HORXSHY WOULD MAKE
PENNANT MACHINE OK Cl'US
By H. 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.

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. ,

.4. Tost your aihcs by sift

6. 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
