Springfield at Muskegon. Evansville at Ft. Wayne. Dayton at Grand Rapids. Returning from a twelve day road trip with a record of six games won and three lost, this record being made against two of the strongest teams In the league, the Quakers open here for a three-game series, including a postponed game with Evansville Sunday afternoon. During the team's trip, It has gained tthe respect of the other teams in the Seague. The Quakers started the ceason under poor management and with discord among the players. In the last five games of the club's last stay here, a decided improvement was shown in the play of the team. Rufe Gilbert, who was given the reins of the club the night before it started on the road, has been dubbed "The Miracle Man" and he baa gained this name rightly. May Set New Record. Richmond is one of the few towns in

the circuit that has been operating Us club without a loss this season and in order to continue to do so, it will be

necessary to boost the team all tne time. Sunday afternoon's crowd should set a new record for the park.

Some time ago. Manager Stahlhefer, f the Evansville club, declared that

Richmond was not classy enough for

the Central league, but Manager, GU

- bert has promised to show the Evas some real class in baseball. Sunday's

crowd should reach the three thousand

mark. BENDERS BUNCH HIT8

, SOUTH BEND. Ind.. June 30. By

' bunching their hits in the seventh and ; eighth innings, the Benders defeated

Gilbert's Quakers in the second game

of the series here today 2 to 0. Jake

Fromholz pitched good tall . for the

visitors but in the seventh he let down lust enouerh to allow a Bender to get

around the bags for the first run of

the game. One run was all that was needed to win for Schettler, on the hill for Smith, refused to allow a Quaker to get anywhere near the plate. Richmond never had a chance to score but the Quakers fought hard throughout and made the contest one of the most interesting of any played here this season.

The High Cost of Living has evidently not affected baseball runs. In Friday's contests, Detroit made 19 runs against St. Louis and Boston made 13 against the Giants.

I Word comes from the provinces to I the effect that large delegations are to ! be 'on hand for the game at Exhibition nark Sunday afternoon. Fifty fans

from Connersvllle have asked for reservations at the park and delegations from Cambridge City. Newcastle and Winchester are expected. We're going to the game, are you? Fort Wavne was very generous Fri

day. Rather than let the Quakers drop back to the cellar they lost to Evansville. Tyrus Raymond got In for his share of Detroit's nineteen hits Friday.

Cobb's work consisted of two singles

and a triple in four trips to the plate

The Cincinnati Reds are having a lot of comfort In the fact that they

are winning from Pittsburgh.

Richmond is just seven and a half games behind SDrinfffield and the

Harvesters are on the top of the heap.

It is a great national movement investigated by the National Advisory Board to sell automobiles during this period.. The automobile is absolutely essential to the conduct of National Business and Industry. The Saxon Motor Car Co. are manufacturing an automobile that is absolutely the greatest value on the market today. Car values In the same price-class do vary. - Men generally know that now. It is clearly understood that the price. of a car does not depend alone upon the actual cost of the materials and the labor that go into the car. Such factors as the efficiency of the manufacturer, the shrewdness ot the ' purchasing department, the economy in building, the volume of the output are aH big and weighty influences upon the final price of any car.

So you will see it is possible that a

car selling at $200 or $300 less than

another may have more actual car

value than the higher priced car. It is true in regard to Saxon "Six,'

at $935, as compared to any other car priced from $200 to $H00 higher. That

we . know ; and it can be proved. Just for a minute consider this phase of the matter. One car of unusually high standing and deservedly so with the public, costing over $2,200, has these four features Timken axles, Timken bearings. Splrel bevel gear, Exide storage bittery that are also features of Saxon "Six," at $935.

Another car, costing over $3,000 has these six features Timken axles. Timken bearings, Fedders radiator, spiral bevel gear, semi-floating axle, Exide storage battery that are also Saxon "Six" features. Five cars costing from $4,000 up, have this feature Spiral bevel gear that is also a feature of Saxon "Six." So It goes throughout "Saxon "Six," In feature after feature. We can give you many more . similar instances showing that 40 cars costing from $1195 to $10,000 coincide with Saxon "Six" in two or more Important features. In other words, the Important features of . Saxon "Six" are the finest quality features that the automobile industry knows. Several factors have made it possible for the Saxon "Six" to be a quality car and yet sell for $935. It is manufactured efficiently, neither time nor labor is wasted or utilized inefficiently. Purchases of parts and materials are : made far . in advance. The changing conditions of the supply markets are under constant attention. Saving after saving is effected. Saxon "Sixes" are aJso built In vol

ume. Buying in quantity and building

in quantity opens the way to many marked economies. And the margin of profit on each

Saxon "Six" is kept low. Ever corner is clipped save that of quality. And so we can price Saxon "Six" nt $935 and yet have made it a bigger car value than any other at $200 or $300 more In price. It is not only a better-value car in point of costly car features as we proved to you in a paragraph or two above, but It is a better car in point of performance. If you have followed the hill-climbs, demonstration tests and other public motor car tests held from time to time you know how often Saxon "Six" has defeated cars not only of far higher price, but also cars with eight and twelve cylinders. And Saxon "Six" has proved its

greater prowess not in one phase of performance, but in flexibility as well as acceleration and in speed as well as hill climbing. It is an all-around, able car under every condition you may face in motor travel. And men thousands of them who have hitherto held $1,100 or $1,200 to te the lowest , price for fine quality cars are turning to Saxon "Six" at $935. - It . has proved its quality to them. They know that . $200 or $300 more can not buy a better value. F. a b. Detroit, the price Is $935. adv.
