 MAY PLAY HERE Effort Being Made to Bring Red Sox and Indian
 apolis TO ATHLETIC FIELD. Meyer Solms0n Says Outlook Is FrOmising-May Land Spring Training.
TO ATHLETIC FIELD.

Through the efforts of Meyer Solm- son, who returned last night from Hot Springs, where he spent several days, local lovers of the national and the Indianapolis teams play on the new High School athletic field within the next ten days. The Red SoX will likely divide it's men and play an exhibition game here, while the Indianapolis team will probably oppose a crack local team that will be gotten together as soon as possi- ble to meet McGill's men.
 q was presented to James C. Me Gill, owner of the Indianapolis and Denver teams by Judge w. M. Kava- naugh, president of the Southern League" said MT. Solmson last night "and also had long talk with Barney Dreyfus, owner of the Pitts burgh Pirates, after a similar intro duction. MT. McGill is a nephew o. the late Pittsburgh Phil, and is one of the most progressive and wealthy of the big league magnates. He as sured me that he would be able to give Pine Bluff an exhibition game during the visit of his men to the Valley of Vapors. Tim Murnane, the of thn ROCt Globe, told me to arrange a date here for the exhibition game before April i. as the Red Sox are to go back East on that day l hope to complete ar rangements for the game immediate ly".
 MT. Solmson asked Mr. Dreyius il it would be possible for him to bring the Pirates to Pine Bluff next season for their Spring training. He eX- plained the modern conveniences tha will be offered at the new Athletic Field here and told him that the loca hotels and the citizens of this city would offer him unusual inducements to come here ill 1915 with his men MT. Dreyfus said that the Pirates seemed to be a fixture at Hot Springs and that he had learned by eXperi, ence that his men were given more benefit from the waters at the Springs than at any other place Sney could go to for their spring work He said that the healing waters al the Spa relieve the men immediatel. of their soreness during Spring prac tice. He would not think of Soln; to any other training ground, MT Dreyfus said. In conversation witt Mayor Bloom, Mir. Dreyfus said tha he had many old friends in Pine Bluf and that he would most certainly pa. Pine Bluff brief visit next season MT. Dreyfus said that he would llk to come here during his present sta in Arkansas but that he had so mucl business to attend to there that h. would find it impossible to get owe here at this time. Mir.

Col. coErHALs As y BOOSTER.

q.
The really "big" man, the successful
executive and administrator, parcels
out the work to his assistants. gives
them supremacy in their respective
fields, and backs them up; when they
succeed he publicly gives them the
credit for doing the work, literally ad'
vertising them, their work, and their
capabilities.
Thus, Colonel Goethals authorized
the following statements as to one OF
the canal commissioners Colonel
Hodges: Charged with the solution OF
the most important engineering prob
lens of the canal. it can be truthfully
said of him that the canal could not
have been built without him.
And in a statement as to the value
of the services of another of the COM
missioners, Civil Engineer Rousseau,
"he has been as indispensable to me
as Colonel Hodges .-..-..
All who have been privileged to ob'
serve the organization of the force on
the isthmus and the work it has done
agree as to the loyalty, zeal, devotion
and spirit of assistants and employees.
These authorized statements give us
an idea of how this esprit-for the
lack of better general term-was
fostered.
In analyzing this policy of apprecia-
ton it is quite evident that the greater
renown attaches to the big man who is
melting out the appreciation, for it is
he who has selected these assistants,
Judged their worth, trained them, d.
rected their efforts, inspired them and
controlled them. When he praises the
deserving assistant, he, perhaps uncon-
sciously. but none the less effectively,
shows evidence of his own sagaclty
and ability, and he shows his caliber.
1t is the small-minded executive VINO
fears to boast of his fine assistants
lest to them should 60 the credit for
achievement he aggrandizes to him.

sistants, as rule, are on the lookout
for another field rather than for OPP
portunity to do more where they are
their full capacities are not developed;
their spirit is depressed, rather tnan
fostered. It is this sort OF executive
who uses" assistants, and drops
them.
The broad-minded executive de-
velops his good men, works them into
positions of increasing responsibility
and opportunity, and is In turn car
ried by them to successes unattaln'

Housewives are overlooking a very

agriculture. Dried fruits, it is SAID
are especially useful when the supply
of fresh fruit is limited. :,
The amount of dried fruit produced
in this country increased 575 per cent
between 1889 and 1909. California
produces more than three-hfths or the

each nerson consumes on an average
five or six pounds Of dried fruit

from 100000 to over 81, 100000 in

the boys remarked "Mooneve's

Pete stood beside Yellow Puffs,
He loved her hair even. 1t was short

thrill ran through him when she
leaned back against his shoulder to
let the old stage coach rumble into
the ring. He welcomed the thrill.
It was the precursor Of adventure.

Puffs put it behind her, and
laughed shortly. They stood in the
shadow of the big canvas entrance.
Beyond were the small tents, out in
the darkness. The nearest one was
Mooneye's. Pete's pulses began to
tap dance music, the same old tune
that Pan taught Childe Cupid to hop
to, some time back He bent over
and kissed the girls cheek. She
swerved so he could not reach her

Puffs. "They give you away"
Pete hesitated, helpless, blunder'

then he went into the ring.
Puffs waited for her turn. The
pony she always rode was dancing
restlessly under check. In the ring
Pete was doing his star act, as Pie
bald Pete from Windy Valley, dead
shot scout and terror of the red
skins. Now, they had turned the
steers and buffaloes into the ring for
the grand roundup and fight. After
that came Puffs' riding turn.
