The Reading Tri-State baseball play
ers refused to continue the series be-
tween Reading and Wilkes-Barre on
Saturday, objecting TO the arrange
ments to play two games Saturday

Monday. They insisted upon return

pite the efforts of Manager Cougnlin,
of Reading, and Manager Clymer' OF
Wilkes-Barre, to have them remain
and finish the series.
Reading and Wilkes-Barre had ar
ranged to play a series of fve games
for the Class B championship OF the
state. Two were TO have taken place
In this city and three in Wilkes-Barre.
Sunday ball is allowed in the latter
city and the Reading men expected
that II the fifth game was necessary
they would have drawn a big Sun
day crowd. Wilkes-Barre expected to
land the series easily, and thought
the fifth battle would never be played.
This is why Manager Clymer arranged
TO have the Detroit American League
oppose his team Sunday. He is CIV
ing the big league team $500 guar

fore leaving that If they would not be
given the Sunday date they would

DESIGNER STUFF TELLS OF
PRODUCTION PROBLEMS

"The tremendous expense prelimi-
nary to building a high-grade car IS
something that the public rarely takes
into consideration" said Harry Stutz,
Of indianapolis. Ind, designer q the
new Stutz Car, in a recent statement
on the manufacture of motor cars, and
the reason for the value to be OBJ
tained in medium-priced cars at the
present time owing to the general ad-
vancement Of the industry.
Take the construction of a power
full motor, for example, and follow
the stages Of manufacture: First, the
preparation of drawings and the time
of several competent men to elaDo-
rate each minute detail to its fullest
possibility. There is a question OF
mower to be generated; the ignition
and carburetion; the oiling system
and many other problems. All Of these
are important factors OF construction
where the slightest error means iali-
ure, and all possibilities must De
worked out in the plans, for perfect
models must be turned out. The. sue
cess of the motor depends, IN nnallty'
upon the care of the builders ana the
soundness of the basic design. With
the plans. patterns, and castings COM
plete. the engineer must thoroughly
Test the metals used and their ability
to stand hard usage. Racing has
helped materially in this respect A
stock car which will stand racing will
stand the hard knocks of general
usage"
Mr.. stutz has designed and produced
many successful cars in the last hf-
teen years. His latest production, the
Stutz Car, covered the distance In the
indianapolis 500-mile race in 442 min
utes. This was a highly creditable
showing for the Stutz model car
