Rise Of Young Machinist to President
Leading Financial institution
Assistant Secretary Of Treas.

New Yor4.--The recent election OF
Frank A. Vanderlip to the presidency
of the National City Bank Of New
York, recalls one of the most pictur-
eSque stories of ~Dersevering uphill
work eve related Of a poor American
boy. Thirty years ago, Vanderlip was
plodding away in a machine shop out
west, at Is cents a day. His father
had just died in indiana, leaving a
widow end her family with nothing
but a farm and a few hundred dollars.
The farm could not be worked to adj
vantage, so the Young mai took the
place in the machine shop as the only
means of supporting the family. He
went at it like a Trojan-he still works
that way-and, after a ten-hour day,
came home to plod a portion of the
night over a shorthand textbook.
That made him a competent stenog.
rapher and soon gave him a position
with a Chicago investment house at
so a week. In the days when his
companions Of after life were enjoying
the football matches of Harvard and
Yale young Vanderlip was digging
away at dry old railroad reports. In
that way he acquired statistical know
ledge and learned how to go to the
bottom of things.
After saving a little money he took
a years course at the University Of
Illinois and later when serving as a
newspaper reporter in Chicago, he
supplemented this course by attend
ing lectures at the University of Chi.

OVERRIDING It.

A young Englishman, after he had
been in Devils valley for a couple Of
months, began to grow thin. Wyoming
cooking did not appeal to him. Be-
sides his squeamish appetite there
was another thing that the natives
held against him-his %outIandish Gus
tom of taking a bath every morning.
One day his landlady was discussing
him with a friend.

tor, "he's jest a-wastin' away a-griev-
in for some gal back east thar"

the best financial writer's in the coun

Chicago Economist in 1894, and served
as an associate editor of that journal
until March 1, 1897, when Lyman ]
Gage, who was then president of the
First National bank of Chicago, was
appointed secretary Of the treasury
MI. Gage asked MI. Vanderlip to go to
Washington as his private secretary

treasury had to take on 900 extra
employees for the task, which was han.
died with great dispatch. Mr.. Gage,
speaking later of Mr.. Vanderlip's work
il the treasury department, said:
"He has great initiative, possesses
the power of action beyond anything

quietly and with great speed. He han.

know what to do every time. No one
knows how he does things, for Van.

BASKETBALL RULES
HAVE BEEN CHANGED

New York, Sept. 6.-The rules gov
erning the game of basketball have
been revised by the national committee
of six The changes adopted are nu-
merous. Under the new rules, the um :
pire's duties undergo a slight change.
He Is no longer supposed to watch the
man with the bail and his opponent,
bu- the other eight men in the game.
The holding and rough play which have
developed as a result Of the fact that
both the umpires have in the past
watched the struggle over the ball win,
II is expected, be eliminated by the new
ruling This also will make the referee
work harder than ever to catch fouls.
In the future the scorekeepers will be
obliged to compare the score after each
goal and in case they do not tally cali
the referee Immediately The referee
must otherwise accept the larger score.
The committee made a change In the
rules for dribbling which is of great
Importance Now, IL the player who is
dribbling the ball down the field stops
and holds the ball at rest in one or both
hands, he will be obliged to throw 1t
for goal or to another player. If he
wishes to continue the dribbling after
stopping, he must keep the ball bounc-
ing up and down as he stands
Formerly, IL three players put their
hands on the ball at once, the side
having two men touch the ball fouled.
Now, IL two players are struggling for
possession of the ball, third man who
comes into bodily contact with either
of them Is penalized, but he may reach
under them and secure the ball without
a foul II he does not touch them.
If the referee calls play BALI and
the members of a team for some reason
fall to take their places at the end OF
the minute, the referee viii throw the
ball into the air and the play is started
anyway. An important change was
made in the boundary line. In the past
the line has been inside. Now any
player or the ball touching the line at
all Is outside. The ball is outside If a
player standing on the side seizes the
ball or 1t is thrown TO him. Glass
backgrounds for the baskets are le-
galized under the new rules. These
have until now been illegal.

NORTH DAKOTA
GETTING MONEY
THE BIG GRAIN MOVEMENT HAS
STARTED THE WESTWARD
FLOW OF MONEY.

Minneapolis, Sept s.-Currency,
shipments from Minneapolis to the
country were the largest today since
the grain movement began. Express
companies took out In excess Of $780,
600, and OF this, not less than $780,
600 went TO North Dakota. Today's
figures bring up the outflow to pro-
portions more in keeping with the big
grain production and the currency de-
mand that should be expected to fol-
dow. To date, bankers say, there had
been unusually light demand, due
partly to the good conditions of the
country banks with reference TO cash
business, the proportion Of cash avail
able in the country banks to assets
having been larger at harvest than
usual A daily movement that may
amount up to 100000 at times and
that WIN average about 100000 ia
expected TO continue from this time
on.

nous physician-w wrestler OF Seattle,
here Friday night that Roller was car
ried from the ring unconscious at the

sensational wrestling ever seen in this

The bout abounded with rough work
on the part Of both wrestlers. Orde-

time and again he had Roller in tight
places, only to have the Seattle man
wriggle away just as he was about
to pin his shoulders to the mat.
Finally, Ordeman secured danger

break. Lifting Roller high in the air,
Ordean slammed his opponent to the

was knocked unconscious. AS Roller
was unable to continue the match was

Ordeman was detained by the police

SUNDAY BASEBALL
AGAIN DISCUSSED

st. Paul Pioneer Press: 1t remained
for Minneapolis to spring new stunt
ia the baseball line, and the Miller
management surely furnished the fans
with a novel programme last Sunday
when Rev. "Go Lightly Morrell took
part in the days festivities by deliver
ing a sermon preceding the scheduled
game between the Miliers and the
aBIOos."
1t was much like the custom Of war
when the two opposing armies were
lined upon the night preceding the
coming battle to have the chaplains
ask protection for the soldiers, except
that Rev. Go Lightly did not ask
for protection for the players who
were about to face the fire OF the OPP
posing pitchers, but gave brief dis
course upon the propriety of playing
the game on the Sabbath.
Mr.. Morrell gave a safe and sane
talk TO the players and the roofing
brigade on the many benefits to be de-
rived from the national game, and de-
clared that 1t was not only healthful
for the players but helpful to the fans
themselves to get out into the open ail
on Sunday and give vent TO the en-
thusiasm which had been bottled ur
during the six preceding days 1t was
In direct contrast to the foregoing In
cident which took place at Atlantic

Rev. MorreIl was not the recipient 81

/. were the "reformers'' In the east.
.The only sin OF Sunday baseball Ii

Morrell, and those few words carry
considerable truth.

Sunday baseball is not a sin, has beer
preached and preached by the stauncf
supporters OF the national game year
