SHOW ASSURED
FOR DETROIT (
Organization Of Michigan Man
ufacturers Will Soon Be An
nounced To Run the
New Venture. rs
Affair Expected To Develop Into
National Show, Displacing New
York's Historic Exhibitions.

Formal announcement will soon be
made of an organization OF Michigan
motor car manufacturers. the purpose
OF which will be the management or
an annual fall show In Detroit, for the
benefit OF the trade alone. Matters
have progressed To such stage that
the affair is now assured. The leading
factories of Detroit have already CIV
en- the plan their approval and all OF
the state concerns interviewed on the
matter have been enthusiastic In their
response The first OF these shows
will be held during August, 19OS--in
all probability during the first week
and the event Will be made, so FAR as
possible, the occasion OF an annual
gathering OF the retail dealers OF the
country who will be expected TO be
present and place their orders for the
cars which they will handle during
the coming year.
For some time the project of trade
show at the center OF the manufactur-
ing industry has been agitated here.
The fact that most dealers place their
orders in the fall has made the New
:, York show virtually local affairs for
the past two seasons. IL Is argued.D
troit is the logical location for such
an event from the standpoint or the
manufacturers and the location or the
show at this point would result in a
tremendous saving of money. The
middle west as a market Is becoming
increasingly important and the only
people who would be at all discommod-
ed would be the dealers situated In
the east, most OF whom make fall
trip TO the Detroit and Michigan fac
tories al present, before ordering
their lines

we have demonstrated that our plan

buyers and manufacturing trade to-
gether. While we shall call IL a Mich.
igan show, cars made outside the
state will not be barred but invita-
lions will be rendered TO the trade In
Cleveland. Indianapolis and other
neighboring trade centers.
We see no reason why the Detroit
show should not develop into an en-
terprlse which will annually bring TO
this city a host OF $4,000 automobile
buyers. resulting in one OF the great

The Columbus game Is worthy of
further comment in that virtually the
entire combat was fought out in the
tent inning.
Each side scored one run in the reg
ular period of play. The Tiges got
theirs on Jones single, Cobb's sacri-
fee and Rossman's hit. The associa-
ton players got one on a homer over
the fence by Catcher James. a near
big-leaguer.
In the tent Mcintyre and Bush
singled and Davy Jones made his bunt
good. Cobb tripled and came home on
an infield out.
The Columbus bunch got to Suggs

O'Rourie walked and Odwell singled

home James whacked TO center and
two more runs came home. making
the score 8 to 4 Suggs then bracec
