The Right Car, the Right Price
And the Right Man to HandleH

We are my in a position where we can talk
with sound business men who wish to place
their aggrcssiveness, their ability, and their
capital behind the Hupmobile.
The price of a Hupmobile assures you a wide
field Of prospects. The good name Of a car
assures you that these prospects will be favor
ably predisposed toward the Fupmobile. IF
you are the kind Of man we are looking for, the
three elements combined assure you Of a sue
cessful connection which you will prize more
and more as time goes on.
Furthermore. with the HupmobiIe, you can
build up a motor car business on an unusually
sound and stable basis.
For Is years, Hupmobile has been noted as an
unusually good car. 1t has always been a re-
markably well built automobile car which
wasIooked upon BY men who know cars, as oneof
the wisest investments in the motor car market.
You can be very certain that this company
which has been making successful motor cars
for IS successful years, will continue year after
year, to follow the same policies which has cul-
minated today in placing the Hupmobile in a
position Of unique advantage.

believe, build up the kind of a business that a
man is proud to hand down to his son.

The Rising Tide
of Hup.nobiZe Sapers

Hupmobile has never tried to force success.
It's growth has been a substantial and a
natural growth.
HupmobiIe dealers have been encouraged in
none but the soundest business methods.
Their success has always rested upon a sound
foundation.
Success comes easier. and is more satisfactory when you
handle the Hupmobile. You do not have to be an
automobile dealer to obtain the Hupmobile franchise.
1t is far more important that you are fundamentally a
good business man who understands merchandising and
who has the capital or the bank credit to handle an
adequate sales and service organization.
IF you are such a man you can PROFESSIONALLY make
good money in selling Hupmobiles. HupmobiIe
dealers have demonstrated this to be a fact; let us tell
you the full story.
Write us today. We believe that you will have cause
to congratulate yourself, time after time in the future,
on having done so.

The Old Mechanic Says:

Whenever I look at that fellows
car over there in the corner | think
of old Doc Smith and the advice he
once gave me when | came to him
with the complaint that / was goin'
deaf. Doc says to me. Maybe it's
just little cold in your ear. Why
don't you rest up for day and
keep a hot water bottle on it when
you go to bed?' Sounded like quack
advice to me. but / took his advice
and it worked. 1 was Just maxim a
mountain out of molehill..
A lot of people do that with their
car troubles. That car over there's
supposed to have piston slap, but
I'll bet all ] own that If | was to
tear 1t down ! wouldn't find any
sort of noise In the valve gear that
sounds like slap. but I can't seem
to convince the owner that 1t pays
to take it easy and wait.
He's let his Imagination loose and
II he doesn't take it easy thisll
cost him n lot of money. One day
he got a notion that a valve had
broken. I happened to be off on n
town JON and when | got back here
was my man taliin' the head off the
engine on a wild goose chase. All
they found was everythin' in Al
order. | imagine a valve stuck for
n moment, but the owner wouldn't
wait until the trouble remedied
itself.
You can save lot of money on

to know what's what. but a good
rule to go by is to take things easy

DecisiUe Contests
SLOSS AND HARMONY
 TAKE DIVISION LEAD
Good Conduct Features Avondale Mills Game
 Fairfield, Acipco And Alabama Power Win

Several decisive games were played z Saturday in the fifth round of the city leagues schedule. In two divisions the leadership changed hands due to de- feats of the first team by the second. In the other two divisions the leaders retained their crowns.
 The Sloss By-Product team went into lead in the eastern division when it overthrow the East Birmingham combi- nation and won 13 to z. Neither team had been beaten up to Saturday but the East Birmingham team had won four straights while Sloss had been tied in s one contest. In Class B the Fairmont club checked the rush of the Central Park nine and won 16 to 6. This was Central Parks first defeat, while the Fairmont club has still an unspoiled record.
 In the central division both Acipco AY'' and Alabama Power company, tied for the lead, kept pace by winning their 4 games. Acipco down Yellow Cab , and 4, while Alabama Power defeated East Lake to 0. These two teams are tied at four won and one lost.
 Good Conduct At Game
 Another decisive contest, for more than one reason, was played in the east ern division. Avondale Park and Avon AGlile Mills were tied at 22 until the Parkers defeated the Millers Saturday, 5 and 1. But there is another angle to this game. Reports of rOdyism which had featured games on the Avondale 'ffAIills diamond for the first two games there had stirred city league managers ito action and at q special meeting the matter was thrashed out. Promise of good conduct at future games was made sby Avondale Mills authorities and when these, keen rivals met Saturday on the ] tAvonaale Mills diamond only sports nanship of the highest type featured the game, both on the field and from the sidelines.
 In the western division Fairfield con tinues to clean up all opponents. Red Top Cab toop the dip Saturday and was beated 19 to l. The Fairfield nine has as yet an unsettled record in their divi- sion of the league.
 SlOss Smears East Side
 The Sloss By-Product nine spoiled the clean record of the East Birmingham team by defeating it 13 to '. But in winning from the East Side combina- tion the Sloss team kept their own rec ord unsettled. The winners hammered East Birmingham's star pitcher, "Lefty" Williams, from the mound in the first inning and drove Rowe off the hill in the eighth. Sixteen hits were knocked out. Johnson and Waters were in the vanguard of the Sloss at tack. Each got triple and two singles out of five tries. Mandy led hitters for East Birmingham with a triple and single out of four trips to the plate. SIoss goes into lead in the Eastern di- vision with four wins and no losses.

TERRY SWINGS
 MEAN WALLET Substitute Giant First Stacker Cleans Up With
 Stick In National

The Giants have added another slug ger to their lineup during the past week in the person of Bill Terry, former American Association player. With Kelly on the sick list until Thursday, Terry has been playing first base. Regularly facing the pitchers the tall first sacker has elevated himself from an average of .091 to .303, which may be considered quite leap in any kind of baseball society.
 There are three others among the Giants who have been finding the ball pretty consistently, Snyder, Youngs and Frisch, but that about lets the champions out.
 Hornsby is slowly getting stronger with the stick, leading the nearest regu- lar by almost forty points. Wheat, who has been Rogers chief opponent for batting honors in the National League, has been unable to keep up the pace and has fallen below 400.
 Catcher Gooch of Pittsburg has gotten near the top, but he has only faced the pitchers half as many times as Wheat and others. Kelly still holds a commanding position with .39S, being tied with Wheat. Grigsby of Chicago tS nhV huo NOhiC' tO thC front, but Grimes, his team mate, has taken a big drop. Grantham of the same team has been holding his own.
 Fournier of Brooklyn has been the sensation in long distance swatting having accumulated eight home runs for the league lead, two of these coming in one day. The rest have been more or less quiet.
 There has been no speeding up on the bases so far as the leaders are con- cerned, Carey and Traynor and Gram than of Chicago being tied for the base stealing honors at nine apiece.
 Frisch of New York continues to be the run getter.
 New York has gained few points in team hitting with St. Louis not far behind. Chicago has also added few points, but Cincinnati has fallen next to last. Boston has gone to the top in fielding, Pittsburg having dropped from first to third place, with New York fifth.
 Alexander of Chicago has been the most eective pitcher with six won and one lost for total of 6{ innings. Vance of Brooklyn is tied in games.

Fairfield Swamps Red Top

The undefeated Fairfield team of the western division swamped the Red Top Cab nine by the score of 19 to 1. Eleven Fairfield men scored in the final frame. Bumgardner led all hit ters with a home run, two doubles and two singles out of six times up. liar while Rogers hit a double and triple cry was the stellar stick wielder for the losers. He hit a two-bagger and two singles out of four tries. Roberts got two safeties out of four trips up.
