Coombs is 27 years old He played

He is a holder of records, one of them
being the famous 24-inning victory
over Boston in 1907. During the 1917
season he went So innings at one
stretch without letting an opposing
club score on him
The back-stopping for Philadelphia
will be same as last year. Ira Thomas,
who took the measure of the famous
John King, of Chicago, in last year s
series. will be first choice behind the
bat, and Lapp. who caught one game
last year, will be a close second. Lapp
is young, and this seasons play has
improved him.
Big Cher Meyers. Wilson and
Hartley will catch for the Giants. But
it is needless to give biographical
forthcoming SERIES Experts agree that
in no wise can the outcome of the
series or of a single game be expected
to rest with a single player unless it be
the pitchers.
Teams Evenly Matched.
Team for team the opponents are as
evenly matched as any two that ever
fought for the worlds title. Experts
agree as to this, and recalling their
mistaken judgment in picking the Chi
cagO Cubs as a favOrite last year, they
are prone to play safe and declare the
outcome of the recent series to be a
matter of delightfully."- doubtful I'M
certainty
In at least one respect the series will
mark a record in baseball history, for
it is estimated that more than twice as

which burned early this season with a
mammoth steel and concrete structure,
which, when wholly finished, is ex-

yield these newspapers a Suffl-

CHARACTER to increase the
revenue of the paper.
If those of us who are inter
ested in the development of
newspaper advertising would sit
down at our desks once in a
while and figure up the revenue
from business we print that we
feel, down deep in our hearts,
we should not print, and if, on
the other side, we put down the
possible revenue from other
stores that we do not now get
because of the printing of this
other kind of advertising, WE
WOULD FIND THAT WE
LOSE MORE THAN WE GAIN.

ing the advertiser who isn't ac-
tuated by an HONORABLE
BUSINESS PRINCIPLE when
he undertakes an advertising

That is perfectly right. Ad-

MISLEADING, if not wholly I'M

THE VALUE OF THE ADVER-

LOST MINES RECALLED.

Every once in a while, with the
slightest excuse for doing it, some
ono falls back on missing mines for
a newspaper article. The Portland
Oregonisn, for instance, had, the
other day, an account Of the Blue
Bucket mine, supposed to be some
where in Grant county, Ore, but it
did not say that the mine had been
found, and the Blue Bucket must
take its place with the Peg.leg, the
dozen OF so Lost Cabins, and all the
other deposits that are in all prob.
ability myths.
All the stories have family re.
semblance and all have started great
PUSHES, but not one Of the mines has
ever been discovered, although il is
common TO hear some man who II
trying to sell stock seek 20 identify
his property with one of the lost
treasure houses. Thus, there have
been a dozen Lost Cabin mines pos.
itively discovered, only to pan out
nothing. And the Peg.leg chase goes
merrily on, though the real prospect,
or has long ago given up all idea
that such mine ever was found by
Peg.leg Smith or by anyone else.
How these stories grow is plainly
seen. Some years ago, well known
resident Of Yuma went out into the
desert and found slab Of quartz
that seemed alive with gold. With
what tools he had he worked des.
perately, because his water was run
ming short, and ut the end Of n day
and half he had absolutely stripped
that find, for the slab Of quartz was
." tAV'V v"s W ~ hha thc umouht
il yielded was some 1880.
Suppose this man had intentionally
over-stayed the limit allowed by his
water supplyi He would perhaps
have found his way dying into Yuma
with extraordinary rich specimens,
and there would have been rush
Immediately out into the burning
sands Of the Colorado desert.
These old stories grow In the tell.
ing, too. They certainly have lost
nothing in romance and dramatic eff
feet as they have passed from mouth
to mouth and newspaper to newspaper
And there 10 nothing in them after
all.

REVISION OF EQUITY PRACTISE.

Chief Justice White, by drafting

in the Standard Oil and American
Tobacco Companies cases, has made
an impression on national life that
will, we feel, be enduring and far.
reaching. Only occasionally, in the
course Of the generations, does IL fall
to jurist to meet and TO seize
such an opportunity for professional
and historical eminence. But the
end is not yet. lie has just taken
the first step in another line Of nc.

Judiciary, but nj the same time Of
profound general interest because
taken in order that justice may be
decreed more speedily, inexpensively

not a case of initiative from within
