from factory to smoker at prices clos

BY delivering cigars direct from

their cigar prices four profits that
ordinarily go to middlemen and job

smoker in the form of lower prices
on equal cigars or in better values
for the same price.
BY producing enormous quantities,
eliminating the jobber's profits and
selling direct, with little expense for

Great Baseball General
Says Difficulties of the
Position Haze Increased.
"Tw For Every Ball,
No Matter HOqO Bad
the T'hv0qO."
BY FRANK CHANCE.

Captain-manager and first baseman Of the
Chicago Nationals
First base Is a position that is re-
quiring more brain work right along,
and it has increased manifold in diff
Guilty in the last ten years.
More qualifications are required of a
first baseman today than formerly, and
head work is considered among the
first. Besides this, a first baseman
must bat hard and run the bases well.
He must understand how to advance
a man on base and play team work
both with his bat and In the field;
hence the position is not the easy one
some persons who have never given the
matter any study imagine.
The main fault with young players is
that they do not give attention enough
to headwork. q
If they have good height and reach
and can play a good mechanical game
that is all they think is required of the
position. This is all wrong. Head
work and snap ON the part Of the first
baseman puts life into a team, and the
finished points which come only with
study and practice are the ones which
tell In the long run.
Avoid being only a mechanical play
err, and try to make yourself an active,
hustling member of the team.
The first baseman is on one Of the
danger points Of the diamond.
Throws if u~nstopped at that point
are more likely to do serious damage
than those to any other place IN the
team. On throws from shortstop, third
baseman and pitcher there is no chance
to back him up, and if the ball gets
past the first baseman the runner is
sure of third If not of home.
On throws by the second baseman a
good catcher will prevent the runner

from getting around, but even here
miss Is likely to prove costly.
A first baseman is in q position to
save more errors for his team mates
than any other man on the team. New
err shirk a bad throw even though it
will not count as an error against you.
That is the wors. ddRS you can do. as
it will cause your fielGers to lose con-
fidence in you.
Even IL impossible to make an out.
try hard to stop the ball and save the
extra bases that will be gained If you
fail to do so.
A conscientious player who is out for
the good of his team even at the sacrI-
nee of himself is the one who will sue
coed.
Study your fellow players carefully
SO as to know their peculiarities and
be In a position to protect their weak
points,
Have a good understanding especial
ly with the catcher and pitcher.
An understanding with the other In
fielders Is of but little less Importance.
rs the first baseman must work with
them more than any other player on
the team.
In conclusion, play clean, hard ball.
Never give up, and play the hardest
you know how even If your team APP
pears hopelessly beaten.
There frequently comes a change In
luck when a game appears to have
been lost which ultimately leads to Vic
tory, and you cannot foresee when 1t
Is coming.

Charles B. hanford.

To be recognized as really great Shy lock is one of the highest ambitions of the actors heart This ambition has been realized, it is claimed, in the case of Charles E. Hanford. who brings his pro- ductlon of this masterpiece to the Jeff ferson on Saturday night, April 2l.
 Mir. Hanford has made, it is said. an especial study of the role of Shylock. He has the faculty of making every part he plays distinctly human. and he invests his impersonations with sympathetic interest which fascinates the senses and delights the intelligence. Miss Drofnah, whose previous portrayals of feminine characters from Shakespeare have de- lighted an ever-increasing coterie of ad- mirers, will be seen to advantage in the part of Portia. Special scenery and cos tunes have been provided for the Han ford season in thls play which includes an engag agement for one performance only in this city.
 'Ingomar' is announced as Mir. Han ford's play at the matinee performance.
