On of Thair Pat Sohamaa Is to Dia guiaa Thamsalvaa aa- Rapairars and Opanly Tow tho Car Away Ordi nary Safaguarda Ara a Joka to Tham. The man who steals an automobile Is oue of the cleverest mechanlciaus lu the country. He knows every make of car from the steering wheel to the tires, and there Is scarcely any precautlou taken by the owner of tho cur to safe guard his property that the automobile tblef cannot beat. Some car owners fondly iuiagine that when they chain the wheel of their car with a fairly thick steel ebalu they have made it impossible for any crook to more the aUto from its anchorage. The simplicity of this safeguard must cause hilarity among the motorcar crooks, for the ordinary steel chain can be cut lu a second with the appliances that the motor thieves carry in their outlit. But most car owners couslder they have made the car Immovable by mere ly locking the switch box. It will Inter est theui to know that the car thieves can beat this precaution very enslly. The clever mechanician who makes a business of stealing cars can cross wires so as to cause Ignition and move the engine without bothering with the switch box ut all. A method that Is kin dergarten to the car thief Is to connect wires from the dry cell battery direct to the Ignition coil, thus Btartlug the motor without difficulty. Some enrs have devices by which the gasoline supply can bo locked, uud ,thls Is regarded by some owners us placing a hopeless barrier In the way of the thief who would run off with the standing car. For how can a car be moved when the supply of gasoline Is shut off? Nothing easier. The motor car thief curries with him his own sup ply of gasoline in a llask. With this gasoline tho automobile thief cau nego. tiate a good run with tho car by con-, nectlng his flask of gasoline direct to the carburetor. Feeding the gasoline to the carburetor through a rubber hose, the automobile thief cun send the car sufficiently fur to enable him to put the gasoline tank and the cur lu regu lar commission and speed where he will to safety and a sale. But tho commonest add therefore tho safest trick of the utitomoblle thief re quires no expert mechanical knowl edge. It simply requires nerve, which j these thieves possess to nn unusual de gree, xnis inciv is me oiu oue or Driv ing up In an auto that looks like a ga rage repair wagon, hitching la ropo to the cur that is to be stolen and towing It nwny. The thieves dress for the part in oil soaked overalls. When they have selected the car to be stolen, picking oue that is in a side street and not like ly to bo uuder the eye of a policeman who may have been tipped to watch tho car, the thieves come up to the scene in their old car, looking like the ordinary crew sent for from the garage to repair a car that Is In trouble or Isn't working as well us Its fastidious owner would wish. They alight from their own car and make a great pretense of examining the car that they Intend to spirit away. They, remove the hood and scrutinize tho motor. They get out a kit of tools and tinker for awhile with some part of the machinery. If any one should happen to be watching them or looking on from a neighboring window all the men do has the appearance of natural work by honest workmen from the repair shop. Presently tho men hold a consultation, pointing to some part of the motor machinery, nnd apparent ly come to the conclusion that the car cannot be started with the tools at their command, 'i'hen they hitch a rope to the car and tow It away at the end of their own car. Could anything be more simple? How can you beat such a game as this? Currying away part of the ma chinery does not prevent Hi? tMevcs from towing the car away. One sure way to prevent robbery Is to bavo the car watched. The policeman on that patrol will l oop an eye on It if you are ouly going to make a visit to some office building and coming buck In a short time, nut If you keep your car in the street the entire (lay no 0110 can watch it. You ore simply taking a chance with the car thieves. There are other ways of makiirjr the path of the motorcar crook ns steep and difficult as possible. One motor ist believes be has solved the tblef problem by having a slot cut In the clutch pedal shaft. Throus;h this ho passes a bar which he locks. So far his car has nut been stolen. Another way Is to remove the rotor. This makes It very difficult for any thief to steal the car, for he would have to carry a number of rotors to be sure of having one that would fit that par ticular motor.

La Grande and Imbler yes terday struggled through a 5-2 score game with Jmbler winning. A close decision at Ivome plate in tho fifth with men on bases, stopped La Grande's most effective rally. Me- sei ve who has not been going so very skookum as a pitcher previously this year, was all to the good yesterday and struck out Hi men and put Imb ler batters down to a one-hit basis. Bell, for Imbler, allowed three hits. Miller, an old-time ball player who was badly out of practice caught for La Grande and Berry played first base. On the Lu Grande club Mcln nis, Wnlden and Palmer got the only hits of the day for La Grande. It was a. tine game throughout and gave tho Im'bler fans good entertainment.
