Expert, experienced care and strong, 91 Main St New York, Sept. 2.—The last full month of the 1917 baseball season be- gins with New York and Chicago still holding the leads in the National and American leagues, as they did a month ago. No great changes were eifected during tke past week and no serious oppositicn was offered to the leaders in_either league. New York's play in the National showed no marked improvement over the previous two weeks, the leaders winning three, losing two and tieing one. Playing Pittsburgh, the Giants won two out of three, - and against Brooklyn MoGraw's men won one, lost one and tied one. This week New York mects Philadelphia, the runners- up, in three consecutive double headers and on these games the penaant may depend. Philadelphia during the past week was able only to break even in c1x games, getting one out of three m St. Louis and two out of three —.— Boston. The wucsi, record of the week was made by Cincinnati, which won five games and tied one. Bostor was de- feated in three straight games and Mathewson’s men advanced to fourth place. On Friday Cincinnati tied Chi- cago 8 to 8 in eleven innings and on Saturday won two games from Mitch- el's men. St. Louis won five out of seven, three victories beini over Pitts- burgh. In addition to losing fourth place, Chicago, whicn won only one game during the week, found itself tied with Brooklyn on Saturday for the head of the second division.

In the American, Chicago had its most successful week since mid-June. The leaders were undefeated up to Sat- urday, when they lost to St. Louis. Previously the White Sox had won three straight from New York and four straight from St. Louis. Eighty- five hits were made by Rowland’s ‘men for a total of 51 runs while their op- ponents were able to cross the piate only 19 times. Today Chicago won a double hcader from Detroit. Boston, after dividing two games. against Detroit, met Philadelphia in a four-game series, winning three and tieing one. Because of the good work of the leaders, howe.er, the Red Sox did not gain on Cnicago. Cleveland and Detroit fought for the possession of third place the latter part of the week, but their series effected no change, ror did their week's work, as each clu> broke even in six games. New York continued to slump 2nd on Frida:, when it lcst two games to Vashington, it dropped to sixth place, the Senators taking the lead in the second division. During the week Washington won three out of four. EASTERN LEAGUE MAY GO OUT OF EXISTENCE -Badly Even Winners Have Drawn During the Past Season. There may be no Eastern league next season. If the war is not over by that time the minors the country over are likely to suspend for the season. Base- ball was hit hard everywhere this season. I the Eastern league pulls up stakes in Lawrence, as reported, there will be immediate agitation to revive the old New England league with lawrence, Lowell and Haverhill as thrce of the cities of the circuit. The attendance at Riverside park at Lawrence Monday was 506, while on Tuesday 470 paid in; 976 for two days with the mills closed! This would just about pay the routine ex- penses not to say anything of the sa].laries which is the largest item of ail.

Hartford _has drawn very poorly, but the team has been out of the run- ning all season. At the present time the club adorns the cellar position. Lawrence, however, has been a second or third ail season and at several times in a formidable positior to drive New Haven out of first place. If a win- ning club doesm’t draw what would happen in Lawrence if the Lawrence players were in Hartford's sho One thing that has hurt the law- rence baseball team this season has been the schedule, which is the poor- est any Lawrence team has ever been handed to it.

SPORTING NOTES Although George Burns' batting mark has slhrunk considerably in the past few weeks, the Giants' gardener is still strong in the base stealing and run getting departments. The Cardinals can't see anything but victory over the Browns in the the Browns figure they can continue St. Louis city series this fall, while to trim the Cards, come what may. To guarantee.ample fuel for army and navy needs and for the legitimate requirements of motor car users, na- tional automobile organizations have begun a ‘“save-gasolene” campaign among garages, dealers and owners. Co-operating in the movement are the National Automobile Chamber of Com- imerce, Society of Automobile En- |gineers, Motor and Accessory Manu~ {facturers and the American Automo- bile Association. Van H. Manning. director of the Bureau of Mines, said it is estimated the United States Army will need 350,- ©00,000 gallons of gasolene for air- planes, trucks, tractors, etc. He added: “Automobile owners need not lay up cars. but should use them eith- or for trade or pleasure purposes thoughtfully and judiciously. If this advice is followed there will be no un- due scasity, for the United States possesses an abundant supply for or- dinary purposes.” The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce is calling upon all manu- facturers in the country and upon about 27000 dealers, 24,000 garages :nd 13,000 repair shops to help in the movement to save gasolene. It is pre- aring a placard to be hung on the walls of service stations, garages and supply stations urging users to -econ- mize in the consumption of gasolene in the following ways: 1.—Do not use gasolene for washing or cleaning—use kerosene to cut the grease. 2—Do not spill_gasolene or let drip when filling it is dangerous and wasteful. 3—Do not expose gasolene to air— it evaporates rapidly and is dangerous. 4.—Do not allow engine to run when car is standing. Cars are fitted with self-starters and it is good for the bat- tery to be used frequently. 5.—Have carburetors adjusted to use leanest mixture possible—a lean mix- ture avoids carbon deposits. 6.—See that piston rings fit tight and cylinders hold compression well. Leakage of compression causes loss. 7.—Stop all gasolene leakage. Form the habit of ‘shutting off gasolene at -he tank or feedpipe. 2—See that all bearings run freely ind ‘are well lubricated—friction con- mes power and wastes gas. 9—Protect the radiator in cold wea- ther—a cold engine is hard to start nd is short in 10.—Keep fully inflated—soft tires consume power. 11.—Do not drive at excessive speed.

Every car has a difinite speed at which it operates with maximum fuel economy. 12.—Change gears rather than climb hills with wide open-throttle—it saves -ar and gas. 13.—Do not use cars needlessly or aimlessly. By exercise of forethought a number of errands can be combined so that one trip to town or elsewhere will do as well as two. 14—Reduce the amount of riding for mere pleasure by shortening such trips or cutting down their fraquency The Gas-Electric Car Considerable, prominence is of late being achieved by several ‘types fo cars in which a gasolene engine is the prime source of power, but in which this power is converted wholly > in part into the electric form be- ‘ore being utilized in the mechanical form at the driving wheels. Such “gasolene-electric” cars were develop- -d at least ten years ago, and are at present eajoying a renaiscance in somewhat improved forms. , These cars were deviced in order to do away with the use of shifted gears or other mochanical devices for the va- riation of the relative speeds of en- gine and driving wheels and in them alectrical and not mechanical meth- ods are employed to give the effect of a low-gear under difficult road conditions and of a high-gear under easy road conditions, the claim _be- ing made that these changes in driv- ing ratios can be made much more oothly, simply, conveniently and ently and with less liability of causing breakage or undue wear by \lectrical than be mechanicai means ‘hile at the same time retaining a Jigh efficiency in the transmission of the engine power. In one form of -electric car a patented form of iectrical or “magnetic” transmission device is used coasisting of a com- bination of dynamo-electric machines, nanges in the electrical inter - rela- tions of which give the required va- riations in torque and speed. In an- other type the gasolene engine may. at the will of the operator, be me- chanically connected or disconnected to a dynamo-electric machine which may, as required be utilized as a gen- erator, to charge a storage bat- tery carried upon the vehicle or as an electric motor to propel the car. A vehicle of this type may be propeiled by the gasolene engine (which ‘is a small and economical one), by the dynamotor and electr! current de- rived from the battery ®r by the gaso- line engine and the dynamotor acting ogetper. In still another type, not used bon’ pleasure venicles. the engine drives a dynamo, which supplies cur- ent for two or more elect motors that drive the road wheels directly or through gears. Gas-electric cars sspecially appeal to . users to whom 2e shifting of ordinary gears is ob- cctionable, to whom the perks and noise of unskillful gear-shifting is .nnoying and who wish to avoid -ear-noise at low driving ratios. Elec- trical power transmission on motor cars possesses great possiblities and 2ay have a great future before it. ton ‘street has as her guests her niece and nephew from Monteclair, N. J.
