AFTER LATE START RACE WARMS
UP—THOMAS AGAIN WINS
THE TITLE.
The season of 1912-11! among the local
girl basket-ball teams has practically
come to tin end, Inter play in most in-
stances being prevented by the approach
of examinations and commencements. The
season, following a rather late start, ban
been a very successful oue. and once more
the class of sport seen has beta high.
The Thomas School girls have gone
through (heir local season without a de-
feat. playing all who would give them
gomes. One game was lost. Southwestern
itatversify coming here early in the sea-
son and defeating Thouias by one foul
goal. Last week Thomas more than wiped
this out by defeating the Southwestern
team, 17 to 10.
When the seasoa started there were but
two teams in the field reftdy to play bas-
ket-ball l rom the lamp. These were Thom-
as ami the Urackonridge Independents.
The latter showed uo hesitancy in tack-
ling t^ie Champs, giving Thomas several
hard K-ime* Then several others entered
ihe field, although the season was draw
lag along. Thomas last week announced
that any term that had not had enough

had better get busy, for basket-ball would
have to be dropped soon. The Thomas
management made this announcement in
the anticipation of the popping up later
of several teams that wanted to get busy
just ns soon as Thomas got out of the
field for the year, issuing deadly chal-
lenges to Thomas. High School has an-
nounced already ii wanted a return game
with Thomas, and this was High's right,
as that team had made no effort to dodge
the issue since it sot going well.
The Champs, who have lost but three
games in seven years, started the present
reason with two players of the year be
fore In the line-up, the Misses (Jarst. But
the subs and several newcomers proved
good material. Hard work did the bal-
ance. In many respects this team is the
strongest Thomas has over had. This Is
especially true in attack, in which de-
part men! Thomas now has four sterling
won! throwers, whereas the best It ever
had before was two on auy one team.
Both High School and Thomas have
made repeated efforts to get games with
the various San Marcos teams, but with-
out result thus far. it had been hoped
that the team* up the line would follow
the example set by the boys' tenuis of that
classy sport town, but this resulted only
In disappointment.
The harmony between the local girl
teams this spr^njr has been an especially
fine point of the season, nnd an effort
will be made to retain' this condition.
That an earlier start will be made all
around nest fall is assured, and nn even
better season is promised when the ten ml
next assemble.
C ALIFORNIA CLUB IN LINE.
Western Organization Remains Loyal
to American Auto Association.
The Automobile Club of Southern Cali-
fornia, with muin headquarters in Los
Angeles, has refused to identify Itself
with a Western racing body which would
be antagonistic to the contest board of the
American Automobile Association. Reaf-
firming its long-continued and powerful
support of the American Automobile As-
sociation, the. Southern California Club at
its recent meeting also declined to recog-
nize the Western Automobile Association,
organised in Log Angeles under the plea
that the Pacific Coast did not have proper
representation in the contest affairs of the
parent body.
Chairman VVIUlarn Bchlmpf of the Amer-
ican Automobile Association contest hoard
visited Lou Angeles at the request of the
Automobile Club of Southern California to

MARSHALL HIGH AND WEST
TEXAS MUST PLAY IT OFF
IN BASEBALL.
As the result of Marshall's defeat of
West Texas in the clever game Thursday
afternoon, a triple tie exists at the top
of the race for the San Antonio school
baseball title. The other team figuring
with this pair is High School, Each of
this trio of teams now has won one and
.lost one in the series with each of the
oth< rs
The agreement reached Tor the settle-
ment was resultant in a drawing, by
which West Texas tackles High School
and the winner meets Marshall for the
championship. While this makes either
of the first pair play and win two
straight to get the decision, Marshall
will not have it so easy as might be ex-
pected from tills luck of the drawing.
It has more track work on its hands, and
some of Its baseball players have to
gjpend a large part of their time In
preparation for the State meet. This
offeetl High in a slight measure also,
but not nearly as much as It does Mar-
shall.
All three teams have shown Some great
work thus far, and the season has been
unusually interesting, it Is the first
time in years that as many as three have
come down to this stage In a tie. The
games throughout have been interesting,
and the climax promises to prove more
so before both the play-off games have
been filed away In the records.

M arion Cars Equipped With
Westinghouse Electric Self-Starter
THH MARION 48-A, the Marion de Luxe, is now equipped with Westinghouse electric self-starter, making it an elec-
trically-equipped car throughout—electric starter, dynamo electric lighting system for all lights, electric horn, and
120-hour auxiliary storage battery charged by the lighting dynamo. With complete equipment, $1850.
Marion models .36-A "Bobcat," 37-A touring, and 38-A fore-door roadster, 30-40-horsepower cars, $1425 to $1475,
• can be supplied with this electric self-starter, instead of gas starter, for $120 extra. This is at cost and is $50 less than
the prevailing prices for electric starters,
This self-starter may be seen in operation at our salesrooms. It embodies features which make it distinctly su-
perior to the average outfits. Such for example is a clutch which prevents the electric starting motor from being
driven too fast by the gas engine, or from being driven backwards.
The electric starter, or the Disco gas starter, which is supplied unless otherwise specified on the 30-40 H. P. cars,
increases the value of Marion motor cars to every owner, makes them still more available for the use of women, and
further establishes them as the most remarkable cars of the year selling at their prices. You will think a Marion costs
many hundreds of dollars more, from its appearance, si«, luxury, and completeness of equipment. Do not fail to see
these cars.

Marioo Equipment Is Complete
It includes self-starter, electric or gas, as listed
above; electric dynamo lighting: system; auxiliary
storage battery; Warner speedometer; Q. D. de-
mountable rims, one extra rim; mohair top, boot,
storm curtains: plate glass windshield; tire irons, tire
repair kit; tool kit, pump, jack; robe rail and foot

Less Weight—More Power
One horsepower for every 85 pounds of weight
is one of the guaranties of Marion satisfaction. Too
many cars are now overweight and underpowered.
The Marion is sturdy, staunch and strong, properly
balanced, light enough to be easy on tires, light and
powerful enough to be economical of fuel. This as-
sures efficiency, comfort and economy.
