Patsy O'Rourke
Great Judge of
Green Pastimers
a couple of years ago when he was
managing the Albany club in the New
York State League. His Seaton coup
was even more of a beat, however, for
he had to outgeperal Cleveland to filch
Tom from the Portland Coasters in
the fall of 1911.
Trie Naps took Buddy Ryan. Roger
Pe< kinpaugh and Bill Steen that fail,
and then, when draft season came
along, copped Red Kuhn, too. Seaton
also likely would have been turned
over in the winter, as McCredie
strongly recommended him.
But Patsy was on the job and Phil
adelphia put in a draft and secured
the curve-ball artist. Now Seaton is
up at the top of the heap with a re-
markable string of victories. Inci
dentally, Cleveland lost Kuhn later
when the National Commission ruied
that the reinstated outlaw was the
property of the Chicago Sox.
O’Rourke's recommendation so far
this year is Johnny Williams, of the
Sacramento Senators, for whom ten
major clubs tire angling.
SHERIFF HARBURGER SAYS
BOXERS ARE TOO FAT
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Sheriff Har-
burger thinks the participants in local
boxing matches these days are too fat,
and expressed himself in the following
warning to boxing clubs:
“I saw a bout last week at the St.
Nicholas Club. One of the men was hog
fat and certainly unfit to box for any
length of time. The doctor ip charge
evidently had made a superficial exam
ination The same thing occurred at
the Atlantic Garden this week. The
matches were stopped before any inju
ries were done. 1 give this warning,
that a thorough examination must be
made of the participants. I will see that
the law is carried out to the letter."
DUKE HELPS SUBSCRIPTION.
LONDON, Aug. 23.—The Duke cf
Westminster has subscribed $1,000 to a
fund to be raised to send British ath
letes to the Olympic games in Berlin in
1916.
Sent Seaton, Alexander, Chalmers
and Howley to Phillies—Wil
liams Recommended.
While Pat»y O’Rourke, Venice in-
flelrh r. is having a hard time getting
started this year, the scrappy Irish
man holds no fear of the world. He
can nave a nice. fat. juicy job any
time he wants it ncouting for the
Philadelphia Nationals.
And no wonder! For it was Patrick
who sent to the Phillies those two re.
marknble pitching stars, Alexander
and Seaton, and likewise the lesser
constellations. Chalmers and Dan
Howley.

r | ''HE 1914 Overland is the most
JL wonderful car of the new season.
And the price is again reduced.
Bigger, better and more beautiful
than ever, it is already the biggest seller
of its type in the world.
The motor is more powerful; the
wheelbase longer; the tires larger; the
tonneau more roomy; the equipment
more complete, better and costlier than
ever. In every respect Overland value
has been increased while the price has
been decreased. i
The manufacturers have turned their
enormous facilities over to the building
of this one model. In no other way
could such value be secured.
The production has been increased
to 50,000 cars. There is an even stricter
practice of the well known Overland
manufacturing economies. And this
means a greater car at less cost to you.
So finely drawn is the big 1914 Over
land production plan that 50,000 cars
will be built; 10,000 men will be kept
busy all the year ’round; every wheel of
the $4,000,000 worth of the most modern
machinery kept in constant operation,
and never a moment’s hesitation per
mitted in a plant that covers more than
100 acres of ground.
This is the way the Overland makes
possible a $1200 value for $050.
We have the new model 79 Over
lands on our salesroom floor now. We
urge you to see this new model at once.
Ride in the car; feel what a difference
the big 114-inch wheelbase makes; note
the car’s entirely changed appearance.
It is neater, prettier than ever—and that
means the handsomest car of the year.
The long wheelbase gives increased
riding comfort.
The improved Overland motor is
rated at 35-horsepower—plenty of power
to give satisfying comfort and speed.
You’ll find a most efficient and reli
able electric lighting system on the new
Overland. This costly addition to equip
ment is worthy a $1500 car.
The new Overland body has a hand
some finish—beautiful, rich, dark Brew
ster green. The trimmings are of heavy
nickel and aluminum. And the big,
graceful cowl dash gives to the car an
appearance of dignity vainly sought in
many other cars of higher price.
Examine the spacious tonneau; note
the big, soft, deep and luxurious folds of
upholstery. The new overland is bigger
and better; we can show you point for
point where it is the best your money
can buy.
Stop in to-day.
