Smith Grammar and Harrington
Grammar viii probably put Il senior
and junior team in the field this
spring but st. Mary's will be able to
muster junior team only. Although
Smith was hit hard by graduation
last year it had an excellent second
team which will he heard from this
season. harrington, weak in the
first division last spring, will be in
the race Tor first honor this. year. st.
Mary's was likewise crippled by
graduation but unlike Smith has no
second team material available and
as consequence there will be no
senior team to represent the paro-
chial school this year. However, a
good second team is in prospect.

SPORT
CHAT

Augusta will decide tonight wheth-
or or not it will support a baseball
team the coming season. The meet
ing will be held in City hall and Ben
HouSer who directed the team the
past two years will be present. Since
the failure to organize a league, in
tcrest has been on the wane. Adverse
talk has been heard on the street.
This is to be deplored There is no
reason why the Capitol City should
not be represented by as fast team
as the past two Years. AS Il city
it can i'll afford to pass the question
up. AS to financial support. it can
be had for the asking. Some are
reluctant to pass the hat" but in
the absence of a carnival or similar
affair to raise money. it is the only
course y thorough canvass of the
city will mean a fund sufficient, with
the attendance to insure baseball in
Augusta this coming summer. All
out tonight and attend the meeting
at City hall.
1t is understood that Supt. Burrill
of the Augusta schools will soon call
meeting of those interested in
forming grammar school baseball
league similar to that of last YEAR
Although the playing conditions
have not been OF the best, squads
have been out for the past week in
all of the schools.

IS days earlier than formerly, and
the indications are that this will
be an exceptionally good year. Last
season was the best III tho history
of Lake Tahoe. From the number
of bucks reported as having been
seen by people on hiking trips, this
season should be aqually as good,
if not better.
The season opened in districts ],

U. S. Should Keep
Tennis Laur el S
For Long Time
BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, September 4.-Win-
ner of the Davis cup for the fourth
year in succession, the United sta
tes, it seems certain now, will re-
tain the championship of the world
at tennis as long as William T.
Tilden and William M. Johnston
retain their game.
There is nothing to indicate that
either of America s "two Bills -
have reached or are even near the
end of their string and as long as
foreign nations do not develop bet
ter players, Tilden and Johnston
should be able to reign supreme
even after they have slipped a lit
tie.
Seventeen nations challenged and
participated in the preliminary
rounds leading up to the challenge
round between Australia and the
United States, which was finished
yesterday at Forest Hills with the
Americans winning by Il score of
four to one.
Of all the stars that played in
the cup series, only James o. An
derson, the tall Australian cham
pion showed form sufficient to
place him near the. two American
aces.

CLOUDBURST
PLAYS HAVOC
IN MOUNTAINS

Old Man Pluvius played pranks
on Saturday afternoon with valley
ties who were rushing to mountains
and seacoast for the holidays. A
rainfall assuming the proportions
Of 4 cloudburst spent its greatest
intensity in the mountains near
Shepherd s Bridge, with the result
that the roadway was choked full of
debris, and stones, great and small.
The highway just on this side of the
bridge was particularly bad, being
covered to a depth of several inches
with sand and rocks. However,
prompt work on the part of work
men cleared the way sufficiently to
let traffic through, and by yester-
day very little remained as evi-
dence of the freak storm, EXCEPT
two or three small cave-ins on the
banks and large rock here or
there in the roadway. The rainfall
extended throughout the mountains
almost as far as San Diego.
According to the local branch Of
the Automobile club, three minor ac
cidents were reported, due to the
bad condition of the road on the
Mountain Springs grade. Although
the road is now completely dry.
yet it is extremely rough in spots
and badly washed, making slow driv
ing and caution necessary. Motor
lists who are in the habit of .''hiltine
it up" after leaving Shepherd S
Bridge coming into the valley arc
also cautioned against speeding
along this stretch as sand has been
washed onto the road Immediately
under the railroad bridge, which
crosses the highway several miles
from Coyote Wells, making bad
spot there.

INSTALLING ELECTRICAL
ACCESSORIES ON CAR

When buying an electrical acces-
sorry, the purchaser is generally in
structed to connect one wire to the
battery and the other to the ground
for the single wire system, or both
wires to the battery for the double
wire system, Such instructions,
though essentially correct, are not
conducive to giving the purchaser
the best indication of the reliability
of operation of the accessory in
stalled. In the case of stop lights,
unless check light is installed as
part of the equipment, there is
nothing to indicate to the driver
whether the light is in working
order or not.
In the case of ther accessories,
excessive current may be drawn
without and notice being given OF
the defective condition. The proper
manner in which to install any elec-
trical accessory is to make comee-
tions in such manner that all cur
rent drawn must pass through the
ammeter and if possible, to give
each accessory the added protection
of fuse. In the original wiring
plan of a car, all current drawn,
except that consumed by the starter,
is registered on the ammeter.
The feed wire is generally con
nected ot the live side of the start
er switch and runs from there to one
side of the meter. The electrical
equipment is either directly or in
directly connected to the other side
and all current, either drawn from
or delivered to the battery, must
register it's value on the ammeter.
BY connecting the wiring of all cleo
| trical accessories to this side of the.
meter, an accurate cheek can be
kept on the condition of any Install
alton.
The driver soon becomes accus-
| toned to the amount of current con-
sumed by each circuit and any de
fective condition can readily be
detected. The application of the
brakes will cause a fluctuation of
the meter needle if the stop light is
in perfect condition; a short-circuit,
ground or an excessive current con
sumption will Immediately make it
self known by an excessive dis
charge reading. 1t is therefore a
good policy to connect the wiring
of all accessories so that the current
consumed will flow through the am
meter and then to watch the meter.
