Every Important Event Depicted

The series will be completed in sixteen sections,
superbly and profusely illustrated from the famous pho
tographs. Each week The Star will issue one of these
in its regular sequence, thus enabling you to
follow the stirring events of half a century ago just as
they occurred. In this way every important event and
phase of the war is covered.
Another good feature-every section is complete in
Itself. You can obtain one or all, just as you desire.
You don't have to keep in your head anything that
went before. Each section tells the full, entire story of
a whole battle, from the first scouting party TO the last
gun fired. You enter into all the hopes and fears of the
grim generals lined up for the Eight. You learn what
force they had and what brought on the struggle. You
watch the opposing lines gradually close in.
Then comes the first screaming bullet and the dull
shock of conflict.
Back and forth you see them; they surge until one
gives way. Another chapter in history has been
written. And with all the thrill of an eyewitness you
come to know, as you never did before, the meaning of
the words Bull Run, Shiloh, Corinth, Fredericksburg
all the rest down to Appomattoxl

of the most important events of the war. The
series naturally begins with Bull Run, that first
great encounter of armed troops Of the North
and South.
The contingent fee is so small that it can
not cover the cost of this distribution unless a
large number of portfolios are issued. To be
exact-unless more than one million copies
shall be distributed to subscribers Of this great
organization the nominal fee asked will fail
to equal the expense incurred in collecting,
identifying and bringing this priceless collsc-
ton to the American people.
But already the response in various parts of
the country has been tremendous and, knowing
the people of Newark as we do, our only con-
Germ is that we will be able to supply the great
demand.

The History by Professor Henry w. Elson

This is far more than a collection of pictures-how-
ever unique and valuable. Not only is every picture
completely described-a feature of the utmost value and
true only OF the present workout there is also a clear,
interesting story of the battle or events from the mas
terly pen of Professor Henry W. Elson, of Ohio Uni
versity.
Like the photographs, the text of THE CIVIL WAR
THROUGH H CAMERA is surprising. 1t is abso-
lutely different from any and all of the histories you
are used to, 1t is the kind of history you will like-you
will want your children to know-and, best of all, the
sort they will read without any, urging. For it is as
fascinating as a fairy tale.
1t is a lesson in patriotism they will never forget. a
More than that--it is absolutely fair and impartial.
The day has long since passed when we can afford to
take sides or tell a big story from only one point of
view. This is the biggest of our stories and it has been
told from a national viewpoint. Both sides have had
their say-and the facts have been allowed to speak for
themselves.
The resultant work represents United America
with its pride in the valor of the Blue and the GRAY alike

Harry Davis Doesn't Believe
That Good Players Are Ever
Down and Out

Harry Davis, Cleveland manager, Is
one of those individuals who does not
believe that ball players diamond
career is ended when his arm goes out
OF commission and his legs lose their
speed. ="
Ball players too often devote most
of their energy looking after their
salary" he declared with emphasis to-
day. !"They argue that at the best
they have only few years to stay In
the game. They believe that during
that time they must collect enough
coin to last the remainder OF their
lives. They see visions of going back
to hard labor. of losing all the COM
forts of life which they enjoyed while
drawing a large salary as member
Of major league. j.
That's wrong. It's entirely wrong
They don't appreciate the hugeness OF
this game. Baseball is an immense
proposition. There's not the slightest
reason in the world why man should
not make it his life work just as
man makes the study of the auto bust
ness MS HE WOFh When AS CELCAO IAC
office of an auto concern.
Just think over the list OF men who
have retired or who have been forced
to retire as baseball players in recent
years. Think for moment what a
vast number of them are still directly
connected with the sport.
The game is just like a business.
The man who studies it, who Is at
tentive, who is ambitious. who Goes
whats right. Who gives the club all
that he possesses, who takes care Of
himself, is the man who will find that
it will pay him dividends as long as
ar,v other line of work would.
Just consider for a moment how
many minor league clubs in this conn
try are more than anxious to get g
man of intelligence at good salary
to manage their clubs. Think Of the
Dur1ber of scouts employed by the ma
jor league clubs There is room for
every man who Is willfnR to try to ad-
vance in his profession
Don't think for minute that I DE-
1ieve a ball player isn't entitled to A
healthy salary. On the contrary. T be.
lieve he is, and earns it. What | meA-
to convey is the idea that the ball
player should work for the future Just
as the young fellow does in other
lines of work"

Wolgast stopped of in Chicago on

In return for getting the chance at

Coast Crew Alive to Import
ance of Coming Meeting with
> Hawaiian 0arsmen

Coast oarsmen are waking up to
The Importance of the coming regatta
in Honolulu waters, when the Ala
media crew will contest for the All
Pacific title, and the San Francisco
bapers are now devoting much space
TO the coming invasion. Besides con-
testing the six-oared count, the
Coasters will have a pair oar in the
regatta. The Call of July 28 has the
following to say of the venture, and
of the Coast men who will be in the
boat: -. 10. '.'.. 80. !. > III
|s.t Pacific. Coast and Hawaiian oars
men are to measure blades and boat
lengths for the first time in the his.
tory of rowing. On September 10
sextet representing the Alameda
Rowing Club will leave for. the isl
ands to take part in the champion
ship regatta at Honolulu. 1t will be
one OF the fastest and huskiest crews
ever organized by local club.
The Alameda club crew-the pres
ent Pacific Coast champions-won
the right TO make the trip by defeat
ing the San Diego, South End and
Dolphin crews on the estuary at Ala
media in the last annual regatta
For years past the Alameda oars
men have been big factor. To the
water conditions at Alameda many
rowing experts have given a big
share of the credit.
Today the senior four of the Ala
media crew, augmented by two other
first class oarsmen, will start active
training in preparation for the big
race. E. y Thorning, the president
of the Alameda club, and Captain
Henry Hess yesterday named the fol-
lowing we'll known stars for the trip
to Honolulu:
Strohe-Henry Hess, 1856 pounds.
No. John Lewis, 16S pounds.
No. 4-Henry G. Nielsen, It's
pounds.
No. 3-Charles Kiser, 17S pounds.
No. Oscar Sommers, 165 pounds.
Bow-Al. Brampton, $50 pounds. !
Coxswain-Herman kim.
Reserve-Fred Hacke, 155 pounds.
This sextette averages 10 pounds
per man. Four of the crew and the
reserve oar are all experienced single
skiff men and their ability in this d.
rection has given them big edge on
all other candidates. Henry Hess,
the stroke of the crew, is the retired
undefeated single SOULS champion Of
the Pacific Coast Jack Lewis, who
will row the responsible No. berth
behind Hess, is the real veteran of
the crew, having been a member of
the famous Alameda Spider" crew
many. years ago. In 1904 Lewis held
the single SOULS coast championship.
