A crowd estimated at five thousand
people lined South Main street and

afternoon to witness the “stunt-’ of

dragged behind a Big Six Studebaker
from Akard street to the square, at a
speed of approximately fifty miles per
hour. “Dare Devil" was tied securely
when the car started at Akard street,
in a straight jacket, and only through
consumate skill, was he enabled to ex-
tricate himself by the time the speed-
ing car had reached the square, in not
more than one minute. Protected by

GLADISH MOTOR CO., City. ‘:
Gentlemen:—After having been drag-
ged through the streets of Weatherford by
your Mr. Gladish in a Studebaker Big 6 at a
speed of 50 miles per hour, I wish to state
that this test is a real test for any automobile.
Your Studebaker pulled evenly and I could
feel it gaining speed every few feet. In my
travels around the country I always heard
the Studebaker very favorably spoken of
and now I know from first hand association
that the Studebaker is in every sense of the
word a Real Automobile.

GAMES AHEAD FOR THIS
WEEK—FRIDAY BIG DAY
The Antelopes now have four big
games ahead of them this week, one
for each of the remaining days. They
go to Granbury for games Wednesday
and again on Thursday. On Friday,
Granbury will be here, and it has al-
ready been arranged that Slick Moore
and Jimmy Jones will lock horns for
the pitchers battle. With good sup-
port on each side, this game will un-
doubtedly be a nerve wrecker. Jones
and Moore are two of the best hurlers
in this section of the state, and have
never been pitted against each other
the mound. The fur will fly Fri-
day and thats that.
Morton and Millsap will pitch in
Granbury Wednesday and Thursday,
against Press Walden and a pitcher
from Glen Rose. The two king pins
will do nothing but practice leisurely
jm. until the great battle.
On Saturday a strong Fort Worth
team will come over, and test out the
