TYP0S PLAYING PLAY FINAL WITH BROWNS AS MACKMEN REMAIN IDLE Poor Pitching, Sloppy Fielding and Ineffective Bat- ting Costs Nationals Another Game in St. Louis as A’s Again Lose to Tribe. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LOUIS, August 27.—After today's game the Nationals quit this city for the year and they'll not be sorry to go. They had a rosy time herc in May. bagging three of four games played with the Browns, but since then the Mound City athletes have been most ungracious hosts. Last month they beat the series. So the best the Champs can do here for the year is finish one game behind the opposition To do that, victory must come today, but unless the world base ball title bearers drag themsclves together hastily they are apt to get just what the Athletics got here—three KO's in a row. Beating pennant con- tenders seems to be the fore of the Browns these days. They do it with- out waste of time, too. And what they can't take by their own effor from the pennant contenders, the latter seem to hand them. Since the lead in the| STILL IN ST.

Bucky Harris plans to send to the | hill for the openinz game of the White Sox series Alex Ferguson, transfer from the Yankees, who did such effective pitching against the Tygers last Sunday. If Alex pitches up to the standard he established in his debut National will be difficult to beat.

When he stepped up to bat in the fourth, Harris had a few words with Owens regarding the latter's remark to Marberry about the pitcher’s man- ner of working. In the course of the argument Harris declared in no un- certain way that the umpire was not telling the truth, and got the *out” sign for so expressing himself. It was several minutes before Adams was sent to bat in place of Harris, and the delay irked Owens considerably. It seems that any action Ban John- son may take in the case would be due to the delay of the game after Harris was expelled rather than to the wordy war the manager had with the umpire.

Many gasolines are impure, adulterated and “doped.” They contain not only foreign particles, left in by improper refining methods, but injurious compounds as well. Sulphur is one of these. Gasolines that contain sulphur compounds often cause motor “ptomaine poisoning”. They burn incompletely—a residue remains that gums your valves and pistons. Sulphur also attacks your motor — and pits and eats into the highly polished surfaces. The sure way to prevent “motor-ptomaine™ is to put your motor on a pure Tydol diet. The pure food for motors Tydol contains no blends or compounds. Superior refining methods make certain that all impurities are kept out of Tydol. Every batch of Tydol is tested and tested and tested again by Tide Water chemists before it is shipped to our pumps. When you fill your tank with Tydol. you are sure of getting pure gasoline — gasoline that contains no harmful blends—gasoline that is rich in energy, alive with power. Fill up at any Tydol pump. They are nearly everywhere. TAYLOR-KORMAN OIL COMPANY DISTRIBUTORS Rosslyn, Va. Tel. West 3045 TypoL Economy GAasouine For full Tydol economy use Veedal mator ol
