The Woodmen

The Modern " oodmen OF America
are holding their regular biennial scs-
sion AZ Toledo this week and the ses.
sion is very stormy one because Of
the quarrel over the rate raise which
was carried at tho session of the head
camp two years ago bat which was set
aside by the course in some states and
finally lead to the declaring of Of the
rates by the head camp officers
There are two factions in the Modern
Woodmen. One faction is called the
regulars and supports the regular oflic-
ers in their attempt to raise the rates
The other faction IL called the insur.
gents and includes those who opposed
raise
The ineurgeut forces come mainly
from the western states and contest.
ing delegations further complicate the
affair until IL has all the qualities Of
Dounybrook taIr and from press re-
ports IL is evident that some Ut the
fair stunts we're pulled of on the no0r
Of the convention.
The big tight is over the selection Of
officers G W HaWes who has been
head clork for many years has refused
10 be a candidate again which leaves
that Office open for a new man. The

sidering contests most Of the week

optician Visits City

Or. Fred Gilch, an optician of more
than ordinary reputation and ability
was in Crystal Falls several days last
week. DR.. Gilch is well known 10 the
optometrists of Michigan and he visits
this section in the summer time
mostly when he can enjoy our beauti-
ful climate.
Mr.. Gilch frequently lectures on
subjects connected with his chosen
profession and is highly spoken of in
connection with the work of the De-
troit Optometry Society where he
lectured on Physician Lenses before

NO APPOINTMENTS YET
Mayor Caffney Was Unable to Make Any at
Last Mondays Meeting

The matter of appointments to city
offices remains in the air yet. Mayor
GaffneY attempted TO make some APP
pointments at last Mondays meeting
but motion 10 adjourn prevented
him so the matter stands just as it
has been since the first.
The council drilled through lot oI
routine work, principally along the
line of streets and sidewalks Much
time was taken up with proposition
TO buy some gravel from John Soder-
man. the pit being on the line between
the Maple Grove second addition and
his farm. The purohase would open
mp an alley, so Alderman Ronback
claims who has the matter in hand
The alley matter adjacent to Robert
Wilson lot was mp and Mr.. Wilson
made the city proposition 10 sell
them the necessary amount Of acreage
but the aldermen didn't seem to be
in the humor of buying Neither did
they seem to favor the placing of a
telephone in the poundmaster 8 office.
Joe Martin from the Kimbal loca-
tion was present and asked that the
waterworks be extended to his pro-
perty but on this proposition the city
fathers turned thumbs down also.
The proposition Of L. A. Henry for
some furnishings for rest room for
women on the lower and rest room
for men on the upper floor Of the new
city hall was accepted
delegation from the Eagles appear
ed before the council and asked that
they be given the opportunity TO open
the city assembly room with big ball
The matter was settled in this manner
The hremcn shall have the first chance
the aldermen the slcond and the Eagles
the third. This decision settles for all
time the question Of who shall open
the new building and seems to satisfy
all.

wallie schang. who with Johnny Lapp,
has done the receiving for the Athletics
all season. is one Of the best little back
shoppers in the game today. Though but
a kid and only three years in profess
sional baseball. he is regarded as the
equal Of any of the veterans.
Schang has caught about two-thirds OF
the Athletics games this season. and is
right on edge TO jump into his second
worlds series and make monkeys OF the
Boston Braves In the same manner he
made the Giants look foolish last fan.
Manager McGraw and his Giants went
in their last contest for the highest hon
ors with the comfortable feeling I'm their
chests that there would be little to get
ting away with Wallie Schang. They
had IL all figured out that they would
be able to run wild on the bases and show
him up, incidentally winning the big
pennant
Instead. schang did the showing up.
He pegged out Giants from every position
and broke up their double steals with
ease. Altogether his work was the SEN
sation Of the series and fitting climax
to his years work under Connie Mack
Schang is twenty-four years of age.
This II his third year as a professional
Born and raised at Wales Center, a.
small hamlet near Buffalo. he caught
three years for Ebert Hubbard's East
Aurora club. In 1911 he Joined the Pull
mans, a famous semi-pro club that holds
forth in Buffalo. His work with that
The Washington herald., 1914-10-04

club was such as to cause Buffalo fans
to urge George StaIlings, then managing
the Buffalo club, to give the youngster
a trial
Stallings rather half-heartedly agreed
He had heard town boys touted before
but he needed some one to help work out
the pitchers down in Georgia. 50 he took
the youngster along. Schang showed
enough on the training trip to warrant
his retention, but not until July did
Stallings begin to give him q chance in
the International League games II was
not long before the tip went around the
big leagues that Buffaio had a most
promising young catcher
Within a few weeks Stallings was in
receipt Of few offers. He turned them
down, hoping to save the catcher over for
the 1913 season That caused thirteen of
the sixteen big league clubs to put in
drafts for the phsnom.
Lucky Connie Mack-he drew the man
they all wanted. That is how it happens
that Schang Is the first catcher Of the
Athletics today. 'Schang y as good a
thrower as there Is in the country. He
Is timely batter. He Is as fast as the
average infielder. He can get down to
first faster than most players. and can
amble around to third with the speed Of
a Jackson or a Collins.
He is dead on foul flies. handles any
kind Of delivery with skill and knows
what to do with the ball when opposing
players are running wild on the bases.
All in all. he has not weak spot He
is the IDEAL catcher.

BOSTON BRAVES OWE
FEDS VOTE OF THANKS

Luck and the Federal League were
able assistants Of George stallings IN the
winning Of the 1914 National League
pennant. That this is true is shown in
a story involving prominent athletes in
the persons of Jack Quinn. Henry Gowdy
and Richard Rudolph.
Going back to the early part Of the
year IL will be recalled that James Gaff-
ney, president Of the Braves. became
indignant when he learned the Baltimore
Federals had signed Jack Quinn, ex-
Yankee pitcher, then star with the
Rochester club.
The more he thought about Il the
worse the deal looked. Gaffney consulted
Stallings. They agreed II was a shame.
whereupon Gaffney called In his zttor-
neys and shortly atterward came the an
nouncement that the Federal League had
been named defendant in Ses,ooo damage
suit.
Gaffney and stallings had a reason
Quinn looked Ike the best pitcher in
the international League A deal was
arranged. A couple OF athletes OF medi-
ocre ability were 20 be given In ex-
change. Dick Rudolph and Henry Gowdy
were the ynotables. Everything was ready
for the transfer when the "Feds'' cut
in 'If Rochester cannot. deliver Quinn
we viii keep Rudolph and Gowdy.s COM
plsined Geffney. Perhaps We can hnd
another market for them quoth
Stalllngs.
Finally the season got under way and
Rudolph and Gowdy remained. One fine
day business began 70 pick up. for STALL
ings & Co. Gradually came the realizs-
ton that Rudolph and Gowdy were stars
and the two were mighty prominent In
the lifting Of the Braves TO a champion
ship.
That's the story Of lucky break. And
the Question Is. where would the Braves
have finished had the original trade gone
through7
