Jake Hollenbeck, TOT several years assistant general passenger agent for the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain with headquarters at Little Rock, has been promoted to the position of gen. eral passenger agent for the same lines at St. Louis. MT. Hollenbeck was "too good.' His promotion was to come sooner or later. and while Arkansas will miss him his friends rejoice in knowing that real merit has been given recognition. But what is worrying the All-Oyer-Arkansas man of the Gazette is finding another man who can be beaten as easily as MT. Hollenbeck on the golf lipks of the Capital City Country Club.-Pine Bluff Graphic.
 The promotion of Jake Hollenbeck was a premeditated assault on our if nances by the Missouri-Pacific rail7 way. Hollenbeck has been worth real money to us, inasmuch as we are able to beat him at any game except one To our sorrow we tried him once in | pinochle and found when too late that we had taken in too much territory ! It seems that pinochle was originated in MT. Hollenbeck's home town il Gcrmauy-L4ittle Rock Gazette.

absolutely to put up with the way
things are run there
1t is unfortunate for the leagues
of the South that the idea has gone
abroad among baseball players
that the South in summer is fiery
furnace, in which thrive only mos
quitoes, aligators, malaria and old
time ball players. This foolish no
ton makes 1t doubly difficult for
Southern league teams to get good
players
The responsibility for the wrong
idea held by ball players about the
climate in the South is the fault,
largely Of ball players themselves.
And it has resulted from the ball
players natural tendency to exag-
gerate man goes South for
season, He comes back and has to
talk. So he tells terrible tales of
the weather OF course. he him
self may have passed through the
summer IN perfect condition and
may have fairly wallowed in the
heat. but he doesn't mention that
II could quite probably be dem
onstrated that the players in the
Southern league are fully as
healthy as those Of any other 1t
could probably be proved that there
is no more typhoid, malaria, bolts,
melancholia or housemaids knee In
the Southern league than in any
other Statistics will doubtless
show that the death rate in the
eight Southern league cities is as
low as that In any circuit OF Amer
lea.
Yet, so long as ball players go
North and peddle lying tales of the
Southern weather and It's awful
ness in summer. the leagues of
Dixie are going to have trouble in
getting players
To remedy this condition is diff
hcult Probably the best method
Of procedure would be to deal firm
ly'with each case Of the Coleman
type and 10 force every player
bought by a Southern team to come
South or to Quit baseball for good.
This would be an expensive method
at first but when the word got
around that player bought by
Dixie club had TO play with it or
quit the game. there would be less
foolishness ANY PLAYER who came
South would soon find that the
weather was MOI as hot as ii was
painted And after awhile this
