Ell COLLINS AND FELSCH AFTER
HIGH BATTING MARKS
BY Mark Shields


cast are playing as though they still
believe they will be in the post-sea-
son series for the baseball champion
ship of the world. They are not let
ting their minds dwell on the c6nso-
latisn of a clash with the Cubs for
the comparatively Slender sum such
a tangle would bring.
Each of the trio of leaders was
victorious yesterday, which was all
to the advantage of the Boston Red
Sox. Now the worlds champions
can afford to lose half of their re-
naming ten games, and the White
SOx could do no better than tie for
the pinnacle by taking six out of
seven. That is how mastodonic the
advantage Of the BostOnese is.
Two South Side players are deVot-
ing much time to the collection of
base hits in an endeavOr to boost
their batting marks to a line they
have set as an ambition. Eddie Col
Inns has not been below 300 since he
became big league regular and is
certain to be above that figure this
season, though the road has been
long and rough. But Eddie favors
himself. as young man capable of
hammering the horsehide for some
thing like 1926 or better, and is bent
on reaching that goal.
He has come forward with giant
stride since the Sox came to their
home lot and heard the flap Of pen
nant in the distance. His percent
age was around :28O at that time, but
Eddie plugged manfully on and again
showed himself a money player of
the first water.
Hap FeIsch is another young man
who has set himself batting mark,
the attainment of which will give
him great satisfaction. Hap believes
he should hit 300 or better against

ALVAH WILSON ADVERTISES
HARRISBURG IN FRISCO

hotel men don't write books, not even
hotel booklets. But to hear Alvah
Wilson discourse on the subject is
one OF the privileges of life here
abouts.
"A hotel" says Wilson, "is an in
animate organization. 1t must be
vitalized by personality. And it takes
its personality from the personnel OF
the staff. y hotel is what it's staff is;
neither more nor less. Curiously
men as men pursuing career. They
would smile if you spoke of the hotel
man as a professional Yet success
in the hotel business is only reached
through years of study. The hotel
man must study many things; the
more he knows in all branches of
learning the better for him. Yet
though he possess college degrees that
bespeak years of solid bookish ap-
plication he cannot hope for success
in the hotel world unless he has read
deeply and with understanding in
the greatest book of all, the book of
nature. To read a mans character
in his countenance is all in the days
work with hotel clerk; and likewise
to read a mans wants. Hotel service
Is not merely the instant qualification
of a guests desires; it is also the
anticipation of his unspoken wishes.
The hotel man has a lot of thinking to

also. To make a mistake is mex
cusable; but this need not terrify him
too much, for human nature is not
cruel, and the inexcusable things are
readily condoned provided good will
went with the mistake and goos
humor follows it,"
Alvah Wilson went East this sum-
mer to represent the st. Francis at
the National Hotel Mems Convention
On his way back he stopped off at
Dallas and other cities of Texas to
pass the time of day with some of
the pals he made when he was man
aging the Adolphus He was inter-
viewed by the reporters. One of them
asked him what was his great am
bition in life. Quoth Alvah:
ITO be president, vice president
secretary, treasurer and board of
directors of the Good Cheer Society,""
Does it sound like a pretty speech
signifying nothing? Not to those who
know Alvah Wilson. The Wilson's of
Harrisburg are an old family, and
they possess a family crest though
Alvah keeps it dark. On that crest
is the motto Res non Verba." And
in spreading the propaganda of good
cheer wherever he goes Alvah Wilson
specializes in deeds not words. But
he's modest man, and perhaps I'm
drawing too much attention to him.
Pardon me for pointing.

EDWARD NJ. BIGEIOW

TINE death of Edward NJ. Bigelow.
former State High Commissioner
and recently appointed director
of public works of Pittsburgh, removes
from the service of that city one of its
most distinguished citizens. Mr.. Bige-
low, long before he entered the serv-
Ice of the State. gave to Pittsburgh
its admirable parks and to Allegheny
county system of highways that is
pronounced by experts to be one of the
best in the world.
1t was his work in Allegheny county
that prompted Governor Tener to ap-
point him State Highway Commits
sioner. That his administration did
not produce finished highway system
for the State was no reflection upon
the ability of Mr.. BigeIow, although
people generally expected that of him.
The Legislature loaded upon him a
road mileage of more than 10000
miles and, despite his insistent de-
mands for more money, gave him
scarcely enough to keep in repair half
that length and an insignificant sum
for permanent improvements. Not
wtthstanding that handicap, the truth
is that the splendid work done by the
State Highway Department during the
past two years, under difficult condi-
uons 1t is true, has been largely con-
struction upon the foundation laid by
Mr.. Bigelow. Future generations will
appreciate what he did along that
line.
Mr.. Bigelow was the one man of
Pennsylvania to have a monument
erected in his honor while he was vet
alive. 1t stands at the entrance to
schenley Park, Pittsburgh. as a token
of the love and respect in which he
was held in his home town.

Continued from Yesterday

He asked Alvah Wilson to
go with him. and Alvah was delighted
to go because the new position meant
an opportunity to learn the hotel
business from the front of the house"
as they say. Before that he had been
behind the scenes, and he doesn't IKE
seclusion. AlVah's celebrated man
ner was perhaps not perfect at that
time, but 1t existed and was being
cultivated rapidly 1t impressed
great New York banker who asked
Alvah If he didn't want to quit the
hotel game and try finance. Alvan
thought he did, so he entered one of
the biggest national banks in the
metropolis. He stayed a year. The
time clock regularity of banking irked
him; the thought of passing his life
i'll the midst of long columns of figures
Mortified him. He quit Only one in
cident stands out in Alvah Wilson's
mind when he thinks of that year of
banking; the momentous occasion
when he was brought up on the car
pet by the president of the bank and
requested to explain how he, bank
clerk getting forty-five dollars a
month, could live at 4 fashionable
hotel, wear clothes made by fashion
able tailor and take his luncheon ut
the fashionable restaurant frequented
by the officers of the bank. Alvah
Wilson was not dependent upon his
salary for the luXuries which he per-
mitted himself; but he saw no reason
to explain his private affairs to the
mere president of a bank. So he left
the bank in the lurch and took a
European trip with his mother and
father. The experience of being a
guest at the great hotels of the old
world only stimulated his professional
interest in the business. Neither
banking nor travel could destroy the
old lure. On his return he Joined
the staff of the Auditorium Annex in
Chicago. Then Jim Woods who was
running the Wolcott in New York sent
for his friend and made him room
clerk. Next he became steward and
buyer for the Antlers at Colorado
Springs. Meanwhile Jim Woods
came to the st. Francis, and quite
naturally, asked for the services of
Wilson. 1t was nice, being assistant
manager of the st. Francis under Jim
Woods, but the chance to be man
ager of the big Adolphus at Dallas
was too much of temptation to re-
sist. However, he got tired of that
responsibility, and for the fourth
time Joined up with Jim. And he's
with him now.
Hotel psychology is one of Alvah
Wilson's specialties. He could writ2
book on it, but never will, because

other commodities. After the close
OF the war. South America will buy
where she can buy the cheapest, just
as she has done in the past. Upon
the termination OF the war, when Eu-
ropean ships are no longer needed for
the transportation of munitions and
soldiers. and when the interned Ger
man merchantmen are released, the
usual lines of transportation between
Europe and South America will be
restored, and South America will be-
gin again buying the manufactured
products of the cheap labor of Europe.
We shall lose not only our war order
trade but a large portion OF our mar
ket in South America.
The two successful trips of the sub
marine merchantmen Deutschland
have been sufficient to demonstrate
in very spectacular manner what
will happen in the way OF importa-
ton after the war is over. On her
second trip. the Deutschland brought
securities worth S9,000,000 and a car
go OF goods worth S1.000,o0o. She
did that under the most adverse cir
cumstances that could be imagined.
When million dollar-cargo of goods
can be brought here under such cir
cumstances and sold in our markets,
there can be no possible doubt that
when the war is over. German produc-
ers will be ready and able to sell their
products in our markets in competi-
ton with our own producers, unless
restricted by the re-establishment OF
protective tariff.
Every million dollar cargo of for
eign goods sold here means curtail-
ment OF our own production. With
every reduction of the quantity OF out
put, will go corresponding increase
In the unit cost of production, so that
the American manufacturer will be at
a disadvantage in selling his goods in
South America in competition with
the European manufacturer.
While a protective tariff is primarily
designed to restrict imports, it has the
indirect effect of encouraging exports,
because it enables the American pro-
ducer to operate his factory at full
capacity and produce his commodities
at a relatively lower cost. Operating
at less than full capacity, he cannot
AFFORD to sell his commodities at a
price which will successfully compete
with the manufacturer who pays lower
wages in Europe and Asia.
Whatever one chooses to call it,
either protective tariff or a bar
gaining tariff" 1t is evident that we
shall need some adequate tariff legisla-
ton to secure US against industrial de-
preston after the war is over, unless
we are willing to accept the European
and Asiatic standards of wages and
living.
