War Aids Auto Makers

The war will give American auto
mobile manufacturers tremendous
advantage over foreign competitors, >"
said Ernest T.. Leverett, managing dir
ector of the Long Acre Auto Car Co.,
Ltd, of London, Eng, one of the big
gest men in the English motor world,
who is at present visiting this coun-
try.
The development of the motor car
has virtually come TO standstill in
England and France because the war
has stopped the manufacture of all
cars except those especially built for
war purposes. Thousands of the best
mechanics and scores Of expert auto
mobile construction men are at the
front lighting for England and France.
Hundreds will never come back.
Mr. Leverett has just closed con-
tract as sales agent in the United
Kingdom for the Chalmers cars.

Wrong Kind Of Attention

one case i'm point will make the
example clear. In a large city, a
distributor of cars which may be plac-
ed in the high priced class placed in his
broadest and most eye-catching win
dow racing car which had become
of country wide Importance because
of a notable victory. The appeal Of
this car was directly to the urchin-
the pushmobile enthusiast. 1T did
not fail of its purpose in attracting a
crowd-but it was a crowd OF the
wrong kind. The proper place for
that car was at the back Of the sales
room. The proper display to attract
the attention of the prospect TO whom
this distributor hoped TO sell his cars
was a fully-equipped touring car.
Again, another distributor placed
i'm his window one of the mechanical
features about which his car was
built 1t was motion display-an
electric motor kept the parts func-
tioning all day and far into the night.
This display, too. attracted crowd
but the crowd, too, was of the wrong
kind. Here was another display that
should have been relegated TO the
comparative ob5c3Gity of the back
OF the salesroom. 1t was an excellent
feature for the salesman TO talk
about. 20 explain to the prospect-af-
ter he got him into the salesroom.
But it is extremely doubtful if the
display Of itself ever really created
a prospect or induced prospect TO
enter the salesroom.

BElDING TAKES A
SLUGGING CONTEST

The Grand Rapids Greulichs were
defeated by Bedding Saturday In the
most loosely played game Bedding has
witnessed this year. The Greulichs
are a good club and are rated well in
their own class and their defeat by a
superior team is no discredit to them.
Hanna on the mound for the Greu-
lichs looked pretty good for few
innings until the heavy Belding
wreckers got into action and broke up
all of his support. Hale gained re-
cord of four strike-outs out OF four
times at bat
Voss worked for Bedding and credit
ed himself with fourteen strike-outs
Gould made sensational catch by
going to the fence for a long fly;

Grand Rapids in deep center.

EElDING TEAM Is
STILL UNDEFEATED

The Belding Independents are still
undefeated this season.
The teams they have played with
so far have merely been small clubs
and city teams. Teams that are far
below Belongs class.
With the advancement OF the sea-
son, and the starting of more indie
pendent teams. comes harder work
for Belding. Hastings. st. Johns,
Portland and Charlotte will all have
good strong teams.
Bedding has games scheduled with
both St. Johns and Hastings and
with the coming OF these teams starts
the real base ball season for Belding.
Last year Bedding was one OF the
strongest independent teams In the
state. This year they are much
stronger and better than last. Every
man on the team is player and
hitter.
The G.. L. Refrigerator team which
battled Bedding for II innings last year
is here to-day with hope Of putting
down Belongs flag.
Saturday. June the Grandville
Overlands come to Bedding They are
regarded as a good strong team and

The Seaters looked like a high

first game, cutting and kicking the
ball and batting all over the lot. If
they did this To amuse the fans they
succeeded far beyond their fondest
hopes.
Anderson opened the first game for
Grand Rapids and was pounded un-

but the lack of support which allow

After allowing Bedding 10 bat once
and half around for runs in the
first inning they gave up trying to
tire the Beldingites out and settled
down to a slightly better game.
Seven innings was declared enough
having lasted two hours.
Bailey pitched for Bedding in the
morning and shut out the visitors
with three hits.
