who are getting numerous enough,
would get together. organize an as
ISOLATION, and adopt rules and reg
ulations for the raining of cars in
the city, and name a committee to
see that the, rules, are enforced, it
might obviate the necessity of
harsher means through city ordi-
nances for the government of ma
chimes and drivers. The owners and
drivers of machines themselves
ought to be interested in seeing that
the operation of cars in the streets of

especially to children. 1t is the

SOME ELOOUENCE.

Minnesota has an immigration
commissioner who has drawn upon
the classics for literature designed
fifty to present the state to the
world. He has been publishing
thirty boosts" for the state and the
thirtieth boost is thus set forth:
Land Of the sky-tinted waters
spreading thy expanse of fertile, YER
dant beauty under the bluest skies
in the world; rejecting their azure
in ten thousand dimpli1g lakes and
shattering their sunshine into dia-
monds in as many sparkling streams!
Nothing that thy children ask of
thee is asked in vain. Deep il the
foundations of thy rocky north the
ancient fires melted and poured the
metals, more precious than gold or
silver, to be nodded into mobile
forms wherein the modern fires have
breathed the breath of power and
life; or to be spun by cunning hands
into glistening gossamer webs to
carry the harnessed lightnings. Here
Nature hewed and carved the pine
shafts of vast. shadowy, whispering
temples that thy sons and daughters
might have dwellings. Thy prairies
were spread in the young centuries
of the world to await and to reward
the sewers who should fertilize the
granary of the earth. Thy southern
many-watered pastures feed the un-
counted cattle of an empire. There
is fruit upon thy hillsides, and thy
valleys over-pour with richness.
Mighty cities have been born of thee,
and the smokes of un1umbered hap
py hearthstones rise like a pillar of
cloud to guide men to the promised
land. Thy boundaries are the walls
of plenteous store-house; the mar
gins of a page that is a rubric in
Americans liturgy of praise!
Beautiful, beautiful! And about
how many wagon loads of pumpkins
to the acre please?

OTTO HESS IS SUCCESSFUL

Has Fine Control.

Otto Hess Is the most successful
kwirlef in the Southern league this
Weapon. In fact, there are several rea-
cons for the Dutchmans wonderful
SUCCESS, reasons known to the ball
players and to the fans and to nearly
every one.
The main reason Of his wonderful
success is his fine control. Otto has
been singing them across the plate
this year with reckless abandon. He
has been walking very few men for
ieft-hander and this has had lot to
do with the majority Of winnings that
he has accumulated.
But there is one reason, known only
to the ball players, to which his big
success can be attributed. Hess, as
every fan who has seen him in action
knows, Is no small man by any means.
In fact, he is a six-footer, and this has
aided him greatly in fooling the bat.

To use the expression Of the ball

three times as much money to pitch
two games a week. I pitched for q
time while looking for job but made
nothing. Once I pitched a winning
game and was paid two pitchers I'M

was not encouraging. The best offer l
received from any firm which needed
the services Of a college graduate In
my line was $50 a month. began to
regret that had devoted 90 much of
my time to study and so little to base
ball. Then I received good offer
to pitch baseball professionally and
accepted 1t. Several fellows from the
university team had made good In the
major leagues and they boosted" me.
The result was l jumped right into
the major league and began to forget
my other profession.

had the distinction of being the best
utility man living, but he wanted to be
In the game all the time, and yet
Chance wouldn't put him there.
Chance maintained that Rabbit Slagle,
with his ability to negotiate bases on
balls as we'll as timely hits, would be
the goods for the regular center field
err. But after Slagle passed and Hof-
man took up the regular work in GEN.
ter 1t was evident that he ought to
have been there long before. He hit
harder than Slagle, he made more
runs, he covered much more ground
with his long strides, and his throwing
arm was infinitely better. In short,
the Cubs had been keeping star bats
man and magical fielder in utility roles
for years, and never realized that
they were neglecting an element of
power. Queer how baseball works its
ways. isn't It?

Ford has solved that problem by in

break in. Ford found that by moisten-
