SUNOCO AIDS TOURING
Local Branch Manager Says Good
Fuel Means Less Repairs"

Now that the summer touring
season is practically half finished,
automobile dealers are urging mo-
torists to have their engines check
ed and returned, according to Mr..
Robert Weir, Jr., the Sun Oil Com
pany's local branch manager. you
see," he explained "our business
brings us in contact with a large
number of automobile dealers and
they tell US that many motorists
are not bringing in their cars for
the minor adjustments and repairs
that become necessary every few
thousand miles. Of course" he
continued, "our Company is in the
gasoline business, and the more we
sell, the more we like it. But, at
the same time, we want our Gus
toners to get their moneys worth
out of Blue Sunoco as we know
they will if their motor is in top
notch condition. Many motorists.
driving their cars day after day be-
come so accustomed to the car that
they do not notice it is beginning
to show signs of sluggish action.
Loss of power, slow acceleration
and lack of speed are sometimes
caused by mechanical wear, but
you would be surprised at the num-
ber of cars which seem to be suf-
fering from these affections be-
cause of impaired electrical sys-
TENS. These conditions are hard
to diagnose and correct outside of
the skilled shop. For instance,
spark plug insulation loses some of
its efficiency with age and even
when the plugs are cleaned and
properly set, this will cause slug
gish ignition. That's why I say
motorists should have their cars
checked and tuned to get the most
out of them. We power pack Blue
Sunoco for fast acceleration, high
speeds and economical mileage. and
if the motorist will do his part in
keeping his motor in good mechan-
ical condition we are sure Blue
Sunoco will enable him to get
most satisfactory performance out
of his car

RULES FOR SAFE DRIVING
Suggestions Listed by L. L. Hopes
Based on Close Study of Accidents

Rules for safe driving, prepared
by the Safety Department of the
Delaware Automobile Association,
have been made public by Linnaeus
L. Hopes, secretary of the associ-
alton. He said these suggestions
to drivers are based on close study
Of accident causes. Observance of
each of the safety hints will un-
questionably result in a marked de-
crease in automobile casualties.
The rules follow:
Be continually on the alert and
keep your mind on your driving.
Give a signal to the car behind
when you intend to change your
course.
Be especially vigilant wherever
children are at play.
Watch the movements of other
vehicles because the other fellow
may do the wrong thing.
Obey all traffic signs and signals.
Drive with greater care between
the hours of p. m. and p. M,
the period of the day when the
large percentage of highway acci-
dents occur.
Operate your vehicle at night
only when the headlights are prop
erly focused.
Slow down at schools, railroad
crossings and street intersections.
Have your car inspected regular
ly-especially the brakes.
Keep in line when driving in con-
gested traffic and while approach
ing the top of a hill or a sharp
turn.
Don't drive when physically ex-
hausted; fatigue causes many acci-
dents.
Protect the reckless or needless
pedestrian by having your car un-
der control, prepared for any en-
ergency.
Drive on the right side of the
road.
Remember that your guests are
depending on you for their safety

DIZZY IS LIKELY.
To OPEN SERIES
FOR CARDS
BY GENE ROGUsKI

ST. LOUIS, Oct. left little
leeway in the matter of choosing
his starting pitcher in the first
game of the world series against
the Detroit Tigers, there appears
only one decision open to Frankie
Frisch, manager of the st. Louis
Cardinals, and that to select
Jerome CDizzy'D Dean.
Cagey and close mouther as
usual, Frisch has not committed
himself publicly, but even our
Aunt Minnie knows no one but
dizzy" Dean will start. 1t is
no longer a matter of mere
choice, but one rather of dire
necessity.
The Cardinals virtually won
their pennant on the strength Of
the Dean brothers effective pitch
ing. OF the two, Jerome IS the
more experienced and effective
therefore, the honor and duty OF
starting against Detroit in the
first game belongs to him.
Street Made Mistake
If F'risch takes example from
the Inflated decision of his prede-
cessor, "Gabby" Street, ne will
select Dizzy over Paul. Street, it
will be remembered, sent Paul
Derringer, first year man and
National League sensation, against
the Philadelphia Athletics in the
first game of the 1881 world series.
It looked like smart move on
the part of the then Cardinals
manager for about four and one
half innings. Then the Athletics
fell on Derringer and routed him
from the mound.
In other quarters it is insisted
Frisch may try a strategic move
and send william wild BilD
Hallahan to the mound in the
opener. This presumption is built
on the fact that Hallahan, en-
joying one of his good Streaks
last spring, had these same De-
troit Tigers breaking their backs
in two exhibition games trying
to hit his southpaw slants. Again,
it must be remembered that the
Tigers at that time had not been
convinced by their new manager,
Mickey Cochrane, that they were
a first division club. They were
tabby cats then, but take more
tanning now.
Besides Hallahan, there are
Tex Carleton and Bill Walker,
both good pitchers available, but
the final sitting, like the first
leaves Jerome Dizzy" Dean as
the logical candidate.

of a lifetime in being pitted
against Paul (former N. B. A.
champion), Frankie today was
the choice of many to defeat his
veteran opponent, and in doing
so automatically enter the select
circle of the worlds first ten
ranking 126-pounders.

A sensation following his upset

AFTER Win

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-The IRE
pressible Dean boys, Dizzy and
his little brother Paul, have as
sumed the dignity befitting the
star hurlers of a championship
team.
Dizzy, who hurled the Cardinals
to their fifth pennant in nine
years and yesterday recorded his
thirtieth victory OF the season
by shutting out the Cincinnati
Reds, 9 to 0, was strangely retl'
cent and modest today.
Asked what the Cardinals
would do to Detroit in the world
series, Dizzy replied:
"The DetrOiOt club is a good
ball team. This series is going
to be a hard fight, but you can
be sure we are going to give all
we have to win"
Paul, who can usually be relied
on to come through with a gem
or two on the ability of the Dean
brothers, let down reporters with:
Folks, we are going to fight
hard"
Manager frankie FriSch and
the Deans were a startling con-
trast to the rest of the team,
from the veteran DaZzy Vance
down to the rawest recruit in the
clubrooms after yesterdays game.
The trio were silent while their
mates yelled, pounded each other
and danced and sang in the
showers.
