NATIONAL CARS
 PROVING POPULAR
Passing of the Summer Sea- son Has Had Little Effect
 on Present Sales

National highway" cars continue to grip the enthusiastic patronage of mo- torists throughout the country. It Is not often that any new model of car has enjoyed a spurt of busin ess so long maintained. This model introduced last June, continues to sell as though 1t were new on the market.
 The passing of the summer rush sea = son has not had the least effect of di- minishing sales. Ordinarily factories expect a little 'let up'' along about the last of October. But this year the first indications of any '1et up" in National sales have failed to arrive. For the first two weeks In November orders have actually increased rather than shown any symptoms of diminish ing.
 "we are selling Nationals and we are delivering them" comments George M Dickson, general manager of the National factory at Indianapolis. "The difficulties of delivery that we en- countered in August have been nearly overcome by the big production of our factory, which has been working over time practically every day of the week for several months. The first wing of the new addition to the factory is al- most ready to use The second wing should be completed in four to five weeks These new buildings will great Iy facilitate our making more prompt deliveries Not the least interesting feature about this rush of business is the kind of users to whom our cars are going It is not only to persons of means to now welcome the opportunity to secure National at the lower cost.

IMMENSE FACTORY
 FOR REQ COMPANY
Demand for Popular Car Forces Company to Build
 Additions Each Year

If you happen to be passing through will likely get the impression of a new city in the building.
 The Rec automobile factories are di- rectly opposite the Crank Trunk station in that thriving city, and the numerous additions that are being made to the factory give an impression similar to that mentioned above.
 ''As a matter of fact says MT. Scott, vice president and general manager of the Rec Motor Car company, in his mod est way. We are not adding so much to the factory-probably not more than eight or ten acres in all
 Those walls" indicating by a ges- ture an enclosure that would compare favorably with the Yale Bowl, "inclose what will be the new Rec truck plant. That does not belong to the Rec Motor Car company-it is an entirely separate concern. although manned by the same executives.
 We are inclosing within those walls a little over four and one-half acres, but (again in his modest way) that will be cnfy one-story building It is of mod ern saw-tooth roof construction, with plenty of light and air for the work men. and so arranged that the heavy parts such as go into motor trucks, will not have to be elevated
 'The floors, by the way, will be of concrete block and I think the contrae- tor said it required some 5000 square yards of blocks to cover it. That would be, let's see how many square feet? Oh, well, figures aren't interesting any way"
 Leading the way a couple of blocks to the east, MT. Scott indicated another plat that looked like an acre or two, where excavation was being made for still an- other addition to the Rec plant.
 This will be used mainly for the stor- age plant, where we hope, if we can ever catch up with the immediate de- mand, to carry a few cars over winter for some of our dealers who like to buy them in the fall and hold them against the spring demand, but who have not the storage capacity to do so. We con structed a similar building rasr year but never managed to get a car into 1t. Before we realized it we had it full of machinery and had increased the factory capacity by that much. We are now try ing it again. and wondering to what real use this building will be put. Looks as if there would be no chance to get car in 1t this year at least"
 At another point MT. Scott indicated where streets were being closed and utilized for railroad sidings inasmuch as the Rec company now owns several adjoining blocks and the streets are use- less for any other purpose.

UMPIRE BATTING" MUST STOP, SAYS
 BRAVES PRESIDENT
Gaffney Puts New Clause in Each Contract of Players. Will Support Players if
 the Umpire Is Wrong

Boston, November 27-The Boston Nationals, whose kicking" tactics on the baseball field during the past sea son were criticized in some quarters. will improve their conduct next spring, if President James F. Gaffney has his way. In a letter mailed tonight to every one of the Braves under contract the club executive announces his de termination that the conduct of tha team shall be above criticism
 Umpire batting is thing of the past. It is a detriment to the winning of pennants," he continued. Every player who is fined by an umpire next season must pay his own fine, and no player under suspension will receive salary during that period"
 President Gaffney assured the play CTS he would back them to the limit if they were right and the umpire wrong, but he expressed the belief that the umpires would treat the players properly if met in the same spirit.

NEW ORGANIZATION FOR THE SAXON CO.
Takes Over Present Organi- zation With More Capital
 and New Stockholders

Announcement has just been made of the formation of a new s6.oOO,OOO corpora tion to acquire and operate the business of the Saxon Motor company of Detroit This company has enjoyed one of the most remarkable successes of an industry where rapid successes have been freouent. In less than two years from Its start. it has reached seventh place among all De- troit motor car manufacturers in num- Der of cars annually produced The in creased capitalization. it is understood is for the purpose of further expansion H. w, Ford president and general man. ager of the Saxon Motor company, who by the way. is not relative of Henry Ford, heads the new corporation and the present organization remains in con- trol. Mir. Ford has given out the follow ing statement:
 The new company is incorporated un- der the laws of the state of New York It will be known as the Saxon Motor Car corporation. It will be capitalized at $6,0o0, ,000-all common stock There will be no preferred stock and no bonds Of this $6,000000, one-half has been sold to banking syndicate headed by Mer- Till, Lynch & O., and H6rnblower & Weeks of New York and Detroit. It Is expected that the issue will be many times oversubscribed. The remainder of the $6.000,000 will be reserved for the present stockholders.
 The new incorporation puts into our business large amount of additional working capital, making possible imme- diate expansion and increased production. The ability of an automobile compan. to earn good profits in the low-priced field depends on big production. With the material market in it's present con- dition, big production depends on quan- tity buying and the carrying of big stocks of material ahead.
 Our business is expanding so rapidly that we have for sometime realized the desirability of having more capital-and the new incorporation has, therefore been arranged. As matter of fact, working on our old capitalization and surplus from earnings, our monthly volume of sales has expanded 10 times over or 1000 per cent in the IS months we have been ship ping cars. Future expansion we knew would depend on increased working cap ftal, which we now have
 "I have been often asked of late wheth- CT | think the present demand for au- tomobles will continue. I firmly believe that for long time to come there will be a demand for all the cars that can be produced in the low-priced field. Now adays we have reached a point where not only everybody wants an automo bile but pretty nearly everybody act ualy needs an automobile. It has be- come a necessary part of our daily life. Low-priced cars are now within reach of tremendous market made up of people who can readily afford them, but who are only now beginning to realize that they can afford them. The demand is not becoming saturated; it is grow ing-and will grow for some years to come'

Three fast and interesting games of soccer football were played in the western part of the city yesterday aft ernoon. By defeating Docena, Vivian maintained the lead of the league by wide margin, with Ensley and Do- cena tied for second honors.
 The Wylam soccer football team de- feated the Docena football team in a very fast and exciting football game yesterday afternoon by score of 4 to 0. The second eleven team of Wylam was also victorious by a score of to O.
 The first eleven game was exciting from start to finish, although the Vivian boys outclassed and outplayed their opponents in nearly every depart ment of the game. Wylam entered the game in a crippled condition and had to use three of their second eleven players who played in both of the games. They were McCrorie, Ellis and Sellers. who deserve much credit for the work they did in both games. Cur die scored Wylam's first goal after about 10 minutes of play from about the 30-yard line after fine play Their second goal was also made in the
