BRESSLER BIG FACTOR
IN It MACK VICTORY
Former Harrisburger Had Yankees
Fanning the Air in a
Pitchers' Dual
"Rube" Bressler, the young south
paw, may not return to Harrisburg.
There is a reason. Yesterday he
helped the Athletics win. Bressler
wants to remain in fast company and
believes he will make good. Mack's
crowd defeated New York, in eleven
innings, score 7 to 6.
Since Bressler has shown his ability
to do something, other leagues are
likely to seek the services of the Har
risburg twirler. Here are a few things
the Philadelphia papers say about
Bressler and his sensational work yes
terday:
North American —"Standing out like
a palm tree in a desert was the pitch
ing of Rube Bressler, 2, late ol' the
Tri-State League. The youthful left
hander succeeded J. Weldon Wyikoff
during a shaky epoch in the fifth in
ning. Right off the bat, James Walsh
made a clean steal of home, but oth
erwise the Yanks never got in gun
range of the plate. They made only
two hits in the 0 2-3 innings that the.
ex-llarrisburg so ithsider performed."
Press—"In the early part of the
Indian TwO-Speed Models
1914 will be a two-speed year. While
other manufacturers are sweepingly ex
ploiting two-speeds as the very latest
advance in the art, it is well to remem
ber that the
zmdim Motocycle
two-speed is entering its fifth consecutive year of
service and has qualified for its name.
There are 15,000 Indian two-speed models on
the road more than all other multi - speed
motorcycles of other makes combined.
The Indian two-speed has won its popularity
and created the present insistent demand for this
feature because it has proved its superiority
under all road and touring conditions.
