Billy Evans Says

q ~
Is -asstar pitcher more valuable to
a ball club than star infielder or
brilliant outfelder, who can hit?
&E1m a major league standpoint
it would seem that this question has
been answered by the careers of
Babe Ruth and George Sisler--an-
swered in the negative.
Ruth, the slugging outfelder, and
Sisler, the incompatible first sacker,
are rated far above Pitchers Ruth
and Sisler.

SLOPE BETTER

SLOPE BETTER
Howard Wood, former lieutenant
governor and now deputy internal
revenue collector for North Dakota,
was in the city yesterday on bust
ness and attending the conservation
services at st. Joseph church.
Speaking of financial conditions in
the state Mr.. Wood declared that
members Of the internal revenue
collectors staff recently made a
tabulation Of income tax returns in
the state,
Every county west of the river
showed an increase in the tax re-
ce;pts while every county east of the
river showed a decrease. You folks
out here in the slope are long
ways from broke" he said, and il
would appear that you have plenty
of optimism and splendid prospects,
Mr.. Wood declined to talk about
politics, but admitted that he found
little enthusiasm over the election
in the state.

1t seemed gambling with fate to
spoil a pitcher capable of winning on
an average of at least go games a
year into an outfelder simply be-
cause he showed signs Of being able
to hit.
Barrows figured that Ruth playing
every day would win more than 25
games a year through his slugging
| ability, which was better record
| than could be expected of him as a
| pitcher.
For time Ruth showed no great
bility as an outfieider but he early
proved that he could hit. His ability
to hit the ball farther than any
other human being soon caused him
to be baseball's greatest favorite,
the games biggest attraction.
Later, George Sislcr, starring as
a pitcher but the posscssor of great
speed and the ability to hit, was
converted into a first bascman. His
success has been almost as sensa-
tional as that of Ruth.
At the start of this season, the
Chicago, White Sox conceived the
idea of working the Ruth and Sisler
theory with Il reverse english. Lack
of pitching caused the club to
switch Outfielder Falk back tc
pitching, his position as college
player.
Falk, a player of much natural
ability, great hitting power, ha,
given promise of developing into
quite an outtelder. 1t was known
fact that he could hit.
Making hard-hitting outficlde1

FROM PERRY M. HERN


 their right of franchise at the polls on Nov. 4th and to know exactly what each contestant for public of flee has in mind when seeking such service. l am not professional pol itician nor in fact politician at all, but l hope to possess honor and courage enough (if elected) to in sist on enacting such legislation that will be of the most benefit to the most people.
 I am unalterably opposed to pri- vate monopoly of the territorial re- sources and for private interests only to be represented at our legis- lature. Men who are employed, if nanced and dictated to by the large companies, seek such public service for selfish motives and for the in terests of their employers, to legis- late only for their employers in the territory with the promise that if we must be patient and wait till their prosperity leaks down upon us, has ceased to be a virtue.
 Prosperity commences at the bot tom and not at the top and unless we extend the same favors to the small investors and small industries we can not expect rapid growth to our population nor the develop ment of the resources of the Terri tory.
 In this campaign as in all others men who seek office for personal gain evade the real issues and in ject propaganda unrelated to the most vital issues. If the Native citizens of the First Division are as illiterate as we are led to be- lieve, who is responsible for this condition? Is it not fact that the source from which this propaganda comes has had charge of the Terri tory's affairs for a number of years: Why not have a public school sys- tenn second to none and compulsory school laws. Judging the personel of the Republican candidates, if it were the illiterate native vote that decided the choice, the oldest resi- dents and critics comment could only be "They used most excellent judg ment." l will at all times stand and without reservation against any discrimination between races, classes or creeds and will insist for the right of every American citizen to exercise his or her full constitution al rights.
 If Alaska, with it's vast area and unlimited resources, is ever to be- come the home of American citizens, we must be represented by men whose homes are in the Territory, whose heart and soul are for the in terests of all her citizens and make Yoccib1o for ,ooo,.o.

1t used to be the rule to take a

Now the service station will get a

shop. And the motoriSt can do the
same IL he wants to make sure that
everything is all right before he pays
the bill
While there is still the necessity of
"shorting" the plugs in order to tell
which one is missing, the motorist
who has no particular aptitude for
mechanics does not have to go very
far to decide whether the engine is
hitting on all six or all eight. He
can get a very good line on the stu
alton by testing for vibration. Some
of the eights will now show no ap-
preciable period of vibration, and
this is true of a great many of the

trained ear the power plant VIII seem
to be ticking it off in perfect style.
The engine will accelerate at COM

of trouble. Even if the owner took
the car out on the street he would
never notice the difference until he
started up a steep hill. But just let
him try to balance the pencil. With

he would not be able to run slowly
in high gear without "bucking."
Engine knocks and noises are now

sity of taking the car out. A test

brakes so tight that it can hardly
make headway. This has the effect
of climbing steep hill and will
show up bearing knock in minute.
Another test that will show up

then quickly remove the screwdriver
so that the plug can fire the exact

Water is one OF the products of con

VALVE ADVICE OFFERED.
Be Sure Tappet Adjustment Has
Sufficient Clearance.

No need to fear getting the valves
mixed up when taking them out.
Lightly punch dots on the head Of
each valve to correspond with the
respective number of the valve.
Reading from radiator back, the
fourth valve in line should have four
dot marks Five should indicate
valve No. 5. Unless all new valves
are to be inserted. it is necessary. or
at least advisable, to replace them
correctly. This plan solves the prob
lem.
If the head Of an exhaust valve has
q reddish appearance it indicates that
the valve has been part way opdn
during the running of the engine.
The burning gases have played
around 1t and overheated 1t. Use a
new valve and be sure that the tappet
adjustment shows sufficient clearance
Emery -four and kerosene make
the best abrasive compound for use
in grinding in the valves. Put q lit
tie of it around the valve seat at a
time-only little. Too much may
mean getting the abrasive into the
valve guides, where wear means
leakage and loss of power at low
speed.

DOUBLE DRIVING FAILURE.

Samuel Johnson once said that
there must always be a leader. and
that this is proved by the fact that
if two men ride a horse one must of
necessity be forward and the other
aft. When young woman suggest
ed the possibility of them riding side
by side, Johnson replied that the
horse would merely throw them.
Johnsons theory has beer clearly
demonstrated by husbands and wives
who ignore his logic when they are
both trying to drive the car at the
same time.
