When William Wrigley likes a
ball player he likes him. and that
explains why Rogers Hornsby is a
member of the Cub cabinet and
the man upon whom Wrigley pins
his Judgment to win the flag.
Several years ago Wrigley liked
Lefty O'Doul's batting so much on
the Coast that he paid 1000
out Of his own pocket and bought
the heavy-hitting ex-pitcher.
Joe Mccarthy gave O'DOuI the
Once-Over and, like John Nc
Graw and Miller Higgins,
passed him on.
Wrigley took his lacing like a
major and never uttered a word.
It was not until late last summer
that the owner of the Cubs had
reason to regret the passing CT
O'Doul with a real test.
Lefty met the Cubs when they
were punch drunk and slammed
drive over the wall at Philadel-
phia that crushed the Cubs spirit,

Library Installs
New Equipment

A new system of lending books
was installed Wednesday at the
city library by which the library
hopes to give quicker and more
accurate service to the public, and
to keep more accurate records.
With a book charging machine
and new identification cards, the
system requires that the patron
present his card each time. The
cards are OF a suitable size for
purse or pocket and in order TO
obtain a book without this card
the customer must pay fee OF
five cents for O number Slip since
this necessitates extra time and
work.
AS the improvement in the serv-
ice is the chief aim OF this new
system, the library will appreci-
ate the cooperation Of the public in
the effort To improve the lending
technique.
