It was the fastest game OF the sea
son, and in many respects the clean
est, best played contest, that the Mill
ers and Bakers p1t on Saturday after
noon at Washington park. 1t ended In
a shut out for the Bakers, the Millers
Carting home the donors with three
runs. But one OF two ifs" would
have made it an extra inning con-
test.
One hour and 10 minutes for a City
league contest IS record Tnat S
what happened Saturday, clean, snappy
bail, one hour and 10 minutes for nine
innings of it. The only pity was that
the crowd was 50 small, smaller even
than the usual Saturday gathering. 1t
was a pitchers battle, a fielders' bat
tie, in fact a battle all around. Both
Porter, who famed four Bakers, and
Armstrong, who caused three MilleTs
to cut three knicks in the atmos-
phere, pitched bully ball
There wasn't a single batter who
touched second, to stay there, until
the fourth inning, so close was the
rivalry OF the pitchers, and so clean
in the sixth it happened, but only by
bad plays and bad luck. Thompson, on
first, dropped a perfect throw and the
runner was safe. Hill was hit by the
pitcher. making two on bases.
Then Barker hit to right field, a
beauty and good for a double, serving
TO bring in the two runners. Then
Barker, who Is something of a speed
fiend on the base lines, stole third, and
OF an error by catcher DOering, who
made bad peg to third, he actually
stole home, making the trio of tallies
and winning the game. In the fifth
there had oeen a clever triple play by
the Millers which is worthy Of some
mention. 1t was kiefer to II. Grady
Il, KiefeF to Tasset

S28OO ENOUGH
FOR AUTO, HE SAYS

Marking the end Of needlessly high
prices for motor cars of the highest
grade. the Stoddard-Dayton head
quarters in this city have inaugurated
a vigorous selling campaign and are
attempting 10 prove that 50 500 is the
maximum price it is necessary to pay
for an automobile Of the finest design.
material and workmanship.
"The judicious automobile buyer will
recognize that is it utter extravaganza
to pay more than $500" said f. w
Ayers, Manager of the local Stoddard
Dayton Factory Branch. The public
has a proper and consistent notion Of
the prices that should be paid for
motor cars and we believe we exaoNy
meet that idea in the Stoddard-Dayton
Saybrook.
This car should establish the sum
Of S2S00 as the point where the limit
Of prudent buying ends and extraya-
gance begins From the earliest days
of the industry there has been
strong feeling that prices of the very
high grade cars were needlessly high
and that it would only be a question
of time when some manufacturer
would achieve sufficient economy IN
engineering, purchasing manufactuf-
ing and selling, to meet the highest
ideals at q reasonable price.
In the saybrook model of the
stoddard-D Dayton, the United States
Motor Company believes that 1t has
come nearest TO the popular idea OF
quality cars and that the great class
of buyers who want the best In molci
Of standard design will quickly give
evidence of how they feel on the price
question.
