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

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. Wash., semi
professional nine. From major to

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.
