INTERCOLLEGIATE GOLF FINAL TO-DAY. What You Want to Know About Your Auto and How To Drive It and Keep It Expert Advice How to Keep Automobiles Running Smoothly and the Best Way to Remedy Machine Troubles— Traffic Suggestions and Pleasure Routes for Evening World Readers, T chilling of motors. increaso the gasoline supply. Ita y GEORGE H. ROBERTSON. HE approaching cold weather will put many obstacies in the way of automobile traffic unless precautions are taken to prevent the To accomplish this it will be necessary to motor becomes chilled through the failure to do this ft will not run Properly until the motor is thorough- ly warmed up. A lighter off should also be used for lubrication, due to the fact that a heavier of! will not run eo freely when cold. Grease cups on the chassis parts should be examined more often because of the Grease hardening. While these pre cautions are taken for the motor the tires must not be overlooked in the rough travelling weather to come. In wet conditions, whon non-skid tires are not used, it would be well to sec that non-skid chains are in good shape. It fs best to put these on all four wheels in order to have perfect control of the maciine, both as to backing and steering. The front wheels can skid as dangerously as the rear ones. Use chains on all four wheels for safety's sake. There has been a wide difference of opinion as to the efficiency of the mounted policeman in handling traffic on crowded thoroughfares. From my own personal observations it is absolutely necessary to have mounted men on these avenues. A motorcycle policeman can not operate his machine to get the best results in heavy traffic, while the horseman is always on the Job. It would certainly facilitate matters to place mounted men on Fifth avenue, for instance, in addition to the men already there and giw the motorcycle policemen a roving commission to go after the real ofSnders.

WRITE for Counsel or Advice to Real Estate Evening World. Buying and butiding of suburban homes seem to have been stimulated rather than halted by the war un- @ettloment. Many who have savings write that they are putting them into realty in preference to stocks or bonds, Several complain, however, that they cannot get loans, even on first mortgage. There is plenty of money in the country, but bankers and cap- itallats refuse to lend it. Mra. F.

Hieves Birds Bring Hard Luck. Editor, By Bozeman Bulger. JEORGE STALLINGS is one of the very men who can encourage ball players to G work and even enthusiasm by abusing th And by abuse I do not mean a gentle prod in the ribs. That is not the style of Stallings. He aims a full load of verbal shot straight at the vic- tim’s head and lets go with both barrels. And he keeps on firing until the last man is out in the ninth. There have been extreme cases where he failed to find the verbal load effective and resorted to plain fist and skull, Those cases are rare, hut not beyond his pale. If there was ever a Dr. Jekyll and Mr, Hyde in baseball it is this can be recovered by payment taxes and interest. F. 8. writes: May deed for lots I bought stalment plan.

He loves his players as chums and even advises with them in their private affairs, If any ill luck should befall them—outside of baseball—his purse- strings are always open. Stallings ts genuinely fond of his players personally and there is much evidence that this fondness ts mutual. As a striking instance of it, @ year or 80 ago when Mrs. Stallings was ill in Buffalo the members of the team received $400 as ‘heir share of the extra money for exhibition games. Instead of dividing it up, as is cus- tomary, they forwarded the whole amount to a ‘florist’ that flowers might be sent to the wife of their leader every day. And this was done until the end came six weeks later. How He Handled Josh Devore in a Pinch. The Braves always say their last pleasant word to Stallings at luncheon and prepare themselves for the worst. They know full well that at the park they will find a different being. From a man of gentle breeding and Chesterfleldian manners he is suddenly transformed into a slave driver whose tongue cuts like a lash. No |matter how much of a star a player may be he never jescapes that.lash. He expects biting sarcasm and steels himself accordingly. During the recent Labor Day games at Boston | Mathewson had the Braves beaten up to the last half of the ninth inning. Already Stallings had worn out a pair of trousers sliding up and down the bench and was acting like a wild man, The players tell of how he sud- | denty turned and saw Josh Devore in a corner. Always, he has considered Josh lucky. “Get up there Josh and take a crack at this one,” he jordered. “That Matty is a smart guy and I guess the only way to offset brains is with bone. Now you"—— |The rest cannot be printed in a family newspaper. { Devore, hiding a smile, went to the plate and, sure enough, beat out an infield pit that’ * pat "the | Braves in position to win the game. There were no words of praise when Josh got back to the bench, but the next day he got a suit of clothes. By these methods Stallings has a knack of being able to get big league work out of a minor league player. It | was his patience with Dick Rudolph as well as the hard knocks that made him a great pitcher and he also fooled men, met at the city market under the Queensboro Bridge at Fifty-ninth street and First avenue to-day.

In honor of the visit each of the markets was gayly decorated with national—and In some cases foreign bunting. On every hand thifty house- wives and, In fact, whole families, including men, out marketing, greeted the procession with cheers. Suitcases, baskets and bags were sent hurtling in the air in appreciation of the city's course in opening the markets, And to add to the general good humor of the crowd there was ap- preciable drop in the food prices, ticularly at the open market at Third avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street, The number of farm wagons on hand at each of markets exceeded any previous day, and prices were forced down by the increased competition. Eggs dropped M4 conta to 42 cents a dozen; jamb and mutton at the Third ave- nue market was down to 14 cents and 16 cents a pound—4 cents cheaper than prices listed In retail stores. All vegetables, especially green corn, were cheaper than yesterday. One farmer at the Third avenuo depot was trict-Attorney. 8.
