THE STANDING

(By JINaOE.)

Much confldonce in Hammond's j ability to defeat Waukogan in thoir lit-j

tie tilt tomorrow is prevalent both among: players an(I fans. Betting circles are active and it looks as though supporters of the Hammond club will gobble up every bet available. It is Manager Artie Hoffman's opinion that we can win easily. He declares that if Hammond's sluggers will attend strictly to business and bat in the same good form that has been apparent in our last few games, the mighty "Smoke' Halas, twirler for the visitors, will feel like turning his job over to someone else. We opine that when he sees "the Peerless Pete" In action, he will forget that he ever was eo mighty, anyway. Hammond is indeed proud of her twirler. and if this man Halas can show him anything we'll doff our hats, thats all. Speaking of the teams in general we don't think that they are so fast. "We think they ere lucky in attaining first place in the league. Following is & comparison of the two teams last two performances. Vaukegan beat the West Knds last Sunday, 6 to 5. and two weeks ago the Hammond club beat the same aggregation, 7 to 1. Two weeks ago Waukegan edged out the Ideals. 4 to 3 and Hammond shut them out last Sunday to the tune of 6 and 0. That's why we think that we "lay over' the said champions and why we have a little better

than merely a "chance" to beat thern

for the championship of the City League tomorrow. Owner of the club, Farduhn, expects a. crowd of 2,500 or 3,000 at this game. If the weather permits. He feels sure that the gate tomorrow will reimburse him for his losses in the last few congests in Hammond.

THINGS THEY SHOULD REMEMBER (By A TAN.) In regard to the article in Thb Times August 9. written by a member of the Peerless A. C. of East Chicago who claim the championship of the Twin Cities In the article they said they bet the Triangles three times.

We wish to let it be known that the Triangles at that time averaged less than 15 vears and the Peerless A. C 17, and then they still have the gumption enough to consider that a good victory. Since the Triangles have reorganized they have won 16 games and lost 4, two of the games they lost were played under protest and the visiting team admitted the Triangles were right. They have defeated the fast Griffith A. C twice. Dollas & 5arber once. Peerless A. C. 1-2. -S, Klk Jrs. three times. Standard Colts one, Whiting Eraves one. Chesterton Colts twice. Ind. Harbor Dodgers three times. Jordan Colts twice and lost to St. Stanislau one. Dollas & Garber two. Peerless 1. In a recent article our manager stated we won 9 and lost 3. It was Just a mistake in writing, he did not figure 7 out of town games which are in our old score book. The Triangles have a few open dates and would like to play the Peerless and Dollas & Garbers to show these teams they are confident of winning, they are willing to play them on any field. These teams must remember that the Triangles average less than 16 years and the Peerless A. C. average over 17. Dollas Sz Garber are also ctoser to 18 than to 17. The Triangles have a wonderful record since they have not played a team of their age this year. I hope these teams will consider this offer and call Harbor 8S4 about 6:15 and ask for Cecil.

Send THE TIMES to your soldier boy. Let him see how we left behind are backing him up.

The first round in the Hammond Country Club's golf championship for both the first and second flights will take place this afternoon. There were hardly enough players qualifying last Saturday to fill two flights where in past yee.rs there have been three full flights and over. This has been the poorest golf year the Country Club has t-ver had and though the course has tievirr been in better shape the interest in the game has never been as poor. In this event the club championship which is supposed to be the premier event of the year. Only about 23 players are entered and there are several defaults in the first round even.

GOLF TITLE CAPTURED BY WRIGHT

Boston Player Beats R. Allen Haight for Western Junior Honors.

Fred J. Wright Jr. of the Albermar'.e Club of Boston yesterday won the title of western junior golf chanvpion at Exmoor when he defeated R. Allen Haight of the Massapequa Club of Long Island by 5 up and 4 to play, in the deciding contest. The match was one of the closest of the tournament for the first part of the round. At the end of nine holes matters were all-square with each player registering medal scores of 37. On the return journey, however. Wright continued his excellent work and through his ability to hole long putts he soon won the lead and the match. The last five holes were taken by the Bostonian, who did not allow his opponent to win a single hole on that part of the round. The bye holes were played out and Wright finished with a medal score of 73. which is equal to par, with Haight registering 78.

The first big drive for volunteers will take place at the Garden City Park tomorrow afternoon, when Tommy Asmussen's Gunthers stack up against Bill Nicsen's Garden Citys in a Chicago League championship battle. Tomorrow's drive will be under the direction of Captain Lutter, adjutant of the Second Regiment. The regimental band will be on hand and render a concert before and during the game.

third game for these two teams and they each have a game apiece to their credit so this will add a little more ginger to the combat. The K. of C. play their old stumbling block the S. S. A. C. at New York avenue and should the Southies win they will have made a clean sweep of their three games with the Knights. The dope however favors the K. of C. for they have been cleaning up in all of their games lately. The Booster-Forester game will have no bearing on the league standing, their game now being a matter of form and part of the schedule. The Foresters should win this game.

Today's Prices are Based on Last Year's Material Costs. Present Markets have already forced 51 makers to add $100 to $700 to their prices

Former $1200 and $1400 cars now cost about as much as a Hudson Super-Six. No changes warrant such an increase. They are practically the same as the cars which recently sold at $200 to $303 less than the Hudson Super-Six. Cars in the $2000 class and up have increased from $350 to $700. That removes them further from the Hudson Super-Six rice. Increased cost of material is responsible for the higher prices. Hudson prices have not increased this year. Our natcrials were contracted for months ago. When present supplies are exhausted then Hudsons, too, must cost more. Until then Hudson, because of its value, is the lowest priced car on the market. Here is an indication of how prices have been affected. Consider just one item. The principal material in a fine automobile is steel. All steel is made from iron. For 25 years before the Great War the average price of iron was a few cents over $16 a ton. In December last it was $30 a ton. It now is $54 a ton. Makers who bought materials this year must get more for their cars than for those built of materials bought last year. Good Fortune for Hudson Buyers Even when other cars sold at $200 to $300 less, Super-Six sales exceeded those of any two makes in the $1200 to $1400 class. Now that there is no such difference in price you can realize how much greater will be the demand for Hudsons. The present supply won't last long. Then Hudson, too, must cost more. , There can be no preference now that former cheaper cars cost as much as the Super-Six. Super-Six endurance makes it the preferred among fine cars. In every revealing test it has proved endurance unequalled by any other car. All Due to the Super-Six Motor Hudson leadership is due to the Super-Six motor. Xo other motor is like it. It minimizes vibration. That increases power and lengthens motor life. Vibration is the most destructive force in a motor. All Hudson tests show how by minimizing vibration endurance is obtained. The Super-Six is the most powerful automobile motor of its size known. .

Xo owner has yet discovered the real limits of Super-Six endurance and almost 40,000 Super-Sixes are now in daily service. Endurance is the most wanted qualtiy of a motor car. A car should not wear out soon. It should not require frequent mechanical attention. That Hudson has proved. You Need No Greater Proof for Hudson A double transcontinental run with a sevenpassenger phaeton broke every previous record each way. Pike's Peak, up the highest and longest mountain road iiv the world, was climbed by a SuperSix special in less time than any other car. Twentytwo of the. world's fastest special cars contested. A stock chassis established the record for the fastest mile. A stock Super-Six phaeton made the fastest time for one horn. Carrying driver and one passenger, car fully equipped, it traveled 100 miles at an average of 74.(57 miles per hour. , A stock chassis made the greatest 24-hour longdistance run on record. It covered 1810 miles in that time and at the stop showed nothing to indicate that its endurance had been reached. , But these tests, greater than any other car ever made, were not enough to reveal the limits of Hudson endurance. Then special racing cars were built that they might compete on the speedway with the world's fastest, most carefully built automobiles. The same principle that accounts for Hudson endurance in the stock cars, is included in these. The American speedway record for 200 miles was established by one of them at an average speed of 104 miles an hour. That speed for that distance calls for endurance beyond that which ordinarily is needed in a lifetime's requirements. These are proofs of Hudson endurance. They indicate the service you may expect from a Hudson Super-Six. If such tests mean nothing to you because of their extremes, then think what the service to almost 40,000 users means. There can be no greater assurance than that. There is no advantage now in buying another car, not even the apparent saving in the first cost price. But the number of Super-Sixes that can be built from last year's material purchases is limited. If you are to get your car at the present price it must be from that number. You must decide soon.
