The changing conditiong created by
the parcel post have placed the small
merchant and dealer at a disadvantage
compared with the large mail order
houses in the big cities, although new
methods on the part Of the small deal
ers will 90 lar towards reducing the
advantage just mentioned. Changed
conditions require changed methods in
harmony with the new conditions. The
arge dealers will prosper to some ex-
tent, because the large dealers are en-
tie plising. they advertise and push
their business and they have the facili-
ties whereby they can reach the great
mass of the people all over the country
There is only one way for the small
merchants to protect themselves under
these changed conditions, and that is to
Charge their methods Of doing business
and ad ;ust themselves to the new situa-
On. They must adopt the enterpris-
ing methods of the bigger and more
masterful /. ecchants. They must be-
come more progressive, they must adj
vertise more, must study the needs OF
their customers and the needs of the
community and they must supply those
needs. There is only one path to sue
cess. The local merchant must cuiti-
vate friendships in the community;
they must deal squarely with their Gus
toners and gain their confidence in or
der to hold their trade against ousside
competition. If they do this, they will
find that they can hold business
outside competition and they will find
that the parcel post Mill enable them to
reach customers that they could never
reach before. That the local business
men must be alive; they must be active
and enterprisng. They cannot get out
mammoth illustrated catalogues like
those issued by the big department
stores, as the expense OF so dong
would run into the thousands, but they
must advertise and they must keep
everlastingly at it. Mr.. Business Man,
you should burn your name and bust
ness into the public mind so that every
time the people think of anything in
your line they think of your name first.
This is the drawing power, this is the
psychology of advertising.
You must push your business, you
must organize and systematic it and
take advantage of every opportunity to
advertise, because advertising is to
the business man what speech is to tie
human race"
You must treat the public absolutely
on the level. You must make your
customers satisfied. A satisfied GUS
toner is the best adyerts lment. If you
advise an article, tell the truth about il
and sell the article as advertised. II
you sell an article to a customer and It
is defective in any way, or proves I'M
satisfactory, you must make it good; if
you do not, you are sowing the seeds
of your own business ruin.
In this enlightened industrial age, we
cannot afford to attempt to deceive or
cheat the public, and if We do, bank
ruptcy and ruin is our destination.
Therefore, we want to impress W on
every business man who is reader
of The Charlevoix County Herald that
in this enlightened and civilized age, as
business men and business women we
must be liberal, we must be tolerant,
because tolerance is the rising sun of
our twentieth century civilization.

CHANGE LOOKED FOR.
Something Doing With Highlanders,
New Workers Believe.

NEW YORK, November 5.-It has
been declared by American Leaguers
that Ban Johnson would attempt to
freeze OUT Farrell during the special
meeting which begins today 1t was
commended that the American League
has the power to put the New York
franchise on the market and vote the
present holders Of the club out of the
league. There isn't any doubt of Far
relfs determination to stay i'll the
American League. From every point,
excepting the offices of the Yankees,
reports have been circulated within the
last week of the troublesome times
ahead for the present holders of the
New York franchise One of the most
significant points in support of Il now
general belief that there has been a
long and systematic effort made to
weary Farrell of life as an American
League solon is the refusal of the
league to aid the building process in
New York. Last winter the need for
a stronger team in New York was gen
orally recognized, and to ald that
sible for the Yankees to take Jimmy
Walsh and later return that player
and get the services of Pete" Daley.
The Yankees have no manager for
at this time. Not player has been
added to the roster by draft or pur-
chase since the season ended. Whether
this lethargic method is part of the
ownership has not been established as
fact. 1t is evident that If a change
in the ownership Of the Yankees is
brought about during the Chicago
meeting the new holder of the fran
chise will be able to construct team
from bat boy up without being be-
wildered by an abundance of playing
talent of first division class.

BIG BAN PEACEFUL
President Johnson Says He
Has Been Misguided.
MAGNATES ARE IN CHICAGO

Conditions.
MAGNATEs ARE IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO. November 5.-President
Johnson made it clear this morning that
he has been misquoted as to his position
on the proposed peace in base ball
Efforts to make 1t appear that the
American League is opposed to peace in
ba Sc ball have not. been based on fact"
President Johnson said. TT certainly
Will not throw any obstacle in the way
of those who are endeavoring to find
satisfactory remedy for conditions which
every one will admit are bad for the
game" a.
Placing of the ownership OF the New
York club of the American League into
new hands was to be the principal issue
to come before club owners attending
the annual fall meeting of the league
here today.
Admits Transfer Likely.
Regarding the predicted change in the
ownership of the New York Americans.
President 3. B. johnson would only say
that the subject would come I'D for dis
cussion before the meeting adjourned,
and that a transfer of the club into new
hands might take place. President John
son declined to disclose the identity Of
the probable new owners.
1t was said, however, that pressure
would be brought to bear in the hope of
giving New York a. winning combination
The appointment of an aggressive man
ager to fill the place discarded by Frank
Chance and general shake-up of the
club was forecast.
Discussing the probable attitude Of the
American League toward peace" with
the federal organization, President John
son was quoted as saying that the senti-
ment OF the club owners toward the at
tempts being made to settle the existing
tangles IN base ball was favorable, but
Indifferent.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-11-05

1t is matter of fact that the Ameri-
can League has been carrying that
New York. proposition for several
years. The league therefore is in
position to change the head of the
club If it sees fit to do so. OF Farrell is
ousted it does not necessarily mean
that it is the intention to sell the club
to the Wards for the purpose of help
ing to establish peace. 1t is not like
~, in fact, that the American League
would want to give up so good a piece
of property to the enemy But the re-
port that Connie Mack Is preparing to
take charge in New York is very likely
true. Mack, after winning a lot of
pennants and worlds championships
for Philadelphia. fSds that he has lit
tie or nothing to show for his sue
cesseS, and the future promises less.
He is anxious to make a change, and
New fork would be the ideal place for
him. That New. York club has never
beer a source of profit to the Ameri-
can League. The attendance there has
never been what it ought to be when
the great number of people it has to
draw from are considered.
Under Mack, however, there would
be :. change. He would build up a
winner. and every club in the league
would be benefited as a result.
1t is up to the club owners of the
American League to decide whether
their organization shall lend a hand
70 the plans to bring about peace in
base ball. The fact that Ban Johnson
IS quoted as opposing peace. should not
deter the league as whole from TAX
ing such action as it deems best for
its interest and that of the sport.
Aside from the franchise there are
not many valuable assets to that New
York American League club The club
has no grounds and only few of its
PLAYERS can be rated of major league
caliber Just what plans would be pur-
sued in the event of Connie Mack get
ting hold of the club is uncertain. The
only place available for building a
new park is so far from the center
of the city that it would take hours to
go and come. Arrangements to play
the American League games at the
Polo Grounds could no doubt be con-
tinued, though the rental is enormous

GOLFING HINTS.
Nv .sTRAIGHT DRIVE"

SMOOTH SHOES. - Nowadays
nearly all golfers use shoes with
hobnails or rubber soles. which
give them a particularly firm grip
on the ground. Naturally this
produces tendency to press, for
which / know of no better cure
than an occasional round in ordi-
nary walking shoes.
Robert Maxwell, a former Brit
ish amateur champion, was much
given to this sort of variety of
footgear and some of his best
golf was done when playing cas-
lily in smooth soled shoes.
With ordinary shoes the golfer
plays well within his power or
otherwise he would lose his bal
an:e. This necessity of eliminat-
int: much of the power ordinarily
put into the stroke is conducive
to accurate and satisfactory
shooting where there has been
an inclination to press.

JAMES ALLOWS ONE HIT.
Leads All-Americans to Victory Over

SAN FRANCISCO, November 5.-The
All-Americans defeated the All-Nationals
here yesterday by the score of to l.
James of the st. Louis Americans was
In excellent form and held the Nationals
to one lone hit. This, combined with a
base on balls and an error. gave the
losers their only run. This was James
second triumph in his last two games.

1t Is understood that the New YORK
Americans had to pay the National
use of the Polo Grounds.
In arranging their peace plans the
magnates of the two warning factions
will have many angles to consider, but
the one which will require the most
consideration concerns the ball player.
If organized base ball allows the
players who violated their contracts
to return to the fold great injustice
will be done those players who proved
their loyalty by signing for less money
than they could have obtained from
the outlaws.
There are many such instances, and if
the Jumpers are to be allowed to return
to their old clubs without as much as
being fined it would have a tendency
to encourage players to jump for high
er salaries the next time an independ-
ent movement develops.
Those players who went to the Fed
eral League on long-term contracts at
high salaries protected themselves
against the league falling, and can COL
lect every penny their agreement calls
for. They. too. will have to be taken
care of. Making peace this time is
more difficult and intricate than it has
ever been on former occasions.
When the National and American
leagues got together some twelve years
ago, the National conceded all the play
ers the American had corralled. Now it
is different, There is no room for third
league. and the peace plan is to wipe
out the Federals. Just what DISPOSE
ton will be made of the players of
| that organization will prove one Of the
interesting problems.
| One great question has been settled
by the Federal war. regardless of
| whether peace is declared or the war
| goes on. There are not enough good
| bali players in the country for three
major leagues.
For several years it has been argued
whether there were enough stars to
give two major league teams well
balanced clubs. There was some doubt
about it, but it has been absolutely
proved that there are not enough GOOD
players to fit out three major leagues.
| The 1914 campaign proved that the
| material is lacking. The young play
| ers were given a chance where the vet
Grams jumped. Many of them were car
| ried. though they had nc ability, be-
cause it was not policy to turn players
loose. Yet but few were developed.
and the argument that there are hard
| ly enough good players for two leagues.
| let alone three, was absolutely
strengthened.

District League by Good
Margins.

The Jeds won three more games In
the District Duckpin League last night.
the Contenders being on the short end
OF the score. The winners rolled for
more than 500 in each Of their con-
tests, but the losing club failed to
reach that figure in any.

for the Jeds. Both players did well, al
though neither rolled as high as he has
done in previous games. Wright.s best
mark was 100, and he got 11e and SO

clubs, in fact. Tho Nationals best con-
test was 554. while the Capitol Hills
rolled one but four pins less than that
figure, Eiseman and George starred
for the winners, though the set of
neither was much above the average.
Eiseman rolled games Of 100, 80 and
1870, while George got marks Of 10a.
105 and 131. The SGT obtained by
George, $40, was the highest of tho
match. Riston did some good bowling
for the Capitol Hills. getting scores of
100. 80 and 102.
The ]. r. Freeman team took three
straight games from the Columbus in
the Georgetown Commercial League
mainly by reason of good rolling by
Freeman and Holt. The former had

ley was the best of the losing players,
with 120, 1O2 and 100.
Treasury Is Defeated.

out of three from the Treasury. in the
departmental League, though it was
| by a very small margin that it took
the long end of the score in the second
contest-523 to 522. Ferguson and
Mikesell did some fine work for the
winning club, the former getting marks
of 100. los and 124 and the latter 1Ol,
123 and 100. Slye and Reif led the
losers with sets of 331 and 314. Slye
had two good games, 1874 and lit, but
fell down in his other. rolling for only ,
80. Reiff was consistent, having 101 in
each of two contests and 112 in the
third.
The Star quint lost to the Southern
Railway outfit in the Commercial
League by one game to two. 1t was
that turned the trick for the Railroad
ers. as The Star lost in that round by
margin of only four pins. Whitford

for the newspaper team, but Baum did
the most consistent bowling.
