CONNIE ONCE TRIED
TO LOSE BOB SHAWKEY

The story has often been told about
Connie Mack endeavoring to trade Catch
er Schang for Pitcher Paddy Green. a
Yankee recruit. but Il is not generally
known that Pitcher Bob Shawlsey was
practically forced upon the lean leader
OF the words cha mpions
Shawkey was tipped off TO Johnny
Evers, manager OF the Cubs. Manager
Dunn of Baltimore, in fact. was one who
urged Evers to buy his rlght-lla nder but
Evers bethought him that Connie Mack
had an interest in the Baltimore team
So he mused thusly:
mo manager In the country is in
greater need OF pitchers than Connie
Mack. Now. II this man Sha%key is so
good why does not Connie take him?
II Sha wkey Is not good enough for the
Athletics. don't think he is good enough
for the Cubs, I'll pass him up.
No other big league manager seemed
TO care for the Baltimore pitcher. and
finally when Mack that Shawkey
might go for the draft price OF $500 ne
decided TO pull him over to Philadel-
phia.

BRANCH RICKEY NOT
IN LOVE WITH FEDS.
Browns Manager Says Young
Players Are Foolish for
Jumping.

Branch Hickey, manager OF the Browns,
says that he Ia not In the least worried
about any OF his ball players having
signed contracts with the Federal
league. and. he added, neither is Mr..
Hedges worrying over the matter. Fact
OF the matter is, Branch Hickey does not
think very well OF the Federal league
and he fails TO understand why any
young man of ability would care to take
chance Of jumping to the baby baseball
organization. In speaking OF the Federal
league Hickey ripped off nunberless rea-
sons why any youth possessing brains
and mechanical ability to play the game
should allow himself to be inveigled into
signing q contract with the Federals.
AS every one knows. Hickey Is recelv-
Ing pay from a major league club owner.
That alone puts him on the other side OF
the fence when It comes to arguing the
Federal league question. Second Hickey
says the national commission will
not tolerate The Federals II the lat
ter become friendly with any OF the ma
jor league players and invite them to
play ball. Hickey says that every player
with any sense should know better than
to get into trouble with the national
commission. Besides all this. Hickey
gives various other reasons why major
lee que players should think twice before
they leap into the Federals, Says
Hickey:

Famous Long Run.

Other football records which have been
reported az broken this season include
the long field run and high score, but in
neither case do the 1913 performances
rank with those Of other games. The
longest run OF football fs credited to Wal
ter Eekersall OF the University of Chi
cago team, who ran 100 yards In the
game of 1904 against Wisconsin. Ecker
sail caught the ball on a kickoT and ran
from virtually his own goal line across
Wisconsin's at the other end Of the field,
flight The record run from scrimmage
is held by II. M. Coleman OF Wisconsin,
who picked up the ball on tumble In
the Minnesota game Of 1891 and ran 105
yards for a touchdown
There have been TN unusual number OF
big scores rolled up during the 1918 sea-

asserted to be records. Evansville, Ind,

TRIBUTES TO PERRY.

Next after Paul Jones stands Oliver
Hazard Perry. Jones brought the
American Revolution home to Eng
land. Perry drove England back be-
aind the barbados of her New France.
The fight off Scarborough Head in the
North Sea told the world that If Eng
land was the mistress of the sea,
America was master The fight Off
Putin Bay rescued the territory con-
ouered by George Rogers Clark and
wiped out the disgrace of HulPs sur
render. Jones laid the cloth for the
French alliance. Perry cleared the
way for Harrison's advance and short
ened the distance between Bladens
burg and the Treaty of Client. But.
above all, it was Perry, like Jones, who
gave the world assurance of man, of
an American and of America, the re-
sistless, the unconquerable; of the

Hicks and Cows

Up in Wisconsin there is an ele-
CANT little town called Prentice, and
seldom has a town had harder luck.
1t had tannery and some sawmills,
but they went the way of all tenn
porary things, and the town was in
bad way Some said that it was going
to the nitiOn-bOw-wows, what
ever that may be, but Hicks said
cows. He began saying COWS several
years ago and not a day passed with
out lecture on cows. There wasn't
enough cleared land; there wasn't
enough cows for creamery-so
Hicks started campaign for more
cleared land-went at it himself and
showed that clearing land paid the
first year. Others took the hint.
Then there were COWS and a cream
cry, but the cows didn't suit Hicks
only the best were good enough
hence breeding association. When
anyone wanted to quarrel with Hicks
about breeds he got them to organ
ize one of their own, SO now they
have several in the county.
On June 26th there was held at
Prentice a field day meeting of the
Price county Holstein- Fresia an Breed
ing association, and noted dairymen
from all parts of the state We're
there-all because Lawyer Hicks
couldn't forget about good COWS. Of
course there were others at Prem
tice who from the first appreciated
the matter of cows, but this incident
shows what persistence will do. And

A T the inception of the Perry's
~ Victory Centennial enterprise,
~ the commissioners of the sew
eral states proposed that a
permanent memorial, overlooking the
scene of the battle of Lake Erie,
should be their essential purpose in
achieving the objects for which they
were appointed Every suggestion of
history and sentiment pointed to Put
Inlay Island, Lake Erie, as the logical
site.
1t consists of a reservation of about
fourteen acres in extent, with some
fourteen hundred feet of water front
ON both sides, situated in the narrow
neck of land at Put-in-Bay Island. 1t
overlooks the waters of Lake Erie
toward West Sister Island, whence
Commodore Perry sent his famous
message to General Harrison.
On the shore of the bay, not far
from the memorial site, are the graves
of American and British officers killed

proposed that their remains shall be
diSinterred and find final resting
places within the crypt of the me-
mortal.
The accepted design of the Perry
memorial was secured through an
architectural competition conducted
under the rules of the American Insti-
tute of Architects and decided by the
National Commission of the Fine Arts.
The monument, when completed as
designed, will cover, with it's plaza,
almost all of the reservation dedicated
as park to the memorial. The plaza,
rising in a gradual ascent from the
waters edge to the level height of II
feet, is 1853 feet long and 461 feet

-HERE have been few cOmbats on
land or sea more tremendous in
their consequences than the bat
tie of Lake Erie. The heroism
displayed on both sides of that engage
ment indicated the quality of personal
bravery in both combatants and re-
guires no eulogy here.
Commodore Perry had accom-
plished, with the aid of his Rhode Is
land craftsmen, the extraordinary feat
of building his fleet from the freshly
hewn timbers of the forests around
Pressure Isle (now Erie), Pennsyl-
vania, and of launching his vessels in
the face of a British blockade. The
naval supremacy of the lakes was at
stake and the issue was the greatest
TENDER 10, 1913, Perry cruised Lake
Erie in search of the enemy under
command of Captain Barclay. On the
latter date the British fleet was de-
serted, as Perry's vessels lay quietly
in the harbor of Putin Bay, and at
once the daring American COHHldHuef
sailed forth to give battle.
The brief but glorious story of the
conflict that ensued is known to every
schoolboy. The Americans had the
advantage in the number of their YES
sells, and in broadside weight of metal;
the British, in the number and carry
ing power of their guns and slight
numerical superiority of se&men and
