Baseball
Keller REAL IRIsHMAN.

hEELEk REAL lklSHMAN.
II you should look at the New York
American league clubs batting order
next spring and see it led of by a
man nomed O'Kelleher would you be
surprised?
Furthermore. would you be surpris-
Cd II you saw O'Kelleher take the
place OF Willie Keller?
Now. you may as we'll be prepared
for surprise, for that very thing is
liable to happen.
Baseball is about over, and the time
limit is very close on getting In stor-
les. This is new one, hoWsver, and
Its got to be told right now.
Keller is not the real name OF the
wonderful little batter and right field
err Of the New York Highlanders. His
name is O'kelleher. and for these
many years he has been fooling the
Irish. who did not know him, as to
whether he was real son OF Erin or
a pretzel eater from the Rhine. You
know Keller could be Dutch. Still,
anybody who sits down and talks five
minutes to Keller and does not say
be is real Mick" is crazy. Keller
Is proud of his Irish blood. a2d says
ne Ia descended from one of Erin's
old kings.
Keeler's parents. or, rather, O'Kel-
jeher's parents. came to this country
from GlanswOrth. ireland. when the
father was thirtyfour years old and
not great while before Willie was
born.
They settled in Brooklyn. and there
the wizard of the Diamond" first saw
the light Of day.
When Willie began selling score
cards and doing other boy jobs for
livelihood it was too much trouble for
his employers to say "O'Kelleher," so
Willie very obligingly assumed the
name of "Keeler." That was easy for
everybody to say and looked we'll on
paper.
Think of the thousands of tongue
twists that Willie has saved the world
BY abolishing O'Kelleher and making
1t easy by the rather pleasant sound
Of "Keeler."

The sententious remark of the griz-
zled bookmaker was the crystalizei
residue Of a bitter experience. For
present use his name was Robinson
In the heyday of his success Robinson
met young woman who knew little
and cared less. He married her and
they lived happily forever after. for
she was as game in adversely as she
was extravagant in prosperity.
Tide Turned.
When the woman set In in the other
direction Robinson never said word
to the sweet little doll thing that
shared his name and his luck. He had
credit with his fellows and always
kept the best side out. particularly
at home. Carton liked him, and there
was nothing Carton had that he coul,,
not get. and Carton had a bunch.
One day after the third race Robin
con approached Carton and said:
Say. Bob, let ME take $500; l have
slightly overplayed myself"
The young man who was expected
to say, Eyes. gladly" and hand 1t out,

The $500 for which Robinson
asked would have got him even on a
bad week
Here is why he didn't get 1t.
Mrs. Robinson was shopping that
morning. She made bad guess about
the temperature when she left the
hotel. 1t was colder than she hal
figured. Instead of returning to the
hotel, which was only two blocks
away, she tripped into the shop of Il
fashionable furrier.

a chair. II didn't know it was this
cold. Show me something to go about

The clerk showed her an erm!ne

herself in the glass.

WHEN THE ICE GOES
OUT OF THE YUKON.
The "Soardoughs- Make a Great
Event Of It

The "SOurdOughss Make . Great
Event Of It
Let US remember that once more
the summer has returned to US from
the south and that all nature is wear
ing her most gracious smile which she
bestows upon all her children of the
Yukon country. Under the warm en-
brace, the ice in the great Yukon loos-
ened her grip and crumbled away bit
by bit, falling into long slender icicles
and on May II, the great mass began
to move down the river in north
westerly direction toward the Behring
Sea. $500 miles away" writes a spec
in1 correspondent from Dawson to the
Hartford Courant.
After about ten or twelve days of
running the ice in the river, 1t is safe
to say that navigation is we'll open on
the Yukon and the boot of the various
steamers as they begin to arrive from
their winter quarters makes sound
that is most delightful to hear by all
"Sourdoughs" who have wintered in
the great North Land.
This is novel feature and of great
interest to the Inhabitants Of Dawson.
and the population turn out by the
hundreds and flock down to wharves
and banks of the Yukon to witness the
great event of the year. This means
open navigation and travel to the out
side" world as we'll as travel to the
north. for each season many tourists
who are slowly learning OF the delights
to be enjoyed in the north are eager
to turn their faces toward the NORTH
star and feast upon scenery unrfvalled
Of its kind In the world and to feel the
charm of twenty-four hours of day.

To be sure Dawson Ia always open
to travel to the outside world, by win.

fine line Of stages (sleighs) that make
regular trips from Dawson to White

railway gives you ride Of 112 miles to

scenery and lands you at the seaport

OF the various steamers plying the
waters of the Alaskan coast for your
southern destination: Victoria, Van

Look this up on your maps and you
cannot equal 1t anywhere in the known
world. We have the finest air, fish,
water, mountains. glaciers, mines,
flowers. game. men. women and chill
dren you have ever met in all your
rambles through alkali deserts or trop

idea within you need something to in

the surface. take trip to the North
and see one Of lurid sunsets at mid
night down the Yukon river amid the
eternal hills of green in summer and
you will paint with an inspiration that
will produce the gates of Eternal City
and show the angels descending to our
earth of dust"

TOO MUCH FOR ONE
Teaching a Hardship on Foot
ball Coach-Should Have
an Assistant.

The lessons OF the new footballs are
being learned by the old fogies of the
game, and although they are proving
q bitter pill for the coaches and play
ers and fans who have insisted that
reformed football was thing impos-
sible OF accomplishment, it is seen
that they are being taken to heart.
Your light, fast team, that under the
former cumbrous rules was unable to
do much with the body and bone
breaking mass plays of its heavier op-
ponents, is now to the fore, and wher-
ever there is intelligence in the coach
ing department and corresponding
adaptability in the linemen and back
field, there you viii see the early birds
getting under cover, and grabbing sill
ces OF pigskin glory.
One great handicap that the local
coachers have had to labor under is
that there has been too much for one
man to do in handling the whole team
himself. The coach should have as
sistance: the line must be fooled by
one man, and the backs by another, in
order that in the brief training season
the most be gotten out of the candi-
dates. 1t must be remembered that
athletics is only subordinate part
Of the school life of nowadays, and
that two or three hours q day are all
that the young man can give to per
fecting himself in play.
Ii the spirit OF the sport is fine
enough to be worth inculating at a
monetary cost-it is worth while to
build up in a school which make any
pretense of playing the game as good
An organization as possible. This
costs money, but its real worth has
been shown in the increased atten-
dance at the schools where athletics
was encouraged. and the outlay is Ger
tainly justified by the results.

Football practice has gone far
enough already TO indicate that the
various teams of the country will be
more evenly matched this year than
they ever were before. All the teams
are up against a new proposition in
the same way and the game will be
more or less crude and experimental
all season. After this season is done
the coaches will know how to 20 to

that no one team will have much of
an opportunity for Dragging of great

New York. Oct. 23.-The New York
Americans would like to have Jimmy
Collins. suspended manager of the
Boston Americans. Owner Frank Far
rell, of the Yanks, made an offer for
three OF his players, one OF whom is
Laporte. for Collins, when Jimmy first
absented himself from the team. l,
vas renewed when the New York team
was in Boston last week. 1t is very
probable that the deal would have
gone through but for the refusal of
Collins to submit to a trade unless
certain conditions are complied with.
Collins will be willing to enter into
negotiations to play with some other
club than the Boston Americans next
season. provided that the pay taken
out Of his salary, amounting to some
$4,000, Is restored to him. and he can
adjust the salary matter satisfactorily
with the club that desires his services.
MIR. Farrell feels very confident that
he can arrange the salary matter to
Collins satisfaction, and is satisfied
that Collins will be able to report in

DECLARES UNIONS ARE

Also Applies Same Epithet to Organ

Men to Take an Active Part in
Politics
BY Associated Presy.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Feb. 11.-From the
pulpit of st. Raphaels cathedral, Arch
bisshop Keane, metropolitan of the Du-
buque archdiocese, today hit the prin-
ciple of unionism by declaring that it
is a school for thievery. He said:
"There are unions organized to bring
competent men down to the level of
workmen who are not as well skilled.
The workmen who should receive more
do not because they are bound to hold
up incompetent men. They force en-
ployers to pay poor laborers more than
they earn. Their aim is TO get shorter
hours and do as little work for the
employer as possible. They do not earn
salaries. This practice in unionism is
a school for thievery."
The speaker then took organized
capital to task and said that the efforts
of the big fnanciers to deprive man of
his natural rights is wrong.
"Such organized capital is a school
of thievery," he said in conclusion.
THE employer who does not pay his
employee for the amount of his hire
is a thief. The employe who does not
give to his employer the labor he is
paid for is also thief" He made an
appeal to men to take an active in
terest in politics, adding:
"As your duty to your family is
sacred, so it is to your city, country

CONVERSION IN JAIL
DESCRIBED BY PREACHER
TRIALS OF PAUL ARE RELATED
FROM PULPIT
Rev. Mr.. Phelps Addresses Congrega-
ton of Central Baptist Church on
the Beauties of Notable Example
Set by Famous Disciple

Rev. Arthur S. Phelps, minister at
the Central Baptist church, spoke last
night on the topic "a Conversion in
Jail" derived from Acts xvi. He said:
LAS Paul and his friends were on
their way to the daily prayer meeting
in Philippi, a half-witted girl met them
and cried out: These are servants of
God, preaching the way of salvation
Peter q half-wit proclaiming the gos-
pei than a brilliant brain prostltuted
to sin. When she had kept this up
for several days, following the apostles
on the street, Paul feeling sorry for
her, cured her of her madness.
Perhaps nothing further would have
come of the matter had not this girl
been the means of livelihood to few
vagabounds, who charged admission
TO her freak sayings. When religion
hits a mans business, especially II 1t
is an iniqditious one there VIII be
trouble. So these takers had the disci-
pies arrested, claiming that they were
enemies of society, which is ain old plea
against Christianity, and the upshot
OF the matter was that they were
clapped into jail in the inner prison,
where there was neither light nor much
air and their feet thrust through the
planks (which were called stocks" a
