BARNER BOOSTS
THE CHALMERS
Says Performance Counts
More Than Technical Terms
in Claim For Cars

Performance, when all is said and
done, is the clinching argument that
makes for decision in the mind of the
prospective motor car purchaser"
said Chas. H. Barner, of the keystone
Motor Car Co., local distributors of
the Chalmers car, in answer to a
query as to whether the public is edu-
Gated up to the technical style of ad-
vertising.
THE average man doesn't care a
continental whether a car is con-
structed of steel or aluminium, wheth-
er it has an L-head or a T-head mo-
tor or how fast the engine turns up,
But he does want to know what the
car has done and can do, on hill and
plain, on city boulevards and gumbo
roads. Listen to the arguments set
forth by any group of laymen in dis
cussing their favorite cars and you
will see that this is so. They talk per-
formance, not mechanical jargon.
"Altho the Chalmers company did
not promote a systematic stunt cam
paign during the past year, the re-
cords established by Chalmers own
ers and drivers in the last twelve
months speak eIoquently of the cars
stamina. A remarkable feature o1
several of the records is that they
were made by amateur drivers, total
ly unacquainted with racing or track
work.

CADILLAC SHOWS
NEW BODY STYLES
Absence of Radical Mechanical
Changes Indicate Soundness
of 8-Cylinder Principles

Quite frequently, after placing a
new car in the hands of the public, an
automobile manufacturer discovers
the need of a number of changes. The
opposite, however, appears to have
proven true of the eight-cylinder Cad
allac, according to c. C. Crispen, of
the Crispen Motor Car Co., distrib-
utors locally of the Cadillac.
The first Cadillac Eight" proved
so successful, he claimed, that it was
found unnecessary to make any radi-
cal mechanical alterations last year.
and the same is true now.
Among the improvements, howev-
er, are increased depth of frame to
eight inches maximum; wheelbase in
creased to 125 and 1872 inches; great
er accessibility between cylinder
blocks where carburetor and electric
| crease of one-eighth inch in size of
valves; new belted type of piston
which increases strength and still fur
ther reduces its weight; improved
clutch; already easy steering made
| still easier.
A condenser has been introduced,
enabling the use of alcohol as anti
| freeze III cold weather. without ma
terial loss from evaporation.
| In comment on it's adherence to the
same general design and the same
principles, the Cadillac company says:
This does not imply that the Cad
| lilac process of refinement has come
| to a conclusion. In many ways, this
is q better, finer Cadillac than any
! which has preceded 1.-THE subject
of unremitting research and scien-
tific betterment in scores of details.
What the absence of radical
change really means is that the un-
derlying principles of Cadillac "
type eight-cylinder construction have
been proven fundamentally sound by
the performance of more th4n $4,000
Lcars.
1T means that the Cadillac COM
pany has arrived at the deliberate
judgment that the kind of a motor
car which it is now building repre-
sents the highest degree of efficiency
yet evolved. 1t means that this is the
joint judgment of every expert mind
associated with this company, as well
as the experience and Judgment of
the many thousands of owners. The
new Cadillac conforms to the finest
Cadillac traditions down to the least
i and last of details-and it advances
them still more closely toward per-
fection."
SImproved body lines and tenders

ings have been eliminated from

paper man of Atlanta, now managing
the Atlanta opera house, was respon-
sible for hanging up two more re-
cords in the south which have detied
competition to date. Driving his own
five passenger car fully equipped,
George lowered all rail and road re-
cords between Atlanta and Chatta-
nooga, Tenn, beating the time of the
famous Dixie flier by seven minutes.
He also beat the best previous auto
mobile record between the two points
by thirty-seven minutes.
Following this, MIR. George drove
the same car from Atlanta to Jack
sonville, Fla, distance of 355 miles
I'm eleven hours and fifty-nine min
utes over heavy roads and under bad
weather conditions.
within a week after this record
was hung up, w. w. Martin, Jr., of
Dallas, Tex, drove a five-passenger
siX-3 touring car from Dallas to San
Antonio over 302 miles of muddy roads
in nine hours and twent-two minutes.
He bettered the best previous road
record by over three hours and beat
the fast Katy limited on the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railroad by
one hour and thirty-three minutes
. "On June rs, B. f. Durham and
A. b. Walden, two Chalmers driv-
ers, established a new record for the
trip between Chicago and New York,
of thirty-one hours fiat for the 1,047-
mile journey. The best previous re-
cord of thirty-five hours and forty
three minutes was held by +. C. Pat
terson in a Packard Six. An average
speed of 33.7 miles per hour was
maintained, altho half the run was
made in a heavy downpour. Durham
later established a new road record
between Detroit and Indianapolis with
the same car used in the Chicago
New York rum"
A remarkable feature of the five
road records hung up in rapid sue
cession by Chalmers cars, is the fact
that grand total of 2137 miles OF
country roads and mountain trails
were traversed at an average speed OF
over thirty miles per hour.

II TROPHIES PROVE
ABILITY OF MAXWELL

One of the unique features of the
display in the salesrooms at the retail
branch of the Maxwell Motor Sales
Corporation, in New York, is group
awarded Maxwell cars for perform
ance on highway and hill. The collec-
ton comprises fourteen cups that have
been awarded the Maxwell company in
recent years. Not one of these awards
was won on the speedway. They all
represent performance on the open
road in hill climbing, in cross country
and in pathfinding work. No more
emphatic evidence of the strength and
durability of Maxwell cars could be
presented.

LOSE EXTRA.INNING GAMES
Giants Begin to Get Fidgety After
Contest Has Gone Beyond tho
Regulation Distance.

One thing which is absolutely essen
tial for the Giants to acquire to be
considered real high-class team is
the ability to win extra-inning games,
writes Frederick G. Lieb in the New
York Sum-. Imagine a team like the
old Cubs or the Athletics of few
years back being considered beaten
after a game had passed the nine-in-
ming stage. The Athletics practically
were unbeatable in extra innings. Yet
on the Polo grounds as soon as game
goes into the tenth inning the fans say
"Good-night."
In a way, the mentality of the Gil
ant players is largely responsible for
this so-called inning jinx. They have
lost so many extra-inning games at
home during the last two seasons that
they get fidgety after game goes be-
yond the regulation distance.

The rolling years take the youth

and legs of the average player past
thirty years of age, and he turns into
the path which leads him back to the
minors or to retirement.
But there are exceptions to every
rule and in the major leagues today
there is a sprinkling Of players we'll

still blocking Old Dad Times lusty

ambitious youngsters grow weary
