The big Herman will be eligible to play tomor row, but he viewed the game today from th grandstand. That the Seals will be reinforced by the acquisition of a big league pitcher this week was intimated by Manager Long.

"Our stingers are long and sharp ened and we are going to make them all go some; but our club must be 25 per cent stronger than any other in the league If we are to win the pennant-" Thus L. A. Wattalet, president of the Victoria baseball club, sizes up the 191J Northwestern League baseball sea son, and virtually concedes that the task of winning the bunting is almost hopeless from the Canuck standpoint. "The Bees have only 43 days at home In a schedule of 168 games, so you see that we must be much better than the other clubs if we figure in the race," explains Wattalet "We have a great catching staff, a squad of sluggers and cleanup men, and my pitching force looks better to me than that of either Spokane or Seattle, the only clubs we met before coming to Portland. Grass Inneld Aids Colts. "Portland will be handicapped by the road schedule, with only 70 games at home, but the Colts are fast, hit well, have a good pitching staff and should top the league by a good margin when they leave home In three weeks. The grass Infield is going to help them against the other clubs." Manager Nick Williams is not averse to going on record that the Colts will either "cop the flag" or come so near the coveted banner that the other club owners will have several attacks of heart failure before the season ends. "We met Vsncouver. Seattle and Ta coma and I can't see where any of those clubs have anything on us," says Nick. "True, they are not yet in the best of shape, but neither are we. and when all get In their stride you will find that we can keep up about the same clip on the road with a better percentage of victories at home." Pitchers Look Good. Nlrlc Is plessed over his pitching staff, but Is loath to part with the services of Pave Gregg, whom, he says, was merely left In Portland for a couple of weeks. Nick says Oregg waa not released, but was left here drawing salary. The Colt boss is not worrlng par ticularly over the prospective loss of Mumtorrr. although he has a hunch that "Mundy" will yet be with the squad, and figures Harris a good utility man until another good one ran be picked up. Mathcs was sold to Butte, of the I nlon Association, a week ago, while Thomas will probably be turned over to one of the Washing ton State League clubs for use the rest of the season. Nick likes the twlrler and will not release him uncondition ally. The following is the Victoria staff: Meek and Hasty, catchers: "Klddo" Wilson. Kaufman. McCreery, Narveson, Concannon and Jorstsd. pitchers; Nor- dyke. Keller, Rawllngs, Brennan and Merrltt. lnflelders; Stadllle. Clement- son. Adams and Kennedy, outfielders. In addition they have Frlene, an out fielder, who is In Victoria with a broken leg. One of the outfielders will be released this week In order to reaoh the IS-man mark, while another probably will go If Frlene geta in shape. The Colt squad consists of Harris and Moore, catchers: Eastley, Bloom field, Doty, Vcaxey. Thomaa, Stacfield. Tonneaon. Klein and Thomas, pitchers; u imams, atensor, Coltrin and Kibble, lnflelders; Fries. Strait and Speas. out fielders. Tonneson and Klein are the southpaw members of the heaving Drigaae. According to Danny Long, of the San Francisco Seals, Howard Mundorff has not been sold to Portland of the North western League, "Mundy" is still grac ing the Seal bench, waiting for an op portunity to break into the game. Long says the Portlanders were not willing to accede to certain agreements and negotiations were called off. It Is probable that Mundorff will be grabbed by one of the other Fielder Jones clubs, if Nick Williams does not land him. Kwmm mm iiyy cm Tire price do not determine tire valaea. But actual tire value is the only thing that can determine actual tire cost. First costs may be aUuring (and they will influence a certain number of buyers) but experienced motorists know that last costs are the real costs, and that it is far safer to buy the greatest possible tire value than to take advantage of the lowest pos sible first coot. The motorist who does not buy his tires on the service-cost basis is buying on the wrong basis and his tire bills are the best proof of it. Think that ever and get its faU meaning to the motorist who is interested only in last costs. Think what it means in actual mileage econ omy to hare four corps of expert tire builders each of which formerly made a tire easily the equal of any other smgle factory tire putting into United States Tires all the skill and all the experience and all the secret processes known to the four organizations. Nothing like it has ever before been attempted in tire making. United States Tires lay no claim to being the cheapest tires to buy. They are not Several other makes may claim this distinc- Possibly it will help you to get a more defi nite idea of the immense importance to you of this four-factory method if you ask your- ' self this question: United States Tires are Predominant by virtue of four-fold strength tion, but the manufacturers of United States Tires believe that a rapidly increas ing number of tire buyers will elect to pay a trifle more for tires made as only these tires are made rather than pay a trifle less for tires made by the single-factory, single-value method. It would be easily possible to build United States Tires by the customary method the method formerly employed (a year and a half ago), in building the individual brands of United States Tires. These individual brands made as well as it was possible to make them with but one factory's experience and facilities to draw upon easily competed in service-quality with any other tires in the world made in the same way. That was under the single-factory method of building the method still em ployed by the -manufacturers of every other tire made except United States Tires. Today United States Tires stand absolutely alone in the matter of combined skill in manufacturing. They combine in one tire the strongest features of four worid-famous brands, and are as near tire-perfect in strength, size and gen eral design as four immense factory organ izations, working as a unit, can make them. If four of the largest and best-known tire companies now manufacturing single handed should undertake to build a single brand of tire that would be the composite of all the best features and the most ad vanced methods known to these four com panies, would the product be of a better grade than would be possible to any one of the companies working alone? Most emphatically, YES! And would the motorist be warranted in pay ing a slightly higher price for such combined-skill tires than for the single-factory kind? Most emphatically, YES! To ask such questions is to answer them in the same breath. So long as four heads are better than one, four or ganizations of tire specialists, working together, can give the motorist a knger-lived, less-troublesome, more economical tire than any single organization can possibly give him. And it is this decreased mileage cost the distinct saving in the season's tire expense which it is possible to build into tires made as only United States Tires are made, that is the deter mining factor in arriving at actual tire cost. When the season's touring is over and the bills far tires and tire repairing are all paid it will be an easy matter for the users of United States Tires to understand why we are laying all our em phasis upon four-fold strength rather than upon attractive pricing. In buying four-factory-tested United States Tires you are pro tecting yourself against excessive end-of-the-season tire bills as only tires of four-fold strength can protect you.
