THIS BELIEF USUALLY
HOLDS TRUE

THE manager OF a major league
ball club, in quest of a pennant, al
ways tries to figure out some way in
which he can win 30 ball games.
1t is a big league tradition that any
club able to put over that many VIC
tories must be regarded as a serious
pennant contender.
In the American league last season
the New York Yankees, with 81 VIC
tories, 63 defeats and percentage of
:591 finished in front.
The st. Louis Cardinals, with 80
wins and 65 reverses, showed the way
in the National league. The Cards,
who finished the season with a mark
of only .578, were good enough to win
the world series.
Thus precedent ran true to form in
the majors last season, since the
Yanks won the pennant with one vic
tory over the 80 mark while the Car
dinals were one game away.
Conditions in the majors this
year are much the same as last.
The Yankees are making run

the advance in many issues has led
market. However, the violence OF
to widespread warnings of caution on
the part of conservative commission
houses, which have advised profit-tak-
ing on the theory that the markets
technical position has been weaken
ed. Offerings, however, have been
unusually well absorbed due, in
part to active short covering on
every break.
At the close of the week, the av-
erage of 20 leading industrials was
about 25 points above the low OF
the year and the average of 20 lead
ing rails about 20 points above the
years low.

NEW PONTIACS
WIN THE PUBLIC

A deluge Of orders, the greatest in
the history OF the Oakland Motor
Car company, greeted the announce
ment and showing Of the new and
finer Pontiac skies by dealers
throughout the country and bids
auspiciously for another record break
ing sales year for this car which
broke all sales records for any new
make of car during its first full!
year.
The new line has not only struck
the public's fancy through its new
beauty Of lines and bodies and tire
completeness of the offering, now six
body types, but also through the
new lower prices announced.
According to W. r. Tracy, vice
president in charge of sales, the
response accorded the new and finer
Pontiac skies, as Indicated in the
sheats of kilograms and letters from
dealers, is the most enthusiastic ever
given any new cars. He said, Oak
land haS never experienced such
spontaneous public approval as is
now accorded the new Pontiac skies.
From every state orders are flowing
in from dealers wanting to double
and triple their regular allotment of
these cars. Orders on hand thus far
indicate that Pontiac's second year
in the market will by FAR eclipse
its first year record the most popu-
lar car of the line being The sedan

Like all the new cars in the Pont-
lac six line, it has the recessed
window ledges in contrasting colors,
narrowed windshield pillars to pro-
vide wider arc of visibility, deeper
radiator, larger, heavier. and more
sweeping crown tenders and more
massive headlamps.
The fitting BEAM headlights, which
are directed straight ahead or down
by a foot control, is proving one of
the most unique features on the car
and constant source of interest to
the thousands who are ,thronging the
Oakland VI ShoWroomS.
Besides the three cars mentioned,
a coupe, landau, sedan and de luxe
Landau sedan complete the Pontiac

LOOKS LIKE YANKS
ARE IN NOW

LOOKS LIKE YANkS
ARE IN NOW
One needs only to delve very lightly
into the standing of the clubs to ap-
preciate what q wide open race the
Yanks have made of the American
league derby.
With 80 games of the schedule COM
pleted, New York has captured Sd
battles and been vanquished only Is
times, giving the Yanks the high hat
percentage of .719.
All of which means the Yankees
could go into a terrible slump, play
only trifle better than 400 ball dur
ing the season and still finish with
as good mark as in 1926.
Figuring 80 games out of the way
leaves 65 more contests to complete
win 81 games, which was good enough
to win the pennant last year, New
York needs TO win only 27, while los
ing SO games.
Cold "figgers" make it look very
much like cinch for the Yankees.
If q club able to travel at a better
than 100 pace in the first 80 games
can't play 500 ball during the re-
mainder of the race, it really doesn't
deserve to win.
The Yankees arc much better
ball club this year than last, and
it would be no surprise if Huggin5
and Co. reached the 100 mark in
games won.
