Third Series Model
of Packard Twin Six

Lines that carry more of beauty
while yet retaining those hall marks
which long have distinguished Pack
ard cars are the first appeal of the
new series Twin Six, announced to-
day. In both open and enclosed car
riages of the new model the long and
low effect is strikingly apparent.
The top of the higher. narrower
radiator breaks crisply into the bev-
elled shoulders familiar in Packard
radiator design. The free-fiowing
the plane of the. narrowing bevels,
molding OF, the car. A form hitting
windshield intersects at a smart angle
First cars of the new series are now
being shown by Packard dealers. Each
OF these first cars has been finished
In derby red. Those who have seen
a typical car of the new line speak of
1T as a new creation.
It is stated that the practical per-
dectlon OF the Twin six motor, dem
oHs5rated omnras in the Ss.r,I service Of $4,000
lines; for with engine perfection Sc
cure, the talent of Packard designers
and engineers could be concentrated
on the qualities of style.
Changes in the Twin Six motor are
rehnepents of detail. The full power
smooth action and economical per-
formance of the Twin Six have estab-
ilshed the twelve cylinder engine in
the favor of the motoring public. In
the new series, the channeling of the
gas passages in the cylinder head has
oeen improved, to insure an even bet
n 70
ders and thus to attain to even more
marked economy, especially in hand
ing Iow-gravity gasoline. The new
motor Is notable for its clean design
The control has been simplified' A
clean steering column is achieved by
removal of the control board and plac-
ing OF ignition, lighting and fuel mix
on the instrument board. The gear
SHIFT lever is in the central position.
The wheelbase of the 3-35 Is lac

There are seventeen different body
styles in the new line, each Of them
suited to a purpose and expression of
the best taste in the coachbuilder' S
art
All bodies are roomy and comfort
able. The open cars are upholst cred
in straight-grain, hand -buffed. plait-
ed. Interiors of enclosed carriages
are tailored in soft textures, patterns
of which may be selected from a wide
variety of weaves. Lustrous finish
and perfect appointments give the
final touch of elegance to the new
series car.

Mrs. Chris H. Sauers, three times
city champion of Harrisburg, sue
cessfully defended her title to-day
in the challenge round of the Greater
Harrisburg tennis tournament. She
won from Miss Mildred Sheesley, of
PaXtang, by scores of 6-1 and 6-2.
Except for a brilliant squirt in the
first few games of the second set,
the younger player was outclassed
most of the time.
William McCreath, city champion
in singles, with his partner, John
Kunkel, carried off first honors in the
mems doubles. They took three
straight sets, although the last one
was bitterly fought.
Yesterdays matches were eXcep-
tionally interesting. The work of
Mrs. Sauers occasioned much favor
able comment. At no time was her
title in danger. Near the close of the
match Miss Sheesley showed a bril-
liant squirt that brought prolonged
applause. Experience played u big
part in the victory in this series. Mrs.
Sauers' work has always been on the
championship order.
Praise For Miss Sheesley
All the praise possible came to
Miss Sheesley. Her work throughout
the tournament has brought much
favorable comment. She showed
pluck in every match and her play
ing created general belief that Miss
Sheesley is scheduled for future hon
ors.
The match between William Nc
Creath and John Kunkel, and Glen
wood Beard and Robert Shreiner
furnished many interesting features.
The first set was an easy victory for
the city championship and his part
ner, and the second a runaway. The
third was battle royal.

Two Syracuse Players
Have Quit Mike O'Neill

Syracuse, n. Y. Aug. 15.-Short-
stop Ray Heating, of Philadelphia,
and Pitcher Bill Taylor, of Pinebank,
Pa, of the Syracuse Stars, quit the
team and went home yesterday be-
cause the salary was too small. Both
declared they were unable to break
even and preferred playing semipro-
fessional ball near home. This leaves
the Syracuse club with only nine
men, including three pitchers, fore
ing all twirlers into the game every
day as outfielders when not in the
box. Heating has been drafted and
waived exemption and joins the army
on September 5. The New York
State League is making desperate
efforts to hang on in hopes of SELL
ing the Syracuse franchise to the
International League for $4,000 and
splitting up the money to offset
losses.
