'RUSH PRODUCTION
OF OLOS EIGHT
Car Weighs 300 Pounds;
Has New Design Eight
Motor.

The new eight, introduced by tho
Odds Motor works OF Lansing, Michi-
gan, is a departure, both in looks
and mechanical design, from any car
yet produced by that company and is,
also, at variance with anything in the
eight-cylinder line now in the mar
ket. From the bonnet, back to the
rear of the ar, II resembles the Odds
four, but there the resemblance ends,
for the motor and most of the me-
chaniCai features are either entirely
new or modified to meet the require
ments Of an e~ight-Cylindcr chassis.
In appearance the car shows a re-
casting OF the lines Of the radiator,
there being u rounded Jacket which
gives a head on view somewhat re-
sembling some of the best known for
elgn machines. The lamps with their
auxiliary lights mounted on top are
another departure from former Odds
models.
The general lines are carried for
ward from the new type "43" four
cylinder Oldsmobile, the seating ar
rangemcnt in the touring car and the
body Dimensions being unaltered.
The wheelbase in both cars is identi-
cal and such features as natural
hickory wheels, rounded hub caps,
c]ircassian walnut steering wheel and
instrument board, which have been
linked up with Odds cars for months
past are shown again in the eight and
help the layman to recognize the car
as an Olds.
Beyond the fact that the motor is
of an entirely new design, undoubtedly
the most outstanding feature Of the
car is its weight, For its horse power,
il is said to be the lightest eight-cyl-
inder car yet produced, registering a
total weight, with fun touring sup.
Tlies and equipment, of approximately
2, 200 pounds.

will be in their new store at Seventh

they have made a direct factory con-

mean that they will relinquish their
old stand with Tulsa Motor Car com
pany; they will stiH have a stock Of

Bill Rariden might today be con-
sidered the Ty Cobb Of the Federal
League catchers. He is so good that
it is necessary for him to pull some
thing out of the ordinary nowadays
to get into prominent print. Rari-
den's work in the last two games
of the Buffalo series has been on the
remarkable order.
Hal Chase, the prince of the first
sackers and one OF the greatest ball
players of all time. paid Bill re-
markable and mute tribute when he
threw away his bat and walked TO
the bench as he saw Bill start after
his foul fly. 1t was thrilling catch
and one of the kind which only Our
Bill has proved himself capable of
making.
1t is almost sure death for batter
the moment he lifts a foul within
reach, or even a little byond reach,
when Bills around. The memory
of the local fans does not recall a
single time that Bill has dropped a
high foul once he has clutched the
ball. Twice yesterday he gathered
Perth Amboy evening news., 1915-08-28

in foul flies with one foot in the Buff
falo dugout.
It is this kind OF ball playing
which draws the crowds and gives
baseball major leagues. Rariden is
playing the greatest games of his
career today.
On the field he is fine general in
every way. His snap throws to sec
ond base, catching runners asleep
there, are dreaded by every opposing
player in the league. There are no
critical moments with Bill. All the
time is playing time with him. Three
on base finds him just as cool and
collected as though the paths were
swept as clean as prairie.
He has often been seen backing
up third base and first base-and
when the backing counted. There is
still another potent feature to be
noted. Moseley and Moran are but
youngsters. They owe lot to the
generalship of Rariden. 1t has often
been said, and with great truth, that
the catcher is the maker or the
breaker of the aspiring hurler.

SAINTS READY
FOR BIG GAME
WITH PAGERS

Here's how things look for tomor-
look to be at their zenith of strength
of the season, whereas the Saints
also appear more formidable now
than they have looked in recent
weeks. The teams are evenly match
ed and the Saints are just as liable
to win as the PAGERS.
Two new players heretofore un-
mentioned will play with the Saints.
They are not Giants, but they are
rafting good players. Their names
are Van Zant and Stohl. The former
is an Elizabeth player of Singer
League repute, while the latter plays
with the crack Newark 1ronsides.
These two young men have played
around considerable, are first class
batters and can field with the best
of them Van Zant will play the
outfe1d and Stohl will play third.
The exit of Evans and McAuliffe
improves the chances of the Saints
for tomorrow 25 per cent. Both
have felded well, exceptionally so.
but as batters they have been poor
imitation of the real article. The
Saints will have no dead wood in to-
morrow's game and they plan to give
the PAGERS their liveliest battle Of
the season.
Les 'Stratton, of South Amboy, has
been located this week and according
to his promise he will be on the job
tomorrow to play with the Saints.
His failure to appear last Sunday left
the Saints in crippled condition.
With the addition of Stratton, Van
Zant and Stohl the Saints hopes for
the game take a leap and bound.
Take a look at the Saints lineup
for tomorrow Neider, p; Peterson,
C; Worth, 1b; Toolin, 2b;. Stinson,
SIS; StohI, 3b; Van Zant, If; Stratton
CT, and Mailing, RI. They've got a
nifty bunch of hitters and will make
Randolph pitch at his level best to
win.
Vinegar will pitch for the Ionians
in the preliminary game against the
Lyceums tomorrow. Don't know
whether Pepper or Salt will be in the
game or not, but Vinegar" as he
is called, was too sour for the Cres-
cents last Sunday and he won't need
the assistance of his two table broth
ers.
Billy Pfau's baseball headquarters
on Hobart street will be opened to-
day, that is if some new supplies ar
rive from Brunswick-Balke's Any
way, if the green goods doesn't show
up Billy is going to get deviiish and
turn on all the lights just for fun
and show the boys the cozy place he
has fitted up.

M'HULTY SIGNED WEINERT
FOR FIRST TEk-ROUnDER

Local followers of the fight game
will be Interested to know that
Charlie Weinert, the promising New
ark heavyweight who has his eyes
on Jess Wizards crown, was signed
up for his first ten round fight by
Joe McNulty, of this city. McNulty,
who was at that time matchmaker
for the Richmond A, c in Totem
vile, put Weinert in the ring against
George Ashe, the Philadelphia heavy
weight. The Newark lad won his
first ten round bout on points, and
McNulty, greatly pleased with his
work, has, kept his eye on Charlie
ever since.
McNulty, being well acquainted
with Weinert, is greatly Interested
in his match with Jim Savage, to
take place in the Madison Square
Garden, New York city, next Tues-
day night.
Savage has trained down to 1S6
pounds for the big battle, this being
the hghtest he has weighed IN ten
years, and Weinert, too, is prepared
to win the battle that viii probably
play a big part in determining his
career.

The two teams having eliminated
the other fire companies in the city
in previous games, feel that this con-
test is truly to decide the freight

and both sides are so confident of
victory that a big feed has been
wagered on the result.
Tho 0a,1,o In takq r,lanp at IN

favorites on to victory, and incident
ally to get a shot at the clambake
that is later to be served in the Lib

house. The bake" is to cost not
less than $25.
Both teams are brimming over
with pep" and there is likely to be
form displayed that will even put
the shade ON the Pacer-Saints-
Franklin series Billy Pfau and Max
Gibian, it Is reported, will have their
scouts ON hand ready to snatch up
any promising material, and large
crowd of rooters will likely gather
to watch the eventful struggle.
Just glance over the two lineups
will convince the fans that classy
fray is about to be staged. Timer
Noonan is now in better form than
even is his youthful career, and in
practice he is showing speed that is
comparable only to that of his new
10 horse power go-cart. The stars
in the lineup are too numerous to
mention individually, but their work
will speak for themselves tomorrow
Alderman "Jeppe" Jorgensen is 60
ing to be one of the bench warmers,
but in case of tight squeeze he will
shoulder a trusty bat and bat in the
pinch. Fire Chief Tooker, too, is go

put in a lick with the willow.
This is what the two captains say
about the impending fray: Fore
