On the other hand, the drives of tho

His forceful smashes, which the wonder

tactics of the Harvard man were fully
as good and at times better than those of

The set was very quickly played -aa only

Ilia Only Reversal.
That Williams was playing the best
game of his career be.gan to dawn non
the gallery when he ran the second set
up to three games to love, through Mc
Loughlln's errors. Then came his only
reversal In the match, and his neta and
outs gave MeLoughlln a chance to tie the
score at 8-aIl. The next six games alter

MeLoughlln was forced Into making nets

found himself again. Then tho net be

not only won the championship service,
but made it two games to one a moment
later on his own. After that the games
alternated on the service until the fif

and gained a lead of 8 to 7 on William's
service.

In the sixteenth game, MeLoughlln, was
within two points of the set ant the pros
pect of a twenty-minute rest to regain
his fast ebbing strength when his three
nets and a placement by Williams again
tied tho score at eight games all. Then
the champion faded away.
The crowd saw tht shift of the tennis
crown from the auburn-haired Call
fornian to tho black pomptidoured l'hlla
delphian without the slightest demonstra
tion. The result seemed too amazing for
words, much less for entering, and the '
two players, still the closest of friends,
walked to the club house unaccompanied, j
MeLoughlln wore his characteristic
smile, while Williams seemed dazed with
his new honors. Williams Is 13 years old. I
1'ntll threo years ago he was absolutely
unknown on tennis courts. He acquired
his game in Switzerland and when he
appeared In the summer of 1!12, after a

Would You Buy a Battleship
to Cross a River?
Of course you wouldn't. No more should you buy
high priced, ponderous, power waiting motor car when
you con have a low priced, light, rugged, powerful
Saxon that will coat you next to nothing in upkeep
expense.
The enlightening performance of the small-motor,
light-weight cars at the Indianapolis races; the Saxon
200 mile non-stop economy test; the Saxon 3389 mile
ocean-to-ocean reliability run; the successful Im of
Saxons by 6000 owners have convinced the mo Ming
world that pulling around thousands of pounds of "super
cargo" weight is a prodigal waste of power, a big factor
in sending expense bills up.
The coming of the Saxon has put all the pleasures of
motoring within the reach of the man of limited income
the man who has been telling himself, "I can't afford
an automobile."
Halt a Cent a Mile
In a nation-wide Saxon 200
mile non-stop economy test, 100
Saaon cart, In various parts of
the country and under all kinds
of road conditions, averaged
34. S3 miles per gallon of gaso
line, while a few of them averaged
more than 47 mile per gallon.
Recently a Saxon car estab
lished a world's record for dure
billty and economy by traveling
from New York to San Francisco
over the Lincoln Highway, a
distance of 3389 mile In thirty
days. Over mountains and
across the Oreat American
Desert It kept its schedule and
averaged 30 miles to a gallon of
gasoline all the way cent a
mile for fuel.
Ths Car Yea Can Afford
For you who have said you
would buy a car when the price
came down that day is here.
The Saxon ia the first real auto
mobile to be sold at the price of
a horse and buggy. It is the best
two-passenger car in the world
at anywhere near the price.
The Saxon Is'not a cyclecar but
Is a standard automobile in every
way) with standard tread, 96"
wheel base, roomy body, wide,
comfortable seats and more leg
room than many of the big cars.
It has a four-cylinder water
cooled Continental motor with
sliding gear transmission; molded '
oval fenders, tapered bonnet and
streamline body. Iti wire wheels
cost nothing extra.
Coma in and im this car.
Ride in it. It will prova itsall.
