ti.irlra .. manaifer Of the
Louis Cardinal-, and who. since the close
of the baseball season in
has been in Paris as a Knights of Co
lumbus secretary, returned to the United
Wales yesterday on the White Star liner
Mergantic from Liverpool.
Hendricks declared that the outlook
for a successful baseball year for 1919
was most bright and that
major league players now wl tt ' General
Pershing's army, would undoub tedly be
home before the spring training began.

Soldier Wast Oame
"Don't think for a . minute hat the
soldiers don't want naHehalt. They
pta y e d a lot of baseball In ftsnc. nd.
It Is probnble that a number of future
major league stars are In the makln
among soldier teams as a result.
Asked regarding the future of tW
Cardinals. Hendricks replied that he
only had a line on two or three of his
rlayers. Frank Snyder, first catcher.
U stationed at Dijon with a motor
transport corps, and Hendricks has lit
tle hope of his being mustered ou..
Walter Cruise and Jack Smith. St. LouU
outfielders, and Second Baseman Jack
Miller are all said to be In France, but
Hendricks was unable1 to locate them.
Rickey May May Over
Branch Mickey, who is now a major
in the chemical warfare service a.
Chaumont. which Is General Pershing s
headquarters, may not be able to-J-turn
very soon, according to the Carul
nal .pilot.
While abroad. Hendricks visited Chateau-Thierry,
and in the course of per
formance of his duties came in contact
with thousands of doughboys.
"I ran into boys from every town In
which I used to manage a club." said
Jack. "I was with Evers part of the
time. and. believe me. John
talnly popular abroad."
Qnlnlan In Bad Way
During a visit to a hospital In the
Argonne district Hendricks found
Tommy Qulnlaii. a ballplayer who has
seen service with Columbus, Salt Lake
and Oakland, and who was once given
' a trial by the White Sox. Quintan had
his left eye shot out and his left leg
hot off eight hours before the armis
tice was signed.
"And there are a lot of more ballplay
ers, many of them well known to the
minors, who more than did their bit,"
' aald Hendricks.
Getting back to the Cards, he said :
"If we can' get our players back, the
: Cardinals will be strong next season.
We lost nine players who were really
vital to the club up to July 1. They
were: Jack Smfth and Walt Cruise,
outfielders ; Snyder, catcher ; Miller,
second "baseman ; B,aird, third baseman,
.and Goodwin, May, Sherdell and Horst
"man, pitchers. Give us these players
and you'll se a different team in St.
Louis."

Prarikle Burns, the New Jersey boxer,
is considering the question of advancing
into the featherweight division and mak;
ing an effort to capture the title of that
class. Burns' weight has increased to a
point where he could not comply with
the 118-pound mark dictated- by Pete
Herman, the champion of the bantam
class.
It would be an interesting thing if
a fighter of Burns' class entered the
featherweight class, 'for there is a woe
ful lack of quality among those now
in that division.
Kilbane still officially is the cham
pion of the division and will remain the
title holder till Buch time as he formally
announces his retirement or is beaten
In the ring. It would be advisable for
Burns to send a polite challenge to Kil

champion make a match with the chal
lenger or else resign his title. This
would pave th wa;- for Burns to lay

For 18 long years ever since 1901
"Silk" O'Loughlin reigned as one
of the game's greatest arbiteVs. In
all that time no ball players ever
won a bout at ' repartee with him,
and no one effer prevailed on him
to change a decision. It was
O'Loughlin who first said :
One or the Other
"There is no such thing as a close
decision. The man is either safe
or out." ' - j.-
And he maintained this maxim
throughout his career., '
Because of his ability O'Loughlin '
was seldom compelled. to exert the
full limit of his futltoritjttn deal
ing with players." He ruled with a
hand of iron and for that reason he
was unpopular with the men In uni
form. But "Silk" was the idol of tho
fans. He knew the carrying power
and resonance of his voice, and he
used it to inform the whole coun
tryside of what was going on with
in the ball park. His famous
"strike tuh," often imitated, will
live always.
Idol of Bleachers
Many incidents of O'Loughlin's
verbal bouts with the players are
told and retold. A player once said
to him :
"You are wrong. Silk, I tell you,
your are dead wrong."
"Tut, tut, my ljoy," replied "Silk"
in as silky a toje as he ever used
toward the players, "where do you
get that stuff? I am never wrong.
I never made a wrong decision in
my life."
It was just O'Loughlin's way. He
knew and admitted that every um
pire may make mistakes. He knew
it was only human. But he never
admitted as. much to a ball player
with tho exception of possibly one
instance in a verbal bout which he
won, as he always won them.
It is told that one famous hitter
some say it was Callahan once hit
a liner over the wall and pulled up
at second to hear "Silk" shout
"Foul."
"You're crazy. You're blind,"
shouted the player.
"That ball was fair by 10 feet."
"You're dead wrong." retorted
O'Loughlin, who evidently had
pulled a real one, for he is said to
have added in a lowered voice :
"It was only fair by two feet."

The Model 90
Thrift
New
Price
$9B5
. o. b, Toledo
Established Overland policy is apparent in the es
tablishment of this new price at this time. ,
That policy is now as it has been in the past
quantity production of a quality car
economies of large purchasing power, and standard
ized factory methods ,
-small per car profit. '
And the result is now as it has been in the past
the ruling sensible automobile value of the season
Aside from price, the Model 90 Overland Thrift Car
Is the sensible automobile to buy on its record.
Over one hundred thousand of these cars are giving
their owners service ' that is far more than merely satis
factory. It is affording them individual transportation at re
markably low cost transportation of the utmost de
pendability and real comfort.
And considered with the price, $985 f. o. b. Toledo,
the intrinsic value is compelling.
It establishes Overland, as heretofore, the ruling
sensible automobile value of the season.
Production cannot immediately be restored to normal.
4- But we have not let price wait upon the lowering of
costs through the increase in production. (
We have anticipated it, you have it now, and now is
the time to buy.
We also anticipate a demand for this car that we must
necessarily fall short of fully supplying until we shall fully
have restored normal factory conditions.
Cars on hand are few.
We are doing our utmost and will continue to do
everything in our power to bring stocks of cars up to working .
requirements with the least-possible delay.
Shipments are already moving in fair quantity.
Your purchase if made this season should have your
attention now. '
We are ready--come in and see us.
