SUBS WILL PLAY IN

r OE BEAN is working hard to
develop his Athletic club

Harrison, are out with injuries, but

II OSTON, MASS, Jan. AT
n lanta win not get Jay Kirke
this

y
this year.
This announcement was definite
ly made by George Stallings and
sets at rest the,report for good and
all.
Says Stallings: IT have no In
tention now of selling Kirke. He
is altogether too good a hitter to
let go. He isn't fast on his feet, Of
course, and his fielding record for
last year didn't look very good. I
think the main thing win be to get
him in his proper position. He did
not seem to fit in as an outfielder,
but l believe he may make very
good in the infield."
1t is believed here that Stallings
will look out for the Atlanta club
in good style, despite the fact that
he will not slip Bill Smith the man
he wanted.
The Boston Nationals have a
world of good material-more than
they can possibly use-and It is
thought that some of the very best
of the surplus men will be farmed
in Atlanta.
Another rumor set at rest was
that Arthur DeVlin was to be
canned by Stalllngs. Devlin was
assured by Stallings that he would
be taken South and given a chance
to make good.

that his main squad will report at

frequently on strikes. Russell Ford

Ty Cobb does not strike out very

HOW GOLD PENS ARE MADE
Meta, 10 Rolled Into Q Ribbon and
Pen shapes Are Cut Out by
Machinery.

The tiny tip OF white metal seen on
the under side Of the point of a gold
pen may be Of platinum, but It is more
likely to be iridium. Iridium Is very
hard metal and It Is expensive; It
costs about four times as much as
gold. The purpose of the iridium tip
Is. Of course. to give the pen a more
durable tip.
The gold pen maker buys his gold
at the assay Office in bars Of pure "a
karat gold. which he melts and alloys
with his silver and copper to the de-
gree of fineness required. Gold Of IA
karats is used In the manufacture Of
the best American gold pens, that be-
i'g the Cevree of fineness deemed
most suitable for pen use; but good
pens made in this country for sale In
France are made OF 13 karats. the
French government requiring that all
articles exposed for rale in that coun-
try as gold shall be of not less than
IS karats.
The gold from which the pens are
to be made Is rolled and rerolled until
of gold has been rolled into thin
gold ribbon about three feet in length
by four inches wide. Then this gold
ribbon is put into a machine which
stamps out of 1t pen shapes, all still
fat. Then on the tip Of each Of these
pens is fused the iridium point, and
then the shapes go to a Sitting ma.
chine. which cut the slit in the pen.
From this Sitting machine the pens
90 through another, which gives them
their rounded, familiar pen form, and
then the pens are ground and polish
ed and finished ready for use.
American gold pens in fountain pens
or as dip pens are sold in every coun.
try In Europe in competition with pens
OF British or of German manufacture.
and under the same competition they
are sold throughout the world. In
South America. Africa. Japan, China.
wherever pens are used.
