A rotund sort of a chap, with red,rosy dimples and a pai r of hUl{e, cumbrous hands, was Berwyn's selection toguard t hi rd base i n t he absence of DaveTro st . A br ah am Stiles was the malefactor for t he Berwyn Club when his 'two snccessive errors in t he s ix th inning gave the league monarchs oppor-Itunity to score a t ai nt ed run.Kea rney was the first man up in t hes ix th and s lapped a slow grounder toS ti les in front of third base.

V er n ie F le ck , who had three of the fiveresident swipes , blasted the cowhideout toward the f ence i n r ight -f ie ld ,

Isending Kearney to rest beside thegrumbling Stile6 at third.

To p revent confusionamong motorists in buying t ires we emphasizet he f ac t that only thevery highest grade tiresof th-e very best makesare on a quality andservice basis that deserves to be comparedwith ALLSTATE.

ALLSTATES' nation-wide reputation as the greates ttire value your money can buy is at once the envy andthe despair of competing tire producers.manufacturing competitors advertise prices as low asthe famous ALLSTATE prices ... But in making thisprice comparison, they invariably quote on tires that areknown as "second-iine" brands ... and they neglect tomention that ALLSTATES are "fi rst line," built tos tandards of superiority which guarantee all that isexceptional in service and in tire satisfaction.
