ARM|sHcE DAY DANCE ! AND ENTERTAINMENT IN
 COMPLETE READINESS

The Armistice Day Day commit 1 tees have reported in their work is completed and everything is in read mess for the opening gun tomorrow night in Odd Fellows hall.
 From the advance sale of tickets it is indicated one of the largest crowds to have attended dance in the past year will be at this affair.
 Of special importance and in inter est will be the extra stunts the nat ure of which still remains a deep dark mystery.
 Rather difficult, you know, old chap, to formulate four or five stunts that will appeal to such discrimina- ting audience" declared Archibald Henry Moosecalf, imported entertain CT emeritus to His Majesty's cat "One stunt is huge strain on a chappie's mind, you see. Two or three for a single night, a ghastly here, have tried to think up some thing clever and absolutely original like having everybody take hold of each others hand and gallop around in a ring but the fear that some indi- vidual might slip on the jolly old wax and sprain something, quite ap- palls me-"
 "So with this fear in mind, have tried to conjur up diversion that will be safe and not so energetic as the above mentioned, Not so hectic, if you get what I mean. I had thot that we might, since an American Legion dance is not held very often, do something absolutely paralysing. Suppose everybody should just stand still and ogle each other, the men ogle the women and wise versa? Capital, what! By jove, I don't think anybody before ever conceived of a dance where nobody danced, or stood around in groups doing noth ing in particular and perhaps, along about eleven or twelve o'clock pas sing little pleasantries like, for exam pie what do you think of the wealth ! CT we're having? Do you think it will 1 rain tomorrow? Ravishing don't you think? But then my chief rather dis agrees with me in some of these de- tails, although entirely wrong, and may have to delete some of the high | brow, impressionistic diversions, I have just outlined in order not to pass completely over his head But in spite of him I assure you it will be rip-roaring, bowling devastating suc- cess from the center to circumfer- ence, with eats, drinks and bit of novelty now and then. And you will have to give it to the American Le- zion, what? All right, I shall see you then tomorrow night at o'clock"
 And MT. Moosecalf, former enter tainer de lux to the Kings eat, reach | ed for his snuff box and spat en- phatically toward the coal scuttle.

MAJORS MUST
HUNT PLAYERS
AMONG MINORS
Training Farm sy st e m
Proves Value; st. Louis
Makes Use of It
By BILLY EVANS

The scarcity of major league ball
players is certain shortly to cause
drastic action on the part of the
magnates to remedy, the situation.
TO my way of thinking there is
only. one answer to the solution, the
owning by the big leaguers of minor
league clubs of various classifica-
tons, where promising material can
be developed step by step.
The st. Louis club Of the National
League is the first club to put this
theory into practice. Branch Hickey
a smart baseball man, who has been
connected with the game in prac.
tically every capacity, has success.
fully worked out the problem for the
Cardinals.
At the present time. the st. Louis
system is composed of the Cardinals
as the parent club, with Syracuse in
the International League, Houston in
the Texas League, Danville in the
Three-Eve League and Topeka in the
Western Association.
Value Ii. Proved
The great value of the system was
proved beyond doubt this spring
when Tommy Thevcnow, star short
stop Of the world cham pions, broke
his leg. "A hurried cal. was sent out
for help. The Danville cub was first
to respond with Heinie Schubla. who
was Texas sandlotter this time last
year. He fitted into the scheme
nicely and, considering his limited
experience, has played remarkably
we'll.
More than 100 ball players are
owned directly and indirectly by the
Cardinals through this system of
parent club and stations. A
majority of these players are major
league prospects, signed up in the
hope that proper schooling in the
minors under competent managers
will develop them all the more
rapidly.
Owning these minor league plants
enables the Cardinals to hold big
advantage over the other major
league clubs. 1t makes it possible
for them to beat the rule that after
a player is farmed out for two years
he either must be retained or sold.
Has Good Prospects
That the St. Louis club has some
excellent prospects in the making is
made apparent by the fact that three
Of the st. Louis farms, Danvill6.
Houston and Syracuse are battling
for the pennant in their respective
organizations.
Take the makeup of the Cardinal
infield as an example. There is Jim
Bottomley, one of the greatest OF
first basemen. Grabbed from the
semipro circles, he was first semitic
Houston for year, then graduated
to Syracuse for a season, making
him full.fledged candidate for the
majors. Tommy Thevenow, the brill
liant shortstop. ,prepped for two
years at Syracuse as did George
Toporcer, clever utility man, and
Third Baaemsn Lies" Bell.
That other major league clubs are
seeing the wisdom Of the St. Loui..
system 10 shown by the purchase OF
c~e club as farm by q number o.
the magnates. However, the. st
Louis Cardinals is the only one that
has the progressive system, which
eventually will, be the unanimous
answer to the scarcity Of major
lea~ue PLAYERS that are coming up
each season..

Colts Fine Points

Many have wondered just what the
fine points Of golf consisted Of. John
r. McGovern, sports writer on the
Minneapolis journal, tells you in his
primer.
Here it is:
The uninitiated are apt to inquire,
what is this golf about which SO
much is written and so much more
spoken? What sort Of game or
curse is it that can stimulate sane
normal men and women to spend SO

Golf is form of work made expen-

you have to dress for it in a 500, 900

Golf is what letter carrying, ditch
digging and carpet beating would be

formed on the same hot afternoon in
short pants and colored socks by
equity looking gentlemen who requir-

mood.
Golf is the simplest looking game
in the world when you decide to take
it up and the toughest looking after
you have been at it 10 or IL years.
It is probably the only known game

Of century and then discover that
it was too deep for him in the first
place.
The game is played on carefully
