CHASE TO BOSS
THE HIGHLANDERS

BY United press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. March lO.-When base
ball player can unceremOniOusly desert
his team, return to it and receive a low
ing cup from the fans and eventually be
elected captain Of the team, there must be
some class TO him, in the opinion Of New
York fans who are reminded OF 1t all to-
day by announcement that Hal Chase has
been named by Manager stallings to pilot
the Highlanders. The announcement OF
Chase's selection, from Athens. Ca,
where the hill toppers are getting in
shape, tends TO boom the stock or the
team, as the peerless" first baseman is
counted a good, fighter and one of the
most popular men who ever drew salary
from magnate Farrell.

ANXIOUS TIME
FOR THE PLAYERS
Many Youngsters Will Force
Out Veterans Before
Seasons Play =

For all except comparatively few OF the
regiment of baseball players now under
contract to major league clubs the next
six or eight weeks are the most trying OF
the year, exceeding in individual anxiety
even the warmest week. OF a hot cham
pionshp finish
There are three classes in that regiment,
the experienced players who are in their
prime, consequently assured OF their po-
sitions the veterans who have passed tho
noon hour of their hey-day and can see
their suns setting toward the western hor-
izon. and the youngsters who have been
selected as worthy OF a chance to demon
strate their ability 10 shine in the widest
circle OF the sporting world. Only the first
named class is free from worry over
making good" for the coming pennant
races, and a considerable portion OF that
favored class still is anxious regarding
the salary question.
There Is nothing in baseball sadder than
the feelings Of the veteran who has been
acclaimed a hero by hundreds OF thous-
ands. but is nearing the day when his
strong throwing arm or his keen batting
4 eye will begin TO weaken or fade. There
is nothing brighter than the hope yelling
in the breasts OF the ambitious young man
who believe they have I'm them the stun
OF which diamond heroes are made, whose
muscles OF pliant-steel respond eager y
to every opportunity and whose vision is
olouded only by the dread that they may
fail to attain their greatest desire.
In the next few weeks some OF these
veterans whose brains stin TEEN with
perfect knowledge OF the science OF tbs

muscles less responsive and their eye'
more easily deceived by curve or liner
The game is passing them, and their hes

youngsters whose eager expectancy il

THIS FELLOW BE?
The CoateavilIe Ree-.rd says:

A Wilmington, Del, baseball manager
who has a number OF professional play
ers under contract was in this place on
Saturday attempting to interest fanatics
here in his team and TO secure a ground
upon which he planned II 10 play during
the coming season. He received no en-
couragement however. and the town does
not want such team. The old Brandy
wine is being organized by Patrick Cor
coran and A. c. Whitcraft who have
secured some fast men, several from this
county. in an endeavor 10 arouse the old
local interest. The team will play in a
league to be made up OF teams in this
place, Coatesville. Phoenixville, Norris

be made to place a good team there. Ken

WHAT CHRIST
OFFERS TO man
Evangelist Tells Congregation
There is New Life for
Everyone

The Rev. George C. Mahy, al the Y.
M. c. A. evangelical meeting for men,
in st. Paul's NJ. f. Church last night,
spoke on "Erring Because Of Ignor-
ance."
He said: 1--WE know absolutely moth
ing about ourselves. our sinfulness or
our Saviour. without the teaching Of
the Bible That is why Christ said in
Matthew, 22-29. 'Ye do err, not knowing
the Scriptures The revelation which
the Bible makes OF holiness and of the
possibilities OF life. creates in us a dis
satisfaction with life on a low level
and fills US with a desire for some
thing higher. Just at this point the
Bible comes to us again with invita-
tions which show what Christ has to
offer us-and with promises Of what
he will do for us. And by these, we
are encoura ged to climb out of the old
life TO something better.
I'VE are not only encouraged, but
We are actually furnished with a new
life-power with which 20 begin and
continue the struggle for self mastery
and victory over sin.
II want to point out what the Bible
Will do for a follower OF Christ. II
will bring you new life. It will cleanse
the life of the man who studies and
trys to obey it, Wherewithal. shall
a young man cleanse his way? BY
taking heed. thereto, according to Thy
word. Now We are clean through the
word which have spoken unto you.
II builds up faith and courage. II
warns and cheers mems hearts wher
they are in danger Of defeat, by rea.
son Of discouragement. And IL fur
nishes a true test for character and
conduct. by which to Judge ourselve:
or others.
IF then. We do not want to err, We
should take Christ's command and
search the Scriptures for guidance"

Just at present il does not look very

at that time the entire matter will be

Killed the Horses

Bowbells, N. D., Oct. 29.-Rus-
sian cactus has assumed a new role
in this section and aside from be-
ing an unwelcome guest so far as
the good of the ground proper is
concerned, it has found to be the
cause of the death of horses owned
by Peter Jordy. While engaged
in plowing, Jordy drove through
considerable of this cactus growth
and within a few days, the two
horses that had been driven out of
the furrow, became sick and died.
Veterinarians have been at a loss
to explain the cause and it was fin
ally determined that the cactus
must have been responsible, as the
two horses working the furrow
were not harmed in any manne r.
