SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924 Johnson Knocked Boards Off Old Livery Stable At Olinda Walter Johnson, pitcher for the Senators, is an old Olinda boy, friends of his showed today, and got most of his practice in local games and knocking the boards off livery stable in his own home town. Those were the days when the Los Angeles team got waxed here occasionally. The Olinda team played all of its home games in Anaheim and was practically an Anaheim team. Frank Dillon of the Pacific Coast League thought Johnson was too awkward, ever to make a good pitcher and passed him up. Johnson went to the Wisser, Idaho team, and after three months was picked up by the Senators and has been with them ever since. The Wisser team was the only professional one besides Washington on which Johnson played, it is said, although he was long a semi-roo. R. E. Coffman of Tustin knows Johnson well and Johnny Tuffee of Placentia, played with him on the Olinda team. Tuffee's position was center field. Along with them were Jack Burnett, who played short stop and third; Joe Burke, now U.S. District Attorney at Los Angeles, second; Joe Warner, right field; Bob Isbell, first base, who still is at Olinda, died Easterly, who later was on the Cleveland team; catcher; Le Brandt and Guy Meats also caught; Rube Ellis, who quit the Los Angeles team last year; Claire Head, brother of the attorney, who played short stop and third; Arthur Nott, third, and Arthur Cripps, later with the Seattle team. Cripps is the man who taught Johnson how to pitch, says Tuffee. The two of them spoiled the wall of the livery stable, so a backstop was put up for them. The Olinda team was known far and wide. Johnson played not only on this team, but pitched in many mixed teams. With a good catcher behind home plate Johnson often proved almost a team in himself, his old friends say.

LUBRICATION QUESTIONS Answered by ASSOCIATED OIL COMPANY Staff of Automotive Engineers LUBRICATION Question—Auto QUESTION—The spark plugs in my motor become carbonized and sooty very easily. Is this due to the lubricant or to piston rings? ANSWER—There are several causes which would contribute to your spark plugs becoming sooty. First, a badly worn motor, which would allow an excess amount of lubricating oil to enter combustion chamber, would cause this condition. Second, poor piston rings would also allow an excess amount of oil to cause this damage. Third, a poor grade of motor oil, which burns, leaving excess carbon. In this connection, a high-grade cyclo-naphthenic base lubricating oil will deposit a minimum amount of carbon and reduce this trouble to a minimum. QUESTION—What is meant by a piston seal? ANSWER—The lubricating oil in a motor forms a film of oil between piston and cylinder walls. Its prime purpose is to lubricate. It also forms a seal between the cylinder and piston, allowing a minimum amount of gas to escape into the crankcase, and in this manner, giving good compression. This is known as the piston seal and is a very important function of lubricating oil in any motor. QUESTION—Can lubricating oil drained from the crankcase after use be reclaimed? ANSWER—Used oil taken from the crankcase of automobile engine cannot be successfully reclaimed and used for the same purpose. The internal combustion engine puts any lubricating oil to a most severe service and there are various means of reclaiming used oil, it would not be economical to use this class of product over again. Good lubricating oil is relatively cheap and one of the best investments to insure long life of any motor. QUESTION—How often should the lubricating oil be changed in the operation of a tractor? ANSWER—the question of how often lubricating oil in a tractor should be changed depends entirely upon the use to which the machine is being put and the size of the engine. Tractor service is very severe, and generally speaking lubricating oil should be changed after about 70 hours of run. ARM FRACTURED Little Lucille Reillech, four, was pushed in play from a bale of hay at her home six miles west of Anaheim, and broke the left arm at the elbow joint. She was brought to the Anaheim Community hospital by Dr. Paige and returned to her home after the bone was set.
