Thinking of Quality
These days, most men when they think of a smoke, think of
King Oscar 5c Cigars
It's the way quality always affects the mind. Its influence
is simply irresistible. Think of soap, silver, flour and what
not and the quality^kinds are the ones you instinctively
think of,
It's a good thing, too.

} field were the Federals yesterday.
They made a successful raid on the
Cleveland club, relieving the team
which finished in third place in the

Falkenberg, Blanding and Kahler.
Falkenberg was one of the main

Clyde Milan, the star outfielder of
the Washington club, denied that he
signed a contract with the Feds, but
declared he had offers. Griffith says
he is loyal.

"Charley" Carpenter
May Lead New League;
Six-club Circuit
Altoona, Pa., Jan. 28. Not only
will this city be again represented on
organized baseball this season, but
there are reports that in efforts to
form a new league, Charles F. Car
penter, former Tri-State president,
will be selected to lead the new or
ganization. Back of the movement
to have baseball in Altoona is the re
cently organized Chamber of Com
merce. F. G. Paige, of Pen-Van,
N. Y., is back of the new project. In
a letter to the Johnstown Tribune he
comments upon the advisability of
the. new league.
He suggests that a six-club league
to include Altoona, Johnstown, Mc-
Keesport, Butler, Connelsville and
Uniontown, would be about the proper
thing. He would also drop the i. and
P. League proposition and name the
new circuit the Pennsylvania State
.League. He is influenced to give up
the Ohio towns because Steubcnville
and East Liverpool have lost their ball
parks and are not enthusiastic about
baseball just now. Paige has ap
proached a Johnstown man about be
coming president of the new league.
KNH.VUT IN THE FIELD
The Enhaut baseball team is in the
field. The officers are:
Walter Miller, manager; Harry
Houck, captain; Carl Sehaffer, secre
tavv, and Samuel Norrls, treasurer.
