England is intensely interesting. It was
attacked on every side and compelled to
meet such tests as never before had been
imposed on motors. These tests convinced
everyone and motor-car makers focked to
England to obtain license to manufacture it.
This right for France was bought by Pan
hard-Levassor, for Germany by Mercedes,
for Belgium by Minerva, for Italy by
Daimler. We obtained the erightinAmerica.
The virtue of the Knight motor is more
than silence. It's power and fexibility is
amazing-far greater than is obtainable
from other motors of equal size. These
claims we can demonstrate by sending you
the record of its astounding tests abroad.

H|LLTOPS,
Fishers Pitching Against
Tigers Best Seen This Sea-
son, and He Looks Like
Real Find.
BY BULGER,

TN figuring on the star pitchers of 1911,
tho official recorder had better keep
L a weather eye out for one Ray
Fisher, the new headliner OF the HILL
top. Early In the spring Hal Chase pre-
dicted that Fisher would be one OF the
greatest young tw.rlers of the year, and
the Giants paid him the same compli-
ment last fall. On several occasions
his year he got away to a bad start,
but In the second battle with the Tigers
tho youngster flashed across the base
ball sky like a meteor. and pitched
what is undoubtedly the best twirled
game of the season. Though the Tigers
scratched him for five singles. they
were scattered through nine long
innings, no two OF them coming In q
single round.
But that Is not where Fisher gave
evidence Of being the best find OF the
year. His excellence became apparent
when there was Il runner or so on base
and the heavy artillery of the opposition
was Numbering for a broads!de, With
the calmness OF n veteran. Young
Fisher kept mixing them up until he
lad Wahoo Sam Crawford completely
ratified. Tyrus Cobb. the other willow
swlnger, was a little more fortunate.
and took unto himself two safe drives.
| but both of them were sliced in where
| they could do no harm.
A second feature in Fishers great
pitching performance was the perfect
manner IN which, he handed Sweeney
the ball when Il runner was about to
steal. He pitched out. but he Away
manged TO keep the ball close enough
to worry the batter and at the same
time give Sweeney a ohance to throw,
Russell Ford In his palmiest days
never gave a better demonstration OF
what can be done with a baseball than
did this young man Fisher.
