Marsh Dry Cleaners use the new

Marsh Dry Cleaners do NOT use
soap, because unless soap is free from
caustic it'll eat out the wool fibre and
make it tender. And it's mighty hard
to make pants LOOK clean after

years later made them champions of

IRIS speaker, wro will direct the
work of the Cleveland club again this
year, has shown marked ability to
lead men and match wits with the
older and more experienced leaders
of American league teams. In his brief
regime at the head of the Indians In
1919 he had great success with the
team, Cleveland giving Chicago hard
run. for the championship honors. Last
year Speaker had his team in the thick
of the pennant race from the opening
day of the season.
Speaker succeeded to the manage
ment of the Cleveland club on July
i9, 1919. He. had been Lee FohIs
lieutenant in directing the play of the
Indians and when Foil did not have
the success which Owner Jlmes G.,
Dunn felt he should have had a change
was decided upon. Speaker had previ-
ously declined to take the position but
when he was assured that his refusal
to take the place would not result in
the retention of Foil Iris accepted.
He has since been in charge of the
team.
Is Native of Texas.
Speaker was born in 1883 at Hub
bard City, Tex, and he still makes his
home in that little town. After play
ing on a school team In his home town
Speaker entered the Fort Worth Poly
technic institute and was star Of the
team representing that institution in

was with Houston of the Texas league
and battcd .314. He was purchased by
the Boston American league club In
1907, turned back In the spring to the
Little Rock club of the Southern asso-
citation and repurchased in late sum-
mer by the Red Sox. s.
Star With Red Scx.
Speaker played his first baseball In
the major league with the Red Sox in
1908 and was star of the team for
the next seven seasons, including 1913.
On April IL, 1915, Joseph j. Lannin,
then owner of the Red Sox, sold Speak
er to Cleveland for $4,000 and two
players-Pitcher Sam Jones and In
fielder Fred Thomas. Cleveland base
ball was at low ebb when Speaker
joined the team and his presence so
rejuvenated the interest in that city
that the game has been big success
ever since. In his first year with the
Indians Speaker hung up batting
mark OF 1856, leading the entire Amer
lean league in batting.
In only one year since he became a
regular with the Red Sox in 1909 has
Speaker failed to bat 300 or better.
The break came in 1919, when he bat

| Manager Wilbert Robinson, who for
the second time in five years led the
Brooklyn National league clubs play
ers successfully as pennant winners,
was born at Hudson, Mass, 56 years
ago. For SO years Robinson has Deen
identified with the national game.
Away back in 1884 he was catcher
for the Haverhill (Mass.) team, for
which at that time John Kinley Tener
was one of the clubs pitching staff.
During 1884 and the following season
Tener and Robinson proved to be an
effective battery. Many years later
Pitcher Tener was elected governor
of Pennsylvania and afterward be-
came the chief executive of the Ma
tional Baseball league.
In 1856 Robinson joined the Phila-
delphia Athletics of the American
association and In his first major
league game as catcher, scored the
only run made by his team, which was
beaten A to by the New York Metro
politans.
RObinSon's fame as q catcher and
batter as well as fast baserunner is
closely allied with Baltimore where he
spent many years of his baseball ca
reer. Back in the COS with McGraw,
Jennings, Keller, Kelly and others,
Robinson established an enviable ep-
utation as great player when Ned
Hanlon's famous Orioles won the
championship three years in success
sion.
After McGraw became manager of
the New York Giants in 1902, Robin
son remained in Baltimore and played
for several seasons with the Interna-
tional league club there.
In the development of pitchers Rob
inson was singularly successful and
for several seasons he assisted his old
friend McGraw in this department. He
