Icelandic settlers have played no
small part in the progress and pros
perity of the province of Manitoba;
Canada. The Icelander has set the
pace for all the incoming races. In
Winnipeg there are Icelanders worth
from 100000 to 100000. Outside
the city it is not unusual to find Ice
landers with farms of 1 200 acres, all
of which they have earned in that
country, for few of them possessed

THE PIKER

HE PIkER
BY 5erton BraIey.
They called him "piker'-perhaps
they were right,
He didn't spend much with the
gang.
On drinks and cigars he was certain
ly tight"
And to tip gave him really pang.
He never threw money around like
a prince"
Or played "the good fellow" at all;
At the club he was known as lime"
and ounce"
And the sums that he squandered
were small.
But his family had what his purse
could afford
And he shaved for his girls and his
boys. :
He'd lend to a comrade in need all his
hoard
Without any boasting or noise.
He would help any chap in the Down
and Out Club,
Though the fact wasn't blazoned to
fame,
But walters declared him a cheap
skate" and dub" b
And spendthrifts considered him /
tame"
Well, here is the moral, too potent to
miss,
And one it is wise to recall,
ga sport is sport, but a piker like
this
Is the bulliest sport of them ALP

HARRISBURG. March 10. - A
movement to make the salary limit
of the Tri-State League $1,000 per
month instead of 81, 600, as it has been
for several years, is quietly under
way. and bids fair to constitute the
principal business in addition to the
making of a schedule when the league
representatives hold their next meet :

project was sprung at the league
meeting here on Friday. and while
most of the representatives of the
clubs were favorable they preferred
to consult with folks at home before
acting.

two college pitchers, Brown and

that one of the youngsters may be
seen in a Newark uniform this sea-

tainted la Thorpe.

that he may go stale. Wyatt Lee is

soon as the boxing game got mixed
up with gambling the public would

Both Thiery, my manager, and
myself were roundly, abused, and

charge of the scales, was roughly
pushed aside by one of the fellows,
who seemed to be the ringleader. 1t
looked like nasty mess for few
minutes, but when Secretary Harvey,

commission ought to get after the

SAVANNAH. Ga, March 10.-Did
you ever hear of a star comedian who
wouldn't rather be a tragedian or a
villain, who wouldn't want to be the
leading man? It's human nature,
and it applies to every professional,
baseball included
Cy Barger, the elongated "lobber'
of the Bengal staff, has conceived a
notion in his belfry that he'd prefer
to play an infield position rather than
end his diamond career on the hurl-
ing knoll Cy's inclination is not the
result of sudden Impulse.
cy has been praised so much be-
cause of his prowess with the ashen
he has come to the conclusion that
he would be of more value to the
Tigers and to himself playing daily,
preferably, in the Tigers first de-
Tense. So he has informed Manager
Harry Smith in a letter to the Tiger
skipper. Cy is due in camp today,
and one of Smiths first efforts will
be to corner Cy and unloosen a
lengthy flow of oratory far more con-
vincing than Daniel Webster or
Henry Clay ever ripped off. Smith
has been banking on Cy as a regular
Bengal artilleryist all through the
dope" season, and he hates to have
his ideas upset. Barger is a big
league pitcher. has few equals on the
firing line in the International League
and as the club is we'll supplied with
three extra infielders and one extra
gardener, there is no necessity for Cy
attempting to develop his talent in
any direction but the heaving end
Manager Smith understands human
nature and is diplomatic enough in
his methods to put Cy back on the
right track. 1t will be no great sur
prise, however, if Cy plays third base
or one of the infield positions on the
Yannigan nine. Cy has been cavort-
ing around the infield at Columbia,
