Moore Model "F"
t "
Built Like the, One-Hor se Shay
You remember the story about the old one-hone ihay that
wtt o well built that it lasted a lifetime and then when it finally
fell to piece each (tick of wood broke at the tame time.
The moral of this story has made a profound impression on
all builders of vehicles and some of them at least have tried to
build a product so sturdy that their reputation would he built -upon
their lasting qualities.
-- i Although the manufacturers of the Moore four-cylinder motor
car do not-claim that it will last a lifetime, they have made a con.
cientious effort to build a car which would be distinctive from the
angle of a good car, well-built and priced within reach of the mul
titude of motorists.
We invite your attention to the Moore Model F and would
welcome an opportunity to demonstrate this wonderful little car
to you. - '
THE WORLD'S BIGGEST LITTLE AUTOMOBILE
RIDES WELL LOOKS WELL

Good territory open for live dealers.
Your Uncle Samuel, the greatest
athlete in the world, has started ac
tive preparations for the seventh re
vival of the classic Olympic games
to be held at Antwerp, Belgium, dur
ing the spring and summer,
The seventh revival of the games
was originally scheduled for Berlin,
but gods of war or chance decided
that Berlin was no place for the
world's athletic classic.
But to get back to the subject-
Uncle Sam is the champion of
champions. Americans hold practi
cally everyjothletic record extant,
and in the recent interallied games
in France Uncle Sam's boys cleaned
up the boards once again just to re
mind our good allies ot the tact that
the United States is the big foster
father of all sports and that the
Yank is an athlete, first, last and all
the time. 'And at that the soldier
boys who cieaned up the interallied
games were not, in the strictest
sense, the pick of the talent that may
be found under the shadow of the
Stars and Stripes, though many of
them, of course, were trained ath
letes.
The American Olympic commit
tee, which recently held an impor
tant meeting here, has set its ma
chinery in motion at last and plans
are being worked out by the various
officials of national sport-controlling
bodies for country-wide tryouts and
the selection of America's very best
athletes fn every branch flf Olym
pic sport.
Have Won Them All.
The United States has -been a
competitor in the modern Olympics
since their inception in 1896. To date
there have been six Olympiads held
and America has won all of them.
In the six Olympiads the best ath
letes of the world have competed in
a total of lS events and out of this
grand total America has captured 92.
almost twice as many as all other
nations combined.
The former Olympiads, with the
date, the number of events and the
total events in each renewal of the
games that have been won by the
Americans follow:

There are a few world's marks at
metric distances that are held ..by
European athletes. These events are
seldom competed in by Americans,
however, and Uncle Sam should fret
about metric marks.
Among the world's records that
are not held by the Yankees and
there are but few are the two to
10-mile running records hung up by
Alfred Shrubb, once great British
distance star, more than 15 years
ago.
George Goulding, the veteran
Canadian walker, and G. E. Larner,
English walker, hold several world's
equestrian records. Pat O'Connor's
broad jump mark of 24 feet, llfi
inches made in Dublin some 20
years ago, still stands, and the jave
lin record is held by Lemming, of
Sweden.
Uncle Sam not only leads th
world in track and field athletics,
but in yachting, cycling,' swimming,
rowing and billiards, all international
sports. And don't forget the seven
classes of boxing, from the class of
Jack Dempsey down. Americans
hold all but one ot these. .Little
Jimmy Wilde is welcome to and
deserving to his flyweight crown.
In eolf and oolo the British have
something of an edge on the rest of
the world just at present, an.d the
Canadian hockey players are gen-,
erally considered somewhat superior
to Americans. But your Uncle Sam
uel surely holds his share of cham
pionships, and he'll be grabbing
more before 1920 fades out unless
present indications go awry. f
Two Omaha Players Win
Popularity in Okmulgee
Billy Lee, outfielder, and Earl
Schatzman, pitcher for Pa Burke's
Omaha team, may not have won
any ball games in the Rourke train
ing camp thus far, but they have
won gobs of popularity, according
to advices from Petrolia Park at
Okmulgee.
Stutz Company of Omaha
Has Been Reorganized Here
Announcement was made last
week to the effect that Lute Morse
of Lincoln, Neb., had agreed to back
the Stutz in Omaha. '
The new company will be known
as the Morse-Stutz Motor Car com
pany, and will for the present be lo
cated in Blackstone garage No. 3, at
Thirty-sixth and Farnam street.
It is Mr. Morse s plan to render
such service that all Stutz owners
will be thoroughly satisfied. Through
this arrangement, combined with the
quality of Stutz cars, he believes
that his new organization will be
able to build up a very substantial
Stutz business within a short time.
Morse's present plan is to house
his new organization in larger quar
ters as soon as it is possible to rent
suitable location. Locations for
automobile sales rooms and service
departments are very scarce at the
present time.
Vincent Richards, Junior
Tennis Champ, 17 Years Old
Vincent Richards reached his 17th
birthday March 20. His career as a
tennis player has been brilliant. He
was national junior ' champion in
1917, national doubles champion in
1918, and a prominent contender in
1919 tourneys.
Girls Are Too Rough.
Girl basket ball players of Ches
aning, Mich., were accused of using
"rough-house" tactics in a fecent
game with Owoso high school.
Miss Virginia Miner, head coach
of the Owosso team, says one of
her players is sTJffering ' with :
broken rib and another is threat
ened with blood poisoning from :
bite. Both injuries, Miss Miner de
clares, were received in the inter
collegiate basket ball series, and
she is very indignant over the
"brutality" displayed by the Ches-
aning girls.
Joe Mulrennan, a Woburn (Mass.)
high -school pitcher, is performing
like a' top-notch heaver with Joe
linkers Columbus team.
The veteran Eddie Foster will
most likely hold down third base
for the Red Sox, in case Oscar Vitt
makes good his threat to quit the
team.

A few. years ago motoring was viewed more from the
angle of recreation. Then good weather was an essential
factor as in golf, tennis or picnicing. Today motoring
is a definite mode of travel as well as a means of recrea
tion. ,
Folks who care for comfort are now selecting the
sedan or coupe as an all year car. It has many advan
tages. .- . '
The all-aluminum body of the Westcott Sedan elimi
nates the last objection because there is no excess weight
Dr bulkiness.
We have a limited number of these models for im
mediate delivery.

Mandot to Try Again.
Joe Mandot, who gained some
fame in lightweight circles a few
years ago and retired after several
unsuccessful attempts to reach the
top of the ladder in his division, is
going to try a comeback. Joe plans
to try 'his luck in ; the : four-round
game on the Pacific coast. Mandot
was the means of bringing Benny
Leonard, the present lightweight
title holder, into the limelight. Leon
ard was practically unknown until
he rocked Mandot to sleep in 1915
in seven rounds. Leach Cross also
profited by a meeting with Mandot.
Leach had been showing poor form
when he got a match with the New
Orleans boy and scored a knockout
against him in the last round of a
bout in Mandot's home town.
WESTERN MAN
PLANS GRID
TOURNAMENT
Proposes Series Between
Sectional Champions to Be
Played on Pacific Coast
Christmas.
A foot ball enthusiast on the
coast is working on a plan which
would determine the foot ball cham
pionship of 1920.
It is a plan which is very likely
to meet favor with at least three
fourths of the colleges and with the
entire sport world besides.
This man, who requests his name
not be used at the present time,
would bring the champion teams of
east, middle west and south to the
coast next winter and together with
the Pacific coast champion stage a
tournament. Two games would be
played Christmas day among the
four teams and the two winners
wouldl meet for the championship
New Year's day.
This plan may not be favored by
the Western Conference, for there
is a rule against postseason games
among the schools of the midwest
which belong to this association.
But the south and the east would
very likely agree to such a proposi
tion. And perhaps a strong mid
western team, such as Notre Dame
proved to be this year, would vol
unteed to represent the middle west.
Center college might have a claim
to the midwestern title at the end
of the next season, for Center will
play strong teams of the south, east
and west and its geographical loca
tion is as near being midwest as
south.
One of the leading coaches of the
country has favored the proposi
tion. That man is Xen Scott, who
taught the Alabama warriors
enough foot ball to trample over the
best the south could produce. He
has a strong team returning next
fall and he is very much interested.
Harvard no doubt, would favor
ar TtTTIofl
the plan in event the Crimson won
the eastern title. Harvard has ft
harder schedule next year and if
undefeated probably could lay claim
to being the best team in the east
The sport fans certainly would
like to see the title bestowed on
some team. None has ever had a
business.
