HAS STANDARDIZED
ITS HUGE PRODUCT
Ford Motor Company Has Made One
Style Car Since the Fall
of 1908.

Now when the automobile world is
agog awaiting the 1913 announcements
Of the various manufacturers, the fact
that the biggest automobile builder of
them all long ago abandoned the yearly
announcement plan because its product
had become standardized. Is brought
home with renewed force to the trade
The Ford Motor Company has manu-
factured its one-style car, the famous
Model T, since the fall of 1905.
Just now, mixed with the smell of
gasoline and lubricating oil in the ga
RACES of the land. is an air OF conjecture.
1t Is one OF the nervous times OF the
year for the entire automobile world.
both with the prospective customer who
dares not buy for fear there will be
change in price or construction that will
leave him with an out of date car on his
hands. and with the salesman, though
he knows what his company intends to
do in the future. dares not to let the
cat out of the bag, and who is in
state OF partial collapse all the time for
fear his competitor is going to slip
something over on him"
But Ford owners and Ford statesmen
go serenely on their way. They have no
such yearly shifting of standardization TO
fear. They know that the Ford Motor
Company has not changed the model of
its car for four years and that the
Model will be built in much greater
quantities next year than in the year
past
OF course the Model T has been i'm
proved steadily since it was first placed
on the market. But these improvements
in minor detail are not made at any one
season of the year so that the altera-
tions in the car cannot be designed by
yearly date.
When the large corps of experts Of the
Ford factory discover some way to bene-
fit the car. the new appliance or what
ever it may be is given a thorough try

struction of the Model T. but the fact
that some slight Improvement has been
made is not heralded from one part of
the country to another. the new appli-

the Ford, and the purchaser is left to
discover the difference in his car and
the Ford Of four years ago for himself.
The policy of the Ford Motor Company
in sticking by a One-standard car in
stead Of changing its model with every
passing year has been most successful
one. as the leading position of this COM
pany among automobile manufacturers
will attest.
We would no more think Of changing
the model of our car each year than
We would think of changing our trade
mark" is the way Commercial Manager
n. a. Hawkins voices the Ford policy
The automobile buying public has
gained confidence in our Model T through
four years of satisfying manufacture.
They have learned that the Model T
stands for lightness. strength. and low
cost of upkeep in the car world. II
would be folly for US to build another
model even If We desired to. II would
cost much money and would take much
time 10 inspire the confidence in a new
model that the public now has in the
Model T.
Therefore. the Ford Motor Company, OF
Detroit. has no car announcement for
1913 to make 10 the trade.
That this confidence in the Ford Motor
Company's product is found in the auto
mobile buying public OF Washington is
quite forcefully brought 10 our notice
when We note the latest weeks sales

Automobile touring is becoming more
and more popular with the automobile
owner as each slason comes around.
encouraged by the active interest which
is being taken In road improvement.
Automobile touring has also been great
ly aided this season by the reliability Of
the various makes of automobiles and
the reasonable certainness which an au-
tomobile owner can have that his car
will take him ever a long journey and
bring him back again. The automobile
owner has also become more familiar
with the inner workings of his car and
Is in position as a usual rule to make
the ordinary repairs, instead of having
more than the original cost OF the ma
chine consumed by the repair bills along
the way.
The average automobile owner has
not made sufficient number of
tours in his machine to know by expert
ence Just what equipment and supplies
to take along with him for use in case
of small accident of adjustment. How
to prepare for a trip has probably pre-
vented many an owner from taking a
trip with his family to visit relatives or
friends in some distant place. He tells
his friends that he would like TO take
a trip. and they give various and sundry
advice as to what to take along OF so
great variety that it would be be-
wildering to any one but a mechanic who
might be able to sift out the necessary
things from the list
An auto enthusiast who has been en-
gagged in the automobile business for the
past ten years. and who is a thoroughly
experienced mechanical engineer, has
compiled a list of the necessities for a
long tour from actual experiences. Each
time he has made a tour he thought that
he had made ample preparations. only
to find that he has need of some little
supply which he had not taken with
him. He made a list of these articles.
The cost Of all of them is not expen-
sive. with the exception OF extra castings
and inner tubes which any automobile

Worlds Series Opens
In New York October 8
Biggest Crowd in History of Baseball Expected at
Opening Game Washington Fans Will Be
There as Guests of The Herald.

Nobody stands still in life. We either
advance or go backward. The fans en-
tered in The Herald's baseball contest
will either advance during the closing
week Of the first period. which is now
here, or they will find that lack of
energy is their own handicap. The diff
ference between a hustler and n shirker
Is that the former gets what he earns,
while the latter earns exactly what he
fails to get.
To-day is not going to be wasted by
the real live fans who want to see the
world series games Tomorrow will be
the same. and the candidates are going
to bend every effort toward making a
big success of the final week of this
period. The only point needing emphasis
is the necessity of turning in your sub
scriptions before next Tuesday. Septem-
ber II, in order tc secure the big votes.
After that date, all votes given on sub
scriptions will decrease almost one-half.
This means that one subscription now
is worth almost double what IL will be
worth after this period closes NOW
Is the time TO get every subscription
possible. and be sure they are turned
in to the Worlds Series Manager before
u o'clock next Tuesday night.
At present the least number OF votes
you can secure on a subscription is 500.
for six months paid in advance. The
most you can receive is 10000. for
two years subscription TO the Daily
and Sunday Herald, outside OF the city
of Washington. or 10000 for a two-years'
subscription TO The Sunday Herald only,
in the city. Five subscriptions for two
years each in the city will give you
5000 votes. This number would place
you ahead of almost every candidate in
any of the five districts as they stand
to-day.
Don't worry because some candidate
has larger number of votes. even II
you are afraid YOU can't pass that num-
ber. II isn't the candidate with the
largest number of votes that you must
pass in order to win a trip. 1t is merely
the fourth in your district. Keep up
your nerve and don't get discouraged
by danger that does not exist
The candidate who has the very high
est number of votes when the final count
Is registered will not win any better
trip or have any more or better accom-

the fourth place in his district.
The twenty winners will all be on an
exactly even footing during the trip.
What one gets. all will get. It's going
to be just a jolly party of good fellows
having the best kind of a time that a
true-blue fan can have.
So remember that you have four equal
chances of winning a trip and that you
don't have 10 worry because you feel
you cannot top the topmost. II you
just edge over the line you win just the
same and just as much.
But don't let this make you overcon-

goes to the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege.

to have at least thirty-five men out be-

than likely play quarterback this year.
as this was Westerns weak spot last
season.
Coach Morse will take the team in
charge from the start. and the Red and
White aggregation promises to be a
team which will be hard to beat on
the gridiron this season.
Charley DonneIly, who gave Eastern
such a fast little eleven year before
last. has been asked to again take charge
of the team. and may coach the Light
Blue and White eleven. Capt. Cohill
will have the candidates for the team
out the latter part Of next week. when
a thorough wedding out will start. 1t
Is planned to have two teams at East
ern this season, for the first time, and
in this way give the regulars little
more practice than in the past.
Big Dolemen. the lad who made good
in the Teck backfeld last fall only to
be barred by funks, will be on hand
bright and early when the Blacksmiths
hold their initial practice. Doggie says
he will make the team again, and VIII

O'CONNOR'S STARS
ARE BEATEN BY
GRAY'S GRABBERS
Fury's Double Followed by Norris
Single, Gives Pepco Winning
Tally in Final Inning.
FINAL COUNT Is THREE TO TWO

Gray's Grabbers. better known as the
Pepco Club, hung it on Heinie Schultz
and the combination OF stars yesterday
at Independence League Park, the Dis
trict champions winning the ball game
in the final session. 3 to 2
Schultz had the majority of the Grab
bers looking like Marquette Leaguers,
but In the eighth frame, Tug Fury dump
ed the ball over the left field fence for
a two sacker and Country Morris slam
med to right for a single, Tug Crossing
the pan with the winning run.
couple of errors gave Pepco two
runs. while one of the Stars tallies was
a gift OF Dick Robertson, but the game
was corker from every standpoint, and
when the same sclubs meet tomorrow
afternoon, a battle royal should be
staged
The former sandIotters showed that
they have been playing in a real field
where the fence does not touch the
third base line and where the ground is
little even, as Handiboe allowed two
balls to go through him that would have
been easy picking on a good field, and
Curley Brown missed a couple of fouls
which would have dropped in his hip
pocket If the fence had not been on the
foul line.
Good Crowd on Hand.
A good crowd turned out to witness the
struggle. and it can be said that a larger
crowd will be on hand tomorrow. as
either Dick Robertson or Dutch Sterzer
will work for the Stars with Phil Buscher
or Len StenIey twirling for Pepco.
Heinie Schultz was recommended TO
Manager Griffith by Scout Bob Doyle, of
local ha ht-t he
Savannah club was too high. and he was
passed up. Heinie did not work any too
hard yesterday, as he had not worked
out this week, but at t!at he had a lot
of stuff on the ball. The Pepco club
deserves a lot of credit for winning the
ball game.
Robertson Shines.
Joe Geibel put up a nifty game behind
the bat for the Stars, as did Dutch
Munich for Pepco. who handled Dick Rob-
ertson and his splitter Dutch looked
pretty good. and Robertson pitched some
game. Dick allowed the Stars but three
hits and famed six His splitter was
breaking a mile, and the Stars could not
touch him.
Monk Walter held down right field in
rather neat style. taking care of his two
chances with ease and beating out an
infield tap. His slide home in the fourth
inning was a peach, Monk hitting the
dirt about a yard from the bag and
evading Munich with the ball.
To-morrow.s game should be hot from
the start, as the Stars are after the
Grabbers. and will leave no stone un-
turned To land the battle. Manager
O'Conror is arranging a series of games
for the Stars. and Capital fans will be
treated to some fast baseball for the next
few weeks at Independence League Park.
