FINANCES OF S, A. L. IN EXCELLENT SHAPE Reports of receipts ' last night showed that the S. A. L. is pretty well off financially and if the circuit can break even for the remainder of the season the annual banquet will be on a more elaborate scale than the one last year. As several of the directors stated last night, "let's make it a chicken banquet this year." Harry Diddlebock. of The Palladium was appointed new official scorer of the circuit and began his duties today, working at Easthaven. There was some talk Of putting on another exhibition game later in the season but no decision was reached in the matter. The crusial game, the Natco-Vigran game was talked of as being a mighty good Sunday game, but as both teams would be weakened by the absence of two or more of their regular players the manager Would - not consent to this arrangement. Three new players were listed, E. P. "Whitey" Ettinger having joined the Vigrans and Harry Parrlab and William Ryan the Advance-Hills. Clayton Knight, Ad-Hill, was suspended indefinitely. TOURISTS KEEP MEN AT M'CONAHA SHOP BUSY AT ALL HOURS J. A. Elleman of Fountain City, is the latest purchaser of a Maxwell, his car having been delivered to him yesterday morning. This made the seventeenth Maxwell and the fiftyninth machine sold by the McConaha Company this season. The company continues to be bothered with deliveries and a member of the firm said it Was no trouble to sell automobiles but it was blankety blank hard to get them. Six Maxwells are on the way here and two of them have already been ordered. - Three Studebakers are expected this week. Mr. McConaha said that he thought this would be the greatest season the automobile industry has ever seen and that if the weather would clear up and the farmers given an opportunity to get their wheat all in. that more machines would, be sold within the next twenty days than ever before in the same period of time. There is plenty of travel through the city, dozens of parties passing through every day, and the garage is kept busy making repairs. Many of the travelers stop over night and during the layover have their cars overhauled. This keeps the night man at the McConaha garage busy. ELECTRIC COMPANY HANDLES 2 CARS The Richmond Electric company has taken over the agency for the Milburn and Detroit electric cars. Both of these machines are too well known to need description, suffice to say that they are the leaders when it comes to electrics. A surprise is in store for the public when the price of the Detroit car is announced next week. It has always sold for $3,000, but there is going to be a big reduction. Edward Anderson, secretary of the company, and C. T. Wiley have charge of this department. ROOP BLAZES

Thirty-six members of the Commercial league are clouting for 300 or over as shown by the averages compiled by Todd, the Pennsy manager, who furnished the following table.

MINER BROWN WEAR DEATH IN HOSPITAL

( w ) t) w ft I j

Mordecai Brown, one of the stars of the pitching staff of the Chicago federal team, and for years one of the leading pitchers of the Chicago Nationals, is in a hospital in Chicago suffering from an acute attack - of nephritis. His physicians express doubt as to his recovery. EASTERN AGENCIES LIKE DAVIS AUTOS George W. Davis said today that the six Cylinder Davis will be a revelation to the automobile World and that it would be ready for exhibition at the factory Monday. If it is possible the public will be given an opportunity to see the car on the street on that day. W. W. Gawthrop, Philadelphia agent for the Davis company, has been so insistent and has urged so strongly, that they have decided to ship him this first model on Tuesday, so that Richmond people who are interested will have to go to the Davis factory Monday if they want to be sure and see it. Several large contracts have been received from dealers in Pittsburg, Columbus, Chicago, Omaha, Minneapolis and other cities, and tbey are all anxious to see the new model. Delieveries in quantities will begin about August 30 and Mr. Davis said that he looked forward to 1916 to be the banner year in the factory's history. . ' JONES & SPANGLER FIRM TO REPRESENT NEW CAR IN COUNTY Jones & Spangler who bought the Brlcker Garage on East Main street this week have been busy re-arranging their stock and making improvements so that they would be enabled to attend to their many customers more efficiently, will start an active campaign next week on the Haynes and Reo cars, of which they are the local agents and they anticipate doing a big business. Both of these cars have national reputations and the new firm already have a large number of prospective sales in view. Mr. . Spangler said he expected to spring a surprise on the public witnin the next few days when the firm will announce the agency of a new car that will compete with any now on the market at a price that will be startling. They refuse to divulge the name of the machine they have in view but say it is one with a big rep utation behind it. Under the new management the customers at the garage already show an increase in numbers and the repair department of which a .feature is be ing made is kept on the jump. LEAGUE TRAIL

Gas Fumes for Fans 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 With Machine Fever

There was little of interest in automobile circles during the past week, the most impbrtant events , being the switch in the management of the Bricker garage and the tryout of the new Davis six. Thirty-five Fords are expected here within the next few days. The "dimmer" trials failed to come off as per schedule, and the automobile enthusiasts are certain that nothing more will be heard of the ordinance. No one would be surprised if a raid was made some night in the hear future by the police against some of those who persist in speeding through the city streets. It is rumored that the Westcott Motor company will put its car to a novel test. It is proposed to send, a Westcott car down Main street without a chauffeur, in order to show the flexibility of the machine. -An agency for the Hupmobile may be started in the near future. Local owners of motor cars declare that it is not they who do the speed THE

PU I

PULLMAN AUTO PLUNGES INTO WATERS OF LAKE

According to Frank Taube, local agent for the Pullman automobile, Germany's under-sea blockade Is but a mere side show compared with the submarine exploits of a five passenger Pullman Junior touring car, which after crashing through the railing and a two and a half inch water pipe on

the Stone avenue bridge, plunged Into deep waters of the Lake Union for a cruise of four days. The peppery little car was being driven at a terrific rate of speed, and the driver, becoming excited, headed it for the railing. The car had gained such momentum that It ripped straight through the timbers, broke a two and a half inch pipe, aviated for about 20 feet through the air, and then decided to explore the bottom of the lake. For four days search for the car was made end finally it was located about 20 feet from where it left the bridge. A diver was engaged and he went down into the lake and fastened ropes to the machine, the undertaking being witnessed by a great crowd. It was raised to the deck of a scow without great difficulty. Considering the terrific impact with the railing and water main, and the, fact that It had remained at the botto mof the lake for four days, the amount of damages done to the Pullman Junior was surprisingly slight. The wind shield was broken into bits, the top was ruined and the mud-guard 3 were bent. Immediately after it was brought to the surface, the water was ' drained from the engine and gasoline tank, a new storage battery substituted for tho one that was ruined, and the gasoline tank was re-filled. The engine was cranked, and after a vigorous whir-r-r it started. Mechancally, the car . appears none the worse for its sensational drive. The body is not badly damaged and the upholstery shows very little sign of its four days of , visiting in the water. The condition of the machine after its rescue from the lake, speaks volumes for the staunchness and durability of the Pullman Junior.

The little six, listed at $1100, is rapidly nearing the stage when it will be tested out and if present plans do not miscarry it will be ready for the dealers in three weeks. The Pilot company is busy on. plans for additional factory buildings and work on them may be started at an earlier date than was expected be cause orders are being received at such a rapid rate that more room will be necessary to supply the demand. The icing of refrigerating cars will be dispensed with by the invention of a new system by which the warm air is pumped out of the cars and replaced with cold. The scheme has Just been patented.

Miss Wil fley, who Is: the seventeen year old daughter of a minister, tells the story as follows: "It has never been our good for. tune to own a gasoline car, so I know very little about machines. While walking down a very steep hill there in Washington. Chapin street, (between 14th and 15th streets) the cry of a woman aroused me. Glancing up I saw a Ford car starting down the bilL with no one at the wheeL A littie child was in the front seat, and a woman in the rear one. - l ne cniia, wniie cnmoing aooui me car had loosened the brake, and tha car had. started. Several men were standing about but not one of them seemed to realize the danger. The car by this time, was some little distance from me. but I threw down my books and fairly flew after it. Fortunately, one of the doors was open, so I easily jumped in, although the car was moving rapidly. i "At first I could only steer It but then I struck the right pedal and stopped It. "I Just wanted to teU yon bow the simplicity of your machine enabled me to save the two, for it . would almost certainly have been fatal if the car had not been stopped before it reached the foot of the hill, where there is a car line and much traffic.
