A WINE

On the same ship Ericsson had in
stalled large gun of his design, and
that successful weapon may quite just.
ly be said to have paved the way for
the formidable cannon with which his
wonder Monitor was equipped for her
memorable fight with the Confederate
ram and armed battery, the modified
frigate Merrimac.
Parent of Modern Dreadnaupht.
In the Monitor which Ericsson gave
us in the hour of greatest national
peril he produced more than he prob
ably then realized. For it is unques
tionably from the Monitor, with its
heavily armored sides and turrets, that
the modern dreadnaught in general
principle has evolved. The main diff
ference today lies in the fact that we
have virtually built about the essen
tails of Ericsson's Monitor, with its
battery of big guns, a higher ship
shaped structure for the purpose of
getting greater seaWorthiness and
speed and much more habitable ac
commodations for the present COM
plement of 1000 men and more.
The advent of the steel ship with us
in the early sos started us anew in
the upbuilding of our fighting fleet,
which had sadly dwindled during the
period following the Civil war. The
story of the new navy is something
with which we are all pretty familiar,
and yet it has grown in fact from the
start Fulton gave us in 1914 by the
laying of the keels of the craft he
dubbed the Demologos. Just fancy
the contrast between that strange yes
sci of 2,475 tons and a speed of four
miles and a modern dreadnaught like
the Texas of $4,000 tons and a speed
of 21 knots an hour! A hundred years
has transformed the steam fighting
ship with it's more frequently used
spread of canvas into seagoing bat
tie monster depending entirely upon
machinery and motive energy dug out
of the bowels of the earth, and yet,
withal, capable of holding her own
in the face of the toughest seas and
the worst of gales. The steam that
Fulton showed us how to use has been
turned into hundreds of auxiliary serv-
ices on shipboard today, and through
that energy electricity is generated
and the brilliancy of sunshine rivaled,
while by virtue of the same potent
force its very heat Is the agency by
which ice is furnished Jacky in the
tropics. Not only that, but this re-
frigeration makes it possible for him
to have fresh meats and vegetables
month in and month out, no matter
how far from port, where the ancient
sailorman ate "salt-horse," bareback
and beans.

MANY HURLERS TO BE TRIED
Cleveland American League Club Con,
templates Signing Between
Twenty-Five and Thirty. q

Somewhere between twenty-five and
thirty pitchers will be tried out by
the two Cleveland clubs next spring.
The Maps already have the signed con-
tracts of IA hurlers and this number
may be added to, as it is Charley
Somers' plan to adopt system tried
by Detroit and st. Louis-round up a.
big bunch Of recruit boxmen and thus
grab two or three real pitchers.
Just who some of these youngsters
are the Nap management is not telling,
despite the fact they have their sigma
lures affixed to the necessary docu-
ments. AS there are only seven pitch
ers on the Nap roster at present,
Somers must have four or five under
cover, as of the other seven, Walker
and Bagby, of the New Orleans club,
are known to have signed Cleveland
contracts for 1915.

WEAKNESS OF HONUS WAGNER
Shortstop When He Famed
With Bases Full.

Tesreau, the Big Bear Hunter from
the Ozarks, is willing to stake his rep
utation that the weakness of Hans
Wagner is spitball. Matty has often
said that the only way to have a
chance with the big Dutchman is to
pitch to him differently every time.
jeff tried this, and got Honus in tho
hole by straight one and curve.
The big Dutchman then fouled off a
couple and let one go by for ball.
With the bases full it was a tight hole
for Tesreau, and he switched to spit
ball that broke beautifully over the
heart of the plate. Wagner's vicious

RAREST FREAK IN BASEBALL
Louisville and Nashville Teams Use
But Nine Men Each In Game
One Hit Apiece Made.

Twice this season one of the rarest
possible freaks of baseball has been
recorded: box score where one team,
using only nine men, made exactly
one hit, no more, no less, for each
and every member of the nine. Louis
vile ard Nashville did it. When you
remember that few teams go through
q game with only nine men; that
team record of nine hits will usually
have two or three for some one fellow,
and none at all for a couple more, es-
pecially the battery artists; when you
consider, too, the way in which
mans one-hit chance can be removed
by passes or sacrifices, the scarcity
Of such games can be appreciated.
Any time club, with nine men In
line, gets just one hit, no more, no
Jess, for each of the nine, it's freak
IL there ever was one.

ORIGIN OF SPORTS IN EGYPT
In the Time of Greeks Football Has
Gained Some Prominence, Says
Wisconsin Professor.

Careful investigation would show
that the baseball and football games
as played today are but evolutioRs OF
games played long ago in Egypt"
said Dr.. J. G. Elsom, assistant pro-
lessor of physical education IN tbs
University of Wisconsin, In speaking
of the new course on the history of
physical education recently installed.
''Many tablets found in forgotten
ruins indicate a knowledge of the
game of baseball among the Egyp'
tians. In the time of the Greeks foot
ball had gained some prominence.
And the Greeks experienced the same
evil which the colleges of today have
to combat, that of professionalism.
Winning became mania. They would
go to any length to get successful
men. Finally it was necessary to
abolish the Olympic games by royal
edict the conditions became so bad"
Professor Elsom takes up the his
tory of ancient sports of all nations,
the sports of medieval times, and
the sports Of today, following with a
discussion of the leaders of sport and
the fathers in the different periods of
history. A great deal of his material
is in picture form and has been trans
ferred to slides for purposes of illus
tration. The course is one of the most
unique which has ever been attempted.

Bluejacket, the Indian ballplayer,
grabbed by the Feds and claimed by
the Giants, because of previous con-
tract, is real Indian, unlike Thorpe
and some others who have large per-
centage of white blood in their veins
Bluejacket was born in Oklahoma
twenty-four years ago, and his parents
were Shawnee Indians, living on the
Shawnee national reservation, near
the Cherokee reservation.
Bluejacket lived on the reservation
until he was big enough to be sent
away to school, when he went to the
National Cherokee Male seminary
where he studied four years. Then he
went back to the reservation and be-
gan farming.
But he was a natural athlete, made
q reputation in several different
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1914-09-23

branches of sport and drifted into base
ball.
Two years ago Bluejacket joined the
Keokuk, Ia, team, then pitched for
Pekin, then Bloomington, Ill. This
year American and National league
teams went after him. The Giants
claim that they have his signature on
a contract, but this is denied by the
management of the Brookfeds who
signed him up at just double the salary
offered by the Giants. The Federals
say that Bloomington sold Bluejacket
to the Giants, but that Bluejacket had
nothing to do with it, and was wise
enough to sign no papers until he fell
in with the generous Federals.
Bluejacket is big Indian. He is
six feet three inches tall and weighs
PIP pounds.
