'SQUA2E FIGHT 13 FBEUICTED
Tha American spectator nn at. a sport
ing rnntest differs in evtry respect from hta
prototype of 'ha old world. He "enthuws"
to a degre that aatoniahea the siaM Eng
lishman and tho phlrgiDiuic German. "Play

expression which means nutaing outside:
America. To thosa who attend foot ha!',
racing, boxing and bae bail mau hea in
thia country, howaver. It la thoroughiy
understood and appreciated. Since baaa
ball bas been aptly termed the national
port, it la natural to look for tha highest
development of tha national characteristic
In tha atanda surrounding Uie diamond.
Evn tha casual observer cannot fail to
detect It a presence, for tha enthualaam of
tha base ball fan excels that of all others.
Ha enters Into the spirit of the game In
a manner that marks tha tvplcal American
who concentrates his eff.jrta on either busi
ness or pleaaure. The average foreigner
who visit our a'hleilc contest contend
that wa take our spuria too seriously, that
wa place too much stress on victory. Leav
ing aatda the ethics of tha question, tha
fact remains that victory la tha goal sought,
and tha "fan" uses every artifice at bis
luMMvuid lo help the home team reach il
ahead of competitors. Scerwe occur every
day at bane, ball games that ate witnessed
la no other corneals or competitions. Busi
oaaa and professional mn forget for the
tuna their standing In the community and.
abouldar to ahoulder with the street urchin,
"root" frantically for the hit needui to
win tha game. Superstitious to a decree,
ha "fail" will lis to his feat with all his
tetlowa an masse for a stretch in the "lucky
rtavanth" If the home team la being out
played, and ao it goes.
I m partial Cnerrla-.
Tat thia ardor da not blind hia eves to
tso auility of tho visiting team. In no
Hher branch of sport la high-class play,
either individual or team work, so quickly
recognised and applauded aa In base ball.
Thia is due. In all probability, to the fact
that SO per cent of tha spectators under
stand the gam even In lta complicated
development of today. Whero la the man
who aa a boy did not play ball? Even when
ago and business cares make active par
ticipation out of tho question, he still finds
Uma to attend tho games. It is only
natural, than, that his enthuslaam should
force him to da more than sit idly In hia
seat. Tu see him on a hot day, sans collar
ami coat, hurling encouragement and ad
vice at tha players, is to see him In his U'ue
element.
Xothlng ot the doings of the players In
tha field or on tho bench escapes his
scrutiny. Dazzling play, wherein tho ball
travels from point to point on tha diamond
at lightning speed, brings forth roars of
applause. Stupid blunders result in howls
of derision and caustic comment that stings
even the hardened professional. Viewed
broadly, however, tha "fan" la In the aggre
gate fair and quick to show his apprecia
tion, In no other sport Is tha work ot tho
contestants ao closely followed and judged
unbiased. Tho batting and fielding aver
agoa of the leading players are ever on
tongue tips. "Play to win" la the slogan,
and woe beurde the Individual whose efforts
give the Impression of shirking. The
tnumbe-duwn cry. "Take him out:" ex-pi-essea
the sentiment of the "fans." On
tha other hand, a desperate try. even
Uiough It be unsuccessful, Is a credit mark
fur the earnest player.
Thrills 'of Cloan tuatnti.
Much aa tho game has Improved during
Lhu last decade, the "fan" has kept step in
tho onward march. Tears ago the regular
followers of the homo team asked for noth
ing but victory- Tuday it Is different. The
old desire la still there, but H is curbed
and pohshed by the craving for ulone co.n
testa and high-clas play. The biggest
crowds file through the turns tiles on the
days when rival teams of about equal
eallber meet on the diamond. A series
wherein tha superiority of one club over
another is apparent Is a poor drawing card.
Tha "fan" demands fast, dashing play, ex
ulting situations, and a climax. If the home
team wlna. so much the better, but, above
all. It must be base ball at its best.
This attitude extends to the players as
individuals. Star pitchers and batters draw
urowda Just as the leading operatic singers
swell box office receipts. Uana Wagner,
Hal Chaae, Christy Maihewson, Ty Cobb,
Three-fingered Brown, attract hundreds to
bail parka dally because of the sensational
feata they perform. Their presence on the
team la worth thousands of dollars in a
season to tha club owners, and the mag
nates, realising thin, pay them salnrie
double and treble the averaSR league sti
pend. Ko:- players who lead the leagues in their
rr.ipectiva position there is always a hearty
welcome either at home or on the road.
Their a!l her is recognised, their superior
ability appr lated. The "fans" set a high
aiandard for them to play up u, and tins
keys up the men to ip speed. Much as
they ate admired, mouth, nothing pleases
Uie followers of tho hostile club so main
, as to see them outwitted by home laJeiu.
Tho spectacle of Hans Wagner or Frank
i 'name striking out with iwo men on bases
fills a New York ctowd with unalloyed
joy. Tho Pittsburg or Chlcagu "fan " would
rather sea Christy Maihewson driven to
the bench by the local diamond representa
tives than witness an entire series taken
irora Brooklyn or Si. Louis. In the battle
est tho ball field, no quarter is given or
asked by either players or "fans." The
temporary diaoonucruug of a big league
star is the signal for a round of laughter
and witticisms at tho expenaa of the player,
highly pleasing to tha "fans" if quits the
reverse to tho star.
Fairneaa mt the Faa.
It must ba said, however, that the "fan"
of today la much fairer In hia attitude to
ward viatung players and umpires than he
waa In the early daya of league play. The
closo observer realises that tho arbitrator
is trying to give both teams a "square
deal" and that he Is in a position tu decide
tioeo piaya more Justly than the "fan"
In the stand. Thia holds true in every
city represented In either major league.
In fact, tho "fan" of any gtvn locality
will assure you with earnestness that nis
city la tho fairest of any un the circuit
The ajuom that "circumstances alter
cases" holds true, however, in base ball as
well as la law. Tho clubs of certain cities
arouse more rivalry when competing on
tho same field than other teams ot the
earns league. Thia la duo to various rea
sons, sumo ot which are entirely outaiae

opinion, a weil dckigned mutfier does mil
cut Jown the speed or do a' or of the eii
Itine. For four cycle, multi-cylinder en
gines, a tnijle expansion chamber, with
water circulation will inako the runninn
very quiet without endangering the r-ed.
A tw.-cye!e enaint. howeer. needs two
expansion chambers, water clrcuiatnl. to
give good results. A water cooled muffler
Is more efficient than an air cooled one.
for the reason that the water keeps the
exhaust line cool ami helps greatly in
minimising the noise.
Any motor will, after continued ue, ac
cumulate rust and grit deposits In the
water Jacket. This is especially the case
with launches moored in muddy water. If
this deposit is not removed sooner of later,
ita presence will rause the motor to over
heat. If the cylinders are removed and ;
turned bottom up. a good strong stream ;
from a hose will remove a great part of !
this deposit. A sharpened piece of drill rod
or stout wire wtll assist greatly In loosen
ing no any of the rust flakes Inside the
Jacket. j
It is a great mistake to use an automo- '
bile or launch engine a whole season w'th- i
out giving It any attention except to feed :
It with oil and gasoline. Any engine after '
a hard season's use wtll have accumulated'
a good deal of carbon on its pistons and
cylinders. This carbon cause, trouble and ;
should be removed. This can be done with :
kerosene quite easily by pouring some of
It Into the cylinder and turning the engine
over by hand so that the kerosene will
thoroughly clean the sides of the pistons
and cylinders. If this does not prove suc
cessful It will be necessary to have the
engine overhauled.
To examine tne spark plug first discon
nect the wire, unscrew tha plug from the
combustion chamber, reconnect the wire
and place the plug on a metal portion of
the frame, or on the top of the com
bustion chamber, taking care that only
the metal portion of the spark plug is in
contact; not the cap or screw. Then turn
the starting handle. If no spark, or a
weak spark, results. It may be taken for
granted that the plug Is at fault, there
fore It should be examined In detail. If
the points of a spark plug are placed about
1-3 of an Inch apart about the thickness
of a dime and there la a good voltage
from the battery on making contact, so
as to set up an Induced current, a "fat"
spark usually results.
The steering gear should always have
the most careful inspection. In an old car. !
there will probably be some play at the
foot of the steering column, so that it is
possible to turn thj steering wheel some
distance before the front wheels are af
fected. On many types of cars provision
is made to take up this lost motion, but
on others no such arrangement la included.
and if there is so much play that the ,
steering la dangerous, a new steering outfit
will have to be purchased.
Chuttering sounds that are sometimes
made by the brakes are caused by the
friction surfaces genii , too dry- Oil or
grease will give relief, but care must be
used not to put too much on or tha brakes
will lose their efficiency. A mixture of oil
and graphite, mixed to a fairly stiff con
sistency, wtll be found an excellent and
lasting remedy fur this complaint. '
A short circuit may occur in the wiring
leading from tha magneto to the igniter
plugs un a make and break engine. This
may be due to sumo fault in the wiring
between the Igniter plugs and the switch
