II INSTEAD of Just one crucial"
series, two were offered for
the entertainment of major
n league fans today and both
of them involved New York
teams.
While the Yankees we're regaining
the American League lead yesterday
through a partial fracture OF the Fri
day the thirteenth jinx which brought
them a 4-to-2 triumph over Detroit's
Tigers. the Giants we're warming up
for a five-game setto with the second
place Chicago Cubs by increasing
their National League margin to two
games.
The Giants, after gaining an early
lead through the Slugging of Frank
ODoul and Joe Moore, barely lasted
10 beat the Pirates Z to In the series
final, but at the same time the Cubs
went down by the same count at Bos-
ton. Between them, ODoul and
Moore took care OF six Giant runs.
the former hitting one Homer. the
latter two. In the same way wally
Berger started Boston on It's winning
rally, clouting his twentieth homer to
open a four-run burst in the seventh.
Babe Starts Scoring.
THE days big battle, which re-
Il turned the Yankees to their
half-game lead. was largely an
occasion for Babe Ruth to win the
plaudits of a throng OF $4,000. The
Babe started the scoring in a mound
duel between Red Rufflng and Tommy
Bridges by socking hts fourteenth
homer of the year-his seven-hun-
dredth in more than 20 years of big
league ball-and Bill Dickey knocked
in the other two runs.
Despite the double cause for cele-
bration, 1t was bad day for the
Yanks, because Lou Gehrig was forced
out of action, threatening his record
streak which ran to l 1,426 games when
he took part in a couple of innings.
An acute cold In his back caused Lou
so much trouble that he retired in the
| middle of the second frame.
Washington's Senators took an
even more severe blow In the course
of a 3-to-2 triumph over Cleveland
that left them only half game be-
hind the losers. Johnny Stone, set
ting the hitting pace In the early in
nings, suffered a fracture OF his left
ankle going into second base In the
third inning and may be lost to the
club for the rest Of the season.
Ferrell Beats Browns.
TINE third American League con-
test saw Wesley Ferrell take
personal charge Of Boston's
.7-to-2 victory over the Browns, pitch
ing effectively and socking two home
runs that accounted for four tallies.
The remaining National League
affair, with the Philadelphia Chicago
contest in the Americafi and St. Louisa
Philadelphia in the National rained

Cincinnati slammed out a big lead
against Brooklyn. driving old Tom

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 5.-The

General Assembly like IN unwelcome

Democratic chieftains, confident of

the measure as an Endorsement of
President Roosevelt'S recovery pro-

the Federal administration, hitherto
always shy toward the Illinois Demo-

ception to men not identified with the
State organization.
But the Democratic leaders failed
to count on the militant Republican
minority that has been beating the
bushes for an issue ever since ma
jority control was lost in the Roose-

45 MILES AN HOUR
 TESTS BRAKINC
l5O Horsepower Needed to Stop at Above
 Speed

Forty-fve miles an hour is not fast. No, no. no! Ask any motorist. Why that is meyely his normal cruising speed on the open road! Now, sixty miies an hour may be approaching real speed, but cer- tainly not for'y1ive.
 Perhaps the general attitude re- garding forty-five miles an hour might be modified if motorists were to think of it in terms of en- ergy; let us say the energy involved in stopping the car from that rate.
 To get this picture, assume car weighing 5000 pounds and having an engine horsepower of 75. It did not require a maximum outlay of the engines power to bring the car to the speed in question. Fifty horsepower could do it fairly easi- ly. But that fifty horsepower will ably safe distance.
 No, indeed, it will not. To bring the car to stop within a distance of ninety feet which is not asking too much wit h respect to safety, vious then that the brakes have to ue Ntotly PoNSllui tiiS engine of motor car.
 Consider some of the other phases of this energy problem. How many pounds of pressure must be generated at the brake ordinary stopping feat? Just mere 1G,S00 pounds. This braliing energy. of course, takes the form nf t.ff lnt p Ia If, for instance, it were applied to ut a temperature of seventy de- grees, the boiling point, in just two and three quarters seconds.
 Large figures. these Much larger than the basic forty-flve With which we started. However. they are what the forty-nve translates horsepower. 1e. 800 pounds of pres pints of ,tepid water in two and three-quarters seconds.
 Among engineers and other sci entific. groups, the sentiment holds that were motorists to get a sense of these larger. figures they might have more respect, consideration and sympathy for that secondary power system with which their cars are equipped; namely, the brakes. The fact Is that although possessed of. more power inherent ly than the engine the brakes are inclined to lose it more rapidly through abuses. The engine goes on for years being capable of deliver ing pretty close to maximum of performance but unless it is match ed by a similar capacity on the part of the brakes, the motorists situation is far from a happy or safe one.
 Carefully analysed, forty-five miles an hour is fast. for 1t takes l5O horsepower to stop it.

DEMONSTRATION
 PROVES NEW CARS
Eye Appeal Only Part Of Unlimited Value
 This Year

If you havn't taken demonstra ton in it you don't know the latest car.
 So declares the automobile man ufacturers, fearful lest the motor ist assume the current car is mere eye appeal. TO break down "dem : onstration resistance q number of ,, mented with. resulting in thou sands of surprised prospects and an increasingly greater number of sales.
 One of the leading car makers IS stressing, demonstrations in all Of his advertising copy. Another tells the public it doesn't know anythin.; about the car until it has taken tho wheel. Unusual is the invitation sent to 100000 owners over the personal signature O. the president of famous producer of high grad. cars. Embodied in this executives let ter is the reason for the campaign for demonstrations. We have ac- complished many new engineering and manufacturing wonders since some 100000 members of our fam. fly bought their last cars," runs the missive ''Wc want every one to know of these wonders. Won't you present the enclosed card to your distributor or dealer, take the demonstration we have arranged for you and then write and tell me what you think of our new cars?
 Blocking this commendable cam paign by the makers is the public's lack of experience in making dem onstrations practical. Much will have to be learned by the prospect before it will be helpful to him to take the wheel. At present the demonstration Is too much of q mild joy ride. frequently enveloped in conversation ana often conduct ed where the motorist can have no possible conception of why the car Is superior.
