crowds that has gathered at the local
BAN yard this season.
While the Sox were returned double
winners, they had the hardest sort of a

opening contest solitary tally, scored IN
the second inning. decided the issue. and
in the second engagement il required thir-
teen innings for the former champions TO
assert their superiority over Cantillon's
clan.
Big BIZ Burns, who promises TO estab-
liSh a new worlds mark for games lost
by one run, hooked up with Harry White
in the first encounter. and the hefty
HEAVIER was so thoroughly peeved at be-
ing beaten that when the second game
rolled around he asked Cantillon 10 let him

single. and an error gave Chicago three

Harry White was not as much OF a
puzzle 20 the locals yesterday as he was
in his games earlier In the season. but
he pitched a good game. Between White
and Burns ii was simply a toss up, al
though the former gets credit for the vic

Nick Altrock. who has been doing moth

Hurt Money Order Trade.

A merchant IN Massachusetts town
has taken some of the trade away
from the big stores by advertising
more literally in the local papers. Peo-
pie who formerly bought money orders
to send to the Philadelphia and New
York department stores now patronize
the home store. If the owners OF
small stores In other states will be as
enterprising in the way of advertising
as Is this merchant they Will not need
legislative enactments to enable them
to keep in business. OF course the big
stores have many advantages. but the
greatest advantage they have is the
possession of sufficient nerve to adver-
tise literally and sufficient hustle to
keep pace with their ads. A little hus-
tie and the liberal use of printers ink
In the country districts Will enable the
country and small town merchant TO
hold his own against all corners.
