trouble in disposing of extra ball play

office coming all the way from his cot
ton plantation in Haddock. Ga. to buy
a few men from the White Sox.
His train was nine hours late in
reaching Chicago. but he managed to
have a two hours talk with the south
side boss and catch train at night for
Detroit. having designs also on some of
Jennings hope<uls. Stallings was for
merly manager of the New York Amer
leans. and at one time played ball in
the old Western league when Callahan
was novice in that organization.

Stallings after the spring trip is over,
said Callahan last night, but couldn't

The stories of the embarrassment of
unsophistocated diners when faced by
highly sophisticated menu cards are
endless and usually amusing. A man
whose career had confined his knowl-

lay was noticeable and irritating to
the unskilled diner, and finally he

The region known as the Everglades
OF Florida is about sixty miles long by
some fifty five miles broad and is one
vast swamp. studded with islands of
from a quarter of an acre TO hundreds
of acres in extent. These islands are
generally covered with dense thickets
of shrubbery or vines and occasion
ally with lofty pines and palmettos.
The water is from one TO six feet deep,
the bottom. as rule. covered with a
growth Of rank grass. During the
rainy season. from July TO October, the
district comprised In the Everglades Is
practically impenetrable. The vege-
