THIS is FOR "THE BOYS" AND IT DEALS WITH
AN AUTO RIDE IN A BORROWED" CAR

in the same way who are now down

fences as autO-bandit mUrderers-
There are others who gave up their
lives at the end of the moose. There
are other boys who were shot to
death in the pursuit of them in a
borrowed" car.
Every one knows what big temp
tatiOn an auto standing idle by curb
is. No one denies it. Frequently,
though l am not an adventurous boy,
l have looked with longing and COW
etOus eyes at an auto some one left
idle in the street and have found my
self thrilling over the thought Of
jumping into it and driving away,
speeding out into the country.
But l know alongside of that i'm
pulse just what the punishment is for
such an act, and that it what l am
telling to you. l know, too, all of the
steps that follow the first borrow
ing" There is always a second time
when the impulse is harder to resist
if it has been yielded to in the first
case. There is always detection.
There is always punishment.
You won't be any different from

one Of the boys who started for Pom
tiac Monday after they were
'mugged" and their futures blasted,
and every one of the auto bandits
who are serving life sentences or who
went by the moose into eternity, be-
gan by yielding to that first impulse
to take a car for a ride and bring
it back again"
Before you take your first ride in
the borrowed" car without the own
er's consent, think it over, boys!
Think of all of the road of it and not
just the beginning.
Think of the three boys of whom

or League Veterans Now With Minor Organizations

(By ED G. BARROW, President of the
 International Baseball League.)
 The International league is coming back" this season. It's prospects have not been so bright for long, long time.
 The war is over, confidence is re- stored and the baseball conditions are normal again. Of course, the war caused us some suffering but it won t be long before our organization will be back on the same high plane as before the advent of the outlaws"
 The 1916 makeup of the league will be the same as in the old days-a compact circle made up of the best cities in the East. And so we all are more than hopeful that brighter days have come.
 The return to Newark and Balti- more is gratifying. I am confident that before the season is over the fans in both cities will be completely satisfied with the brand of baseball they will get.
 James Price and Fred Penney, the new owners of the Newark club, have made themselves popular by announc- ing that they will have no major league connections. Another popular move was the decision to play the games in Newark instead of in liar rison. Jack Dunn always gave Bal timore baseball of major league caliber, and with no opposition there this season he is bound to win the fans back to the support of his Ori- oles.
 Richmond no doubt will make @ much better showing in the way of attendance this season. Billy" Smith is a shrewd and capable mana ger, and his hustling qualities will make him popular with the fans.

thin silk, and may be interlined with light muslin.
 In making coats at home it is a good plan to cut the interlining first and, if alterations are found neces. sary, make them when the interlinins has been pasted up and tried on the figure. When the interlining has been made to set as it should, the ma terial for the coat and the lining Is to be cut according to the interlining, which will serve as pattern. Some times the collar is a little difficult to adjust, and sometimes setting the sleeves in properly gives the home dressmaker some uneasiness.
 The coat pictured has a wide belt of serge terminating at each side, where it joins a plaited girdle of silk that extends across the front This is fastened to the belt with a button at both sides and may be left off en-

look for the Virginians to have a very successful season all around
 The change to local ownership has stirred things up in Providence, and the fans no doubt will rally to the support of Billy" Draper, the new owner of the club, who is very popu- lar throughout Rhode Island
 President Chapin of Rochester made a ten-strike when he secured little Tommy Leach to manage the Illus tiers. Tommy has always shown that he possesses managerial ability by the way he has gone about build ing up team for his new boss. The midget" undoubtedly will be just as big a favorite in the International league as he was in the big show.
 Pat Donovan and his champions should have a banner season in Buffa- To, now that they have the field all to themselves there.
 The large number of Canadians that have gone to the war front has made baseball conditions in Toronto and Montreal a little uncertain. How ever, the people of Canada are great lovers of outdoor sports, and they no doubt will patronize the ball games liberally. Baseball is about the only form of outdoor amusement left in Canada that has not been seriously af- fected by the European war. Joe Bir- mingham at Toronto and Dan How ley at Montreal, are both clever and experienced managers, and are backed by real sportsmen, who have shown their Hberality and gameness on many occasions in the past.
 All things considered, the outlook for the International league is very en- couraging.

 Gowdy was bought by the Giants from the Dallas club of the Texas league, and had previously played with Lancaster, in the Ohio State league. Hank stuck with the Giants less than a year, and in July, 1911, McGraw swapped him to the Braves for Charley Herzog. His work at the initial bag didn't make much of an impression on Stallings, and he shipped him off to Buffalo, where he was put behind the bat, and soon be- came the star backstop of the interna- tional circuit. Hank was recalled to the Boston club at the close of the in- ternattonal season.

 It is Manager Fohl's intention to carry only two utility infielders and but one extra outfielder this season.
 Mike O'Neill, the hustling manager of the Syracuse team of the New York State league, now has seven pitchers on his staff.
 Billy Hamilton seems to have the Worcester fans with him. He says he plans to cut out the groucho stuff, once his speciality.
 Johnny Lavan, who played shortstop for the Browns for several years, is apt to beat out Ernie Johnson, who went to the Browns from the Feds.
 'Honus" Wagner during his entire career has never been a holdout. When a guy becomes so proficient that he writes his own contracts it's not neces- sary to hold out.
 Roger Bresnahan thinks he cannot operate a team successfully with only 16 players and he has started a move to have the American association team limit increased to IF.
 Most ball players in the big leagues are superstitious. Jack Fournier feels he is losing base hit when he passes Q cripple without giving him something. The big Frenchman loves his base hits, which is good thing for the crip- pies.
