COX SEEKS TO ATTRACT
LAW SCHOOL CANDIDATES

A determined effort to attract law
school men TO the football squad Is
being made by Graduate Manager
Cox. He visited the law school last
night and talked with a number Of
likely looking candidates
I'VE now have about thirty players
in uniform every day, but II the law
school, our biggest school, will do
its duty we should have twice that
number" is the way Cox explains the
situation at the Hilltop.
The principal need at the Hilltop
now is for q stronger second eleven,
and This will not be obtained until
heavier men turn out. In playing
ability there is now q wide margin
OF difference between the two teams
scrimmaging every day.
Georgetown will play open football
Saturday against Lebanon Valley in
the first battle OF the season at the
Hilltop. There Will be forward
passes galore. judging from the early
practice. Gilroy Maloney, and Nc
QuRde are all taking turns at hurting
the leather, and each veteran shows
daily Improvement.
Coach Exendine is now doing his
best to whip the forwards into condi-
ton. Dudack, Zuger," Anderson,
Ahern. and Smeach must learn to play
together better IL they are to hold
their berths on the varsity team. An
derson Is the only regular forward
left, but Zuger and Smeach got into
a few games last season. Dudack and
Ahern are newcomers.

the best we could do, and It prob
ably will be close enough for all prac-
teal purposes.
Two Interrogation Marks.
That leaves Cicotte and Danforth
two big Interrogation marks, and the
fact that these two are liable to be
such important factors in the series,
IT would seem that the National
Commission ought at once to take
steps to define what they may and
what they may not use in pitching.
These men have perfected a new
shoot, variously called, but generally
known as the "shine ball" Cicotte
seems to have It under perfect con-
troll, and has accomplished its con-
troll without use OF artificial means
1 have studied all summer trying
to find out what Is done the ball
to make 1t take such strange slides
on the air, and am satisfied that
whatever 1t is, 1t is perfectly legal.
DanfOrth's shoot . different and not
so well controlled. He has been
stopped from darkening the ball, on
one side.
However, their styles of delivery
have been SO widely advertised and
criticised in the American League
that It g certain 'McGraw will raise
a point, and will protest against them,
not because he believes they are doc
torinG the ball or doing anything
Illegal, but because he will hope to
disturb them. or affect their pitch
ing. A plain definition before the
series starts might avoid much trou-
BILE and kicking on the field.
We are now coming to the really
important part OF the dope-the bat
teries. Remember the catchers are
14100 Of the entire defensive strength
Of each team, ard the pitchers are
36-1OO. so their work counts Bs much
in the comparisons as all the others
Dmbined.
Tomorrow. we will consider the
STATS and I expect. from
he figures already compiled. that the
White Sox will regain much OF their
lost ground.

to me, AZ being greatly incensed over
the delay Occasioned in one OF the
games in his park not long ago, when

by the constant claim made by the

the continual demands for the UNI

I am Just as confident now that the
Giants will win the worlds cham
pionship this year as I was last
spring that they would be contenders
for It.
That I have the strongest and best
balanced team ever managed, am
convinced. 1t is the product of a
combination of much thought, time,
and money.
I imagined the goal OF my baseball
ambition had been reached last year
when the team I had been so for
tunate to secure won twenty-six
worlds record Of consecutive VIC
tories.
But I was mistaken; the goal I
had set for myself now Is to be the
manager Of the team that will win the
coming worlds series.
That the Giants Of 1915, with that
grand showing behind them, ought to
be the ones to play for the worlds
pennant this year, was my natural
conclusion, and have groomed them
for 1t all this season to the best Of
my ability. 1 brought them back
from their spring training camp in

never had such a lot of hard and con-
scientious workers.
After q poor start, owing to their
setback in physical form on account

have virtually had a walk-over in the
National League race.
They have won no such long string

MOST SUCCESSFUL MEN ARE
HAPPY ALL THE WAY UP.

A contribution in the June Amerl-
can Magazine says:
1.-The amount of money one needs
to be happy is enough to maintain
an established environment
1T differs vastly, and, with men
progressing, it changes constantly.
It Is folly to set some particular
amount, like a $4,000 income. That
infers that all men who earn less
perhaps IS per cent. of all families
are necessarily unhappy.
"Most successful men find happi-
ness all the way up. remember
when $50 month seemed fortune
to me- l distinctly remember that a
roommate receiving $500 yearly
seemed plutocrat.
81 believe that l could have re-
manned happy on today's equivalent
for that $50 monthly. I saved money
then, as always, and I started to build
a home.
II have been happy financially at
every step since. I remember when l
first afforded a $35-flat 1t seemed a

ORGANIZES A RE-
CROSS AUXILIARY.
(Hopkinton Leader.)

Last night the committee on Red
Cross appointed by the Commercial
club met for organization at the O.
w. Smith home. There was large
majority Of the committee present
and they had very enthusiastic
meeting. A permanent Red Cross or
ganization for the community was
launched and the people that were
present applied for membership, paid
their annual dues, and were given the
badge of the Red Cross. A member
ship committee was appointed with
Mrs. I. T. Wilson as chairman. They
have already begun work for the Sc
curing of members today. g..
There are, very few people that do
not understand the Red CROSSE 1tJis
the way adopted by all nations for
supplying surgical supplies to- their
armies during the time of war. The
dollar that you pay is divided. Half
goes to the Red Cross at Washington
and there is spent for supplies on
which no work is needed. The other
half is kept by the local chapter and
is used for buying material 20 be
made up into supplies needed. The
women who become members Of the
Red Cross in Hopkinton will be the
working force to make up the material
that is assigned here.
Why join? Because that is the only
way you can help the Red Cross. In
Japan one person in every twenty
two is a member of the Red Cross. In
the United States only one out OF
POI belongs. We are tagging as a
nation far behind the others. This
is your opportunity to alleviate the
suffering of the soldier and add a
little to his comfort when wounded.
In Hopkinton and vicinity the very
least joining ought to be 200. 1t would
be a disgrace if there were not that
many.
The officers chosen last night were:
L. A. Bradford, chairman; Miss Mae
Kelley, secretary; F. E. Williamson,
treasurer; Mrs. l.. T. Wilson was
made chairman of the membership
committee and Mrs. Norman Landers
of the work committee. The other
members of the membership COM
mittee are: George S. Coleman, W.
H. Ensign, G. J. Chalice, Mrs. L. A.
Bradford, Mrs. H. L. Main. Miss Kel-
ley. You can get an application
blank from any of them. Do it now!

ANGER and Rage.

Nothing is improved by anger, un-
less it be the arch Of a cats back. A
man with his back up is spelling his
figure. People look none the hand
somer for being red in the face. 1t
takes a great deal out of man to get
into towering rage; it is almost as
unhealthy as having fit, and time
has been that men have actually
choked themselves with passion, and

hurt as being angry about it; for pas

THE FLAG.

(RegiSter & LEADER
Collar manufacturers, hosiery
makers and others are due for some
we'll merited losses, in their inabil-
ity, to, sell goods into or onto which
they have incorporated the Amer

If there is anything In poorer
taste than flag on collar or a
pair of feminie hosiery, it does not
instantly suggest itself. There are
certain number of people in the
world who would buy and wear
such articles, so the manufacturers
would doubtless have made quite a
fair, profit had they not bumped
into the statutes Of the United
States on the subject of flag decor

1t is not even sign. of monu-
mental patriotism TO wear a flag
