WHITE HOUSE REPAIRS
INTEREST PRESIDENT
MIR. Wilson Thoroughly Inspeets In
proyements in His Domestic
Establishment.
ADDITIONAL ROOMS PROVIDED

President Wilson displayed interest
yesterday In the improvements being
made in his domestic establishment at
the White House. Soon after his return
from Cornish, n. H.. he made a tour Of
inspection of his official residence to find
out what progress had been made on the
extraordinary improvements for which
Congress has appropriated $4,000.
The President found that the work Of
renOvating the big East Room practical
ly was completed. The white and gold
decorations have been renewed and giant
crystal chandeliers frightened. The hall
of the first story of the White House
also had been renovated.
The improvements however. in which
the President and his family most acute
ly are interested were in the attic" of
the White House. where five bedrooms
for guests Of the family are being in
stalled. The present number of bedrooms
on the second floor now accessible to
the President and his family is regarded
as sadly inadequate. The Misses Wilson
have found themselves unable to enter
tain as many OF their friends as house
guests as they wished.
This is the third consecutive admins
tration i'm which IT has been necessary
to increase the number of guest living
rooms at the White House.
President Roosevelt. when he was in
augurated. found only seven private
rooms for himself and his family of six
He had. the executive offices removed
from the White House to an adjacent
building, which was speedily construct
ed for them. President Taft also found
IL necessary TO have additions made to
the establishment.

Sox Pay a Fancy Price for
OuffieIder

+ CHICAGO, July 15.--Outfielder Larry
ChapelIe, purchased yesterday by the
Chicago Americans from the Milwaukee
club of the American association. for
a ca sh consideration said to be SIS, 900,
and two players. win make his first
appearance in a major league uniform
tomorrow afternoon. He Will. be
placed in left field and Ping Bodie will
be shifted to center.
The principal weakness on the White
Sox this year is in the outfield. For
several reasons President Comiskey
has been searching for a hard hitting
and fast outfielder and when Chappelle
came to the front this year he decided
to secure him: at any cost. With one
exception the price paid for Chappelle
is the highest ever given for. ball
player
The largest sum Of money ever given
for player was the s22, 500 paid by
Pittsburg for Pitcher Marty O'Toole
late in the season of 1911. Outfielder
Johnny Beall and the catcher yet to
be named. who were traded for Chap
pelle in addition to the reported $4,000
consideration, will bring the total given
for the youngster close to the record
price.
Chappelle is 81 years old, of French
parentage and his home is at Nc
Closkey. ILL., His first professional en-
gagement was with the Eau Claire,
Wis. team in 1911. The Wisconsin,
Minnesota league disbanded after that
season. and Chappelle was without a
job His release was purchased by the
Milwaukee club for $3.50. At the close
of last season Cleveland offered $4,000
for him.
In 81 games this year Chappelle has
batted 1856.
