Maps Sensational Young Player
Known TO Several Clubs
but Passed Up.

Joe jackson, the Cleveland tsar out
fielder, has, perhaps, the most inter-
esting career of any a player of the
present generation, writes J. Stuart
Price in the Washington Star.
Often star players a stories writ
ten of them in regard to their start
In baseball and their climb to fame
and fortune, but the correct story of
Jacksoni is for the first time truthfully
told.
Thu feet-footed Nap halls from
| South Carolina, coming from the little
| city of Greenville, which is situated
at the foot of the historic old Blue
Ridge mountains. Jackson, like all
sons of Dixie, loved the open air and
spent his spare moments on the vacant
lots chasing fly balls and batting the
sphere out of the reach of his play
| mates.
He earned his living by working in
one of the cotton mills, drawing as his
compensation for eleven hours of hard
work in a weave room S1.10 q day.
After the mill closed it's days work
at $3.50 o'clock Joe would join the other
mill boys in a game of innings" or

star of the whole bunch.
He soon realized that he could earn
more money at baseball thar he could
in working in a cotton mill. Conse-
quently a newspaper man who knew
him took up the cause and tried to get
q club in the South Atlantic League to
get him. The manager Of that team
gave the pe~ncil-pusher the laugh, and
remarked that he was surprised at him
in asking for a try-out for an ignorant
mill-boy. Not discouraged, the same
writer took the matter up with the
Greenville Club, of the Carolina Asso-
citation, persuaded the manager to
take Jackson on for a try-out. jackson
then had left Greenville for a little
town nearby, but was signed and re-
ported for practise in the spring OF
1908. His newspaper friend, who lived
in the same city, spared no space in
boosting the boy.
In his first professional game against
the Boston Nationals in an exhibition
contest the mill-boy displayed his
natural hitting ability by slamming Out
a home run, a triple and a double in
three times at bat.
This boosted his chances, and the
manager decided to keep him. He con
tinued to hit in other exhibition games
and during the season of 1908 he easily
led the Carolina Association in hits
His batting was simply wonderful
Washington had a chance to get Joe
/ for the writer recommended him to Joe
lCantillon. The former Washington
manager laughed and said he was
simply a bush league hash-in-the-par

VETO BILL PASSED
LORDS PASS MEASURE BY VOTE
OF 131 TO ia AFTER STORMY
DEBATE.
LORD R0SEBERY AN OPPONENT
Threat to Create Scores Of New
Peers Again Is Made by Govern
ment Before Final Ballot Is Taken
In Upper House.

London.-The house of lords passed
the veto bill by vote of 131 to ia.
Thus the creation of new peers has
been averted. The resolution to pay
members of the house. of commons
$4,000 annually for their services was
also carried by vote of 256 to 159
After days and days of discussion,
in which necessary business of the
government has been hopelessly side
tracked, Lord Morley came out with
the plain statement that unless the
bill as originally sent to the lords
was passed the king had signitied
his willingness to create enough new
peers to prevent the Liberals from be-
ing hampered by Tory majority in
the house of lords.
Morley read the statement slowly
from paper on which 1t was written
and there was not a whisper in the
house while he was speaking The
lords were up against a wall and,
although few in the chamber at all
relished the measure the majority Of
them voted for 1t rather than accept
the alternative which has been held
before them ever since their leaders
declared they would veto the veto
bill even as they had the budget,
the cause of all their woes.
Old friends of the government lined
up with its foes in the debate pre-
ceding the taking of the vote, and
Conservative peers, seeing the re-
suit of a continued opposition to the
administration, took the lesser of the
two evils presented them.
The debate Immediately preceding
the taking of the vote was short and
marked by the bitter speeches of
UUnionist opponents.
Lord Rosebery, who spoke for the
first time since the veto bill was in
troduced in the upper house, de-
nounced the government for having
gone to "a young and inexperienced
king, not yet five months upon the
throne, to ask for guarantees to pass
a bill that had not even passed its
first reading in the house of COM
mons"
