TO TURN TO

In its literal sense the verb "adver-
dse" means to turn to.
The manufacturer who uses the
printed word seeks to turn public
attention to his goods.
The retailer advertises to turn
people toward" his counter.
That counter is the ultimate meeting
place where the results Of both the
manufacturers and dealers sales ef-
forts must be measured.
Newspaper advertising proves the most efec-
tive for the manufacturer because it sends Gus
toners direct to the dealers counter.
The dealer in turn co-operates with this ad-
vertisng because he can make this trade turn
Il" his store.

Licensed Gesha Garden of Where Drinking Seen
Its Worst.

Japan is coaxed into drinking by
dainty geisha, so he will not drink, as
a general rule, without geisha around
him. And the result is that there are
approximately 3O,386 geisha or dane
ing girls licensed in the country ana
in addition 5O,553 licensed fallen
women. It's only very little step
from the geisha class to the other.
And Furthermore and this is sad
dest feature of ito be properly
trained as geisha, girls of from II to
Is years are demanded. This keeps
a certain class of men and old wom-
en- busy securing the country for
girls whom they buy from their pa
rents for a term of years - usually
seven. It isn't exactly recognized
legally, but then they are really sold
by the parents. It's been a custom.

CALvO HEART:BROKEN
YOUNG BALL PLAYER
Marriage Postponed Because
He Failed to Hit Over 200
In Northwestern League.

.Iacinto Del Calvo 10 a broken-heartcd
young man.
A recent letter from the little Cuban
outflelder. who Is wiptering in Havana,
Cuba. contained the interesting state
ment that his girl refused to merry him
upon his return home at the end OF the
season, all BECAUSE he did not hit over
.290 last year.
That certainly is tough luck for the
little Cuban ball player. All through
tho season he kept close tab on his base
was we'll above the required mark. but
fell into a slurIp during the fag end
and returned home down in the mouth.
This Is the most peculiar event that
has happened in baseball ii recent
yeara. Never before has a ballplayer
been turned down by the girl he loves,
and who loves him. merely because he
could not wallop the ball to her desires.
When Calvo left his home at Havana
last spring to join the Los Angeles CLUB
in spring training his little sweetheart
promised to marry him at the close of
the season providing he had batting
average OF .290 when he returned home
but, the worst is yet to come, he hit
but u little over 80 in the North western
League, and his inspiration absolutely
refused to listen to his statements re-
garding his hitting. and now CalvO Is
keeping his feet warm by his own fire
place, and does not share the warmth
with what could have been his wifc.
Tho Cuban persuaded her to accept his
Pacific Coast League batting average,
but she said nothing doing. so it Ia up
to Culvo to walt another season before
winning his fair scnortta.

One Of the attractive features of the

tournament to be held in Boston on
May !. which was pointed out to the
Washington bowiers by Secretary John

the ample arrangement whick has been
made to substitute medals and trophies
Of various natures for cash prizes where
rolling fcr money is Objectionable.
Many of the best bowlers in the coun-
try" said Donovan. "are also far up
in other athletic endeavor, and because
Of the strict ruling Of the Amateur Ath-
ietic Union. do not wish to jeopa rdize
their amateur standing to the extent OF
bowling for money.
IAN Of these cases will be considered
by tho entry committee, and where de-
sirable cups plaques. and other trophies
will be substituted for the cash awards, -
concluded the general secretary.
Most of yesterday was devoted to the
calling on league presidents and the sup
porters generally of bowling by Donovan
and his cohort. Roy Booth, OF Boston Lat e
In the Afternoon they left for Ihiladel-
phia, where an enormous meeting of A.

and Booth were scheduled to address
this session. after which several other

whipped into line. Later Donovan will
return to Boston where he will begin
the applying of finishing touches to tour

 HIT ALMOST WINS
 FOR YANKEE TEAM

Boston, Mass June 30-Wild Bill Donovan had his day at F'enway Park yesterday afternoon, a thousand fans coming up from Providence to cheer on the leader of last years In- ternatona1 League champions. Coy ernor Beeckman of Rhode Island was on hand, and so was Mayor Gainer, and there were many celebrities be- sides. But Bills team, the Yankees were unable to beat the Red Sox, even though they finally got to Bi1Fs s old enploye, Babe Ruth.
 The Red Sox won, but 1t took them tan innings. and in the tenth a spaen- did horseshoe, fin the character of a huff by Leslie Nunamaker at the plate, allowed the Sox to tie the score and provided the opportunity for teTr4st' Speaker to hammer out his fifth consecutive single against Ray Caldwell and to win the game to 3.
 The real game started when the Yankees came in for their final bat ting session, in the ninth, and, with the Donovan party from Provi idence roofing it's head off for New York, the Tanks then proceeded to tie up the game. Ruth began by passing Daley, w9ao was batting for Hartzel1, Boone then flying out to Hooper and Gardner making g. ratt1fng running play on a, swift shot from Nunamaker. Ray Caldwell needed no substitute and Ruth kept the balls wide, finally passing him. Then High came through with 8 scorching double down the Ieft-ffeEd foul line, Daley who had stolen third, scoring easily and Caldwell, by some tall sprfnting managing to come all the way around from first base with the tying run.

COURTNEY, COACH
 OF CORNELL, HAS
 FRACTURED SKULL

Ithaca June 30-ChaEaes D. Court ney. t7re veteran Cornell rowing coach, whose Varsity eight won a, thrilling victory in the intercollegiate regatta, on the Hudson, Monday, is in the City Hospital here suffering from a. frac- ture of the skull. While his condi- ton is serious the physicians in att tendance are confident of his reoov- cry.
 He received the injury on June 12 when accompanying the Cornell crews to their quarters at PougEkeepsie. A 1urch of the train caused his head to strike heavily against one of the berths.s While he was stunned for the moment, nothing of a serious nature was associated with the accident.
 After his arrival at Pol1ghkeepsie however, Courtney many times was troubled by heTnmorages from the nose and mouth. but he refused to consult a physician feeling certain that he would be ordered home or at least to bed just when his crews most needed his services.
 Though suffering 'keenfy he still per- formed his duties as coach but on race day he was confined to his bed and fmrn ed1ate1y after the conclusion of the regatta was conveyed to Ithaca where an exarrltnat1on showed a. frac- tue at the base of the skull. Abso- 1ute rest, it is believed, will work a cure without resort to an operation.
