CH|S0X BAG GAME
WITH 3-RUN RALLY
Kreevich's Single Bounced
Over Third After Two Are
Out Turns Tide.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


THE bad hop that gave Washing
ton its only world champion
ship l3 long years ago came
oack TO haunt at that eerie spot
at third base yesterday. And this
time it hexed the Nationals when a
one-bounce smash by Mike Kreevich
OF the White Sox skipped weirdly and
dsastrously over Buddy Lewis head
Tor single, wiping out q Washington
lead and costing . 6-to-5 decision
to the Chicagos
1t all happened in the ninth inning
with two out and the Griffs leading
BY to 4. To 60 back few minutes
earlier, Washington held a So lead
gong into the last inning and Pete
Appleton was pitching.
Then Jackie Hayes singled. TONY
Piet, though, bounced to Appleton
and Hayes was forced for the tirst
out. Larry Rosenthal picked up
Merv Shea's bat and singled Piet to
third, but the Grif1s weren't worried
particularly.
Then kreevich Hits.
JIMMY DYKES sent Mule Haas to
swing for Vernon Kennedy. but
Manager Buck Harris met this strategy
BY yanking Appleton and inserting
sgd Cohen. 4 left-hander to pitch to
left-hander. Dykes promptly with
drew Haas and sent up Luke Sewen,
whose long fly to center scored Piet.
This brought up Rip Radcliff, who
singled Rosenthal to second, but two
were out and Cohen needed only to
get Kreevich, who finally sent his
smash to third
Lewis reached for the ball but It
took of and tipped into left for a
single instead of a third out. On
the hit Rosenthal raced home with the
tying run and a moment later Dixie
Walker singled to drive across Rad
cliff with the winning run.
Thus was the most powerful hocus-
pokus in the American League exerted
again. The Mats simply can't win
from the White Sox. The Yanks?
Just a breeze, by comparison. The
Tigers, Indians, Red sox? Ditto.

HEAT OF BRAKE DRUMS
TESTS EQUALIZATION

Are you satisfied that the service
people did a good job of the brakes?
Do you wonder if the brakes are prop
erly equalized?
If SO, remember this rule: Just apply
the brakes vigorously for few quick
stops. Then get out and feel the
barke drums. If there is any ap-
preciable lack of equalization one or
two of the drums will be hotter than
the others.

tires, as that would transfer the
braking surface to the tire treads
and thus defeat the plan of the test.

SERVICE IS INDEX
TO DRIVER WORTH
Care of Machine and Care
on Road Are Linked by
Psychological Tests.

Vaguely recognized for some time as
an important factor in safety the
service a car receives may soon be
recognized as the index of its owners
worth as a driver. The care of the
car, according to the latest psychology
cal view of the matter, is unmstakably
linked with care in driving.
Followers of this theory point to
such practical facts, as the observa-
ton that drivers who do not make
their tires squeal by wearing them
excessively on turns, do not take the
curves fast enough to endanger their
own and others lives. Drivers who
get best gas and oil mileage do not
firt with the higher speed brackets.
Retarding general acceptance of this
theory is the belief that only rela-
lively small percentage of cars is
involved in accidents because of de-
fective mechanism. Admittedly the
great improvement in manufacturing
and the higher factor of safety built
into each and every part of the mod
ern car makes it less likely to fail
its owner, but this has blinded OBJ
servers to the fact that most cars
involved in accidents show marked
evidences of neglect. 1t is the same
careleSsness with respect to the cars
welfare that becomes the underlying
cause of the accident.
Comparatively rare is the wreckage
of the well-cared-for car. Most of
the smash-ups involve cars that have
been carelessly owned. The simple
psychology of it is that these cars
become carelessly driven. 1t is of
secondary importance whether lack
of service on the car actually accounts
for the trouble which follows, and
should be so viewed when trying to
make an analysis of accident statis-
tics. 1t is enough that the drivers
attitude should be proven to be
warped as best evidence by his neglect
of the car.

Tests Show High
Speeds Cut Down
Mileage of Fuel

Operated at a speed of 35
miles per hour an average of IL
popular makes OF cars in the
$1,000 and under class are ca
pable of delivering 1875 miles per
gallon. At so miles per hour the
mileage drops to slightly less
than 16. Adding 10 more miles
per hour cuts the fuel mileage
to a mere IL.
The cost of unnecessary fast
driving is even more pronounced
in the case of oil mileage. At
35 miles per hour one car shows
an oil mileage of $500 miles per
gallon. At so the mileage is only
900. That extra 10 miles per
hour drops the oil mileage to 500.

AUTO CLUB LISTS
ACCIDENT CAUSES
Lack Of Confidence and Over
confidence Included Among
Reasons for Mishaps.

Everybody oeplores automobile acci-
dents, but few persons seem to realize
the underlying causes of highway
smash-ups. The Keystone Automobile
Club offers the following summary OF
causes, based on local and national
experience:
/. Lack Of confidence or over
confidence. Ovef-confidence is usu-
ally found among young drivers and
leads to chance-taking.)
2. Failure to signal (by horn, hand
signal, position of car, etc.
3. Cutting in and out (serpentine
driving may save few seconds, but
the accident risk is too great)
4. Passing on curves and near the
crest of hills.
5. Failure to stop at trific lights
and stop signs.
6. Passing on the right side.
7. Passing standing street cars or
driving through safety zones.
g. Driving after drinking intoxicat-
ing beverages.
9. Ignorance Of the motor vehicle
laws.
10. Driving on the Wrong side of
the road.
IL. Driving off the roadway.
IL. Mechanical defects.

USE OF LOW TO CLIMB
MOUNTAINS ADVISED
Possible Strain on Engine by
Continued Use Of Second
Gear Likely.

In very hilly country where the
grade is too much for high gear
the safest rule is to climb in low.
Modern second gears are higher than
their predecessors, so that it is easily
possible to strain the engine in that
gear combination. Modern lows are
high enough so that they do not over
heat the engine for prolonged climbs.
If obliged to stop the car in a
driving rain it is well to keep the
engine running, being careful that
exhaust fumes do not enter the car.
Keeping the engine running is the
best way of preventing tieup with
wet ignition.
1t is a good plan to remember that
a curve in the mountains is likely
to be on a grade. In addition to
slowing down for the turn you may
also have to decelerate for the down.
grade.

Carhuretor Mixture Fixed.

Because of the use of fixed jets in
the carburetor of the modern car
there is little the driver can do by
way of adjusting the mixture for the
engine. There is simple idling ad-
justment which may need attention
occasionally. For marked changes
in the mixture it is necessary to
change the size of the high-speed jets.
The automatic choke attends to the
matter of keeping the mixture richer
for a long period when the engine is
being started cold.

Habits of Woman Driver.

A survey of the driving habits OF
the two sexes showed that women
drive faster than men in summer, but
slower in winter. There are several
explanations, the most plausible be-
ing that women are not worried by
highway dangers or the possibility of
being caught for speeding, but they
are awed by the fear of skidding. The
report also showed that in cold weather
less than 10 per cent of the cars are
operated by women, whereas in sum-
mer the percentage increases to II.
