Chicago, Sept. 10.-Showing all the
speed and curves or an Eddie Plank
and the coolness of Nap Rucker, a
young southpaw hy the name of Nei-
haus, pitching his first game in select
company, held the walloping Cubs TO

Red Corriden was responsible for
three Of the runs, while Steve Evans
error netted the fourth.
Neihaus, who by the way. was doing
all this in a St Louis uniform, gave
one of the best exhibitions of southpaw
twirling seen at the Trojan yard in
many seasons. He had everything a
good pitcher needed and only two
West Siders reached second base up

ster's fatal round, for four runs cross

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 10.-As
comeback in baseball, Harry Davis of
the Athletics certainly has all the rest
of the come-backs in whatever sport
backed off the boards. After a lapse
of 10 years, he went into one of the
Chicago games recently and caught
good ball, despite Bush's erratic work.
AS far as hitting and playing first
base are concerned, Harry is now far
better than many of the men playing
the initial sack in the major league.
He is still a terrific hitter, driving the
ball through the infield on the left
side with force which defies the
guardians of that territory.
At first base he is able to play not
only a good game, but a fast and bril-
liant one. That was demonstrated thor
oughly in the worlds series of 1911,
when, after he had been out all sea-
son, he took McI1,nis' place in the
miX-up with the Giants, doing a large
part of the work which beat the Nc,
Grawites.
Harry started his professional career
behind the bat, and was a regular
catcher with the Providence club of
the Eastern league in 1894. After
that he was shifted to various posi-.
tions, finally landing at first base with
the Athletics, where he made repu-
tation as a great fielder, heavy hitter
and clean athlete that will live as long
as the archives of baseball exist.
But to get back to Davis catching
He had never held won the job of back
stop in the american league before
that recent game at Chicago. Bush
was pitching, and he had very bad
thumb. He threw the ball in all direc
tions, yet Harry took them with the
ease and nonchalance which mark the
veteran backstop.

for a cemetery was selected on a hill
overlooking the valley.
A few days ago Kohler. now a gray
haired man, came to look after the
last resting place of his friend Hol-
man. He left here soon after Holman's
death 35 years ago.
I'VE were good friends-very good

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, July 10.
A Santa Barbara fisherman has dis
covered a new way of getting his hair
clipped. He appeared about his usual
haunts yesterday with one half Of
his head neatly shorn Of hair. He
says that the mice did it. A we'll
known fisherman vouches for the tale.
Santa Barbara Island is inhospita-
BILE and barren and contains not d
drop of fresh water. For this reason
fishing parties take a good supply IF
liquid refreshment.
Usually fishermen sleep on their
boats on account of the mice. How
ever, the fisherman in the party Of
Williams said he would sleep on
shore
This fisherman had earned the
sobriquet of Dude" owing to his habit
Of oiling his hair. 1t was this oil that
caused the involuntary haircut, for
the fishermen say that during the
Dudes" hours of slumber the mice
visited him and neatly cut the hair
close to the scalp in their relish of the
oil

NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS.

The first number of the pioneer
daily newspaper of New York City was
issued 1913 years ago to-day, under
the title of the New York Daily Adj
vertiser. It was the second daily
paper in America. The first New
York weekly publication, Bradford's
New York Gazette, made it's appear
ance sixty years before the Advertis-
er, and was followed soon after by
the Weekly Journal. The oldest gen
era1 newspaper in New York, now
being published, is the Globe and
Comm erciaI Advertiser, which dates
from 1877. The Daily Commercial
was founded in 1875. The venerable
Evening Post was born in 1901. The
beginnings of other New York news
papers are as follows: Morning Tele-
graph, 1927; The Sun, 1888. Herald,
1885; Tribune, 1871; Times, 1851;
World, 1860; Evening Telegram, 1857;
Evening Mail, formerly Mail and Elk
press, 1867; American, 1882; Press,
1887, and Evening Journal, 1895.
With the exception of the Socialist
daily, The Call, no English daily of
any importance has been started in
New York in nearly a score of years.
