C. HAMILTON (United Tress Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jan. 19. The decis ion of Manager Hendricks and Pres ident Itickey of the Cardinals to keep Rogers Hornsby, their brilliant young shortstop, regardless of the heavy rolls of money offered in re turn for him Is a commendable Btart in big league company for Hendricks. ' Just why it always should be con sidered necessary for New York and other more prosperous clubs to win pennants with material not devel oped by themselves is one of the baseball mysteries that still Is await ing an explanation. John McGraw purchased his last pennant and then showed he isn't such a whale of a manager by losing the world's ser ies. Charley Wceghman Is now try ing to buy a flag. Hornsby is one of the star youths of the game. Miller Higglns dug him up for S. Louis and lo St. Louis he belongs. If Rickey or Hendricks should decide to dispose of him St. Louis fanB would be rightfully In dignant about it. By laying aside the idealistic prin cipal of the thing It is a certain thing that Hornsby or some other fine infielder Is all now wanting to turn the Cubs into a pennant mach ine. They may have the necessary man on the way In the person of young Hollocher, shortstop, a grad uate of the same school which pro duced Bancroft and a few other lum inaries. It might be a great mis take for Weeghman to be flirting with big league lnfielders when he has such a promising youngster on the way. Obviously an unspoiled athlete, ready to listen to the Mitch ell Idea of ball playing, he would fit In more nicoly with the Cubs than some player already schooled and possessed of set notions. , Mitchell and Wceghman now have the basis for a pennant winner. Without further tinkering the club will make a tremendous fight, but it does not look good enough to win without additions. The club is sad ly in need of a third baseman and a first baseman. Fred Merkle, a splen did ball player, nevertheless is grow ing old in the harness and can't have an overly lot of good baseball left in his system. Charley Deal docs not measure up to the accepted standard of big league third basemen. There was a gap at shortstop, but this may be plugged up when Hollocher joins the club. No one doubts that Pete Kilduft is capable of filling at sec ond bse. Kllduff, as a matter of fact, represents ono of John Mc Graw's greatest mistakes. He al ready Is a star. Trades involving him would be mistakes for Weegh man, so there is little use of consid ering an exchange with the little in fielder involved. The Cubs-last year playod smart baseball under Fred Mitchell's tutel age. If they play that kind of base ball next season with their new ar ray of talent it is probablo they will make the dust thick for at least six pursuing clubs. School Teacher Ousted.

Children Will Tag Coal Shovels Jan.SOth White House Shovel Gets First Tag Governors and Mayors Will Proclaim Holiday Campaign to Reach Millions of Homes Nationnl Tag Day for Shovels comes January 30. The United States Furl Adminis tration wants every family to save ono shovelful of co.M tivcry day. This will mean n national Ravin? of 15,000,000 tons of coal. It will help win the war. At tho White House, th coal shovel In President Wilson's bnso ment will bo tugged first. And then 20.3SO.000 school boys and dlrlg or at least a larpo portion of them will bo out tagging tho shovels of America. They have a big job be fore them because thero ar 20, 000,000 families in America and nearly as many coal shovels. Govornors of States, mayors nnd county officials will proclaim Jan uary 30 as a holiday. Whilo Fuel Administrator Gnr field, assisted by P. II. Noyes. hend of the coal conservation movement In the United States, are finishing tag day plans, millions of trigs are being printed for general distribu tion throughout the country. Each tag Is printed on heavy cardboard. When each school In America gets Its tas supply, some time before Jan. 30, a "Tag Day Bee" will be held when tho school children will attach strings to the tags strings by which the tags will be attached to tho nation's shovels. The tagging campaign plans are simple. Hoys and girls will make a house to house canvass of their district. When there are ho coal shovels about a house, tho tat's will be placed on coal scuttles. Here's a description of tho tags to be used. On tho front side ap pears an illustration of a hand and shoveL On the shovel Is tho slo gan: "SAVE THAT SHOVELFUL OF COAIj A BAY FOR UNCLE BAM." On tho reverse side of each tag Is printed the following suggestions that make for more healthful liv ing conditions: 1. Cover furnace and plpea lth asbestos, or other Insula tion: also weatherstrip your windows, or stuff crocks with cotton. , I shovel dAy lias yom'Cbalsliovel een fagged yet? . v, REPRODUCTION OF TAG DAY POSTER 2.

Pavo caa and electric light as much aa possible thi will . savo coal for tho nation. Tho School children ns they mnko tholr rounds will ho fnrtlllcd with Instructions prepared by tho Fuel Administration and tho bureau of Mines showliu? how coal can bo saved by Individuals. Kom of the Ideas put forth are: "Wo" means everybody mnn, woman and child who burns coal: directly by feeding It Into a furnaco or a Brato; or indirectly, by causlnif others to burn it to produce heat or steam; or by purchnsliiK, tmlns or wasting tltlnKS that aro manufac tured which rcriulo the uao of coal in their manufac;ure. Let us talk directly to tho per son who uses coal: If you wive coal you kill two ldrdn with one stone. You savo money which you may Invest In a Liberty liond, nnd you flavfl coal which the nation needs for war purposes; and these purposes tncludo keeping tho fac tories running to supply all tho food and clothing and other necessary articles that tho ppnplo must hnve. and keeping tho workmen and their families warm and well fed. Tho consumption of coal has greatly Increased and Is still In creasing on account of the demand created by the war. Tho supply cannot bo increased In llko pro portion, because tho rapacity of tho mines Is limited by tho capacity of their shafts, cars nnd machinery, and by tho lack of a reserve supply of skilled miners. If yon nnd ail of us don't savo cnal ther la uan ger of a cnal famine, brlnjdnc renl suffering to thousands find rnuslng the war to last lonuer than It other wise would. How can you savo coal? If you aro burning It In nn open grato In your home, stop It; or to 6S per cent, of th het produced by burning coat In this manner es capes up the chlmucs Hotter than money because they earn money; buy a WAR-SAVINGS STAMP TODAY.
