7 INSTEAD Of Manager Mccormick
coraling Manager Blacks goat
Il at Chutes park Christmas day, as
he was SO confident of doing, it seems
that the verstile manager of the col
ored Occidental baseball team turned
the tables and yesterday, when Ihe
Herald camera man went out TO the
park to get a few snapshots of the
"dinges" doing practice stunts for the
doubleheader with the All Stars. to
be played New Years and Sunday,
Black had Jim's goat and was trying
to get him accustomed to the changed

score being to 4.

Carlisle always was a particular pet
of the Angel city fans, having made
an instantaneous hit with them when
he went on duty the first day he
played in an Angel uniform. He con-
tinued to improve in batting and held
ing until he was grabbed up by one or
the big league clubs two seasons ago.
When he was sold by Berry he was
hitting like Wagner and was fielding
marvelously close to perfection. he
also was one of the best rungetters
in the Coast league, being by tar the
leetest player in the league, and by
reason of this great speed he was the
source of great annoyance to helders
of the opposing club whenever he got
on the base circuit.
Brashear has been playing in the
American association for seven years,
nutting in five years of that time with
kansas City and playing two years
with Louisville. Without disparaglns
the playing ability of his brother, the
only Kitten, it must be admitted that
Rov is a much better player, being a
more reliable batter and more mn
ished fielder That is saying heap
for Roy, as Kitty always has ranked
as one of the most popular players
that ever donned an Angel UNIFORM.
Roy bats right up against the .3O0
mark every season, his average Tor
1909 being .292 and his 1908 average
being three points better. That Roy
is a crack fielder Is proved in the tact
that he averages above Carlisle III
fielding percentages, and Coast league
fans know what that means. Brash-
ear is an all-round player, but ms
natural position is at second base,
and he probably will fill that position
on the Vernon team.
The news that this pair OF crack
nlayers will wear Vernon uniforms
next season will be received with much
rejoicing by local fans and indicates
that Hogan means what he says when
he nromises that his club shall be a
serious contender for the pennant next
wear Hogan is a hustler and is prov
ine to be a manager of rare ability
i'm handling men and in engineering
the destinies of his club. 1t was a
master stroke to secure these players
and the effect will be felt most satls-
factorlly i'm the box office receipts dur
ing the season.

for boats, both large and small. The GEN.

The fact that the city Of Alexandra

day 1t is the custom Of the bucksters to

PASSING OF THE CANOE.

An Indisn fcneral on Lake Michigan
Tuesday, in which power lsunces were
substituted for canoes, marked strik-

of that region have clung to the canoe
of the "Hiswaths" period. Very re-
Gently funerals occasiOned picturesque
professions, almost identied with the
ancient one that accompanied the body
of the pioneer missionary, Pere Mar
quette from its temporary burial place
near Lndington to ST. Iguace, on the
Straits of Maclnsc.
But Tuesday at the funeral of Joseph
Cornsialk the traditional canoe was
conspicuous by its absence. Fully 100 In
dians escorted the body of the well known
redmau from his late home on Beaver
Island to the cemetery on Garden Is
land, two miles to the north, but all the
