IASBURY PARK EVENING PRESS. FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1919. 83 ARE KILLED IN TUNNEL EXPLOSION WILLARD BUSY AS ASBURY'S AVERAGES OCAL HAPPENINGS NEWS GREATEST TIE BURLESON RETURNSiL IWvrM flip vh--s "-rp FOR lTHE TQSSL DEW RESTS BETWEEN AMERCAS WIRES 10 OMRS ALBERT L. CLOUGH Editor Motor Service Bureau Review of Reviews Emergency Electrical Expedients (Continued) VERY OWNER OF AN ELECTRICALLY EQUIPPED, CAR should take the following precaution: He should find out exactly how to connect a battery of dry cells so that they will furnish current to tho ignition system, should the storage battery falL No general rule for this can be given, as electrical systems differ so much among themselves and the ignition switch frequently performs other functions than closing the ignition circuit. The cells are always to be 60 connected that the current from them can flow nowhere except through the primary circuit of the ignition coil and timer and one side of the dry battery is grounded while the other is connected to the ungrounded or live connection of the ignition devices.

The wiring diagram of the particular car in Question should be studied and the best method of making the connection exactly determined, in detail, as to the exact points where the dry battery connections are to be attached; what wires it any are to be disconnected; where the dry battery can be carried and whether the regular Ignition switch can be utilized. At the service station of the particular systetn used, they can tell an owner how to make the connections, if the owner cannot figure it out but it is not safe to depend upon the ordinary garage man to determine the method in a hurry for no human being can be expected to keep in mind the details of the numerous electrical systems in use. Almost all auto electricians very properly depend upon diagrams of connections and, unless the diagram relating to the particular system and installation in question is available, much useless investigation is required to ascertain the correct method. A set of good, snappy dry cells will furnish ignition for many miles, if they are not needlessly exhausted by allowing the engine to 6top without breaking the circuit. While the possibility is remote that the horn should fail to work, when the engine is running, dry cells will operate it and it is well to know how to connect it to the emergency source of current.

Even the necessary lights can be maintained for a short period of time on the current from a dry battery, which should be a separate one from that used for ignition, but tha probability of such an expedient being required is remote, the main use of emergency dry cells being to get the engine started and the generator at work. EE Tho Having Lost Six Games Locals Have Better of Present Situation. A comparison of the work of the local high school team with that of its opponents would be interesting those who wish to make predictions as to the outcome of the game with Red Bank tomorrow at the Athletic, grounds. The team has plajed lfi games this season, winning 10 of them. It lost to New Brunswick by a five to four score.

Manasquan, Chat-tle, Atlantic Highlands, and Neptune are also credited with victories, but in each case the locals have more than turned the tables on their opponents. Joe Millar, a four letter man and a senior, leads the batters uf the team with an average of Hopkins follows with Jensen and Eskew are tied for third place with an average of .294. The boys have been to one hit once this year, in one game they pounded out 17 safe blows, while in seven of the 16th games the total of their hits reached double figures. Their opponents hne twice been heki to three safeties, 11 is their high figure, and in only four games have they hit safely 10 or more times. The opposition has, however, a dis- tinct advantage in fielding.

The water mark for errors is one bv each team, and their opponents have mis-cued five times at the most. The local team piled up 12 in the Lakewomii game. The game at Red Bank was lost; because of a weak defense, but. the chances are 'much in favor of a far better showing tomorrow afternoon. The figures for fielding and batting follow: AB.

GOME IN AND TALK IT OYER AN IDEAL POSITION FOR THE RIGHT PARTY SHOW ADVANTA 0 1 TOLEDO, June 6. Testerday was a day of contrasts at the training camps of Jes Willard and Jack Dempsey on Miuraee bay, While the heavyweight champion put in the heaviest work of his training period to date, with his quarters the ecene of activity, his challenger was practically idle, indulging merely in a short swim in the morning and a motor car ride in the afternoon. A capacity crowd, including 200 women, jammed Willard's quarters. and watched him go thru his training stunts; Dempsey's place resembled a deserted village. Willard boxed six rounds, covered five miles on the road, tugged at the weights, shadow boxed and wrestled, it was an excellent workout, and the champion showed the stress of it.

He appeared to be winded easily, but experts at the ringside said this was to be looked for at this early phase of his training. Dempsey is beginning to chafe under his enforced idleness, but Jimmy DeForest, his trainer, has decreed that the challenger shall not resume training until Saturday. OMR GOOD BOUTS ON DE FOREST BILL Altho the Hayes-Ritchie bout is attracting the greatest attention, this feature will bs backed up by a fast semi-final and three excellent pre-flminaries at the DeForest s'iow at the Long Branch casino tonight. In the semi-final of six rounds Phil Lundy of New Tork clashes with Frankie Moore of Jersey City. Lundy has just returned from a series of triumphs in Philadelphia, where he met the best local boys there and was highly successful in all his engagement in the Quaker City.

Moore made a hit at Long Branch last week when he outpointed Young Jack Dempsey in a viciously fought contest at the casino. Three others bouts of four rounds' duration each will precede the two more important contests. The bout which is causing "the greatest amount of attention is the scheduled meeting of Smiling Fkitchie of Xewark and Charley Hayes of Mew York, who will clash in the main event of eight rounds. Hayes needs no introdacUon to the boxing fans of Monmouth county, for in his two previous appearances here he put up great exhibitions against both Willie Curry and Kid Henry. This evening he will meet a different opponent than either Curry or Hayes, as both of the latter are scientific ttlove wielders, while Smiling Knelii-pays little or no attention to the finer points of the game.

He is one of those irresistible boxers whit continually bores into his opponent with heavy wallops and carries- the to his man. fight DINE AND ELECT As a pleasing conclusion for a busy winter season the Queen Esther circle of St. Paul's church, Ocean Grove, list evening enjoyed a supper in the church dining room which was followed by the annual election of officers and appointment of secretaries as well as a general business meeting.

May Have Come From France. PHILADELPHIA, June 6. The Search In this city for bomb throwers continued with intensity when evidence from Washington gave an 'international tinge to the conspiracy.

The investigation by the department of Justice agents into the ene-lnies of Louis Jagielky, the jeweler home was blown up, who were responsible for malicious rumors about Jagielky during the war, causing a government investigation of his Tactions.

Frank B. Noyes, president of the Associated press, told the Pan-American con ference today the exchange of "true ungarbled and unbiased news" between the North and South American continents now being broght about by the membership of South American newspapers in the organization would be "more effectual in cultivat- 1 ing and maintaining the relations of I frienship and effection that should exist between the two continents of this hemisphere than all the propa-ganda that could be sent out by all the publicity agents that could be 1 put to work. "I am sure that it must be clear 1 that the interest of the Associated Press in the specific commercial pro ject that this conference is discuss ing must be purely platonic, he said. Any aid to general buying or cell ing that this fellowship and effort of the newspapers of North and South America bring will be only a by-pro duct of relation that had no such object in mind as an incentive to its creation. "I feel sure that I am speaking for our South American as well as the North American members in saying that we wish you godsped in your work.

We hope with you for an unceasing stream of chips carrying cargoes and passengers both north and south. For us we will see to it that a never ending stream of news of the world's happenings, its accomplishments and its failing shall flow between the two continents so that our people shall know each other better, feeling that as they know each other they will like each other more and more."

EXRICHIXG MIXTTTtF, BY CHOK ING CARBUKETOIt AIR E. Q. writes: For the sake of economy, I try to run my car on as thin a mixture as possible, but I find that this reducae Its hill climbing power. It is all right to keep my carburetor set as it is and use the "choker," when a little stronger mix. ture is needed, as when a hard hill is to be climbed? Answer: There is no harm In doing this, but it can hardly give you the be3t results.

The choker is not a sufficiently delicate means of regulating the mixture and has the disadvantage that a different degree of "choke" is required at each speed and throttle opening to produce a certain result. Very expert Judgment would be required to secure the mixture proportions desired. The greatest objection, however, lies in the fact that thus choking the carburetor, while it causes enrichment, also throttles down the engine and prevents the cylinders from taking full weight charges, just at the time when maximum power is needed. Some kind of dash, adjustment of the needle valve or auxiliary air is what you should have. FRONT WHEEL ADJUSTMENT 3.

DUBLIN, June 6. A girl and three to 1 a car should both point exactly straight ahead, along parallel lines, when the car is headed forward, but I am told they should point a little toward one another to give the best results. Why is this and how much should they point together? Answer: When running the wheels should point as you thought they should but, in order to make them do so in practice it is found necessary to so adjust them that, when the car is standing they should point slightly together in the forward direction. This is because the effect of the road resistance wjich they overcome tends to make them diverge slightly or "toe out" and any "spring" or looseness in the knuckles or in the connections of the cross rod may permit them to do so, and to wear the tire treads unduly. To counteract the effects of this tendency, fhe distance between the Centers of the tire treada measured at the front should be made about 5-16 inch greater than the corresponding distance measured at the rear, in the same horizontal plane.
