DAILY - -1 i -- - ,., hhh orf Championship Game and Mrs. Gait Divide Popular Atten tion Now By George B. Holmes. (United Press Btnt'f Correspondent.) Philadelphia, Oct. 9. The weather man was pinch hitting like a fiend for feverish landonn today. What poets describe as "An azure sky" floated over mn-splotched Philadelphia for the second verse of the all-popular ditty, the world's series. Jt was football weather for a base ball populace. Small chunks of ice seemed to wander promiscuously around in the ozone, but under the hectic in fluence of the coming battle royal, passed unnoticed. The sun, although getting away from the polo in a cool sort of way, bade fair to warm to its job before 2 o'clock, the hour the teams resume the "continued in our next." Bill Penn's bailwick is expectant. It is not only looking for another victor-, but is on tig toe for a first peek at Mrs. Norman Gait, the president's fi ancee. It is only mildly interested in President Wilson it has seen hin be fore but Mg. Gait even snatched some of Alexander's popularity. And when Philadclphian can forget Grover for somebody who can't play baseball, that somebody must be some body. Next to Mrs. Gait, the interest cen tered in who is going to pitch. There wasn't much interest in that yesterday as Moran had only one ace. Pat must lead a king toduy. Carrigan, on the other hand, has Bevcral aces, and quite a ouncn or Kings. It looked early today like Leonard for Boston mid Chalmers for Philadel phia. - Leonard is a bear. He has been Drov- ing it all the season, and the players say he is the best southpaw in the game since Marquard. Chalmers is favored because ho is pitching next best to Alexander. Mayer is, or has been, in the midst of a protracted slump. Eppn Jeptha Rixey has not been lucky this season. Moreover it takes something besides good pitching to darn those Red Sox it takes a goodly quantity of gray matter. Chalmers' worst enemies nev er had nerve enough to charge him with lacking brains.

And because every member of your family mother, wife, and daughter can drive the Detroit Electric expertly and safely through even the most crowded streets or over the roughest roads you get more use from it than if you owned a heavy, complicated gas car. The Detroit Electric is the best auto mobile because it returns you greatest dividends in use. You never have to hire a chauffeur when you aren't free to drive nor is your family forced to depend upon your convenience to do their motoring.

To tell the truth (although the facts be rude), this game was far from glor ious, however, it is viewed, it had view points to fight about or cause the muse a flight about it wnsn'tymuch to write about at least, I thought it crude.

P. Chnll'ant. For nearly a! quarter of a century e has filled "tho I sumo job that of "building better business." The bicycle business first felt the1 stimulus of his energetic personality. That was in about 1SH2 and he wis: then jobbing and retailing bicycles in Atlanta, ticorgia. In fact it was tiie South that knew him best until ISOH, when he became division manager of the American Cycle Manufacturing Co., of Chicago. The years from Wil2 to 1S)08, he spent moidly in tiie east.. It was from this position of general man ager of tho association of licensed auto mobile manufacturers that he went to the Packard Motor Car- company as sales manager, leaving it to become president of the 10. X. Thomas Motor Car company of Buffalo. Then, in 1014 ho became secretary of the Klectrie Automobile Manufacturers' association, of Chicago. In a recent interview Mr. Chalfant said, "When I entered the electric car field. on the first of October, 11)14, as secretary of the Klectrie Automobile Manufacturers' association, I viewed tiie electric, car with much the same light aa do most men in the automobile business who nro not intimately ac quainted with the electric car industry, lint my opinions save undergone a rail icnl change during the eleven months that I have sie:it organizing the deal ers in sixty of the principal towns where electric, cars are sold. These re adjustments have been the result of a thorough study of the entire situation pursued right on the firing line. 1 know the electric en." industry is of far greater magnitude than 1 hail anv pre vious idea. 1 am absolutely convinced) in my own mind that there is a big market for electric cars in fields which so far, have been but merely touched. As 1 sco it the public doe not Want a cheap car, but the bent car cheaper. Knowing what I do, 1 view my con nection with tiie Anderson Klectrie Cnr company as id"al for eventunllyj cultivating the greater market. Fori nine yifirs the Anderson Klectrie Car company has specialized on and con-! lined its effort exclusively to build-1 ing electric-powered enclosed automo-1 biles for town and interurban use. l)e- troit Klectricit have always been of , absolutely the highest quality. Now. with the increased volume attained, it: hs been possible to reduce prices from '1(10 to 72.'5 per model without the' slightest deviation in qnnlitv, whatso-i ever. In oilier words, we now have what the public wants not a cheaper car, but the best car cheaper." WEST SALEM Rev. and Mrs. T. D.

Ferguson. (1'nited Press Staff Correspondent.) Philadelphia, Oct. 9. A new Alexan der looked pensively to the sky today and sighed for new world's to conouer. As the Alexander of old led his legions ov er fields of victory, ff so the new "Alexander i . I stands triumphant. lie lt j l's swept all beforo ' w fl Mini in hiu nu-M 1. nil- Wick and has subdued the latest enemy, the Hed Sox. His victory yester day was not without honor far from it but if the Phillies had fallen from a balloon yesterday, they propably would have landed in a mint, or in a diamond patch. They had every break. As a game in which a real fan could get worked up and drown himself in a bottle of pop while choking on a sack of peanuts, it was nix. Hut as an ex nmple of what can be done through the power of one mnn aided by the breaks it stands oift ns one of the most historic tussels of a world's series. Alexander is long on the think stuff. His arm responded when hits meant runs, and the Red Sox were immediate ly cut off from all speaking acquain tance with safeties. tlrover Cleveland Alexander won the game in which h i was nicked for 8 hits, while his team-mates gathered only five irom stnore. nut tnese hits were scat tered over an hour ami 58 minutes and did not come more often than one in an inning. . Also the very ball thnt Shore served, and on which the Red Sox relied to beat the Phillies took the reverse Knglish and was the ball that spelled defeat for them. He has a great fast ball. It is a "sinker." It sinks instead of ris ing as it conies to tiie plate, contrary to other pitchers' fast bulls. When the "sinkcr"is hit, it is driven into the dirt, instead of into the air. The dime whs thnt Shore would rob the Phillies of their advantage from short fences because they would be unable to drive the bull into th alv Tun " oi i, L " worked as was expected. Hut when it I went into the dirt, the heavy field P played a part, and four dinky Infield grounders won for the Phillies. Two of these were badly handled, and a chance of a double play was lost in the eighth when two runs were scored by Scott's failure to give Hurry credit for some scintillating fielding and to cover the bag. Along with tiie "breaks," Alexander was supreme in the pinches. Mine Hos toners were stranded. The way was open for a run in every inning but they were unable to find it. Harry's slop of Hancrcft's hit in the eighth was tho feature of an otherwise colorless fielding gnnio. Ho made a wonderful on hand stab at a grass cut ter and brought it down. Scott wns not at second, however, and a moment later another infield knock sent. Hifncroft over the pan with tiie run that clinched the game. From Btart to finish Alexander work ed deliberately and with supreme eonfi' .deuce. He served n a total of 130 pitched balls, thirty-five of these were strikes, MS balls and 20 fouls, some of which were strikes. Of 2i blows into fair territory, eight were safe and six were outfield outs. The infield did the rest, aside from five strike outs. The fifth was Alexander's fastest in ning. Shore singled but tho sido was retired on five pitched balls. Hhorc used 21 less than Alexander, pitching HUj inning. His record stood at .'! balls, 30 strikes, 14 fouls, 17 outs and five safeties. There is world of confidence in the 1 'li illy camp. Among the Red Sox, the suggestion of fighting is coming to the surface and thero is a feeling of relief that, the first meet ing with Alexander is over. ' He beat them, just as expected, but the Red Nox are more confident for the next tussle with (irover.

It is confidently predicted thut the prize winners in the tour will be com pelled to average better than 30 miles to the gallon of gasoline a feat which if realized, will be an almost revolu tionary commentary on the efficient design of the modern light, American built automobile.
