Cars Now Designed
to Please Women

That the American woman sits in the
court OF final judgment when 1t comes
to the purchase OF car is the decision
that has now been reached by every pro-
sressive motor car manufacturer in
America. Even the leaders are going
far beyond ordinary limits to attract the
attention Of the woman to the car.
The demand this year according to
E. s. Jordan Of the Thomas B. Jeffery
company, Kenosha, Wis. is for car
that is Just as near an electric as pos
sible in comfort equipment and con-
venience but which has the power and
the long distance ability OF the gasoline
ear.
To satisfy the taste of women, new
model, the Sedan. has been designed.
This Sedan has all the advantages OF
the electric coupe without its limita-
tions. 1t is equipped with tho unit gaso-
line and electric motor which makes It
possible for a woman to start the car
and drive with the same comfort and
ease as she formerly enjoyed In her
electric.

WOLGAST TO TAKE ON RITCHIE
Decides on Willie as Opponent for
Thanksgiving Day Battle.
PASSES MANDoT AND RIVERS
Ritchie Has Besn Steadily rmprov-
ing since He Met wolEast Last
may, when the Champ
F9oored Him Twice.

NEW YORK. Oct. 12,-After giving
considerable thought to the matter, Al
WoiEast has decided upon Willie Richie
In preference TO Joe Mandot or Joe
Rivers for his opponent at Frisco on
Thanksgiving day. OF the trio Of light
weights who are hard upon his heels
Ritchie is probably the most clever, but
the least rugged. Quite likely this was
the deciding factor that influenced Wol.
gast in making his selection.
Wolgast put Ritchie TO the test In
four-round bout last May and scored two
knockdowns. although It was the cham
plou's first outing since recovering from
his operation. At that, Ritchie's superior
boxing skill enabled him to secure q draw.
But Wolgast has little fear Of the Light
hitting boxer, no matter how clever He
figures that his rushing attack VIII al'
ways wear down men OF the Hitcme
TYNE. So far this figuring has been cor
rect a. he amply demonstrated against
owen Moran, Frankie Burns and others
whose superior skill was unable to staye
OF the knockout punch at the end
Champion May BE Back.
But there is question whether Inc
champion still retains his fun quota OF
stamina since his operation. Az least.
none OF his bouts since his illness has
served to demonstrate that he Is as good
as ever. Since Rivers was so easily de-
feated by Joe Mandot recently, the
champions narrow escape from losing to
the Mexican takes on added significance
All reports Of the battle agreed that VOL
CAST was not the man OF old in many
respects.
Rltchie has been improving steadily
since he met wolsast In that four-round
tryout. He outpointed Mandot at New
orleans, and did 1t in q manner that lett
no doubt OF his superiority Unless Vol
gast gets over few crushing swings in
the early part of the battle he may him
| self be the first one to weaken, Rtchie
Is exceptionally clever on the defense,
and wolgast win have 70 be little short
OF his best ia order to pierce the Cah-
fornian's guard with decisive blow. II
the bout goes the limit Richie looks to
have more than an even chance Of set"
ting the decision.
