BASEBALL INSTINCT.
It Takes Quick Thinking Players 70
Make Successful Team.

y
Make Successful Team.
The greatest difiicuity In building mp
bah teams In this day. when the game
has become business as well as q
sport, is In securing what we know as
thinking ball players" There are any
number Of ball players In the minor
leagues who have natural physical
ability. but 1t is very rarely possible
to secure men who have that peculiar
faculty OF being able to think and act
simultaneously.
1t is no reflection on a ball players
general intelligence to say that he
hasn't that quality. l know scores OF
players who are men of unusual In
tellect, but who are lacking In that
ability to think and act at the same
time. Give them few minutes to
consider q problem, and they win ar
rive at conclusion that Is quite log
zeal, but baseball games are not won
on logic. The plays that win are usu-
ally the result OF impulse. It is in-
stinct with some ball players to make
the proper play at the proper time.
1t would be possible to count on the
fingers of the two hands the men In
the league who are quick thinking
bali players" The team that is bless
ed with a majority Of that class OF
players Is the one that usually wins
the championship. A team must have
at least two thinking bali players to be
a contender, and If 1t has four tho
championship is in sIght.-John ]. Nc

BY D. L. Marx.
WILL EMPLOY 50 HANDS
Factory will be Enlarged Soon
as possible. New and Up
to-Date Machinery will
be Installed.

For the past three weeks negotia-
tions have been pending FOR the pnr-
chase 81 the Aver Manufacturing Co.'S.
Overall plant, III -219 Eighth street,
which has been osed dawn since No
vemher, 1910
Mr.. Marx, who wasthsg sguidin g spir-
IL and president Of the Marx-Gaunt
o., aud who became discon-
neerpd with that firm about two
months ago, Is the purchaser OF the
plant, and will devote his energies
and ability to The manufacture OF
overalls and shirts. The plant will be
enlarged as soon as larger and more
suitable quarters can be found and
additional machines to be installed,
the quality o' goods made will be the
best ohtainable anywhere. 1t is Mr..
Ma K intention to start as quickly as
material and supplies can be assem-
bled. The services of F. j. Quinn, a
practical cutter and manager now
in the employ of the Ferguson Nc
Kinney GO. OF ST. Louis, Mo-, have
been secured AID he will be here soon
to overhaul the machinery and ar
range for starting the factory.
Mr.. Marx desires to get back all the
girls formerly employed by Mr..
Aver and &c addi ioual girls who
would like to leara the making of
overalls and shirts.
The factory when operated by the
Aver Mfg. Co. made only overalls
and pants. Mr.. Marx will add ma
chinery to manufacture shirts, both
working and negiigee shirts.
More rapid machinery will be in
stalled than was formerly operated.
In lhe new outfit there will be ma
chimes that make 1000 stitches min
ufe, using no bobhins.
Under Mr. Marks guidance, there
is no doubt that the new plant will be
a success, as he is n hnstling business
