Peaneylvanis, a5 u ual, will be a participant in the com- mencement day game on June 6. The schedule will include some twenty-five games, and Fordham and New York University will be met. Tven at this early date prospects for a fair team at Columbia are bright Mernstein, first baseman; Bunoguro, shortstop; Houck, third base: Temple; catcher; Captain Lane, catcher, and Spottke, a jack of,all trades and mas- ter of outflelding, are ‘the veterans around whom Andy Coakley will en- deavor to construct a:winming team.

St. Louls -National e club from Mrs. Helen Hathaway Britton if this lady magnate were inclined to sell at rea-.| sonable terms. Mrs. Britton, however, so far refused to listen to reason. It is eaid the seven male club presi- dents of the National league have urged her to dispose of the Cardinals or institute a more liberal policy tow- ard rebuilding for mutual benefit. Mr. Wathen, it is understood, has also _sounded out Barney Dreyfuss on the Pittsburgh franchise. He prefers St. Louis to Smokeville as a base of major league operations, however, be- cause it s nearer his home and busi- ness. - Wathen is a wealthy distiller of Louisville, an old fashioned masgnate, who loves the game for sports’ sake, and who gets mere pleasure out of the success of the club than from the financial returns. Wathen’s Loulsyille pennant winner is said to have been an expensive lux- ury, but still he is one of the most en- thusiastic promoters to be met with anywhere. He believes Bill Clymer, who led Louisville to victory, the last word in generalship. For Clymer's sake as much as for the eport of the thing, O. H. Wathen is now gunning for a major league franchise. He Is the type of man not easily turned aside once he puts his mind on an object. The National league could go to the length of the land and-find no brighter prospect for either St. Louis or Pitts- burgh. FRAZEE TO STAND BY BOSTON RED SOX Will Not Make Any Changes in the Champs Until New Manager is Se- ocured. From all ozee of the indications, President Red Sox is golng to stand pat on the world’s champlon outfit. He recognizes that this com- Ing season will furnish even keener competition than the Red Sox had to €0 up against this past vear. as New York, Detroit and even Philadelphia have he still figures that the Sox are Such 2 clever and resourceful team, and that the majority of the men are still 80 young, that they can be depended upon to hold their own, and even do VYetter in the 1917 campaign. Strong For Carrigan. He stated vesterday that he would 2o to any reasomable length to get Carrigan back, for he knows that un- der such a leader the team would have plenty of reason for repeating, but he recognizes the fact, too that ihere are & number of clever, brainy plavers in both infield and outfield, and that they can be depended upon to do the right thing at the right time always. He looks for great things next year from Chick Shorten, whose showing in that ono game of the world’s series at Brooklyn considerably impressed him. He is banking a 1ot on Janvrin #ad the reserve strength of the team and while Foster may _decide to retire, as he promises, and Wood's arm is still a matter of considerable doubtful coneci- ture he figures on Sam Jones especially coming through to take the place of either of these great slabsters. In his high estimation of Jones Fra- zee 1s more or less influenced by the Judgment of Roger Bresnahan, who be- lieves that Jones is one of the greatest rookies that ever broke into the big leagues. It developes that Brasnahan ching Jones like a hawk, and Bad the Boston club asked walvers on him_ last seasoin the astute Roger would have grabbed the Woodsfield grocer without delay. Bresnahan has it fiuhed that only for the fact that Hoston having such capable workmen as Shore, Ruth, Leonard '‘and Foster working ip turn Jones would have made a sensation in the . American league last season. President Frazee will not attempt to reduce the squad or make any change in the roster of his team until his new manazer has been signed up. He fig- ures that this is the manager’s work anyway.

DVVE VL NTVE NWDVOVE WOVEE VY Norwich TRIBUTE TO INITIATIVE THE measure of a man’s success is the influence which he exerts upon other men. fIt is not merely in what he says, or thinks, or even in what he does. eIt is determined by the extent to which he moulds and models other men to his way of speaking and thinking and doing. {When the public mind or con- science begins to patiern ‘itself after the mind and conscience of an individual— that individual has begun to taste of true greatness. {And in a different, and per- haps in a lesser sense, that which is true of the individual, is true of the business institution. {The success of a business institution is in proportion to the influ- ence which it exerts upon the industry of which it is a part. {When a great in- dustry begins to shape its policies,-its principles-and its product after the pattern set by a single business institution—that one institution has become vastly more than a mere money-making machine. (It has developed into a creative and a compelling force. {The great man does not merely bring other men to his way of thinking. {He induces them to translate those thoughts into deeds and into conduct. -fHe causes them. to abate and set aside their own judgment, and to substitute his clearer, better judgment. {He persuades them to throw away some- thing of their own and to substitute something - of his which is better. {The greatest of all victories is that bloodless triumph -which comes of self conquest— the subjugation of self to that which is right and good. {And its finest fruit is the peaceful conquest of other hearts and other -minds. {Again, in a different, and maybe in a lesser'sense, this is true of business institutions. {[They have be- gun to taste of true success only when they have induced a great industry to abate, to abandon, to throw away, to substitute, to conform. f{Consider what it means to conquer in turn, by the silent force of example, the intellect of the draftsman, the designer, the engineer, the executive, the directing boards of other great institutions. {Consider-the dead weight of opposition which must be over- come in an organization before it can persuade itself to follow the example of another. {Confronted with such a problem in his affairs, the mind of the manu- facturer must run the gamut of business emotions: fHe must subjugate his pride; he must fight off his fear; he must master his uncertainty; he must conquer his doubt—and stake his entire destiny on-the decision. {His engineers have been committed, perhaps, to other principles, and may be reluctant to adopt a new principle. {His selling erganization has been committed to the old product but must recast its policy to conform. to the new. fCapital, seeing hundreds-of- thousands in money needed for new machinery and other hundreds-of-thousands discarded in old machinery, wonders why the old, profitable, less progressive prod- uct is not good enough. {Wherever he goes in his own institution, there is doubt and couragement—but over against it the steadily shining beacon-light of that other great success. flts radiance is all around him. {The pressure of public opinion pushes him persistently toward its emulation. {So he resolutely pockets his pride, sets aside his own judgment, abandons the old policies and be- gins to build another product, patterned after ideals which are not his own. {When that is accomplished, there is paid the highest tribute which intellect can pay to intellect. {After that, the process goes on and on. {Millions in money and tons of machinery are dedicated to the pursuit of the nmew inspiration. A hundred brains, as it were, accept the dictum of one brain. {A score of business institutions tacitly admit the wisdom of one business institution. {A dozen prod- ucts endeavor to conform to the one product. .{Then indeed, is the tribute com- plete. A unit has indelibly stamped itself upon the whole. {The industry crowns the individual institution. {And the world adds the seal of unstinted en- dorsement. it i e ke Ll I A THE A.C. SWAN CO.
