June 22. (AP) For years a mainstay of the Chicago National League Cubs' pitching staff, rover Cleveland Alexander was today released via the waiver route to the St. Louis National League Cardinals, The decision to release Alexander, It was said at the Cubs' offices here, followed his infraction of the training rules, which caused Manager Joe McCarthy to suspend hira. The Cardinals secured Alexander at the waiver price ot $4000. "If St.

College Baseball Harvard, Yale, 7. IT WAS a great spectacle, that Annual Memorial Day race at the Indianapolis Speedway. Vast crowds watched those low, spedaUy-built cars roar around that great track, lap after lap, with throttle wide open and marveled that cars could keep going so long at such furious speed. The race lasted 400 miles. The winning car averaged a fraction better than 94 miles an hour.

That was fast traveling, to be sure, and real endurance These 3 great engineering factors throw an entirely new light cn present-day-performance standards Yet mobile without once stopping the motor! These and many other equally import-ant records held by Chandler and Cleveland clearly reveal the remarkable power and stamina these Sixes possess and prove better than anything else the kind of quality built into these cars. Chandler and Cleveland both have high-pressure motor lubrication and what's more, both have the great "One Shot" System of centralized4 chassis lubrication. For sheer beauty, rare comfort, big value and championship performance, all together, the new Chandler and the new Cleveland are simply, without rivals in their respective price classes. See these cars. Name your own tests Do your own testing.

We'll leave everything to your own judgment. JUST contrast the showing made by those specially-designed, specially-built, prcM fessionally-driven racing cars with the speed and endurance records held by Chandler and Cleveland Sixes. A Chandler roadster with top and windshield removed ran 1000 miles around the speedway at Culver City, in 689 minutes an average of 86.9 mijes an hour. Think of it! Not 400 miles, but 1000 miles! Not a racing car a CKandlerJ Two and a half times the distance of the Indianapolis Race, and only a difference of about 8 miles an hour in average speed. Another time at Culver City, a Cleveland Six maintained an average speed of better than 80 miles xan hour for 1000 miles covering the distance in 745 minutes the fastest 1000 miles ever run by an auto- This big, sturdy Six will actually out-pull, out-run and out-perform anything else of its size, or weight, or price-class.

It is a car of exceptional comfort The big, broad door openings are 32M inches wide. You can get in, or out with the utmost ease. The beautiful lines of the Overland Six are universally commented upon by its owners. Nothing has been spared to make this car a positive comfort-revela-. tion.

In fairness to yourself, see the Overland Six before buying any car today. OVERLAND SIX SEDAN Here is a remarkable new-type of car, different in performance, comfort and ease of driving from anything you have ever. known before. It is a complete new departure in automobile engineering. The whole car is designed as an integral, harmonious unit.

All parts are co-related with each other. It is unit-engineered to meet modem performance standards. You can drive an Overland Six hour after hour at high speed with out wear on the engine. It was designed for an average road speed of 40 to 55 miles an hour. Its low gravity center gives you a feeling of security never before found in any car of this type.

Without side-sway or slipping or wandering the car fairly hugs the road. CHANDLER-CLEVELAND MOTORS CORPORATION CLEVELAND, OHIO CBiPllR-CfLIHI SfX The new WILLYS FtMANCB PLAN i 935 smaller monthl mi the lowest credit- sst ia tba industry. AUprkxtf. k. faebw.
