EVANS IS WISE NOW.
Always Wants Order Repeated So He
 Won't Make Anoth Mistake.

Rube Evans, minor league left handler, last given address New Or leans, has one curious habit-a trait which has aroused much wonder on the part of every manager under whom the southpaW has been toiling. When given an order by his manager or cap- tain, MT. Evans always stops, cocks his ears, and demands a repetion of the directions. Naturally, he is at first taken for a simp, or bonehead, but when further acquaintance with him shows that he is gentleman of intelli- gence and high mentality, the field leaders are muchly puzzled. Not long ago. when Charles Frank, the New Orleans boss, had Evans demand du- plication of a very simple order. Frank wanted an explanation, and after the game Evans told his story.
 T always want my orders repeated, quoth Evans, 50 that I will never again make such an error as marked my first professional game. It was at McKeesport, and my first manager, named Collins. was responsii,1~. In this initial game I was getting along till the ninth, when the enemy got a runner on third, with one down. Col lins ran up to me, and hissed impress sively: Rube, FVe copped their sig nal for a squeeze play. There's only one way to break that up. Bean the geezer-bean him and don't miss him! No run can score when a guy IS beaned. so go to it and don't fail!'

PLANS FOR ROGUE TOURNAMENT
Chairman Robinson of Finance Committee Comes Here ..a to Plan Campaign with Secretary William E. Perry
 Courts Being Put in Shape-Charles G. Williams is Coming Sure se

ed against returning to Norwich this summer for the national champion ship games but this has been re- moved and the officers are planning to direct effort; toward having a bigger and more enthusiastic tournament here this year. If the, proper support is not given this year it is said to be almost certain that the tournament will at last go elsewhere. The plans for music. nightly during the week of play and for other features that will bring people to see. and take an in terest in a game that many people throughout the country find worth while.
 For instance, Secretary Perry re- ceived a letter Wednesday from J. s. association showing the hold the game is getting in the Middle West. MT. Netherton writes in part:
 July 20. 1913. MT. William E. Perry,
 Norwich, Conn.
 Dear Sir: The notice of the Annual Tournament of the National Roque association, Sto be held in Norwich August 18th, came duly to hand.
 Ido not thing that any member of our association is planning an East ern trip this summer however. that is not saying that we would not like to have a representative in Norwich dur ing the comning tournament. If matters work out as we expect them to we will perhaps send a player to your city next year for we are con- &eited enough to think that we have players capable of contending with the best of roquers.
 Our city association. was just organ ized this last spring with charter membership of fourteen players and since have added five making a total membership of nineteen. We have about six players that are Glass A" and the balance are fair players. We are now in the midst of a schedule that will run through the summer and the winner will be presented with a Silver loving cup appropriate to the game by the A. G. Spaulding Sport Ing Goods house. Our city dailys are giving us space on their sporting pages and much interest is being creat- ed in the game.
 ] If there is any revision in the rules at your oming meeting please advised of same.
 Wishing you a successful tourna- ment, 1 am,
 Yours very truly,

 w l.. Robinson of Mansfield, Mass, chairman of the finance committee, was here this week for conference with Secretary Perry and a tentative plan of campaign was mapped out to are to be sold and other details to be announced later. Champion Ed ward Clark was also in Norwich this week, coming down with his brother Harold from Springfield by motorcy- Gle and while they were uncertain about getting into the championship play this year, the champion has chai- ienged for the Van Wiclxle medal and expects to play these games at least.
 Charles c. Williams of Washington, one of the veterans in the game. and a familiar face on the Norwich courts for a dozen years. is coming again this year, full of fighting enthusiasm. MT. Williams writes Secretary Perry that he expects to get here on Wednesday evening, August 20.
 President l.. c. Williamson also of Washington. is exchanging corres- pondence with the local secretary in regards to preparations for the week of August 18th.

lowing statement from the Hartford Times, printed as an introduction to the extracts
 One thing is certain--the press of Connecticut believes John F.. Gunshan- an has done good service as a tubercu- losis commissioner during the four years of his term. From every part of the state comes commendation of him and regret that Governor Bald win has seen fit to supplant him.
 In addition to the extracts from the newspapers, there Is printed a state ment giving names of prominent citi- zens of the state who recommended MT. Gunshanan for reappointment. They include gentlemen whose rec ommendation is always entitled to consideration and which is not prompted by a mere desire to be courteous and obliging. Among the names printed in the pamphlet are those of Charles E. Gross, Lewis Sperry, Colonel c. L. F. Robinson. Colonel George Pope, Dr. George F. c. Williams, John H. Holcombe, Charles D. Rice, Charles B. Whittle sey. Charles E. Chase, Colonel Charles M Jarvis, Colonel Francis T. Max well. former Mayor John P. Elton of Waterbury, and others. It would be hard to find a more representative list of names than those which are printed in the pamphlet. They show that there was a sincere desire on the part of the people of the state for the reappointment of MT. Gun shanan.
 Next week there will be a reception given to MT. Gunshanan in Hartford by the working people of that city. It will be an expression of their appre- citation of the work which Mir. Gun shanan has done in their behalf.
