Manacrr Mourns IVrrauM IUnm Orders Him to Quit "Kld ding" Opposition. Happy Ilopin. boos of tTia eonvkt ffartd Vernon Timers, believes hi club la from 39 to 59 per cent stronger than the on that Rave Portland such a bat tle for the pennant Iat Fall. Hap de clares all the clubs appear stronger, with the possible exception of Portland. "And It's mighty difficult to replace five men of major-league caliber." mured he after yesterday's mudfest at Kerreation Park. " 1 login's reasons for the Increased Tla-er strength are: First Substitutes In case of injuries or sickness. . Second Better pitching staff. Third Superior bavkMupptnir. Kourth Club Inta. t and Patterson and Ilosp more experienced In their respective position;. "I lost the pennant last Fall because of lack of substitutes." raid the Jovial Vernon manager. "Now I am well equipped to handle all emergencies. I have LJtschi. of the Connecticut League, for the Infield: Ravle or Johnny Kane for the extra outfield Job and plenty of hurlers. Three men comprise the back stop department. Brown, of last year's lub. and Agnew. of Omaha, and Sulli van, of Kansas City." Patterson made good in bis first sea son at the Initial tag last year and llogan believes that both he and Hosp, who was originally a pitcher with Vcr. nnn. will show great Improvement with their added experience. "I believe Ilosp to be the greatest shortstop in the Coast league today." exclaimed Happy, warming up. Kane and Sullivan were left at home because of Illness. ilogan opines that Los Angeles has been strengthened somewhat, but says that San Francisco will be the club he will have to bat to win the pennant. In less there is a relenting on the part of the "powers that be" Happy may drop that "Hojan" handle and go back to lils real name. Wallace Bray. "How can I be happy when the um pires have been Instructed to see that I keep my mouth shut?" he queried as he disappeared In the folds of an up holstered arm chair In the lobby of the Seward Hotel, where the team Is quartered. "I mean Just what I say. Jresidrnt Baum called me In on the arpet In "Frisco last week because I was kidding Berry and itedeon. and told me not to address one word to ward the opposition. Kerry's been playing ball longer than I have, too." allied Mo-la ruefutly. "I wish we didn't have to tolerate umpires. One was bad enough to have on your trail, but two of or." Hogan switched in Raleigh yester day after carefully perusing the Port land batting list and finding four suuthpaw batters thereon. He origin ally had Intended pitching Carson. 'The Beavers look weak to me against southpaws and 1 guess I'll let them hare the fork-hand heavers good and strong this week." said he. Kalelgh. Mitt. Gray and Castleton are his left handers. The Vernon boss doesn't believe In pitching his men in any set order. T work the men w ho are joins good anil as soon as on shows signs of a weakness he gets a layoff." is tire Cali fornia manager's logic. "I didn't pitch Haleigh at all last week, pn feriing to double back on Whalen and Castleton. s ho had pitched great ball In the open ing games of the week." "Dolly" Gray. ex-YVashinglon Ameri can twirler. who is back in the Coast I ..'ague, with Vernon this time, thinks W'.ilverton got the worst end of the trade of Inflelder Jak Knight for I "at -her Street. "It's a cinch he did if Street catches the same as last year." said he. Street's arm is going back on him fist. Griffith, at Washington, has a nuple of swell young receivers com ing up. so did well to get Knight for Srreet. Washington has started off e;i this year, but the Senators always do. In a few weeks you'll see them back In the rut. The pitchers are the jnr redeeming features." OLYMPIC BEXmT SALE BIG C I lib men Kspwt In .Make $1000 to Send Ielcj:atc. The advance sale of tickets for the big Multnomah Club Olympic benefit scheduled for tomorrow night indicates that the clubmen will raise over $1000 towards sending I'nlted States athletes to the Olympic games at Stockholm. Sweden, this Summer. The members of 'he club as well as boosters for a b:s delegation representing the United S'atca at the glgantio athletic carnival -.re working hard for the success of the affair and Chairman Bert Allen, of the benefit committee, predicts that it will be a hugetsuccess- The ISO who will appear on the pro gramme are working under the direc tion of Physical Director Krohn, of the club, in an effort to stage the various 'stuntj" without a hitch. Members of the boys' and girls' classes, as well as the women's and men's, will take part in the drills and gymnastic exercises. In addition several new features will be Introduced. Including statuary, tum bling and ring work. Multnomah Club track and field men w :ll engage in their last workout be fore the May U Olympic tryouts at Corvallis Saturday, T. Morris Dunne taking a squad of from eight to ten men for a dual meet with the Oregon Agricultural College athletes. The clubmen are confident of breaking even with the "Aggies." figuring on taking more than half of the first eents and a good share of the second and third place points. ' While the winged "M" track stars are tackling the "Aggies" at Corvallis. their baseball brethren will meet the Corvallis baseball squad on Multnomah Field In the biggest game of the early season. The clubmen defeated the "Aggies" at Corvallis two weeks ago and expect to repeat on their home lot. De Xeffe. the star twirler of Mult nomah Club, w ill work against the col legians. Multnomah men are evincing much intercut In the three-cornered track and field meet at Berkeley next week, with .Martin Hawkins, sensational Oregon hurdler, the center of attention. If Hawkins can duplicate hla performance of last Saturday against Multnomah Club, when he negotiated the 110-yard burdles in 15 1-5 seconds, undoubtedly he will represent Oregon and prob ably Multnomah Club at the Olympic games. While Hawkins had the benefit of a slight wind and only two watches caught his time, there is no doubt but what he equalled the world's record. Forrest Smlthson is really the greatest hurdler in the world, but his time of IS seconds was registered at 110 me ters, several inches farther than 110 yards, but in a different class. Walter Dray, the man whose vauKins robbe1 Sam Bcllah of a chance to break a world's mark at the Colum bia University games. Is a Yale grad uate. At the Pennsylvania games in 190 he established a world's outdoor record of 13 feet ":. Inches, which was beaten the following year by Lcland Scott, of Stanford University, who cleared the bar at 12 feet 10 T-S Inches. Dray's indoor mark Is 12 feet 5 - inches, made at Central Amateur Union track championships on April . 1S12. Oeorge Walker, the ex-Northwest amateur middleweight wrestling cham pion, defeated George McCarthy, mid dleweight, and Nick Daviscourt. heavy weight, both of Multnomah Club. In the Canadian chamrlonshlp meet Monday night. MrCartny beat Al Hatch, of Vancouver, but lost the tlu? to Walker, and then the Canadian light heavy turned around ami flopped Nick Davis court In the surprise .out of the even ing.

The entire personnel is not announced as yet. but It Is known that these five men are appointed to go: Mnjtln W. Hawkins, the worlds record-time high hurdler: Walter Mc Clure and Chester Hugglns. Oregon's record-breaking milers; William Nelll. who threw the JavellnlST feet In the Multnomah meet last Saturday, and James Johns. Hayward's speediest dash runner. The Oregon men do not expect to win the meet, as California and Stan ford, with larger team entries, are con ceded the bulge, but they hope to fin ish In a position near to the lead of the eight or nine colleges which have en tered the competition. If Ben Williams, the university pole vaulter. were In shape to make the trip It Is thought by his friends here that be would surely carry off the vaulting honors. However, the ankle Injured in the Columbia meet in Portland has not healed sufficiently to warrant his trip south, in view of the Important meet to be contested between the Oregon Agri cultural College and the University of Oregon at Kugene. May 10.

IN TO BE LET GO Northwestern Clubs Must Cut Teams to Sixteen. ORDER EFFECTIVE SOON Colt Carrying Little Surplus Ma terial Now One Outfielder and One Pllciier Will Iliive to Hunt New Positions. When Nick Williams' Northwestern Colts go through their paces next Mon day afternoon before Portland fans the squad will be only 16 men strong, fol lowing the rule adopted at the last meeting of the National Association limiting class B clubs to 16 men 20 days after the opening of the season. President Jones reports that the Northwestern teams average from 20 to 22 In strength, which means that tills week will witness a wave of wai ver applications, which will reduce the squads to their normal midseason numerical strength and send a number of the castoffs scurrying towards the Union Association and Canadian cir cuits. Mr. Jones has notified the club owners of the necessity of reducing the payrolls immediately. The Colt squad is carrying little sur plus material, and the lopping off of a couple of pitchers and ono outfielder or infielder to make way for Mundorff. who will Join the Nicks within a few days, will represent practically the only change. Mundorff t.ood Utility Warn. Mundorff Is a versatile player and Is good for either Infield or outlleld. Kib ble Is playing such a bang-up third that he is likely to remain a fixture at that corner of the Infield, while the combination of Williams, Coltrln and Mensor Is an excellent one. It is prob able that "Mundy" will be sent Into the gardens with Speas and Strait his most likely pals. A rush of business In the office of the president prevented Fielder Jones from making the trip to Spokane Sunday and he reports that he will be compelled to postpone the Journey until May 27, when the Indians are at home again. He has made every city In the circuit thus far with the exception of Spo kane. N Beea Surprise of Seaaoa. Victoria. Seattle and Spokane, In the order given, will be seen In Portland during the first three weeks of the Northwestern season. Victoria Is the big surprise of the season, with the Colts running the Bees a close second, which assures a splendid series for the opener. Seattle is the weakest team In the league, but Dugdale has already set about bolstering the weak spots and by the time Jack Barry invades Portland with his misnamed Giants, the squad will undoubtedly be a much stronger one. Spokane has practically held Its own on the home lot to date, which does not brand the Indians as superior to the other squads. With the wlndup of a three weeks' road trip in Portland, and the thoughts of that 1S11 Indian drubbing still lingering with the vets of both squads, the week promises to present seven nip and tuck bouts. Paul Strand probably leads all 1912 ball players in rapid-fire taboggaing. He was on the Boston American list before the season opened, then went to San Francisco for a trial, was shunted to Spokane, and now is one of the heavers for the Odessa.

Randall-Faichney Co BOSTON, MASS. if Automobiles What Factors Do You Consider When Selecting a Motor Car? TPS MIGHTY IMPORTANT this matter of selecting an automobile. Of course every buyer knows that. But not every one knows bow to go about it to determine just which car from among the many offered for his consideration, will meet his recrairements and afford him the satisfaction he so devoutly hopes for afterward. ARS YOU ONE OF THOSE who task about the horse power, the hill climbing ability, the riding qualities; look it over and approve of the general appearance, then ask the price and think you have covered the whole ground? XF YOU ARE, then you may be satisfied with your pur chase a few months hence. We say you mayif you are lucky. Otherwise you will realize all too late that the points mentioned, while important, are to be had in almost any automobile nowadays and are not after all, the most vital factors to consider. tF WE WERE ASKED to select from among all the cars on the market to-day, and they were all lined up in a row for our critical inspection we would be as much at sea as you are but that we know some things about automobiles and their manufacture and their career after they leave the factory that you, a layman, cannot possibly know. And we are anxious to give you the benefit of that knowledge. PUT AFTER SEEING THEM noting points of con trust and of agreement in design, finish, et cetera, we would ask some other questions and no very care fully the replies. LET US ADMIT before going any further, that we are prejudiced. Prejudiced in favor of the Studebaker product. Prejudiced in its favor because we know how it is made. Know more about its good points than you or any one else can possibly know because we know as you can't know, how sincerely we try to build the best automobiles possible to give Studebaker cus tomers the best value for the money. VTET) LOOK 'EM ALL OVER first. Naturally. And , correctly. The buyer owes it to himself to see all really reputable cars and compare them point for point. Com . pare points of contrast and features in which the - several cars agree. (Of course, we would exclude that is to say, ignore the experiments. The new and un " tried models. We would consider only cars backed by reputations of long standing, for, aside from your own judgment, based as it must be on a merely superficial and brief examination and demonstration, you really have nothing to depend upon but the reputation back of the car.) WE WOULD STUDY THE DESIGN see if it corre sponded with the best standard practice. Appearance would appeal to us, of course. One likes to own a car that looks more than he paid for it. Some look less you know and the majority look par at most. WE WOULD RIDE IN IT have a demonstration as they say. And, while we would watch the performance of the motor, transmission and the car generally, very closely during that ride, we would not attach to it more importance than it deserved. For any car especially tuned up for the occasion and in the hands of a re txjuroeful driver will do almost unheard-of stunts. That fools lots of otherwise astute prospects. PUT AFTER ALL THAT after considering the factors that any tyro would naturally take into account we would ask some other and more pointed questions. Questions that would stump eight out of every ten salesmen and perjure another tenth of them to answer . to our satisfaction. fcn WOULD ASK FIRST who made the car. Not who madethemotor.axlesandotherparts. Not who assembled them and put his name-plate on the finished product, but who actually made every part of the car from the saw materials to the completed car. And we would exclude from further consideration all "assembled" . automobile. ' THEN WE WOULD WANT TO KNOW just how many automobiles each manufacturer made per annum. For . the answer to tar question is the answer to that other is it built or is it manufactured?" If made in small 4 miantitiea say less than 5,000 per year theft hand work must of necessity enter largely into its making. - AtkJ we would not buy a hand-made automobile. Tho hand cannot approximate the accuracy of the machine. No two workmen do work of equal quality. A hand made machine means one mistake made to fit1 another for perfection is impossible by hand. feO WE WOULD EXCLUDE from our consideration those cars made, in small numbers; for the following reasons: First, cars made in quantities are better because methods are possible in quantity production that are impossible when maVfog small numbers. And second: we would know that parts of cars made in small quantities would not be absolutely interchangeable, whereas parts of machines made in immense quantities must be necessarily. tlOW WE HAVE REDUCED the cars we would consider to a very small number. (You see, we would select our automobile by the simple process of elimination.) HAVING ASCERTAINED these things, we woold proceed to the still more important points in the selection of our automobile. We would ask for a list of owners in our own town our own neighbors and acquaintances, and friends of our friends. And we would see them all personally. Ask about the car; how it performed on the different kinds of roads and in varying weather. Ask . about its power and dependability. And finally, we would inquire carefully as to the treatment accorded each customer by the manufacturer or his agent. SPEAKING OF AGENTS: (Dealer is the better tetmj We would go further and ask whether, back of the local dealer was a branch or merely a jobber. A jobber, you know handles a certain product this season. This season. Get that? Next season he may, and probably will be handling a competing car. It will be necessary or he will think so to "knock" the one he is selling now. And the easiest way to do that is to neglect it and its buyer. ONE CONCERN STUDEBAKERS to be exact have thirty-six branch houses located in as many important distributing centers all over this continent Canada as well as the U. S. (There we go again! Constantly reverting to ourselves. And when we are trying so hard to be impartial, tool) NOW WE HAVE ELIMINATED ALL but three or four cars from our further consideration. We are speaking now of cars in the price-class of Flanders "20" and E-M-F "30" which is to say, cars selling from $1600 down to $800. PRICE OF FLANDERS "20" IS $800 at the factory and of course there is no other car at a lower or even at that price that compares with this wonderful car at all. And though E-M-F "30" sells for only $1100 you will find it is damned by all dealers selling cars up to $1600. In other words it is their strongest competitor, just as Flanders "20" is the bde noir of dealers who have $900 and $1000 cars to sell and who have to argue that they are just as good as Flanders "20." THAT REMINDS US. Recently we heard of two in genious ways to make the rival dealer tell, between th lines as it were, which cars he really considered best. Here they are: ONE RESOURCEFUL BUYER made it a practice to watch, while he talked with the various dealers, and see which car they all knocked. He says the first car they attack is invariably the one that pushes them hardest in competition. He bought an E-M-F "30." (But, of course, that is aside from the story.) THE OTHER, A PSYCHOLOGIST adopted this plan He assumed that the car he was looking at was the best in the world to avoid argument with the salesman. Then Jie asked which car the salesman considered next best. HE BOUGHT A FLANDERS "20" now this isn't preju dice. It is fact. WELL,. WHAT HAVE WE LEFT after eliminating th cars that cannot measure up to the standards we have set standards which are the only safe one3 on which to base a purchase that involves as much money and means so much in pleasure, or the reverse, as does the selection of an automobile. WE HAVE STUDEBAKER CARS Flanders "20" and E-M-F "30" each in its own distinct class. And we have only these because because in addition to passing all the tests enumerated with 100 per cent to their credit, they possess that additional advantage which no other cars enjoy they are backed by the name and the reputa tion of Studebakers. . WE HOPE WE HAVE HELPED YOU to select the right car. The one that will give you the most for your money in the first place and the most service and satisfaction at the least cost afterwards. If you apply all the tests woJ have suggested your decision will be the same as ours Studebaker "20" or "30" according to your needs and your means. JUST A WORD ABOUT DELIVERIES. We receiv many letters from good friends in about this veins "Would order a Flanders "20" but competitors tell m you are so heavily oversold I may not get it till JnlyJ Tell me the real situation.' Here's our reply: WE WARNED YOU in our last ad that tardy buyers would undoubtedly be disappointed. We cannot alter that now. Tried to get ahead of orders in April but bad as the weather was we only managed to keep abreast Can't hope to do more in May. But that doesnt affect buyers who are alert to the condition. Only the tardy ones will get left. You can get a car if you hurry. See your local dealer to-day and he can most likely fix you up for an early delivery. And if you doubt his promise) just drop a line to us at the factory and we will tell yon whether he can positively guarantee you a car on the date he says. Nine times out of ten he is telling you the? truth that's the kind of dealers we have mostly. But don't delay. Studebaker Corporation, DETROIT MICH. L. H.
