Stallings for the Phillies?

Charlie Comiskey has high regard
for many of his players, but when 1t
comes down to using any of them in
trades, big Ed" Walsh alone Is the
real treasure of the White Sox outfit.
WISH must remain. no matter who else
leaves. Walsh Is in many ways the
most remarkable pitcher in major league
baseball He uses the splitter continu-
ally, and yet seldom suffers from a
lame arm. He Is truly of iron physique.
generally pitching more innings than
any man in baseball His delivery is
easy but powerful. He can always be
depended upon to deliver the best he
has. Without Walsh the White Sox
L<ould be unrecognizable, and Charlie
'Comiskey but shows his brains when he
orders Jimmy Callahan to hold to the
Meridian man through thick and thin.

Some skating soon.

Columbia has started a fght on the
old custom Of awarding varsity "C'sr to
managers OF athletic teams. In this con-
nection the college daily. the Columbia
Spectator. has the following few pointed
remarks:
There is no essential difference be-
tween the manager Of a team and the
manager Of any other undergraduate
activity. The manager of a sport deals
IN games and sweaters; the manager Of
a show deals In performances and per-
maps gowns and songs: but their work
Is at bottom the same. and the same
man could do either equally we'll. They
work In a different medium. that's all
we do not mean to belittle the work of
the managers. Far from 1t. A good
manager can at times do more toward
advancing his team than can two or
three Of his best players, but he isn't
an athlete. and shouldn't be given an
athletes insignia. 1t would perhaps be
proper to give the managers some spe-
cial insignia other than the regular nom
athletic insignia, but they shouldn't be
given the varsity C.
Should man who is chosen for busI-
ness ability. whose work Is Of a strict
ly business nature. be given the insignia
OF an athelete? There's the whole aues-
ton in brief.

Of those who had articles to sell. Both
sides Of the street was lined with boxes

joining. 1t is estimated that 500 people
were in attendance. The sales reached
near the $4,000 mark
Several days previous to the big sale
articles were being stored in nearby
warehouses. The special feature of
this sale was the immense amount of
machinery and an unusual number of
horses.
The sales conducted by the famous au
ctioneers, Dickens & Miller, are be-
coming more important each succeed
ing sale. These sales are regularly
conducted the first Monday of each
month and people are becoming ac-
customed to bring whatever they de-
sire to sell.
By conducting these sales regularly
the first Monday of each month a regu-
lar market is formed which is being
taken advantage of by the people. This.
particular Monday each month is also
made a special day by the Caldwell
merchants.
A number Of merchants will set aside
special bargains for that day and will
make their announcements in the Cald-
well News the issue on Friday before
