Ana now the Athletics have
gone Nash. Nine members of Mr.
MacGilllcuddy's Philadelphia Ath
letic have joined the ranks of Nash
owners. The hatting order is as
follows: - -
: . Max Bishop, advanced six Vic
toria; Sammy Hale, advanced six
4-door coupe; t "Lefty" Groves,
advanced six sedan; J'MIctev"
Cochrane, advanced . six . sedan;
"Cy; Perkins, advanced six road
ster; Jimmy Pool, advanced . six Brigade to a game,
sedan; "Chick" Galloway, special
six sedan; Banmgartner, special
six 'sedan; "Slim" Harris, advanc
ed six 'sedan a whole team of
Nash-ltes. ,
. It Is rumored that this all-Nash
contingent, with Harris, Baum
ner and Perkins in the outfield,
Groves in the box and "Mickey"
behind the plate, are going to
challenge the rest of . the Mack
And if this battle does come off,
you don't have to guess on which
side J.- G. Roberts, Philadelphia
Nash distributor, is going to place
his money. '
"It Is only fitting that the Nashi
should be the favorite car of the
athletics," claims Mr. Roberts.!
VThe long sweeping Nash lined
and the smooth.- powerful perfor-j
mance suggest , Immediately , thej
qualities of youth, spirit and co
ordination-that have been respon
sible for the good showing-of the
Mackmen this .past season.
Incidentally, those who have
seen the mackmen in action and
have marveled at the towering
Gothic construction of Pitcher
"Slim" Harri&s, will never have
any doubts as to the general spa
ciousness that ' characterizes thr

UNSEEN "LEAKS" DRAIN
v AUTOIST'S POCKETBOOK
Drivers Neglect Many Factors That Affect Gasoline Economy
BY G. CLARK MATHER
Chief Engineer, Paige-Detroit :
Motor Car Company;
If you dicover leak iln your
gasoline ank. you have " It stop
ped at once. The expesse of the
repair work does not deter you,
because vou realize that; the leak
is even more expensive.'
But how about the unseen
leaks that drain your pocket-book
just as surely as a hole In your
gas tank?
. The fact 1 that many motorists
are suffering from such leaks,
and that tre leaks could be pre
vented at slight expense compared
with the loss they cause.
Anything that prvents the own
er from 'obtaining te maximum
mileage fro meach gallon, of gaso
line Is equivalent -to a ' gasoline
leak. - . ,' ' - . -;-
. " Even if the owners are careful
to the extent of having thW car-
" bu re tors properly," adjusted and
their valves correctly timed, few
of them realize the. loss they suf
fer by ignoring other factors of
fuel efficieency.'. " '
If yoa would "obtain the most
miles per gallon, check the follow
ing items:
. Dasr adjustment or choke rod
improperly set. Many choke val
ves s are fautilf set, so that when
the contol is ; in the forward or
wide - open position the I choke
valve will be at a sligrt angle,
restricting the fow of air and in
creasing the quantity of fuel used.
Be sure that when-the choke is
in the -running position the valves
is wide open. '
Leaky connections from the
tank. Examine the; lines to the
varuum tankf and to the Carbure
tor. .. v:-j." ..V- .
Fuel in float chamber. Make
certain that the level of the- fuel
in the float chamber Is not too
high.; : r
- TlmtaBijof distributor. -One
prevalent cause of high fuel con-!
sumption Is incorrectly timed dis
tributors In general. If the dis
tributor is so set. that, with the
spark in the full advance position
a slight "ping" is noted upon sud
den acceleration " with wide open
throttle, this cause is eliminated.
; Carburetor or manifold loose.
These conditions are quite of
ten responsible, for- defective car
buretion. Also,, gaskets at these
two points are some times 'affect
ed by the grale of fuel used and
cause air leaks.'.
; ; Under-Inflation of tires. This
has an appreciable effect on gaso
soline mileage.
; Operating temperatcre of mo
tor. When i cold .weathef ap
proaches It . is well to provide a
raliator cover or some other
means to insure operating at high
enough temperatures so that rea-

Markets With Eskimos
by Auto for First Time
HERB LAKE, Man. Far to
the north of here, a small auto
mobile chugs its way over -the ice
and snow, the first vehicle of Us
kind to invade the land of the Es
kimo. ,
" It was taken Into the far north
by John Harris, who'. has returned
to : his home there after market
ing a large number of furs here.
' On his visit to civilization,
Harris, brought his Eskimo wife
and three chldren, "lust to give
them a treat," and if wide and
wondering eyes were a criterion,
it was a treat for them.
When he returned, he . took
with him the small automobile,
besides a large stock of provisions
and goods, to be used in trading
with the natives. So far as Is
known here, it will be the first
automobile in this section of the
north. Harris also took a power
boat built in sections, and when
4 The new time payment pur
chase plan of the General' Motors
Acceptance Corporation when ap
pied to; the purchase, of Chevro
let automobiles makes the time
payment price of the car from
$15 to $35 lower, acJjrdiag to C.
S. Dawson, assistant general
sales manager of the Chevioet
Motor company.
Mr. Dawson expresses enthusi
astic approval of the plan.
Today the automobile; is a
necessity; it has long passed the
luxury stage,' said Mr. pawson
"Therefore like other necssities
the automobile logically may b
purchased out of current income
and a majority of automobiles
are so purchased.
"The G. M. A. C. plan; enables
the purchaser to buy his car out
of 4ncome without the imposition
of heavy premiums. A Chevro'et
now may be bought on ope-thlrd
down payment and operated) dur
ing the year in which the pay
ments are being completed at an
additional cost of only eight cents
per day for financiing the time
payments. .This eight cents, 'be.
sides meeting all Interest and
carrying charges, gives the pur
chaser complete fire and theft in
surance coverage for the year.
"Heretofore .when dealers were
financing their time 1 payment
sales through independent finance
companies the interest and carry
ing charges varied greatly accord
ing to the resources of those com
panies and the volume of their
business.
"The G. M. A. C. was organized
as an aid to the General Motors
dealers in order that they might
give their patrons the benefit of
lower : interest " and carrying
charges. Because of its immense
resourcs and the steady volume
of business which it receives from
the General Motors units, the G.
M. A".: C. enables dealers to reduce
Interest and carrying charges to
the absolute minimum.
"The G. M. A. C. time payment
plan is d'ove-tailing perfecty with
the Six Per Cent Certificate plan
by which prospective Chevrolet
owners are paid 6 per cent inter
est oh money deposited toward a
first payment on a car. When
this money and the interest reach
the, sum of a down payment,, the
car is delivered and the purchaser
completes his payments under the
twMfpensire G. M. A. C. financing
