Arthur Lage, candidate for back

received his early training on the corner
lots of Chicago. In 1908 he entered pro-
fessional company with the Quincy team
in Central association. He played with
Quincy until the middle of the season
when he was sold to Kewanee in the
same league and there finished out the
season. He batted .262 and fielded 1855 in

Birmingham yesterday morning and spent
the day at the Hotel Morris.
It was too cold yesterday afternoon for
the players of Philadelphia to meet the
Barons, but this afternoon, in case the
wea ther has moderated, there will occur
a game. and it is probable th.-t coombs

The Athletics will be in Birmingham on
Saturday afternoon also.

In order to find il possible one real star

the old heads to scuffle for themselves.

etios. considered by many the greatest
pilot of them all, has bunch of nromis-
ing material but he doesn't state whether
or not either one of the recruits will be
able to supplant either of his regulars.
1t is considered significant that with
the yannigans, Mack has brought Ben
der and Coombs, two of his old pitchers,
who in former years were co..sis,ercd as
good as any others in fast company.
Last season, however, neither dd good
work Both failed to approach the stand
ard to which they measured up n ne
good season of 1911. 1t may be, therefore.
that Mack was as anxious to see what
these old stars would be able to show as
well as to measure the weight of his
youngsters.
Davis Interesting Figure
1t is generally believed that had Bender
and Coombs shown form last season. the
Athletics would have won the champion
ship of the world and broken the record
of the world for the number of successive
championships. And 1t is believed this
year that the Athletics will win if The

THE COST OF A SALOON.

WEBSTER City Freeman -Tribune.1
a Dewitt, Iowa, saloonkeeper has
just agreed to pay license OF $4,000
per year for the privilege Of conducting
the only saloon in the town. Dewitt
is a place OF only 1900. Possibly the
farming community about it gives 1t
trading population or perhaps 1000.
The saoonk eeper therefore pays APP
proximtaely $500 per month for the
privilege Of quenching the thirst OF
such a small community. Possibly not
more than 500 of these 1000 people
ever patrorize the saloon. Hence for
500 customers bonus Of $4,000 per
year is given. This license. the ex-
penses of the business and the support
of the family will easily require $4,000
per year, all of which must come out
nf the profits Of the saloon. II the
owner makes no per cent profit on his
goods he must sell $4,000 worth per
wear to break even, which is better
than $50 per day for each day in the
wear the saloon can legally do business
If the saoonkeeper makes any money
for himself above his living and the
expense Of doing business he must sell
even more than that. The people OF
that comm unity would be better OF In
every way If they would take $50 every
