the Panthers In 1915. Is now In line
for a berth with the St. Louis Browns

a regular. Jones is giving the
little fellow the “once over1' and tak-
ing more than Hie usual pains with him
in his development.
At the close of the 1915 Texas league
season Kerr was sold to the Memphis
team of the Southern Association au^
last year made giiod from the jump.
According to the Memphis manager,
who was in Fort Worth the latter imrt
of the 191(1 season ami bought Fentress,
Kerr was ills most de|tcmhible pitcher
and had tlie fans on the circuit wild. I
J Ones also is giving Sot horn and
Rogers, two other youngsters, the care-
ful "lamp'’ and from these three he ex-
ited s to select another star iiioumls-
inau to make tile Big-top fellows sit up
amt lake notice. The Browns will jour-
ney to Houston Friday to tangle up
things with the Buffs. Jones is put-
ting iris men through their paces at a
furious rate to get them in shape for a
hard season’s work.

Why are you loser when Electricial
prices are too low? .
Forgetting or disregarding OVERHEAD EXPENSE is one of
the reasons for price Cutting by; inexperienced contractors. A part
of this expense must be charged to each job a contractor undertakes.
If this hi not dime one of two things uinst happen, either the con-
tractor must skimp the job either on material or labor, or lose money
and eventually fall- Needless to say tlie first expedient will lie at-
tempted. to your hiss, See us about your work.
