NEW YORK PLAYERS
 SIGN CONTRACTS
Fletcher and Perritt With Giants;
 Peck to Captain Yankees

St. Louis, Mo, March 4.-John J. McGraw manager of the New York Giants, announced here last night that he had signed Arthur Fletcher, shortstop, and Pol Perritt, pitcher, who had objected to the terms named in the contracts originally sent to them. Recently Perritt had an- nounced that he intended to retire from baseball.
 McGram this season is undertaking R task he seldom attempts in dealing with hold-out ballplayers. He usu. ally leaves this work to either Harry Hampstead or John B. Foster
 McGraw came here from Louisville Ky, where he signed Schupp, the youthful left handler. to contract last Saturday. It was reported that McCraw would visit Robertson in Norfolk, Va, but as Robertson is now in the west, McGraw will prob ably assign some one else to call on the big fly chaser.
 Should McGraw be successful in rounding up his regulars-and it. is safe to say that he will not let money stand in the way of bringing his men Into the fold-the Giants will go to the post favcritCs in the 1918 cam paign.
 There is one thing which may weaken his team. He will be hit hard if Kauff and Robertson are snared in the draft. Both were regu- lars last year and numbered among his best hit makers. He would likely experience much difficulty in round Ing up two men to supplant these stars.
 Yankees in Line
 While McGraw went west to sign Fletcher, Roger Peckinpapgh, the Yankee. came cast to sign with Col. RIppert. Peck did not take kindly 10 salary cut and Huggins visited him in Cleveland last week.

 under Marquis of ltIiels sll! !I! Zl. u 1fes and the bout was put on in New York city on January 18th.
 It attracted a big crowd despite tho fact that the police declared they would stop tEe fight. It was feared that the old enTity between the two men would bring about "a brutal eX- hibition". The two fighters entered the ring at the appointed time and wsn4 into action. But the first round hardly WAS under way before the autho hoNties jumped in and stopped further milling.
 In June John l.. met Jack Burke, The Irish Lad, in a contest In Chicago which attracted a crowd of 12,o00. Burke, q fast and shifty per former, felt certain that he could stop Sullivan. Many of his friends, of the same belief, took a lot of the short end of the bets that were made that Sullivan would win. But Burke proved to be no match for the big champion who rushed him continually and bombarded him through every one of the five rounds With heavy right hand smashes. It was only the wonderful defensive work of Burke which saved him from going down and out.
 Then agitation was started for a bout between John l.. Sullivan and Dominick McCaffrey, who had come along in spectacular fashion in the wear previous. McCaffrey, in addi- tion to having a reputation for being a heavy hitter, was fast and had demonstrated his ability to stand up wonderfully under merciless punish ment Although the country at large recognized the mighty power of Sulli- van there were a few who figured that McCaffrey in splendid condition might have good chance with John L.
 Sixteen thousand persons witnessed the Sullivan -McCaffrey battle, which was put on in Chester Park, Gin cinnati John L., whose normal fight Ing weight was around 196 pounds in those days, went into the ring beam Ing 210.

 Many different stories have been told concerning the finish of that fight; some of them of a sensational nature Most historians have 1t that the contest was halted when a series of free-for-all fights broke out in the audience and some of the crowd be- gan gun play It has been recorded that referee Tom Tate of Toledo, jumped out of the ring and didn't an nQunce his decision until two days later But all such stories are wrong. The bout was scheduled to go six rounds-and it did At its conclusion, ate, moving over to the ropes, an ,. nounced to the crowd:
 1T award the decision to Sullivan. There was so much noise at the time that only a few persons in the ring side seats heard Tate. Then Billy Muldoon, acting as master of cere- monies, jumped into the ring and told Tate to Teiterate his decision. But bedlam still reigned in the crowd and only a few persons heard Tate, using his hands as a megaphone, shout: q award the decision to Sullivan. He had a decided advantage all through the fight
 After making the second announce ] ment Tate jumped out of the ring and went back to the city. Some of the newspaper men had not heard his ruling owing to the commotion and the next day some stories appeared which stated that Tate had made no ruling When such articles were brought to his attention Tate denied the truth of the assertions and just to please the newspapers, ruled in his own handwriting:
 Sullivan won the fight on points"

In Two Whole Years
No UnSOld Peerless

1t yields nothing to those master
cars produced with the sole idea of
realizing the ultra soft, smooth per-
formance so priced in ordinary,
everyday driving.
Yet it has nothing to fear from
those other cars of exceptional dis
tinctfon which sacrifice the gentler
virtues for resistless power and
speed.
And it naturally outperforms at
all points those cars of class whose
sponsors have realized their ideal
of the best compromise between the
gentler and the more rugged vir-
tues.
Would you know the charm Of
almost unbelievable contrasts in
performance delivered by one and
the same car?-Drive the Peerless
Two Power Range Eight.

III
the Two Power Range Eight, in
spite of doubled production,
again outsold the output Of the
huge Peerless factories.
Among the master cars of the
day the Peerless Eight stands sec
ond to none in the respect and re-
gard in which it is held by the
motor-wise public.
Continuing, as it has, the Peer
less traditions of super-quality in
every detail, mechanically and ar
tiscally, this successor Of a long
line of master cars has out-per-
formed them all
With its two separate and dis
tinct power ranges the Peerless
runs the whole gamut of motor car
performance.
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1918-01-06

From the standpoint Of perform
ance it stands today, more truly
than ever, Peerless - all that the
name implies.
And from the standpoint of low
cost it is likewise without peer in
its class.
Eighty horsepower is not oper-
ated at so little expense in any
other car.
And steady production in large
volume, with exceptional resources
and facilities, has enabled us to
attain and maintain price level
hundreds of dollars below any of
the other master cars of the day.
We will gladly demonstrate the
unprecedented range of perform
ance which is available for you in
the new Two Power Range.

NEW TWOPOWER RANGER
BETTER THAN EVER

TN TWO years of steady, unin-
terrupted, full-capacity produc-
tion' during which the Justly re-
nowned Peerless engineering de-
partment has had the performance
of thousands of these cars under
constant critical observation, many
mechanical and artistic improve
ments have been effected.
The unprecedented range of per-
formance attained by othe Two
Power Range Eight has been meas
urabIy extended in both directions.
1t is a smoother, more finished
performer in its "loafing' range.
1t is faster than ever, even more
powerful in its sporting range.
1t is notable among the cars of
