IRON Man COOMBS
0 UT FOR VICTORY
FROM The RED S0x
"At Their Threats All the
Tine" Declares Jack, and
Finds Nothing to Fear in Bos-
ton Team

New York. Oct 5.-Wilbert Robinson,
manager of the Brooklyn National
League club, will put his regulars against
New York in the game in BROOKLYN this
afternoon as a final workout for the open
ing of the worlds series at Boston on
Saturday.
We are going out to win and I think
we can do it, said Robinson. Our team
has played good ball all season, and we
held the lead almost all the way through
except for day two here and there
We measure up to the Red Sox and with
our team playing its best ball right now
there is no reason why it can't win. Wen
show the fans some real playing. Mar
guard, Coombs. Cheney, Pfeffer and
Smith will show them some pitching. and
we are not worrying"
'Rube" Marquard, who is reported to
have been selected to pitch the opening
game for Brooklyn, said he was in top
form and that Brooklyn is going to win
This team has nothing to fear from
Boston," he added I'VE measure right
up to their standard in every depart
ment and, believe me, we are going to
trim them. All hope is that can pitch
the same sort of ball that l have been
pitching during the last couple of weeks"
I'VE will be right at their threats all
the time" declared Jack Coombs. IF
anyone believes Boston is going to ride
right over us he is reckoning without
men of the stamp of Jake Daubert.
Pfeffer, Marquard and Chief Meyers"
The first big wager here on the
worlds series was announced today
when it was stated that f. f. Smath-
ers, the owner of fast horses, has
placed $4,000 to S140O on the Boston
Americans to win. \ number of smaller
wagers at 10 to were reported.
1t was announced that the four UNI
pires chosen for the worlds series
would meet in Boston today to agree
upon a uniform Interpretation of rules.
The 'inf1eld fly" is one point upon
which an agreement is desired be-
cause, in the American League a run
ner must hold his base on such a fly,
while in the National League he can
run at his own risk

Kennebec Journal Ads
Give Practical Helps

A advertising took on this char
" acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform,
it gained readers. usewives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modlties and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of "business Methods
at last felt the impulse toward eff
ciency The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with e.
fciency and economy and wise judg-
ment. Thus the circle of people in-
fiuenced by advertising widened and
expended in a greater degree.
And the expansion Of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are Influenced
in their buying by the ADVERTISE
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.

T1ME was and within the memo
ries of many of US, when but a
few people read advertisements
land those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found it's

Much Of it was neither informing

AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising mp roved,

to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.
