The man who didn't advertise died
long ago, and he died regretting the
the fact that he didn't. He might
have died leaving Il competence to
his family: but he didn't. He might
have cut figure in the commercial
world but he didn't. He might have
lived without anxiety: but he didn't
He might have died without the un-
pleasant consciousness that his young
children would be left to struggle
for their subsistence; but he didn't.
In short he didn't; and that tells his
story.

sand for the doctor to find his boy. warns
him to call off the detectives and says for

PHILADELPHIA, April 13.-It was an

of the Boston American League Base Ball
Club, that the clubs terms had been ac-
cepted by George HUFF, athletic instructor
of the University Of Illinois, to act as man
ager Of the Boston Americans. The con-
tract Is for three years, but the terms have
not been made public.
This deal has been pending for some
time, but was not closed until word was
received from HUH last night by the Bos-
ton clubs president who is here with the

manager of the Boston club that negOtia-
tions were opened with Hun to assume the
management. and after Stahrs death Taylo,
made a hurried trip to Champaign, ILL.,.
where the university Is situated, and held
conference with HUI The latter was
willing to accept the position and satisfac-
tory terms were agreed upon. but owing to
some business relations with the Chicago
National League Club and the college HUFF
was unable to give a decided answer.
HUFF has been instructor at the Illinois
University -or several years, and during
the past few years has been acting as a
scout for the Chicago National League
club. In this time Hun discovered such
stars as Ruelbach, the Chicago pitching
star; Beebe, another pitcher now with St.

week. After the series with the Athletics

series with the Washingtons. and 1t is
likely that HUFF will report then, as the
faculty of the Illinois University meets on
