Conditions now are beginning to swing
back to where they were before James

short but spectacular career.
One of the latest converts to the
scouting advantages is Charles H Eb-

endeavor Usually he had two or three
pensioners to turn loose in the brush

Luck in the draft accounted for Eb-
bets best players.
Next season the Brooklyn club will
be as well provided with gumshoe men
as any Of the National League. The
Brooklyn president at New Orleans
made arrangements with shrewd minor
league managers to look out for this
end of the business in practically every
minor league of high enough rating to

Some people buy motor trucks be-
cause they are necessary to open up
new territory to trade, or to keep IN
touch with old customers who are
moving away from trade centers in
rapidly growing cities and towns.
Others buy because they have to meet
the superior transportation competi-

others use trucks for their advertising
