Despite the fact that these engines have fewer moving parts than Stude- baker car and arc driven on steel rails by expert engineers, they run less than 500 miles on any trip, then go in the roundhouse for service. How do Commander prices compare with
 other cars of similar power?
 No other car of equal or greater rated horse- power sells for less than double the price of Tho Commander. To match The Commander in power you must pay from $4, 1000 to $lo,ooo. Why arc Commander prices so low? Volume production on q One-Proft basis gives you truly great automobile enormous power and luxurious comfort at moderate price. That is why the Studcbaker Big Six outsells the com bined totals of all other cars in the world of equal or greater rated horsepower.

Anything Possible When
MCGraW Uses Player
Like Farrell in Trade,
BY HENRY L. FARRELL

United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT
NEW YORK, June t4.-DeSperate
efforts of John McGraw to get win
ming baseball out of the Giants
which caused him to part with Eddie
Farrell, one of the best young in
fielders in baseball, may arouse some
of the other contending managers
to the same radical action.
Farrell was one of the sensations
of the season when Travis Jackson
the regular shortsUop, was in the
hospital. Farrell played and batted
so we'll it was thought Jackson
would have trouble getting his job
back.
McGraw said Farrell didn't have
Jackson's experience and had to
think first on double plays.
With a catching staff that had
collapsed and pitching staff with
two distinct disappointments, Nc
Graw had to give something to get
something and he gambled on the
Farrell deal.
From the same point of view it
looks as if more deals will follow
in the wake of McGraws third big
move of the season, counting Horns
hby and Roush deals as two others
rout of the ordinary swapping line.
Boston now has two great short
stops in Farrell and Manager Dave

Bancroft. Cincinnati could use a
shortstop, so it is not idle to guess,
inasmuch as Bancroft has not been
huge success IN Boston, that Gin
cinnati might do some business with
the Braves.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are des-
perately in need Of pitchers, but
they haven't much to offer.
The Chicago Cubs already have
put over one deal with the Phillies
and if Carlson, the pitcher they Sc
cured, lives up to expectations it
may prove to be the smartest trans
action of the season. The Cubs ap-
parently are no flash in the pan and
one more winning pitcher might
mean the pennant for them. They
also secured Eddie Pick, third base
man, from Kansas City.
The Cleveland Indians need re-
Inducements, as was shown when
they grabbed the veteran Baby
Doll'' Jacobson from the Boston Red
Sox after he had been put on the
waiver block.
