received a raw deal Britt and Jones

Commercial Auto Supply
Company Is Local Agent.

Another Million Dollar Dear and
one fraught with as much significance
as any recently made in the automobile
business was consummated Friday.
This was the purchase Of the automO-
bile plant Of the De Luxe Motor Car
Company at Clarke and River streets.
Detroit, by the EMF Automobile Com
pany. of which Walter (. Flanders is
president and general manager. The
deal was pulled OFF in so brief a time
after the first negotiations began that
nobody in automobile or real estate cir
cles had the slightest suspicion of what
was on foot. 1t was a Characteristic
Flanders deal.
While the parties interested declined
to state the exact amount involved,
competent authorities knowing the
value of the plant state that it was
somewhere between 'three-quarters of a
million and one million dollars. One
WelI-infOrmed party places the figures
at $4,000. II was q cash deal through
out, involving no exchange of stock or
other interests. All the land, buildings

The race for the American Associa-
ton Dennaut at this period is most ex-
citing. Between Milwaukee, at the
head, and Kansas City, at the foot
of the league, are only O. points in
percentage. The first six clubs are so
closely punched that the loss of a game
or two would make the leaders second
division members and put those in sixth
place in the van.
With reference TO a report that Mr..
Dewey. president OF the Boston National
League. has asked for waivers on Ger
tain players, il was stated recently that
he was willing to let Dahlen, Lindaman,
and Mccarthy go. Ii is understood hat
the Lynn club of the New England
League, win bid for either Lindaman
or Mccarthy if the major clubs do not
secure them
The Boston Red SoX have exercised
their option on Anderson, a pitcher, and
Yerges. a shOTtstOp, of the Eastern car
oIina Association. Each has been pur-
chased for Sl.00O.
Charles W Murphy, president Of the
Chicago Nationals declared Saturday in
BROOKLYN that Johnny" King. the
hold out" catcher, could not be pur-
chased for any price, even IN seven fig
ures. Before he can manage the
Brooklyn team he must report to the
Cubs" Insisted Mr.. Murphy.
