The Rhodum Sidus.

An amusing story told by Hood de,
ecribes how a country nurseryman
made a large sum out Of sales Of q
simple little flower which he sold IN
der the name Of the Rhodum sidus. This
charming name proved quite an at
traction to the ladies', and the flower
became the rage Of the season. 1t was
one of those freaks Of fashion for which
there Is no accounting. At length q
botauist who found that the plant was
not an uncommon weed requested tc
know where the nurseryman got the
name from. He elected the following
reply: 81 found this flower in the road
beside us, so christened it the Rhodun

Only one man killed in football
games last Saturday. There were
a few others with broken ribs, dis
located collar bones and other petty
injuries, but these don't count with
the highly sensitive men and women
who are so shocked over a bull fight
or a sparring match. The Gripping
of some poor devil of schoolboy
amounts to nothing alongside the
light prick of a banderilla or the
mushy crack of boxing glove.

AS 1t was. President Williams was
given loyal support by the fans who
knew what he was up against, and
he reciprocated with orders to Man
ager Reilly which brought good ball
playing. although at times the extra
expense was beyond what the condi-
lions warranted. President Williams,
too, suffered from the arbitrary and
autocratic ways of the little Lucas
and there were times when he feared
the disruption of the Pacific National
league and the total loss Of his in
vestment, particularly about the
time of the Salt Lake fiascos. Yet
the loyal stand taken by the Spokane
club on chance of losing every
thing kept the league together at q
critical time. But it's too much to
ask the continued sacrificing of Spo-
kane's baseball interests just to pro-
vide a job for w. H. Lucas.
