MACK DISCOVERS TWO STARS
Pilot Of Athletics Lands promis-

II Connie Mack's plans work out the
fans a couple OF years hence viii be
speaking of Grover and Witt as one
OF the greatest defensive keystone
sack combinations in baseball
Since he has been in baseball
Mack has succeeded in developing two
great combination around second
base. Murphy and Monte Cross and
Collins and Barry. Just now he is
irving TO get the same kind OF com
bination out OF his two young inheld-
ers. who already show signs OF future
brilliance.
Both Witt and Grover are very
young. This year is the latter's first
break into major league circles. Witt
played last year. Although they do
not show the polish Of many older in
fieIders in the league. they do show
they are developing along the same
lines that made the Collins-Barry
combination fatal to anything hit
down i'm their territory.
Their cooperation is superb and
they think quickly, grasping situations
more quickly than many other short
stops and second basemen OF far more
experience. Mack is very confident
Ct their ability to ultimately produce
the same kind OF fine, tight inheld
play that he developed in the Cross
Murphy. Collins.Bauy combinations
ct takes more than mechanical
ability to produce the proper results
around second base Mack said. III
takes brains and ability for close co
operation. believe | will get all
three in Witt and Grover"
II is one of Macks beliefs that a
great BAH club cannot be developed
without great second base oombina
tioini.
lie cites Ferris and Parent of the
old Boston club, Cross and Murphy
and Collins and Barry Of his own
clubs. Tinker and Eyers of the Cubs
Barry and Scott of the Red SoX, and
Maranville and Eyers Of the 1914
Braves. To these might be added
Schaeffer and O'Leary OF Detroit for
several years considered one of the
best second base combinations in the
American league. and who were in nc
small degree responsible for Detroit
winning the American league ilag
three years in succession
II Is difficult to judge the effective
ness OF an innelder under the present
system OF averages, but records show
the number Of chances made by the
nelders who have passed from the
game and whose real work Is only
memory. The combinations Just men
toned handled everything that came

missed, and the records show that the
really tight infleld is often an inield
with more errors than one which does
not play such tight baseball.
The records uphold Mack's conten-
ton that the great bali club must
have great second baseshortstop
combination. Mack has been great
developer OF inielders. In addition to
his shortstops and second bIsemen he
developed two great third hasemen,
Lave Cross and Frank Baker and is
now making good third sacker OF
Ray Bates. sent back 10 the minors
from Cleveland as a misft, He made
two great initial sackers, Harry Davis
and Stufy Mclnnis
Past history has often repeated in
baseball. DO not be surprised II
Mack comes through with another
fast second base combination.

FACING THE CAMERA.
Don't Dress Up and Don't Pose When
Having a Picture Taken.

There are many things | would like
TO say TO the woman who intends hay
ing her picture taken" said famous
photographer the other day
MANY women come to me and say:
or course you prefer taking actresses.
They must have many advantages over
those women who never have time but
TO give an occasional glance in their
mirrors. This Is entirely Il mistake
The conscious pose never makes sat
isfactory portrait. l would say en-
phatically to the woman who goes to
have her photograph made not TO re-
hearse her pose and facial expression
beforehand.
IL always find II difficult TO impress
on the woman coming TO my studio
that clothes and jewels are of abso-
lutely no account IN photograph. If n
woman comes 10 be photographed In
the clothes she is used to wearing she
will feel at ease aud therefore look her
best.
one OF the curses Of our present day
civilization is the ever changing Gues-
ton of fashion How much more civ
il.zcd were the Japanese. who realized
that the kimono was perhaps the most
perfect dress for women at all times
who only varied II with different bro
eadcs and girdles. The photograph that
concerns itself with clothes is soon out
OF fashion, and no matter how good n
likeness Of the face has been obtained.
the picture Is grotesque In few years
because the clothes are passe."

If He Talked to YOU About Your Busine
''SURE," you say---
and then forget it?

Advice is the cheapest and least valued commodity
on the market-except when you buy It from lawyer
doctor an expert But john Wanamaker Is an
expert In his line and YOUR line He is more than that
he is practical and shining success. Ele had brains
and energy and nerve start with He capitalized all
three Of them Most people have brains in some measure
and quality; not so many energy still lever have
NERVE Maybe you have all three. But il So are
YOU capitalizng all of them? Is not just possible that
YOU are actually using only very small part OF either?
Wake up!
John Wanamaker is known as the Merchant Prince,
because he has made extraordinary OF his
chandsng business (No no; don't whin,; he had no
capital or opportunity 10 start with than have you)
He Is also known The Greatest Advertiser OF Them
ALL Now do you think there is any direct connection
between the two distinctions? Let Nh. Wapamaker him
self answer:
When my little store closed is doors
upon its fest days business. away back
in 1861. the sum of $24 OF was found
in the old fashioned till under the coun-
ter" iohn Wanamaker told the conven-
ton of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World in convention assembled in
the good old town of Philadelphia with
the biggest men of the country including
President Wilson, president) That
wasn't very big start, was it! Buc did
John Wanamaker whine and sink the
little bit of money? Not bit of it. Here
is what he says he did at the close of that
eventful first day that showed Wans-
makers NERVE and DETERMINED
HIS FUTURE:
The OF cents was left in the till for
making change next morning, and the
$24 was saken out and spent with the
NE~ SPApERS for advertising to tell
the people that my new store open
and doing business, and had good stock
of goods useful TO the public
That Is what made John Wanamaker merchant
prince. He had lle stock ct goods pretty good
stock # brains, larOe stock Of energy and GREAT
BIG STOCK OF NERVE Mos other merchants would
have played up their fear and doubt; would have sunk
The $40 left the so Tor change and spent II
for advertising and then complained If the people did
overrun ther store result Ut their advertising cam

Is this little story of John Wanamakers start toward

WHAT WAR MEANS TO US

Late developments on the western
front in France and the receipt Of
messages from General Pershing that
men of the engineer corps have paid
the price of life on the alter Of lib
erty, brings close TO Us in Brookings
the awfulness of war. We have a
townsboy in that regiment Of engl-
neers made up Of men who enlisted
in New York. That regiment, seems
from the reports, 10 be n that has
received its baptism of fire and death.
Every report of the names of men
who have suffered in that attack near
Cambria has raised the wonder if the
Brookings boy was M Of those who
paid the price. SO far We feel that
he is safe. Last week his father had
a cable from him that he was all right.
and we Of the city, where this boy
has grown up TO the measure Of q
man. still hope that while H. does his
work in the complete way in which il
is his custom 10 perform a duty, h.
will be spared TO be our representative
In the front lines Of the army that
fight for freedom. Brookines and her
people must feel with 6 +. Knappen

safety Of their son, Russell. He Is
their son, but he IS also our boy. Our

tangible protest 20 the ruthlessness OF
German warfare. His safety is more
TO US thar the safety Of any other
man in that night for be is our boy,
our citizen. our representative. May
