Ashland Gets
Jack Anthony

ASHLAND. VA, Feb. - Clash
lands baseball stock took a brig boost
the past week when It became known
that Manager Blanton had succeeded
i'm securing Jack Anthony the we'll
known Richmond ball player. TO play
center field for the Ashland team the
coming season. For the last two
seasons Anthony has been playing in
the outfieId for the Petersburg 1Vir-
ginia State league1 team. and base
ball fans throughout the State weil
know that he is one OF the fastest in
the league and some hitter also. This
year Anthony has decided not to play
professional hall. He is in business
in Richmond and prefers not to give
it up, hut.will remain in the city and
play amateur BAN.
The addition OF Anthony Will great
ly strengthen the Ashland team, and
prospects for a winning team were
never brighter. Although next Sat-
urtlay was the day set for the begin
ming Of spring practice. still a NUM-
her OF the players took advantage
of the good weather here Saturday
and were ont warming up. The coll
iege campus presented a lively scene,
all the candidates for the Randolph
Macon team being out. and practice
continued until almost dark, If the
weather is good Manager Blanton ex-
poets every member Of the team to
be on hand next Saturday when real
practice will begin.

The new Kelly motor is mounted on
81 three point flexible suspension. The
third point support is in the rear,
which allows the frame 10 adjust it,
self 10 the inequalities OF the road,
without imposing any strain on the
motor bearings.
This advantage, with other Kelly
reflnements, makes the present models
a distinct advance over the former
line Of Kelly trucks.
Valve Motor n Factor.
II. A. Blenner says chat during the
last few years the Knights sleeve
valve motor has displaced the best
engine in Europe. The Knight motor
was designed by Charles r. Knight,
an American, and adopted by the best
makes of cars In England and on
the continent before IT was recognized
In this country Dir. Stearns saw the
Knight motor, examined Il and
watched 1T under actual performance.
Then he learned for the first tina
that there was a motor which eN-
cclled his masterpiece.
Mr. Stearns is big. broad-gauged
man. He acts with elaboration. but
once Il decision Is made. its execution
is pushed to completion with light
ming rapidity MIR. Etaarns resolved
to introduce in America the Knight
engine, TO be built by Americans and
to grace an American car. a year
later the famous Knight car
was brought out, built by the Stearns
company, with Kniglit-type motor.
Hence Mr.. Stearns hobby for the
best in automobile motors led him 10
discard his own best work for some
thing which he knew 10 be better.
The record success Of the Stearns-
Knight car since the adoption OF the
knight motor has more than justified
his action.
/ Mr.. Blenner, who represents the
Stearns car In Virginia, states that so
far the output or the T. b. Stearns
company for this year shows an in
crease Of 20 per cent over che sales
or this car for the previous season.
and he attributed this advance large
ly TO the adoption of the Knight
sleeve-valve motor.
