Few Fans In Country Who Can Believe
Larry Lajoie, of the Naps, Has Laid
Down on Pilot Birmingham
New York.—There are few fans In the
country today who can believe the
charges brought by Manager Joe Birm
ingham of the Naps that Barry Lajoie
has laid down on him—that the great
Frenchman has not given the club the
best that was in him.
Those who know Lajoie personally
and those who know him only through
his record as a ball player cannot be
lieve that Birmingham's charges are
founded on fact. For eighteen years
Lajoie has been in big league baseball
and during all those years he has been
a credit and an honor to the game. For
eighteen years not a breath of scandal
has fluttered about his name.
And now comes Birmingham, disgrunt
led and angered because lie is the leader
of a tail end team and attempts to
blacken the name of a man who has
done a hundred times more for baseball
than he ever has done or ever will do,
and wdiose memory will live and be cher
ished for decades after Birmingham’s has
been forgotten.
A Fear?
Does Birmingham wish to get rid of
Lajoie because he fears that the vet
eran second baseman may supplant him
as manager? There are some who feel
that this might be the underlying cause
for Birmingham's charges against the
veteran. Several months ago a report
was current that such a change would
take place. Birmingham is said to have
a contract that still has two years to
run, but managers are not always re
tained for the full length of their con
tract.
None of those who know the great
Frenchman intimately can believe for
one moment that he would deliberately
plot against any man. Lajoie stacks up
us a man, clean and straight, and one
who had given the best that is in him to
his superiors for 10 years. Certain it
seems that now, in the twilight of his
wonderful career, he could not change
his nature; and he would not sully his
name by any quitting tactics. Lajoie
has not been hitting them out this year.
His batting has been woefully weak.
But there has been nothing wrong with
bis fielding, nothing wrong with his
throwing. He still is. despite his 39
spindles in the world today, and it will
therefore be seen that 65 per cent, or
almost two-thirds of them, are In the
countries at war.
Of the 50,000,000 spindles outside of
war territory 6,000,000 ahe in India
and can only be operated on coarse
fabrics, while 2,000,000 are in Japan
and are now being operated day and
night, or to the full limit of their ca
pacity.
It is therefore apparent that the
32,000,000 spindles in the United
States must be depended upon by the
world for much of the goods with
which they are now being supplied
by the 93,000,000 spindles in the war
territory.
Of course, cotton manufacturing will
not be entirely suspended in the wvr
territory, but there will at least be a
partial suspension and business and
financial conditions will be such that
it will be difficult to market their
products through the usual channels.
The difficulty of securing a supply
of cotton will also be a considerable
factor In forcing curtailment in these
countries.
As it appears to us, cotton must de
cline, because the war countries which
now consume 6,900,000 bales of Amer
ican cotton, will not be able to use
anything like their normal amount.
Cotton goods will be in great de
mand because the $65,000,000 of im
ported goods, part of which we can
supply, will be removed from compe
tition with our home mills and our
FREE ADVICE
TO SICK WOMEN
Thousands Have Been Helped
By Common Sense
Suggestions.
Women suffering from any form of
female ills are invited to communicate
strict confidence. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to a woman ;
thus has been established a confidential
correspondence which has extended over
many years and which has never been
broken. Never have they published a
testimonial or used a letter without the
written consent of the writer, and never
has the Company allowed these confi
dential letters to get out of their pos
session, as the hundreds of thousands
of them in their files will attest.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which they have to draw from, it is more
than possible that they possess the very
knowledge needed in your case. Noth
ing is asked in return except your good
will, and their advice has helped thou
sands. Surely any woman, rich or poor,
should he glad to take advantage of this
generous offer of assistance. Address

Use Charges.
If Birmingham ' bases his charges
against Lajoie on the fact that die Isn’t
hitting, it would seem that Lajoie is
being treated unjustly. Lajoie has been
in a slump and batting slumps come fre
quently in the careers of even the most
wonderful and most consistent sluggers.
This isn't tile first batting slump that
Lajoie has encountered. Back in 1907
and 190 S the best he could do was .299
and .259. The general verdict then was
—“He’s through.” Lajoie upset the dope
by coming back in 1909 with .321, with
354 in 1910, .305 in 1911, .368 in 1912,
and .335 in 1913.
This year Lajoie hasn't been able to
bit them for better than about .223. His
grand average covering all the other
years of fhls career is .331—the best
average ever compiled by anyone over
such a lengthy stretch. It’s a wonder
ful record and one o doubt that brought
to Lajojie a feeling of pride.
Tear Average Dcwn.
An average of .223 for this season will
tea Lajole's general average down some
thing like 8 or 9 points. Bringing that
down to around .342 it still remains a
wonderful recod but not such a seem
ingly unbeatable oe as .351. Does any
one think that Lajoie deliberately would
lay down in his hitting, knowing full
well that such an act would rob him in
the final years of his baseball career of
the honov of retiring with a grand aver
age better than ay batsman ever made
before?
Lajoie. during the ten years or so of
his conection with the Cleveland club
has made thousands of intimate friends
there. He has made thousands of in
timate friends along the circuit. And he
has millions of admirers. Does anyone
think that Lajoie would do anything that
would cause him the loss of those
friendships, lose for him the admiration
that millions have.
On the face of fthings it looks as if
Birmingham’s charges, if correctly quot
ed, are without foundation
32,000,000 spindles must supply goods
to fill the vacancy caused by the mur
tailment of 93,000,000 spindles in tho
war countries.
England alone exported over 7,000,-
000,000 yards of cloth during 1913, and
a small portion of that trade turned • o
our mills would mean an advance In

William Wallace—Scotland’s Great Patriot
FOR nearly seven hundred years the sons and daughters of Scotland have revered the memory of pftrg)
Wallace. It is not too much to say that this will continue for seventy times seven hundred years.
When but a youth die love of Personal and National Liberty burned so fiercely in the breast of jfJttji
\X4llace that he revolted against England's tyrannous rule. At the head of his gallant band cf riders he
won skirmish after skirmish, and finally, at the opportune time, quickly organized an army and routed the IjP®
English at Stirling Bridge. William Wallace admired a good Barley-Malt brew just as do the Scotchmen of raffae
to-day. Prohibition has ever been a detestable word to the Scotch people. They will not have it enter into |JPSI
their private lives, and the Scotch vote is always registered by a large majority against such sumptuary bHBhB
legislation. In America they have done much to build up the country. Thousands of our solid Scotcn citi- JeBHI
zens are patrons of the honest brews of Anheuser-Busch and have been constant users of BUDWEISER-
They have helped to make the annual sales of this world-famed brand exceed those of any other beer
by millions of bottles. ANHEUSER-BUSCH -ST.LOUIS.U.S.A. f, :l§jß
