Importance and the Persons

NEW YORK, Nov. 16. — The sale
of the Boston American League club,
within a month after the team hail
won the world’s championship, is
thought by many close followers of
baseball politics to mark the first of
a number of changes and readjust
ments in major league circles. For
mer 1‘resident .1. .1. Lannin made no
secret of the fact that the Red Sox
were for sale, and if rumors and in
ner circle gossip can he accepted at
face value several other club owners
am just as willing to dispose of their
holdings, but lack the frangness of
Lannin.
The president of the Boston Aeri
eans placed a price of $750,000 upon
the club early in the present year,
and it is understood, was offered and
refused $500,000. I'ndcr the circum
stances the sale of the Red Sox, while
the glamor of the world’s scries vic
tory was still fresh, at $675,000 ap
pears in the light of a compromise.
Judging irom past results and attend
ance figures at Boston the new own
ers made an excellent deal when the
value of the dub, franchise and park
property is taken into consideration.
The Boston (Tub entered the Ameri
can league in Tool and since that sea
son has won the junior league pen
nant five times and the world’s cham
pionship three times. In the sixteen
years the Red Sox finished fourth or
better every season except in 1906
i x and 1911. The average position
" >1111 IUI uin lllll (It'I IUU VVOTKS
out as 1-4. Furthermore, Boston has
always been noted as a good baseball
town, supporting its clubs with con
sistency whether winners or loeers.
Harry Frazee, the new head of the
club, while a young man, has always
been a (lose followers of sports and
is far from being a novice in the pro
moting line. In addition to his many
theatrical ventures, he has hacked sev
eral sporting events of more than or
dinary prominence, including the
heavyweight championship bout at Ha
vana, Cuba, when Jess Willard wrest
ed the title from Jack Johnson. As
a result he does not enter big league
baseball circles without preliminary
training. Because of Ids close know
ledge of the amusement trend of the
American public, Frazee should prove
a valuable addition to the roster of
baseball magnates.
With the growing prosperity of
Cuba, yachting lias developed Into one
of the leading sports of wealthy Cu
bans and the Havana Yacht Club races
are now a feature of the season. Many
of the amateur waehtsmen feel that
they have outgrown the Bonder type
of racing craft, and orders have been
placed in this country for several of
the larger racing yachts. When these
a- ' launched it is hoped that some
of the American yachts owners may
he induced to visit Cub and partici
pate in a series of international races.
If the outcome of those races warrants
several of the wealthy Cuban enthsi
asts may combine and challenge for
the America's cup within the next few
years.
The new plan for the Intercollegiate
Tennis League among eastern colleges
has been outlined as follows:
"The league embraces Yale, Har
vard, Princeton, Pennsylvania and
Cornell. Each team will play each
other team in the league a match of at
least four men, four singles and two
doubles; if possible, a six man match
will he played. These matches will
take place in the spring of the year,
and an intercollegiate league cham
pionship banner will he awarded the
leading team at the end of the season.
The league will be under the auspices
of the Intercollegiate Tennis Associa
tion and will have the captains of ihe
league teams as an executive commit
tee. It is believed that the league
matches will increase collegiate in
terest in tennis and give a definite
purpose to the spring matches.”

A fire of mysterious origin caused
the partial destruction of the new
combination passenger and baggage
coach on ihe government railroad at
Seward recently. The fire is believed
to have caught from the heater in the
car, although ihe fire in that should
have been out unless some outsider
had replenished it after the car had
been put in the yards.
Charles Hayes, of the firm of Hayes
& Hayden, lessees of the War Eagle
copper mine, near Whitehorse, was
found lying in the bottom of the
sump shaft at the mine in an union
Bcious condition. He was found to
have sustained no broken hones from
the 20 foot fall, but was badly bruised
about the head and shoulders.

The summer's work In the Tolo
vana has closed down and the heavy
rains at the close of the season are
reported to have permitted the oper
ators to clean up everything. It is
estimated that the output for the dis
trict for the season will be about
|900,000.

KING ALBERT THANKS AMERICA.
Mr. Henry Clews, treasurer of the
Dollar Christmas Fund, Broad street,
New York, has just received the fol
lowing letter from Mr. J. lngenhleek,
state secretary to King Albert of Bel
gium:
“The king and queen are delighted
to'hear that you contemplate another
Christmas appeal. Once again your
work testifies to the sympathy for the
suffering of our fellow countrymen,
of which Americans have already giv
en abundant proof. To all those who
have helped, their majesties desire to
send their grateful acknowledgment.”
The object of the Dollar Christmas
Fund is to give destitute Belgian child
ren a Christmas dinner and help the
commission for relief in furnishing
one square meal a day during the
winter. To.,this end $8,000 have been
subscribed during the last few days.
Mr. Clews, in renewing his appeal for
aid, quotes official reports to show
that the vitality of the Belgian peo
ple has been sorely drained by war
and that the children are suffering
most.

Advertising
Surely
Pays.
By BREEN.
The biggest business
enterprises in this coun
try were built upon ad
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually in
the newspapers of the
United State* is enor- I I
mous.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally will
find some self sufficient
business man who will
declare he doesn’t need
advertising.
Every man in every
business needs advertis
ing. Some need it more
than others. It is non
sense to say that a cer
tain article sells itself. |

The Public.
By BREEN.
Don’t suffer from ego.
You may think that
everybody in town knows
where you are located
and what you have to
offer. Don t make this
grievous mistake.
The public is fickle.
The public is forgetful.
It needs to be continually
reminded where you are
and what you are doing.
If you don’t let it know
through the columns of
a newspaper it soon will
transfer its trade.
Don’t think your busi
ness “so well estab
lished” it doesn’t need
advertising. New York’s
biggest bank seeks ad
vertising. It probably is
as “well established” as
most enterprises.

By BREEN.
If business is a bit
poor don’t cry that the
country is going to the
bowwows. Things will
come out all r'ight.
When business life is at
a low ebb newspaper
advertising will help sus
tain it. When the finan
cial and business de
pression was at its height
a Pacific coast merchant
spent $ 100,000 in a
newspaper ad. campaign.
The results more than
justified his optimism.
The Wall street
maxim is, “Buy when
everybody is selling; sell
when everybody is buy
ing.” If one wants to
buy or sell anything he
consults the newspapers.
