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.
Thaddeus Blch, leader of tho Phlla
delphla Orchestra, with violin solos,
and Jeannette T. Broomell, with recita
tions, will bo among the entertainers. 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.
