X ONE ball players, recognized stars
Of the profession, find It impos-

series team during the long career IN
the major leagues. Others are fortu-
nate enough TO move from one club
to another and find themselves on
pennant winners before and after tho

Many a great player spends many
years in the big leagues and never
has the luck 20 be connected with a
pennaut winner. Napoleon LajOie. al

ever getting into a worlds series

After a couple Of postponements
for one reason or another. the date
Of the annual autumn meeting Of the
Texas Baseball league has been set
at October Is. probably in Dallas In
this session the main issue Is that re-

the session is a very important one
for this reason, II for none other.
When the magnates dropped Beau

TO balance the circuit-the Oller
management was promised a return
Of its franchise next season to active

to get into the running again. and

Jack Barry. Of the Red SoN, has
been the luckiest player in baseball
from the standpoint Of worlds series
play. He figured in four with the
Athletics between 1910 and 1914. then
was sold TO Boston and shared in the
dividends OF 1915 and 1916.
But he was only one OF many play
ers who was sold or traded after his
team had won one or more penuants
and found himself again connected
with a pennant winner.
Charley HerzOE played IN three se'
ries with the Giants was allowed 20
get away and then was called back,
only TO find himself again with a
pennant winner. Fortune surely has
smiled on the captain OF the Giants.
He was away from the Giants dur
ing the losing years. but he drew a
managers salary during this time,
came back under the same high sal

Jim Thorpe and Jack Murray also
have been let out by the Giants and
called back in time to share In the

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States Navy

To The American People:
The Secretary Of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting TO over $4,000, 900
to a British bidder for Ia and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders.
We know nothing of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
he is entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 1920 l4-inch shells Mt a
price of sI,5l5,000. Up to now
not a single shell has been &C
ceptcd by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, etc, on these
orders $522, 1881, and we have not
received SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
In addition, literal Interpretation OF
the contract might make liable for
penalties amounting to $o78.0l6.
In the light Of our experience, and hav-
ing no other basis, we bid for l6-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain
in bed for one or two days, they
would recover much more quickly,
especially if they take Chamber

also be less danger of the cold be-
ing followed by any of the more
serious diseases.
