WESTERN CLUBS I WANT PARKINSON Belief I* He W ill \ol lie l(e?i taiiK'd by tin* I'liillie* Since They Gol Ford from I lie Boston (Hut). By JOHN ?. FOSTKIt (Cr.'?'Wt. 1*24. n 1 Jhc AgwBc-) New York. February 8. ? Western] clubs are anxious to obtain the ser vices of Parkinson of the Phillies,' who. they believe, will not be re-j tallied now that Philadelphia ha3 obtained Ford from Button. Los Angeles has been angling for him. and tuere are two clubs in the American Association that have ex pressed a desire for him. The new est trouble that confronts the hope-l tuts, however, is the alttitudc of thoj major league plnyers. Obtaining the privilege of the mo'Jifivd draft by the minor lea gues has no more effect upon the player than to make him determine not to accept a modified contract. The more the draft is modified, the more he accelerates his salary de mands. He secius to have taken the stand that If the big leagues don't! want him, the minors will have to pay dear to get him. The Pacific Coast has discovered that the American Association is outbidding it for players, which would seem to indicate that the lat-l ter expects to1 make more money] than the coast. The Coast League, has a longer season, and the players are not keen to go out there and play more <ball for relatively less money, despite the advantages of climate and food. ' Walker of the Athletics was want ed on the coast. but the club after hini was too light in its offers and the American Association grabbed him. Players of the Pittsburg Glub are not free agents, and are not so averse to going to Oakland, because for many of them it is going home. Parkinson has never been outside of Philadelphia as a club member. He was taken from the sand lots of New Jersey by the P-h lilies, and made a good impression at second I from the start. As he has gone on,' though. tlie_ Impression _h&a? grown! that he has reached his maximum, and that is why the Phillies want ed a player with more speed. Tier- [ nev batted all around Parkinson, ! but ho hasn't a sprinting muscle In his body, so the Phillies found them selves still with a hole at second. They took Ford to block the gap but they lost a hitter. If the third so-called major lea gue climbs over the horizon, there Is a man In New York City who will go into it with plenty of cash and wants to put a club in New York. It had been figured that any new league would fight shy of New York, but this figuring was done without certniu capitalists who think they | could give the present big league j clubs a run for their money. If the proper site can be pur chased to establish u club across the j East Illvr in the borough of Queens, | it is flguered tht the following can bo built up that in time will suppcrrt any baseball club managed upon a conservative basis.

With Pal Moran more or less blown up us a logcal contender tur Benny Leo nard's title, what Is going to happen in the lightweight situation? Juhnuy Dundee surprised everyone by his excellent showing against Polo but he did not get anyone excited over the idea that he could do much to Leonard. Teudler has victories to his cre dit over both Moran and Dundee and there does not seem to be a greut deal of point, speaking from a gate receipt standpoint, (or his meeting either of the two. 1(1 Mcvan hud beaten Dundee, that would have been accepted as Justi fying the theories that have been advanced as to his great reccnt im provement. But he didn't. He's a good willing boy, a real scrapper but he hasn't a champion's wallop. As for Dundee, a meeting be tween hliu and Leonard would be properly regarded as another of these things and such interest as would be aroused would center about the Scotch wop's ability to go the route. You can't get up much of a hooray about a proposition of that sort. Hope for a real lightweight' thrill next glimmer therefore relates i t c?

MARKS TO PUT UP i WHALE OF FIGHT If He Can Stand Up aa Well He (Ian Hit Pancho Vil la's Title May he in Danger Tonight. By FAlit 1'IJVV (Copyright, 1924. By The Advanrr) New York. Feb. 7 ? Watching Georgo Marks work out lately for, his battle tonight against Pancho Villa, the world's fly weight title , being at stake, the writer gets a, strong impression that he is going i to put up a whale of a fight against the little Filipino. Hi? sparring partners complain of very rough | treatment. and their complaints are justified. What remains- to ? be proven is whether Marks can stand up against ' Villa's lightning attack and punish ing wallops. Mark did a lot of fighting hereabouts as a beginner, but hlB best work has been done on ; the Pacific Coa.it. where he is highly regarded. Philadelphia boxing authorities, in searching for light on the ques tion of money for boxers, have dis- 1 covered that a cehtain fighter will appear in smaller cities for a sum considerably low what he is said to demand in Philadelphia. Well, why not? Probably he asks more to appear in the Madison Square Garden than he does in Philly. ' John Barryinore, on tour with Hamlet, will appear for less money In the small centers than he receives j in New York or Philadelphia. That i is to say prices of admission will be smaller. A fighter, or any one . else. Is worth what it will bring. It Philadelphia the unnamed fighter has sufficient repulatlon to draw forth fans in sufficient number to fill a ball part. In a smaller city his reputation! would be no less attractive than ' in Philadelphia, but there would not be so many fans to turn .out. As a consequence It is fair for a fighter to charge less for his ser vices. If nil topnotchers wefe willing to do this they would be kept much busier than they are and in the long run pick up a whole lot more money.

I Mack Has Array Of Right Hand Hitters Connie Expects To Make Left Hand Pitcher* Look Askance In 1924 Season IJ> JOHN II. FOSTER Copyright 1924. by Tilt Advanc* New York, February 8. ? If the new players of the Athletics prove to be valiant knights and true with the bat in 1924, left-hand pitchers will look askance at that team, as! Connie Mack will have a straight ar-j ray of right hand hitters with a single exception ? Hauser at first base. On the bases there will be Haus er, first, left-hander; Dykes, second, right-hander; Calloway, shortstop,; right hander; Hale; third, right hander. The outfielders Simp son, Strand, Welch and Miller are all right ? handers so are Perkins and Bruggy behind the bat. Almost all the pitchers are right handed. Should Bishop happen to sup-' plant Dykes at second, there would be two left handers iu the line up. But Dykes says Bishop will have to go some to get his place. Of all the Athletic batters none has an fancy for hitting into the right field. The result will be a deep left opposition from every nine in the league when the Athle tics come to town . The "A's" will bombard all the left field fences in the circuit if they turn out as well as Mack hopes. Cleveland will start with one of the most formidable arrays of bat-j ters that ever began a big league] season, but they will find these; right handed Athletics running them a tight race if the bushers who hav?* been promoted to the city cJ brotherly love come through anything like they did in the min ors. The Athletics have a possi-l bility of a .340 batting outfield. It will bo found that Simmons is an improving batsman. He has never gone back since he started, as he started only a little while ago. The greatest amount of interest will center in Strand. He is a player who has been mada by the environment of the Pacific coast, which betters ball players who find their way crut there. Strand left the majors years back with no repu tation for being a frequent hitter or any other kind of hitter. He ended as leader of the Coast League. Granting that he had a longer* season in which to make his record his average for a standard season is as good as that of the sluggers who have their Roman noses portrayed dally In the big town shows. If he can make his accomplishment last him in 1924; the Athletics will have a ^matter ing of the punch which they lacked, last season. And be it known that Connie Mack, long before the fourth of July last year, knew his team was without that one' big whack which makes a championship nine. He started the road to find It and trav elled all over the U. S. A., with his nose to the scent.

Cooper Cleaning Works 1'HOXK 280 TWO SIDES OF TURNOVER The nlert business man dealing with present day conditions knows that the biff word today is "Turn over." Whether he be a merchant, manufacturer, jobber, or banker, he sees that one thing with a clear vision unbiased by the limits of his own busi ness. It is in the air, and on the tip of every tongue. And yet many of them ? entirely too many ? nrc thinking on only one side of Turnover. They think of it as meaning rapid selling ? putting money in and getting it out quickly and at a profit. They realize that they must put greatly increased effort", back of all their plans for selling and distribution. The other half of Turnover is the consumer. All selling plans and efforts fail if the consumer doesn't want to buy. His desire for the product must be created. He must meet the seller hnlf way. Ho must l>e in a mood to buy before the salesman meets him across the counter. That js the function of Advertising ? to create consumer demarid and consumer preference. With this demand as a fact all selling plans have a chance to succeed. Without it they fail. The only chancq for salesmanship to succeed without an existing de mand is for salesmanship to assume the task that belongs to advertising ? the task of creating de mand. If the present efforts that are being put into sell ing were amply supported by a corresponding effort to create consumer demand through Advertising, the business conditions of this country would be rapidly changed into an era of groat prosperity ? in spite of Old World conditions and everything else. The proof of this is in the fact that right now, under those very conditions, the manufacturers who arc putting proper emphasis on creating a de mand for their product, as well as selling it, are do ing a big business and are actually getting the high turnover that others are trying so strenuously to get through intensive selling. ?t5 hard Worlo ?to figure out> , .
