Discovery Of ooidaat the South Pole

At the north pole the question OF

The antarctic continent is indeed

there would be easily possible, and it
would take nothing more than the
finding of gold among those desoiate
mountains to hurry rush of eager
treasure seekers to them. That the
gold is there is far from improbable
.she antarctic mountain range is an
evident continuation of the Andes, and
scattered along every known part of
that great chain of volcanoes are de-
posits of the precious metals. The
presence of gold in Tierra del Fuego
warrants the expectation that it exists
on the other side Of what is, after all,
rather strait than an ocean.

That not long ago was considered

Pitcher Dernaree OF Mobile, who will
report to the Giants when the south
ern league season closes, has been
pitching great ball, and If he lives up
to his reputation may prove to be one
Of the finds of the year.
The so called inside baseball play
ing is all right and results in many
successful plays on the diamond.
Strong and consistent playing, how
ever, is the mainstay of any club.
When Il player approaches the plate
the uppermost thought in the minds of
spectators is. "Will he hit the ball?"
If the ball is struck and hit safely the
spectators are happy. Hitting the ball
safely is the most interesting feature
of the game. 80
1t is noticeable this season that the
players are hitting the ball well. They
seem to have made up their minds
that free and easy hitting is prefera-
Bile to bunting. This free hitting
makes the games more exciting. To
be sure, it may mean larger score,
but that is not to be deplored. When
/ there is free hitting there are more
chances for brilliant catching, skillful
| fielding and fast running. The scene
is more animated and fascinating

Editor Chieftain: Vinita has seldom
had as many visitors as were here on
last Saturday. It is matter of pride
to Vinitans the high degree of order
maintained throughout the day and
night by our city police.
They did it so easily, so unobtrusive-
ly, with so little show of egoism that
the general public were hardly aware
of their presence. And yet they were
so everlasting omnipresent that those
criminally inclined were simply over
awed.
To those who had ever been respons-
ible for the maintenance of good order
it was treat to feel and realize the
high degree of efficiency of this coterie
of officials. CAPT. G. S. WHITE.
