the betting indicates that the event is
an open race Not one or even two of
the entries are being backed with any
confidence, but the whole field has
following in the advance books. In
fact, the uncertainty that has Followed
the 3-year-old fixtures abroad this year
is very likely to be continued until al
ter the race has ben run.
AWAY back last winter were heard
frequent and heated discussions as to
the relative merits of Lemberg and
Neil Cow for the Derby. The running
of that blue ribbon of the English A-lrf
did not convince all that Lemberg as
vastly superior to Lord Rosebery's colt
And since then new factors have 4p-
peared in a consideration of the 3-year-
old question. Charles O'Malley, Green
back and Bronzino are toe good J.
year-olds to pass over, and all are GER
tain starters, barring the ever possible
accident.
the favorite, as is altogether quite
natural, but the odds of to 1 that
can easily be secured on the derby
winner show that there is by no means
the unanimity of opinion as prevailed
a year ago when Bayardo was at evens
over the st. Leger field of 1909. Against
any of the others + to l can be Sc
cured, with Greenback and O'MalleY
the more fancied of the lot. There was
a time, comparatively few years bach,
when the derby winner was reasonably
sure of victory in the st. Leger. SlF
Visto. Persimmon and Galtee More,
derby winners of '55-'9 '97, all took
down the St. Leger the year they won
the derby, and the same was true or
Flying Fox in 80 and of Diamond
Jubilee in 1900. But since then Rock
Sand the derby winner of 1903, is the
only one that has taken both races.
The route in the ST. Leger is rather
long, being something over a mile and
three-uuarters, or a trifle less than the

pretty fair fashion, nor should sight be

Lemberg were eased up toward the

there was no hope, while Bronzino was
raced to the stand. But even so o NAL

be very properly regarded as significant
and it would not be at all surprising II,

Baltimore In 1897 and 1898 Boston
again won. In 1899 and 1900 Brooklyn
earned the pennant. In 1901, 1907 ana
1903 Pittsburg was the successful club
In 1904 and 1905 the Giants busted
themselves and won. In 1906, 1907 ana
1908 the much-coveted five yards or so
of bunting was captured by Chicago.
In 1909 Pittsburg Won Now the
question before the National league
and some 2O,OO0,OOO or more baseball
fans Is whether Pittsburg can do
it again.
1t the precedent of eighteen years to
be continued or are the clubs of the
National league other than Pittsburg
smart enough this season to bring
about another result?
There was not such a long period of
championships repeated" prior to the
victory of the Brooklyn team in 1890.
In 1888 and in 1889 the New York club
had the habit but Detroit earned a
single pennant in 1887, after Chicago
had been the champion organization
in 1885 and 1886.
Prior to Chicago, Providence had the
championship for a year, in 1884, and
Boston wCh it the year before-lSS3.
In 1880, 1881 and 1882 Chicago captured
the flag. The Cubs were the first team
in the National league to win three
years in succession, and to date have
been the last team to win three years
in succession. They tried hard enough
to make it four years in 1909, but
Pittsburg was too much for them.
Providence won the championship In
1879 and Boston was the first team to
start the habit of winning two years
in succession, when the pennant was
captured by the MEN from the Hub in
1877 and 1878. The very first winner
of a championship of the organiza-
ton was Onicago, III 1876.

Trite, Yet Valuable
Hints.

In enclosing q stamp in a business let
ter never wet the stamp as 1t will prob
ably be ruined in removing. Cut n small
''v" in the paper and slip the stamp into
the clip thus made.
Do not take money from anyone, bank
er. merchant, father or best friend, with.
out counting it. You may fear to give
offense and say that they are honest, but
did It ever occur to you that people of
probity occasionally make mistakes. Vice
versa, when paying out money, say
Count iti''
II you have a bill or account to pay,
1t is safer and better to pay 1t with q
check on your bank provided you have
enough money on deposit. check Is
first, evidence that the debt has beon
paid, and no receipt is required. Second,
1t shows when and how much has been
paid. Third, parties cannot claim you
did not pay them enough or gave them
bad money.
Sending money by mail is a dangerous
practice, one that can be donN once too
often. The various methods Wy which
money can be safely forwarded are as
follows:
! Bank draft, payable to your order
and endorsed over to the order Of
the party you wish to pay.
2 Through express companies IL mod
crate sums.
By postal money orders in like man
ner.
By telegram, rather expensive but
method that meets urgent need.
When replying to a business communica-
tion, do not assume that your correspond
ent will remember circumstances Zone
among a hundred at a glance. First
quote the date of the letter to which
you are replying, with a brief resume Of
the matter under consideration before
plunging into the subject matter.
When writing TO any company, society
or institution on business, do not address
your letter to one of its officers or EN-
ployees personally. All letters addressed

the American bank clerk, one OF the most
Mplendid types of our business life-tnis'

the occasional weakling is faithless to MS

OF the world, taking into consideration the
vast amount of money handled tnat SO
Paw hank clerks are faithless to their
trust. In this respect, they TRANSCEND
narca ntile life and even their financial
runeriors. How can l become a bank
clerk? What are the initial and success
siye steps7 Where is the widest ana
quickest opportunity? These are cues
tions being daily asked by c'ean-cuI
vouths who have high ambitions.
Invariably, the first step is to DO ap'
nointed a bank messenger. The usual
salary is S25 a month and the duties con-
sist in carrying checks, driets and money
to and from depositors. Banks employ
from one to ten Of these messengers.
His next opportunity-salary increasing
n stated amount every year-is an assist
ant in the bookkeeping department open

dentally the smaller the bank, the greater

large institutions a young clerk may get
into a certain department wherein the
way of promotion is blocked except

perior, and II he lacks initiative stay In

his salary will later run from $50 to

very frequent and are made on basis
of personal worth. accentuated by long

NEW YORK, Aug. baseball af-
fords one road to riches for the thrifty,
Industrious diamond star. Some have
amassed fortunes during years of sue
cess in the big and little leagues, and
many have doubled and trebled these
savings. Others, taking a lone whirl at
some good thing" have struck it rich.
Chances for accumulating wealth are
better now than in the palmy days of
Goldsmith, Brouthers, Anson, Bennett
or Flint. for the king pins now adorn-
ing the championship clubs are drawing
large salaries in comparison with the
! earnings of the former greats"
Wise men of the baseball armament
are unanimous in the selection of
Charles A. Comiskey, owner of the

now identified with the game who ac-

hint as to the banking account of the

millionaires, however, and the man be-
hind one of the biggest baseball plants
known to the pastime X
Comiskey salted away his dimes and
nickels at regular intervals while wear
| ing the brown at st. Louis, and later
seized his opportunity to further swell
the savings, until today Comiskey
stands at the top of the heap among
the financial kings of baseball.
Connie Mack, known in private life
as Cornelius McGillicuddy, who is driv-
| ing his Athletics at a furious pace in
! the American league pennant scramble,
has always led a frugal life, laying
away his earnings as player until the
bank book boasted of something really
substantial.
Later Mack swung his dynamic forces
into line with Benjamin Shibe, owner
of the Philadelphia Americans, and the

A Want Ad and a Moral

a business house, do not attempt to die
