three occasions he Kicked goals
from the 40.yard line and he has
not failed to get at least one field
goal In every game.
One peculiar feature in connec-
ton with the extraordinary kick
ing of this youngster is that in
practice he does not locate the
goal. He has practiced an entire
afternoon kicking only few
goals, but in a game, with his op-
ponents breaking through, and
everything depending upon the &C.
curacy of his toe. he has no trouble
driving the ball between the up
rights.
His fame as drop kicker is so
well known in Milwaukee that

LOST A FORTUNE IN
BASEBALL WARFARE

Henry v. Lucas, former st. Louis
millionaire baseball magnate and
later a street employee at $75 a
month, is dead. His fortune was
wiped out in a number of invest
ments, the first O. which was in
baseball.
Lucas organized the Union league
to buck the National league in 1884.

season are rehearsed and viewed
from their various angles.

Then the football season ends,
hut baseball RACES merrily. Just
about this time of the year we are
RECALLED with tales of the baseball
marvels who have been signed for
the team next season. Will "Blg
Bill" our old favorite, hold down
the first sack next season? Rumor
has it that the crack shortstop will
hold out for more coin next sea-
son and may not be with the team.
viii the new man be able to swat
the ball to all corners of the lot
as did the old war horse who has
been holding down that centerfield
job ever since Heck was pup?
That new man that we get from
DingtOwn next year is sure mar
vel. He fielded thousand and
four all season and batted nine
hundred in the Sagebrush league.
And this keeps us at fever heat
until the training season starts,
and then the routine begins all
over again. Truly. to paraphrase
an old saying: Games may come
and games may go, but baseball
goes on forever"
All of which foregoing is called
forth by the arrival in town last
night of President Joe Cohn of the
Indians, who has just returned
from trip through the east, where
he has been signing up the usual
bunch of embryo wonders for next
years team. And say, fellows, Joe
sure has the classiest bunch of new
recruits that was ever landed by
one minor league manager in a
single season--but that's another
story and will be told later.

TIES IN FOOTBALL
ARE UNFORTUNATE

Tie scores in football are I'M
fortunate. They're unsatisfactory.
In baseball you don't mind a tie.
1t means a good tight extra inning
game. The fan knows the teams
will meet again, probably the next
day in a double-header--and he
goes home happy.
But with football it's different.
A game for the championship Is at
stake. It goes to tie, and the
stuff is off for another year. No
chance to settle the title.
Why not work it as they do In
hockey? Play fifth period If both
teams agree.

Cohn Wants
Big Meeting

Owner Joe Cohn of the Indians
is back home again, and has in his
bonnet little bee which keeps
buzzing that Spokane ought to get
the 1912 meeting of the National
Baseball association. It's good
bee, Joe; keep 1t buzzing. and the
whole town will line up behind you.
That bee listens good.

Casual Comment on Sport Things That Have Hap
pened, Are Happening or Might Happen.

Baseball Is certainly the nation
al sport. There is no other amuse-
ment in the athletic line to which
the people of this country pay so
much attention, no other sport
which maintains its interest
throughout the entire year. Foot
ball Is the big game of the fall sea-
son, but when Thanksgiving games
are over, football is laid on the
shelf and forgotten until autumn
again starts the leaves drifting.
Lawn tennis has it's season and
then the racquets and nets are put
away for another year. Hunting
and fishing. boating and kindred
sports have their we'll recognized
season, but the interest in baseball
never dies.
During the spring months, the all
absorbing page of the paper is that
which tells us Of the wonderful
manner in which the team is per-
forming on its training trip. In
the summer months the season Is
in full blast and every day the
loyal fans are interested in what
the team is doing. either at home
or on the foreign lots. Then fol-
lows the post-season series. And
then few days of quietude. While
the football season Is at its height
the fall tanning season of the base
ball bugs has its innings, and
around the firesides in the eve
nings is told over and over the
story Of So-and-So's great play, the
probable outcome of the game If
the third baseman had handled that
line drive bit faster, what would
have happened II our favorite
pitcher hadn't had a streak of bad
luck on such and such memor.
