 Today Tunney again looms be- fore Stribling and Billy Gibson. manager of the American light heavyweight champion, says that the match can be made by a pro- moter of standing at any time.
 Indoors or out suits me" said Gibson. "and I am not demanding s5o,0o0 for Tunnoy's appearance as reported"
 The battle may be signed for May il at the Garden or may await the opening of the baseball parks. II is moro than proha blo that ToX Rickard will be behind it this time.
 For more than half of the Iis- lance last night neither man ap, peared to have any apprcciablc ad- vantage but in the seventh 'hn Georgian loosed an overhead right that caused damage.

 The two senior teams have been putting in stiff practice sessions this week in preparation for the coming battle and from the appear aUcc of the two lives, the game will develop into a real fiery battle. The Legion team will strive 10 win because it will mean that they will have one more opportunity 10 strike at the Guards for the championship while if they lose, the series is over and the Guards will walk away with the honors,
 On the other hand, nothing will bo dearer to the hearts Of the mem. | brrs of tho National Guard team than to takc tho second game, mak- ing it two straight for them. The players feel that they have the su- pcrior combination and do not wish | 10 have even ono defeat by tho ! Legion five pinned on their record l for tin es"ason.
 Interest in the game among the fans is running high and there arc many this week who were doubtful of the ability of the Legion quintet l 10 make it a battle with the Guards last Saturday night are giving the ! Legion players an even chance of taking the honor sin this coming Saturday nights game.
 The game between thc junior teams the Burritts and the National 1 Guard Reserves. is, this week. as it did last week, attracting the lions share of the interest.

 St. Petersburg, Fla, March D. The champions of the Florida league is what rival teams are calling the Boston Braves.
 During the spring training games. the Braves have soundly tromced the opposition, the American league clubs in particular.
 Sitting on the bench with Man ager Dave Bancroft as his team re- gently came from behind with sX-run rally 10 beat Washington, l commented on the smooth play of his club in these spring games,
 Bancroft one Of the greatest shortstops baseball has ever known, d keen student of the game and a lcvel-headed manager, Is not being swept away with the success of the exhibition contests.
 "Yes, my team does look pretty good and I am much pleased at the showing we arc making, but l would trade six of these victories for any one gam" during the sea son." ho laughingly replied.
 "I have a young club and it is ambitious, Young players respond more quickly to spring training. My pitchers seem u little farther advanced than the opposition. Ina, explains our spring success.
 "l am glad to be able to win con- sistcntly in these exhibition games, because it is supplying my club with q confidence in is ability hat should help Us during the season."
 When you talk ponnaur, HancraN interrupts with H that's what l am shooting at but l have no thoughts for 1926 ( We are on the way, how ever"
 Since taking charge Of the Boston club the Braves haze shown steady improvement under his direction. Last season the club finished at the top of the second division and was playing as good ball as any team in the leaGuc when the curtain was rung down.
 Tt is really remarkable how some slight change can bolster up a bail club" said Bancroft as he con- tinucd 10 discuss his tam. "Takc, for instance, the signing of Second Baseman Walter CautrcaM
 "Whcn Connie Mack turns a ball player loose, the opinion is general that he isn't quite ready. Nccd- 1 ing assistance at ScconI I took d chance on the former Holy Cross star.
 "Litrc Cat at once became tho spark-plug of our team. Hes never going to be a Rogers llornsby at the bat but he welded togcthcr our inficld in a most effective man ner."
 "Who is the best looking youngstcr on your ball cIub?' l asked.
 'I have several promising rc- cruits but ] lean strongly 10 the pitcher warming up over there" He pointed to q husky athlete by the name of Wcrtz, with Worcester last season.
 That boy is going to be q great pitcher. As q matter of fact, he is pretty good right now. l look for him 10 win lot of bah games"
 Later as 1 watched him toy with the Washington club for three in- nings, l could see the wisdom Of Bancrofts speech.
 There Is no outstanding star on inc Bosto Braves, with the exception Of Manager Bancroft yet it im- pressed me as a wcll-rounded club
 The Braves look like the dark horse in the National. The Braves may emulate the fcats Of the 1914 team. However, il would be dini- cult to concrdc tho club 8 chance tc beat Pittsburgh New York and St. I.ouis, and then there is also Gin cinnati.
 Fourth place would hr a source ot great delight 10 Manager Bancroft. : And i;'s not beyond The bounds of reason.

THE end cylinders of the average motor

1t is due to wet gas. Liquid drops of gaso-
line separate from the mixture at every bend
of the manifold and concentrate at the end
cylinders That is why the spark plugs of the

than the others. 1t is the visible evidence of
wet gas.
Wet gas means imperfect combustion,
loss of power, an excess of deadly carbon

flow of fuel and power to every cylinder.
Engineers have long tried to produce this
ideal gasoline. The Texas Company with its
new Holiness anley process has succeeded.
The results:-Better combustion and
more power. Maximum acceleration without
flooding. A quicker start. Less crankcase
dilution and no fouling of spark plugs.
Carburetor adjustment is not essential
you will get better results IN any event, but
still better with the lean mixture that the new

And you will notice the gain in mileage,
the better hill work and freedom from knock

STATE BANKERS HEAR PLEA FOR
TAX REDUCTION AND THRIFT
ANNUAL MEETING OF ASSOCIA-
TION HELD AT REHOBOTH
Walter w. Hynson, Smyrna, Chosen a
Member of Executive Committee
-E.G. Walls, SMYRNA. Gets Place

Reduction of taxation, particularly
in the State, increased thrift by the
people, and advocation of law per-
mitting reciprosity on inheritance
taxes were the outstanding features
of the annual State Bankers Associa-
tion meeting at Rehoboth Thursday.
Speaking from a local point of view,
Senator Thomas F. Bayard declared,
"The State of Delaware is overburd-
ened with bond issues" "some of these
may be worthy in purpose but we
should not indulge in them to such a
great degree. Our purpose now should
be to try to reduce them. We should
practice statewide thrift, an unknown
realm to most of US. You bankers
are the financial advisors of the peo-
pie and should advise them against
bond issues. ''There must be cooper
alton between the bankers and the
people for if we fail to accomplish
this we. shall be riding to a fall. In
creased taxation is the result of in
creased public Indebtedness. The peo-
pie are largely responsible for the
burden. If we perform, therefore,
our individual duties of cooperation
and thrift, we shall not have this bur
den to bear" Following Senator
Bayard, Representative Robert G.
Houston, in discussing the banking
system of the State for many years
back, pointed out the fiourishing CON
dition of Delaware financial institu-
tions today He declared the banks
which, in the early days, dealt in
thousands of dollars, now are dealing
in millions and said the result to
sound economy by Delaware banking
officials. Other speakers were Cover
nor Robinson, Ralph Parlette, of
Chicago, Frank Spencer Edmonds, of
Pennsylvania, John S. Russell and 9TH
ers. The following officers were elect
ed for the coming year by the State
Bankers Association: President,
Thomas R. Ingram, Sussex Trust

TELEPHONE RATES REDUCED
Diamond State Telephone Company
Announces New Schedule for Oct. l

Important changes involving a gen
eral readjustment of long distance tel
ephone rates, and in the evening and
night period during which reduced
rates apply, are announced by The
Diamond State Telephone Company to
become effective October 1. See ad-
vertisement. in another column. These
service and rate changes are part of
broad plan for service improvement
which will result in a saving to the
telephone users of the United States
of approximately $9,000,00O year.
To points one hundred and fifty or
more miles distant the rates are sub
stantially reduced-the greater the
distance, the greater the reduction.
A few rates for distances between
twenty-four and one hundred and ten
miles will be increased to make the
schedule consistent throughout, but in
these cases the increase of the basic
station-to-station rate will be not
more than five cents. Coincident with
the change in the rates, the period
during which reduced rates will
apply on station to station calls
will be heightened by one and one-half
hours. Reduced rates on station-to-
station calls will begin at p. m. in
stead of $50 pm. as formerly. Be
tween Z p. m. and $50 p. m. the rates
will be approximately rs per cent of
the day station-to-station rates, and
from $50 p. m. to 4.30 a. m. about
so per cent of the day rates. These
discounts will apply where the day
station-to-station rate is 40 cents or
more, with a minimum reduced rate
of 35 cents. Because of the unsatis-
factory service conditions which it
brought about, the existing midnight
discount is discontinued. Under the
new schedule Standardization calls
may be made at substantial reductions
as early as z p. M, and persons wish
ing to take advantage of the lowest
rates of the "a hours may make their
calls any time after $50 p. m. Thus
although the midnight discount is
discontinued the longer reduced rate
period and the substantial reduction
applying in basic rates to distant
points mean that this change will
make little difference in the cost of
night calls. Another change vel
coined is the extension of the privilege
of reversing charges to include station
-to-station calls-whether placed dur
ing the day, evening or night-where
the rate is 25 cents or more In the
last few years the use of long distance
service has been increasing constantly
and many situations now arise where
the reversal of charges is of advan-
tage to the customer who calls for a
certain number. Hence this privilege
is an added convenience and saving to
the public. Further information as to
the new long distance rates and prac-
tees are obtainable at the local offices
of the Telephone Company.
