THAT'S DIXIE GAS!
_ Here's a gasoline that has "IT". 'There's a fascinating power appeal that stimulates, re-vitalizes and
makes your motor throb with a sense of road mastery
that you feel—and enjoy—at the throttle. ;s-
The quality—its. volatility, its flash firing and its
dynamic driving power are the results of "nth", degree refining by one of America's biggest and best
equipped -refineries.
DIXIE Gas is a strong habit-forming motor fuel
because of its dependable performance under all
kinds of driving conditions.
You've doubtless tried all the rest—now try
DIXIE—today! It costs no more, but what a whale
of a difference. ..

Saline Breaks Tie For        Wholesale Burglaries
Position In The Cellar!
Here   Friday  Night
Trimmed Brooklyn Sunday, Leaving* j. Numerous Places  "Entered But The
latter in Undisputed Possession,     j Reward Was Not Great.
Saline defeated Brooklyn Sunday
at Sand Lake by a score of 11 to 1.
The locals shook off the error jinx
and played an air-tight game, every
position being capably filled. Cappy
Gross played a stellar game at short
in the absence of Hugh Austin, who
was compelled to. sit on the side lines
on account of a sprained ankle.
Hoeft let Brooklyn down with just
four hits, two of which were scratches. The latter had an off day; playing into the error column with precise
regularity for a total of seven, which
generally would lose any game.
Hall, Brooklyn's twirler, pitched a,
fine brand of ball, but his support
was ragged, and Saline, as a result
of that and timely hitting, scored 11
runs.

Wholesale burglary was the order
here Friday night, when no-less than
four safes were more or less tampered with.
At the Parsons & Dodge garage
the safe was jimmied and about ?5G
taken. The one at the garage of Geo.
V. Cook & Son was a real job. A
barricade, was built of boxes piled in
front of the safe to obstruct the view
from the window and the strong box
door blown off. At this place there
was. no money, the firm haying deposited all funds late in the-=^fternobn;
however, Leo Westphal is out a nice
pocket set of small wrenches.
At the office of the Saline Mercantile Companv they found the safe unlocked, with nothing of value to
them within. The visitors knocked
the dial off the safe at the depot, but
they failed to open it. Being near
morning it is presumed the intruders
saw or heard nearby persons around
and escaped.
State Police, who were called and
on the scene within 40 minutes after
receiving word,, could find but little
evidence to work on. A finger-print
expert decided that the culprit had
worn gloves, or in some other way
obliterated all traces.
Herman Heininger, just back of
the Parsons & Dodge garage, was
awakened a little after 4:00 o'clock
and on going to a -window saw a man
going across the back yard, but not
suspecting anything out of the ordinary going on, gave no alarm.
It is strango that for such a wholesale job that the party was not seen
or heard by more than one.
j A large crowd assembled at the
; ball ground Friday evening to witness
the game between the regulars and
a nine composed of- old-timers. After
arrival of the official l-eporter, followed shortly by Dietiker's ambulance
and George Seeger, the water boy.
Who -was dressed as a clown, hostilities commenced. The first casualty was a broken windshield, suffered by someone who had parked a
car too close to the playing field.
The regulars had the first chance
to bat, and Hugh Austin, who was
forced to slide into second to avoid
being put out, injured an ankle, from
which • he is still suffering much.
A foul tip hurt a finger for Henry
Schroen, who was catching for the
old-timers, and he gave way to Carr,
who retired after a couple of innings
with a headache. Toby Towler succeeded him behind the bat and a foul
tip hit his mask so hard it drove it
into his face and cut a gash in his
left cheek, -which was liberally court-
plastered the next. day. From the
foregoing you may think we're trying
to give you an account of the second
battle of Bull Run—but we are not,
There were many bright spots, and
lots of fun. Monte Martin started
in the box for the oldsters and lasted
until along toward the close, when
Art Armbruster relieved him and his
brother, Walt, received his offerings.
The "evening -was rather cloudy,
which was more or less of a handicap
to stellar playing on either side. Albert HoefEt smashed out a two-bagger
at one stage of the game and -was
ticketed by the local cop on his
motorcycle for speeding when he had
reached second. In the course of
time, When opportunity presented itself, "Boots" Jedele, who was playing
left field, stumbled and fell, and was
promptly hustled into the ambulance
and accompanied by Veterinarian
Ward, was removed to the "hospital.''
As the- contest only went four innings, even if the regulars were ahead
at the close, it was called no contest.
And, inasmuch as the old-timers were
just hitting, their stride when the bell
rang, and no doubt would have scored
a dozen or so runs in another inning,
they claim the right to have another
chance to show up the regulars*"right,
which will be arranged as soon as
possible.
Keubler hurled for the youngsters
and George Austin caught. The battery recived snappy support—the
kind which, if carried into their regular "games, would mean many more
wins than they have been getting.
All in all it was a great time.

The tourist camp field argument is
still -waxing warm.    Keep it up, we
still have a chance, a big one, of securing a real' diamond in a good location, where one can go and'enjoy the
game without danger of getting hit
by foul balls or flying bats. *
