Boston handed Chicago its sixth betback at the hands of eastern lggregations yesterday, 9 to 5. An sight run drive in the first inning, during which they drove Guy, Bush off the m.oiind and continued their assault on Sheriff Blake, enabled the Braves to win. Cards Hold Lead The -St. Louis Cardinals retained their half game lead in the National Na-tional league by winning from Brooklyn, 6 to' 2. Five Robin errors aided the Cardinals in their run manufacturing. Phelps held St. Louis to three hits until the eighth when he weakened and was replaced re-placed by Jack -Qulnri.

They are thought by many to be a blending of fox and wolf, but they differ from wolves in that they are never seen in large packs. They have a weird wail, similar to a fox's howl. Desert coyotes are a buffy-gray, which blends with their surroundings, surround-ings, but those living where shrubbery shrub-bery and trees abound are a more ruddy color. They are between a fox and wolf In size, but their. feair is -coarser. The coyote often bears as many as 14 whelps in one litter. When possible they kill and eat prairie dogs, gophers, rabbits, moles, cats and other small animals around grain fields. OEADTHK -a AWARDS GIVEN TO GRADUATES PAYSON.-Dr. George H.

Y., May 20. tr.Ht Jimmy McLarnin, most popular popu-lar of present day fighters, has reached thts - turning point in his career and the serious manner in which he is training at Gus Wilsons Wil-sons camo indicates that the Pacific coast slugger intends to make his .'ji incoming bout with Billy Petrolle a stepping stone to tho worlds welterweight championship. cham-pionship. The baby-faced Irishman, who has defeated eight world's champions cham-pions but never held a title, and Petrolle arp scheduled for a 10-lound 10-lound return bout at Madison Square Garden, May 27. In their previous bout last ; fall McLarnin received the worst beating of his career and narrowly ,r-acaped a knockout. A second victory for I-etrolle definitely would eliminate elimin-ate McLarn:A from top ranking in his class and probably would mean the end of his career whije a decisive deci-sive reversal of the previous decision deci-sion would "qualify the coast slugger slug-ger for a titular bout with welterweight welter-weight chaaipion Jack Thompson. McLarnin and his astute manager, man-ager, Pop Foster, previously have shown little interest in gaining a championship, believing they could make more money without a title, but Jimmy now is anx'oiu to win rhe title.

(Special) Twin-ignition, the high efficiency, high economy engineering engineer-ing principle which has distinguished distin-guished the engines of Nash motor cars for more than two years, is not a government requirement on all of tl:c great public carriers of the air. In its new set of official "air - regulations, reg-ulations, issued January 1 this year, and now in effect throughout the country, the United States department de-partment of commerce makes two spark plugs, per cylinder mandatory manda-tory as a basis of its "air worthi-icss worthi-icss requirements." "Dual ignition systems,' the department de-partment .decrees in Section 3 of its air commerce regulations fori engines and propellers, "with at .east two spark p:ugs per cylinder, ire required on all engines with a power rating of 40 horsepower or more." This ruling has the hearty endorsement en-dorsement of Nasi engineers who. through years bf actual public operation, op-eration, have watched twin-ignition prove itself as the most desirable of motor car developments. In exhaustive ex-haustive tests they have established estab-lished that this engineering principle prin-ciple applied 10 the Nash engine increases in-creases its power, steps up its speed, cuts down its (gasoline consumption con-sumption and consistently advances its efficiency. Both of the Nash straight eight series for 1931 are equipped with twin-ignition motors. In a recent test it was proved thatj the same motor, actuated by twin-ignition instead of single ignition, developed devel-oped 22 per cent more Horse power, five miles an hour higher speed, and delivered two extra miles of travel from a gallon of gasoline.
