Picking an all-star Texas League
im this early in the season is a deli-
te task. Many departments on the
itire league roster are particularly
■ong and maty have shown up so far
particularly weak. The particularly
■ong feature applies to center field
>h every club. Look over this list
middle gardeners and see the proof:
•kan Waco; Bittie Fort Worth;
ombs. Galveston; Brown. San An-
lio; J.eaeb Shreveport; Nixon Beau-
nt; Mattick Dallas and Menze
uston. The same applies to first base
ugh to a less degree. Hero is what
' “star-picker” is up against in
losing a premier first-sacker: Kraft
rt Worth; Leslie Waco; Schliebner
(las; Swacina Shreveport; Dunckel

Vecor Houston and Bradley Galves-

the goods but arc still off their

heels of this pair and if Swacina of
reveport wore not so slow on the

Other tabes being smaller in diameter than Michelins must be stretched
by inflation to fill the casing. The flexing of these stretched tubes under
constant tension when inflated causes destructive heating which kills all
the natural life and resiliency of the rubber making it porous and less
resistant to cuts and punctures.

Michelin Tubes being full-sized are free from these disadvantages. Insist

Honors here seems to be between O’Neil!
if Shreveport Tanner of Waco and
Martin of San Antonio. Martin is not
hitting up to the other two though his
fielding is as fast as that of either.
Tanner’s managerial worries are crop-
ping out in his play occasionally so
that O’Neill seems the man for the first
postion though he has not struck his
mid-season hitting stride. Ue is bat-
ting over the .3<X) mark however.
At thirds it looks to be Sammy Hale
without much opposition. Jewel Ens

ter fielder as he ranks second in the

bunts is shaky.
Another Close Decision.
Tn left. Sears of Fort Worth ami
Graham of Waco with Walker of Hous-
ton hitting rather light just on the
outside is the best selection. Roth
Graham and Sears have been pounding
the ball but Graham seems to be the
surer fielder and the quicker thinker
and gets position number one.
Uis all-around work and particularly
bis heavy hitting when hits are needed
gives Graham’s team-mate. Mokan. the
first center field nomination. Bittie of
Fort Worth is n great fielder and a
wonderful lead-off man and gets posi-
tion number two although he is pressed
close by Coombs of Galveston a reliable

batsman. Mattick of Dallas is not
hitting in old form this year ami Leach
of Shreveport is hitting light. Nixon of
Beaumont for his great fielding comes
in for consideration but his batting is
not what it has been. Brown of San
Antonio is a great fielder but is hit-
ting infrequently otherwise he\would
come into a position on cither the first
of second teams.
Hub Northen’s hitting streak and his
all-around value to the Bronchos ranks
him as the best right gardener in the
circuit. James of Waco is a valuable
man and Stcßbauer of Houston is a
heavy hitter and a good fielder but
neither have slammed the ball this sea-
son as is their wont. Massey of Shrevo-
port. is a great hitter but lie has trou-
ble fielding a sun-garden.
Gibson of the Bronchos gets first
place with the catchers because of his
general ability and value to the team
as well as bis mighty sticking. Bungling
of Shreveport gets position number two
with his long bat while White of Waco
another slugger and Myatt of Houston
the sensation of the season in catchers
are choices for the second team. Dowie
of Galveston Noyes of Houston and
Burch of San Antonio are good But
the others have the edge.
As to the pitchers how would a staff
composed of Sid Ross of San Antonio.
Roy Moore of Wacn. Johnny Verbout of
Shreveport Bill Whittaker of Fort
Worth and Harris the tall youngster
of the Houston staff strike you? There
are many others nf ability on a par with
these men but they have yet to show it.
Among the eligible* is Clyde Burfoot of
San Antonio but Clyde has been out all
season and unable to show his worth.
Others who could almost as easily be
made members of that staff are Napier
of Shreveport Couchman of Galveston.
Harper of San Antonio and Wachtel of
Fort Worth. There are still more who
have shown that Texas League pitching
this season is among the best but the
men named seem to carry off the palms
so far.
As to utility men Barney Burch of
San Antonio easily carries off the
honors. Most of the other (dubs in the
league have men who can play two or
three positions well but none have a
man who can play them all well like
Burch including the task of a pitcher.

The Wichita Truck is in use in more countries of the world today than any other Motor Track.
This statement though it may seem strong to some is in fact ably supported by proof. Such a
* remarkable advertisement of'a product’s worth certainly would be attacked if not supported by
proof and this one certainly has been the target for many an attempted contradiction but with-
out avail.
THE WICHITA is a “TEXAS-MADE TRUCK” manufactured at Wichita Falls Texas and
’ controlled by Texas capital. Located away from the congested district railroad conditions in
the Wichita Falls section are much the same as in normal times and for prospective buyers who
rely on railroad transportation to deliver their trucks the WICHITA has a decided advantage
over its competitors in the North and East.
The WICHITA that enters the service of a business is usually but the first of a fleet. This has
been the experience of dozens of big firms. They buy one WICHITA to try out other tracks
and within a few years the WICHITA is doing all of their hauling.
We can make immediate delivery.
