. THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG | TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, LATEST . LOCAL. ANNUAL FIELD DAY STAGED AT QUEEN'S . Bome Good Competitions Yes- terday--Walter Knox Looking Them Over. Yesterday was fleldd day at the George Richardson Memorial Sta- dium, the Track Club taking ad- vantage of the university holiday to hol their meet. Some very good competifions were held during the afternoon and all the events run off smartly. The whole programme was eompleted by four o'clock. The occasion was made a little more memorable by the prescnce of Walter Knox, coach of the Canadian Olympic Team, who acted as starter for the various speed events an: gave the budding athletes many good pointers now and then. The officials were: Starter, Walter Knok; judges, Prof. Matheson. James Bews; timers, Prof. J. F. McDonald, Prof. "Jolliffe; announcer, A. Ada; clerk of the course, John Findiay. The events run off were as follows 100 yard dash---Daly, Smith, Mec- Donald. 1 mile--Patton, Jennings. 220 yarde--Daley, Smith, Edmi- son. Three miles--Tkachyk, lane. Shot put--WaHi, Davidson, Davis Half mile--Downey. Discus--Hunter, Davis, Walli. Quarter 'mile--Chennette, Collins, Park. 120 yard hurdles--Graham, Wood The quarter-mile race was a fast and close contest with scarcely six inches separating first and second men. Collins lead all the way, round but Chennette sprinted in the stretoh end won by a shade. Interest is growing in track sporis at Queen's lately and the Track Club is gradually getting back to where i stood in the days of the McKin- nons, Foster and others. TRICOLOR SETTLING 10.

Should Queen's 'win thep the thidg is as good as won but if Varsity should grab off the ponors the fans will settle back and prepare for another hard battle such a8 that which took place last season. Today -the Queen's men started on their final week of practice before the game in Toronto and Coach Hughes drove them hard. All were on hand but "Bud" Thomas, and although he reported himself fine, it was thought best to take no chances and he will keep out of practice until the middle of the week to give the injury received in the McGill game every chamce to repair permanently. Queen Boohoo is getting a little restless and wants to be on the maye but she will find plenty of outlet for her good spirits next Saturday and will doubtless rejoice at the sight of Varsity Stadium, for it was there _ that she led the Queen's cohorts to two wondenful victories last year--- one over Varsity and one over Argo- nauts. The members of the coaching staff who visited the Varsity-MieGill game in Montreal on Saturday last are very it and will say only that the Varsity team is a very good one but that they think the Queen's outfit better. The Blue and White are not being under estimated, but having defepted them in two games out of three in 1922 the Tricolor :, have giined confidence and fully ex- pect to administer another lcking to gheir greatest rivals. y Games Tomorrow.

RUTH SETS RECORDS FOR BIG LEAGUE BALL Bambino Gets Most Walks and Scores Most Runs in Either League. LA ---- The ringing down of the curtain on the two hig ledgue baseball sea- tons finds Harry Heilmann, of the Detroit Tigers, wearing the crown as champion batter of the American League' and Roger Hornsby, of the St. Louis Cardinals, similarly deco- rated in the National League. Hail mann finished the campaign with an average of .402 for 144 games, eight points ahead of Babe Ruth, whe has a notch of .3%4 for 15% games, Hornsby's mark is .385 in 107 games. Zack Wheat, -of the Brooklyn Dodgers, takes second pleco in the older circuit, his average baling .375 in 98 games. The race for supremacy in the manufacture of home runs has end- ed in a tie between Cy Willlams of the downtrodden Phillies, and Ruth, each with a total of 41. However, the Bambino finished with an uxu- disputed right to the honor of draw- ing more bases on balls thar any other man in fast company, having 171, which constitutes a big leagie record during the history of the game. The highest previous record in this respect was 144, also to Ruth's credit, in 1921. Ruth also tops all hands in the matter of scoring runs, having cross- ed the plate 151 times in 152 games, a remarkable record. Tris Speaker ranks second in this respect, with 132. \ Though Ruth failed tp lead the league he flaished with the best bat- ting average of his career. His best previous mark was in 1921, when he compiled an average of .378. It was in 1921 that he set the record of 59 home runs 'n one season. He scored 177 runs that season, But, on the whole, he has been of more value this season, than in any previ- ous year, owing to his sincere and painstaking efforts at all times. He had a wonderful season: In justice to Cy Williams It must be pointed out that he played in some sixteen fewer games than did Kuth and that for several weeks, after he retugned to the game fol- lowing a lay off due to inflamma- tory rheumatism, he was in a weak- ened condition in which he could not put forth his best efforts. This is the fourth successive sea- son that Hornsby has led the Na- tional League in batting. He first captured the honors in 1920, when he finished with a mark of .370. In 1221 he compiled a mark of .387, and last year he had a percentage of .401. He was injured during sev- eral weeks of the season just closed and played at times when not in bis best shape. He was above the .400 mark for some time and seemed set for an even better mark than in 1922 when forced tothe bench by an injury to his left knee. Hellmann' also has had the honor of leading his league prior to this year, for he topped all American League hitters in 1921 with a mark of .594. George Sisler, of the Browns was the American League champion in 1922, with a record of .420, but was unable to put on a uniform this year bacause of defective eye-sight, an after-effect of an attack of influ- nza.

That fellow wanted the rugby world to stand on dts head for him. The Toronto Mail and Empire says: "One of the outstanding players of last Saturday's game wes Gordie Hughes, the R.M.C. graduate, who is playing his first year with McGill in senior rugby." Hughes is certainly making a hit on the gridiron this season and deserves the credit he gets. 'Trainer Billie Hughes was a busy man $n the practice gamg between the first and second. Queen's squads last Saturday. During one very torrid period five men were carried off the field in five minutes. "The greatest rugby duel seen on Molson Stadium in years," is 'what Michael J. Rodden calls last Saturday's game.

Pretty soft for the manager, ons might say, in contemplating that a fighter faces the hard knocks of the game and then gives up 10, 20, 33 or even 50 per cent. of his earnings to a manager who need do nothing on a desk and smoke big black ci- gars comnlacently as he arranges bouts for his man and reach out for the check after the show. It was something surprising to learn from a remark dropped by Jack Dempsey as he collected something like $500,000 for his fight with Luis Firpo that the heavyweight cham- pion and his manager split '"fifty- 6fty" on the former's earnings, That might be expected of a fighter who dabbles around for purses of $1,000 or less, but considering that Dempsey cleared $300,000 for his fight with Carpentier, a like amcunt for his affair with Gibbons, a few hundred thousand dollars for his tilts with Brennan and Miske and a cool half-million for the four min- utes' action in the scrap with Fimo, 50 per cent. fs no mean slice to doie cut to a manager. "It all depends on how you figure it." sald Dempsey in a chat with some intimate friends. "On oae Lapd there is the manager who gels his fighter $1,000 for a bout. Tha manager, we'll say receives 25 por cent. as his bit. That leaves the fighter $750 Another manager gets a half-million dollars for the same fighter and receives 50 per cent. as his end. That leaves the fighter $250,000. Figure it out yourself as to which is the better proposition." Then Dempsey delved into his early ring career. Back in 19! Jack placed himself under the man- egement of John Reisler, known to the sporting fraternity as "John the Barber." The tonsoriai manager re- ceived a nominal rake-or for his guardianship of Den:psey's Interests. It was "John the Barber," who brought Dempsey East for the first time and cooked wp the match with John Lester Johnson in New York. In that encounter Dempsey received all of $100 and a licking in the bar- g2in. In fact, as Dempscy relates the story, Reister after the fight with Johnson told Jack up and down that he was a bum, that he never would get anywhere and that it wes a waste of time to "monkey around" with him. The manager left D-mp- sey flat and broken In spirit. With the remnants of his $100 Colorado Jack was left to find his way back West, where he intended to drop the fighting game and go to work as a e. A year later Dempsey met up with Jack Kearns. The latter picked up the present champion as a raw pro- duct, staked him to food and shelter and/taught him some of the tricks of the game. Then it was that the two Jacks entered into a contract whereby they agreed to divide their earnings "fifty-fifty." Under Kearns' management Demp- sey won his fights against a string of third-raters. He got his first "big crack" at money right here in the fight with Fred Fulton at Harrison There the principals divided $25,00(, €ach receiving $12,500. Then [ol- lcwed the Willard fight, Willard as champion drew down $101,000 while Dempsey had to con- tent himself with $25,000, plus §2.- L00 for training expenses. After the Willard fight in 1919 'Dempsey as ~ Still The Most For The Money TIMELY COMMENTS champion became the dictator as to terms; that is to say, Kearns did the dictating, and together the two Jacks Lave been collecting purses that make the earnings of previous cham- pions appear insignificant in com: parison. Considering the amcunt volved some may opine that Dempsey made a rash move when he agreed to di- vide equally with Kearns on all his earnings, which was all right in their pioneer days, but the champion, it seems, is willing to let it go at that. He attributes his success to the man- agerial astuteness of Kearns, and never has shown an inclination to have the figures changed in their agreement. In fact, it has been said that there is no written contract be- tween the two Jacks--just a verbal agreement between two pals, and they seem to regard that as binding. HINTS 0 ALBERT L.CLOUGH. Keeping Intake Connections Tighe vorrect Carburetor Adjustment Is Impossidle, If They Are Leaky ON SOME CARS the carburetor is attached by its flange by means of screws, directly to the intake port-opening of the block and the charges are distributed to the several cylinders through internal pas- sages. A gasket of paper or some similar material is used to tighten this joint. On other cars, the carburetor flange is bolted to the flanged lower end of the intake manifold and the two or more branches of the manifold are screwed or clamped, by their flanged ends, over the Intake ports of the block, gaskets being used at each of these joints. Unless the gaskets.st all } and unless the 8 flanged connections are in perfect condition or clamps are set up very securely, stray alr will be sucked in at the defective joints, weakening the mixture so as to prevent reliable idling and regular firing, at low throttle. Vibra- tion sometimes loosens these connections, especially when a heavy carburetor, at the end of a long and complicated manifold is used, and one of the occasional attentions, which a car requires, is going over all the nuts involved and securing their tightness. Especially, if these joints have recently been broken, as during overhauling, and new gaskets supplied, a subsequent thorough tightening is necessary, as the gaskets flatten considerably after the nuts are first set up. Leaky flange conuections can be demonstrated by squirting gasoline along them and noting if this makes the engine speed up. RUNS JERKILY WHEN SLOWED | DOWN C. M. writes: Since having my engine decarbonized, its valves ground and the carburetor and gas line cleaned out, my car has jerked back and forth whenever I slow fit down, on high gear. It runs all ight when 1 give it more gas at is the reason for this? : Evidently your engine does not fire regularly when it is throttled away down and among the things which may oause this are the following: The idling or low speed adjustment of the car- buretor may be such that the en- gine does not get enough gas to fire on. There may be an air-leak into the Intake, which weakens the charges below the combustible point, at very low throttle opening, caused perhaps, by leaks at the flange connections. It may be that they did not get the valves tight. which would affect low speed op- eration by fouling the charges with exhaust gas. Possibly the throttle stop has been set so that the gas is too nearly shut off, when the accelerator is. let up. The most likely assumption is that the idling quires correction. We are assum- ing that your spark-plugs have the right gap. : ---- ADJUSTING OCASBLE-OPERATED BRAKES A.

He will ride Zev in the inter- national race against Papyrus. Bafore leaving Cincinnati Sande expressed the belief that Zev will be victorious when he meets Papyrus. He also holds the conviction that Zev is a better colt than My Own, "Zev has too much early foot for My Own," said Sands. "In a long race it would enable Zev to get a commanding early advantage and would enable him to tecke frequent breathing spell, while My Own would be forced hard to keep In striking distance." Sande is also firm!y convinced that Zev @anjnegotiate any distance. Commenting on Untidy's perform- ance against the two colts in differ- ---- ent starts, which in comparison seem to indicate that My Own is better than Zev, Sande, unburdened himse|t as follows: "When Zev beat Untidy In the Lawrence Realization, Zev was not in form for a long race and only went a quarter of a mile at top speed. In the belief that the race would be run at a later date, Hildreth did not key the colt to a high pitch, and its running found Zev no! ready to go a long distance. "It was necessary for that reason to save him during the running as much as possible. Untidy, as a re- sult, was ahd to keep closs up." Asked what he thoaght of Papyrus, Sande said: "I had no ovportunity to Judge him excepting when he was galloping slowlv. He seems to handle himself like a good colt." Sande believes that Hildeth wil send Zev to Laconia after his race with Papyrus to fill his engagement in the Championship Stakes. 88 PRINCESS ST.
