la It? t mn, Isn't It? Or, rather, how
bo you do It There la a vld dlveralon
of opinion nnd no one deem to know
the cxnct nnawer Opinion nre plentiful
gg noses at a bull game thcue da) a.
gome aurce. but then again some do not.
There Is nothing In the rules to cover
tho matter, Whnt Is the proper move
to make In case a player with the honor
drives out of bounds? Does the honor
plser tee off again or does ho step moan
jfiglv nsklt nnd wave his opponent to tho
tee'
When a national champion and nnallst
In a match are undecided on the matter.
It seems time that a clause were Inserted
in the rules so as to hnve a definite under
standing It la one of tho many similar
cate, nhero n hint In the rules would
help along.
The consensus of opinion seems to bo
that the honor player driving out of
beunds should tee up and drive again, as
his first shot Is a penalty Btroke and does
not affect the rotation of play. In Scot
land 'he opposite Is the case. The U. 8.
Q A has handed down nn opinion as In
tho former statement. Walter Travis,
jhe eteran authority, also holds to this
fBla, as well as many other champions.
Put professionals are lrtually unanimous
that the second player should tco ofT after
ills opponent has driven out of bounds.
They say thnt tho honor plajor Is foolish
(o show his opponent what ho li going to
do on his second shot before the other
kai plajcd his first.
Twterday was Columbus Day, plus a
holiday, and therefore not the best day
jn the world on which to put on a golf
tourney. Trains to the golf courses
looked like excursion Joy-lines feet,
heads and golf sticks hung out of all the
windows. Thero were enough players
cluttered all over the links to recruit n
squad for bno of Germany's Russian
prison camps. But the fulr sex went
rljrht ahead undismayed, nnd nt tho
Cricket Club there was one of the largest
entries ever had for women's club golf
championship. Each contending pair was
sandnlchcd between a couple of mas
culine foursomes, and thero were always
plenty of twosomes ready to cut In. This
vas undoubtedly one reason for the large
scores, as milady's golf goes n-rattllng
when tho masculine eye looks on.
Jn H92 Columbus discovered some spots
hi neor dreamed wcre on the map, and
In the same way, In 1916, some of the
golfers yesterday, at the Cricket Club,
came on new lands. One player steered
her ball to a potato field, and others got
tanled up In strange waters and prim
eval Jungles that never seem to appear
until a tourney rolls around.
Mrs. Clarence It. Vnnderbeck, besides
being champion of America, Is frequently
nlluded to as one of the best players at
the Cricket Club, so that her decision
not to nlay brought cheer to those that
had real aspirations to the title.
Contrary to the Idea of Donald Ross,
champion golf links constructor, many of
the players at the Cricket Club protest
that the new tenth hole at tho Cricket
Club Is not a good golf hole. They say
that thero should bo no 5lts on the left,
as thnt Is the only logical place to lay
a long approach shot. A ball to the
left gets In nil the trouble possible, and
It Is a necessity to go to the right.
One of those to suffer the most on this
hole yesterday was Miss Marlon Nnylor,
whonn chances of winning the medal went
n-tumbllng there. Miss Nnylor took seven
shots from the nrst line trench to the
flag over the fort. In the rest of her
round, her play through tho fairway was
n reflation. She has nil the freedom
and snap to her shots that a professional
cultivates She made brasslc shots that
had the many male golfers gasping. On
tho 13th she made a drive within threo
feet of tho hole,
The fair sex entered the "Devil's
kitchen" all smiles with lslons of knock
ing oft a few of the strokes tnken on
other hole. All lnd lslons of 4, 3, 2 for
thi three holes Rut most came out with
a bitter frown For said holes are very
mean, so goes the tradition.
Miss Gavcrly nnd Miss Campbell had
fine chances for low score toward the
end nnd both were tnlng hard Miss
Campbell ran down a 15-foot putt on the
17th hole nnd Miss Gaverly, nearby, tried
so hard to do ditto that her bnll ran
right up to the lip of the cup and hung
over tho edge before It stopped.
The deep water before the 11th hole
looked so tippling and sunny that one
of the fair players waded In after her
ball and took a shot nt It with her good
niblick. She got n surprise In the way
of a cloudburst of water.
AMERICAN CARS SUPREME
IN ASTOR CUP CONTEST
I Double Victory of Stutz Entries Over European Rivals
at oneepsneaa my uemonstrated sturdiness of
Construction Rather Than Drivers' Skill
jQTURDINESS of American motorcar
" O construction triumphed over European
enelneerlng skill at tho opening of tho
mammoth new Sheepshcad Bay speedway
last Saturday, when the two Stutz cars.
ffirlven by Gil Anderson and Tom Rooney,
DroKe tne worm's record, eacn traveling
raster than 102 miles an hour. Out of the
field of 20 starters only eight were able to
tend the terrific paco to tho end.
Of these only one was a machine of
foreign manufacture, tho Delage, which
Carl Llmberg piloted to sixth place. The
remaining six European speed creations,
five Feugeots and another Delage, were
forced out of the running. Barney Old
fleld's Delage was the first car to tako
the count, limping oft with a broken
connecting rod In the 15th lap. The other
save up tho ghost at various stages of
the grueling Journey, Bob Burman's Peu
geot being tho last to withdraw. A broken
transmission sent the former speed king
to the rits when he had only two more
laps, or four miles, to go. He was run
ning In third place and was giving Roo
ney, in tho Stutz, a hard battle for tho
scond position.
Seasoned motor race devotees who wit
nessed this Initial contest for the Astor
Cup marveled not that the terrific speed
as reached, but that It was so relent
lessly and consistently maintained. That
It was to bo a test of stanch, durable nnd
dependable construction rather than driv
ing skill had been predicted by those who
attended tho elimination trials, and this
prediction a borno out when one by
one the famous drivers of Europe and
America dropped out, while Tom Rooney,
Who was driving a Stutz In his first big
Hie, kept up the terrific pace to the
end, finishing only 47 seconds behind Gil
Anderson In the winning car of tho same
make.
After the raco tho Philadelphia con
tingent gathered around Samuel "Con
sistency" Blocksom to congratulate him.
Before leaving town to attend the two
world's series games In Boston, J. E.
Gomery announced that the Hudson
Company will use a six-cylinder motor
exclusively Jn all future models.
The Briscoe Service Company, a sub
sidiary company of the W. W. Long
strcth Company, Inc., of Bryn Mawr, has
been formed to handle the Briscoe car
for Philadelphia and surrounding terri
tory. Their headquarters are 136 North
Broad street, and their service station
will be at the Longstreth Company's
Bryn Mawr headquarters.
Tho Briscoe Servico Company is In
charge of W. C. Grleb, formerly man
ager of the AJax Tire and Rubber Com
pany, In this city, and a son of W. G.
Grleb, president of that company nt
Trenton. Mr. Grleb waa formerly man
ager of the service department of the
United States Motor Company, of this
city. He has associated with him Homer
C. Rice, formerly of tho Sweeten Auto
mobile Company, the Franklin agents
here, as sales manager,
The Allen Motor Car Company, han

WeJtaMcfaixofliiueanf. Quality-
i
WE WANT you to celebrate with us. Paige
Success overwhelming and unique in the
motor car industry has been our Success.
"We are grateful to our Paige Friends who have con
tributed to this Success. And we want to show our
gratitude in a substantial way.
What We Are Celebrating
This is the anniversary of the Paige entree in the
field of six-cylinder motor cars. Think of that only
a year ago I In twelve months Paige Sixes on sheer
merit of the cars, on their sheer quality on their
sheer value have utterly swept and dominated the
six-cylinder field have won universal recognition as
the unchallenged leaders of the Sixes. It is vastly
more than a dollars-and-cents Success. It is the
victory of an economic principle and a sound Ameri
can idea. A year ago we staked our huge investment
on our belief that the American people would be
Suick to see in these Paige Sixes Supreme Quality at
le lowest possible price for such quality. And the
overwhelming endorsement of the American people
has been our reward.
Now Many More Paige Sixes
Overwhelming and gratifying as the Year's Suc
cess has been, there is a still greater event, a still more
important step in Paige Progress that we are cele
brating in this Paige Jubilee.
That is the opening of the huge four-story con
crete annex to the already enormous Paige factory.
To say that thousands and thousands of square feet
of floor space has been added to Paige manufacturing
facilities perhaps means little. But to say that
. Paigo Production is Now Doubled
means a very great deal both to us and to you.
Although the huge Paige plant has been operated
night and day since last January, we have never caught
up with orders for Paige Sixes. Until now we have
never caught up with this tidal-wave of demand.
Thousands of Paige Purchasers have been disap
pointed and we couldn't avoid it.
Now for the first time with the enormous
factory addition, with our doubled production, with
ample deliveries of Paige materials, we can promise
you your Paige Six. We can now give the thousands
of Paige Enthusiasts, whom for nine months we
have been forced to disappoint, the car of their
choice. Whether it be the improved seven-passenger
.Fairfield "Six-4G" or the new five-passenger Holly
wood Light "Six-3G".
Paige is making Immediate Deliveries.
Other motor car manufacturers are crippled for
materials or because of manufacturing difficulties or
for lack of mechanical equipment. The Paige id pre-'
pared prepared now to keep every promise to sell
you' one of the country's two most popular Sixes at
$1205 or $1095 and
Deliver It To You NOW.
That is the reason we are jubilant why Paige
Success is being celebrated across the Continent
You Can't Afford To Miss This
We are keeping "open house" to our friends. We
have a special exhibit of Paige Sixes. You will find
a striking scheme of decorations. You will find a
special corps of trained Paige demonstrators who
will give you valuable information in the designing,
construction and operation of motor cars which you
can't afford to miss. You will learn scientifically why
Paige Sixes are the fastest selling Sixes on the market.
There is no obligation of any kind. You will be
our guest. You will be given a hearty welcome. And,
we believe, you will be entertained and interested at
our Paige Jubilee.
Why A Paige Six Is Supreme?
You will answer that question for yourself after
you have seen the world famous seven-passenger
"Six-40," and ridden in it, as we shall want you to do.
You will marvel at the beauty and distinction of its
lines, the harmony of its colors and red-trimmed run
ning gear. You will marvel at the comfort of the
easy-riding; of the genuine French glaze, hand-buffed
leather and full hair upholstery; of the disappearing
chairs in the tonneau. You will marvel at the amaz
ing power and flexibility and silence of the Paige six
cylinder motor. You will marvel at the supreme
luxury and smartness and charm of this splendid
vehicle and at the price $1205.
But we want you to see for yourself. That's why wS,
we invite you.
And The Light Six
In the exquisite five-passenger Hollywood tho
Paige Light "Six-30" you will be equally interested
the car that took the American motoring public by
storm when it was introduced last June. It Ls ia
every detail, every essential, Paige Quality, Paigo
Elegance, Paige Value, and the price is $1095.
So, come to the Paige Jubilee.
