If You Can Afford a Quality
Car---Buy It!

Not only do you get much greater salts
faction but there is more consistent service
less expense for upkeep. The car stands
up better.
The Ross 8, $3.50, is, we sincerely believe,
the equal of any car selling for $4,000 or
less An eight-cylinder motor that is sec
ond to none the Herschell-Spillman Strong
axles, a wonderful clutch and transmission,
a splendid starter everything in keeping
with the perfect motor.
When you see this carbide in it-learn
how wonderfully it stands up under all con-
ditions- when you compare it with other cars
then we are sure that you will want it in
preference to any moderate priced car.
You'll realize that the slightly higher price
is very much worth while.
Like so many other motor car buyers you
will find that it pays to buy quality car
in actual dollars and cents as well as
motoring satisfaction

You don't buy motor car for use just
one season. The annual change Of styles in
automobile designing is thing Of the past.
You buy your car to keep
And you demand certain advantages, GER
tain features of comfort, beauty and refine
ment as we'll as the ability to give consistent
service
To get these advantages even in slight
degree means that you must purchase at
least car selling for $3.50 or re-and
yet you are likely not to be entirely pleased;
you will very probably not find the car you
expected to secure for the price.
Now if you can buy the maximum of
luxury refinement and style-plus service
ability for $3.50 and at the same time have
car that will please you in every way, that
will stand wear day after day for years, then
it is economy to pay the slightly higher
price

Their arrest was caused by James Kelley, another watchman, who said he ~Stadler and Mercier enter a car loaded with shoes and after opening a case fit themselves with a pair of shoes each.
 Stadler and Mercier were sentenced to 80 days in jail and judgment in the case against James was suspended.

PLANK FIRST ATHLETIC
 PITCHER TO GO,
Coonnbs and Bender Who Were With
 Him Under Mack Still Playing.

When Eddie Plank announced his retirement this month it left only two of the three former star Mackmen
 pitchers in the big leagues, Plank
 now is at his home in Gettysburg do-
 ing a little farming, and very little
 of that. Eddie felt as though he needed a rest after his strenuous eff forts to win as many ball games as Dave Davenport for the Browns, and he is taking it easy Jack Coombs
 another hero who always will hold a place in the merory of Philly fans, now is with the Dodgers and doing about even. Bender is .he big star of the three at this time. and when he was right in the oIden days he wasn't very far behind them.
 The passing Of Plank as active gives Charles Albert the title of be- ing the daddy of the pitchers. Leon Ames. of the Cardinals. made his de- but with the Giants in 1904. Bender came to Mack tl the year of 1903. two years after Plank joined the As staff Plank was about to finish his 17th season. Bender has an excellent chance to equal Eddie's mark.
 Plank jumped from the Gettysburg university team to Connie without any major league experience. He starred with Mack until given his re- lease in 1914. He then joined the St. Louis FederaIs and played with that team until the league was ab- he shifted to the Browns. He played with St. Louis last year anl' up to the time the team visited Philadelphia in the last Athletics home stay. Ames has divided his time between New York. Cincinnati and the Cards. He is known as one of the hard-luck pitchers of baseball He is more than earning his salary with Miller as a finisher of games and doing a good job of the same. He seems to have a few years in the old wing at that.
 Coombs is next in line to Bender | and Ames. He is serving his 12th | season as a big leaguer He came to Mack from Colby. The veteran of | the American league is Walter John | son. Although still a young man in 1 years, the big Swede-ro sarcasm in- | is serving his 11th season ! as a member of the Washington club |
