BEST NUMBER OF PRACTICAL ADJ
VBRTISING.


Daily Newspapers Unite In Creating
Current Number of This Maga-
zine, Published by St. Elmo
Massengale, ~ Finest In
its Entire History.
That the April number Of Practical
Advertising. the monthly magazine
published by the Massengale Advertis-
ing Agency of Atlanta, has made a
real and genuine impression Is proved
by the many complimentary comments
which II has received at the hands of
the newspapers throughout Georgia
and the entire South. An extract or
two from the editorial comments in
The Atlanta Constitution and The At
lanta Journal are but representative of
the many f1attering notices received
from the press at large.
The Atlanta Constitution. reviewing
the April number, says. In part:
The April number of Practical Ad-
vertising.' the monthly magazine pub
lished by the Massengaie Advertising
Agency. and devoted to the advance
ment of advertising generally, is out.
This latest number Is easily the best
in the history OF this valuable publica-
tion, both in the editorial, news mat
ter and illustrations. A number OF
articles are from the pens of recogniz-
ed authorities. and among the most
successful advertisers In the country.
Among these Is one by s. C. Dobbs. of
Atlanta, which Is replete with original
and valuable suggestions to the ad
vertiser. Another from the pen of
St Elmo Massengale contains a vast
amount of practical and pertinent in
articles are profusedly illustrated in
black and white and in color; in fact,
the color work Is easily one of the
features of this number, which reflects
so much credit both to Atlanta and the
entire South"
Among the many appreciative COM
ments in rhe Atlanta Journal were the
following:
= THE April number of Practical Ad-
vertising.' just off the press of the
Massengale Advertising Agency, is the
best issue ever printed of this popu-
lar Southern magazine devoted to the
advertising interests. 1t Is not only
model of the typesetters' and printers
art, but contains number of inter-
esting articles by authorities on adver-
Using concerning the art and science
of practical publicity.
Mr.. 8. C. Dobbs. sales manager for
the Coca-Cola Company, contributes
an interesting and forceful argument
in favor OF outdoor advertising. There
is a reproduction of cover booklet

article on The Agency and the Pub

The really grave fault In the pres
argues George NJ. kstratton. the Johns
Hopkins University authority. Is not
that the signals are changed twice
daily, but that the alternate sets are
of Immensely different value. and the
worse signals are In force during the
very period Of greatest danger. Pro-
fessor Stratton will discuss tr detail.
In an article In the May Century on

gers of the color system Of signals,
with a suggestion for a change Of sys-
TEN. which. he believes. il so far su.
perior, psychologically. to the present
one. that its adoption would minimize
railroad disasters. His argument is:f
ITO take the responsibility for the
travellers safety away from tho color
faculty and entrust 1t to the space
sense, is, then, the plain dictate of
science. And this could oe accom-
plished simply by making at night the
vane of the semaphore luminous. As,
in our cities, lights are arranged In
lines and letters to catch the atten-
ton. so here the signal could become .
fiery arm pointing outward or down
or, II need be. midway between these
directions, at viii. Such line Of fro
would be strikingly different f.om the
usual lights Of buildings or OF streets.
It would also, both in quality and In
form. stand out entirely distinct from
all the colored lights whose use upon
the railway It may. In the end, seem
wise to continue for purposes rather
than the block signal. A continuous
line of light, moreover, would be visi-
BILE at a far greater distance than Is
the present single light. The glowing
signal lights would best be white. and
of course should not change in tint in
order to convey their message. This
would at once remove all need Of dis
cerning whether the line burned white
or green or red, with all the risk which
the distinction brings"

UPHOLD RULING
 OF JOHNSON In Which the American League President Fined Cleveland
 Club $500. SERIES TO BE NINE GAMES In Worlds Championship In stead of Seven-Detroit
 Gets Pennant.
SERIES To BE NINE GAMES

Chicago, Dec Exchanges in the league constitution, the awarding of the pennant to the Detroit club and an entire absence of trades marked the annual meeting of the American league of baseball clubs to-day. The meeting will end tomorrow.
 The meeting approved number of reports, including that of the direc- tors, who met earlier in the day and voted to uphold President Johnsons ruling in which he fined the Cleveland club s300 for using dilatory tactics in a game at Detroit on September 1S Later the Detroit management led a movement to revoke this penalty and the club owners voted to revoke the fine. This action led to the proposal of a new rule to abolish delays in games. It will be voted on at the next meeting of the league on January g.
 An important action was a vote ap- proving a suggestion that the series for the worlds championship each fall be heightened to nine games instead of seven. One vote was recorded against the suggestion, although by which club it was cast was not revealed.
 IA change in the league constitution designed to compel the teams to keep abreast of the schedules, was adopted. It provides that games postponed dur ing the first series shall be played off on the first day, or succeeding days, of the second series, and that games postponed in the second or third series shall be decided upon next day or days of the same series.
 President Johnsons annual report, which was approved, called attention to a proposal by the American asso- citation that club representing that league be placed in Chicago.
 This plan was disapproved by unani- nous vote and President Johnson was instructed to oppose 1t in the national committee.
 Every club In the city league was represented, the delegates including Charles A. Comiskey, Chicago; Frank S. Nevin, Detroit; Thomas c. Moves, Washington; R. l., Hedges, St. Louis; Ben F. shibe, Philadelphia; Frank J. Farrell, New York; John I. Taylor, Boston, and Charles Somers, Cleve- land. Tn addition, the secretaries and the managers of both clubs were in hotel Hobbies during the gathering. Heads of several minor league clubs and numerous players were also pres ent.
 Tomorrow the league will elect off, cers and directors and appoint com mittees to meet the schedule and rules committees of the National league. The rules committee of the American league will present to the joint body next month regulation relative to the selling of new balls Hitherto this practice has been confined to the pitchers, and it is said that 1t has re- suited in delays to the game.

variations of the defense which have been experimented with at consider able expense in the last year, but which have not yet become by any means cut-and-dried.
 Yale developed the theory of vary ing her defense and adjusting 1t to different portions of the field, and, while at mid-season 1t was viewed with some doubt and apprehension, the theory proved sound and justified itself in the big games
 To revert once more to a compari- son between chess and football, Las ker concluded his article with the statement: "The theory of chess teaches the principle of measuring the values of the pieces by their capacity for achievement, and that a player of infinite skill would obtain from his pieces a degree of useful activity in exact proportion to these capacities.
 This Is so well and thoroughly borne out in football as to tempt one to say that the limit of the possibilities of the game will never be reached. As we find an occasional star in running and kicking, brilliant man in lodging, a clever man in the forward pass or on- side kick, we endeavor to build cer- tain portion of the game about him, re- lying upon his especial characteristics for it's success. Having done this we mould the several plays in each of which there is it's element of superior ity Into completed whole which forms the general line of attack. Then, hav- ing done this. 1t Is necessary to test the plays to see that no one man is too greatly overworked, and that there Is enough variety in the points to be att tackled so that the opponents may not successfully guard simply one portion of their defenses. Finally, after all this is done, 1t is essential that the attack shall also be tested with a view to as- certaining whether the men who are necessary in this attack can also carry out the defensive end of the teams un- dertaking In other words, 1t Is quite possible to get one Or two star backs who might be exceptionally good on at tack, but whose defensive work is so inferior that the opponents, whenever they secured the ball would gain too consecutively to make 1t desirable to play these men.
 And last of all, it is essential to so arrange both attack and defense that when 1t becomes necessary to use sub stitutes the entire structure does not fall down like piled up pack of cards, bue bears some measure of resemblance to the original plan.

MIDDLET0WN HIGH VCTORS
WIN FROM N. H. H. QUINTET
Local High School Basketball Team Falls to Defeat by
 Score of 38 to IT.

The New Haven high school basket ball team met defeat at the hands of the fast Middletown high school ouin- tet yesterday afternoon by the score of SS to IT. The game during the first half was close, the local team striy- ing hard to overcome the handicap of having to play on floor upon which they had not played before. The score at the end of the first half was 16 to 9, in favor of the home team.
 In the second half the Middletown players steadily crept away from the visiting quintet, throwing goals from all kinds of positions and under all kinds of difficulties.
 Frankel put up the best game for New Haven, throwing three goals from the field and three fouls. He proved an obstacle to his opponent at every interval of the game, intercept ing passes and causing the Middletown team much trouble in their machine like offensive system. Geraci, the other New Haven forward, threw two goals from the field and one from foul. Dustin and Fraser each threw one from the field.
 On Saturday afternoon the Middle tow1 basketball team will play @ re- turn game with the New Haven high school quintet at the Y. M. c. A. in this city The contest will start at 3 o'clock. Although New Haven met defeat in the first contest they are still confident that they will be able to de- feat Middletowh in this city. They will be playing on their own floor and Middletown will be playing at dis advantage.
 Next weed Wednesday Manor school will play here, while the Saturday aft erwards Hartford will be the locals opponent After the Hartford game Dustin's five will start on their Christ mas trip in which they will meet Stamford, Winsted and New Britain in succession.
 The lineup of the New Haven team in yesterdays game follows For wards, Frankel and Geraci; center, Dustin; left guard, Fraser; right guard, Alderman and Connolly.
