 Credit" says Webster, "has done more a thousand time to enrich the nations than all the mines in the world" Credit spans rivers, opens mines, builds railroads, moves com merce and wages war. Our whole business structure rests upon it. For every extension of credit there mus: be a debt, and there can be no credit where there is no debt.
 Debt is not dishonorable; the abuse of credit is. The man who runs ! in debt is not business offcast, bus sensible man-proved he uses his credit aright. There are some forms of debt to he encouraged; there are others to be avoided. To buy house with mortgage on it is commend able; but 70 buy an automobile from the proceeds of 8 mortgage On your house ought to be a disgrace. To run a grocery bill is no crime; to fail to pay as you agree ought to be. To furnish your house on the install . ment plant may be the best thing you ever did-some people could not have a home any other way; but t' buy clothes On a dollar week in- stallment plan is financial suicide.
 Strange as it may seem, those who have operated on the pay-as-you-gc- plan find it difficult wheu they must ask for credit. The trou- ble is, they have done nothing to establish their credit This is par t;cularly true in large citi2s where ones habits are not well known, but in small places reputation as cash customer soon gets to be com mon property. At any rate it is a good plan to deal on credit for the sake of the time when you may need accc cmmodation.
 One of the Lest known public, &C., ccuntants ill Niw York states that early in life hc saw the time coming when he would need to, borrow, and concluded to establish his credit beforehand. He kn2w that if he bor- rc wed and paid promptly, he would soon have good credit, and six pc; cent. for credit is cheap. And So he opened a bank account, got in fsvoI with his banker, borrowed but paid punctually, until he was we'll regard ed as credit risk.
 The time came when he needed money to financs his undertakings, and he found no trouble in getting what he wanted, because he had |cstablished himself as safe bor- rowcr.
 Guard your credit as you guard Nolir hcalih. It will. always he q good friend to you and never deser' you. Borrow when you must, but pay as you agree-there is no othei | way. MShC yOul WOAu oo SOSA o> your bond Treat your delS.s as sacr:d obligations. Don't "walch" or your business transactions. Play tho man. Don't let the lender do all. the worrying over the debt, do some yourself. Don't lc. it go at that, but worry to a certain result. Don't think for momcnt your creditor has for gotten your debt, ID matter how ok We never forgel such things.
 When you must borrow, do not ge to your friends, but find some organized agency (thsy exist in every large city) that makes lending : business. If your proposition is good, and you can qualify, you car get your loan, and it will be colo business proposition, satisfactory tt both.
 Next to good bank account, gool credit is your best friend. Guard i as such. A. E. A.

 Last year. after coming all the way from Cuba. PaInero was farrned out to the Toronto Internationa1s, and they in turn sent him to their farm, the Toronto club of Ithe Canadian League.

SIGN UP
 10 YEAR OED BOY AS NEW PITCHER

New York. Aug. 27-John J Me Graw, manager of the Giants. has just signed the youngest ball player ever placed under. any form of con tract by a big league club; and while it may be two or three years before the lad appears in a championship game, some idea of the exceptional promise he has displayed may be gathered from the fact, that the Giant leader is taking him on so early.
 Waite Hoyt. of Brooklyn is the youngster He is IS years old, but large for his age, and weighs around 165 pounds. He is a pitcher.
 SAIcGraw was so struck by the gen eral form of the boy, especially. his motion and his control, that he drew up an agreement with Waiteis father, Arthur Hoyt, whereby the Giants are to have the services of the lad when he is oId4 enough to be used.
 Young Hoyt. who now appears in a Giant uniform every day at the Polo Grounds, is a student at Bras mus High School and was a pitcher on the Erasmus team last year

ANNIVERSARIES
 or RING BATTLES

1894 - Jack McAuliffe defeated Yours Griffo in 10 rounds at Coney Island. That Twas Williamsburg Jacks last important appearance in the role of lightweight champion. Soon after defeating the clever Aus tralian, Jack retired from the ring and handed over his title to Kid La vigne. Friffo, whose real name was Albert Grifffths, and who was a native of Sydney, AustraliaI has been declar- ed by many experts to have been the cleverest fighter who ever wore a glove. His defeat by Jack McAuliffe was the first of his career, although he had been fighting in Australia znd America, for several years, ana had bested scores of good men, some much larger than himself. Griffo had been in America about a year at the time he fought McAuliffe, and had fought draws with Kid Lavigne George Dixon, Tommy White, SolIy Smith and Johnny Griffin, and had. defeated Ike Weir and Australian Billy Mur- phy, both former featherweight champions. Griffin was not defeated again for five years, when he lost to Joe Cans.
 1894 = George Dixon defeated Johnny Griffin in 5 rounds at Boston.
 1900-Tommy West defeated Joe Wa1eott in II rounds at New York.

Wagner's Watch Tower

Mana ger McGraw of the Giants is reported as being very sore at the tactics of other National league clubs in snapping up his discarded players That is the reason why he refuses to give Marquarda his unconditional re- lease. Marquard is said to get a salary of $T,500 a year and no other club wants to assume this contra ct. For that reason all clubs waived on Ma1quard. But if he were released the old contract would 'besinValid and he could be signed at a lower figure The .Phillies and Braves are said O Ebe willing to take a chance on Mar quard when he is a free agent.
 The cases Of Murray and Snodgra5s have. undoubtedly aroused McGraWs s anger. These two men couldn'A hit the weight of a straw hat when with the Giants, so when waivers were ask ed nobody claimed them. But when released the outfielders had no diff cu1ty getting jobs at lower salaries and have been playing fine ball ever since. This has caused the fans to criticise McGraw for letting the men go.
 He thinks that if a club wants one of his players it should claim him at the waiver price of $1,50o instead of waiting to get the man for nothing. Another reason for his desire to send Marquard to Toronto is the fear that the Rube might pitch like whirl- wind if signed by sthe Phillies or Braves Then the fans would roast McGraw.
 The Remington Arms and the Rosebud baseball teams have agreed to play a series of three games. The first contest will be played next Sun day at Newfield park. The Rosebuds have made a good record this season and are confident of flcleaning up the Factory leaguers. . The Remington boys say they will have a Sinch with the Rosebuds.

MARQUARD IS
 TRYING TO 60
 WITH OUTLAWS

New York; Aug. 27.-Rube Marqe1ard may have been released by the Giants to the Toronto club of the Interna- tional league, but according to Rube that fact isn't going to drive him to the Doninion city Rube refuses to play with Toronto. That was the way he felt about the release yesterday John A1cGraw, on the other hand. in sists that Marquard gq rtqfToronto.
 The Giants will not give Rube his unconditional release, as they did to Murray and Snodgrass and Mar ouardss interpretation of the attitude l toward him is that McGraw sis sting ing under the criticism that has been heaped upon him for the release of Murray and Snodgrass. both of whom have been making good, Murray with the Cubs and snodgrass with the e sElAna2ls a EEg2ls Is x1tR the Giants thatzfends some credence tosthe report thatsthere is more involved in the Tor { onto transaction than merely the re- lease Of Rube.

Philadelphia. Pa. Aug 27,-I4ais stuffy McInnis. star first baseman of the Athletics. and the only cog in the famous s1oo, ,ooO infieId, jumped to the Federals.
 This is the puzzling question among basebalI fans in this city who have followed the. breaking up of the old Mack team. ssesrlfs-s
 McInnis is not with the Athletics in St. Louis. A letter mailed to him has been returned to the wrtier in Phila- delph1a. Z It is said that Connie Mack has wired to various points in the country in an effort to locate his star.
 It is a known fact that B. c. Gordon, "a representative of the Wards in Brooklyn. interveiwed McInnis three days before, the team left for the West, and that an attractive offer was made. In fact, McInnis said at the time:
 T am deeply grateful for what Con nei Mack has done for me, but have received an offer that it would be hard to turn down."
 - It is believed in some circles that McInnis has joined, or will join, the Brooklyn Feds team.
