The Willys-Knight Touring Car is a
beautiful car-more pleasing in it's proper
tions, more satisfying in it's lines and finish
than any picture can show. For it's beauty
does not appeal merely from one angle, but
from every angle; its finish shows as rich and
perfect at close range as at a distance 1t is
the work of master-designers and skilled ar
tiSanS.
The lines O. the long, low body flow
smoothly, without angles or projections, from
the rounded front edge of the radiator to the
ful-cured back There is that harmony in
blending of lines that marks the true steam
line type.
The tenders are long and sweeping in their
curves, with gracefully rounded surfaces, and
the running boards are clean and free from
distractions. The windshield is built in and
conforms to the curve of the cowl, making it
part of the car itself rather than mere
attachment.
The finish of the body is deep royal
blue, with delicate stripping in white, and the
wheels are a pleasing gray. Black enameled
tenders and trimmings add touch of dignity
which gives the whole remarkable effective

Same Old Game.

Baseball ,s still the game old game. In the National League affairs have followed the broad highway of pro- phecy. Boston, Brooklyn and Phila- delphia were picked as the best clubs in the circuit, and they have been l-2-3 alternately all the year.
 But in the American League two clubs picked to finish far out of the jubilee have been playing, by long cdd, the best ball in the circuit The showing made by Washington and Cleveland is the feature of the cam naign, and, what is more to the point there seems to be something sub- stantial back of this rollicking start
 Probably.

Concerning the arrival of Artie Holman, Art Devlin and Mike Donlin among semi-pro clans.)
 What sort of game is this, old pal? Why, here it was but yesterday We cheered you in the Big Corral And paid the tax to see you play; There with the old, world-famed
 machine
 That held it's way amid the Push, And yet your shadows leave the
 green
 And fade away beyond the Bush. But yesterday I saw you dash And yank one down upon the run; But yesterday I heard your smash Proclaim another battle won; But yesterday-and here I see That Time has heckoned you to go; Once with the bunch "that used to
 be-;
 One with a "guy I used to know What sort of game is this, old dog? I watched the Big Parade and cheer; Past masters of the Polling Log; Past peggers of the pelting sphere; Another day I look once more At strange and unfamiliar clans, And there is none I saw before Beyond a Matty or a Hans.
 The Case of Mathewson.
 Christy Mathewson's 1916 debut a day or two ago was one of the most interesting incidents of a highly in teresting year. Big Six was beaten, and yet, with the breaks all against him, he gave promise of at least fair season, if not a great one. It is a noteworthy incident that the Giants began to settle in 1914 when Matty began to slip. Up to mid-July, that year, he had won sixteen games and lost but four. His club was then well in front From August on Matty began to slip ond fall back, and the rest of the Giant cast fell with him. His return to form is now about the only show the Giants have of getting back up. If he could get going again and join with Jeff Tesreau there might be enough inspiration for the rest of the cast to rise up and break away from the galling bondage of the present.
 Those Left
 Matty started with the Giants in the summer of 1900. Seventeen years ct the big leaguers playing then, in ad dition to Big Six, there are just two left. The answer is Hans Wag- Ter and Nap Lajoie. Johnson was then just eleven years old. Ty Cobb barely out of short trousers. And Brooklyn had just won a pennant.
 Arc We Correct.
 We would like to get right on a certain proposition. As we under stand and recall it from the late March and early April dope, there were five regular pennant contenders in the American League. These clubs were: Buston, Detroit, Chicago, New York and St. Louis.
 If we are correct in our surmise regarding the early April dope, what do they intend to do about Wash ington and Cleveland, who seem to have no idea they were picked to finish sixth and seventh?
