Pointers for our Patrons.

The difference between poor
stock and first class stock on a job
is a small item when you consider
the value of the job. 1t, is the
price OF satisfied customer. 1t is
better to make so cents less on a
job and have customer who will
come back, than to use the flimsy
stock, make the extra so cents and
lose your customer. That is the
way we figure it.

possible for McGraw and his men 10
win the championship which has broken
up SO many nights of rest and cause
widespread mental suffering Throughout

10 win three straight games from

II they are not awarded the game unds-

games and still have Chicago lied for

the league II would then pe necessary
for them to play off a series OF three
games TO decide who is the champion.
II is also possible for the Board of Di-
rectors to rule that II will only be neces-
sary TO play off the tie, as neither of the
clubs has technically played out Its full
allotment of l54 games.
The Giants feel confident of being
able TO defeat Boston. but It is the de-
cision OF the Board OF Directors of the
league thai is worrying them. They had
rather win without being compelled 10
play off the tie, That is quite natural
They should not be compelled to put in
