Upon this basis, the A.A.U. has rightfully thrown out the miracle records attributed to the Pacific Coast fiyer, Charley Paddock, hailed a8 the "world's fastest human."

A man running a hundred in 9 3-5 sec- onds is doing beter than two yards in @ fifth of 4 second in the last great effort of his race, but to have attain- od that speed between 76 and 80] yards is open to real doubt.

Since the timing on the Coast has been questioned, and since the records | made in Hawaii have been seriously | attacked, it might be better for Pad- dock's future if he had gone to New- ark' and cleared up the mystery as $0 Als real speed.

The playing field, where Eabe Ruth and his fellow sluggers n:ust make good next year, is skight- ly larger than the Giants' fleld, but the Yanks' park is much deeper in centre fleld, and it's going to be a harder matter to make home runs. The total capacity, 67,000, aimed at for the opening day of the 1923 dson, is more than 25,000 over the largest attendance at a baseball game And the Yaikee owners expect to flil the place. * iceman Queen's Men In Utica, J. M. Farrell received the follow- ing telegram from his brother, Dr, T. H. Farrell, Utica, N. Y., who was centre half of the Queen's rughy team which won the Dominion championship in 1893: "Utica, N.Y., Nov. 26th. "Delighted with the good news, and proceeded to broadcast it to Queen's men. Yesterday's game must have been a thriller. Extend our congratulations to the whole of Queen's football squad." Queen's doctors in Utica besides Dr. Farrell, include Dr. Hale, Dr. James Gage and Dr. Willlam Mot. fatt, all former footballers. The latter played inside wing for Queen's team which won the O.R.F.U. cham. plonship in 1894. Queen's More Spectacular. Montreal Gazette: Queen's were |er all other batsmen in the National | by leading the senior league In hit- | ting by hitting three times in suc- more spectacular than the former champions, but the extra weight of the Argonauts told on the lighter periods Queen's players were going out on almost every play.

'e Supports cession, a feat that has been accom- | plished by only one other player in history, but even at that, he will have to do the trick once more in 1923, before he can gain the dis- tinction of equaling the best record |of the past in the parent organiza- | tion. That's a record held by Hans Wagner. The "Flying Dutchman," until this year, was the only player who ever led the National League batters three times in a row, and he still occupfes his pedestal in the hall of fame as the only batter who ever did it four times Jn succession. Wagner's record" extended from 1906 to 1909, inclusive, In 1906, he led with .339, in 1907 with .860, in 1908 with .354, and in 1909 with 889. / Wagner led the leagué' eight times in all, his other seasons of leadership being 1900, 1903, 1904 and 1911, but his most remarkable achievement was doing it four times In" succession, and that's a mark at which late comers) in the National have since been shooting in vain. Hornsby is the first to come with- in one year of it, and his efforts to tie the Yormer Pirate Star by head- ing the list next season for the fourth successive time will add considerable interest to the batting race of 1923. As a matter of fact, only five play- ers, aslde from Wagner and Horns- by, ever led in the National League In clouting even twice in succession. They were Dan Brouthers, Cap. An- son, Jesse Burkett, Willie Keeler and Jake Daubert. led the league twice, but not succes- sively, Eddie Rousch, of the Cincin- nati club, doing the trick in 1917 and 1919, KIDNEY LIF LIAS ae E32 ( Dv cs A One other player |' carburetor has been giving satisfactory service for thousands of miles, with certain adjustments, and likely that suddenly developed ' loss the part of the etgine, is attributab bas so conclusively proved itself a alone, until the sion of all eylinders ignition is proved to is known to be they remain unchanged, it is not very of power, skipping or backfiring on le to this carburetor setting, which 800d one.

The indi- cations are that, with the normal gasoline adjustment, there is too much air in the mixture, at small throttle openings and that, {n order to correct this condition, the gaso- line feed has to be increased so much that the mixture is exces- sively over-rich at open throttle. This may be the result of air-leaks Into the Juiekes either through worn parts of the carburetor, at joints of the Intake piping or around the inlet-valve stems or it may be due to failure of the car- buretor to regulate its air supply properly, either through its aux- illary air-valve sticking open at low Questions of general Mr. Clough in this column, highly inadvisable to undo temptation to readjust cannot be re- marked or otherwise exactly noted, so Answer: Without knowing the | make and model of carburetor, we | "tie to," in looking for trouble, and it is a great advised re-adjustments, as this only quantities" in the problem and makes correct setting of a carburetor, which often a long and tedious process of all this work, by that suddenly carburetor readjustment to correct case that they are caiised by imperfect car Dassages in the carburetor may be obstructed some of {ts moving parts ne from the vacuum tank uretor can usually be thor adjustments being disturbed and care throttle or sticking closed at open throttle. ren TESTING SPARK-PLUGS W.O. B, asks: I have a number of spark plugs around my garage, and do not know whether or not they a fit to use. How can I test om : Answer: If these plugs are of such construction that the grounded discharge point can be bent away from the central ome, so that at the gap between them will be 8-16 inch, and the spark will pass regu- larly through this increased dis- tance, when the plug is 1aid on the cylinder of an engine and supplied with current from one of the plug cables of the engine, while run. ning, it is reasonably certain that the insulation has not broken down and that the plug would operate properly, In service. Instead of bending the outside point, a small plece of mica can be inserted in the Bap, the mica being so held that the spark has to pass around its dge in a' path 3-18 inch long, in- stead of jumping directly across be- tween the points. The object of increasing the gas is to reproduce the reatstive conditions, due to com- pression. : terest to the motorist will de answered dy space permitting.

I think with these stars and many more lesser stars, there is no reason why football will not be one of Canada's major sports. This is by an ardent fan in Toronto Star. To Cover Gridiron With Straw For Game It is likely that straw will be plac- ed on the Queen's gridiron, that pre- caution having been taken at Mont- real for the Toronto-Queen"s game. Edmonton suggests Coach Jack May- nard of U. of T., Past President Foulds, of the Canadian Union, and Queen's; Snyder, Dr. Smirle Lawson of Toronto, as head linesmen. The Westerners' suggestions for referee and umpire are Murray Thompson of Regina, former University of Toronto star, and "Sticks" McAuley, of Montreal. The latter intimated some time ago that he would not again act in any official capacity af football games. Last season when the Edmonton team met the Argonauts in the final here they. received their expenses and $1,500, the latter being their share of the net proceeds. This sea- son they demanded a guarantee of $4,000, but the Canadian Union, un- der its constitution, is not permyjtted to guarantee that or any amount to anybody, Queen's, however, has Buaranteed to pay the Westerners the sum of $4,000 and a share of the net proceeds above that amoung. . ---- OHA, Officers.
