TEAMS nor CONSISTENT


For utter lack of consistency, the
season of 1927 will go down in base
bali history as one of the most un-
usual races ever staged in the big
league.
With the exception of the New York
Yankees, no other club in the majors
has been anywhere close to being con-
sistent, not even the four-pennant
contenders in the National league.
The Chicago Cubs have come near
est to holding to a steady gait, but
even McCarthyS club has had its un-
pleasant moments, such as the loss of
double-headers and the dropping of a
number Of games that seemed in, by
having the opposition score three or
more runs in the ninth to win.
Both the st. Louis Cardinals and
New York Giants were slow starting,
while Pittsburgh slipped up several
times when an opening presented a
chance for the Pirates to take the
lead.
The Boston Braves, aided by
Pitcher Kent Greenfield, have
played havoc with Pittsburgh.
Since the Smith Bancroft fight, the
Braves have been thorn in the
side of Pittsburgh. Queer re-
venge.

DODGE STRESS
CAS- ECONOMY
New Tours Make rs Miles
on Gallon.

One of the problems of the auto
motive engineer is to design motors
which will permit greater gasoline
economy. Experiments along this
line are being made constantly, and
remarkable successes attained.
The latest claim of unusual econ
omy is by Dodge Brothers for their
new four-cylinder cars, which are
being advertised as capable of 60
ing approximately twenty-five miles
on a gallon of gasoline at a speed
of twenty-five miles an hour. F. l..
Sanford of F. L. Sanford Company,
Dodge Brothers dealer, states that
since the new cars were introduced
practically every one who has eX-
amined them has commented upon
this feature.
Several features in the cars de-
sign and construction are response
BILE for this exceptional fuel econ
omy," Sanford states. zone of the
most important is the lighter
weight of the cars. Naturally, with
less weight for the engine to move,
a considerable saving in gasoline is
accomplished.
Another contribution to econ
omy is made by the gear ratio,
which is lower than on former
Dodge Brothers cars. This means
that the engine makes fewer revo-
lutions in driving the car a mile
than were formerly required, there
by bringing about another saving"

OIL IN MOTOR PICKS
UP METAL PARTICLES

If you could see what goes on in
side your automobile engine you'd
be amazed at what happens to the
oil.
AS the oil circulates through the
bearings and moving parts, it is
constantly picking up fine particles
of metal, bits of dirt and other
abrasive material, according to G.
w. Mckinley, research engineer OF
the AC Spark Plug Company, who
says:
ITO prevent serious wear and 9TH
er trouble in the engine, this abra-
sive matter is being constantly re-
moved from the oil by the oil filter.

CAR statesmen
MAY ORGANIZE
I NATIONAL BODY
Washington Agents Take
Lead in Forming New
Association.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-If plans
now underway mature, motordon
can look forward to the launching Of
salesmen's association.
A series Of luncheon meetings held
by representative statesmen of the
national capital is chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for the launching of this move
ment.
These meetings grew out of a
need which the statesmen felt fol
some forum through which an inter-
change of helpful ideag would be
possible.
Meetings Popular
So successful were these meetings
that some months ago conversations
were begun which led to definite
steps toward the formation of a ma
tional organization which would give
to statesmen the country over SINH
lar advantages, and others which
would be the natural outgrowth OF
cooperation on a wider scale.
In order to carry out their plan
these statesmen appointed Philip E
Banfleld, veteran in the Washing
ton automotive field, to take the pre-
liminary steps which would bring
the thought closer to definite reali-
cation. The name selected for the
new organization is the National Au-
tomotive Salesmen's Association.
Present plans call for establish
ment of permanent headquarters in
Washington, D. 9.
Exchange Ideas
Those sponsoring the endeavor
feel that such an organization will
bring to the automotive statesmen
of the country a tangible assistance
through free interchange of plans
Ideas and methods.
The organization will assume a
position in the automotive field
along with the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce, the Ameri-
can Automobile Association, the
National Automobile Dealers Asso-
citation, the Automotive Equipment
Association and the Society of Auto
motive Engineers.

Tail Light
BY Swede Swanson

Attached spotlight or ditch light
to some fellows car and he seems
to get the peculiar notion that he
can step on the gas more freely al
night.
Put chains on your tires in slip
perry weather, and If you're not
cautious you'll begin to rely toe
much on those chains for safety
That's true in the case Of other
safety devices. They seem to en-
courage recklessness.
Chains, however, can skid on wet
pavement. A bump In the road
might throw the ditch light off its
proper angle and make it almost
useless. Any number of accidents
might occur, despite safety ap-
planes.
On the other hand, the man
without chains is more cautious on
rainy days, in the knowledge of
this fact. The man without a spot
light drives more slowly and care
fully at night.
That doesn't obviate the useful
ness of these devices. For they as
sure safety where safety already is
being practiced. They require, for
efficient use, the cooperation of the
driver in the way of constant watch
fitness and careful driving.

Marshall, branch manager Of the

at an altitude of 1000 feet and
travelled eighty-five miles per hour.
After the first few minutes in the
air, all fear was gone, or the writer
might be truthful and say almost
gone.
