GOODYEAR TIRES AT
ANTE-BELLUM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. A. Sieberling, president
OF the Company, thus explains their
unique position.
I'VE advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs, when the rubber
panic came. Almost in a day crude
rubber rose in New York from 55 cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
THE New York supply was too
small to consider We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick of
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1,5O0,-
600 pounds of the finest rubber.
That big supply of rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. 1t constitutes the
best Of the London supply.
We are using the same grade OF
rubber and the same amount of 1t as
we always have used in these tires
We are running our factory with
three shifts of men, twenty-four hours
day. So long as we remain in this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply tire users at before-war prices
to the limit of our capacity"

NO EXCUSE FOR EARLY RISING
Man Who Gets Up at Dawn ls Stupid,
10 Assertion Made by Father
Dwight.

The arrogance OF the man who
arises to the minor heroism Of cold
bath has been complained OF by less
heroic folk who arise to a tepid or
warm one. To be set apart by the
ability to stand the shock OF cold wa.
ter has seemed to less vigorous folk
an unsubstantial claim to immortality
1t lacks moral sufficiency and is toe
much made of by the cold bather.
Another arrogance is given consid
Grafton by the Rev. Walter Dwight
S. j., In America. II is the arrogance
of early risers. Father Dwight denies
them heroism and enters into doubt
as to their intelligence. AS a rule he
finds them a notably arrogant set,
appearing to believe that they move
on a higher ethical plane"
Every normal human being, moi
given ordinarily to early rising, but
being on occasion tempted or forced
into II, has felt the strange spiritua
affiatus, the moral patting on the bach
in consequence, thereof. The feeling
that a good deed has been done fol
naughty world is inexplicable, bu
supreme.
Father Dwight is remOrseless. The
early riser is the least intelligent o.
mankind.

PRATT STOPS BIG RALLY
Brilliant Catch Of Line Drive BY

PRATT STOPS BIG RALLY
BY J. ED aRu1o.

Had 1t not been for a sensational one
handed catch Of a liner from Moellers
bat by Pratt in the eighth the chances
are the Nationals would have won a
game from the Browns yesterday in
which they seemed overwhelmingly de-
feated. With four runs scored and two
on the bases Moeller caught one OF
Mitchell's shoots squarely and sent 1t on
line toward right center. 1t looked
like genuine triple. but Pratt managed
to leap high into space and pulled the
sphere down with his gloved hand. re-
firing the side and putting an end to a
rally which promised much.
The Browns had little trouble gather
ing their eight runs. Things broke per-
fectly for them Errors paved the way
for majority of their tallies and while
Weilman was pitching the locals found 1t
no easy matter to reach the coveted goal.
But a change in pitchers in the eighth.
which brought Mitchell into the fray.
seemed to help matters from local
standpoint. though the rally which re-
suited was not quite far-reaching enough.
Both teams scored in the opening round.
Harper was a bit wild and walked Lavan
and Shotten, the first two men to face
him. Pratt got a scratch hit, filling the
bases and then Tillie Walker was ac-
commodating enough to hit into double
play, WHICH,, uOWSNSEs dHoWco 1osdh ~
score.
Moeller started the Nationals half with
hit, but was thrown out stealing. Fos-
ter walked and went to third on Mitch
ellis single. scoring when Gandil sent out
a long sacrifice fly.
There matters stood until the fourth,
when the Browns were presented with
four runs. With one out Leary singled.
and after Agnew had popped up Well
man was given life when McBride rum
bled. Lavan hit safely. Shotten was
walked and Pratt hit for base Then
the double steal was pulled. Harper hold
ing the ball, and the Browns had four
runs.
They scored one in the sixth. seventh
and eighth, and it was in the latter in
ming that the Nationals got busy. With
one down Mitchell singled. Gandil forced
him and Morgan was hit by pitched
ball Shanks was safe on Lavan's fun
BILE and Smith singled. Ainsmith followed
suit and so did Acosta, hitting for Bent

Pratt, ending the inning. Neither side

Doc Ayers, who last Monday won a
1-to-O game from New York, will do
| the pitching against the Browns today.
Ayers Is proving himself the most con-
sistent performer on Griffith's staff this
season. and with any sort Of support he
is very apt to give his team another
victory today.
The chances are that Walter johnson
will face the Browns in the final game
Friday. and 1t Is a pretty safe predic-
tion that he will not give a repetition of
his performance Of Monday in New York.
In that game Walter did not have con-
troll.
Which one of his pitchers Hickey will
use today could not be learned. but 1t
Is apt to be Baumgardner, a right-hand-
er of considerable ability.
to his home at Richmond, where his
injured knee will be put in a plaster
cast in the hope Of having 1t mended
in time for him to take part In some of
| the remaining games. It may be, how
ever. that Boehling will not pitch again
this season
The Boston Braves are now only two
their second defeat at the hands of the
Pirates yesterday. That Pittsburgh team
is going at a better pace right now than
1t has since early in the season. The
brilliant work of Stallings' pitchers is
| what is giving him q splendid chance
to land his team on top. James, Tyler
and Rudolph have done some remarkable
and consistent work. and II they can
continue the pace they may be rewarded
with pennant. What Is more, Stallings'
team has offensive power and run-Scoring
ability.
Since Harper Joined the Nationals he
has taken part in just about three or
his coming here his experience was
limited to pitching in amateur circles.
and 1t is therefore but reasonable to as
sumo that he is none too well versed In
what a pitcher ought to do when he gets
into a ball game.
Yesterday Harper demonstrated on
numerous occasions that he needs a lot
of instructions about backing up plays
and fielding his position. But Harper Is
intelligent and ambitious, and stands
due time. So far as his natural ability
is corcerned he Is well equipped.
Mike Mitchell continues to hit the ball
in a most impressive manner. Yester-
day he added four safe drives to his
string in Ave trips to the plate. In the
two games with st. Louis Mitchell has
hit safely six times in nine trips to the
plate, and in the last four games. two
with New York and two with st. Louis,
he has made ten safe hits in fifteen
times at bat This is a splendid showing
with the bat, and there need be no
speculation as to what will happen when
Milan returns to the lineup, Mitchell is
sure Of his present position. On what he
has shown to date he is by far the best
hitter Griffith has and cannot possibly
be spared from the lineup.
There have been two additions to the
Nationals pitching staff. Barron. the
eft-hander obtained from the West vlr-
ginia University team some time aso,
