Evening star., 1925-10-10

Notwithstanding this sudden ad
the result of the. series a toss-up.
There is practically nothing on which
a base ball man decides with reason
that one or the other club should win.
After their great finish at Pittsburgh,
the Pirates were gathering mo-
mentum. That now has been offset
by the chance the older club has had
to rest up.
Solves Pitching Problem.
1t is easily possible now for John
son and CoveleSkie, 10 pitch two of the
three games here. which gives Stanley
Harris an opportunity to jockey or
maneuver his pitchers. To d base
ball man the logical thing seems to be
Johnson tomorrow and Coveleskie
the next day. This makes the stu
alton right for Alex Ferguson to
pitch the third game. In fact,
understand that Harris and the Ma
tionals have decided to use Ferguson
rather than Dutch Ruether.
If Ferguson gets Try in the third
game 1 doubt If Ruether viii start at

Pittsburgh punch and I think they

This delay also is q help to the
Pirates, but not SO much as 20 Wash
ington, an older club. 1t also gives
McKechnie u bigger margin for
working out his pitching problems
He said when the game was called
off that he would pitch Ray Kremer.
You will notice that both clubs

Harris to the hitting strength and he

ing.
! have not Scnn much OF Ferguson
but from what Babe Ruth tells me
he may prove one Of the surprises of
the series. Ruth, who has been on
the same club with Ferguson and who
also has batted against him, tells me
he is a very smart pitcher and knows
what he is out there for. To base
ball people that means lot.
| know kremer very we'll, and in
him the Washington club will find a
tough problem.
Next Game Is Crucial.
The club that wins this next game
will he in q position to take chances
and space out the pitchers with more
freedom. The important thing for
both clubs is to give plenty of rest to
their veteran stars SO they may
come back strong. With Meadows and
Aldridge waiting for another chance
with the Pirates and Johnson and
Coveleskie for the Nationals, it prom
ises to be ii tight fight right down to
the finish. That is why / see no
chance yet of picking a winner.
An odd feature TO this series has
been the wonderful work OF the
Pirates on the defense and the strong
offense of the Nationals, which Is
exactly in contradiction to early pre-
dictions. Also the Pirates expected
to beat Johnson easily. but feared
Coveleskie. The result was the other
way. But that is what makes base
ball a great game.

Lessons From Accidents.

There were four girls and three
men IN the car at the time of the
accident. The roadway was extreme
ly slippery, and it was raining The
car was travelling about 35 when the
driver attempted to swing around the
car ahead only to discover that he
could not make it. Back into line
he went, stepping on his brakes as
he did SO. Instantly the rear of his
car swung to the left. Next it was
swinging to the right. And a mo-
ment later the car was off the road,
upside down and jammed against a
telegraph pole.
There you are said a wiseacre
in commenting about it to small
group of witnesses. -Four wheel
brakes and balloon tires"
He might have gone even further
and added, "Air-cleaner straight
eight motor. aluminium pistons and
disc wheels" His explanation of the
accident would have been just as ac-
curate.
Can't you just picture what really
happened? Can't you see that crazy
driver jamming on his brakes as he
swung back into line. causing the
rear of the car to sway? Can't YOU
see him swing the steering wheel
around too far in the other direction
when he felt the car skiddng? Can't
you picture him losing his head COM
pletely when he found that he had
done the wrong thing from start to
finish?
1t was bad steering, not stopping.
More skidding has been caused by
wild steering than all the smooth
tires and unqualified brakes in mo-
tordom.

Because of its constantly expanding
activity and the consequent demand
for more offlce space, the American
Automobile Association has estab-
lished new headquarters, in the Mills
Building, Seventeenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue. occupying
rooms formerly held by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States.
Needs of the organization had long
since outgrown the facilities of Its
former home on Sixteenth street.
Since the amalgamation Of the Ma
tional Motorists Association with the
A. A. A. a year ago. the association
has doubled in membership, It was
said bringing the total number of
members to 100000. 1t has clubs and
branches In $50 cities in the United
States, and 96 per cent of all motor
ing clubs in this country are directly
affiliated with II.
Among it's new activities, accord
ing to a statement issued by the as
sociation, are; the establishment of a
commercial vehicle department which
will represent the motor truck and
bus business of the country: safety
section devoted to promotion Of meas
ures calculated to minimize the dan
ger hazard on streets and highways:
and a research division to promote
uniformity throughout the United
States in Legislation and ordinances
affecting the motor vehicle.
The association also announced that
II has added to the personnel of its
various departments to handle ade-
quateIy the constantly increasing

Watch Your New Shoes.

John Jones. had just put on new
pair of shoes and felt very conscious
OF the fact. Stepping into his car
and breezing away. however, he COM
menced to feel conscious of a new
zip In the motor, new burst Of
power that he had never observed
before. But he failed to connect his
feet with the feat displayed by the
motor. He did not realize that the
new, stiff sole of his right shoe was
merely causing him to apply gas
through the accelerator a little more
roughly. With his old shoes he could
feel the accelerator more easily and
handled the gas more gingerly as a
consequence.
Then when he was running along a
trifie faster than he should have been
going he found it necessary to jam
on the brakes. Here the new shoes
got him into trouble. His right foot
slipped off the brake pedal and
TANNED down on the accelerator in

Did You Know

That it is advisable and frequently
necessary to turn down the bolts in
definite order after replacing a cyl
inder head? The order varies for
different engines. II you cannot as
certain the particular order for your
car then at least tighten all the bolts
evenly just as you would do in tight
ening rim lugs.
That on some engines the cylinder
head gasket should be put into place
without treating it in any way?
Shellac on a gasket for one make of
engine. for instance, will cause a leak
instead of preventing It, For some
makes II is best to shellac on one
side of the gasket only. Where 1t
is impossible to obtain a new gasket
white lead is sometimes used to help
prevent leaks.
That 1t is better to carry the spare
tire with the valve stem up top in
stead of at the bottom? When in the
latter position water during a heavy
rain collects in the rim and leaks
through to the inner tube. where it
cannot do any possible good.

SPARE GAS IN COLD.
Way Shown to Avoid Flooding En-.
gine at Starting.

Much of the difficulty in cranking
cold motors is the result of not know
ing when the engine is being flooded
with raw gas. The driver keeps
right on choking the carburetor in
the belief that the engine needs all
gasoline spray and no air, and he
naturally makes matters worse every
minute.
But there is way to tell when
you're flooding the engine, and with
out leaving the driving compartment
If the engine does not show the
slightest sign of activity, keep on
using the choker and cranking. But
If 1t starts, then stalls, and you are
still using the choker fully, the thing
to do is to push the choker all the
way in and continue to crank. If the
engine does not start then, walt a
few minutes. try cranking with the
choker all the way in and if nothing
happens, pull it all the way out in
the conventional way. You're then
getting fresh start and are back
where you started.

primarily because she knows 1t isn't

It's like the story of the sick hus-

Upon her return he presented her

lot of things have passed unnoticed.

see some decided changes in the ap-

Here is the logical place for the small

Balloon tires are not going TO
escape the influence of women. One
of the big questions now is whether
these supertires will be too heavy
for women to change, because it is a
matter of recent history that the de-
mountable steel wheel was soon re-
vised to carry demountable rims as
an aid to more convenient and less
burdensome tire changing.
II the advantages of the balloon
tires are so great. despite an increase
in weight, then you may be sure that
an easier way of changing tires will
be devised-some scheme whereby the
car can jack itself and a method of
raising and lowering the spare tire

these developments are already seen,
