ]. Fl. Kirkwood, the
trick shooter from Australia, and &
host OF others, he Is a daring prophet
indeed who would hazard an opinion as
to the probable winner. The fellow
who is on his game-that is, the par
ticular "pro" of these stars-probably
will win out. But who can tell just
which one is going to be in form?
However, | can inform the palpitat-
ing golf public of one who is certain to
finish in the money and who will bear
watching all the way. That person is
little Freddie Mcleod the diminutve
sharp shooter OF the Columbia Country
Club, who has been stationed at the
links here this winter. This crack
midget is the present North and South
champion, and let me state right here
that it is going to take a good per-
formance to wrest his honors from him.
Mcleod Improves With Age
This fellow is one of those who is
always on his game He has been that
way for the last twenty years, and, like
wine, he grows better with age. He is
as nifty a performer as ever trod the
links; is always the same consistent,
easygoing, nervy, beautiful golfer he
was when he won the national open
championship in 1908.
The Columbian seems to be playing
better this season than he has In sew
eral years. Already this winter he has
been victorious III several best ball
matches against other professionals.
His partner in most of these was the
other midget, Pat O'Hara. Of Richmond
County Club. In addition, Mcleod
won the annual st. Augustine open
meet here recently against q field Of
formidable players.
His victory here was especially
pleasing to him as it augurs we'll for
his chances over his home course in
the national open meet in July. AS we
stated some time ago, according to

The most important one, proposed to
prevent one yacht from carrying an
other the wrong side of the mark at
the start Of the races, will be held up
until a debate is had with Eastern
yachting organizations as to the wis
dom of its application. Under the old
rules this was possible because there
we're no marks defining the course until
the starting signal was given. The
amendment will establish fixed marks
when the preparatory signal is given.

Horemans Comes
Back After Cutler
Leads i'm Cue Test
Belgian Almost Skaters
Two Worlds Records ON
First Day of 1871 Match

/ Edouard Horemans, of Belgium, met
defeat at the hands of Alfred Cutler in
the opening round yesterday afternoon
at Klines Billiard Academy of their
1871 balk line handicap match, but the
foreigner more than made up for his
delinquencies last night by smothering
the American at every angle of the
game. .Horemans played masterful bill
lizards last night, approaching worlds
records for high run and in his grand
average.
At both sessions Cutler played the
American system, that of smashing the
balls out of balk on every shot,
whereas the Belgian stuck to his own
peculiar conservative style. Horemans
again demonstrated his ability to play
best under the hottest fire when last
night, after Cutler had taken the lead,
| ne ran a string of 124 points. 1t was
on this occasion that the gallery was
roofing for Horemans to eoual the
world mark of 140 straight, established
by Frank Ives in 1887.
Horemans worked himself out Of
many difficult situations, once when
the balls were frozen, only to miss an
easy two-cushion shot for his 125th
point. But for this miss, it IS more
than probable that he would to-day be
ooastlng the possession OF q new high
run record. Previously in the night
block, Horemans had piled up run
of LOG. Cutler thereafter came to the
fore with consecutive scores of 81, 81,
27 and II.
But for his comparatively poor show
ing in the afternoon, Horemans might
have established world record for a
days average, his summary for the
two blocks being 20. The record of
20.83 is held by Willie Hoppe and was
established at the time the Boy Wonder
won the championship from Morris
Vignaux in 1906.
AS Horemans is playing Cutler 2,40O
to 1900 points, the American is now
only forty points behind the total re-
quired to put him on even keel with
the pacemaker.

Miller to Call
Sport Writers
In Conference
Unified State Control of
Professional Athletics To
Be Topic of Discussions
From a staff Correspondent


ALBANY, March 2s.-The question Of
unified state control of professional
athletic activities will be discussed by
Governor Miller with sporting writer's
either late this week or some time next
week, in the Executive Chamber When
the date is set for the conference mems
bers of the sporting stats of the leao-
ing newspapers in the state will be in-
vlted to come to Albany to present
their views TO she CctrrnG.
1t was learned tonight that Governor
Miller on his return from Atlantic City
Saturday night was presented with the
draft of a tentative bill which would
create state athletic commission that
would have supervision over horse rac-
ing, professional boxing, baseball, wres-
Ting and other professional sports
The creation of this commission
would legislate the present racing and
boxing commissions out of existence.
Non-Salaried Commission
Under the provisions of the bill there
would be three comm issioners. Tho
men interested in clean sport are con-
fdent that the right sort will be ap-
pointed to the commission if the bill
goes through.
Assemblyman Arthur E. o. Brundage,
of Orange County, is among the legis-
lators who believe the standards OF
sports in this state would be elevated
through the creation of a sport COM
mission comprised of members who
served without fee.
He has served notice that he. in the
event the unified sports control plan
does not go through, will introduce
bill which would amend the present
state Boxing Commission law so as to
have the commissioners serve without
pay. They are now getting $4,000
year.
Aims to Prevent Scandals
There is considerable interest in tha
plan to bring professional BASEBALL
under statr Supervision. This will be-
the first time in the history of the
state that attempt has been mada
to regulate the sport. There seems TO
be a great deal of sentiment for this,
and it is based largely on the 1919
baseball scandal.
The proponents of state baseball con-
troll believe that. enactment of such
legislation would close the doors
against repetitions in this state of tho
alleged bribery plot that disrupted the
Chicago White Sox.
Governor Miller recently signed
bill which would make it misde-
meanor for any one TO offer profess
sional baseball player q bribe and also
making it a misdemeanor for a player
to accept one.
