On the long, steady pull or a sudden rise in the road ahead, give 'er the gas and she'll make it on high—with tried-and-true Atlantic in the tank. For, hill-hesitation has been extracted from Atlantic Gasoline in the making. The formula demands that. MI ATTANTIHOI ■ Yes, Sir! A tankful of Atlantic Gasoline is a tankful of terrific power, challenging the throttle to go the limit. When you want power, you press the accelerator and the Atlantic delivers instantly. An organization of refiners with fifty years' experience and a conscience sees to it that the vaunted uniformity of Atlantic Gasoline is an actuality, never deviated from. Test this out for yourself. Pull up along the curb where you see the Atlantic sign and tell the man to crank up. Then when the steep climb looms up, give 'er the gas.

With their rivals In the lead by a narrow margin of one run the Commonwealth players went' to bat In tho third Inning and when the smoke of conflict had cleared away they had collected flvo runs, adding another tally In the sixth, or a total of a half dozen during the twilight session. "Dutch" Connors should, by all the rules of the game, have won his duel with Herbert Washlnger, who was on the hill for the Commonwealth. Besides allow ing the Engineers and Firemen six hits he struck out six of them as against three by Washlnger, but one of the six hits was a home run by Gerdes, and another a two base clout by L. Bell, made at times when runs were needed. On the other hand Wagner and Oscar Waltz smote out doubles, and Rote, the fast third sacker, clouted for three bags. It was apparent that the sym pathies of the hundreds on the bleachers were with the defeated! team, which has played in the hard- i est kind of luck throughout the sea son. The kindly feeling of the I crowd for the Engineers and Fire- I j men was shown repeatedly, although the splendid playing of the winners, who are charged with but a single error, and that one by the usually reliable Mr. Hinkle, drew forth ap plause in plenty. For instance, when Gordon Ford made a one-hand catch of a fly ball in right field the applause did not subside until he raised his cap in response' to the de mands of the fans. Wagner, like wise, had to doff his cap after he had caught a hard fly in left field. The umpiring of Cook called forth considerable adverse comment. Gerdes hit a long fly close to the foul line in right field. From the scorer's box it seemed certain that the ball hit on fair ground. So cer tain was Gordon Ford that the ball had gone foul that he made no spe cial effort to catch Gerdes who was racing for the home plate. Cook, who has umpired In satisfactory fashion in many games called it fair and maintained that his decision was correct, but the bleacherites thought otherwise and showed their disap proval by hooting the arbiter. After the game members of both teams admitted that the conduct of the fans If persisted In would result in lessening the crowds at the games. They said, too, that it was a hard matter for the people on the bleach ers to hold their peace when their favorites were losing. The games at West End Park have given much pleasure to thousands of lovers of the pastime. "I wish for the sake of the sport," said one of the league officials last evening, "that crowds would be a little more patient with the work of the umpires chosen to officiate at the league contests. Umpires are only human. They do not make mistakes Intentionally. Besides that, they're In better posi tion to Judge plays than the crowds who many times—are not In posi tion to say whether the umpire has made an error.
