the last two chapters were unfinished.
'The Butte scrapper, who is live

the zenith of his showing in the tni.d

may, the scrappers last night fought
witih enough vim to satisfy the most
exacting and they fought clean; the
whole performance was one that could
in no wise embarrass the sprinkling
of Indies present.
Preliminary liout Good.
One of the preliminaries was dis
tinctively interesting. Fireman Dav
ids of this city made his debut as -i
boxer. Neither he nor his friends
have anything to be ashamed of be
cause he did.. True, he mixed with a
scrapper whom many think couid
worry Berger more than McCarroll
did, but in spite of that the La .Grande
fireman displayed natural instincts as:
a boxer, and was game to the core.'
Davies has boxed informally but nev
er in public. Purslow, his adversarj'i
is a tried and schooled performer, and
of course, was the better man of the
two, but those who recognize ability
when they see it, discovered in (Ue

LA GRANDE BOY FAKES WELL
IN. THE SOUTH.
Salt Lake and Pocatello Papers Speak I
Highly of His Talent. j
A. W. (Waldo) Geddes is pitching
goc hull at Pocatello now. After a
highly successful season with the
Stall & Dean aggregation at Salt
1ike he has gone to Pocatello. With
the former bunrf: he went exceedingly
well and his team won the chamnion-
ship of Utah, has an even break with
Pocatello "for the Southern Idaho 'hon
ors and in August will try for the
Koclty Mountain championship at
WOMAN RUNS SCHOOL FOR GIRL'COAGHES!
Denver. Utah and Idaho papers of
ten speak of the former La Grande
lad. For instance here is a recent
article in the -Salt Lake Herald-Republicans
"The tight pitching of Geddes en
abled the fast Stall & Dean aggrega
tion to defeat the Utah Power &
Light team of Ogdcn yesterday after
noon by the close score of 6 to 5. The
contest was a battle from the start to
the finish, and only a few of the Og
den fans took advantage of it.
"Ogden started off well and made
three runs before the Stall & Dean
team could come across. However,
the Salt Lake boys started in the
fourth and added two runns on
GumVs double and Sorenson's triple.
"Three more were added in the sev
enth and one in the eighth on hits toy
Fitzgerald, Gunn and Sullivan.
Thie Stall & Dean team proved too
strong for the locals in bunching their
hits and when they were once in the
lead Geddes saved the game for them
by pitching air tight ball. This makes
the second time that the Stall & Dean
classy team 'has defeated the Ogden
boys and adds another victory to the
long list that has already been run up.
Then, when Waldo had transferred
to Pocatello, the paper there remarks:
"A. W. Geddes, of Salt Lake, has
arrived in Pocatello and will make his
home here in the future having ac
cepted a position with the Short Line.
Mr. Geddes will be remembered by
many Pocatello people as th star
pitcher for the Stall & Dean team,
which played a series of ball" games
with the Pocatello club at the time of
the big "Fourth" celebration. It is
expected that in the future Mr. Ged
des will identify Wmself with the Po
catello team and will he a strong ad
dition to the local pitching staff. He
is interested in athletics in a general
way and stated that the Short Line is
planning to .organize basketball
teams this winter.
"Jt is also expected a railroad foot
ball series will be-arranged here this
fall. As the employees of the iSbort
Line in Salt Lake expect to have
teams there will bo an opportunity
for the men to get out-of-town games,
as well as meeting local teams."

' Light Six Cylinder Car.
"The most recent figures of auto
mobile production constitute hard and
fast evidence of the trend of automo
bile purchasers toward the light six
cylinder car," says C. A. McCrary,
distributor for Haynes "Light Six."
"Four years ago only 24.0G6 six
cylinder automobiles were built an
nually, but this year's nrtd season sta
tistics indicate that the present an
nual production will nmount to more
than 3!i0,000 cars. This means , that
the demand for six cylinder automo
biles has multiplied fourteenfo'd
ki:ice 1912.
- "At thevtime when only a small
number of six cylinder cars was ne
ii manufactured, it was generally
recognized that the six cylinder motor
was a more flexible source of pnver
than the four, but the Wending of
power with economy in the light six
automobile has been the chief influ
ence that has radically altered the
purchaser's mind in regard to the
number of cylinders that he should
buy.
' Along with the increase in motor
car production, the demand for four
cylinder cars has quadrupled. Due
to the fact that the low priced four
cylinder cars are within financial
reach of a large body of purchasers,
the four has had a large sale.
"The 'Light Six' cars bid fair to be
como a universal type of automobile.
I'he small bore motors with light re
ciprocating parts arc economical both
in the use of fuel and lubricants.
Their range of speed and power an;
will beyond the demands that ordi
nary road service places on an au
tomobile. ' The multiple cylinder motor, whose
inroads it most needs to fear, follows;
the same gcnernl principle 'bf small
bore, light weight construction, and
the dominating factor in the choice
between the two types of automobiles!

the buyer desires in his car." i

Twenty thousand persons at San

ceived a cheer that echoed clear to
the Mexican boundary.
The "leap the gap" stunt was in-
uuguraiea oy vnaries Irwin, manager
for the Lord Motor Car company,
'which handles the Maxwell line in Sa'n
Diego. The Exposition officials had
approached Irwin to get his ideas on
a real motor car thriller for a big
holiday bill.
"Why not get Jack Little down
here from Santa Barbara and let him
duplicate that moving picture leap
across a chasm," asked Irwin, but at
first he was 'turned down' by the con
servative San Diegoans. It was too
daring, they said; a machine might
stand the strain once or twice, but to
repeat it three time in one day not
a chance.
