CHURCH SOCIAL.

The fancy work sale held by
the church ladies on July 9Th
and 9Th we believe, the first in
the history of EKalaka and the
managers of the bazaar are
pleased to be able to report a
success. The gross receipts
were about sixty five dollars and
as the Use of the building was
kindly donated by Uncle John
limbaugh, the expenses were
small. We take this opportunity
Of thanking the ones who so
generously sent in fancy articles,
ice cream and cake also those
who lent their presence and
patronage. The church debt is
daily diminishing and the time
is not far distant when our little
edifce will be free from the
shadow Of financial embarras-
ment. Again we say to all those
whe extended a welcome hand a
hearty thank you. Pres. L. A..

THAT'S GRATITUDE"

Last Thursday morning thirty
four people from here went to
Camp Crook to help them cele-
brate the 18th. In return for
our liberal response to their in
vitations they promised to make
us a visit with a good delegation
this week. Did they do it?
We took along: our entire ball
team. They promised to bring
their full team. Did they do it?
These questions are easily an
swered. Crook was represented
here by seven people, all Of
whom were ball players and good
socialable fellows.
These boys were a jolly bunch
and their visit here was appre-
ciated by US all but this di not
fulfill Crooks promise.
OF course We'll get excuses,
maybe Cummings paddle game
wasn't a success, probably the
Haley ball team administered too
big a dose, the rain might have
lnterfered, etc. etc. We were
told that the, lightning struck
near the ball grounds during the
Pennville- Ekalaka game but we
are inclined to believe that it
was only the explosion of the
Crook sucker sack''.

were fast becoming depleted
the strenuous competition be-
tween vaudeville managers. and all
sorts OF fancy salary inducements were
held out I'm order to induce prominent
members OF tho theatrical profession to
abandon their engagements in other
directions and join the great army OF
vaudeville performers. Many star
actors and actresses who already had
established Themselves In no uncertain
manner as artists Of exceptional draw
ing powers were thus inveigled into
the net OF vaudeville. and some OF the
prices actually paid for such talent
werc truly astonishing.
Among the artists first to command
the very highest salary consideration
were Charley Grapewin and his ac-
complished wife. who Is known on tho
stage as Anna Chance. This couple
may bo counted with the earliest plo-
neers In presenting a sketch. or. rather
q playlct which fastened itself 80 te-
naciously upon the cordial approval Of
the friends OF vaudeville that the names
OF Charley Grapewin and Anna Chance
soon became familiar household ones.
and, while tho clcverness OF both of
these artists was generally recognized,
1t was freely admitted that tho
sketch entitled "The Awakening OF
Mr. Pipp" had much to do In helping
them to receive possibly the largest
salaries ever given TO any so called
vaudeville team.

WHITE S0x TO TOUR WoRkD.
Will Repeat Trip of All American
Team In 1897

President Comlskey of the Chicago
Americans has made the statement
that he will take his team for a tour
of the world Immediately after tho
close of the season of 1911 It was In
1883 that A, C. Spalding took the old
Chicago white Sox, then in the Ma
tlonal league, and an All American
team on a worlds tour. That tour did
much to give the American national
game q foothold In foreign climes.
Games were played in Hawaii. Aus
tralia, India, under tho shadow OF the
pyramids In Egypt, in nearly every
country of continental Europe and in
England and Ireland Tn every place
the tourists played 1t was necessary
for them first to lay out diamonds bo-
fore they could proceed with tho game
The natives found baseball too strenu-
Gus. 1t interrupted the afternoon ST.
esta and played havoc with their nerv-
Gus systems. Our English cousins, OF
course. preferred their own cricket
and on one occasion old Pop Anson and
some OF the other players on the trip
went TO a cricket match and showed
how the game should really be played
1t was reported from England at the
time that those old sluggers were at
bat all of one afternoon and that the
English marvelcd at their great hitting
abilities Pop Arson said after tho
contest was over: Any fellow who
couldn't hit one Of those balls with a
fiat bat like they use ought to be fined
$50 and put out of the game by the
umpire"
Com,skey's tour Will doubtless in
clude such countries as were visited
twenty years ago. The tourists Will,
however, find much more receptive au
dlences. In the Philippines, for in
stance, they will meet American
crowds who will know the individual
records of all the players and be able
TO democratically call them by their
nicknames Japan. too, has made rapid
strides on the diamond. and maybe
Commy Will be able to pick up n slant
eyed star or two who Will be able to
put few jlu Jitsu twists to base run

Tho most important places of all
for an old head Is In the pitchers box
This Is the place where there is think
every half minute In every game. II
goes with every ball thrown. 1t IS
tough place for a beginner. Still.
the beginner may have such tremen-
dous speed and good control that he
will get through such a game with
victory. though every manager would
prefer to have ono OF his veterans In
the box at such times
I'm the old days of free hitting the
pitcher didn't need to think so much
1t was generally a contest of batting
The team that could bat in the mos!
runs was the victor. II was never
talked off as the pitcher who could
pitch the better ball. But today 50
much depends on the pitcher that he
is under a terrific mental strain from
the first to the ninth. except in con-
tests where his side gets a big lead
carly IN the game and permits him to
take chances on letting the other fell
lows hit tho ball"
