MATHEWSON BENDS BUT NEVER BREAKS First Giizen of New Yark Disap- points Brooklyas. New York, May 5.—A hurricane batting streak by the Brooklyns in the ~fourth inning of yesterday’'s game at the Polo Grounds landed three runs for them pellmell, as well as hot off the griddle, but this was the only time they could make inroads into Mathewson’s pitching, and the Giants caught, passed and beat them.

Boston, May 5.—The Braves got back into the winning column by dewning the Phillies 10 to 7. Dooin’s | sluggers got away with a five run lead in the first inning because of Ru- dolph’s wildness and timely hitting, but the locals began punishing the ball steadily and, with the assistance of a few 'errors, overcame this and; to spare. A fine double play by Maranville and Schmidt together with a running*catch by Mann were the features.

St. Louig May 5.—The Browns de- feated the White Sox 1 to 0 in a pitch- ers’ battle between Baumgardner and Benz. The only score came in the sixth inning and resulted from a two base hit by Shotton along the right foul line and a single by Austin, on ““Big Chief” Bender, Who . Is Main. Prop of Athletics “Big Chief” Bender, the famous Indian pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics, is counted on by Manager Mack to shove the team into first place. Bender is the main prop of the Athletics’ hunling staff, and when Jack Coombs returns to the game next month the team will have one of the most formidable corps of twirlers in the major leagues.

Judge Remster Renders Decision Against Charles F, Hawkes, Indianapolis, Ind., May 5.—The tem- porary injunction obtained last week by Charles F. Hawkes of New York to restrain the officers of the Interna- ticnal Typographical Unjon from send- ing out the ballots for the biennial clection, to be held this month was dissolvedy by Judge Remster in the circuit court here last night. The court held that Hawkes, who alleged that he had been deprived of his rights to be a candidate for president by a ruling of the executive council of the organization had not shown nor alleged that there was any fraud in the council’s action. The court also held that it was doubtful whether Hawkes was quali- fied, under the rules of the union to be a candidate for president. The executive council ruled Hawkes off the ballot because he had been in arrears in dues during the year preceding his gnn?uncement as candidate for presi- ent. HANK O’'DAY A GREAT MAN. Cubs’ Manager Lauded in Booklets Given Out to Chicago Fans. Chicago, May 5.—The Cub schedule booklets, which are distributed gratis at the park, contain some interesting facts about Manager O’Day, probably inserted to help make the new boss popular with the fans. Here are a few squibs from the booklet: Manager O’'Day was Connie Mack’s batting partner. Manager . O'Day has played every position on the team but catch. Manager O'Day once pitched five games in New York in one week and won them all. Manager O'Day of the Cubs author of the foul strike rule. No one living knows more baseball than Manager O'Day of the Cubs. Manager O'Day of the Cubs was born within six blocks of the West Side ball park. Readers of the Cub schedule books also notice advertisements for Charley ‘Weeghman’s lunchrooms, his theater and billlard parlo® . Weeghman, the Federal promoter, had no ulterior motive in buying thig . advertising space probably, but merely duplicated the order he has given for several years. TWO SUSPENDED. Secretary John M. Heydler of the National league announced yesterday the suspensions of Catcher Fischer of Brooklyn and Manager Herzog of Cin- cinnati. Both these players were set down for three days for trouble with umpires. Fischer will be eligible to return to the game Wednesday and Herzog the following day. "Our Folks Use A lenwood You would if you knew about it (Continued From Eighth Page.) i turning over fast when using the high gear. o Motor Department, The Herald:, On coming down a steep hill would it be advisable to shut off the spark as well as the gas and leave her in high gear? Then I will be using mwy en- gine as a brake. By doing this I be- lieve I will be saving the lining on my brakes. Your answer will let me know if I am right or not. J. H. C. It is not good economy to do as you suggest. The replacing of the lining of the brakes is a simple matter. Us- ing the motor as a brake is not good practice. There are exceptional cases, however, where the brakes should be favored as much as possi- | ble. In descending long grades, | where the brakes have a tendency to ; overheat, then it is advisable to favor them as much as possible, cutting off the motor and using it for additional braking effect. P Motoring ‘Department, The Herald: Will you please answer theSe two questions in your paper? Where the “H-quadrant” is- used, how am I to know which way to'shift the lever for first, second and third speeds and reverse? Also is it ad- visable where the electric starter is used to advance the spark half way when starting? Constant Reader. Usually the “H-type” quadrant is marked. If it is not marked the quickest way to determine speeds is to start motor and then try one. This, of course, should be done with ! caution—that is to say, the clutch should be engaged very carefully. You could very easily determine the Jow gear or the high gear by the manner in which the motor attempts to pick up the load. If you are mnot sufficiently experienced, would sug- | gest that you jack up the rear wheels } as an extra precaution. If you do . not care to experiment with the gine running you can eercise your- self by cranking the motor with the gears in mesh. On starting on the battery it is ad- | visable to retard the spark. In start- ing on the magneto the spark should be advanced, e Motor Department, The Herald: Will you tell what is meant by a brake equalizer and why it is used? ——Amateur. The brake equalizer 1s a device which, when the brakes are applied, equalizes the pressure so that there will be no more pressure on the brake operating on the right wheel than there is on the left. It is ob- vious that when travelling on a slip- pery street one brake holding tighter than the other will cause the car to skid sideways, Most cars are equipped with brake equalizers, but it does not follow that the brakes will hold equally, because e¢ven though perfectly equalized, one of the brake bands may be more greasy than the other, and conseguently will not hold as well. P Motoring Department, The Herald: ‘Will you kindly publish in your next issue the answers to the following questions: 1. 1 have a Peerless car of 1910 model, and last fall I overheated the engine and burned out the packing around the water jagket. I purchased some packing and put white lead be- tween it and the cylinder, but it leaks considerably. Can you suggest a form of packing that will stop the leak? The screws that hold the jacket seem to loosen. Is it advisable to put white lead or other paint on the screws that would make them stick? The leaking water runs over and around the caps over the intake and exhaust valves. The water seems to bubble. Would that suggest that the valve covers are not tight enough? I took the covers off, cleaned them well, and put them back, but they still seem to leak. Would you suggest putting any kind of packing In there, and if so what kind? 2.

There is no way to serviceably vul- canize a hard rubber case of a stor- !age battery. If a temporary repair is ! made the acid of the electrolite will in a few days soak through.

My friend’s frame is much heavier a more substantial, and I would like to know whether it would be a very diffi- cult job to make the change. Can you'give me some information regard- ing this?—J. B. A. , It would be rather an expensive operation to install a new frame. In the first place yvou state that this frame is longer than the old one, which will necessitate the lengthen- ing of the wheel base of your car. This will entail considerable work and probably require a number of new very careful measurements; other- wise you may encounter problems in the midst of the work which will prove very expensive to overcome. Motoring Department, The Herald— Can you give me an idea of the approximate upkeep of a two-passen- ger runabout for constant service? I should like to buy one, but do not want to until I know about what the upkeep will stand me.—W. 8. \ The upkeep of such a car depends entirely upon the size of the car, the manner in which it is handled, t | and the conditions under which it is/ operated. The larger the car the morc expensive to maintain. More fuel will It has broken three times and j b¢ consumed, larger and more expen- 4 of | Sive tires will be required, and the An in general upkeep will be greater. important factor is the manner which the car is handled. 1f you co na | template fast driving you must figure on greater tire expense and greater maintenance cost.

If you do not operate the car yours self you must also figure the cost for a chauffeur. By bearing this infor= mation in mind you ghould be able to approximately estimate what it will cost you. You may possibly be able to eliminaté or reduce a number of the above mentioned items. As stat- ed previously, the size of the car you contemplate using, the manner in which it will be handled and the con- ditions under which it will be operated are determining factors. M'GRAW SPIKES RUMOR.
