aren't idle either. Lovely large two

recruits are sent back to the papers
to be printed for the perusal of the
fan. Each and every morning the

the players get a chance to timber

FEDERAL LEADERS
RETAIN TORONTO
In Spite of Contrary Reports
Canadian City Will Not Drop
From Circuit.
CLEVELAND AFTER BERTH
Dispatch from Toronto, However. Says
No Interest Shown There-Stsr
Signs With Feds.

Chicago. H., Feb. 9.-Magnates OF
! the Federal league had a long secret
session in Chicago Saturday, and in
spite OF reports TO the contrary. it now
looks as though Toronto will retain
its franchise in the circuit this season.
At any rate. President Gilmore of the
new league has announced that the
Canadian city will not be kicked out,
as it seems a display OF money, play
ers and necessary fighting spirit has
been shown.
All the clubs were represe nted and
the meeting was held in the directors
room at the Chicago Athletic associa-
ton. Some OF the magnates were late
in reaching the city and actual bust
ness was not attempted until late in
the afternoon.
Cleveland After Franchise.
The question Of transferring the Tor
onto franchise was the important thing
TO decide. II had been rumored the
club would be taken from Toronto and
put in New York City. Other reports
were that Cleveland would take II back.
and Cincinnati also was I'm the field 70
accept the franchise. Fred Bramley
OF Cleveland was on hand to take the
Toronto franchise II such thing were
possible. II was not learned IL any
New York men were present.
President WeeEhman OF Chicago OPP
posed the plan TO keep the club in Tor
onto. and other club owners sided with
him. President Gilmore declared the
Canadians had plenty OF money. had a
site for a park. and had lot of big
players and would be ready 10 go TO
the post when the season opens in
April.
Toronto Not Hopeful.
on the other hand a dispatch sent
out today from Toronto indicates that
the project Is not looked upon favor
ably by the Canadians. Following is
the message:
Toronto. Ont. Feb. 9.-Baseball men
today expressed doubt that a Federal .
league club will be placed in Toronto. /
There is little local money to back .
such an enterprise. they say. No suit 4
able grounds are available II tSe

ronto in fits circuit the local club
probably will be financed from out
side
Bob Groom Signs Up.
ST. Louis. Feb. Bob Groom. the
pitcher OF the Washing
ton American League club. has signed
with the ST. Louis Federals. This an
nouncement was made by Groom to
1ne OF his friends. Groom's home IS
IN BelleviIle. Ill. and he is a student
It n St Louis medical school.
Preference for playing near his
nome town and the financial induce
nents offered him by Manager Nor
LEGAL Brown are the reasons advanced
~ Groom Tor his jump from the or
,anized fold. He signed for three
ears.
The addition OF Groom makes the =
fifth major league pitcher on the local I
federal league reserve list. Edgar ;
NilIett OF Detroit IS one. Another is
.Iordecai Brown himself. who was
,ood enough last season to win IL
-ames and lost u. in spite of the Gin
innati Reds. Who the other men on
Brownies roster are Is a matter for
onjecture.

Chance at Title.
AUGUSTANA MAY PLAY
Furious Game Staged at High School
Gymnasium Before Largest
Crowd of Season.

The Rock Island Socials are now out
OF the running for the tri-city basket
ball title. owing TO their defeat Satur-
day night at the hands of the fast
Davenport Y. ". c. a. team at the
local high school gymnasium. The
two teams have played once before
and il the Socials had won Saturday
they would have had a good chance at
the title. The score of the contest
ended 80 to 80 in favor of the associa-
ton quintet. and the play was furious
and rough throughout. A large crowd
of fans attended.
The team work of the visitors
proved superior and the local five was
unable 10 surmount the fast and well
drilled machine which took the floor
under the training of Coach and Ply
steal Director Johnson. Time and
again Davenport threw baskets after
working the ball all about the floor in
some OF the cleverest passing one
would care to witness at a basketball
game.
At no time was the result in doubt
and only toward the last few moments
OF play were the Socials able to make
any kind of a showing against the
team from across the water.

If you want to live in the kind Of a town like the kind of a town you like, you needn't slip your clothes in a grip and start on a long, long hike. You'n find what you left behind, for there's noth- ing that's really neew. It's a knock at yourself when you knock your town. It isn't your town it's you!

from once a day to once a week, according to their state, and with the help of the ether members of that family, food taken or sent to selected cases of SICK, continued in few instances to three months, to some sick one in hovel. No one Is known to the writer to have ob- ! served a like practice except the baker, Mir. Draysr. who did it in several remembered cases, giving the sick ones lodging food.
 Some results of beautitudinal do- ings by those two sisters are yet visible. During two winters the two sisters, with the help of W. B. stout, rehearsed weekly Pente- Costal hymns Nos. l and until its 4S6 had been played and sung with all the natives who could be induc- ed to attend. Leslie sacred Choir was also practiced in like manner with a selected choir of natives; all So some other song books were used in like manner for special oc- casions.
 Most of the yourg men now in the Haines band received the ma Jor part of their drill in reading music, also some of the Klukwan youths shared the same benefit. Specifically susie Shottridge, as q soprano, and her husband Louis, as tenor singer, are instanced as having derived stheir confidence, freedom, and breadth from the prac- tice of those years that enabled them to visit as singers, actors and proHcjent in other ways, Chica"o' Philadelphia and New York,
 Mrs. susie Shott"idge when she learned Miss Macintosh had not applied for the school and had giv- en up her church work with eX- pectations of leaving Haines, shed tears and said "We, too, will leave if you go," and saa did, nor has she returned in six years.
 The natives yet occasionally say they have not had teacher like Miss Macintosh. The best Of the white people here describe her as noble woman. Her life in every department of work was consistent, upright and kind.
 s On leaving Alaska in 1908, she married a man in seattle who had waited for~;hers >return; nine years. They moved to Yakima valley near Mabton, Wash, on theirtown ranch. Four years afterwards. they leased the ranch aad.S moEed$ Ito. Prosser, where they owned houses.

A NOTABLE WOMAN PROMOTED

Mrs. Mary Laak. who died in Tucson, Arizona, In the latter part Of November, 1914, was, before her marriage, a teacher in the na- tive school at Hafues. Alaska, where by her kindly and loyaols disposi- ton she made hosts of warm friends during her stay, and where she still has relatives living to mourn her untimely demise.
 The following touching tribute to her memory is from ths pen of one who knew her well and was q warm admirer of her many vir- tues:-Ed)
 Mary, kaowR as May, MaeKintosh who came to HaiHeS, Alaska in the summer of 1899, and made the trip north westward as far as Dalton s post; thence returned to Haines and engaged to teach the native school, which teaching was continu- cd by her or her sister for eight years.
 Being Of a sympathetic disposition as shown by her engaging, when 12 years old, with the sister next older thaR she, to drill and conduct an exhibition in their home village school after the close Of that school, because the exhibition given under the direction of their teach CT had not seemed satisfactory to the school, nor up to the standard Of previous years: herself having beeR a Sunday school and church goer all her life, from the time she could walk there.
 From the beginning of her school teaching she was interested in all church affairs. entering them with spirit, eaTnestness. devotion and sincerity. She had become a mem Der of the first Presbyterian church at Cineinpati, Ohio, when taking a business course lu that city, and was a singer in the church choir, brought her letter thence to the Seattle First Presbyterian church on coming west in 1893. %
 Church work seemed natural and a pleasure to her: having commit ted most, if not all. of the West minister shorter catechism during her school days, commended 1t and privileged her classes in day and church schools 10 recite it before her.
 There being neither drug store nor physician at HaInes, nor within immediate reach In those days, Miss Macintosh was verify for the natives not only 'sacher, but nurse and physician, also eiothier for some children and women; coHse- quently she brought more wealth to Alaska than she carried away.
 During each Of thoss years there wintered at Haines S5e 10 4SO5 na- tive Alasksns, and ths homes of all th6se were visited from once a week 10 once a month, according to health and their church and school attendance. The kt;k were called or
