0YERLA1ID BOWLERS
TO STARTTHE YEAR
league Exclusively of Employe of
Willys-Overland Company it the
Biggest in the Country.
XLAY ON THEIR OWN ALLEYS
Th Overland Bowline; leajrue, which. i
aid to be the largest arnnluUon of Its
kind In the I'nltcd States, will celebrate
th opening of Its fifth season on Mon
day night, October 4, at the factory al
leys of the Willys-Overland company.
Elaborate preparation have been made to
five the automobile maker a big aend
off and the official anticipate a record
breaJUng attendance. The flflypieo
Overland concert band and the Overland
Glee club will be on hand to entertain
their fellow worker with murltj and eons;
The meraberohlp of the league is open
to employes of the WUlya-Oveiiand coin-
tmny only. Each department of the fac
tory is represented by a team oorapoaed
f the five beat bowler In the depart
ment. Sou of the departments have as
many as three teams. In addition to
these department teams there are fully
WO aottr members who use the alley
leerulartjr throughout the winter. As
the raaklnc men of the entire number
are chosen to represent the company in
tt state and national tournaments, com
petition for plaoes is exceedingly keen.
Last jrear the Overland team demon
strated its ability by oapturing the Ohio
state efaampiooshiSk Previous to that
time they bad met and defeated some of
the strongest bowling organisations in
the country.
Ie Overland alleys are conveniently
located right in the cantor of the big
Taetk) plant. They are open every night
from ;S0 to 7:10 for the general use of
factory employes. After T.M the alleys
are turned over to the department teams.
. When John N. Willy, president of the
WUlys-Ovr!and company, founded the
league he figured that turoe alleys would
be more than enough to accommodate the
bowling enthusiasts of the factory. How
ever, the sport proved so popular that he
decided to add two additional alleys to
the club and this season found it neces
sary to put In three more, making eight
ail toid.
Those who nave seen the bowling club
say that it is typical of Mr. Willys in
that he fitted It up with the best equip
ment money could buy. The automatic
machines for setting up pins and the per
fect lighting facilities are said to be the
last word In bowling circles.
During tournament play the club mem
bers assess themselves 10 cents for every
game they roll, and the aggregate sum Is
used for the prize list, which is bigger
than that ' of any other league in the
I'nIUd State. Aside from the tourna
ment gnnws the members are privileged
to use tbe alleys without expense.
)wttn Is but one of the branches ef
sport that flourishes at the Toledo plant
flsso bell, foot hell, banket ball and rifle
teams all havo their following among the
lt,0W employes of the company. Mr
Willys, himself, is an athletic enthusiast,
whleh probably accounts for the deep
Interest he take in the various factory
teams.
Interstate Makes
High Speed Record
In Illinois Town
Purtlng and stopping with the clutch
sealed In high (tear, climbing Mess
mores hill without breaking seal, and
running from half a mile an hour to
forty miles an hour under the same
conditions was accomplished by Mr J,
(K Huffman, agent for the Inter-State at
Kewannee, III.
Mr. Huffman started his exhibition of
"high speed" work at S:30 o'clock. Dr.
F. W. OodsalL W. A. Brown and Rob-
ert J. Hawthorne, prominent buolnee.i
men of Kewannee, witnessed the sealing
of tho transmission In high gear. During
the entire time MY. Huffman was making
his demonstration tho seal was not
broken.
One of the most severe tests made by
Mr. Huffman with his Inter-State was
on South Main street, between OaX and
Prospect, when he stopped his car half
way up the steep hill and then started
without breaking the seal which locked
the gears. Mr. Huffman made twenty
sewn starts on "high" with nlno men in
the car in the crowded downtown busi
ness districts.
In climbing -Messmore hill, the Inter
state carried its regular allotment of
five passengers, and gained the crest of
the hill at fifteen miles per hour from
a standing start at tho bottom. This
hill is one of the steepest In Illinois awl
has been a stumbling . block for many
motorists.
Mr. Huffman states that he knows of
only one other car which has pulled off
such a test and that was a high priced
car which performed In Chicago recently.

etilhings to Respect
m Hudsons
We have made the nev-type Hudson a car which
all men respect It has held for two years first
place among fine Sixes.
Now we are ready to claim the same supremacy
in fine body-building. And we submit as evidence
four luxurious closed models.
We are not content to excel in elegance alone.
In two of these models we have solved the problem
of a summer-and-winter car. One combines in
perfection a Touring Car and Sedan, and one a
Roadster and Coupe.
And we have brought the envied closed car the
height of motor car luxury down to prices which
will multiply its use.
You will expect in these models new standards
In closed cars you who know Hudson ways. But
the degree of advance will surprise you
You will find it in design and construction. You
will find it in finish, outer and inner. You will find it
in richness and elegance, in convenience and appoint
ments. Not in a few ways, but in scores of ways, these
cars will give you new conceptions of closed car luxury.
We are not urging buyers on closed cars tor they
will over-sell themselves. Our outout Is well sold
already. But we invite you to see them as new
evidence of Hudson leadership. Our dealers have
the models on show.
