John McGraw Clarence Rowland Promise Be Main Cogs in Coming Clash for Title-Style of Play
 Exactly Different

New York September 2S.-Althougf the activities of Clarence Rowland o1 the Chicago Americans or Manager John J. McGraw of the New York Nationals will carry them beyond the confines oi the coacher's box they will be factors of extreme importance in the coming world series between these two clubs Differing widely in both their methods of baseball strategy and personal con trol of players these two diamond lead CTS have achieved marked distinction during their careers as player and man ager
 Of the two, McGraw has had the longer experience and record in connec- tion with professional baseball and there are few men serving in this capacity today who can be said to rank with the manager of the Giants. Rowland, on the other hand, while comparatively newcomer among the leaders of major league teams has flashed across the horizon of the national game like me- teor, his short career in the American league coming to the present climax with the capture of a penhant at the end of his second season with the club owned by Charles Comiskey.
 The manager of the New York club is the older of the two, having been born at Truxton, N. r., in 1S73 while Rowland's birth occurred at Platteville, Wis, six years later. McGraw also en- tered upon his baseball training some B seasons before the White Sox leader made his debut in professional circles. The Giants diamond director began his first real play with the Orleans club or the New York State league in lSg0, while 1t was not until 1908 that Row the Dubuque, Ia, club of the Three-l league
 MIGRANTS STYLE OLD
 It has been said of McGraw and not without truth, that he learned his game in the old school of baseball He has, however, never ceased to study the many angles and details of the sport, and is as quick to see the advantages or new play as he was 20 years ago. There is little in the wide field of base bali strategy that McGraw does not know and several Of the best pieces of So-called ilnSlue DdSepdH dl tiic uA rect result of careful study on his part. It is not surprising, therefore, that Mc- craw should have confidence in his ability and Judgment and demand ex- plicit obedience to his instructions.
 Mcgraw has been called hard task master by some of the players who have positions under him but he has never shirked responsibility when disaster has marked his efforts or attempts to out wit the opposing team. Few moves on the part of a prayer will arouse greater wrath in McGraw than the delperate ipnoring of his instructions while at the

Howard college will open the 1917 foot ball season for Birmingham this after noon when the Baptist aggregation will clash with. the strong team of Blounts- vile Aggies. The game is scheduled to start promptly at 3 o'clock on the How ard athletic field.
 Coach ,Longwell has his men in good shape for the fray, and although Baptist supporters are confident of victory, the scrappy leader of the local even states that he Is expecting hard battle Coach Longwell has been working his men ex- ceptional hard for the past week.
 The Aggies are coached by Rip War ren, the star bullback of the crack Bir- mingham college aggregation last season.

Officials for the game have not been selected, but 1t is probable that either Bill Streit or J. s. Counselman will be named to referee the conflict.

Carl and Pat along with Gretchen
and Hortense, are making eyes at us
this Christmas, inviting us to inquire
into their merits. They belong to a
new order of the beloved rag dolls
that have always held the warmest
corner of little folks hearts.
These dolls are made of discarded
socks or stockings and stuffed with
cotton. White socks are used for the
heads and colored ones for the bodies.
Fancy stitching with heavy mercerized
cotton or yarns, outlines the jackets,
makes ties and garters and represents
buttons. The eyes, nose and mouth
are outlined also in black and red.
Two-toned silk socks, usually in
bright color on the wrong side are
much sought after by the makers of
these jolly looking character dolls.

A small neat portfolio to carry sta

is one of the gifts that can be made
for him at home. 1t is simple affair,
of substantial brown denim, and re-
quires nothing else but thread and snap
fasteners, to make very complete and
handy writing case.
AS shown in the picture, the case
is about ten inches wide and sixteen
inches long. One side of it holds three
blOtters that make a good support for
the writing tablet in cramped quarters
where there is no table. On the other
side are compartments for paper, en-
velopes, post cards and stamps. A
narrow strap of the denim, is sewed
down at the center to carry pen and
pencil. Ink can be carried in solid
form now. 1t comes in small sticks
that dissolve in water. The case fast
ems with strong snap fasteners as in
dicated in the picture.
1t is good idea to embroider the
initials on belongings made for the

tails. Besides it Is another evidence
of thoughtfulness on the part of the
donor.

REFUSES TO ACCEPT COAL.
Ossian Dealer Not Worried Abou,
Coming Shortage.

The following is taken from Fri
days Des Moines Register.
"A brand new type of coal dealer
has been discovered by the federal
fuel administrator for Iowa. The
dealer refused to accept a car OF
coal after it had been shipped by
the Puritan Coal company from Chi
cago to Ossian, Winneshiek county.
When the Ossia1 coal dealer re-
fused to accept the coal, the Chica-
go jobber wrote to Charles Webster,
coal administrator.
You ought to be thankful to get
coal at all, even at 81 ton," wrote
the company in a demand that the
car be unloaded without further de-
lay and the payment made. I'm
about thirty days there is going to
be the greatest coal famine this
country has ever experienced.
This is the most unusual case
that has yet come to our attention.

because of shortage of coal. The
