Saxon Success Topic of
Discussion at Show

New York, Jan. 8. - High above the
tumult aroused by the greatest motor
show yet staged rose the comment on
the Saxon Motor Car Company's re-
markable step from obscurity to stel-
lar position among the automobile
companies of the world in two years
time. "One thousand orders during the
last week of 1915 and l 1000 more dur
ing the show was the spark which set
off the final fireworks. Three hundred
enthusiastic Saxon dealers from all
parts of the country gathered together
in great jubilee banquet to celebrate
the wonderful winter sales record and
the fact that though only two short
years ago the Saxon exhibit was on
the fourt.. floor. 1t occupied a promi-
nent position on the main floor at this
years show and was the center of dis
cussion.
Inasmuch as space at the show is
awarded on the basis of sales volume
the placing of the Saxon on the main
floor constitutes official recognition of
the amazing growth of the company,
One of the big features of the Jubilee
banquet was a telegram which the 500
Saxon dealers sent 20 President VIII
son reading: saxon dealers of the
United States assembled at annual au-
tomobile show send you this message
Of faith and confidence in your Ameri-
canism in the critical hour of nation s
history"

Bumps Irish Champion All
Over the Ring
Stecial 10 TIC Tcleerath

New York, Jan. S.-Frank Moran,
Pittsburgh, again knocked out Jim"
Coffey, of Roscommon county, ireland,
at Madison Square Garden last night.
This time Moran took the better part
of nine rounds in encompassing the
downfall of the Irish Giant. Four
times in the two minutes and thirty
one seconds that the ninth round
lasted was Coffey sent to the floor.
Thrice he took the count of nine and
the fourth time he was so befogged
by the battering he was receiving that
that he staggered to his feet at the
count of six.
With glaring eyes and shaking
limbs. Coffey turned toward his con-
queror. AS Moran swung his right
Coffey slumped toward the floor and
the blow failed to land. At this instant
BILLY" Gibson, manager of Coffey,
hurled q small sponge between the
fighters In the excitement it escaped
the notice of Moran and the referee,
and Frank again sent a crushing right
hurtling at Coffey's uncovered jaw. At
this instant, however. a second sponge,
this time a large water-soaked affair,
came sailing through the air, accom-
panied by cries of the spectators,
There's the sponge!" Moran this time
withheld, his punch, drew back and
Coffey fell into the arms of Gibson,
who had climbed into the ring.

Farrell says he want a strictly New
York circuit. What he proposes to do
with the dead towns on his circuit

The Harrisburger has reported to
Barney" Dreyfuss, and will do his
winter training In the Pirate City.
Schacht is a coming twirler. One
thing in his favor is that he has the
nerve to go into any game and at any
time. He is a bearcat for work. and
is of the type that wins out.

at Auditorium

The Camden five of the Eastern
League. will tonight play Harrisburg
Independents on Chestnut Street Audi

league attraction for the season. Har-
risburg has won one, and lost a game.
Camden has recently been forging

and the presence of this quintet in Har-
risburg should prove big drawing at
traction.
The game will start at o'clock. and
will be followed with a dance. The
Skeeters will bring to Harrisburg a
large number of rooters. There is
much enthusiasm in Camden over the
brace taken by the Berks county lead

President Farrell in a statement to

Farrell has declared that he is in

another coach has been elected, and

back does not propose to give his

that If he goes West. there will be

Frank Moran, the Pittsburgh heavy

months, has proven his right as a
contender for championship honors.
His victory last night over Jim" Cof-

Moran recently has been showing a re-
markable punch. His endurance is
the only point questioned. II the

Will 90 jes' fordiv me aden?"
So earnest, so wistful the pleading.
That sweet tot | took on my knee.
And there, as her tears quickly van
ished,
None ever more joyous than we,
She knew that her wrong was for
given
AS e'er with that plea it has BEEN

And ne'er have l pleaded in vain

Wilt thou just forgive me again ."
