THE WELDING POWER
OF WAR-SAVINGS
(By John c. Shaffer, of the Chicago
Evening POst)

(By John c. shaffer, of the Chicago
Evening Post.)
One of the greatest benefits that
we shall obtain from this war will be
the lesson of economy and of self
sacrifice.
He that giveth from the abundance
that he has is doing we'll. And he
who makes sacrifices in order that
another may live is benefting both
him that receiveth and him that
giyeth.
Another benefit from this war is
that it is teaching us to think nation
ally and not locally. Everywhere
throughout the United States today
men and women, boys and girls are
thinking and working for the Nation.
In addition to giving their time they
are giving their money and their saw
ings.
We shall have more strong and
unified Nation at the end of this war
than we had before it was begun.
1t is of enormous advantage to the
Nation to have the people buy the
War Savings Stamps out of their saw
1ngs because it links their mind and
heart closer to the Nations welfare.
1t is important and exceedingly bene-
ficial to have men and women buying
Liberty Bonds, for this gives them d
direct interest in the welfare of the
country and makes them properly
watchful as to how their. money is
expended.
6rn IcrI IL e
cur national needs we are knitting the
people closer together and getting
more compact national life.
1t will be much easier for US to
solve our economic problems and ad-
just ourselves to new conditions after
the war if all the people have inn
vested their savings in War Savings
Stamps and Liberty Bonds. They
will feel that they are stockholders
in that great corporation known as
the United States government, and
will take more interest in welfare
and in its development than ever be-
fore
It is highly desirable that the cam
raign for selling War Savings Stamps
and Liberty Bonds should be general
1t will be better to have a thousand
citizens buy 81 worth of War Savings
Stamps a piece than to have some ore
individual buy $1,000 worth. Z viii
be better for the government to sell
its bonds to many individuals in
small amounts than to have the banks
and the rich buy the securities in
large blocks.
Let US have a campaign that will
get everybody interested in buying
government securities. Thus shall we
! doubly help to win the victory ove-
the nations that seek to destroy
democracy throughout the world.

SYSTEM OF moral
SUASION NO cool
Wright Tried to Cover
Players by Kindly Meth
DDS But Without Result.

In the history & of major feagul
baseball only one manager, HART
Wright, attempted to govern his plays
record in the pennant races during
the ten years he was in control of ths
Philadelphia team can be accepted al
trustworthy evidence his system was 4
failure.
Unquestionab1y Harry Wright left
behind him a record of kindness an&
forbearance never equalled by ans
manager, and the memory of thS
mans admirable disposition will out
live and overshadow his failure to ge
closer to champion Zip than sec
ond position in the years from
1884 to 1898 inclusive.
Three times his team finished third
four times he was fourth, once HI
was sixth and once last. /,
Beyond doubt Harry Wright wal
as eager to win the pennant as ami
manager in the game, but through
that decade of failure he maintained
the same mild demeanor that char
acterized him from the time he frs
entered the game. 49,. "a
Although the Philadelphians failed
to reach the top by the narrowesl
margin year after year, Wright rel
fused to employ the brusque method
that were used by more successful
managers in the treatment of players
True, he pleaded and argued will
his players and urged them to mend
their ways and give their best SER
vices to the club, yet it is not on reel
ord that Wright ever fined a playeI
or subjected one to severe discipline.
1t cannot be denied that many O
! the men on his team took advantag,
| of his ea&vgoing disposition and tina
the pennant chances of the team suf
fered in consequence Also it can
not be denied that Wright had som,
excellent material on his teams, in
Guiding the terrific hitter, Ed Dele
hanty.
But he also had collection of cut
ups like Jimmy Fogarty, George Wood
/ Joe MuIvey and others who were ex
ceedingly lively both on and off tn
field. - :

He also was the manager, secretar

that won the pennant of the Nationa
Association four consecutive years

Up Games
Orders Prexy O'Nei]

Speed up the games and lay off
the umpires," was the ultimatum
handed down to Eastern league
managers by President Dan O'Neil
at a conference held at Hotel
Garde, New, Haven, last night.
O'Neil expressed the opinion that
there were too many unnecessary
delays and that the managers,
players and umpires could make
the game more interesting for the
fans by SLOWING trifle more speed.
He said that rowdyism must he
eliminated or fines and heavy sus-
pensions would follow, notwith-
standing the shortage of players.
He also instructed them that when
double-headers are played the sec
ond game will be seven innings.
All the clubs were represented at
the conference, to wit: Danny
Murphy, New Haven; Freddy Pa
rent, Springfield; Jack Mcmahon,
Worcester; Paul Krichell, Bridge
port; Eddie Eayrs, Providence;
Harry Hinchman, Waterbury; Gus
Gardella, Hartford, and Jack

Ball Must Be Thrown
To the First Baseman
sporting Editor, The Times:

Sporting Editor, The Times:
Dear Sir.-During one of the games
at Newfeld park last Saturday, Short
stop Braun of the Bridgeport club
struck out, the catcher dropping the
ball Braun waited for a moment
at the plate and then ran down to
first base. The ball hit him in the
back and he was declared safe.
argue that Braun should have been
called out the minute he stopped run
ming. Am 1 right "A Baseball Fan
You are not right. Braun or any
ether man could stand around the
plate, in fact, he could walk to the
bench and then run to first if he
wanted to; that is if the catcher failed
to throw the ball to first or tag him.
When the catcher drops a third strike
the ball must be thrown to first before
the runner is out. There is no rule
in baseball that declares a man out
for mot running" Ed.

Tantalum, owing to it's hardness,
makes good material for writing pens,
which are less expensive than iridium-

 shortly after the creation of the emergency fleet corporation he secured the contract for building 70 ships from General Goethals. at a cost of $5O0, 00o each, and some of these are now in course of construction by the Terry Ship building company at Savannah Ga, of which company he is vice president.
 It is understood that the new plant will secure part of its supply of steel from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail- road company part from the Bessemer rolling mills and part from the Pittsburg district the latter coming through on fabrication in transit shipments. Under the fabrication in transit rule the freight rates will be the same as though the shipment had gone through from Pitts burg to the coast without stopping, thus saving a considerable item in the way of freight charges
 The new plant will be equipped to make the plates and parts of three ships at the same time, and this will make It possible to turn out three times the num- Der of ships possible under former sys- tems in use. The parts when they leave the fabricating plant will be ready for assembling and the only thing remain ing to be done at the shipbuilding plant will be to assemble and rivet them to- gether. Three ships can thus be built every month.
