ALL-NATI0NALS AND
ANGELS PLAY TODAY


Frank Bancroft's band of all stars
of the National league will face the
Angels this week for a five-game series
opening this afternoon at the stamp
ing grounds of the Coast leaguers.
The All-Nationals are due to arrive in
Los Angeles this morning, just in time
to eat lunch and trot out to the park
10 warm up for the first game with
the Berryites. The showing made by
the Angels last week against the
crack Athletics has inspired Dillon
and his men with hope of winning at
least three of the games of the series.
Though there are several stars in the
game it is a time-worn adage OF base
ball that no picked team, not even one
composed of the best players, can
match a team composed of men who
have been playing together for a sea-
son as an organization. The Athletics
are much the stronger of the two
eastern transforming aggregations,
and If the Angels keep up their fight
ing pace they have every reason to
hope for a victory in the series. There
are several hard hitters in the ALI
Nationals line, however, and the
games promise to be full of excite
ment

American People Contribute Gener-

Smiling Joe" to Face World.

NEW YORK. May Smiling
Joe Barron, at u. has already done a
mans work In the world-and more.
He has collected a quarter OF mil
lion dollars for a home for sick and
crippled children-big enough TO
house 1000 at time.
Smiling Joe" they call him. The
name tells the story.
There were some young doctors In
New York about four years ago who
believed that fresh air and outdoors
was a great part In the cure OF any
disease. They bought small cot
tage on the ocean, named II Sea
Breeze, and looked around for pa
tent
Down in the hot. stuffy slums they
found s-year-oid Joe Barron. His back
was twisted, his legs crooked, and he
had tuberculosis Of the bone. His was
the worst case they could find.
But Joe. the brave, helpless little
Joe. smiled up into the faces OF the
doctors
And that smile went clear through
the barriers of professional reserve
into the hearts OF those doctors.
Thev took Joe out TO Sea Breeze
and strapped him TO bamboo board,
like papoose. II hurt terribly, but
Joe smiled.
They kept him out in the air when
II was cold. also when IL was hot. But
Joe just smiled.
They worked over his little twisted
frame, they tortured him as doctors
must torture people sometimes To
make them we'll. But they couldn't
drive the smile away.
Just how much Joe suffered nobody
but he ever knew. But he smiled al
ways.
One day. in 1905. President Roose
welt visited Sea Breeze. There were
tears IN his eyes as he looked at the
little crooked twisted boy. Joe didn'l
know who the big man with glasses
was. but he smiled his happy bah,
smile. Roosevelt. quick. impulsive
caught the arm OF Jacob Riis, who
was with him.
Cant we do something for thi.
boy" he asked.
Riis was a newspaper man. II ar
going to take his picture and tell his
story to the people OF the United
States, he said. 1T will help them. as
tits helped us"
This was the beginning OF fame fol
Smiling Joe" which was 10 go from

Now at ~. with the knowledge thai
