ANDERSON WILL COACH
TRACK MEN AT VANDY

NASHVILLE, TENN, Jan. 2O.-Bm An
derson has been chosen to coach the Com
modores' track work this spring
With Anderson behind the Vanderbilt
team this year, they will have good
chance to win the Southern Intercolle-
giate Athletic association meet which will
be held at Clemson, The material at
Vanderbilt is not wonderful However. in
past years Anderson has been able to
make winning team out of what an
other man would have made nothing
Vanderbilt win not only have represen-
tatives in the Southern Intercollegiate
Athletic association meet but it is more
man 2 {to,iM mat team will so to
with the University of Virginia
There Will be a number of the 1912
track men back this year. Besides these
old men, Wilson Collins, the football
and baseball player, viii go out for track
work. Collins was reckoned the fastest
man in the South last year on the foot
ball field, He is also fast on the track.
although he has never tried to make the
team at Vanderbilt because he has de-
voted his entire energies to baseball.
However, Collins has decided TO try for
the track team this year, which means
that Anderson will have a good sprinter
and possibly he may develop him into a
broad jumper.
Buddy Morgan, the Commodore football
center, has been training ever since foot
bail faded. He will go on the track and
try for the weight events. In this he will
be assisted by Oscar Noel, formerly a star
with the hammer, Oscar has promised
Anderson to assist him in developing the
men for the hammer throw
The loss Of Freeland and Ray Morri-
son will be felt heavily by the Commo-
dore track team. Morrison could always
be counted on to win points in any meet.
He was sure Of the broad Jump and took
part successfully in several other events.
Freeland was a good weight man. and
even II Morgan develops, Big Tn will
be missed sadly.

CHANGE IS REAL
MANAGER, SAYS
ZIMMERMAN
By Harry CHASER.

EW YORK, Jan. 20.-Having
" had the opinions of mag
mates and managers on the
acquisition of Frank Chance, it may
not be amiss to hear what one of
the Cub players thinks of the deal,
especially when that player is a
Gothamite and premier batsman of
the, league as well. Heine Zim-
norman, who, if 1t were left solely
to his choice, would pastime with
the Giants instead of the Cubs, be-
cause he is a native of the Bronx,
is still in our midst, where he So

Chance will be the same rip-snort
ing hero in a Yankee uniform that
he was when he sported Chicago
toys.
Says the champion slugger, whose
allegiance is with the Cubs, while
at heart New Yorker: Chance
is a man who would be a success
anywhere. That's why l think he
will have no trouble in reorganiz-
ing the Yankees and putting them
back In the race.
His Word is Law"
Chance may be considered a
hard taskmaster by some, but he
never makes any unreasonable de-
mands from his players. He knows
the game thoroughly, and it does
not require him long to convince
those in his charge of this fact He
Is boss on the field, and his word
Is law AS long as a player fol-
lows his directions he will find the
Peerless Leader an excellent chief
one who commands respect without
demanding it,
Il do not think that Chance will
find 1t difficult to pull the Yankees
up with the leaders. They seem to
possess enough first class stars
around which to build a good team,
and Chance looks to be the right
man to handle the job.
Cubs Respected Chance.
He always had the good will and
respect of the Cubs. and | think
without exception, every man on
the team was sorry to see him go.
If he is as well as the reports give
him credit for being, | believe he
could get back in the game and
make some of the youngsters perk
up in playing first base.
"Of this, however, l am not in a
position to speak. for | have not

HORSE FELL INTO A TREE
Awaiting Aid, the Animal ri,..,..
Ciutehed the Trunk With His
Rear Hoofs.

Visitors to Ferry Bar wera r,r.,
surprised the other morning 10 ssa .
morse up among the branches of
tree. The animal had gotten IN lie
uncomfortable position by fa ling ton
feet from bank that overstopned tba
tree. The tree probably saved the
horses life.
The accident occurred while the
morse was grazing in pasture in the
rear OF the Baltimore Motor club at
Ferry Bar. John McMahon. SIT West

eonVulsive rustling in the tree near.
BY. Looking up he was startled to
see four hoofs jutting through the
leaves and swinging madly back and
tortn. A moment later the hoofs be-
came still and the horse wrapped the
rear ones around the tree, clutching
desperately to prevent a further fall.
A call was sent to the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
and an ambulance was hurried to the
scene. Blocks and tackle were fast
sned to tree stump on top of the hill
and leather belts were wrapped about
the horse. When the work of hitching
the belts was completed it was found
that the animal could not be rescued
until several Of the limbs of the tree
were cut off. This took considerable
time, during which the horse rested
and watched the work of the score or
more Of men who were trying to re-
lease him. With the removal of the
last limb the horse was slowly drawn
to the top Of the bank from which he
had fallen. A close examination re,

SLAVERY OF COLONIAL DAYS
Mere Than Half a Million Whites
Were Held in Bondage During
That Period.

Could we draw the curtain which
couceals the life of prehistoric people,
we should see that the servant prob
lem is as old as the human race. In
deed, if it we're possible for extremes
to meet, cave-dwellers and denizens of
twentieth century sky-scrapers would
doubtless converse alphabetically on
this never-ending problem. Its exist
ence is due to the universal desire of
man to use the strength of others for
his own profit and pleasure-an un-
changeable trait of human nature.
During the colonial period of our
history, service was performed in the
main by two classes-the negro slave
and the indentured' white servant,
writes Prof. Marcus w. Jernegan in
Harper's Magazine. The white serv-
ant, a semi-slave, was more important
in the seventh century than even the
negro slave, in respect to both num-
bers and economic significance. Per
haps the most pressing of the early
needs of the colonists was for a GER
tain and adequate supply of labor. 1t
was the white servants who supplied
this demand and made possible rap
id economic development, particularly
of the middle and southern colonies.
In 1858 there were 10000 of these
semi-slaves in Virginia, composing
about one-sixth of the population,
while nearly two-thirds of the immi-
grants to Pennsylvania during the
eighteenth century were white serv-
ants. Every other colony made great
er or less use of them, and it is likely
that more. than half million persons
were of this class during the colonial
period.

A baboon which escaped from a

did you ever know that the bull

words, cannibal?" said Nick Gilbert,
one Of the operators at the electrical
bureau. 81 never did until several
years ago, when It was demonstrated
almost before my very eyes. l have
been interested in fish culture for
years and have made a study of their
habits. SO that could study them at
closer range, built big aquarium in
my yard, one that held $50 gallons,
and along with fine collection Of fish
stocked it with seven fine big bull
frogs.
The sparrows used to drink water
from the edge Of the aquarium and
this day, while my wife was looking
on, one of the frogs leaped up, caught
the sparrow and took it beneath the
water. l could hardly believe that a
frog would attack and vanquish such
a fighter as the English sparrow is
known to be, so in the interest of sci
nee I emptied the aquarium, and
sure enough, down in the bottom was
The sparrow. The frog had taken him
down below, but either could not swal-
low him or else did not have the time.
following that began to miss some
valuable Japanese fantails, and, after
removing all the frogs but one, waited
until l missed another fish, when l

fish had been stolen by cats. The bull
rug is aggressive and can take his
