Phils Dropped One to Giants and
A's to Washington Last Year
Last year both tho Phils and the
Athletics lost tho opening games, the
former flopping to New York while
the Macks dropped one to Washington.
Tho statistics show that for the Phils,
Callahan made the first hit, scored the
first run and received the first wnlk of
the season. Hnncroft connected with
the first sacrifice, Adams was tho first
man to strike out. Huird made the first
error, Ludcrus the liist putout nnd

croft Is the onlj mini who will bo in
the lineup today.
For tho Athletics, (Jeorge Hums leg.
istcred the first hit and nlso struck out
first. Kopp drew the first walk and
nlso had tho first assist. Perkins made
the first error nnd Witt tho first putout.
Our A's were blanked in Mint game,
They also failed to steal any bases or but who take keen enjoyment in follow
mako a sacrifice hit ing the fortunes of certain players and
wnicn accounts lor tne missing nrst run.
Save Family
Shoe Bills
The expense of making the
family's shoes last as long as pos
sible is very considerable. You will
need to have shoes re-soled only
half as often if you get your repair
man to use Korry Soles. They
wear twice as long as other soles.
Think what this means with those
youngsters who scuffle through
their shoes so quickly.
And Korry Soles (genuine leather;
arc permanently waterproof, flex
ible, and won't slip on wet sur
faces. It will pay to ask for them
iii, buying new shoes. They arc
as good for dress shoes as they are
lor work shoes. I

GENUINE LEATHER SOLES
Korry Soles are tanned by the
J. W. & A. P. Howard Company,
of Corry, Pennsylvania. They arc
sold by reliable shoe repair men.
If yours does not have them, notify
our local branch and we will see
that you are supplied.

IN 1018 the Cubs ,won n pennant. For
1010 they added Alexander nnd then
finished third. Wc mention this erratic

N 1018 the Ited Sox won n world
championship. In the unrlng of 1010
they looked better than ever. They
finally managed to finish sixth. It'tt
a great life if jott cut out guessing.
Ilaco Aspects
TI' THINGS break gently for Clcvc--L
land that club hn a chance for forg
ing well nhead In the American League.
Hut If fate pcrMatH in assailing the, line
up, New York and Detroit both have n
chance.
The National League race should bo
the closer of the two. Cincinnati and
New York predominate in the early
dope, but Brooklyn, Chicago and Pitts
burgh arc no great distance nwny',
where n few midden turns in the luck
may keep the entire quintet in a sum
mer knot.
There is no club in the National
League that seems to be ns far advanced
beyond competition ns Cleveland docs
in the American.
Cleveland can still win with n shade
the worst of the luck against any one
llvnl.
There is no National League club In
this fit. Any one of three or four clubs
can taltc n bhade. in the breale nnd win
Tlio Inner Meaning
TH1 opening of two major league sea
sons adds more than , mere triflo to
the inner glow of the populace at large
It means added recreation, in a
spectntorial wny, for Hevcral million in
habitants who help push the turnstiles
around. It adds something more to
others who rarely go to see a ball game
certain clubs. This list in larger than
any one rnjjht think.
The flaming career of th6 spectacular
Ruth will be followed by thousands who
will never see him In action. Hut what
he docs or doesn't do will add a new
interest to the various episodes of snrln
nnd summer.
The worth of baseball In the way of
added pleasure to a nation makes It
all the more necessary to see that the
game Is cleanly run nnd cleanly plnv0,l
with both magnates nnd players at their
best.
Leading Figures ' '
STAMPING the Reason the leading
figtircH, through their efforts In past
campaigns, Incltlde the following:
First. Babe Huth champion hon-o
run hitter.
Second. Ty Cobb champion batsman
of both leagues.
Third. Tris Speaker champion out
fielder and manager.
Fourth. AValtcr Johnson bestpitchvr
in the American Ieaguc.
Fifth, (trover Alexander best
pitcher in the National League.
Sixth. Eddie Housh champion bam."
man of the National League.
Seventh. George Slslcr and Hogm
Hornsby, of St. Louis runncrs-up w!n
may supplant Cobb or Iloimh.
Eighth. Eddie Collins still barobali'i
best second baseman.
THESE start tho season as tho mam
gate attractions, with Htith lenillni
tho pack. The big slugger will remain
tho leader as long as hr can propel tha
ball out of tho pack. If his homo rua
propensities die out he will bo onlr
fair card.
IN THE peppery interim re-enters mir
old "side kick."' sometimes brttn
known as "The Standing of the Clubs"
after all, this is where tho ultimate
