FRIEND STICKS CLOSE
TO RUDE WADDELL

Chicago, Sept 4.-The Philadelphia Athletics
are carrying an extra man. He does not play
hall, he is not employed as trainer, he does not
watch the gate, he is earthly assistance to
the secretary. He is Rubes keeper.
The mans name is Newhouse. He is-or
was-a friend of George Edward Waddells, and
was recommended by George Edward to Connie
Mack a rubber, If the team CHANGED to be
in need Of any such.
Connie has for any kind of rubber,
except somebody to rubber at Rube and see that
he did not get into mischief. 50 Mr.. New
house was engaged in that capacity.
Mr.. Newhouses job is to stick close to the
eccentric one, and watch over him as a mother
would over an erring child. Connie gives 10
personal expenses of Rube, and Newhouse doIes
out the pennies to George Edward with care
full hand.
Sometimes RUDE yearns for his own society
exclusively, but Newhouse balks his yearning.
He is always on hand, like Lizzies engage
ment ring. He hangs around something fierce
and could give Jake Mintz' Sherlock some fine
points on shadowing.
At first the arrangement pleased George Ed
ward immensely. He liked Mr.. Newhouse, and
was glad to have somebody to chum with But
of late he has grown peevish. He wants nickel

and mind his own business all by himself &C.
casionally.
While the Athletics were up in Detroit on
this present western trip, Rube went on a fish
ing trip. He didn't ask Newhouse to go along,
but Newhouse went. Rube got boat all by
himself, saying he didn't want no fool New
house along, soaring the fish.
Behold, the faithful Newhouse in a patrol
boat. tagging along, and anchorin gat a con-
ven1ent distance from the lone fisherman. The
aggravated George Edward upped anchor on
several occasions. and rowed angri1y away but
the patrol boat followed.
The scheme has worked we'll so far Rube
has no money. no solitude and a surfeit Of New
house. He is keeping straight and pitching
great ball.

one night, knowing there would be an

Sure enough she nailed me, and I calm
ly told her Of a murder which occurred

day the newspapers reported the case

An industry that is bringing in a
good income to many farmers in south

is none other than shipping the old
razorback hog to northern states, where
they are fattened for market,' said B..
A. Scott Of Clinton, Mo.
Years ago the razorback hog was
not considered worthy Of anything more
than killing for making meat used by
the poor farmer families in the back
woods. Many people considered that
variety Of the pig family native Of
the south, but it is not: In the old
pioneer days the farmers let their hogs
run wild, and they deteriorated into the
breed that has since been noted. as the
razorback. They developed lean sides.
long noses, and long legs thru the neces-
slty of having to shift among the pines
for their food. ~ -
"Today the shipping of razorbacks
mas come to be quite an industry ard
hundreds of them are brought to Illi-
nois and Iowa for fattening. They grow
to good size in the woods of the south.
and, having voracious appetitiese and a
large frame, they soon put on flesh after
being penned up where they do not run
their flesh off.
THE farmers Of the south are nowV
taking in hundreds of thousands of dol

brothers find that fattening razorbacks

1905 New York state Rhodes scholarship to

prising statement that he will try for the Oxford
crew next year when he returns to England.
There seems to be only another demonstration
Of the remarkable versatility of the man who
has already made greater name for himself

American intercollegiate two-mile record of $40,
made in Philadelphia at the Intercollegiate in
1903, the same year in which he took individual
honors In the intercollegiate cross-country run
at Morris Park, New York city.
Since he has been in England Schutt has kept
up his reputation and has proved himself the
equal of many of the best English runners
Next year he will go after the Oxford record
Of 4:10A for the mile. His venture in aquatic
sports in England will be watched with an in.
