was located and found to be IN stud

OF INTEREST TO MOTORISTS

Grant county motorists will be in
terested in a new machine just in
stalled by the Service Garage, Potos1,
for the special purpose of refac1ng
motor valves. In explaining the oper-
alton of the new machine, Mr.. Stoll
said:
"Our experience goes to show that
worn, warped and leaky valves can
and do produce more symptoms OF SER
ious auto ailment than any other part
of an automobile, for instance
When the valves leak, there is a
loss of compression in the cylinders,
consequently very material loss of
power. The leaky valves permit I'M
burned gas to pass out through the
exhaust. That's waste. Because they
are leaky-not gas tight-they do not
hold the compression, consequently
they permit oil to come up past the
pistons and that fouls spark plugs.
Then also, because they leak, they
permit a part of the unburned fuel to
pass out into the intake manifold on
each explosion stroke and this I'M
burned gas, mixing with the good gas
in the intake manifold, weakens the
mixture, lessons its power, and causes
the motor to operate by fits and
starts. That jerky, uneven operation
of the motor is transmitted to every
working part of the auto, even the
rear axle, the rear wheels and even
has an effect on the rear tires.
With these wasteful processes at
work, it is impossible to adjust the
carburetor so that it will serve the
proper mixture to each cylinder. The
ignition system, the carburetor, the
gasoline, the oil and often the manu-
facturer of the auto is blamed and
cursed for these ailments, when it is
leaky valves that are causing all the
trouble
Realizing these facts, we set about
our methods of handling
valves and after a careful investiga-
ton, of many machines and methods,
we have installed the Kwik-Way Valve
Facing Machine, product of the Ce-
dar Rapids Engineering Company, Ce-
dar Rapids, Iowa. 1t is an electrically
operated machine, made with as much
care and accuracy as watch, and
what's better it does an absolutely
perfect job of refacing valves, and
properly fitted valves will put more
pep, more power Ii SICK motor than
any other single operation that can
be performed on motor.
The machine is here, it is installed
and ready for action, so bring your
own sick motor around, and we'll
demonstrate the truth as to valves
and valve troubles. Well cure EN-"

FIGHT FANS REPORTED
 BUNKED BY GAMBLERS
Ugly Rumors Are Spreading As Re. suit of Recent Sullivan
 3allerino Battle.

New York, Oct. 27.-Ugly rumors connecting smart gamblers with the recent knockout of Mike Ballerino by Kid Sullivan. junior lightweight champion, refuse to down.
 This is due to the inexplicable and illogical manner in which the odds on the outcome of the bout were jugglod around.
 Two days before the fight Balier- ino was the favorite 10 win on points, and many wagers at ade- quate odds were made that Ballerino would score a knockout.
 On the day of the fight the bet ting changed to even money.
 Two hours before the men climbed into the ring Sullivan was installed a heavy favorite. Not only that but bets were freely offered that Sulli- van would win by a knockout. In many cases Sullivan packers offered odds their man would win by a knockout.
 To cap the climax one of the big gest gamblers in the east began to flood the arena with bets that Bat lcrino would not come up for the sixth round.
 And that's exactly what happened. Sullivan. never a heavy hitter. drop ped Ballcrino in the fifth round for the full count.
 Fight fans are demanding an in- vcstigation.

Harris Admits Champs
 Need Better Reserves

Washington, Oct. 27. -- Manager stanley Harris of the world champs is willing 10 stand pat on his club except for reserve strength. He says;
 My regulars are as good as any ieanl in the league, l do not know "a single spot where the first string CTS could be bettercd.
 'fhe world series games did prove the weakness of my reserve strength particularly in the infleld.
 "The developing Of capable sub stitutcs will be my biggest task for the coming season."
 Had the Washington club suffered the loss of Muddy Ruel last year for any length of time, the team would have probably gone to pieces.
 Ruel did practically all the catch ing and lost 20 pounds in doing it. He can't be asked to repeat next year.
 A veteran catcher, capable of go- ing good for about 40 games would be an ideal addition 10 the Nation 1ls. Such backstop would enable Ruel 10 take an occasional rest.

WATERBURY AND
 N, B. PLAY TIE.
SCOreleSS Game at BraSSC0 Park
 Proves Locals Mettle

So. evenly matched were tho AL
 New Britain and Waterbury elevens
 in their battle yesterday afternoon at Brassco park in Waterbury. that nothing but fuke could result in a score and the inevitable happened. the two clubs battling through four periods of scoreless football. Waterbury had an edge on New
 Britain in the first period and part
 of the second quarter. Jimmie Con-
 nelly's club then opened up and in
 the third and fourth quarters held the upper hand. 5.. l.... The first thriller of the game
 came after about. five minutes of
 play when Waterbury carried the i pigslin 10 New Britains two yard
 line. With four downs to go, Walter
 McPhee the billian Princeton quar- l terback of several years ago and now "a shining light on the Pittsheld baseball team, elected to send his backs sagahst New Britain's line. 1 Two plunges brought the ball to | less than yard from score. On the third down. Tommy Duly broke through and pushed Innes for five
 yard loss. New Britain held on the fourth down and play went into mid field when Sanford booted out of
 danger.
 Sanford was taken from the game
 in the early stages of the second
 half when he was injured in a tackle. Boomer Dill replaced him. Joe Neville whose playing featured ! the appearance of New Britain two years ago, was back in the lineup. Although Joe's forte is drop kicking. his ground gaining and defensive work yesterday was of high order, while. he failed to pick up points with his boot, three tries for field goal failing by inches,
 Stan Kennedy was easily the ground gaining star for New Brit ain. He was the hardest line plung-
 1T on the lot and his pluDgcs brought several first downs. Joe Fully ran the team to perfection. Simondinger. formerly of Holy Cross, was the biggest threat of Wat bIry's backtieid. Segretta, who was dropped by the New Britain club several weeks ago. appeared on end for Waterbury for a short stretch, but was unable to dent the New Britain offense
 Toward the close of the game, Waterbury realized the futility of at tempting gains through New Brit aims line and uncogked display of aerial work that retted some good ! gains. It was in this stage of the
 game that simondinsers work
 showed up best. Rangers In Tie In the preliminary game, the
 Rangers of this city and the Trib- unes of Waterbury fought to scoreless tie. Waterbury presented the heavier lineup, but ifs hopes for scoring seemed pinned entirely hpon Anderson, its fullback. New Btitain played hard and well with the Hons share of the work falling to Argosy who pulled down most of the tackles.
