TIRE PERFORMANCE
RECORDS SHOWN IN BOOKS

Letting tire retailers tell motorists
what certain make of tire does in
the way of giving satisfaction and
riileage is a new plan of trade pro-
action instituted by Diamond Tires,
.kron, Ohio.
The Diamond factory has compiled
unique book of letters in which Dia-
mond retailers tell what Diamond
tires did in the way of big sales and
few adjustments.
The book at the same time is an ex-
preston from the retailers of their
reasons for carrying the same line in
1915 as that they made such a sue
cess of in the previous year.
The expressions from the retailers
run all the way from records of 5000
and more miles from Diamonds they
used personally, to records OF their
sales and adjustments.
One man says he sold 1900 castings
and had only half a dozen adjust
ments. And these tires were not
brought in on account Of being defec-
tive, but were bruised by sharp
stones" he writes.

CLEVELAND, O., March S..-While
a majority of big league managers are
figuring out ways and means of jim
mying their teams into first place or
thereabouts, Joe Birmingham, mana
ger of the Cleveland Indians, erst-
while Maps, is facing the problem OF
lifting his team out of last place in
the American League.
Birmingham has entered into the
pleasant, thoungh somewhat perplcX-
ing pastime. with the zest that always
marks the doings Of youthful mana
ger, and hopes to land his team in
at least the fifth berth.
He started his campaign this win
ter by eliminating from the team sew
eral players whose views on running
a ball club did not coincide with his
own. Ole Olson, utility infelder. was
sentenced to the Cincinnati Reds, Ma
poleon Laioie was sold to the Ath-
letics and Doc Johnson, first base
man, failed to find his name on the
team roster when the list was made
public.
The Indians will start the season
with only three veteran pitchers, un-
less another is obtained by trade or
purchase before the middle of April.
Willie Mitchell, a southpaw, and
Fred Blanding and Bill Steen, right
handlers. are the vets.
Guy Morton, obtained from the Wa
terbury club last season, and who
bears the earmark of future great,
appears to be the pick of the younger
pitchers. Sam Jones, a member of the
Cleveland association club last sea-
son; Coumbe, Walker, Bowman and
Harstadt are the other pitchers.
