Old b
Me,

There is a q ice that two men
who formed ttery back in the
SOS Will direct contending teams
In the 1914 wor championship. OF
course you you fellows will not
know how such ing will be pos
sible But the ,cly fans will re-
member Hank & " pitcher and
Connie Mack, cat who were team
ed on the Washin nine frequently
along about 1880 $3.50.
First of all, let i be thoroughly un-
derstood that thia story is not meant
to be a predicti4 that the Chicago
Cubs. now man4 ed by pitcher"
ODay, will meet he Athletics, direct
ed by Catcher" Jack, in the baseball
classic next October. However, today
the Cubs have a kood chance TO cap
ture the championship flag in the Ma
tional League, while the Athletics
we'll, everybody in Philadelphia knows
where they stand.
Secondly, it is pretty generally un-
derstood by those who know Mr.. Mack
that he does not boast about his
catching days. He probably was a
fair catcher, for he earned a salary
as a major league backstop. But
Connie Mack is satisfied TO allow his
record as a manager overshadow his
record as a player With Mr.. O'Day
it is different He was "some pitcher"
has the records to prove it and right
now 1t is we'll worth while to un-
earth few facts about the Chicago
managers playing days.
Started Career in 1852.
O'Day's first engagement of note
was with the Council Bluffs team back
in 1882 His first regular league en-
gagement was with the Toledo North
western league in 1888. and he re-
mained with that nine in 1884, when
it became a member Of the American
Association With Toledo, also, was
"Tony" Mullane, one of the foremost
hurlers of that day. and Hank, then
a y0ungster with ambition, watched
the veteran and copied his delivery
He became a star twirler and his
future with Toledo apeared bright.
Then, in 1885. Toledo was dropped
by the American Association and
O'Day was grabbed by the Pittsburgh
club. For some reason, he didn't
prove success with the Pirates and
shifted to Washington. There he
made good in a hurry and il was
his 13 victories in 10 starts that play
ed a prominent part in winning the
Eastern League pennant for the Sem
ators, the only baseball flag of i'm

Well Attended

An excellent program was rendered
this afternoon at the home of Mrs.
Embury, corner of Seventh and State
streets, the occasion being book re-
ception given by the Philanthropic
section of the Woman's Ten Thous-
and Club. Piano and vocal selections
by Mrs. Phil d. Swing, Miss Buelah
Carey, Inez Collier and interesting
readings by Mesdames Swanson and
Garren were very much appreciated
and received generous applause. Every
one attending the reception brought a
book, the object being to secure

afternoon.

BritOns Might Exhibit

London, Jan. 10-The question of
English participating in the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco
is to be raised in the house of COM
mons during the debate on the address
in reply to the speech from the throne
with which each parliamentary ses-
sion is started.
Sir Edward Grey, who, as head Of
the foreign office must take the re-
sponsibility for the decision of the
government not to participate in the
exhibition, has so far maintained si-
lence on the subject and the debate
will give him an opportunity to eX-
plain and defend his course.
The foreign secretary, it is said,
will dispose for once and all of the
reports that an entangling arrange
ment with Germany entered into the
question.
The official explanation of the re-
fusal of the government to take part
was due to the belief that there would
be great paucity of British exhib-
itors.

Rubber and Blood

Boston Transcript: Shall we have
to believe that all the South American
rubber, equally with the West African,
is mixed with blood? There is much
that tends to force that conclusion
upon the public mind. 1t appears that
every traveller who penetrates to the
rubber region, and returns, has tales
of slavery, torture and murder to tell.
No sooner has the system of atrocity
in the Putomayo district controlled by
Peru been exposed, and the condition
of affairs improved by means of riv-
er patrol of gunboats and wireless
telegraphy from Iquitos to Lima, than
men who have gone up other rivers
in the forest-filled valleys east of the
Andes come back with similar stories
of systematic cruelty practiced on the
natives who are enslaved as rubber
gatherers. The scenes of horror are
still among the western affluents Of
the Amazon, but they are long way
farther south, some in Brazil and the
worst in Bolivia. As the Brazilian
cases are close to the Bolivian border,
the same rubber companies seem to be
concerned in ell.

First Ship Makes
Full Canal Trip

New York, Jan. 1O-The passage of
the crane boat, Lavalley, which made
the first complete trip through the
Panama canal, was unintentional, ac-
cording to dispatches from Panama.
The Lavalley, the dispatch stated,
had been up and down through
Gatun locks since November 1 and
had recently been at work in the vi
cinity of Paradise. In course of
dredging operations she passed from
that place to Miraflores. When an
effort was made to turn her around
the chamber was found to be too mar
row and she was allowed to go to the
Pacific entrance to reverse.
The entire trip was made in the
course of a days work. Colonel
Goethals, the dispatch added, does
not consider this a first passage
through the canal. He said he could
not yet fix a date for the first steam
er to make the passage.

Date Growing is
Ably Presented

"Date Growing in the Old and New
Worlds" is the title of a book just
published by the West India Gardens,
Pasadena, at So, which is invaluable
to horticulturists and of great inter-
est to everybody. The work is from
the pen of Paul B. Popenoe, and is
bs sed on long research in all the date
growing countries and study of the
entire literature of the date.
The history of the date began with
the history of man, for when the hui
man race emerged from savagery in
the oldest portions of the world, this
fruit constituted his chief food. Mr..
Popenoe traces the history of the date
from those remote days to the pres
ent, reciting the methods of culture,
the varieties of the fruit, it's natural
enemies and the method of overcom-
ing them, the propagation of the tree,
and giving all the information which
the practical scientific grower could
desire.
The book ought to be profitable
venture, but whether it is or not, the
anthor and the publishers have per-
formed a work of immense value to an
industry which is destined to become
one of the greatest in the Southwest.

industrious Chinese Hens

Boston Advertiser: The work of the
United States Consular service is not
confined to sending word to American
manufacturers of possible markets for
their wares. In a good many cases
the Consul obtains valuable hints for
the improvement of things in this
country, by noting the way in which
they are done in some obscure quart
ers of the globe. The Consul at An
tung, China, has found out something
about the Chinese hen. The indus
trious female lays eggs which weigh
five to the pound. The American
"biddy" does not do nearly as we'll.
Some day in the near future a cargo
of these wonderful hens may be
brought over from China. If it is
decided to propagate the Chinese hen
on this side of the water, the family
which raises chickens on the tenement
house plan will be liable to snap its
fingers at the egg trust. The Chin
ese hen may restore the AmericSn
breakfast, which used to be a sub
stantial affair and is now very little
besides coffee and the by-products of
the lumber yards.

Hume Jury Do
Not Agree

The jury in the case of the People
VS.. Jesse Hume, in which the defend
ant was charged with reckless driv-
ing, after being out nearly four hours
returned last night with the an
nouncement that they could not agree
The case was tried in justice court,
Judge J. B. Hoffman of Calexico, sit
ting for Justice Mayfield. Deputy
District Attorney II. L. Welch handled
the prosecution and Attorney J. F.
Seymour, jr., the defense.
Early in December Studebaker
car, driven by Jesse Hume and Stod-
dard-Dayton, driven by Tom Morgan,
came together on Imperial avenue and
three passengers were injured. Hume
was arrested the following day by
Deputy Sheriff f. c. Kemp and de-
manded jury trial.
In summing up the arguments yes
terday Attorney Welch stated that the
future conduct of automobile drivers
on the Imperial road depended on the
findings of the jury and asked that
they find verdict against Hume. He
said that both drivers, Hume and Nor
gan, were equally guilty and that if
they convicted Hume the district at
torney's office would Immediately file
a complaint against Morgan. To this
statement Attorney Seymour took Of
fense claiming that such an attitude
on the part of the district attorneys
office was small and not in keeping
with the dignity of the office,
Welch stated in reply that it would
be useless waste of the county's
money to bring complaints for the
violation of the traffic ordinance if
the officials were unable to secure
convictions.

The Man in a Hurry

Cincinnati Enquirer: The busy man
chased a street car for three squares
because there would not be another
car along for one minute. A trolley
wire was down, and the conductor
told the busy man it would take three
minutes to fix it so the car could
start. The busy man hailed passing
taxi and paid $1.75 rather than wait
three minutes. Then he dashed into a
cafe to get drink before he went to
his office. One hour and forty minutes
later he was still arguing politics
with an absolute stranger, who had
remarked to the barkeep that Stiggs
would surely defeat Miggs for mayor.
