simple medium of advertising the
merchandise OF the local merchant,
is one of the significant signs of the
times both in business and in news
paper circles.
The merchant in the small town
has discovered that he must COM
pete with the merchant of the big
city by adopting the latter's advcrtis-
ing methods, and in order to reach
his trade must go into the advertis-
ing columns OF his local newspaper.
The big city merchant buys enor-
nous quantities of space in the city
papers, and one or more Of these
goes into the home of the people in
the country and in small towns. The
big city merchant makes a special
feature of his mail order business.
As "a natural consequence. an enor-
nous volume of business, in the ag-
gregate, flows from he.country and
the small towns into the Golfers OF
the big city merchant.
In order to meet and overcome this
competition, the local merchant must
present the quality and style OF his
! goods TO his local customers through
the advertising columns of his local
newspaper. 1t is common knowledge
among Shrewd women shoppers oil

COBB AND ROUSH
PREMIER BATTERS
Little Likelihood Eth er
Will Be Displaced, as
Their Lead Is Big

Ty Cobb and Eddie Roush, the leading
batsmen of the American and National
Leagues, are reasonably sure today of cap
turing the batting championships for 1911.
Cobb is setting terrific pace for Amer
can League sluggers, and holds a lead Of
thirty-one points over his closest rival,
while Roush is leading his league by a
margin of twenty-siX points. With the
close of the season a little more than four
weeks away the present leaders appear to
he strongly entrenched in the lead and only
the worst kind of a slump by either will
pave the way for rival batsmen to over
take them now.
At the clip Roush is travelling he will
better the high figure set by Hal Chase
last season. Prince Hal led the Nationals
in 1916 with final average of .339. Roush
is batting .S48 and may better that figure
by the end of the season.
Cobb is striving to set a better mark
than Iris Speaker hung up last year. The
Georgia peach is hitting 1856. the exact
figure at which Speaker wound up the cam
paign last fall. Twice during the present
season Cobb has reached 1888, only to fall
back, and although he stands a good chance
of outhttng the 1916 champion there Is
little hope now that he will reach the 400
mark.
