Some Facts About
Career of Evers

Is the highest paid ball players
in the world this year.
Twelve years ago Evers was
earning just 81 weekly. His com
pensation for this seasons work
will far exceed $1,500 per week.
He has already shared in the
profits of four worlds series.
Has never played on a second
division outfit and his club has
always been away up in the fight.
Although not the shortest. he
was by far the smallest PLAYER that
ever broke into the big league. He
weighed but los pounds when he
Joined the Cubs twelve years ago
and he weighs but 1877 now.
In his dozen years of big league
conflict he has earned approxi-
mately 5000. But for the fact
that the era of high salaries started
only five or six years ago, his earn
ings would be considerably greater.
To Evers more than to any other
player must go the credit for twice
snatching the pennant flag from
the Giants. It was he who took
advantage of the "honehead" play
that lost New York the champion
ship IN 1908. His work i'm the
Braves infield caused the Giants
downfall this year.

Sanitary reasons have been largely
the cause of the withdrawal of both
the German and allies forces from
their entrenchments along the Aisne
and the consequent change in the bat
tie, which, il had been supposed. was
due entirely to strategic reasons. The
positions were becoming rapidly un-
tenable because of the impossibilitv
of burying the dead. So fierce and
persistent had been the fire that men
could not leave the trenches. IL was
impossible to risk the lives of men in
burying the bodies of those who had
fallen"
