Salisbury Heaves Tight Game
While Breen Occupies
Second Sack.
For the first time since coming to
the home grounds, the Red Men were
able to win two in succession from
a visiting club, when J. L. Salisbury
hurled them to a 6 to 2 victory over
the Oilers, Thursday. The Indiana
played with the determination of
flag winners, and it looked like this
patched-up club of Breen s may fight
for the pennant after all.
Salisbury pitched a tight game all
the way through, keeping the Tut-
sans back, allowing only scattered
hits, and letting them score in Just
one frame. Richmond, on the mound
for the Oilmon, wasn't exactly lib-
eral with his hits, but his support in
the field was slow.
Oklahoma City won the game in
the fifth inning, after Tulsa had tied
the count in the fourth with two
markers. Salisbury and Wrignt
walked, and Salisbury scored when
Harper smashed out a one-base hit
to center.
In the seventh and the eighth, the
remainder of the Red Men counts
were scored, aided by some indif-
ferent fielding of the Tulsans.
Dick Breen occuplol second, wli'le
Ralph Heatly went in for Runser at
shortstop. Love was scheduled to
hold the mound position in the final
scrap with Tulsa. Friday. On Satur-
day, the Red Men arc to face Wichita
on the league leader's home groundo,
for the last series of the season.

CONSIDERED BV MASy MOTORISTS THE BEST FABRIC TIRE ON THE AMEQICAN MARKET
* WRAPPED TREAD, SINGLE CURE
To those of you, 0 Motorist,, who are wi e in the may, of tire making, one look at
the wrapped tread, .ingle-cure, hand-built "Savage" "D" Type hrc i proof of the int.nt.on
behind my people in "their building. To the «ee,ng eye just a glance unll hou> that th.
methods used by my people in making this big, aristocratic-look.ng tire have been adopted
' until the quality of the product in mmd, not the cost of manufacture -for much greater is
the cost to build tires the "Savage" Way.
O Users of Tires, hou> often have your hearts been filled luith rage and grief because
of the buckling and pinching of fabric in your tires? These great foes of your pleasure have
been largely eliminated by out wrapped tread method of making tires—the most expensive
method known, and, besides, a tougher tread can be applied by this method than any other
we know of.
Great is your wrath eohen over-curing, baking or the mechanical defects so common m
two-cure and moulded tires cause a delay in your journey. Our big "D" Type unll bring a
song of joy to your lips because our single-cure process of vulcanizing allows the heat of liwjr
steam to come in contact with the tire, curing it evenly and thoroughly, preserving the full
life and elasticity o| the rubber, and eliminating these great enemies of peaceful travel.
In the mighty effort of my people to make our "D" Type the best fabric tirt on the
market, quality only is in their thoughts, cost of manufacture has not been considered.
I ?ALUTE YOU. O MOTORISTS! LITTLE HE/yP HAS SPOKEN.
