GIANTS REGISTER nth PENNANT
! IN NATIONAL LEAGUE; 9 UNDER
GENERAL SHIP OF NAP MCCRAW

New York. Sept. 2S.-(By The A.
P.)-The New York Giants today
clnched the 1923 National League
pennant by defeating Brooklyn ) to
and will oppose the New York
Yankees, American League pennant
winners. for the third successive sea-
son in the worlds series. which will
start at the Yankee stadium, October
~.
The victory increased the Giants
lead over their nearest rival, Gin
cinnati, to four and a half games.
Thus the champions would finish at
the top by half game. even if they
lost all of their remaining four
games, while the Reds were victori-
Gus in all their remaining four. In
such an eventuality. the final stand
ing would be:
Won Lost
Giants " 81 80
Reds . 81 90
BY capturing the 1928 flag, the
Giants scored their eleventh victory
in National League history, thus ty-
ing the record of the Chicago Cubs.
Nine of these pennant triumphs have
been gained under the indomitable
leadership Of John Joseph McGraw,
Little Napoleon" of the diamond,
who leads all other managers in this
respect His nearest rival is Con-
ME Mack, tall tutor of the Phila-
delpha Athletics, who has six to his
credit.
McGraw holds the additional dis
tinction of having twice in his ca
reer won three remnants in a row, a
feat no other manager has ever per-
formed. The Giant chieftain piloted
his club to victories In 1911. l9l2
and 1913. The Chicago Nationals
twice captured three flags in a row,
but two managers shared in the hon
ors, the late Pop" Arson leading
the club to the top in 1850, 1881,
1882, while Frank Chance piloted
the Cubs to championships in 1906,
1907 and 1908.
Besides his triumph of the past
three seasons, McGraw also account
ed for pennants in 1904, 1900 and
1917. The other New York remnants
were won in 1885 and 1889.
McGraw's4 goal now is to establish
a record of winning three consecu-
tive worlds championships. His
club conquered it's metropolitan rival
in 1921 and 1922.
The Giants won the pennant this
year only after one of the hardest
fought campaigns in annals OF the
senior circuit. Except for brief
squirt by the Brooklyn Dodgers early
in the season, the worlds champions
met their stiffest opposition from
three western clubs, with Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh forming the chief
menace to their supremacy.
The real turning point in the race
came in the crucial mid summer
western trip of the Giants, who
played at the top of their game to
defeat Pittsburgh in the opening
series and then take five straight
from the Reds. These victories gave
the McGraw men formidable adj
vantage but they were forced to
stand o.: further challenges. The
Reds. despite their crushing set
J backs. rallied and crept close to the
top by taking a later series from
the Giants at the Polo grounds. Nir-
tually all further chance for the
Reds vanished. however. when these
two rivals broke even in n two game
series at Cincinnati early this week.
One game on the Giant schedule
will be unplayed. a contest with St.
Louis, scheduled earlier in the sea-
son, having been cancelled.

New Dodge Brothers

1t doesn't take Nn owner long to
detect the remarkable riding quail
tiles of the new Dodge Brothers
Motor Cars, according to Lewiston

dealer.
The cars have been tried out now
by owners over every kind of 60
ing and the riding comfort has been
demonstrated thoroughly. 1t is felt
in both the front and rear seats. re-
CARELESS of position or road condi-
tions. There is no questioning the
feeling of unusual comfort and the
definite impression of stability and
solidity which contribute so ma
terially to satisfaction in driving.
The splendid riding comfort of
the new Dodge Brothers cars is due
largely to the type of rear spring
suspension employed. The rear
springs which are extremely long.
are undressing. Also, the fact that
the body has been heightened ard
lowered tends to make the car cling
moro firmly to the road.
The new car is, in every sense, a
remarkably easy riding car. -

Franklin Brakes 1919 to 1909
Better Than Efficiency

A new record for braking efficien-
CIV was recently made by Franklin
engineers in Syracuse, n. Y. sur
passing by from 20 percent to 100
percent the limits which have Tor
years been accepted as the safety
standard in the best engineering
practice and which have been wide
" published throughout the country.
During the test on August Z,

passcngers and running at speed
of 40 miles an hour over dry cement
road was brought to complete
stop in 81 feet. inches-a mark
which is 65 feet, + inches better
than the ideal. Typical of the brak-
ing performance under city operat-
ing conditions the same Franklin
Sedan, at speed of 20 miles an
hour, was brought to a complete
stop in exactly 20 feet-or IL feet

Studebaker .
Holds Largest
Fall Drive

On Thursday, Sept. 20, $50 cars
were driven from the South Bend
factory of the Studebaker Corpora
ton to fill retail orders of Stude-
baker dealers.
This was the largest driveway
son of the year.
These cars were 1924 Model Light
Skies and included the full range of
body styles - Roadsters. Touring
Cars, Coupe Roadsters and Sedans.
The long line of cars made an i'm
pressive spectacle as they passed
through the streets of South Bend
and crowds gathered along the route
to admire the attractive lines of the
new cars.
Such an unusual driveway was
made possible by the continuous,
large demand for Studebaker cars
from all sections of the country. All
plants are running at capacity In an
effort to meet this demand.
Since the Light-Six was introduced
three years ago. more than $50. 300
Studebaker Light Skies have been
sold and their popularity is con-
stantly growing. Even the present
output of over 625 cars a day can
not adequately meet the insistent
demand for all models of Studebaker
cars.
Work on new plant additions, I'M
der construction at South Bend. In
diana, which will increase Stude-
baker manufacturing facilities still
further. is progressing satisfactorily.
The new six STORY body building.
now nearing completion, contains
100000 square feet of floor space.
Shipping will be facilitated by new
four STORY storage building and a
train shed which are being added to
the present facilities. Each of these
additions is 76x364 feet in size and
both are now practically under roof
and will be soon ready for use.
The mammoth new foundry. cost
ing approximately se,500,000. will
measure 722x6S3 feet. and is now
well under ~'"-' When finished this
will be the grey iron foundry

Sarazen and Hagen
Score Easy Wins
in Pelham Manor Golf

Pelham Manor, n. Y, Sept. 2S
(By A. p. )-Rather easy and color
less victories came today TO Gene
Sarazen and Walter Hagen in the
semi-final round of the Professional
Golfers Association tournament and
they will meet tomorrow for the IT,
tie that both have had the honor OF
winning in other years.
Sarazen, winner of the champion
ship last year, disposed of Robert
Cruickshank of the SchackamaXon
hole of their match, { up and 5 to
play and Hagen. champion of the
professionals in 1921 eliminated
"Dapper George" Mclean, of the

Despite the fact that he was only
four strokes over par for the entire
route, Cruickshank always was
struggling. He appeared the same
Wee Bobbie" who set the CALLER

ionship at Inwood last July while
playing the first nine and was as
cocky and confident as ever when
they strobe to the tenth all even.
But the four BRIDES in row
that flew off Sarazen's clubs on the
next four were a bit too much.
The black headed, smiling Sara
zen was in trouble often, but his re-
CoVerieS were remarkable.
Hagen always was far ahead of
Mclean, whose putting. unusually
good in his other matches of the
week. became miserable. Hagen
was 5 up at the end of eighteen. On
the first hole in the afternoon he
was within fifteen feet of the pin

an eagle three. He increased his
lead to ten up on the second with a
birdie three, to eleven up with a
birdie four on the third and l. up
with par three on the fourth
while Mclean took an extra putt
for four.
Mclean became Dormie 13 when
he took a five on the par -four on the
fifth hole but Hagen conceded the
next after a second shot into a mud
hole. The match ended at the sew

Franklin has used the transmits
sion type of service brake since 1903.
Experiments have shown that the
pressure of two fingers on the brake
pedal is enough to hold the car on
a steep hill. Foot pressure Is &C
tually multiplied 50 times through
beverages and differential gearing.
The construction of the braking
system, Franklin engineers explain,
is such that the braking force is
constantly and exactly equalized on
each rear wheel through the same
mechanism that equalizes the power
delivered, viz, the differential. AS
a result, skidding is almost impos-
sible. It's other advantages are easy
application, simplicity and light
weight, and the infrequency of ad-
justments. 1t is not uncommon for
a Franklin car to go 10000 miles
between brake adjustments and 3d.
COO miles between brake lining re-
placements.

international and
Eastern League
Winners to Play Series

New York, Sept. 2S-BecauSe OF
the belief that it might detract from
interest in the annual Junior world $
series between Pennant winners OF
the International League and the
American Association, the champion
ship series scheduled between Balti-
more, International League cham
rions, and Hartford, Eastern League
flag victors, has been cancelled. In
stead, these clubs will stage two
game exhibition series at Hartford,
Conn, October 5 and 6, in which no
title will be at stake.
Objection to the Hartford Balti-
more series, originally slated to have
started October 4 at Hartford, was
made by President Hickey Of the
American Association and President
Sexton of the National Association,
the minor league ruling body.
He pointed out, as basis for pro-
test, that Baltimore last season lost
a 3-game series to New Haven, the
1922 Eastern League champions, be-
fore engaging the ST. Paul club.
American Association victors, in the
Junior title series. This years junior
title series is scheduled to begin Oc-
tober 10 at either Kansas City Of ST.
Paul, clubs of these two cities still
being in the American Association
flag race.
The arrangement by which the ex-
hibition series between Hartford and
Baltimore has ben substituted for the
original plan was made in a tele-
phone conference between President
Toole and President Dan O'Neil of
the Eastern League late this after
