BACKING UP
THE RETAILER

It seems to us that 1t Is a
guarantee of quality when a
manufacturer places his prod
duct in good retail shops Of the
country and then helps the re-
taller advertise it to the public
one avenue of reaching every
body everywhere.
First of all it means that the
manufacturer b as perfected
something worth while-worth
advertising; then that he is
enterprising in wishing to dis
tribute his merchandise through
the leading dealers in a COM
munity; and. finally. that those
same dealers in lending their
approval and their regulations
to this plan of distribution be-
lieve in the goodness of the ar
ticle itself.
It also means that the public
thus doubly insured and may
therefore depend upon mer-
chandise advertised Jointly by
both manufacturer and re-
taller.
Manufacturers who want to
help their retail dealers are
gradually learning that the
daily newspaper offers the best
avenue. Through the daily
newspaper the manufacturer
can create a direct demand up
on his dealers. No other me-
dium will do this so econom-
ically or SO effectively.
Circulation More
Than 1900.

FUNERAL
OCCURRED IN ATLANTA
Clan O'Hara Held Its Annual Services
There.

Atlanta, April 29.-The most remark
able funeral ceremony that is enacted
anywhere on the American continent
had its yearly recurrence here this
morning, when the Clan O'Hara, the
band of nomad Irish horse traders,
gathered to bury seven women of their
company who had died during the past
IL months. Several hundred men, wo-
men and children, coming from all
parts of North America in their big
cabins on wheels arrived in Atlanta
last week for the funeral rites.
Atlanta was selected years ago rs
the one burial ground for the clan.
When any member of the clan dies, no
matter how far off it may be, the body
is shipped to Atlanta, is embalmed here
and kept in a temporary vault until the
time for the annual funeral This
year the tribe members followed seven
collins to the cemetery Four of the
dead were young girls, two were ma
ture women and one 19-year Old
wife, Mrs Mamie Nelson. The fun
eral services were conducted by Father
Kennedy in the Church of the Immac-
ulate Conception, and from the lot the
tribe made its way to Oakland ceme-
terry, where the ceremony was con-
cluded at the lot which the tribe owns.
The funeral procession was unique
in the fact that instead Of riding in liv-
cried carriages behind the hearse the
tribes of the clan followed in the road
wagons, which are their homes.

TY COBB'S PAY TO Be
$4,000 THIS SEASON
Now in Lineup Of Detroit
Tigers

Detroit, Mich, April 29.-Ty Cobb
rated by most critics as the greatest
ball player in the game to-day, will
receive $12,5OO for the coming season.
This wac the official statement given
out at the Detroit Baseball Club head
quarters here this morning.
Ty has been holding out for 1000
for months, but signed yesterday to
play at the above figures. 1t is report
ed here that Cobb received $4,000 last
season, and that after long confer
ence here yesterday Cobb agreed to
play for $4,000
Nothing was said by the Detroit
club about the bonuses to be given
Cobb at the end of the season. The
contract signed by the Georgia Peach,
as far as could be learned calls only
for the salary.
Whether Cobb will receive more
next season is another question The
contract calls for one year. Ty re-
ported for practice this morning, but
will not be in the game for several
days. Ban Johnson will probably hank
a fine on the Tiger outfielder for no.
reporting earlier. However, the
amount is not expected to exceed
500.

TESREAU Will
NOT Be ABLE
To Equal His 1912 Record
With Giants

Baseball is full of upsets, as the
records show. Prior to the opening of
the season fans confidently expected
that Big Jeff Tesreau of the Giants.
would start right off the reel and pile
up a string of consecutive victories
Instead, MrGraw's mammoth spit
5aller drops the opener to the Boston
Braves, getting driven from the slab
while dropping it, and then, on his
first appearance in a relief role, al
lows the opposition to come from be-
hind and win out.
Tesreau undoubtedly will win q
great number OF games for the Nc
GRANTEES this year and possibly may
surpass his 1912 record. There is one
record he made in 1912, however, that
he cannot possibly equal, even though
the season still is in it's infancy. That
record relates to home runs. Last
year only one National League player
made homer off Big Jeff, who work.
ed in 243 innings, equivalent to 81
complete games. On Tesreau's first
two appearances on the slab this sea-
son he labored for just seven stan2as
and in that time was located for two
four-baggers. John Titus was the
lone National Lacquer who clouted
for the circuit off Tesreau last season,
the present Bostonian, then a Phillie,
making his four-bagger in the game
played on May 2.
The players who poled homers off
Tesreau this year We're Bill Raridel
who used to be Rube Vanguard S
backstop when the tall port-sider was
with Canton, and ]. Carlisle Smith
who started the season in sad fashion
since Tom Seaton whitfield him thrice
Despite the fact that Tesreau has
had two home runs made off him in
less than one full game, he undoub.
eddy will remain on the Giants pay
roll all season long.
Certain pastimes start brilliantly
and then slow up. 8 A National
Lacquer who got away to a brand
start in 1912 at the expense of a
uitcher, was Jack Sprat, then third
baseman for the Boston. The records
show that he made three home runs
and all were obtained off Grover
Cleveland Alexander, of the Phillies
When the season ended Alexander
was the strike out king of the Ma
tional League and Spratt was in the
minors, having been sent there IN
June.
