'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 ing tha (una from tha bleachers la an 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 baao ba.1. Tho raaideiu of futaburg or Chicago insists that Nw York is of no greater importance on tha map of North amantt tuao la hia horn city. Tho spirit extends to uie bail loams, aithouga it fiw uuenuy happena that not one of tho hired ptaers waa born or lives In tha city tna naina of which ho bears on hia uniform.

Harry Trying Green, well known amateur boxer and all around athlete of the Uni versity of Michigan: "While I am con vinced that tho fight will be honest. I think that Tex Rickard should not referee it. It looks suspicious. If nothing else." Ralph Kinney of Cleveland, O., former Tale athlete, says: "I see no reason to think that tho coming struggle will not be strictly honest. I believe it wtll be." Many others say the same thing .among them such authorities aa Joe Nolan, the Cincinnati sporting writer; O. Connett, foot hall referee of the University of Virginia; Ted Coy, the great foot ball player; John W. Nickel, president of the National Ath letic club of Baltimore; John L. Sullivan, James J. Corbett, Eddie Hanlun, formerly manager of the Brooklyn base ball team; Stakeholder Sena'or Tim Sullivan and many others. Speaking of the approaching conflict Jim Corbett says: "Johnson will not last much over twenty rounds. He lacks the staying power, and his footwork cannot compare with Jeff's.

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 w hich grounds the current In order to stop or switch caused by grounding through bad Insulation or switch defect. !
