! Without contentment and an easy mind
no man can be really happy or success
| full in his work, and in this fact lies the
psychology Of saving.
! 1t means just this-besides the actual
amount Of money you accumulate by
systematic saving, you get very valuable
mental effects.
The mind has great influence over the
body. Saving makes you think success
thoughts 1t creates in you desire to
get ahead. and desire is the first step to-
ward attainment.
Saving frees you from worry about the
present, and from anxiety for the future
Therefore. the psychological effect of
saving is that you are enabled to give
your whole attention. and best efforts to
your work. .
In short when you save regularly you
can do better work and more of it. and
thus you will be happier both now and in
the future.
There is a sure and simple way TO pro-
vide for a comfortable old age. It con-
sists of making the most OF the active
years of your comfort IN that future time
when failing strength and lessening in
come will make money saved and working
FOR Won a great blessing indeed.
IL any Young man starting out In life
will make up his mind 10 save 70 per cent
OF his income and tick to this deter
mination through thick and thln, he will
have enough to retire ON in his old age
,ust from accumulated savings and inter-
| est. while judicious investments from time
to time would put him in really comfort-
able circumstances.
If YOU want real pleasure live for more
than the present and II YOU DO that, one

R BEAR STORY

Chicago, Aug. 13.-The first bear
story Of the year emanated from the
traditional gloom in the midway foot
ball camp at the University of Chi
caeo. Coach Page, just before leav-
ing for Michigan. where he will pass
his vacation, received the news that
Marion Skinner, the brilliant spoho-
more who starred at n on last years
near-championship eleven, would not
return to college because of the sud-
den death of his father, who was
drowned recently. Skinner has decid-
ed to leave college and enter business.
Skinner is a brother of Tad" Skin
ner. former Maroon quarter miller and
dash man.
h younger Skinner made good at
enc last year as a sophomore and
played n brilliant game throughout
n season. 1t was partly through his
skllful handling of long forward pass
es In the Minnesota game that enabled
the Maroons to take the ball within
striking distance of the goal.
Skinner and Smith, who PLAYED
quarter last year, are the only veter-
ans except the graduates who will he
lost to the Maroons. Carpenter, Law
Ter Sellers, Paine. Freeman and Cam
hlns are the veterans who were grad
uated: Smith. the former Hyde Park
star, has left college to go into bust
ness. According to data in the hands
OF Coach Page. a squad OF nearly
thlrty-fve experienced candidates will
report FOR the first practice.

Fights For Third Place.

Winona a the Northern league pen.
nant safely tucked away. The season
closes Saturday, August "a, and, with
the High Brows going at their present
gait, there is absolutely no chance for
the Red Sox to overtake them. The
Davis crew has been putting up an ex-
c%eptionally good article Of ball since
the opening Of the big league series
with Superior, and they will have to
take an awful slump to drop behind
in the race.
Superior has been going rather bad
ly since the beginning Of the same
series. Aside from losing the threA
straight to Winona, they were BANKED
twice on Sunday by Lacrosse. These
defeats snuffed out the remaining hone
for the gonfalon.
Just at present, Winnipeg is giving
Duluth a merry chase for third posi-
ton. The Peggers took two games
from Minneapolis yesterday, and, by
virtue Of this and Duluth's double
shut-out, moved up to within twelve
points of the White Sox.
Winona has been treating the Du.
straight shut-outs against Darby
O'Brien and his men. Bell, Toraason
and Meyers were the pitchers that
turned the tricks.

NOTHING BUT ENGLISH
FOR jumps PERRY WERDEN:
DECLARES GEORGE BARTON
lBv George Barton.l

After noting what several noted
college professors and baseball men
have to say regarding the writing OF
baseball stories in fine English as OPP
posed to the slangy style in common
use all over the country, we have Sc
cured the opinion of a real expert on
the matter, said expert being no other
than that eminent instructor in rhet-
ORIG and a close follower of matters
pertaining to baseball.
We refer to the Hon. Pericles Mont
gomery Werden.
Mr.. Werden expresses himself as
follows: "~Personally, l have always
been opposed { o slang. There is moth
ing so pleasing to my ear as fine Eng
fish. Perhaps, this is due to my early
schooling at the famous Goose Hill
university of st. Louis, Mr.. Why. the
way some baseball writer's use slang
in describing games it difficult for one
to determine whether it is a treatise
on tn, Balkan war or a Chinese laun-
dry bill.

GOLF (
Superior Accuracy Of Professionals.

Forty-two inch shafts in wooden
clubs are Ions enough for leading pro-
fessionals to get enough speed and
n into their shots to outdrive the
amateurs. In addition to being short
or. the clubs used by the pros will be
found I average very u lower in
weight.
Braid. Vardon. Taylor and Herd,
four Of the greatest British profess
SIGNALS. who between them have prac-
tically monopolized the open cham
pionship and accomplished feats Of
Imagination. all use Al II and AZ inch
drivers.
The average amateur. or the other
hand. use wooden clubs ranging from
As to As inches in length. The greater
leverage apparently demands a slight
ly heavier head. and the result is an
implement more difficult to swing
with accuracy and harder to control.
A few years ago there was a fad Of
55-inch drivers. and many pros did a
land office business in making the
fishing poles for amateurs. So far as
my observation went, 1 only found
three pros who ever used one Of the
long shafts in competition, and I
SAAAAAN lAACy WHY w 0o AoA OdlklIlS pun
poses so to speak.
There is no question but what a
firmly hit ball from one Of the long
clubs would go further by reason Of
the greater leverage. but the added
risk of inaccurate hitting more than
Offset any possible advantage Of dis
lance.
Braid is a man standing over six
feet tall, so there is no possible pc.
portunity for tall amateurs arguing
that because they stand over five feet
nine inches they need longer shafts.
A sudden shift to shorter clubs may
cause temporary embarrassment, but
after a few rounds the player will be
amazed at the increasing accuracy he
is attaining.
The driver at say AZ inches, the
brassy at 41h inches. and the spoon
or cleek at 40h OF Al inches will be
found much more effective weapons
than longer implements.
The modern lively golf ball does not
have to be hit as hard as the old style
solid gutta percha ball to secure all
the distance that is essential for low
scoring. The trick is to hit the ball
accurately with as great speed as pos
sible as the club head m to the
ball and follows through.

Schauer will leave this evening for
New York, and Friday will report to

Schauer's farewell appearance was
arranged at his own request. Sommer

his star against the Rangers, as he
wanted him to be in the best Of con-
dition when he reported. Schauer,
however, wanted to go in and his re-
quest was granted.
