Can Good Baseball be
Furnished For $1,000?

Last year the Central Association
had salary limit with no throttle.
When it was fixed rigidly at s1.400
the skeptical fan was wont to ask:
What kind of ball will we get for
s1,400-the kind of a sand lot varie-
typ
But the past season demonstrated
that good ball can be furnished by
magnates on s1,400 per month. But
listen, bugs, now the willy manager
must deliver the goods for 5000 per
month less. The question now re-
solves itself into this: Can good
enough baseball be furnished for ST..
2o0?"
The magnates say yes, several of the
managers say yes, but the fan is still
skeptical. He is from Missouri and
will have to be shown.
This certainly is not the age fol-
minor league ball players, and the &C
ton of the Central Association is in
line with that which already has OF

STRONG BACK FIELD.
FOR K. H. S. TEAM.
Hawkes., McManus, Devero and Bowl
by viii be Quartet Of Stars In
Football Tesr This
Season.
SPEED IS ASSURED
Several Veterans Are Back for POSI-
tions in Line, While There is
a Wealth Of Younger
Players.

The record-breaking football days
of 1906, when the greatest backfield
of the greatest football team the Keo-
kuk high school ever turned out
thrilled hundreds of spectators by a
clever execution of the new style of
football which has been introduced
only the year previous, may be re-
called this season for the first time
by quartet of brilliant youngsters
who are almost certain to compose
the back field of the 1911 team that
will represent the purple and white.
And it is upon the speedy back field
that the hopes of the K. H. S. this
year are pinned.
Football training is on in earnest,
for there is prospect of an opening
game with Carthage the latter part
of this month. If the date Is arrang-
ed it means much work for the can
didates.
The back field will undoubtedly be
the strongest part of the team, for no

soon will be taken by many of the
small fellows.
Several years ago there was time
when salaries in the minor leagues
were entirely out of proportion to
that IN the leagues higher up. But
at the time baseball was at its height
and sslaries were no object. Now
the profession will not be so remun-
erative to the players unless he can
show class for the big show
1t is generally conceded that the
Central Association has not made a
mistake in lowering the salary limit
if the past two years are grounds for
the action. However, if the live di-
rectorates raised plenty of money in
the early season a better grade of
ball could be supported.
Fans in the Central Association
have been educated to good class
of ball and in many instances the
bugs in the stand will be thinking
ahead of the players who are working
for their $50 and 500 per

which were generally criticised.
Round corners will be used.

be "A cents for each set of plates; d
saving of cents over this year. The
price this year was So cents. The con.

conceded to be the fastest man in
the high school at the present time
and while light, has the speed to
make him splendid player. His
teammate will be Jesse Devero, who
has speed combined with some weight.
Devero is the best all around athlete
in high school. Unless studies or in
juries interfere the backf1eld will be
composed of these four men.
The end positions should not be a
source of anxiety to the coacher for
the reason that two old men are
prepared to step into their old places.
They are Joe Wycoff and Heinemann,
both good men with fair size and
speed.

The battles Of advertising are not
won today by men with the largest
forces.
Three times in FIVE they are won by
men who start with but limited re-
sources. Five times in five, when rightly
directed, they are won without any
large risk. In good many cases there
is no stake at all.
There is no long waiting serious
uncertainty mo drawn-out period
when expense overtops result. One
gets his answer Immediately.
Most successful advertising pays divi-
dends from the start. impossible
things are not started at all.
And pretty large part of modern-day
advertising finances itself.
