John Fine, now alternating with

Simpson as Narberth's backstop, had

an enviable record as Haverford's

captain this season. He led th e fielderswith an average of .971, totaled 26hits, scored 7 runs a nd tot al ed 124put-outs.

Harry Simpson poled o ne i n T im 's

second game of the season, last Sat

score of 1-0.Inability to hit with men on bases

spelled Narberth 's defeat early in the

game. The t eam wor k of Dun & Co.was ver y good, and the same c an b e

Why Not Get the Best?

PIONEER AUTO OILS have not only beenthoroughly tested in a chemical and physicallaboratory, but receive a thoroughly practical testunder actual service conditions, by trained c h e m ~ists, physicists and engineers.

Light Pioneer Auto Oil contains only 1~ of 1per cent. free Carbon; Medium Pioneer Auto Oil,only 3 ~ of J per cent. free Carbon, and HeavyPioneer Auto Oil, only 4 4 100 of 1 per cent. offree Carbon. Hence, there is no loss of powerfrom carbon deposits in the cylinder.

All of these oils are manufactured under strictlyscientific conditions, and their tests (gravity, flashand f i r e ~ t e s t , viscosity and carbon tests) are JUST

RIGHT for the purpose of Auto Lubrication.They are suitable for any type of w a t e r ~ c o o l e d

internal combustion engines and any type of l u b r i ~eating system.

Special oils for a i r ~ c o o l e d cylinders, or for verylow temperatures.
