Business in Washington during the

trade and the receipt of foreign
money.
The sales of retail merchants in

REASON FRED CLARKE
WILL NOT ACT AS COACH

Manager Fred Clarke. of the Pirates,
criticised because he hasn't gone on the
coaching lines very much this season,
makes this defense:
II am needed more on the bench,
where / can advise the young players
just what to do when they go to bat.
Baseball is. in a large measure. q
game of wits A young player cannot
match wits with a veteran pitcher unless
he is advised. and my duty, as I see it,
is to tip on my youngsters just what they
are to expect. and then advise them how
to beat the veteran.
'It doesn't suffice to tell a younsster
what to do just once or twice. He must
be told again and again until the advice
is indelibly stamped on his brain. And
some youngsters. you know. have brains
that resist advice for a very long time"

When Will Jess Quit.

Jess willard says he intends to quit
boxing "as soon as I get rich" He prob
ably means what he says-that he is in
the boxing game just for the lucre which
it will put in his pockets, and that he
intends to leave it as soon as possible.
This brings up the problem, when
will Willard quit?'' There Is q popular
fallacy that Jess is coming money hand
over fist. The chances are that he Is
making less than he Is given credit for.
The circus with which the big fellow Is
travelling is not paying him as much as
some people might suppose. and sight
must not be lost OF the fact that Jess Is
still in the hands Of a manager, who
never loses sight of his own percentage
of all receipts. Moreover, Willard has
some debts to dispose of before he be-
gins to pile up his fortune. The chances
are that it will be many years before
Jess decides that he Is rich
