Watch for Dragging Clutch.

r 1t happens on occasion that the
engine slows down when the clutch
Is disengaged, whereas exactly the
rverse should be the case. Gener-
ally the engine gets the blame, when
In reality the trouble is due to the
fact that the clutch does not entire
ly disengage. Sometimes In these
cases there may be a rasping OF
gears when shifting, this latter con-
dition would naturally follow, since
the clutch does not leave the iy-
wheel properly. The basic cause Of
trouble is very probably wear In the
throwout collar. In this way when
the Gluten pedal is pushed down an
the way. the clutch moves outward
only a little; not enough to permit
the engine 10 run fdfs. II the clutch
is of the cone type. a Kissing is like
ly to result, because Of facing slip
ping around in the dywheel.

How to Test Contacts.

1t is not an unknown practice
among sharp dealers to substitute
nickel silver for genuine platinum
in ignition contacts, <Here is sim
pie test to discover the imposition.
Take a few filings from the contact
and place them. in a chemical test
tube with a small quantity of strong
nitric acid and apply a gentle heat
II they are nickel silver. the filings
will dissolve and color the acid
green. or IL they are plain silver
they dissolve, though a little more
slowly. Genuine platinum will not
be affected at all by the acid. IN
fact 1t can only be dissolved by boil
ing in a mixture of nitric and hydro
cholic acid, called by chemists aqua
regia..

NEW YORK, June 25-Tex
Rickard, who has been bored to

one of them when he stated that

Rickard stated that the bout
positively would be staged In the

that the only thing that would

Grotto Trounced
By Blue Lodge
Huge CroIDd Sees Altrock
HurI Blue Lodge to
6-2 Victory.

Before over $4,000 people, prob
ably the greatest crowd that has
ever witnessed an athletic event
in this city, and certainly the larg-
est that has ever jammed American
League Park. Nick" Altrock. mas
ter comedian, showed that he still
possesses the remnants of the stuff
that made him one OF the greatest
pitchers of all time. In points for
the Blue Lodge nine against the
Grottos Nick" held his opponents
to a scant seven hits. drove out two
timely bingles -pilfered a sack. and
generally distinguished himself
throughout the afternoon. The final
score was Blue Lodge, 6; Grotto, 2.
The endowment fund of the Ma
sonic and Eastern Star Home was
enriched by many thousands OF dol
lars as the result of yesterdays
event. As early as 1880 the aisles
were crowded with incoming fans
who continued to pour in until all
the seats in the grandstand, pavil-
ions and boxes were jammed to
Overlooking. Hundreds of specta-
tors swarmed into the emergency
seats which were installed in the
outfield, while other hundreds
packed the aisles of the grandstand
and pavilions.
Bands from the Grotto Lodge and
The Tall Cedars of Lebanon. aided
and abetted by the inimitable
Nick" entertained the incoming
throngs From then on until the
start of the game clowns. jugglers,
bicycle performers. acrobats and
barefoot dancers kept the crowd in
an uproar Mick" himself was the
center about which the feminine
devotees OF aesthetic dancing re-
volved. With the easy grace OF a
bovine Mick" cavorted
on the sward until actual physical
exhaustion prevented his answering
the fans continual cry for more.
The Blue Lodge nine took the
field with Altrock in the box. Nor
ris. the first man up. scratched
single through the box. but was
forced at second on Burns attempt
ed bunt. Burns was also forced by
who continued on to
second on Carpenters wild peg to
first Walker ended the frame by
grounding out.
Pfiel set his opponents down In
order in the first. but hits by Jen-
kins, Homan, Watt. Jones and AL
trock accounted for three runs in
the second. In this same session
Hiser smacked the ball over Walk
er's head for a home run, but was
out for not touching first.
Altrock continued to battle his
opponents in the succeeding frames.
while Blue Lodge was counting an
other run in the third on Watts
walk and Jones' double. Not a Blue
Lodge player reached third, until
Pfel tripled in the seventh. Hits
by Norris and Hornsberger and
Burns infield out accounted for
two runs in this inning.
Two hits. an error and Pfeps
wild pitch were responsible for Blue
final tallies in the seventh.
The Grottos were helpless before
Altrock's slants after the seventh,
and he concluded his performance
by tanning two in the ninth. Not
a bad days work for an old man!

Saeinbrink, as Counsel of
Estimate Board, Finds AL
legged Juggling of Money;
Missing, Then Reappears
Gives Facts to Whitman
Declares He Will Turn Over
for Inquiry Anything That
Smacks of Crookedness

Important discoveries made by Meier
Steinbrink in the course Of the inves-
tlgation of city contracts, which he is
conducting as special counsel to the
Board Of Estimate, were laid by him
before former Governor Charles S.
Whitman yesterday at the Criminal
Courts Building. They probably will
be incorporated in the inquiry which
Mr.. Whitman is directing into the
charges made against the Hylan ad-
ministration by State Senator Theo-
dore Douglas Robinson and Assembly
man Joseph Steinberg.
While neither Mr.. Whitman nor any
of his assistants would discuss at any
length the matters placed before the
investigators by Mr.. Steinbrink, The
Tribune learned that one disclosure
involved the mysterious disappearance
from certain city depository of s15,-
600, which had been placed there in
connection with municipal contract.
S15,0GO Reappeared
The money, according to The Trib-
une's information, disappeared from
the depository and reappeared after
Mr.. Steinbrnk had pressed his investi-
cation Of what had become of it. In
an effort to learn what use had been
made of the cash and how it happened
to be removed from the bank. Mr..
Steinbrink subpnnaed the books Of the
institution and it is believed that the
results of their examination by expert
accountants comprise the information
which he desires to have taken up by
Mr.. Whitman's investigators.
Mr.. Steinbrink, The Tribune was in
formed yesterday, came across the
Slo,OOO deposit in the course of his own
Investigations and only discovered that
1t had been removed from the dcposi-
tory after he had checked it I'D with q
number of other deposits Several davs
later, when he again took up the mat
ter, he found that it had been returned
IN quite as mysterious a manner as it
had been removed.
The possibility OF there being n
criminal phase in connection with this
incident is Said to be what caused Mr..
Stelnbrlnk to call it to the attention
of Mr.. Whitman
CoHfers With Whitman
Mr.. Steinbrnk arrived at the District
Attorneys Office rather unexpectedly
yesterday morning and mmediately
went into conference with Mr.. Whit
man. The two were together for about
forty minutes and when Mr. Whitman
vent before the grand jury in connec-
tlon with the Indictment of Captain
Bailey he referred the Board of EST
mates counsel to Arthur M. King, who
is one of the exGovernor's assistants.
One hour and half later Mr.. Stein
brink came out of Mr.. Kings Office and
told newspaper men that his object in
visiting the District Attorneys Office
was to place before Mr.. Whitman every
thing he had discovered in his investi-
CATION which seemed to. him to be of a
suspicious nature
