Thirteen years ago a little fiery.

short for the st, Louis Cardinals. He
came to town when tho Robson
brothers transferred their Cleveland
club of stars to st. Louis. He was
Young n unknown. but promising.
He had a dash about him that SUR
prised everyone who saw him then:
he was quick as a tiger. loaped after
the Founders in all directions with
perfect accuracy. In a year St. Louis
praised him. In two years he was a
wonder.
When the Browns took the field at
Sports1nan's park against the Detroit
Tigers. a fiery. tidgety. d%ark-haired
athlete occupied the position between
the second and third sacks. The lad If
1899 and the athlete Of 1912 are the
same: yes, indeed. He is Rhody ].
Wallace.
Wallace has come hack: his hat IS
in the center of the arena and all the
shortstops of today are defied.
Jimmy Callahan startled the base
ball community when he came back
last spring: Mike Donlin caused Just
as much furore when he turned the
trick last summer. and Bob Wal

and Mike.
He is in his fifteenth year AS an in
fielder. his eighteenth as Il major
league player.
Where is the player who can boast
of Bob Wallace's record? Few. if any,
Originally he was a pitcher With the
Franklin. (Pa,) Independent team.
Some N told the Robson brothers
about Bob back in 1894. and in the

AVOIDING A IAN.

Duluth street railway company
Is advertising the yokels of that
hamlet and settlement not to
rush for the first car after a hall
game but to take the next car.
The street car magnates print
this in a eve column advertise
ment in one of the journals up
there. They say: Don't all try
to get on the first car-bv doing
this you will insure your W
comfort and at the same time
contribute to the comfort and
safety of Others"
The warning seems su%perfiuous.
The usual crowd at a Duluth
ball game could get into one
trailer and still have room for
the ball teams and the way traf-
fc along the route down town.

Baseball club is up against even more
than a losing streak. according to a
telegram received from Manager
Brown last night. The Maroon leader

is a great wonder to me that China

your rabid fans standing in line hours
before the gates open. Over there the
people camp out on the field the night

The beautiful Dogwood.

Professor Charles A. Keefer oil
Tennessee, writes In the Southern Az
riculturist as follows
Every farmer. meaning thereby all
the men and women who work on
farms, should spend an hour or two In
the woods during the dogwood time
and enjoy their beauty. The Japanese
make n holiday when the cherry trees
are in full bloom and the whole popu-
lace goes out along the cherry bord-
cred country roads to admire the beau
tiful flowers. But our dogwoods have
far more beautiful setting. No road
side tree can be so well placed to show
Its beauty as the dogwood. growing
beneath oaks and pines. making a sec
ond story throughout the forest
great sheets of white blossoms. every
bloom ding its best to turn its face up
toward the sun
To-day l have beecn out In the
woods and everywhere the dogwood
trees brighten the hillsides. There is
thick carpet of leaves on the ground.
so thick that very few spring flowers
grow through. There is very little
underground. the shade is TOO dense
for anything but the dogwood and 9TH
or shade-enduring plants. and most
plants love the sun. So there is MOTH
ing below the crowns of the high oaks
and pines and chestnuts to attract the
attention but the dogwoods."
The professor might have added that
it is a good thing for city folks as
we'll as farmers to go out in the woods
at this season of the year Just to look
upon the dogwood blossoms, and I will
add that the best place on earth to
enjoy them is in this good old State,
Tor the dogwoods bloom no where
quite SO lovely as in Old Virginia.
