EDDIE COLLINS GIVES BOOZE STRONG WALLOP Famous Player Urges Temper ance in Address Before Church Audience PALMYRA, N J., Feb. 21 Eddio Col lins, star second bagger of tho White Sox and formerly a. member of tho Ath letics' J100.000 Inlleld, made a homo-run hit with 500 persons who heard him break Into tho Gospel team leaguo yesterday afternoon In his first venture as a plat form speaker before a church audience. They applauded llko world's series fans when he handed "booze" sonic wallops that would havo dono credit to "Billy" Sunday. That "Billy" himself could not havo been on the bleachers to cheer Eddio was a keen disappointment to tho great evangelist, who sent a message through the Rev. S. Monroe Vansant, pastor of the Epworth Methodist Church, express ing hla delight at tho Idea that great play ers like Collins would come out as pub lic exponents of clean living T como to bring a messago to your young peoplo from a baseball player's viewpoint of tho necessity of clean liv ing, and I'll be glad If anything I can eay will help any of yau tight tho bat tle of life under the right rules," he said. "Ltfe Is a whole lot like playing base ball under Connie Mack's orders. Mack la tho greatest baseball general tho world has ever known, and any man who has ever played on the old Ath letics honors, resperts and lovea tho boss. Connie has established nn honor system In tho Athletics that keeps his men In the best physical trim through out the year. He gives his players a sot of rules at the beginning of tho Season, then he says: "Boys, give me tho best you've got. You know enough to keep In condition, and you've got to bo In condition to put It across." BENEFIT FOR TWO CHARITIES Inner Mission to Give Entertainment for Lutheran Settlement and Hospital Musical and dramatlo stars will take part In a program for the benefit of the Lutheran Settlement and the Hospice Building fund, to bo rendered at Scottish Bite, Hall tonight.

The benefit Is under the auspices of the Women's Auxiliary of tho Inner Mission Society The patronesses Include Mrs, Atnoa Blrdsall, Jr., Mrs. Rudolph C. Saut ter, Mrs. Frederick O, Ilassold, Mrs. F. Mrlon Iiall, Mrs, 1 P Hagan, Mrs. Luther P. Reed, Mrs. W M, Koons, Mrs. A. If. Jamison and Mrs. Carl Sultzberger. The Lutheran Settlement, founded In 1S03, s et JJ3J Frankford avenue, and th Lutheran Hospice Is at 157 North 20th street. Both quarters are cramped. Fortunnto It was that some paragrnphor way back In tho cnily days of tho InBt centuiy Htnilcd, for lark of news, tho Btory that George Washington Incurred the stem dlsplesuic of Futlicr Washing ton by blithely chopping down fntlicr's favorite chony trci with his hatchet and receding tho usual punishment In lieu of the gratitude that should havo beon shown him. As with the other stories of George, there Is .a certain degree of io mance between tho beginning and tho end. "Father," sobbed George, ns he rubbed tho spot where tho hlrkory had descend ed, "I did it. I cannot tell n He." Bomanco? All the stories about the Im mortal helmsman of tho colonies fairly breathe tho thing. Crossing tho Dela ware? Washington in tho van. Binves the Ice and cold In a rowhoat. Saves tho causo of tho Revolution with tho capturo of tho Hessians. All of which has descended for genera tions, even unto this and even unto tho manufacturers who make tho novelties Father Penn buys. NOVELTIES THE VOCIUI3. Tho hatchet still rules. But not far In tho rear troop up scores of new things to aid In tho celebration of tho day. Planter stumps (painted, of course) of tho tree that Washington hacked down, cotton anil plaster cherries form tho backbone of tho novelties, but tho sugared replica of tho threo-cornerod Continental hat and the Holdlur hhiistllf standing In a wooden iowbo.it (It oats!) Lring some thing new to the fore. Then tlu-ro aro now Ideas in placecardy, stickers nnd oven some duo little crslcal cards to send to one's friends. But tho troublo reallv Is this. Tho de mand for appropilato emblems is gieator than ever before, eav the shopkeepers. They ordered what they thought was moro thnn, atinclont to Mice enro of tho addi tional orders, but 'twas sadly deficient. The ipason? Only tho fart that F.ither Penn Is tit last renllrlng that Washing ton's Bhthday Is just as much a holiday, nnd should bo enjo. cd as Mich, as any other similar day on tho calendar. That means a round of candy and to.xs for evety ono of tho "kids" nnd n couple of pounds of chocolates for tho wife. Xot only that But In tho days of dancing It means a trip to tho cafes nt night. Either that or some donco lloor. At least such would seem to bo the Indi itlon from the ad vance reservations at all tho big hotels, reseivatlons that aro higher In number than Inst car. DEALERS OVERWHELMED. 'Twns only by luck that 1'ntticr l'enn had an opportunity to get any of Wash ington's Birthday novelties. J. E. Sul llvan, of tho firm of John A. Brndlej, says so. "Tho majority of tlto hatchets nnd other kinds of toys nte made In Ger many," said Mi Sullivan "And, for tunately, we icilvl our usual shipment In December, ulct" with our Chilstmas goods. Wo thought this would bo .suf ficient to take caro of our trade, but wo have been Hooded with nn avalanche of orders, not onlv fiom oi. usual tiade, but from all the big hotels, who want some thing as souvcnlis. The trade this year has also oi'deicd with moio of nn ejo to tho quality than to tho price." This was borno out by Dcnnison's nnd othoi dealers in tho novelty trnde. Tho new ci cations have brought forth new purchasers, while tho regular customers have hoen bulng both old and now. The majority of tho Chestnut street shops wero not ablo to fill oiaors on Saturday, their stock already being exhausted. So the new slogan for Washington's Bhthduy that Is gilng tho rounds Is Enjoy yourself nnd inuko your reserva tions early.
