team. as winners of the Church
League pennant, do not consider the
city championship decided unless we
are considered ia the series OF games
to be played between Parkside and
Highland. We consider our league as
fast as either the Wilmington and
semi-Professional League therefore
the city championship cannot be de-
cided unless the Church League is
considered. The Old Swedes. team
would like to arrange series of
games TO be played with the winners
of the Parkside- Highland series or If
It can be arranges We suggest a series
Of games considering all three teams.
The team winning could. without
doubt. claim the championship of VIII
mington emitting of course, the Inter-
City League. which we consider a pro-
fessional organization
If same can be brought about will
the managers Of both Highland ard
Parkside kindly confer with Manager
Hanna of Old Swedes? In a series
cannot be arranged the championship
of the city will not be decided between
Highland and Parkside as the people
of Wilmington who have been follow
ing all three leagues consider the
Church League as fast as either Of
the leagues.
Last season old Swedes played
Parkside, the winners of the All-Wil-
mington League pennant, which Park
side won by a narrow margin. Last
season Old Swedes finished third IN
the race and n third place team can
give a champion team run for their
money surely a first place team can
put up a better showing than they did
when I'm third place. This fact proves
lhat Old Swedes should be considered
in the championship series.
Very truly yours.

sTUDEBAKER co.'s STUNT.
viii Bring Dealers From all Over the
Country to the Factory.

What is undoubtedly the greatest
stunt of the kind ever attempted by
any concern is that now being per-
formed by the Studebaker Corporation
r. NJ. F factories in bringing $500
dealers from as many cities and towns
throughout the United States by spe-
cial train to Detroit and return. When
it is considered that some Of these
trains come from as far points as San
Diego, Cal; Tampa. Florida; Seattle,
Wash, and that each train consists of
six sleeping cars, dining cars, buffet,
smokers library. observation cars, il
will be understood that the stunt was
a rather expensive one. In fact, Gem
eral Manager Flanders admits that il
will cost the company $4,000 to $780,
600 to bring the % special trains to
Detroit and back at is impossible
to state what the actual cost will be
because we pay every detail of the
dealers expense from the time lie
leaves home until he returns there.
He is at liberty to order anything on
the bill, as it were In fact. these
trains are as luxuriously appointed as
any special that ever carried a coterie
of railway magnates on an inspection
| junket"
Perhaps it does sound a little ex-
! travagant," says Mr. Flanders, but
when a group of men have handled
nearly S30,000000 worth of automo-
biles a year and shown the loyalty and
enthusiasm our dealers have, we feel
that some return is due
"ln order to make il a purely pleas
ure trip we warned the dealers be-
forehand that the order department
would be closed and the sales depart
ment would be on a vacation. Aside
from pure pleasure it will of course
be of great educational advantage be-
cause we will take occasion to show
our dealers our manufacturing plants
and take them through the entire pro-
cess of manufacturing our cars. That
this will be of inestimable value IA
them in selling ! am certain, and even
If we we're looking for monetary re-
turns for the expense we incury in
bringing them on. / believe We would
be amply rewarded at the end of the
year by increased enthusiasm and a
more careful handling of the business
What I am particularly anxious to ac-
complish however. is to alley the doubt
which | know exists in some dealers
minds that we will not be able to pro-
duce the $4,000 autom0biles-3O. .00O
Flanders go" and 10000 EMF go
which we have promised them for tho
coming twelve months"
