Stores Are "0n TriaI'' Before a Jury of
 Housewives

Changing prices of commodtes-uncertainties as to what tomorrows purchases to cost-anXiety as to how to manage household finances in order to avert deficits and dab-serve make the problems of buying for the home especially yeXing to housewives.
 These conditions also serve 10 make the ads or the stores more interesting them than ever before They read these ads nowadays with Cagerness born of hope that this that article may still be obtained a a manageable price,
 They look for items of good news in the ads.
 This frame of mind, common to great majority of women who buy household supplies, places the mer- chants ON TRIAL. It likewise affords Co merchants un- usual opportunities impress upon women the ser yce-valuc them of their stores.
 Merchants who determined to face these new conditions AND TO MAKE THEM EASIER TO THEIR CUSTOMERS will prove, in larger way than be- fore. THE HELPFULNESS OF ADVERTISING.
 They will make their ads of everyday service to their custimers They will fill them with the sort of good news" which all anxious to find to prices and offerings.
 Just s:ore-servce is trial, so is store adver- tising trial If both adequate the merchant will WIN HIS CASE BEFORE THE JURY OF BUYERS.

[Special DO The Times. plspatch.l

LYNCHBURCi. VA. January 20.--An-
nouncemcnt WAS made to-day by l'rcsi-
dent J. Y. r Hundley. Of Virginia
Christian College. that in the future
Tie athletics OF that institution Will
embrace football. Heretofore. from the
founding OF the school. the eridron
game was under a ban and the students
were not permitted To engage in The
sport.
President Hundlcy is a great advo-
cate OF clean college athletics, and he
mas made il plain that Il football clever.
VIII bc given all the backing III the flu
turc that the college can afford.
An effort was under way last year
for football. but this was deferred until
the present. and now it is expected that
the athletic authority among tho stu
dents will arrange for the 1917 scheu-
ul..
This will give :he college represent
tailon in the three major college sports,
football, baseball and basketball.
The college premises include an ath-
etc ncld. which can be made unusually
good for football. the only objection to
the site being its remOteness from the
college buildings and terminus of the

IF NEED BE, AS SINGLE MAN
SO Declares President OF Players Or
SnniHnti0n-Plnycrs Determined
to Push Fight.

NEW YORK. January 20.-David l..
Fultz. organizer and president OF the
baseball Players Fraternity. refuses
To be awed by the statements OF Presi-
dents Tener and Johnson and the big
league maEnateS that the threatened
strike of baseball players hardly in
terests them. He issued a statement
Tonight declaring that the players will
stick together. He says they have al
ways been willing 10 arbitrate, but
We are no longer willing to be done"
f'ultz announced that Oscar -. Stan
age. of the Detroits had been expelled
because of his violation of the agree
ment which prohibits player from
signing his contract until he has re-
ceived word from the fraternity Office.
The controversy arose over a petit
ton which the Baseball Players Fra
ternity presented TO the National Com
mission. the supreme court of baseball
and the National Board. which has
said Fultz. This petition asked for
certain revisions IN the customs gov
erning the game to which the fraternity
deemed the players were entitled. The
petition. in SO far it applied TO the
major leagues. was granted by the
commission.
The National Board, at least so
are Informed by the public press. which
is our only source of Information,
tabled our requests without hearing.
Continued attempts are Utii6
to obscure issue by bringing in
the salary question The player is
pictured as overpaid and deserving of
little consideration. 1t Is true some
OF them do not. The public will be
o fthcm do not. The public will be
surprised to know that there was a
salary paiG in the big leagues last year
OF 800 per month. Ty Cobb's salary
did not help that young man to any
great extent. at any rate, this con-
troversy has absolutely nothing to do
with the salary question. and the own
erS' attempts to convince the pub
lie are insincere.
For three years we have attempte&
TO procure the travelling expenses for
the players and for two years we have
endeavored through patient. tactful
petition and almost supplication to
have instituted a decent method of
handling the players claims. In all
this we have failed utterly.
The owners know that II they could
induce the big fellows TO break away
from the minor leaguers they could
trim us in sections without the slight
est difficulty. Nothing doing, gentle
men. If we go down we will all go
together but we will go down with our
shoes on. 1t may be unfortunate for
the big league magnate, but he must
suffer for the company he keeps.
we made numerous protests against
our treatment over Il period of years,
but no one seemed interested. We
passed IL over seventy times seven,
while the little fellow got the worst
| Of it. But now we are in corner and
| we are going to fight. We are always
/ willing to arbitrate but we are no
! longer willing to he done. Not only
! will fight. but we will win. because
