TERE'S a simple but obvious fact
j i about buying new car you
may have overlooked.
The real measure of what the new
car costs you is the money differ
ence yon pay after h-ade-in allowance
has been deducted from the delivered
price.
A high trade-in allowance doesn't
always mean a good IDEAL. - 1t may
only mean that the delivered price
has been inflated in order to make
such an allowance possible. That is
called packing and about the only
way to avoid it is to get an itemizcd
break down of delivered prices
that you can compare with others
figures.

1t has taken Earl Cooke nine sea-
sons of kicking around the Inter-
national Baseball League to prove
he's better than just a fair pitcher,
but he finally has done it.
After showing nothing startling
for Toronto, Syracuse and Buffalo,
since he came out of Lemonville,
Ontario, back in 80, the 6-foot right
handler gave the folks something to
write home about last night. And
he did it the hard way by winning
both ends of a double-header for
Buffalo, shutting out Jersey City,
20, in both.
It's not that Cook or the Bisons
are going to raise much smoke. For
the Bisons are buried down in sew
enth place, while Rochester and
Newark are only half-a-game a part
at the head of the pack as the result
of the Bears 81 win over the pace
settlers yesterday.
However, you don't pitch double
shutouts every day in the week.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 16.-It
may be brother against brother when
the New York Yankees and Chicago
White Sox tangle in the American
League next season, but lanky, like
able George Dickey would rather
play against his famous brother, Bill,
than with him.
George, known to his teammates
as "Skeeter," is a catcher, just like
Bill. He was sold to the White Sox
yesterday by the Oklahoma City
Indians of the Texas League.
George once tried out with the
Yanks, but his weakness at the plate
robbed him of a full-time job, just
as it did in trials with the Giants
and Boston Red SoX.
This year, however, the strapping
6-foot 4-inch husky has found his
batting eye Right-handed, he al
ways was sWitch-hitter. But he
gave up trying to alternate against
right-handed and 1eft-handed pitch
ing this season and bats left-handed

He's clouting a lusty .319, third
best average in the Texas League
His shotgun arm and his expert
handling of pitchers mark him as

Skeeter broke into pro ball in
1888 with Wheeling, w. Va, a YAM
kee farm in the Middle Atlantic
League. At midseason he was sent
to Scranton in the New York-Penn
League, farmed to Norfolk in 1884
and went to the Giants in 1885. The
Giants sent him to Little Rock, Ark,
his home town, in the Southern As
sociation.
He was sold to the Red Sox in
1886, played with Milwaukee and
Minneapolis in 1887 and went to
Portland in the Pacific Coast League
in 1888. Oklahoma City bought him
at the end of the 1888 season.
