The Peterboro Examiner says: The Central Ontario Junior series that was talked of last fall has been | considered by a number of sur- rounding towns and it is most like ly that this scheme will be carriea out. By this means the younger players will be brought along much | faster than in the City League whew | they are facing the same pitchers | most of the time. The expenses ol this league would be very small as all the trips to the surrounding towns could be made by car, which is very cheap compared with tra- velling by train. The expense of a trip from here to Cobourg or Pon Hope would not cost more than $30 which would be covered easily by the gate receipts. Peterboro, Belle: ville and Oshawa are strong in fav- or of this series and it is most sure that the league will be formed. If su the team representing Peterboro | win be the Lakeviews.

The personel of the Yale team is form- idable and most of the boxers have heen seasoned, not only by prelimin- ary training with freshmen teams but with mary hard contests with other American Universities The plans and specifications of the Yale team structure are as follows: 115-1b. Class--C. H. Grande: Age 21; height 6-5. This is Grande's first year on the team. Grand was defeated by Hayes of the Navy. 125-1k. Class--A. A. Abelll: Age 22; height 5-9. Abelli has been on the team for two years and is unde- feated. Abelli defeated Griffith of the Navy. 135-1b. Class--C. L. Peet: Age 20; President Haddock, of the U.S.H.A., is coming to Toronto to confer with Canadian hockey officials This is the same fellow who was so keen to "paddle his own canoe" earlier in the season. "Kid" Roy, of Montreal, certainly proved his right to the Canadian featherweight title when he soundly trounced Benny Gould. Gould was picked by Toronto scribes as the winner before the battle--which, of course, is not surprising. Their erroneous selections have become ha- bituai. Although many American writers decry Georges Carpentier, we'll bet even money that a big crowd will be on hand when he meets Gibbons. | Carpentier is a fighter of no mean ability and his courageous attempt at Dempsey's crown was but indicative of his real calibre. Coming after a lull in sporting events, the big International boxing tournament in Grant Hall on Saturday night will attract a large crowd. The bouts should be of high calibre. Things seem mighty quiet just these few days--but some fine evening "Jim' Kane will call out his City League baseball cohorts and the season will be under way once more with a bang. The Kingston C.0.B.L. team will take spring training in the Armour- ies. That indoor diamond should certainly speed them up and they could not find a better training. ------ French Runner in Good Form.

Smith de- | feated Henderson of the Navy. | (Here's hoping Tiny Adams knocks | out Smith.) The contests will be as follows: . Three preliminary wrestling bouts of | high calibre; Grande vs. Dark | Horse; Abelli vs. Hannah; Peet vs. Tkachyk; Rosenman vs. Grant; Capt. B. F. Funk vs. Howard: Smith vs, Adams. The ticket sale has been very brisk and there will be a large crowd on hand. E. T. SMITH 176 pounds, age 20, height 6.4, who | nes have also been secured to assist j Orcutt.

The winner of each | group to play off and the winner of | these to go into the O. B. A. A. | finals. This is no doubt a great idea | and it is hoped that it is carried jout. If this league is a success N great number of the players taking | part in it will be seen with some of | the higher "teams next season. Pex. | erboro was figuring on having six teams in this group but since the Lindsay Greybirds have taken to Intermediate ball it is not likely that Lindsay will enter a team. Port Hope is also doubted but it is hoped that they will enter a team and help make up the group. ere BELLEVILLE RESTLESS, Fans Getting Impatient for News of "Trunks." The Belleville Ontario says: They take their amateur ball ser- fously in western Ontario. Brant- ford has lined up a strong team and have secured Del Orcutt, one time star of the old Red Sox team, as manager of the Brants in the South- ern County League for the coming season. The services of Freddie Min- Minnes will pay particular attention to the batting, while Del will have charge of the fielding end. This is putting amateur ball on a pretty fine basis and hints a little of professionalism. Other towns are | less "fortunate," they cannot stand | this expense and consequently do not | measure up in ability, The time is getting short betore | the season opens; other towns have | drifted into the press with comments | as to their possibilities of winning pennants but not a word from the! management of the Grand Trunks. Up to the present no mention has been made of whos will lead them in the fight or as to the personnel ot | the team. | Babe Ruth, home-run king of the universe, doesn't look ' for swatting to be as prevalent this year as in past seasons. Babe figures that batting will sure- ly slump if the umpires are more careful about tossing new balls into play. "During the last few months of the American League season when the umpires were using only about half as many new balls as formerly I found it far more difficult to get distance to my drives," says Ruth. "For several years baseball in the major leagues has been played al- most entirely with a new ball. The slightest excuse would be sufficient to have an old ball thrown out and a brand new one put in play. "The almost constant new ball was great for the batters, but mighty tough on the pitchers. If the um- pifes tighten up on the ball question, batting is sure to slump." Gibbons-Carpentier. Chicago, March 27.--Tom Gib bons, of St. Paul, challenger for the world's heavyweight championship, and Georges Carpentier, ring idol of France, to-night were matched to meet in a ten-round no-decision con test either at Michigan City, Ind., or Benton Harbor, Mich., on July 4th, Carpentier was guaranteed $70,- 000 with a privilege of 25 per cent. of the receipts, while Gibbons, waiv- ing all claings of a guarantee, ac- cepted a flat 30 per cent. Jack Cur- ley. representing the French light heavyweight, received a certified cheque for $15,000 guaranteeing the match. The match will be promoted by Lloyd Fitzsimmons who owns arenas at Michigan City and Benton Har- bor. ---------- Workers to Have Stadium.

More Sold than all other brands combined Copyright, 192}, by The Second Speed ALBERT L.. CLOUGH Internatwnal Syndicate Its Use Facilitates A Fast Pick Up And Prevents Stalling JUDGING BY THE LITTLE USE many drivers make of it, second Speed is merely a gear on which to start a ear from rest or to be passed through in changing from first to third, but this is not primarily what it is provided for. It is, in reality, a speed to be driven on under condi- tions which render the use of third speed inadvisable. These conditions are two, viz.: that engine speed becomes reduced--even though gas is When a road surface is so "heavy" or a grade so steep lly on--so thdt jerky or labored running occurs and the liability of stalling beccmes apparent. Also when, for any reason, car speed must be kept so low that the engine will not continue to run without being likely to stall One reason why drivers cannot second speed is so little used is because so many shift into it, from high gear, without much noise and the lability of having to stop their cars completely and engage first speed again. Another reason is simple laziness and a third is founded on the belief that slipping the clutch, on securing very low car speed. severe hills or on heavy roads, leads to the pounding brings about considerable fuel waste and cuts car speed bearings, high gear, is a proper manner of Failure to change to second speed on out of engine down away below what could readily be maintained on the middle gear. Moreover it makes stalling of the engine likely to occur--a happening that is attended with special inconvenience and some danger, on In trafic jams, it almost constitutes a crime, to have one's roads. steep engine stall and hold up. even momentarily, a long line of cars and the inability to accelerate rapidly when the line starts has become a mis- demeanor against traffic. will acquire the habit of slipping much slowed down, for stalling Most of this trouble can be avoided if drivers into second, when trafic is very of engines will be much less like ly to occur, ability to accelerate rapidly will be immensely increased and the temptation to clutch slipping will be largely removed. It is therefore urged that motorists acquire greater dexterity in shifting down from high gear, so that the change can be made quickly, for it is a fact that the greatest deterrent to the free and noiselessly, positively use of second speed is the feeling of uncertainty on the operator's part whether he---or she--can accomplish the shift GASOLINE FSCAPES WHEN ENGINE STOPS C. M. writes: After 1 stop the engine of my car, I notice gasoline dripping out of the air- inlet ofthe carburetor. I cleaned the carburetor, but could see noth- ing wrong. What can you suggest? Answer: If this leaking occurs only immediately after the engine stops, it does not indicate that any- thing is wrong. This engine has a long, exposed intake-pipe and no means of furnishing the Intake pas- sages with artificial heat for vo- latilizing the fuel, making it inevit. able that there should be consider. able liquid. gasoline deposited on 'the walls of the intake passages. So long as the engine is running, this gasoline is held In place by the inrush of air, but as soon as this ceases it trickles down through the intake piping and out through the carburetor air-fnlet. If the drip- ping ceases soon after the engine stops. it is nothing more than should be expected, considering the Questions of general interest to the Mr. Clough in this column, space perm desired, self-addressed, stamped enclose neatly, design of this engine's intake sys- tem. it a] A REAR-END NOISE C. O. writes: Just lately my car has developed a knock or tapping sound, which seems to occur each time the driving wheels turn and which is most noticeable in the rear of the car. What causes this? Answer: You might remove the inspection plate of the rear-axie housing, and examine the teeth of the ring-gear; as it is possible this noise is the result of a broken or chipped. tooth. Perhaps there is something wrong about the mount- ing of one of the rear wheels, al- though it is hardly to be expected that a noise resulting from this cause would be regular In its occur. rence. There would be no harm in Jacking the wheels up and testing them for lost motion on their shafts, accuracy of bearing adjust- ment and the like.

Service Bureau Review' of Roviewd Don't Stop The Engine With Throttle Opened Formerly A Recommended Practice, It Now Lacks Justification IN THE BYGONE DAYS, when gasoline would remain vaporized at ordinary air temperature and when engines had to be cranked by band, it used to be advised that, just before opening the ignition switch to stop the engine, the throttle be opened, so as to admit full charges to the cylinders after firing had ceased and while the engine was being turned over by flywheel energy. The theory was that ignitable mixture would remain in the cylinders for some time and that if the engine failed to "start on the spark" when the switch was put on it would do 80 on the first turn of the crank. Many experienced operators still follow this practice, although {it has not only ceased to be recommended but is actually frowned upon by some car manufacturers, although the conditions which once gave it some merit have ceased to prevail. Tho erstwhile 76°, straight-run gasoline, which would remain in vapor form in engine cylinders overnight, 1s no longer commercially obtain- able, but has been supplanted by a fuel but very little of which will stay vaporized unless under artificial heat and hand cranking has be- come a forgotten form of calisthenics. Present-day gasoline, unless burned, condenses to liquid form in engine cylinders and running down past the pistons, removes the essential lubricating ofl flim, so that the desideratum at present is to leave as little fuel as pdssible in the engine when it stops, so that lubrication may be intorfered with as slightly as may be. Everyone is or should be taking every precaution 'against ofl dilution and a minor factor in this movement Is the avoidance of large quantities of fuel in the cylinders of an engine when it is to be left to Gool down. If anyone cares to try it out, it will be found that starting Is no prompter when the engine has been stopped with opened than with closed throttle for whatever the mixture left in the cylinders it becomes too lean to ignite after rather a short time. Switching oft the ignition .with the throttle closed to its idling position is the best way and, incidentally, it prevents considerable unnecessary noise.
