PRINCE is COMING ON VISIT
Tour Of Young British Son of Royalty
Recalls Tour Of King Edward OF
United States.

London.-Plans are making for the
expected visit of the young prince of
Wales to the United States, a tour
that recalls the travels of the late
King Edward, then prince of Wales,
to America.
Edwards swing around the Yankee
circle was continuous march of tr1-
umphs, his democratic ways winning
plaudits and friends in every city in
which he visited.
The coming travels westward of the
boy prince are exciting great interest
in England for the reason that al
though his father, King George v.
saw" America, he did not get SO in
innate view of the land of the free
as did Edward.
King George was entertained in
America as the prince of Wales also,
but he had arrived only on its east
ern shores in command Of the Eng
fish fleet participating in a Canadian
celebration and did not go into the
interior. In fact, he did not leave
the fleet, as he merely took part In
Boston and New York receptions to
members of the feet and then sailed
away.

If the plans Of the management of

and minus considerable weight. As the
result of that trip, the club lost the

off the names OF the stations between

Evers will be laid up three months

Physicians were rushed to his aid,
while Evers lay screaming with pain.
The injury is compound fracture and

This I think applies to other lines of
business as well as to baseball. A
young player who is seriously think

study the game. He ought to decide
for himself just what position he is

that position until he knows all the
