 posing Procession

The 40 hours devotion which began at St. Pauls church at the close of high mass yesterday is an event of more than ordinary interest to the Catholics of the parish The Rev. Father Coen was the celebrant. There was no sermon at the mass but Father Coyle read the notices for the week and instructions relating to the 40 hours devotion. He also read the epistle and gospel in English appointed for the third Sunday of Lent
 After the mass the Blessed Sacrament was borne In procession through the aisles. In the procession were banner bearers, a cross bearer. torch bearers, members of the junior Holy Name society wearing red sashes, little girls strewing flowers; larger girls and many altar boys. The Sacred Host was borne aloft by the celebrant and the canopy over the host was supported by four gentlemen or the Holy Name society. As the procession moved slowly and solemnly the choir sang the familiar old Latin hymn, "Pange Lingua." After the Blessed Sacrament had been placed over the tabernacle for the adoration of the faithful, Father Coen sang the illdny Ol tnc soiitS. iui ii5 the afternoon hundreds of Catholics wis., tied the church and spent some time in adoration and meditation.
 Last night at the 7:30 o'clock services the congregation was unusually large. The Rev. Patrick Turner. pastor of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament, West End, preached sermon on the doctrine of the Real Presence. It is said by those present at St. Paurs to have been an exceptionally strong and eloquent dis course.
 Catholics will visit the church during today for adoration. Tonight the Rt. Rev. F. P. Allen, bishop of Mobile. will preach a sermon. and tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock the bishop will celebrate a solemn pontifical high mass. after. which the 40 hours devotion will close with pro- cession.

OSCAR UNDERWOOD .
 POPULAR IN GEORGIA
His Campaign Already Talk
 ing Active Hold
OPEN HEADQUARTERS
Understood Gov. Brown and Other We'll Known Georgians Favor the Distinguished Alabamian-TO
 Fix Primary Date Tuesday

Atlanta, March 10.-(Special.) )-The Un-
 dcrwood campaign is already taking
 strong in Georgia; all it seems to have
 derwood sentiment That movement came
 in the shape of a getting together of
 tho Underwood leaders in Atlanta and the opening of campaign headquarters. Manager G. R. Hutchens of the Under wood campaign in Georgia, following the opening of headquarters in the Artgon hotel, has associated with him Col. Neyle Colquitt of Savannah as press represen- tative; and 1t is said the only trouble Coquitt is having is tos decide which of the prominent Georgians who are for Un- del wood to put forward first.
 Col w. s. West of Valdosta, one of the best known business men in the south- ern section of the state, and former pres ident of the state senate, has just come
 out in a strong interview for Underwood. Mayor Herbert Clay of Marietta has writ ten letter along the same line that is particularly significant, and Carl Vinson of Milledgeville, speaker pro tenn of the house, follows along the same line. Although he has given out no public statement, it is well known that Gov Joseph M. Brown is for Oscar w. Under wood for President, as it was he and his campaign manager J. R. Smith, who sug- gested G. R. Hutchens of Rome as the
 man to handle the Underwood fight in Georgia.
 Underwood Attracts
 It is already apparent that Underwood is attracting leading Georgians on a basis wholly independent of factional lines
 There has been somewhat of a show of factionalism in the Woodrow Wilson movement, owing to the fact that Senator Hoke Smith is supporting him. But re-
 gardless of local affiliations, both Brown
 and Smith men are uniting in support of
 Underwood.
 Closely following the opening of Under
 wood headquarters the Wilson people got
 busy and have secured quarters in the
 Kimball house. They are the quarters,
 by the way, which, it is said. Commis-
 sioner of Agriculture T. c. Hudson tried
 to secure and may yet get. for his cam
 paign for governor, since the presidential
 primary will probably be over before the
 campaign for governor is on.
 The state executive committee will meet here next Tuesday. March 12. for the pur- pose of fixing date or dates for the pres idertial primary--dates, because 1t is not unlikely that insofar as is possible. the presidential primary will be combined with the county primaries as they are held, to save expense. Many of the county primaries will be held in April and May, and 1t Is expected the committee will arrange at the same time for a vote on the presidential candidate in those counties. The disadvantage about this plan is that 1t will string out the | election over long period, with a gen. eral primary date as necessity in order l to round up those counties which do not
 hold their local primaries in time.

o, HENRY OVERLOOKED
 JUST ONE LITTLE BET

NEW YORK, Feb 29.-The late e. Henry once came through with yarn about Nashville, Tenn. which added more than a trifle to his general aver age. In his compilation he depicted the city's commercial and collegiate statis- tics. described a few of it's citizens and inserted a few other odds and ends
 But having finished, O. Henry over looked one of the most renowned in- stitutions of the city-One of it's most classic landmarks and rarest sets of scenery. He made no mention of Rub Der. the last of the Mascoting Mo- hicans. the sole survivor of the Iron Age in Balldom, still engaged in the national game.
 In a pastime which has given Rube Waddell, Bugs Raymond and C. Victor Faust to history. Rubber stil stands unique He looked to be an old man when he first broke into the conflict, thirty two years ago.
 His initial appearance on the battle field was in 1880. when he came out with a shuffling stride, shriveled and bent then. and as black as the mouth of a railroad tunnel. He was inn mediately installed as mascot and of ficial warmer up of the pitching staff. Rubber has handled more than one star in his day or his run of days hut he has yet to find slabman with

speed enough to make him wear a glove If Walter Johnson or Rube Marquard care to go out after a rec ord they will still find Rubber wait ing with a side bet and the entire gate receipts to the winner.
 Rubber operated extensively through the regimes of Ted Sullivan and George Stallings. He helped develop Hoffer and Skirts Harper and Sammy Moran. He picked Noodles Hahn from the lots, instructed him in the art of pitching and sent him along the Redland flock and Cincinnati. Hahns strike-out mark of seventeen against Boston still stands as National league record. And when Hahn came back on a tour with the Reds. Rubber still handled his collection of shoots and curves with one bare paW-as big and as tough as the epidermis of a modern battleship.
 He lifted Lefty Davis from street corner, worked him out as d kid. sent him over the hurdles and tneu placed him in the b,g show Davis hit .360 with Pittsburg one season. and was d big factor in that clubs pennant fight. He has Jagged the shots of Toad Ramsay and Weyhing, Ehret and Breitenstein, Hahn and HOffer, Math- ewson and McGinty, Joss and Bern hard. and the missile shoots into his massive black paw like pill pitch ed into cotton batting.

 Although the mail carriers were the pioneer motorcycle riders in the cen tral district of the Federation of American Motorcyclists the ranks of enthusiastic riders now includes near ly all classes of men, especially the farmers who are now riding both for business" and recreation. In Ne braska. Kansas. Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota and North Dakota, the six states comprising the central district, the motorcycle is no longer nov city. It is filling an actual need in the development of these states.
 From business standpoint the farmer is finding that he cannot do without a motorcycle. It enables him to make quick trips to nearby city or town when some part of farm implement is needed or some errand must be run" In some communities the motor itself does double duty. be- ing used at times as power for churn- ing and smelling corn. In the central district the motorcycle is certainly filling the bill" on the farm.
 Not many years ago one seldom met motorcyclist on the road, but the rural mail carrier who quickly saw the advantages of riding the motor cycle on his route aroused the interest of the farmer. He. too. became in

 Now nearly every farm community and town in the district has at least it's motOrcyclists They are riding to save time and money ana they are en- thusiastic tourists. Sunday riding is very popular.

 At the present time there are more than 5000 riders in the central dis trict and before many months have passed the number will be doubled. MotOrcycling is becoming very pOpu- lar in the central district of the F. X. NJ. especially in Kansas and Iowa.

Spikes of the Normal pounded out the second home run that has been made in the league this year.
 The Phoenix boys did not make a Very good showing at the bat. taking only , hits off of J. Spikes, the normal pitcher. Orme, who is always counted on to hit. lined out a good one yes terday. Corpstein was up four times and gathered in two hits. Corpstein can either drop a bunt or pound the ball out, and when the fielders run in for him they are more than likely to be needed way back. McFall and Harrison also found the Normal pitch er for d hit apiece. altogether the Phoenicians did not find Spikes so hard to hit as Dimes of the Tempe high.

Willie Signs Twentieth Con- tract-How to Get to list
 His Speciality.

NEW YORK, March 2.- There is not case in base ball parallel to that of Willie Keeler. Last week. for the third time in nineteen years Willie signed a contract with the Brooklyn club. This time the veteran will go south with the Dodgers to Hot Springs to coach the youngsters and some of the veterans of the squad. for that matter in how to reach first base by way of hitting them where they ain't,' buntation, bases on balls or any other old way. Willie has had a long experience in this i'm portant department of the game. and has always been a success at getting to the first sack. There is not a member of the team who cannot learn something by following Keeler's instructions.
 Besides being a member ot  the Brooklyn club at three diff ferent times. Keeler has twice been a member of the Giants, and was also with the High flanders for seven years. John Ward got Keeler from the Binghamton (Eastern league) club in 1892. and he finished the season with the Giants. In 1894 he was traded, with Dan Brouthers, to the Baltimore club for Treadway and Shindle. Keeler remained with the Orioles until 1899, when he was transferred to Brooklyn. He re- mained there until 1903. when he jumped to the Highlanders. He was released by the Hilltop club in 1909. and in 1910 made his second appearance with the Giants. After playing with the Toronto Eastern league club part of last year. keeler now returns to the Brooklyn club, signing his twentieth contract in big league company.

 Gainor made his bow as a big leaS- uer last spring. He got off to run ming start and was one of the main reasons why the Tigers beat the bar rier in such sizzling style. Also THE reason they backed up like they dld and eventually tossed off what ap- peared like a sure pennant to the mer- rv men of Mister Mack.

As for Hal Del has him left at the post. only. per haps when it comes to going through with -he hit and run stuff and Del IS rapidly learning that gag As for speed. Gainor is much faster than Chase. Yes. Hal is probably the greatest defensive first baseman m the game. owing to the ground he covers and the fact that he IS left- handed workman.
