|SCHUPP IS awake.
He Is One Giant Pitcher Who'll
Bear Watching This Season.
Critics Consider Him One of
Best Bets McGraw Now Has.
BY JACK VEIOCK.


New York, Feb. 19.-One day last
s+inmer, when the Giants were at
their worst, John McGraw split up
pair of cronies. He sent one of these
lads 10 Louisville and gave the other
osfe the kind of a cali down that only
EseGraw can deliver.
That pair of cronies were none 9TH
er than Rube Schauer and FERDINAND
Schupp, called the "schush twins"
schauer was sent to the Louisville
Cstonels and Schupp was told that
iiew as getting his last chance. He
must either make good or it would
he back to the tall and uncut timber
Tor his.
From that time on Ferdie Schupp
got wise to himself. Up to the time
he was handed that memorable SER
ron Ferdie had taken life as more
Of a Joke than anything else. The
fact that the Giants were going bad
was nothing in his gay, young exist
ence.
But McGraw Strengthened out his
ideas of the order of things on a big
league club. and Schupp came to him
self.
Fcrd's Awakening.
When Ferdie first broke into the
big league he was a "cocky" youth.
He knew he had a curve ball and he
liked to have someone watch him
throw. But when he got under lire
he forgot his curves, retained his
cockiness and was often driven from
the box.
It is surprising to think back and
recall the fact that this care-free
youngster played a very prominent
part in the worlds record string OF
victories scored by the Giants. That
he was sent to the mound six times
I'd pitched six straight victories OF
he twenty-six scored by New York

That he was never relieved in one
of his six games and that he won
four of them by the shutout route
But that is exactly what Ferdie
Schupp did, and today he is looked
upon as one of the most valuable
young pitchers in the big leagues.
Certainly he is the best bet Nc
Graw owns. and great things may be
expected of him during the coming
season, for he has learned how to
fruits of victory and fame. From
now on Ferdie Schupp will look at
pitching for the New York Giants as
very serious business and he will
put everything he has into every
game.
He Started Record Run.
1t was Schupp, by the way, who
started the Giants on their record
| breaking string of victories. and it
was Schupp who pitched the twenty
sixth game.
by Schupp he allowed the opposition
but seventeen hits and only three
runs. He allowed two of these runs
to the Pittsburg Pirates on Septenl Der
Is. and the other lonely tally was
made by Brooklyn in the first game
September Z.
His six victories came within a

games he won were the first, seventh

twenty-sixth in the Giants great
string.
Here is Schupp's record for the
record breaking series, and it is one
of which he may well be proud:

Why Does The Government
Sell Bonds?

The sinews of war are men. muni-
tons and money. The greatest imme-
diate need of the United States today.
to render the best help to her Allies. is
money.
This money can be raised by the
government by borrowing and by tax
ing. The United States is at present
employing both methods. Borrowing
by means of the Liberty Bonds is
method of securing immediate funds for
the prosecution of the war and spread
ing the burden of repayment over a
period of from | 5 to 80 years; when. it
is hoped, world civilization will be in
a happier state than now. Taxation
does not bring in the funds as quickly
as bond issues, but nevertheless it helps
to pay off Immediately large part of
the current expenses of the Govern
ment.
1t is this Governments avowed in
tention to put the burden of our share
in this struggle for Democracy as far as
possible on the present generation and
not to shift our troubles on to our
children. That is why. the Liberty
Bonds are issued with maturity of
only 80 years and a large part of the
current expenses will be taken care of
by taxation.
This is sound reasoning. as we can
we'll stand the burden. 1t will keep our
country in healthy financial condition
for the keen world competition in busi-
ness which we must face after the war.
Are you doing your share to straight
en- out this world struggle in the right
way by subscribing for the Liberty
Bonds? r'

4 \ Loan our Government offers
you a splendid opportunity to
save and to invest, and in so doing you
can show the love you bear toward
your country and her ideals of Dem
ocracy.
During this War, Great Britain has
already created two large loans of FIVE
billion dollars each, and, for the last
one, subscriptions were received from
about eight million different buyers.
The French people are known as the
greatest government bond buyers in the
world.
Fifty years ago we raised over three
billion dollars to provide for the ex-
penses of the Civil War.
The wealth of this country today is
eight times as great as it was then; our
banking resources are twenty times as
great as then or even as late as 1870.
Soon after the beginning of the
Spanish War, our Govern
ment offered for sale 200 million dol
lars $50 bonds, which were oversub-
scribed w times. This was equivalent
to subscriptions totaling about 81, ,400.-
100000.
Can it be that we love and appre-
ciate our country to less degree than
England or France? Is it conceivable
that we have lost our enthusiasm for
our Government ideals since 1864, or
even since 1898?
1t is estimated that there are now
more than 10 million individuals and
corporations in the United States in
position to subscribe from 500 to
$1O0,0O0.O00 cash to the new Liberty
Loan. You are one of these indi-
viduals.
How The Liberty Loan Must Be
Subscribed To Make 1t
Successful
The Liberty Loan of two billion dol
lars will be fully subscribed.
But its success will not be dependent
on it's being fully subscribed.
1t will be successful only if it is sub
stantially oversubscribed and if the
money comes from the right sources
What are the right sourcesa
The best source is the idle money
now kept in safe deposit boxes and at
home. At the same time. the person
who has money in his safe deposit box
can immeasureably better his position
by buying these Government Bonds.
He will receive at least 3N9o on his
money, which is not earning anything
now for him. He will lose nothing in
security. These bonds may be regis
tered to prevent loss by theft.
The next best source is current saw
ings. This applies to the rich and to
the poor. 1t is just as necessary for you
with an income of $1,000 year to
subscribe for your share of the Liberty
Bonds as for John D. Rockefeller to
take 5 millions of the bonds out of his
current savings.
When you buy Liberty Bond. you
are saving part of your income ex-
