Who is the highest paid per
former in Sports? Many rate
Sugar Ray Robinson, ht:.n
Musial, Ted Williams, Johnny'
Longden or some other as top
man in the high pay bracket of
sport for 1952—but it will be
Ben Hogan, golfer. Besides

for ten years) and the United
States Open Golf champion

above $250,000.

the unusual position of look
ing up the standing at three
■other cldbs, took stock of his
New York Yankees predica
ment and put his finger on the
big trouble with the Bombers
no Jolting Joe DiMaggio. j
Casey said old Joe may be1
getting along in years but he
could still make ‘em look easy |
in the out field and with those \
runners on third, Joe could be,
depended on to hit that scor- ]
fly ball. !

CHRYSLER SARATOCA 6-PASSENGER SEDAN
ITS NEW KIND OF HORSEPOWER IS SOMETHING TO FEEL!
With its 180 HP V-8 engine, on 12514
inches of wheelbase, many people think
the Saratoga is the best Chrysler car
of all.
We invite you to take the wheel and
feel what happens! There’s a new sense
of easy power, of reserve power that make
driving a new experience.
Its revolutionary combustion chamber
develops more of the power in each charge
of fuel than other engines can do. One
result is performance, even on non-pre
OEgaa
mium fuel, such as you have never felt.
Another result is new economy. It’s an
engine that scarcely forms carbon at all.
It creates less heat. It will last much
longer, stay younger on the way!
And with Chrysler full-time Power
Steering*, you' steer with one-fifth the
usual effort . . . drive with five times the
usual control! With Power Brakes you
need up to two-thirds less foot pressure
. . . and still stop in many feet less than
other cars can do.
Yes, behind Chrysler’s new engine you’ll
find a new kind of car. Won’t you come
in and feel what we mean?
*NOTE: Power Steering standard on Crown Imperial.
Available, extra, on any new Chrysler.
