Lexington Six Car ;
' Arrives Here After
Long Drive in Mud
M. J. Wise, district ales manager of
the Lexlngton-Howrard company, manu
facturer of th Lexington automobile,
drove into Omaha yesterday In tho first
light six Lexington constructed. Th
car plowed It way through th mud from
Plnux City and arrived running a
smoothly as a atop watch.
The 1-exlnston people, when they d
cldeT tn market a light lx, sent th car
out from the factory on a test trfp to
see If It could stand the pace. It went
front the factory, Connersvllle, Ind., to
New York ' from New Tork to Chicago,
and from Chicago to Burlington, Cedar
Rapids. " Waterloo, Fort Dodge. Sioux
City, Minneapolis. Sioux Falls and
Omaha. From here M. Wise goea to
Kansas City.
An agency will be opened in Omaha and
Mr. Wise la making a contract now. . Tha
Identity of tho local representative will
probably be disclosed1 by advertisements
In a week and the first demonstrator will
arrive shortly afterward.
The test car baa traveled 8,610 mile up
to date and has averaged seventeen and
three-quarter miles on each gallon of
gaa. The motor Is equipped with tha
Moor multiple exhaust ay stem, thro cyl
inder exhauatlng alternately Into two
separate manifold and mufflers, thus
eliminating overlap, back pressure and
loss of power.
"Thl Federal league Is a go; they need
not worry oveY that," said Frank I
Chance, the man who led the one mighty
Chicago Cubs to four pennants and two
world' championships and the man who
Is now leading a party of motorists to
Los Angeles. The party consists only of
himself, Mrs. Chance and Mr. and Mrs.
W. 8. Duncan, all Callfornlan. They(
fixed on 7 o'clock thla morning as their
starting time, having been delayed In
Omaha two days while their machines
were shipped from Casey, la., the place
they got stuck In the gumbo. Chance
drives a Bens and Duncan a. Pierce.
Tho party expects to make Grand Island
today, put up there for the night and be
In Cheyenne Sunday. They will proceed
along the Lincoln Highway, cutting down
through Nevada from Salt Lak to Loa
Angeles, thus avoiding tho Sierras, at
least the high points.
"No, I'm making no base ball plans for
the future," said Cqance. "Really, I
feci Ilk quitting. I've had my share.
And yet it seems that when a fellow de
cides to quit It la not no easy. Truth la.
I've had two of the best offers of my j
life sine leaving New Tork and deter
mining to retire. But I am not consid
ering either on of then. It Is a mis
take that I had trouble with Charley Far
reU; the only rub I had was with one or
two of th club directors. Farrell and I
parted tha beat of friends. Why should
I hav stayed around there any longer
when tha team was on tha verge of
changing bands? I presume It la sold by
now. Of course, under th circumstances,
ther waa neither th money nor disposi
tion to buy playarf."
Chance find pleasure in the. good for
tune that has come to hla old alde-klcker.
Johnny Ever, and Just smile at th
crushing of the Athletics by the Braves.
Someone asked him It Miner Brown was
all in.
"No, he isn't.". h replied promptly
"Miner's arm ia still good; his chief
trouble ia a bad knee."
Tha Chance party was entertained at
evening dinner by Clarke Powel). after
he had had their mighty machlnea cleaned
of th Iowa gumbo ready for smooth Ne
braaka roada.
