new straight eight. leader in sales
in the lower medium price field in
1884. has been reduced in price for
1885, its new base price at the fac
tory being quoted at $4,000. The

economy. coupled with all the fea-
lures which Oldsmobile engineers
believe the public wants in 1885
cars.

Der in the Straight eight. List prices

livered price OF the Six-cylinder
four-door sedan. for example. in

the delivered price here of the same

ment in 1884. The delivered price
OF the new e:ght-cylinder four

that the public is entitled to all
that IS new and better. Rather than

GREAT GOLF
(BY ART KRENZ)

All duffers are deficient in the straight left arm. For some per- sons a straight left arm is a physical impossibility and they should think in terms of an FIX TENDED left arm as this is a prime factor of good form: 1t con- tributes to the three points of the efficiency rate, clubhead speed, &C., curate contact, and consistency of performance. Now with the back swing, it is merely the means of storing up power to be used in the hitting, but to increase the amount of this stored up power is of first importance. The player who allows his left arm to bend is sacrificing breadth of arc and power and is that much away from the ideal of efficiency. In the correct golf stroke the left arm becomes fully extended soon after the backswing gets under way; the arc of the. swing is limited by the length of the left arm, the exten- sion of the left arm assures a broad sweep which means so much in power. Any shortening of the left arm, by bending at the elbow, will contract the arc of the swing and reduce the space in which speed may be built up on the way down.

Showing plenty of class. far more than probably was expected, Eli Cutler, veteran of the courts, trod all over Eddie Smith in their quarter final match yesterday, 6-3, 6-4. Never once was Smith in sufficient command of the situa- ton to afford the victor any trou- ble.
 Gordon Riach, defending cham pion, and Henry Cieslewski also advanced to the semi-final round by virtue of their wins over John Tata and John Stollar, respec- lively. Tata bowed to Riach 6-2, 6-1 and Stollar was subdued 6-4, 6-2, but not before he had caused Cieslewski to step around quite a bit.

CROWD OF 25,OOO WRESTLING FANS
 AT HUB TONIGHT
OMahOny and George to Put on Another ''Title"
 BOut-Belt to Winner

Boston, Sept. 11.-(UP)-With fair and warmer weather promised, the question of whether Danno O 'Mahoney is the rightfuI holder of the worlds wrestling champiori- ship will be settled when the young Irishman meets Ed Don George of North Java, N. r., in return title bout at Fenway Park tonight.
 The bout was originally sched- uled for last Monday, but rain forced a postponement.
 When O'Mahoney won the title from George in recent contest here, the latter cast aspersions on the result, claiming he was short counted in returning to the ring after being tossed out by Danno, after Danno had been given the benefit of a long count by Referee Jimmy Braddock, heavyweight boxing champion.
 As result of his charges, George refused to turn over the diamond studded championship belt. To- night. however, the belt is being held by Paul Bowser, promoter of the bout, who will turn it over to the winner. To preclude a repeti- tion of the aftermath of their pre- vious melee, Sam Smith, a veteran wrestling referee, has been ap- pointed to handle the tussling.
 Fans disagree as to the effect of the two-day postponement on the two principles. Most feel that George, a .steel-nerved, veteran campaigner, was benefited by the delay, while O'Mahoney, a 22-year- old, high-strung youth who was on edge Monday, was affected ad- versely.
 Both, however, appear confident. With each announcing they would be the aggressor, and promising immediate retaliation for any un- orthodox act, the forecasted at- tendance of 25,000 will probably materialize.
 The bout is scheduled for two falls out of three, but if no fall is recorded within one hour, one fall will be sufficient. If O'Mahoney's shoulders are pinned to the mat, it will be the first time 1t has been ac- complished in the 55 bouts he has participated in since coming to America last December.
 Winning the title will not be new experience for George He won it first from Gus Sonnenberg of Boston, lost it to Ed (Strangler) Lewis. regained it from Henc De- glane of France, and then it passed to O'Mahoney. Lewis was Georges principal trainer and will be in his corner tonight.
