Unless lot of rain horns in on the
scene and makes the matinee all wet.
the Phils and the champion Reds will
hook up in another battle at Broad
and Huntingdon streets this afternoon
Pat Moran is anxious to annex another
victory and will use Jimmy Ring for
pitching purposes, while Gavvy Cravath
has assigned Lee Meadows for mound
duty. This insuros pitching battle,
for both fingers are going good at this
time.
The Phils stumbled yesterday and
failed to overcome an old hoodoo. Four
games in row is their limit, having
won that many consecutive victories
on three different occasions. Umpire
Fife swiped game and ruined the
streak last month after the Phils had
climbed into first place and last week
Pittsburgh ruined everything by taking
three in a row after the CravathianS
had cleaned up in the series with the
Cubs. Yesterday the Reds put the
kibosh on the fifth game stuff, so now
the home folks have to start all over
again.

STANLEY w. PEARSON, Pbiladel-

I IennsyIyania doubles titleholder, with

complete and undisputed possession of

course OF one week. Stanley has been
put up against representatives of the
golden state and three times he has
laid them as low as the turf on the
country clubs courts.
AT the Merton Cricket Club last
week, Stanley had the honor of putting
both Wallace j. Bates and Edmond
Levy out Of the Pennsylvania state
tournament. Yesterday, in the SECOND
round OF the Delaware meet, he gave
Levy another trimming. Today or
tomorrow he is virtually certain to
meet Bates again, and il he wins that
match the two university boys surely

Pearson's face in the crystal glass;
Pearson's defeat of Levy yesterday
was easy compared to the tough battle
the two had last Saturday morning.
On that occasion Pearson took the first
set Sd, but the second ran to 13- III
before the Germantown Cricket Club
man won the match. Incidentally, that
hard battle virtually put Pearson out
of the state tournament for in the
afternoon he was off his game and was
beaten by Carl Fischer, who, there Is
no doubt, he can lick about six OF
seven days in the week.
1t is unfortunate that Pearson cannot
meet Lewis Martin, the third member
Of the California team, who is playing
here but did not play at Haverford
Pearson probably also would cause him
to take the air. which would make the
jury bring in an unanimous verdict.

courts were very soft, but toward late
afternoon they had dried out consider

Cole History BristleS
with AdVancenentS

Ability 10 anticipate the trend OF the
future is the keynote OF the success of
the Cole Motor Car Company
For ten years IL has devoted its ener-
gies and resources TO the production OF
advanced motor cars. During that time
its contributions to the science of auto
mobile manufacture have been numerous
and frequent
The original Cole four-cylinder cars
established standards for speed and
economy far ahead of their time. many
'of which still live as worlds records.
Later, in developing the Cole Six, the
company created "a precedent by despatch
ing the test models into the Rocky Noun
tains and there submitting them TO previ-
ously unheard of trials
Cole was one OF the first two American
manufacturers TO build an eight-cylinder
car and to concentrate upon this one type
of chassis exclusively. The first Cole
Fights introduced in 1915 embodied fea-
lures which are just coming to be in
corporated generally in the conventional
eight-cylinder cars OF the present day.
They were the first Fights to have re-

to be as advantageous as the integral

for it's absolute dependability. The sim
plicity of the valve mechanism and the
water pump and the reduction OF the
number of parts throughout the engine
mechanism formed an important con-
trbutlon Of the early Cole Fights.
Another marked stride for the early Cole
Fights was the changing OF the location
OF the spark plugs from over the centre
OF the cylinder to the upper section OF the
block. This enabled the spark TO occur
where the purest gas collected. on the
compression stroek. Thus were eliminated
al! chances OF sooty plugs and other car
bon difficulties. Added to these were
many other practical Innovations. all OF
which have since been even further de-
veoped.
With all these remarkable advancements
to it's credit 1t was only natural then
that Cole should produce the Aero-Eight.

accomplishments of the motor car and
placed Cole seasons ahead of any con-
temporaries and in class exclusively

Columbia Claims
Originality in Design

A. IT. o'Connor. secretary or the Colum-
bia Motors Company. manufacturers OF
the Columbia Six, believes that his COM
pany has discovered one secret OF sue
cess In the automobile business to which
every manufacturer should pay more at
tention.
THE group OF men who organized the
Columbia Motors Company" says Mr..
O'Connor, date their experience back TO
the earliest days of the industry. They
were agreed on one principle, namely. that
a motor car is not merely piece OF
machinery to be designed as the designers
and engineers in the factory see fit and
then offered to the public to take IT OF
leave it regardless of their personal
tastes. They look upon the motor car 70

I'VE started by designing a chassis so
Fundamentally right that it has required
only minor changes during the last five
years. The success of the Columbia
chassis is the best evidence that our
original designs were sound.
But. instead Of planning so that changes
would be possible only at long intervals,
we arranged production so that improve
ments in design and equipment could be
made at q few weeks notice. We have
made 1T a constant study to keep in close
touch with the public's demand. The in

not 1t is right mechanically and worthy

worth while improvement. it is adopted
and made part of the Columbia long be-
fore the average manufacturer could hope
to accomplish change.
ITO illustrate this, recall the advanced
features now found in the Columbia SIX.
The thermostatically controlled radiator
shutters have been on the Columbia tor
five years and 1t is only now that other
manufacturers are beginning to adopt
them.
"The non-synchronizing spring suspen-
sion of the Columbia Six has now been
used for three years and will be adopted
by other companies within a season or two.
Why didn't others adopt these features
sooner? Simply because their productlon
facilities lacked the necessary fiexioiiity.

been shown.

might be named to illustrate the way In
