At thirty-four John Purroy Mitchell
has taken up his duties at the head of
the government Of New York CITY.
where even more arduous duties than
those which he would have to handle
were he head of a corporation Of equal
size confrontsh him. With the taking Of
Office on JAN, l he realized the distinc-
ton Of being the youngest man ever
to have been elevated to the highest
Office in the gift Of the people Of the
great city.
Al Reform Movement.
The fusion victory in November puts
Mitchels incumbency in the light Of a
reform movement. 1t was fathered by
a committee Of 1O7 representative cit
liens and raised on food furnished by
the Sulzer Impeachment. The subse-
quent exposures OF graft and dictator
ship which were laid bare by John A.
Hennessy, special Investigator under
the Sulzer regime, sent the Tammany
ticket to the worst defeat it has suf-
fered in years.
TO relieve the city Of unnecessary
expenditure, to %reorganize it's govern
ment and satisfy its people has been
the task this youthful mayor has set
for himself.

than did many Of his predecessors. AS

A Municipal Expert.
Many more problems. each big in

mayor Of thirty-four. A remarkable

politically little was known Of him.
His activities as commissioner of ac-
counts Of New York gave him his first
big boost, and he became president of
the board Of aldermen foul years ago.
In that position he showed marked in
Woodrow Wilson to the presidency the
cOllectorship OF the port Of New York
was offered to him. He held the offer
in allegiance for some time before he
accepted.
Few know more about the detail Of
municipal government than John pur-
roy Mitchell. The close, exhaustive
study Of that detail has been his work
for years. The mastery of it is his
delight. '1e g that neyv thing in mu-
nicipal history in America-a munich

His youth accounts. in part, for the
tremendous enthusiasm and vitality
with which he has handled every task
that has come to his hand.
When he was made commissioner OF
accounts he was the youngest nan
eyer appointed to that Office. He was
the Youngest man ever elected to the
presidency Of the board Of aldermen.
He was the Youngest man who ever
ruled New York as acting mayor. He
wa the youngest man ever called into
the federal service as collector Of the
port Of New York md now the young

Mitchell Is Of fighting Irish stock.
The love OF n good scrap is part OF his
Inheritance. His grandfather was
John Mitchell, the Irish patriot and
n Of the fiery leaders Of the Young
Ireland movement.

1t remains TO be said that the mayor
is married. lie was married in 1909 to
. Alice Child. the daughter OF Franklin

Mitchell, the t~ireless worker. is told the
time OF his marriage is recalled.

ORE hOnors have been discov-
cred for J. Franklin Baker Of
"llOme run" fame. 1t devel-
ops that J. Franklin is the
only athlete who has been for three
seasons a member of the "World's
Series Society OF Three Hundred Hit
ters.' The man who put Trappe. Md.
on the baseball map also is the only
player who has annually hit harder in
the baseball classic than he has in the
regular season.
"Chief' Meyers of the Giants had Il
chance to secure the same honor as
Baker poSsesSeS-of being Il 800 hitter
III three worlds series-until his hand
was damaged prior to the start Of the
second game for the championship of
the world last year. McGraw's Indian
batted BOO in the contests with the
Athletics in 1911 and s. in the games
with the Red Sox in 1912. His per-
centage in the II game he played last
year was underneath the charmed fig
ure.
Other players who have batted 800
or better in W. worlds series are. be-
sides Meyers. Frank Chance. Frank
Schultz. Johnny Evers. Artie Hoffman.
Danny Murphy. Jack Barry and Eddie
Collins. Collins and Baker are the
only two men who have hit over 400
twice. The Columbia graduate had Il
percentage Of 400 in 1910 and of .4o1
last year. Bakers 1910 figures were
400. and his stick output last year was
.45O.
ROllie Zeider Of the Yankees has q
lot OF critics. One man who has faith
in him is Ty Cobb. and surely Tyrus
must know. "In Zeider.' says the
Georgia Peach" "Chance has n valua-
Bile man. He a play any position in
the infeld and play it we'll. There's
where he becomes valuable. Last year
he was handicapped by his bad foot
and was unable to play up to his usual
