Secrets of Good Advertising
n
Concentration fill Important
An eight-inch advertisement in one newspaper will bring much bigger results than a two-inch advertisement in four newspapers. Don't skip around from one newspaper to another. Success in advertising comes from hammering away at the same crowd. Pick out the newspaper which has the kind of readers you want for customers, and then stick. If you want to make an advertisement hit all you need to do is to talk to the reader of the newspaper as you talk across the counter the counter to a customer. Simply talk. That's all. Be sincere about it. Let your words ring true. The people will listen. They like it. The fact that your advertisement appears continuously in a reputable newspaper stimulates public confidence. Your shop advances step by step in the estimation of thousands of people - who may be months in getting around to make their first purchase. , ' Originality may be good, but an advertisement that sells goods, even if copied, is better.

ne inaiana tiarnor Beit team re
cruited from the office force at th
hump office, last Saturday defeated th
C, l. S. machinists by a score of 7 to 6. It was a hotly contested game from start to finish. The "Hump" boys are
still holding on to their 1,000 per cent
having won all three games that were
played this season.
Bennett and Arter were the battery
for the I. H. B. team, while Crockett
Jones and Kerger officiated for the ma
chinists.

Detroit, Mich., April 29. In the same rampant style that has marked their
play since leaving home, the White Sox i
raked in anolhe rvietory from the dis-
onsolate Tigers yesterday, making the eventh straight on the read and giv-
ng them a stronger hold than ever on
first place. The score yesterday was 9 to 5 and . the battle took place in the midst of a drizzling rain and chilly east
wind.
A second inning rampage gave Chi-
ago four runs and the lead and al-
hough Detroit rallied in the sixth and hreatened, Manager Callahan switched
pitchers on them just at the critical
ime. putting an end to their outburst, n the meantime the Sox kept on bating home more runs, so were never in
any great danger or coming out on the
short end.
Bill Burns, the sleepy southpaw, who
was once a box pitcher, then later a hurlor for the Reds, but now one of De-
roit's staff, was on the slab for the
home team, but Bill's famous "sleep
ball" wasn't working well and the Sox
ammed him hard until after six in
nings had been finished he gave way to
pinch hitter and young Dubuc finish
ed the game.

Delirious Knockout Marks
Heavyweight Bout in Second Round of Meet.
Moderating temperature melted the
icicles in the air and converted them
over night into a rain storm that not only kept the Cubs and Cardinals from completing their current series of com
bats yesterday but even kept the wild
est baseball maniacs Inside. The two
teams will try tdplay off the postponed game this afternoon, the date being a,n open one for both. '
Obeying Imperative orders, the Cubs
reported at the ball park for morning practice, but there was nothing to do but turn round and paddle back again, for the rain beat the players to it by several hours and made the use of the
park for any other purpose than navigation Impossible.
There was much disappointment In
both camps. Chance's men wanted to
complete, while they
for It, the Job of exacting revenge from the Cardinals for what happened last
Friday. Moreover, they wanted today
to complete the work of getting settled in summer quarters, few of them having located more than temporary stop
ping places in advance of the opening of
the eason. The Cardinals wanted to return to that dear St. Louis and were loath to remain here another twentyfour hours, this being one of the few months in which It is more comfortable at the other end of the drainage canal than at this end.
Omaha. Neb., April .29. Featured by a knockout in the boxing department, the Y. M. C. A. athletic indoor meet on
Saturday night was won by the Omaha high school with 22 points, 6maha T. M. C. A. second with 19, and Nebraska university third, IS, No records were broken, but the enthusiasm was extreme, an audience of several thousand cheering the amateurs, nearly 600 of whom were entered. The boxing exhibitions furnished considerable excitement, and the first bout was even sensational. Dennis Ryan and Joe Wharton, local men, both heavyweights, "went at it In fast fashion. The first round brought a big crowd to that portion of the arena surrounding the
ring. The second round had gone only a minute when Ryan, with a terrific smash to Wharton's Jaw, sent him to the floor. Being an amateur affair, no count was taken, but it took several minutes for officials to revive Wharton, who was removed to a dressing room.

His owner and attendants are at a los sto account for The Manager's Illness. On Saturday he was breezed a mile in extremely fast time and came out of the work in fine shape. Hours afterward, however, signs of fever commenced to make themselves apparent, and despite the fact that several specialists were called in nothing that was done seemed to help the ailing animal. It would be one of the greatest turf disappointments of the past quarter of a century should the grand Voter colt be prevented by death from starting In Kentucky's blue ribbon event. Not only that, but his owner and admirers

CUB RECRUITS-WARD MILLER, OUTFIELDER
Nate Lewis has received word from
his navy scrapper, Phil Schlossberg. j that he is matched to box at New Or-1 leans Wednesday. Schlossberg Is at the southern town with one of Uncle Sam's battleships and proposes to give the tars a chance to see him in action on shore. His opponent will be the Chicago Italian, Tony Caponi, who left here last night for the battle scene. Schlossberg Is well and favorably known in Chicago, having boxed Tim O'Neil tW'Ice in these parts, getting a draw and a win. The sailor hopes to meet Georges Carpentier in Paris some day, when his battleship drops anchor along the French coast. Phil's fast left hand should keep him out of danger from Caponi for ten rounds. Charlie White, Chicago's leading featherweight, is down in Johnny Dundee's home town, Syracuse, N. Y., waiting for the gong to start him off in a ten-round argument with the hard-hitting John tomorrow night. Manager Nate Lewis leaves here today to handle White In this battle. Dundee recently won a featherweight tourney in NewYork,, and was rewarded with a May match with Champion Johnny Kilbane. White dopes it out that if he whales
Dundee he may nose him out of the
New York bout. Charlie has a longing for another battle with the champ and will not rest peacefully until he gets it.
White looks better than Dundee, but he'll have to make Johnny's face over
again to get the popular decision In Syracuse. .
