as against .2S7 for Bates and Grant.
Difference in Base Running.
In base running the difference Is even
more pronounced. Lobert, although he
took part ia only 80 games, ranked fourth
in base-stealing, being tied with Egan. Of
Cincinnati. for this position. each player

stole total of 80 bases. as against IS for
Grant and Bates.
The team percentage of the players
show that Lobert and Paskert stole an
average of two bases 10 one by the men
that Doom let go. For instance. Lobert
and Paskert played a total Of 81 games
and stole 81 bases. giving them an aver
age of two stolen bases each in every
FIVE games. Grant and Bates played in a
total Of 2SS and stole 90 bases. giving them
an average OF one stolen base each IN
every I'VE contests.
Thus, both In batting end base-running.
according 10 the work these four players
did during the season OF 1910, Doom got
the better of the trade.
Base-running alone, OF course. will not
win games. as Is shown by the fact that
Cincinnati this year led all the National
League clubs with 80 stolen sacks, as
against only 173 for Chicago. which won
the championship. and las for Pittsburg.

ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY WILLIAM C. FREEMAN

the firm using larger space. THE
BUSINESS BEGAN TO FEEL
THE IMPETUS Of THE AD-
VERTISING.
Then the firm did a remarkable
thing. 1t took on an adjoining
store-assumed cheerfully larg-
er burden before the first had
been disposed of-and started a
women's and misses tailoring
business.
Now. what course was adopted
to make both stores pay? THE
FIRM DECIDED TO DOU-
BILE IT'S ADVERTISING and
another newspaper, THE REC
ORD, was added to the list.
The North American and the
Record now share equally the
advertising appropriation, which
is in excess of Twenty Thousand
Dollars.
The business, in seven years,
has become a great success, with
the percentage spent in advertis-
ing DECREASING each year
and the volume of business grow
Notwithstanding again that
advertising is an infnitesimal part
of selling expense-demonstrat-
ing also that ADVERTISING
DECREASES the WHOLE
GENERAL SELLING EX-
PENSE of a business.
Mr.. Embick told me that his
total selling expense-the cost of
doing business, INCLUDING
ADVERTISING-is very much
less than it was five years ago,
and that this yea. il is less than
it was a year ago.
This is sure enough an AD-
VERTISING LESSON which
any firm not now advertising
can take to heart-that should
arouse a desire to make its bust
ness grow-that should inspire
it with courage to start.

ATHLETICS FOR 1911
Lefty Russell Included in
Notable Collection.

More good southpaws viii be seen to-
gether on the Athletics next season than
have ever been known on one team In
the history of baseball. There are four
of thsm-Piank. Krause. Russell. and At
lSins.
-Four southpaws
Shades Of Matt Kilroy and Tommy
Ramsey
There was time when the southpaws
We're as scarce as great tenors. OF right
handlers there was a host of great ones,
but the left-hander with speed. curves.
and control came so rarely that the fame
Of the occasional successful ones passed
from generation TO generation.
Manager Mack has always had a great
lpartiality for the left-hand finger.
He had one on his original staff when
he first went 10 Philadelphia. Plat, and
IN his ten years here he has never lacked
at least one southpaw.
/ Plank came TO the team In 1901, fresh
/ from Gettysburg College, and has un-
ldoubtedly given longer and better service
than any southpaw In the history OF thu
game, barring possibly Breitenstein who,
after an extended big-league career, is
still a star twirler In New Orleans. IN the
Southern League.
Plank was taught the crossfre by
Chick Fraser, then with the Athletics.
and also picked up some good points from
Matt Kilroy.
Plank undoubtedly is the steadiest left
handler in the history of the game. 1t
has been the experience OF most OF the
southpaws 10 be much given to wildness,
but Eddie has no trouble In getting the
ball over the plate.
II was the combination OF Plank and
| Waddell that won the pennant of 1902.
The spectacular career Of the Rube
will always be remembered in Philadel-
phia baseball circles.
Baseball judges agree that he will al
ways be remembered as one OF the great
est twirlers baseball has ever produced.
His personal ecoentricities added to his
fame. With Shreck to handle his blind
ing speed there was a combination 10
stop the best OF them.
The Reuben helped in the first half OF
the pennant-winning season OF 1905. but
| slumped mysterlously IN the closing
stages and couldn't pitch at all Plank
saved that tag by his superb work in
the closing months
Krause is a California phenom. He had
a seasons experience in the Tri-State
i under George Heckert, and bIossomed out
in 1909 as one OF the best twlrlers In the
American League. He particularly had
the goat OF Boston and Detroit.
Atkins didn't have as much chance as
he VIII later, owing to the notable work
OF Coombs and Bender. but Manager
| Mack believes he has the material OF
/ which a winner is made.
RusselTs sensational debut Is we'll re-
membered. The $4,000 beauty from Bal
timore beat Boston the only game he
pitched and showed that in addition 10
having a lot of ability he is also pos.
sessed Of the right kind OF nerve.

deal with Cincinnati. whereby four Of
the Phillies were exchanged for quar-

actuated Manager Doom. of the Phillies,
was the base-running ability OF Paskert

Quakers do a quick-step on the base

standpoint. he got decidedly the better Of
Manager Griffith in the transaction.

. cLAPP WANTS STREETS WEST
OF EIGHTH OPENED.

That commercial houses Of Fargo
are entitled to better facilities in get
ting across the Northern Pacific
tracks, is the opinion OF Aid. e. e.
Cole as expressed at the meeting of the
council last evening. The alderman
from the First ward holds that 1t costs
business firms more than enough ev-
cry year in time wasted at the cross
ings, to pay for a viaduct or overhead
bridge at one of the streets. Drays.
trucks, delivery wagons and other bus
mess vehicles are held up every day
from Ave to twenty minutes by passing
freights. all Of which might be avoided
The safe and sane feature was also
touched on by the alderman, who stat
ed that he did not ask for immediate
action on the matter.
Alderman Clapp asked that the mat
ter of opening some streets across the
Northern Pacific tracks west of Eighth
street, be taken up by committee. At
present many residents are forced to
go several blocks out of their way In
order to get from one section of the
city to another daily.
Both questions were referred to the
street and bridge committee, with in
structions to confer with the Northern
Pacific at the earliest possible mo-
ment and report back to the council.

Why Some Women
Have Beautiful Hair

CFrom London Saturday Review.l
"The popular method of caring for
the hair Is wrong says Prof H La
Snavely. Make your own investiga-
tions and see for yourself. Take the
woman addiA.ed to frequent shampoo
Ing with scented soaps and the use OF
so-called hair tonics and compare her
with the woman who depends upon
sane and sensible dry shampooing
Only too often you find the soap-and-
water woman's hair thin, scanty, brit
tie and dull in color.
Nov note the results of dry sham
pooling. You find the hair long, abund-
ant and glossy. 1t is fine in texture
and rich in color. It is light, bright
and fluffy, while the scalp is clean and
healthy. You'll find no dandruff or
soap on that head.
Amy woman to properly care for
her hair should use dry shampoo
Mix ounces Of powdered orris root
with ounces of therox. Sprinkle a
tablespoonful Of this mixture upon the
