Su- zanne Lenglen' planned to see a base ball game today for the first time. She expected to attend the contest between the Glants and the Cardinals at_the Polo Grounds., “Ever since I became interested in sports I have been eager to see your great American game,” she said, “It might surprise Americans to know that we in France read much con- cerning the national sport of this country. The fame of your Babe Ruth is well known to us. We have heard a great deal of other noted players such as Speaker and Cobb and Hornsby.” If the condition of Mile. Lenglen continues to improve, it is likely that she will play in exhibition doubles matches in Boston next Monday. The French titleholder is greatly pieased at the improvement reported by her physician. Applications for staging exhibition matches will be held in abeyance, ending the complete recovery of Mile. Lenglen, when the extent of her tour will be determined. BARS DARNEILLE BOUT New Haven Board Declares Pro- posed Battle With Brennan ‘Would Be Uneven.

In the selection of fuel these slight dif- ferences are of great importance, for it is the “food” which must overcome the influence of small varia- tions in the habits of the engine. The surest way to approach efficiency is through consistent use of a uniform, high-quality gas. Once you have accustomed your motor to the proper mix- ture of a uniform gasoline,smooth running is assured and you will have rid yourself of many motor troubles. Some repair jobs may be directly traced to the use of poor fuel. You cannot go wrong in the consistent use of our “Standard” Motor Gasoline.
