CAROLAN With Benny Leonard virtually, lost as an eastern entertainer for at least another month, the lightweights in this section are commanding more attention. Willie Jackson alio Is on the coast, and Irish Patsy Cllne Is on the side lines. night now Low Tendler Is the one lightweight In demand. Distant New ark, K. J has heard of him, and tho result Is we find the Btar southpaw ready and prepared to Bouthpaw before a Urge gathering there tonight. Tendler will exhibit before the patrons In the First Ittgtment Armory with Joe Welling for eight rounds. This looks like a regular light. In fact, everything appears regular except the weight. Welling Is said to have posted 1500 to ncale 132 pounds ringside. Tendlcr's op ponent lias no realization of the Aaluo t money or just naturally Is generous to agree to such terms. Welling no longer Is a legitimate lightweight. If ho enters tl.e ring to night under 135 ptunda Tendler doubt less will be satisfied. Tho rangy New Yorker Is a good boy, but thote lnti mate with Tendler's class dc not expect the Quaker City boy to sufTer any act back. Tho last flght staffed In the Newark armory was between Denny Leonard and .Tohnny Dundee. This battle packed them against tho roof. While Tendler and Welling do not possess tho dranlng powers cf Dundeo and Tendler In tho .tersey city, they will play to many ring fans, according to PM1 Classman, Tendler's manager. A clean-cut victory 111 not add any lo Tendler's prestige, night now Iew admittedly Is the class of tho crop of lightweight contenders. Ho never scales over the 130 mark and Is a legitimate cotitendcr. So much cannot be said for Welling. Tendler's only gain In this battle win r a financial one. To boost his pugll Utlo Btock it will bo necessary for him to register r knockout. GOWDY WANTS TO RETURN Stur Catcher "Peeved" Over Be ing Held in Service Iloston, Teh. :6.

An army of specialists has spent two years in perfecting this ideal Six. All during war time, while the Mitchell built trucks, they developed this car part by part. Not merely to create new attractions. This new car is based on new standards. It is Mitchell's answer to the call for better-built, cars stronger, more enduring than Light Sixes of the past. There are more than 100 important im provements. There is 50 more strength, 75 more endurance, 25 more economy, 20 more comfort. Those tremendous advances show how far the old-type Light Six fell below today's requirements. Who Was at Fault? The first Sixes built years ago were too heavy. The call went out for lighter Sixes, lower operating cost. Many makers met that call. A rivalry de veloped. Every maker tried to under-weigh all others. And they went too far. Later came a fierce price rivalry. Cars were skimped and shortened. Countless economies were practiced. The years, have shown that such things will not do. Extreme lightness involves weakness. Economies lessen endurance. Nowadays, when men buy cars to keep, such cars will not meet requirements. The fault lay with everyone buyers, en gineers and makers. It lay in the call for extreme lightness and for lower prices. And it lay in under-estimating wear and shock and strain. Mitchell Takes the Lead Mitchell pioneered the Six. And Mitchell Sixes, the world over, led their class. Two years ago Mitchell decided to lead in this Six revolution. This new model shows the result. It has taken two full years. It has re quired the best effort of scores of engineers, specialists and experts. It has cost $250,000 for new machinery and equipment. Its mak ing requires 135 inspectors, to analyze the steels, watch every detail and make the countless tests. But the result is by far the greatest car . ever shown in this type and class. Some Startling Facts There is not room here to describe the car. You must come and inspect it. But note these facts. Over 100 parts have been bettered. The average added strength is 50 per cent. The added endurance by actual -tests is 75 per cent Despite added weight the fuel and oil cost is cut 25 per cent. A great deal of extra cost goes into the body, into the finish, the up holstery, the top. Yet, with all these improvements, the price is below any comparable Six. That is due to the factory efficiency, for which the Mitchell plant is famous. The entire car motor, chassis and body is built in that plant, under scientific cost-reducing methods. Come now and see the; hundred ways in which this new-day car excels. $1475 f. o. b.'Factory 120-Inch Wheelbasc. 40 Horsepower Motor. Three-Passenger Roadster, same price.
