HARRY HOOPER, RED sox
 GARDENER, 26 ON SUNDAY.

Once upon a time an English lady named Mrs. Harris emtgrated to Cal ifornia in order to escape the notoriety given her by a writer chap named her husband, Capt. Harris, the fa nous dodo-hunter, and in the course of time they had several sons. The Harris boys were a queer bunch. One of them returned an umbrella he had borrowed Another advocated the free admission of Japanese to Cali fornia, without restrictions of any kind A third son was once heard to declare that baseball umpires were honest men, gifted with unusually keen eyesight. Another publicly ad- mitted that the local newspaper was ably edited, and that he couldn't pos sibly do as we'll himself. if placed in the editorial chair. But the most re- markabIe of these California bred Harris boys was travelling salesman, whose duties carried him all over the world and yet who was never once heard to boast of the fact that he was a. Native Son of the Golden West nor brag of the climate of his native State!
 This by way of prefix to the state ment that Harry B. Hooper, the fa,- nous outfielder of the Boston World s Champions, is not related to the liar ris family. He was born in Santa Clara, Cal, twenty-six years ago come tomorrow, August 24. 1887, and he is in himself whole peramb ulating par Tor of the Native Sons of the Golden West. Whenever the Boston weather
 man pulls off a day that is especially nifty, and his team-mates comment on ! it, Hooper admits that it is all very we'll for Boston. but that out in Cali | fornia they wouldn't stand for such weather a minute.
 | Hooper began playing ball with a
 college team in Santa Clara, and in 1907 joined the Oakland club of the 1 California State League. He claimed | to be a pitcher, but the manager couldn't see it, and he was turned over lto the Sacramento team, where he played in the outer garden until the close of the 1908 season, when Boston got him In the last worlds series he shared the batting honors with Speaker and Stahl, and his stick work was a

COST OF LIVING
 DUE TO WATERING RAILROAD STOCKS

Chicago, Aug. 23-Serious criticism of the financial management of Amer tcan railroads was made, yesterday, by w. H. WheatIey, of New York. at the meeting of the American Asso- c1ation of Railway Superintendents. He attributed the so-calIed high cost of living to the watering of their stocks by railroads.
 ''The original capital for @the rail- way systems is furnished wholly by bondholders and the public" he said. The stockholders contributed prac- tical1y nothing and their equity, if any, is obscure. Bonded indebted ness of most American railroads is greatly in excess of their capital This inhation of values of railroad stocks assists in raising the prices of all the commodities transported by the roads,

 What was the "press aans"f
 From King Johns reign to that of William ". it was customary during wartime to press men by force into the army and navy in order to increase the fighting strength. Bodies of men known as press gangs, each under the command of a lieutenant, were em- powered to seize and enlist suitable men. From 1888 onward this system was chiefly employed on behalf of the navy. Often the press gang went down to some great seaport and board ed all the merchant ships lying at an chor in order to collect sailors for the royal navy. It was not unusual for the sailors of some merchant vessel just returning home after a long voy- age to be forced on board a man-of- war waiting in harbor to make up it's complement.
