Butler 8; Hume 2.

Butler evened the series, one all,
by winning from Hume Sunday in
the best game that has been played
on the local diamond this season.
Like the game with Pleasant Hill the
previous Sunday the game was a
pitchers battle and also like the
Pleasant Hill game Grimsley had the
best of it. His best work was in the
seventh inning when Russell, the
first man UP pounded out a three
base hit, but he was lett on third
when Grimsley struck out the next
three batters.
Buffers runs all came in the
eighth and were the result of sequen-
tial hitting. Ellis, first up, flew to
Russell; Williams struck out; Phil
lips poled his third two-bagger;
Grimsley was safe at first when
Ford forgot to keep his foot on the
base when taking throw from the
shortstop; Luscombe sent a line
drive to right scoring Phillips and
Grimsley and taking second on the
throw in; he scored when the ball
was thrown to center field in an at
tempt to catch him at second.
Hume came near tying the score in
the first of the ninth. Meier was
safe at first when Miller dropped his
fly and was sacrificed to second by
Liggett. c. Ford's long fly over
Morgan's head bounded through the
hedge and went for a home run.
Russell flew to Sherman aud n.
Ford struck out,
Next Sunday Rich Hill will be the
attraction and when these two teams
get together a fast game is always
the result. Butler has beat the boys
from the Hill once this year and
they are coming up loaded with the
best players to be had determined to
leven up the serie'.

DAVIS AUTO SALES
INCREASED BY ADS
President Of Company Tells OF
Method to Keep Down
Production Costs.

Advertising in the newspapers has
proved to be an important factor In
enabling the George w. Davis Motor
Car Company to increase its sales
volume, and thus keep down It's costs
and its prices.
ANY manufacturer must keep his
plant busy and working to as near
capacity as possible to keep his costs
at a minimum" said George w.
Davis, president of the company.
ITO insure this condition in our fac.
tory this year we turned to the news
papers OF the country and by means
of a consistent advertising program
have placed before their readers the
merits and value of the Davis car.
This plan has proved to be sound.
This intensive effort has brought a
fine resonse. and has enabled us to
keep our production at high point.
Our volume is such that overhead
costs are at minimum. We have
thus been able to keep down our
prices and give greater value. April
is, ordinarily, our largest month in
point of shipment OF cars. This
year May exceeded April, and we
know that June will he better than
May"
