The Secret Of
Higher Salaries

Col. Leonard P. Ayres, nationally known
economist and Vice President Of the
Cleveland Trust Co., said in an address
at Boston University: "In practical
terms, the problem is this: What is the
controlling factor in the earning power
of the individual? believe there is such
a controlling factor. and that it consists
in the ability to influence the actions OF
Others"
In referring to leaders he said: "They
have courage They are active -. They
have the ability to influence the actions
of others, and the exercise Of this pot0er
depends largely on the ability to speak
or ,Drite."
High salaries go to the leaders in any
field of endeavor. YOUR future earnings
may depend on developing latent quail
ties now dormant because of the lack
of the power Of convincing self express
sion.

some instances bivouacs were made
with entire disregard to enemy obser-
vation and would have been bombed
and blasted out of existence by artil-
lery before their troops were settled
down. Training in night marching
also was said to have been overlooked.
1t was said to have been noticeable
that some commanders appeared re-
luctant to put their troops in over
night bivouacs. Fault also was found
with some of the methods Of feeding
the men when out on maneuvers. In

Play Today

Despite the cold weather two
college baseball games are to be
played this afternoon.
George Washington University
meets Ohio State on the East Ell
lipse diamond, and Maryland op'
poses University of Vermont at
College Park.
The G. W.-O. S. U. game is the
second Of a two-game series be.
tween the teams. o. S. U. took the
first game, played yesterday by a
score of II to 6.
The Colonials expect to do much
better today than they did yester
day. AS at matter of face, they'll
have to, if they hope to win over
the Buckeyes.
Errors Help Ohio
o. S. U. managed a neat second
inning yesterday. The Buckeyes
combined five hits, including q
triple by Outfielder Washburn
with a couple of C. w. errors to
score six runs. They added q
single counter in the fifth, one in
the seventh. one in the eighth, and
two in the ninth,
G. w. struggled Valiantly to
overcome the visiting team but
failed badly. At the end of the
sixth inning, the score was at
7 to 6, but that's as close as the
Colonials were able to come to the
Buckeyes.
The Chumbris brothers, Shorty
and Lefty" will be in Maryland S
lineup against Vermont. The
former will play shortstop and top
the batting order. The latter will
play in the outfield and will bat
second.

Waverly Wheeler, Terp third

NEW YORK, March 27.-With

two Of which are uncertain start
ers, the Coral Gables Spring Han
dicap, $2,500 added money fea-
ture at Tropical Park, Fla, this
afternoon doesn't shape up as a
very alluring number.
Dnieper and Stocks are entered
in other heats as well as this and
their owners may elect to start
them in the secondary tiltS. That
would leave Indian Head, Chance
Ray, Blackbirder. Gyral, Paradis-
ical and Round Table. Indian
Head is in prime form at present
and may snare the winners por-
tion but will have to overcome the
stretch running ability of Black
birder, a somewhat classy but not
always consistent racer. The dis
tance is a mile and an eighth.
WOOdSide Cap on Tap
California racing at Tanforan
will be headed by the Woodside
Handicap, a gallop of six furlongs
for a purse Of $2,500 added. OF
the IA horses listed, I like the

at one mile at the EPSON Downs
course in Texas. Coupled with
Solar Hawk, Eagle Pass will rep
resent the Valdina Farm. The
Dawson entry of Salaam and Bos-
ton Sound shapes up as a factor
as does also the top-weighted
Sound Advice which will tote 118
pounds. Eagle Pass is under 1903.
Beth Macaw, which was diSquan-

verdict given to Sir Midas, meets
the latter again today in the fea-

Der races, a three-mile test over
the beautiful Springdale course.
Today's meet at Camden is of
further interest to this section, for
the reason that Mrs. Randolph
SCOTS Golden Reel moves up a
peg and bites off no less a light
than F. Ambrose Clarks Birmlng-
ham, a real good horse. The mis-
tress of Montpelier has great con-
fidence in the four-year-old son
of Golden Guinea-Aurelia-a. con
fidence shared by many who
watched the colt win four races
over brush.
Overflow Crowd
Harry D. Kirkover, Buffalo
sportsman in charge of today's
Camden meeting, sends word that
the little Carolina town is filled
to overflowing with followers OF
the chase and that never before
in the history Of the Carolina clas-
sic has such interest been shown in
the Springdale poSt-and-ran event.
Quite naturally, indigo is fav'
ored to take the Carolina cup. His
main competition is expected to
come from Escape III, winner OF
the SandhillS test of a week ago,
although no one with sense would
dare count out such proved per-
formers as Fugitive and Ostend.
1t will be recalled that Indigo
broke down last year while being
readied for the Maryland Hunt
Cup. While some feel that Indigo'S
legs may be uncertain, Charlie
Hicks, who trains him, insists the
lepper never before has been in
better condition and is ready for
the issue.
Golden Reels test will come in
the Springdale Steeplechase, an
event of about two and a quarter
miles over brush. Mrs. Scott's IA
vorite will tote load of only l5O
pounds as against 1862 for Birming,
ham. Birmingham is a siX-year-old,
which accounts for the l9pound
pull in weight held by Golden Reel,
since each is picking up a seven
pound penalty, Golden Reel from
143 and Birmingham from 1855,
Both Golden Reel and Birming-
ham are winners of $500 or more
and of four races or more, which
fact accounts for the seVen-pound
penalties.
Today's card at Camden opens
with the Palmetto SteeplechaSe,
about two miles over a timber
course. This event is for four-year'
olds and upward that have never
won over timber or more than
once over brush.
