CINCINNATI LANDS AT

Reds Ride Rough Shod Over Robins-CardinaIs Are Idle - Pittsburgh Wins From Giants - Phillies Down Chicago Cubs - American League Game Washed Out By Rain-Crucial Series Starts Today Between New York Yankees and Cleveland
E. ths AssncLated PTess.

 The greatly coveted pinnacle was in complete possession of Cincin- natl today with St. Louis trailing by half a game in the National league race for pennant honors.
 Showing no mercy, the Reds rode rough shod over the Robins yester- day for the fourth consecutive time and won by to l. Forced idleness prevented the Cardinals from an op- portunity to keep abreast of the Redland ball tossers but the Pirates weathered the pace by subduing the Giants, , to Q, and are two and one- half games from the top.
 Cincinnati has Il games to go, the Cards 12,
 By his own request, Carl Mays assumed the pitching burden and let Brooklyn down with five hits, The victory was the 17th over the Robins this year and the Reds sought to make clean sweep Of the present series in the final contest this afternoon.
 Ray Kremer held the Giants help less. yielding but four hits in the shutout. The Pirates shelled Me Ouillan off the mound in the first in ming during four run rally. Be fore the game was ended, McGraW utilized Joe Poetz, a young right handler from the Portsmouth club or the Virginia league. By a strange coincidence kremer emulated Mea- dows' no-hit performance Sunday through six and two thirds innings. As in the Sunday game, Frankie Frisch beat out an inneld tap for q safety.

Challenger Greatly Beneftted

Stroudsburg. Pa, Sept. 3 P- Gene Tunney returned to boxing to-
 day with more benefit from his days
 rest yesterday than has been the
 case after any single period of in activity since he started his prepar-
 ation for the big rance in his pro-
 fessional life.
 The challenger needed rest and
 got it In plenty. He returned to the ring with yigor and declared that
 he felt grea+

 cure the services of Jimmy Bronson, the beginning of the training season that Gibson and Trainer Lou Fink
 would he in the contender's corner
 with Lou Erik just outside but the | third man in the actual corner was
 an item In which Tunney was much
 interested. The challenger and Bron-
 son were friends in France and Tun- lney has great respect for his knowl-
 edge of the boxing game.
 i Fink and Bronson will do the ac-
 1,o, of nI ha tween rounds. Gibson will give ad-
 vice and hold the watch if he does not break it in his enthusiasm. ! VNIanager Gibson admitted that he had but one worry and that has been disposed of. The director of
 the challenger's destinies outside the
 ring was afraid that his boxer might
 get "too fine" Gibson suggested that the menace of going stale was ser ious one and he wanted Tunney on
 edge the night of the fight. The boxer rounded into form so rapidly that his manager feared he might
 reach the ultimate point of perfec- ton and go back instead of forward. | This he has found Tunney knows i how 10 prevent. The boxer is d great | judge of his own condition and is taking no chances. The frequent periods for rest and recreation are taking care of that. Tunney works only when he feels he needs 1t and i his training camp program is sub- ject to change without notice. 1 Gibson declared he Is as. confident i as the superlatively confident Tun-

 can't keep him down. Tunney has the will to rise and if the cham pion does floor him he will get up again
 and will ultimately knock Dempsey out"
 i The first two rounds may force the challenger to call on his game ,heart, Gibson thinks, but after that ithe going will be easier and the fifth
 or sixth round should see a new champion crowned.

BUILDING PROGRAM
TO CLOSE STREETS
Planning Board Studying
Which Blocks May Be
I Dispensed With.

A special study TO determine how
the street plan should be arranged in
the triangle between Pennsylvania
avenue and the Mall in connection
with the carrying out of the public
building program is being made by a
committee of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The commission is not concerned
with the question of where this or that
particular building should be placed,
that being a matter for the Public
Buildings Commission to decide in
consultation with the Fine Arts Com
mission. The city planners are con-
fning their study to such problems as
the width of streets where a. block or
two of existing roadway can be closed
without difficulty, and thes height of
the new buildings from a Zoning
standpoint.
One official Of the commission said
there are undoubtedly enough streets
running through the section between
the Mall, Pennsylvania avenue, the
Capitol and Fifteenth street to close
certain blocks not through thorough
fares.
Little r street, for example is to
be closed in connection with the
Internal Revenue Building. This
street parallels at close distance B
street, which is to be widened into a
spacious boulevard from the new Ar
lington Memorial Bridge To the Cap
itol.
Another block that the city plan
ners might consider could be closed
without seriously affecting traffic is Il
street between Fifteenth and Four
teenth, which strikes a dead end at
the District Building. In discussing
building plans for the tract of land
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. some thought has been given to
leaving traffic archways through the
structures where it is decided an ex-
listing east-and-west street should be
retained.
Maj. U. S. Grant, Sd, director Of
public buildings and public parks,
said the Park and Planning Commits
sion is studying these questions FROM
the viewpoint of professional city
planners and the conclusions reached
will be merely of an advisory nature,
TO be submitted to those Government
officials who are in charge of the
building program.

10. 1862. Tn and Down the Grades.

No. 1872. Up and Down the Grades.
Thoroughly familiar with climbing
hills, descending them and conducting
the car over leyel ground, Smith was
somewhat surprised to, learn that
there was another type OF general
driving to be considered.
This is grade driving. In between
hills and the level are many miles OF
street and highway that tip slightly
one way or the other. Sometimes. if
the car is laboring, it may seem like a
hill. Or, if the engine is running well,
it may seem like a billiard table. But
it is neither a hill nor the level, and
requires special attention.
Let's go up it first. An upgrade is
| likely to prove a gas WaSter unless
one is aware of the conditions and is
mentally equipped to compensate for
this tendency. This is due to the drag
ging action of the car, a condition
which may not be noticeable TO the
driver.
my car always runs exceptionally

planned ut doesn't seem to be so

Process Proves WastefuI.
The explanation for this is that the
car is dragging on the engine under
such conditions. 1t is the usual thing
and it's WaSteful process. Because
the car drags, all slack in the clutch.
transmission, drive line and rear end
is taken up. Also the cylinders are
consuming more gas, winch overcomes
any tendency toward misfiring, as
would be the case If the car We're be-
ing driven on level ground on too lean
a mixture. An excess Of gas, applied
during one of these dragging spells,
tends to offset miStiring caused by a
lean mixture or the failure Of plug
to fire properly.
Because a grade does not offer the
aspect of real HILL" | told Smith.
you are inclined to take 1t too easy,
just as you are apt to force the engine
too hard in order to climb q, steep hill.
Psychology, to a certain extent. You
will do we'll to remember that it saves
gas to run a little faster on the up
grade, so the car will gather a little
momentum of it's own and tighten the
burden placed upon the power plant.
"If the road is rough you will find,
further, that it pays to go little
faster on the upgrade, but little
slower on the down. Here's why:
If YOU run along too slowly on a
