MILES per GALLON When you figure miles per gallon,_ there is no gasoline as cheap and efficient as SOCONY. Because SOCONY is not only pure and sign. powerful, but uniform. Every gallon is like every other gallon, no matter where you buy it —quick starting and chock full of energy. The SOCONY seal means that the gaso].ule it marks is the best that extensive sources of s ply and highly scientific refining can produce. SOCONY is so different from the inert mixtures that are often sold as gasoline that it pays to be par- ticular what goes into your tank. Say “So0-CO-ny” and look for the Red, White and Blue SOCONY Standard Qil Co. of New York | Athletics and Red Sox Play Tie.

Games May Be Postponed When the National Army Starts to Mobilize. When the from all four corners States, heading for the various can- tonments in the south, tie major league schedules are likely to suffer exceedingly. Indeed. it may be that no games will be played for a day or so until the clubs are able to make connections, writes Louis 4. Dougher in_the Washington Times. The r1ailroads of the country are sure to be taxed to the limit with the necessity of handling the thousands of new national army starts of the United soldiers. Already the bali clubs -have suffered to some slight extent, but during he last week in August and the first week in September the jam on the railroads will be unequaled in their history. Many clubs will find themselves side- tracked, especially those in the west.

They want to obviate the difficulties as far as possible, but they know that they are in for a hot time. Traveling for baseball clubs has been rough all season. The Griffmen, for one team, have generally been late every time then went anywhere. Other clubs have had similar experiences The policy of-retrenchment ad3pted by so many railroads this summer has | caused a lopping off of many sleeping cars and it is not strange now for ma- | jor leaguers to hawe to climp into up- per berths, something scorned until this season Dining cars thes are also becoming scarcer #2nd their offeriggs not so toothsome.

Althouzh I had hunt- ed in the field and had done cons able rifle shootingz, 1 had never trapshooting. I watched the shootir for several days and finally 1 was in- duced to try it. It was with consider- able effort and pain, t0o. as my gun did not fit. I shot at 50 targets and did not break one. lLater that day I shot raightawavs' and succeeded eak.ng three muiden effort brought from one of fellow could not and never will.” mark annoved me as much as forth this observers flock of h re to hit the targets, for it wasn't a pl nt feeling to me to know that others could break the clay tarzets and I could not.

In the past eight vears I have me- thousands of trapshooters and with very few ex- ceptions T am glad to know them and include them among my friends There is no sport in tne. world in which the spirit of competition is more fair or where the standard of sports- manshin is higher than in trapshoot- ing. It is the fool fellowship among the competitors and the appeal of a sport which is fair and ciean that Is accountable for the marvelous increase in_the popularity of trapshooting.
