Special to The Washington Herald.
Fort Worth. Tex, March 25.-It was
practice game, and Freeman practiced
a helder's choice. He was out OF practice
on that speciality. and showed it by
throwing the ball over McBride's head 10
the left field fence. letting In two runs
that made Fort Worth win from Wash
ington to-day by 20 J.
II was q colossal monumental heave
made by Freeman, and Il was on almost
exactly the same play that he lost the
game here last spring
Lavender batted for Sorrels and singled
of Walter Johnson Fillman popped out
to Blankenship. Maynard hit a medium
slow bounder 10 Freeman. who could
easily have retired Fillman by stepping
on the bag. but Jerry preferred TO make
the play al second, which has saved
many game. The shot 10 second went
a mile over McBride's head and landed
against the left field boards. where Can
ley was detained several seconds while
climbing under railing OF some sort out
there. Lavender and Maynard scored with
ease and the Fort Worth rooters were
supremely happy.
WaHhingtOn'S Only Scare.
Tannehin singled or Forester IN the
fifth inning. Mcbride was hit BY pitched
bali and Blankenship beat out a huke
hit IA front Of the plate. filing the bases
Street bat;ed for Burns and famed ely
mer sent a sacrifice fly to center that
scored TannehiI. GanIey was an easy
infeId out That Is how the runs were
made.
Burns pitched four innings for Wash
lngtOn and was unhittable Smith fol-
lowed with two similar innings. johnson
worked the last three rounds and was
touched UP for a safety in each. All three
twisters showed splendid form and kept
the Fort Worth batters so thoroughly in
hand that there was small chance for
brilliant fielding. and the game was al
most featureless until Freeman did his
strong-arm stunt.
Wsshington's batting lamps were not
well trimmed. and the record OF FIVE hits
OF Forester and Sorrels was not en-
thusing.
The Washington team left here tonight
for Wichita. where Il will arrive to-mor-
row morning. but Is not scheduled 10
play except on Saturday and sunday.

truthfully be said that no auto
mobile home in all California is more
beautiful, more complete and more
convenient to the public and company
alike. The foregoing Illustrations show

while the depth is 1853 feet, these di-

Another of the illustrations shows

it entirely, together with the noise and

LOWER TIRE EXPENSE
WITH LARGER TIRES
Last Longer, Less Expensive in Long
Run and Less Liable to Injury
from Overlooking and
High Speed

Although motoring is being done this
year with more extra equipment, such
as tops, windshields, etc, etc, than last
season, G. c. Calbetzor. the local Fire
stone manager, predicts a lower aver
age of tire expense per car than ever
before.
This saving says Mr.. Calbetzor,
lis principally because car owners are
learning the economy of selecting large
enough tires and taking the proper care
of them.
1.-The demand this year is for larger
tires, because motorists find them less
liable to injury from overlooking and
overspeeding. They last longer and are
much less expensive in the long run.
Special large sizes are becoming ex-
tremely popular. They are made with
regular sized bases and are interchange
able on the same rims with regular
sized tires, but they have one-size
large cross-section and one inch great
err total diameter. This gives them from
Al per cent to AZ per cent more air
capacity, tire for tire, and an average
of about rs per cent or so per cent
greater service life. The economy of
these tires can thus be seen at glance
another source of saving is the new
plan of branding the required air pres
sure on Firestone tires as a constant
reminder against underinaation and
consequent injury to the tires"

GOOD BOOSTER
HEAD OF GOODYEAR COMPANY
IS LOCAL VISITOR
SAYS LOS ANGELES WILL BE A
CITY OF A MILLION
incidentally He Talks Of His Home
Plant and the Newer Relations
with Pacific Coast
Dealers

F. A. Seiberling, president and gen.
eral manager of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber company, Akron, Ohio, has
been making a business trip to the Pa
cifc slope. While in Los Angeles he
made his headquarters with the w. ID.
Newerf Rubber company, Pacific coast
agents for the Goodyear company.
Mr.. Seiberling visited Los Angeles
three years ago, and is genuinely
impressed with the remarkable growth
of the city, and particularly with the
increase in the automobile industry,
and with the vast number of motor
cars in evidence here. He volunteered
the prediction that Los Angeles would
ultimately have at least a million in
habitants.
The Goodyear man made a careful
inspection of the new store of the New
erf Rubber company, and approved tho
plans accepted by Mr. Newerf for his
new store in San Francisco.
Il will say frankly said Mr.. Seiber-
ling, that my eyes have been opened
wide to the magnitude of the automo-
bile and tire industries in Los Angeles
and Southern California. AS a plain
matter of business, shall take especial
pains to cultivate close relations with
our people on the coast, and to give
this section everything it needs so far
as it lies within my power to do so. l
might also say-and / mean it, too
that 1 shall take the first opportunity
to bring my family out here, that they
may enjoy your wonderful climate and
ohter advantages. Southern California
is surely the ideal place to live.''
Mr.. Seiberling is an inventor as well
al a business man, having invented the
Goodyear universal quick detachable
rim, which is used on rs per cent of all
new automobiles manufactured in the
United States this year. AS an invent
or he was quick to see the value and
advantages of the Twitchell air gauge,
a Los Angeles invention, showing his
faith by placing an order with Mr..
Newerf for 1000 gauges.
"Our enlarged plant at Akron is now
practically completed" continued Mr..
Seiberling, land we are turning out
over 1000 tires day, though still be-
hind in filling orders. We make them
by machinery now. you know, and are
turning out a much better tire than
could be made by any of the old meth
DDS"
Mr.. Seiberling made a short stay in
San Francisco before returning to his
home in Akron, making his hearquar-
ters with Manager Leonard of the w.
D. Newerf Rubber company in that
city.
