PLENTY OF
FIRST SACKERS
Great Improvement Shown by
Men All AlOnG Line Since
Last Season
CALLAHAN THE ONLY
MAN SHORT THIS YEAR

Just about one year ago. when the
big league teams were making prep
nratiOns for their southern training
triOs. from all parts of the American
League circuit there came wall be-
moauing the lack of quality among
the first hasemen. There was but one
club. New York, with the Incompatible
Chase. that went south intent on the
man who would cover the initial sack
and kept him there till the end Of the
season
Now there Is only one club IN The
league which has not some definite
nlan about first base Unless their
plans miscarry, they will be we'll sat
isfied with the men on the program
Perhaps the two which viii be
hnost watched and ON whom the most
depends are Del Gamer, Of the Tigers,
and little "Stuffy" Mclnnes, Of the
worlds champions.
Neither of these players was a big
league regular last spring. Mclnnes
had 10 fight il out for his job with
The veteran Harry Davis last spring,
advanced before tho players had con-
hdence in him Then Jack Coombs
broke Gamers wrist, and he was un-
able 20 get back i'm the game till the
season was in its final stages.
Mclnnes was only an undorstudy
OF the veteran Harry Davis last
spring. but whom Il came 10 jumping
into the game when time came for
Davis to retire he did It and braced
The champions so that they were able
10 win out IN the league race
Then he, like Gamer, was a victim
OF a broken wrist. and was kept out
of the worlds series. II these two
keep up their past performances big
question will be answered for Jen-
nings and Mack.
The Cleveland club is we'll protect
ed ED Hornhorst is billed for the job
md there is every reason to believe
he will FIJI the .bill.ff not Davis can
fall back upon Lajoie. and, last, but
not least upon himself.
Even Bobby Wallaces tail endors
have recruit reputed to be a world
heater in Kutina, the big first sacker,
who graduated from the South Michi-
gan League last year In 1911 the
Browns didn't go month without try
ing out a new first sacker. This year
they think this recruit will end all the
trouble The way he hit in the post
season series with the Browns won a
place In the hearts of the Mound CITY
fans. and now they all swear by him.
The Boston Red SoX was another
tcam that had trouble last year over
a first hascman Now Jake Stahl has
signed mp TO return TO the game and
s--giiara this corner of the diamond fol

there will be no need for McAloor
TAYLOR and Co, to worry.
Chicago and Washington are the
only clubs In the league whose man
ayers are not definitely decided on
their first basoman, but Jimmy Gala
han is the only one who has to worry
about it
Germany Schafer although not a
regular first baseman, showed last
year that he was there" at this po-
sision. and can be used again this
year IL necessary.

What Makes Savings Bank Safe!


The man or woman who thinks of
making a deposit of his or her lit
tie savings, Oftentimes his or her all,
naturally does some hard thinking
with reference to the matter of safe
ty. There are a great many fnan-
ciaI institutions which parade at the
head of their announcements long
list of distinguished names, names
which are an ornament, and names
of men whose association with any
Savings Bank ought to make a bank
worthy of confidence.
Depositors should not be deceived
by these names. The names of Gen
eral So-and-So and Hon. So-and So
and Col. So-and-So do not add to the
safety of the bank, if they belong to
that class of directors who are not
direct.
In this connection the Hyde Park
Savings Bank has a word TO say. 1t
is a matter of common knowledge
that the managers of this bank have
given to it's investments such care
full consideration and scrutiny that
in its more than tWenty-three years
of existence it has never lost a dollar
by a poor note-a record perhaps
unparalleled in the history of banks.
Not only do it's managers scrutiniZe
with painstaking care every detail
connected with its investments, but
the results show that those invest
ments are made conservatively and
with a determination that safety
rather than high rates of interest
shall be the guiding principle of the
Bank
Parties thinking of making de-
posts are invited to address the
President, Carroll s. Page, or the
