FIRST PERIOD
CLOSES TUESDAY,
SEPTEMBER II
But Seven Days Remain in Which
to Secure the Big
Votes.
SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL DECIDE

The enthusiasm OF some OF the fans
in The Herald's Baseball Contest may
be directed toward securing subscrip-
tions wholly and others may be de-
voting much time trying to collect
coupons exclusively and have their
friends do the same. II any of the
candidates are doing the latter ex-
clusively and failing to take advantage
of the votes which may be secured on
subscriptions they will be disappointed
to that of their competitor who Is Sc
curing a large number OF votes on sub
scriptions.
The coupons which are printed In
the paper are worth twenty-five votes
on Sunday. and i've votes on the other
days of the week. They aid materially
whe NEGLECTED by yourself or friends,
and when added to the votes you OBJ
tain by securing subscriptions. How
ever. II will be impossible to win IL
the coupons alone are depended upon.
Waste no time In collecting coupons
with the idea that they are the votes
that will make you a winner. Waste
no time buying copies OF The Herald
and clipping the coupons from them
This will avail you nothing. The sub
scriptions bring you all the way from
500 to 10000 votes, and IL is the sub
scriptions that will decide the winners.
On the other hand. however. as you
add each new subscriber, tell him to
save the coupons for you. and in this
way the coupons become a value. be-
cause they are added to the greater
number of votes given when the sub
scriptions are turned in.
The first period. and with IL the op-
portunity to secure the biggest votes
Of the contest. will come to a close one
week from to-day. II will be followed
by the second period. and the diminish
ing vote scale which will continue in
force until the end OF the contest. Oc-
tober .. Right now we wish to assure
every candidate that no further
changes will be made in the schedule
and no extra offers of any kind will be
made for votes during the remaining
days of the contest.
The contest has only three more weeks
to run. and II is plain that those who are
going to get busy should do SO at once
From now on every day wasted may
lessen the chances of a candidates VIC
tory. Any energetic. popular. deter
mined fan with friends to support him
can pile up a mighty measure of votes
in a surprisingly short time. All We
say is that you will need all the votes
you can get and the earlier you secure
them the better your chances of sue
cess.
The Herald will take pride and pleas-
ure in making the arrangements for the
trips to the Worlds Series so complete
and thorough that the twenty winners
shall travel amid luxury and comfort,

at all Of the games. and shall enjoy ex-
ira entertainment when the opportunity
for such may arise. The fans will attend
the games in a body, and will form an
interesting feature OF the interested
throng.
Every cent Of expense on the trips
will be paid by The Washington Herald
The men in the party will have the
best vacation ever devised for a baseball
fan. They will have travel. sport. varied
entertainment. and good-fellowship
Don't you want to share in this pleasure
to win one of these trips? Well, then.
