How many years of stellar baseball
are left in Ty Cobb? Who can tell?
Wagner, Lajoie, Arson. Crawford
were up there around 20 years. Their
cases are remarkable. Cobb may last
longer as a great ball player. He
started young and may continue for
10 or ~ years yet.
On the same reasoning Sisler ma
last 20 years.
Quinn's reasoning is logical. He
expects Sisler to usurp the place Cobb
has monopolized in the sun for so
many years in which event Sisler as
a future prospect is a greater asset
than Cobb.

baseball world that declaration would

Of them all, not good enough for n

At first blush the idea is preposter-

personally responsible for the winning
of more ball games perhaps than n

Make the War Your
Business

For fifty years Germany has been
cultivating the business OF war while
we have been cultivating the business
OF peace To win the war the Ameri-
can people must make war their bush
ness. That business must supersede
all other considerations Our own
individual concerns must be absolute
ly subordinated to the purpose of
winning the war. Every dollar must
be conserved. Every man, woman
and child should, without delay, de
termine to do away with every luxury
and resolve to purchase only the
necessities of life. Every dollar thus
saved will serve a double purpose
It may be used to assist in carrying
on the war and 1t will not be used in
purchasing non-essentials which re-
uuire labor and material that should
be at the disposal OF the government.
In short, this business OF war must be
conducted exactly as every successful
business man conducts his own bust
ness We must keep in mind, every
minute OF the day, that this Is not the
job OF any one man or set OF men. 1t
is EVERYBODY'S JOB and all must
work together II we would preserve
those rights so long enjoyed by the
people OF this nation.
