Latest, Best and Most CUBS AND CARDS GO THRTEEN 0 DRAW Darkness Ends - Sc2-he With 133 for Neither. St. Louis, May 12.—The Cardinals jand Cubs battled thirteen innings yesterday to a 5 to 5 tie, the game being called on account of darkness. The Cardinals rallied in the ninth \and got the two tying runs off Lav- ender, who had relieved Pierce. In the latter innings each team got run- imners to third frequently. Lee Magee, trying to steal in the eleventh, was tagged our by Sweeney with what he considered unnecessary force. A fist fight followed in which Magee was knockeu down. Several |players hurried to second base and {for a time it looked as if a free for ‘all was due. The umpires calmed ‘the belligerents and play was re- ‘sumed.

Chicago One Inning Enough, Philadelphia, May 12.—The Brook- lyns and Phillies did all their dam- age in the first and third innings, and as the latter did more damage in the third than Jake Daubert and his home run did in the first round the home team won by a score of 2 to 1. From that time on to wne finish the pitching of both Pfeffer and Alexan- der, ably supported in the field, was too much for the opposing batsmen and consequently the game was over in jigtime, -as there were no delaying features. Pfeffer gave the only pass in the game, and Alexander contrib- uted the only strikeout.

New York, May 12.—The Giants’ batters provided a four run lead twice for Fromme at the Polo grounds . yesterday. The New York pitcher /. didn’t stand prosperity any too well, but the free and earnest hitting of the Giants tided him over and the Bostons were beaten by a score of 8 to 6. With men on bases, Fromme swayed and nearly toppled.. His first four run lead was cut down-to noth- ing and his second of those dimen- sions was pruned down to two, but with the help of Marquard, whom the Braves couldn’t touch in ' the ninth, the tail ‘endmen weren't al- lowed to carry their nefarious oper- ations any further.

Hartford, May 12.—Hartford threw the hooks into Jerry Connell’s hired hands within the Clarkin stadium yesterday, and at .the same time leaped into first place in the Eastern association standing. Eight to six was the Senators’ margin of success fol- lowing one of the weirdest exhibitions ot baseball that has come to the at- tention of local fans in years. Costly errors, poor base running and weak twirling were crowded into the mat- inee performance. Hartford was bad erough—but New Haven was worse.

In a semi-floating type axle the axle bearings are lubricated from the differential side. The hub caps are used simply to finisnh off the wheel and serve as an ornament. They also serve to protect the axle shaft end nut. It is not necessary to remove them for lubricating purposes. ..

We presume you mean the five- mile hoard-track record. This record is held by Lee Humiston, who made the distance in three minutes and six and four-fifth seconds. He made this record Wwith .an Excelsior motorcycle at Los Angeles, Cal, December 30, 1912, « . Motoring Department, The Herald— How much oil should be put in the crank case at a time? A, Most engines have a pet cock on the side of the crank case, which determines the oil level. If not this, there should be a sight gauge or oil level indicator. Not knowing the type of motor you have, it is impos- sible to tell definitely the amount of cil necessary, except to state that there must be sufficient oil in the crank case to allow the connecting rods to dip in a bath of oil and splash the oil in and about the various bear- ings, including the cylinder walls. e Motoring Department, The Herald— I have a 1914 car with a Continental motor, which has been driven less than 2,500 miles, and everything is O. K. excepting that the oil in the crank case gets very hot, so much so that smoke comes through what I call the breathing pipe, although I drive the car with spark well advanced. Would you please inform me of the cause of this and a remedy? I have also changed the oil and washed out the crank case, and yet this happens after the machine has been driven ten or fifteen miles. Thanking you in advaace.—l. G. 8. ONE - TWO -THREE- FOUR — ONE — A. The fact that some smoke jssues from the breather pipe is not serious. Perhaps this is not smoke. It may be vapor due to the heat and splash- ing of the oil. If it is smoke, then it is possible that one of the' pistons is leaking slightly. 1f all the cylinders have good compression, and the motor has plenty of power, there is no cause for alarm. The fact that you have driven the car 2.500 miles without trouble clearly indicates that the mat- ter is of small importance, .. Motoring Department, The Herald— Could you give me the reason for the following trouble through your columns? I have an Armac mo- torcycle which heats up after riding about four or five miles. The valves and spark are timed properly, and there is no carbon in the cylinder, or on the piston, to speak of. Could it be poor regulation of the carburetor? It has a Heitger carburetor, the kind the factory puts on them. Awaiting | your answer, I remain, H. D. F. R. A, An over-rich mixture will cause the motor to overheat. Would sug- gest that you reduce the amount of gasoline used to a minimum. That is | tc say, use as little gasoline as pos- sible and as much air as possible. You may easily determine this by the action of the motor. If too lean a mixture is used the motor will back fire. You may easily eliminate the back firing by enriching the mixture gradually. Motoring Department, The Herald— Have a six-cylinder car—run about 12,000 miles. When the motor is idling it rolls considerably, often stall- ing. I am told that it would be at the expense of power to have this roll out. 1 would greatly appreciate your kind- ness if you would enlighten me on this matter. Yours thankfully, A. H. A. The roll or gallop in the motor is due to poor carburetion at slow engine speeds. The symptoms indi- cate too rich a mixture. If by mak- ing the mixture lean for slow engine speeds you do not obtain the proper results under other conditions it may be necessary to install a few new parts. Perhaps by using a smaller spray nozzle the annoyance may be eliminated. The roll you speak of, ! due to the mixture, will not affect | the power of the motor except that if. | you adjust the carburetor to elimi- nate this roll you can not obtain the proper mixture at higher engine speeds. Oftentimes by changing the specifications of the carburetor bet- ter results will be obtained at all engine speeds. Would suggest that you take this matter up with the dealer for the carburetor in your locality. . Motoring Department, the Herald— 1 have a car that heats—I1 have had the radiator cleaned as good as I couid and it still heats. Spark is all right, oiling system seems to be all right, but I have not done anything with the water jackets of the engine. Are the water jackets liable to clog by using hard water? If so, what would vou advise to use to clean water jacket and radiator or what would you ad- vise 7—L. W. A. If hard water is used in the cool- ing system a scale will form in the water jackets and in time cause over- heating. Solid caustic soda dissolved in water is often used to break, up this scale, which then can be flushed out. About twelve and one-half pounds of soda dissolved in five gal- lons of water will make a solution sufficiently strong to answer the pur- pose. This solution should "be al- lowed to stand for several hours, after which it should be drawn off and the whole system thoroughly flushed out. Considerable heat is generated when the soda is dissolved and the solution must be allowed to cool before using. 1t must be borne in-mind also that caustic soda will affect aluminum and should the water pump be made of aluminum, connections should be made so as to avoid the mixture reach- ing the pump. This may be easily effected by connecting a separate piece of hose from the cylinder manifold to the base of the radiator. . e Motoring Department, The Herald-— I am overhauling my 1910 car.

YALE LOOKS STRONG 10 DEFEAT HARVARD Prospects for Sueesss in 'Dual Nezt Never Brigh'er. years since Yale has had such a clever aggregation of athletics agthose to measure strides and . jumps with Harvard in the annual dual meet at the Stadium, Saturday. And not only are the Elis almost certain to win the more points in their clash with the Crimson, but should have very much to say about the win- ning of the intercollegiate champion- ships, May 29 and 30. University of Pennsylvania and Cornell will be the Biue's greatest rivals three ecke hence, With five places counting in the title games for the first time, it will require careful study on the pagfgef those coaches whose teams havi chance to win the championship: what events they select to place their men. It was pointed out by the writer a week ago that Yale had a remarkable team, and one which if well handled would be a real contender for scoring the greatest number of points, which means so much to both Cornell and Pennsylvania in the intercolhegiate meet.
