IS SAVING
LEFTY GROVE

Although Robert Moses Grove has
rolled up the impressive total Of
IL victories as against only two de.
feats, It Is doubtful whether the
great southpaw Of the Athletics can
achieve his goal Of 30 victories this
season. The As have played three
fIfths Of their scheduled games and
q continuation of Groves aensa-
tlonai pace for the remaining two.
fifths Of the campaign would net
him only zS wins.
Even short slump would Just
about ruin the tall southpaw,s
chances OF chaIkIng up 50 trfumpls.
Connie Mack is saving his great
star az much as possible, however,
by sending 4 relief pitcher to the
mound when the team has piled up
big lead, for Grove early in the
game. Mack did just that yesterday
when his sluggers ran wild and
scored 20 runs in the first five
innings Of the Cleveland game.
The most unusual feature OF the
carnage was that the As made their
nine runs in the first inning after
two men were out. Jimmy Fox got
two homers, Grove and Haas also
hit for the circuit. and the team d
total OF rs hits netted u runs To
CIeveland's three.
The As increased their lead over
the Yankees to 10h games, as the
champions did not play.

to start q tournament for women
players, Jim Preston. general i'm.
presario OF the public links, never
could find enough interest nor
enough players to warrant staging
an affair. This year, however, the
apathy was overcome and Preston
plans to make the tournament an

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
by S. w. Straus)

There are great many sub
stantial business men in America to-
day. who could tell you interesting
stories about how they spent their
early years in the accumulation of a
few dollars.
Had they continued all their lives
to save only the small amounts they
were able to lay by at first, they
never would have become Well-to-do
men. But their small savings ana the
discipline which was necessary to
build up these sums, put them In
position to earn more money and Oc-
cupy more important positions as the
years went by.
Il don't think l could live long
enough to be rich at the rate l would
be able to save money
This sentence in a letter received
recently is typical of the viewpoint
of many who lack the patience to
build up their personal resources
through the painstaking methods of
thrift Now and then someone does
strike it rich, so to speak, but where
one person may gain sudden wealth,
a million others, trying the same
thing, may lose their last penny.
Look up the histories of most of
| the large fortunes in America and
you will find that the vast majority
| were started with small sums of mon
| ey and grew to fabulous accumulations
of wealth through the normal pro-
! cesses of sound business and invest
| ment. The possession even of a small
sum of money was necessary before
the larger amounts could be built up.
1t is always to be remembered that
one of the great elements in thrift
is patience. 1t is hard for an am
bilious, vigorous person to exercise
this rare quality. The temptation
always is strong with such persons
to take chances and plunge. But
patient saving and the slow, steady
accumulation of funds will win out in
the long run. The great book of hui
man experience is eloquent in its as
sertions of this fact.
