De ShOng's Record Suffers.
in THIS PHILADELPHIA finale Lutl

IN THIS Philadelphia finale Luther
<Thomas outpitched Jimmy De
Shong in the first game to nose him
out in keen fight. Here was a game
that just played havoc with De Shong's
pitching record. He absorbed his six
teenth defeat as against Is wins. Had
he won it would have been Is wins
and Is losses. which would put Jimmy
above the 500 mark in victories and
defeats. Just shows how one game
can mar pitchers seasons record.
De Shong was beaten by Frank
Hayes, the stout catcher, and two
rookie stars that only lately joined the
Athletics In the sixth inning Gene
Hasson. slugging first baseman, Socked
a double. Then Babe Barna, the giant
foot ball star from the University of
West Virginia, who also can play
base ball, unloosed single Three
runs scored when Hayes cannonaded
de luxe homer, the masterpiece of
the nine he has socked this year. The
ball hit the roof of the left-held
stands and bounded into the adjoining
block.
Then in the next inning Hayes drew
a pass with the bases full to force in
the winning run. Hayes was the
principal malefactor in the ruin of
De Shong's 1887 pitching record.

GEORGE WASHINGTON CASE,

One Win Conceded Hubbell.

RUT with Billy Terry's team limp
ing and sore from the bitter fight
with Chicago's Cubs, the National
Leaguers will be pushovers and also
popovers for the Yankees.
1t is conceded that Don Carlos Hub
bell will beat the Yankees in one
game. Don Carlos is a pitcher on any
rubber and will stifle the Yankee bats
just once. II he comes back the sec
ond time, the Rupperts will NOV him
down. No other Giant pitcher will
stop the Yankee artillery unless some
bastard blows pepper in the eyes of
Gehrig, Di Maggie and Dickey.
As 1 see it, the Yankees not only
are superior in batting power but they
have better pitching and better de-
fensive outfeld and infeld. There is
little need going over the lineup man
for man. Just lump them all in the
same basket, and the Yanks have the
margin

ON MAIL ORDER HOUSES

Thousands OF dollars annually go out of Holmes County
10 maui order houses for goods that could just as well be
secured from a local merchant in this County. Each year the
mail order houses reap a tremendous profit all because the
local merchant has to a great extent, not done his best as a
salesman.
You ask why we blame the local merchant? Well tell
you.
The local merchant has failed to educate his customers
TO buying at home. He has let someone come in and sell with
a catalog what he won't take the trouble to sell through the
columns of his weekly newspaper that is read from cover to
cover by his customers. Regardless of how much the news
paper might write from week to week about the local mer-
chant having better values and better prices the reader and
customer is not going to pay a great deal of attention to it
until the merchant proves what he has by advertising it in
black and white.
Something could be done about this vast volume of
business that is going out of town if you, Mr.. Merchant,
would get wise. We know that you have better values than
the ordinary mail house. We know your service is much
behind every piece of goods you sell. We know that you
won't pass a shoddy piece of goods on to your customer. We
know that you should have the business by virtue of being
a home institution, doing your part toward supporting our
schools, churches and civic betterment projects.
BUT DO THEY KNOW IT.
We have heard several different merchants express
their convictions that nothing could be done about the mail
order houses. We disagree with them heartily. Something
can be done about them if only you try and try hard enough.
We believe in the fundamental soundness of our people
We believe that if you, as a good business man, can and will
show your potential customers where they will be benefiting
themselves and the community by trading at home that
they will respond to your efforts and reward you with their
business.
Having the goods doesn't mean a thing unless you can
deliver. right into the hands of your customers

The fear that the children's alb
