(By CARL p. LEATHERwoopl


An announcement that will no
doubt meet with the popular appro-
val OF fandom was made yesterday by
Manager Montgomery. OF the Wheel
Ing team. which was to the effect that
Chester King. the recruit from Par
kersburg. would be placed in the
game. King will be stationed on the
third cushion and will relieve Freddie
Graf. who has been guarding that sack
since the season opened. Just what
disposition will be made OF Graf re-
mains to be seen, but he will be car
RED as a utility man for a time. at
least.
King is Just recovering from the ef.
tects OF an operation performed on
his neck and although Il is still a
little stif Chester is of the opinion
that its llmberness is sufficient to per-
nit him TO get into the game. King
has shown in the few times he has
oiled In on the local team that he is a
natural hitter and his ability as a
fielder compares favorably with that
OF Graf. Freddie has been making an
excellent showing both in base run
ming and fielding but is miserably
weak with the stick and II is expect
ed that with the placing of the Par
kersburg boy In the game a lower OF
strength will be added TO the
Smokes. King will play in one OF the
games this afternoon and will &C
company the team this evening to
South Bend. while Graf will most
likely remain over. With King. Jewell,
Lewis and Crane looking after the in
ner garden the Smokes will have an
infeld that will compare with that OF
any teams in the circuit and scarce
ly any improvement could be made in
the outfeld.

In 1905 Leconte was minister of the
interior in his cabinet. A black man
named Simon got up a revolution and
for months there was bloodshed in
Haiti. Leconte ordered ten promi-

them to death and buried them on the
spot. Nevertheless the revolution
succeeded. Old Nord Alexis was

president. OF course Leconte had to.
