One reason for the downfall of the
Cardinals" said Hickey to q New
York baseball writer. was the lack
Of money. You can't have a winning
ball club these days in the major
leagues without spending money. i
don't mean by this that to obtain q
winner the only thing necessary is a
lot of money, because that isn't 50,
either. ....
But you can't get the best players,
the players a team needs, without the
money to buy them. That's as true as
the stars. II had had the money TO
get the players, I'd have had win
ming ball club. It might not have
won the pennant, but il would have
been up at the top fighting for It
The St Louis club today needs
money. If it gets IL, it will be pos
sible to get some players who will
put the team up among the leaders.
II II doesn't-well, a winning base
ball club these days needs money, and
lots of it"
John McGraw's Method.
For years John McGraw, at the
head OF the New York Giants, has
been buying needed players. He has
quite given up the idea OF taking
youngsters and developing them. He
wants instant results, so he has OBJ
tained trained athletes and won pen
nants.
Many managers OF other teams,
probably because they lack the
money, scott at McGraw's methods,
but the best reply is that beginning
with 1904 the Giants have won six
National League pennants and have
always been big money-makers.
Making the money, the club could AZ
ford to spend IT for players. With
the players IL would pin pennants.
It's the old problem OF the hen and
the egg.
The Cubs spent a barrel OF money
to win the pennant in 1918. Charlie
Comiskey spent a small fortune for
players, but finally in 1917 hung up
his first pennant since 1906. It would
appear as if Branch Rickey knew
whereof he spoke when he said that
money would put the Cardinals in the
race, even If it didn't give them the
flag.
Take Grifs Case.
On two occasions in recent mem
ory the Washington club has loos-
ened I'D for players. In 1912 a re-
spectacle sum of $500 in cash was
added to Bill Cunningham, Buck
Becker, and Jerry Akers to obtain
Chick GandiI from Montreal Gan
dill made the Washington club a
winning aggregation for three years
and enabled the stockholders to col
lect a few dividends.
A year ago last December Bert
GaIlia was coupled with an alleged
payment of $4,000 to get Bert Shot
ton and Johnny Lavan from the
Browns. Shotton was not a howl
ing success. but Lavan is generally
credited with much of the work that
brought the Griffmen in third.
1t is cheering news that the Wash
ington club is prepared to spenc
money to land a winning team in
1919. Some new players will cost
money. but WashingtOn's cosmopoli-
tan population is just about ra'ring
to support a winner. IL the GriGIs can
get awav to good start, stay up
around the leaders and exhibit that
cid comc-from- behind spirit, which is
possible only for a new combination
here, "Pcrduke" Fowler will have TO
hire extra men to watch the gates,
and il won't be the deAdhead gate,
either.
After all, we Americans sure do
love winner, and, according to
Branch Hickey, winners cost money.

never allow any privileges. One aft

friends. One of them was acting
perfectly proper, while the other,
who was in the back seat had al

around her. Now, Miss Fairfax we
are sure she Is not engaged to him

Sometimes wonder il too much
hasn't been said about constancy.
.constancy to the person one has
promised to marry, for instance, is
regarded not only as a virtue but
as really inseparable from decency
and honor. Breach of promise
suits" are seriously considered in
the courts and iilting is pointed to
as an abomination.
Changing ones mind--or ones
heart-after one has promised to
marry and TO love forever is held
to be simply one of the things that
can't be done.
This idea is so general, and so
many sharply vigilant eyes are con-
stantly on the lookout for viola

stancy, that / suspect a good many
tender hearted, self distrustful
young creatures are frightened into
marriages that if they felt perfectly
free they would unregretfully es-
cape from.
