Sell Watch at Auctioneer's

To tho Editor Of the Womdn's Page
Dear Madam am Il young woman
of nineteen years. Recently my hus-
band lost his position. and, to. cap the
climax, we lost a lot of money through
worthless spcculations. We now find
it very hard to make both ends meet,
so am dispensing with all luxuries
Some years ago was given n gold
watch, which I would like to sell now.
1t is in very good condition. with fifteen
jewels and very good make. Could
you print in your valuable column tho
name or names of one or more reliable
places where | could dispose of it? |
will make sacrifice of it. but do not
want to advertise in the papers. have
tried to dispose of it at several jewelers.
without avail. MRS. F. +. V.
The best place to sell your watch is
at an auctioneer's place. There are a
number of these places listed under
"Auctioneers'' in the telephone book.
They sell any article you place in their
hands. at their own price. taking off
a commission. Of course. you have to
accept their price. but it will give you
more than if you sold the watch for old
gold. and I hope you will be able to
get good amount for it.

a Code for Girls

Dear Cynthia. Il have decided to
send in few random impressions
picked up on my wanderings.
A girl docs not need to be extremely
handsome to win the admiration of
the sterncr sex. On the contrary she
may be quite plain. But she must dress
well. BY that I do not mean expen-
sivcly. Far be it from me to condemn
n girl lust because she cant spend a
small fortune on clothes. but what She
does buy should be of the best. A lot
of girls sccm to think that n fellow
would faint If he saw them in the
same dress twice This idea is en-
tirrly erroneous. as most any fellow
would rather his girl have one dress
good enough to 60 any place in, than
five or six which might do to change
off is shc went to cheap dance hall
every night,
As for cosmetics. Of course there are
as many different opinions as there arc
brands of face powder (and I'm told
there is a large numbcr). but | don t
think any girl makes n mistake in us
ing a moderate amount of powder or a
little rouge on occasion either. What

Buy now-in August or the Autumn
will be too late. A big coal shortage is
coming Thousands of miners are going
back to Europe. Coal production has
fallen off considerably and shortage of
many million tons looks probable. My
advice to consumers is to buy now while
they can get selection and delivery. I
feel bound to say that, as see the situa-
ton, we are likely to experience coal
famine in the Fall
These are all facts. Consider them.
Quick action being so apparent, we cannot
urge too strongly that you buy your coal

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

Editors note This is, the
 twelfth, and final, chapter of se-
 ries of articles concerning Connie
 Mack. The entire story is based
 On an interview with the remark
 able leader of the Athletics. It is
 a story which reveals many inside
 incidents and theories of Connie
 Mack which heretofore have never
 been given to the public by the
 Sphinx of BaseballD
 What is the real secret of your suc- cess in managing a ball club?"
 Connie Mack smiled-and replied:
 Being fortunate enough to have some wonderful balIplayers on my ros- ter"
 The answer was characteristic of Mack-mo oldest, unassuming and ever ready to give the credit to his men rather than himself.
 If you insist upon giving all the glory to your players" was the re- tort. twill you be good enough to tell what you think should be the cardinal rules to guide any individual who wants to take up the management of ball club?"
 Mack answered:
 "The first thing is to call to mind the old maxim, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you and then practice IL In your COHQucL lOWdFO your players The second real rule is to perfect team work to it's highest possible point. Unless you do this you can never hope to have a smooth-run- ming machine and you never can be as- sured of success in pennant ambi- tions.
 Back in the days when I started my baseball career I worked under vari- ous managers, and studied the methods of each I found that the man who accomplished the happiest results was the one who treated his players much as a father would his son; with pa- tience and with kindness. It was that type of man who always got the very best out of his sub bordinates day in and day out, week after week, and year after year.
 Some persons claim that there is a type of ball player who cannot be han dled by kind words; that only driv- ing methods will make him work his best. I disagree with that theory. Any manager who conducts himself in a kindly way-perhaps mixed with firm ness-toward the most belligerent member of his club will get better re- suits in the end than the man who uses the whip. It may do for time to lash a player who is a bit stub born, but eventually he will balk and become surly. And all the while that player is storing up a certain hatred and a certain bitterness.
 "A player who is driven to his work is one who never performs with a whole -souled spirit-and that's the only spirit that wins.
 Earlier in my career as an Ann er- ican league manager the athletes on my team were mostly seasoned men who had been developed by other teachers. Some were classed as tough customers and as very difficult to ham, dIe. But in all the years of my con- nection with the Athletics I have never encountered one player who would not respond to kindly treatment. I always found that if I took him aside and talked to him in a fatherly sort of way that any grouch he had would dis appear and that on the next day he would be out on the ballfield fighting his head off to show me that he ap- preciated the confidence had in him" !"

 LOCAL-BY WIRE

What is your system relative to
 oungsters~coming up for a trial?'
 was asked
 Give each one the fullest chancs
 possible-and then give him two or
 three more" answered the man who ranks as the greatest developer of
 green" material in all baseball his- tory.
 During my career as player I saw many youngsters come up for trial who looked like potential stars-yet they
 failed And it was all because they had not been accorded a real chance
 They got trial and were nervous and
 off their game-as was only natural
 Before they had an opportunity to set tie down and show what they really could do, the managers passed judg- ment on the play they had exhibited in their faltering moments-and they were sent back to the bushes. discour- aged and disheartened; labeled as fail-
 ures. when little longer trial might have brought out their real brilliance Tn after years when I became manager I always kept before me the lesson of those days. When a boy came to me for a tryout I usually talked to him and explained that I ex- pect him to be nervous and to be some what cratic at the start-and that it wouldn't count against him if he was. Because of this the majority of those 1 boys would go about their tasks minus the nervousness so characteristic of the youth just breaking in and it was com paratively easy for me to get quick line on what that boy could-and couldn't-do with a baseball. Very few of the youngsters who made up the Athletic machine of 1909- 1914 looked like stars in their earli- est trials. Some of them blundered fearfully at the outset. But they quick ly found themselves and convinced me Of their greatness"
 Have you ever regretted that you made baseball your profession?" T have been in the game as player, manager and part owner of big league club for 35 years replied the Athletic leader, and I have lived through some stirring and troublesome times. But every hour that I have lived in baseball has been one of hap piness and one which I never would trade for anything else.'

gled and Nasty was yanked. Old man Red Day was shunted into the box without being warned, and what Hasty started the red-head finished. Before he could get the visitors out they had piled up nine more runs. had made seven hits and the Bears had contrib uted five errors, all in this one inning, at the conclusion of which not half dozen people were left in the ball park.
 Morrison was most effective and really worked like a pitcher of prom ise Mobile was given two runs in the third inning. An error by Ellis on 8 fly ball and McMillin's pebble put two runners on, both of whom scored on errors by Webb and Bernsen. Not an earned run was scored off Morrison, as perfect play would also have pre- vented the Mobile run in the ninth.
