TO his credit, the youthful outfelder
reported TO Manager Dobbs Monday
and in his very first workout gave
evidence of his prowess with the will
low. There is no doubt of Cochran's
ability to punish the ball in whole
hearted fashion, but his main draw
back the one that prevented him from
sticking in Glass A company long ago,
was his inability to field. For two
seasons Manager Molesworth labored
in vain, trying to teach him fielding,
and last year was forced to relegate
him back to the minors for the last
time on this account If Cochran mas
tered this fault during the 1918 season,
there is little doubt but that he will
make Johnny Dobbs valuable player
during the coming campaign.
The hard luck nemesis is still tag
ging close at the heels of Manager Joe
Birmingham of the Maps. Not con-

was being counted upon 10 aid in the
rebuilding of a new flinging staff Bir-
mingham has rushed back to Cleve-
land for the purpose of making a last
attempt to persuade Falkenberg to re-

However, his mission is very likely in
vain as Falkenberg is reported as say

Federals and would leave shortly for
spring training.
On Saturday afternoon Charlie AIur-
ply, the belligerent boss of the Chi

adjourned session of the league mo-

purpose of definitely settling the
transferring of Evers. In the mean
time both Sweeney and Hub Purdue
are patiently waiting in Hot Springs
to see which team they are to become
the property of.
Announcement has been made by
President Gilmore of the Federals that
a complete list of the 175 players signed

the public shortly. Already the names
of nearly $50 of the new leagues are

instructed the Queen.

Queen Victoria of England was once pulled up short by an old Scotchwo- man. Her majesty had started out one afternoon to sit on a hillside and watch some of her relatives fishing in the river below her when she found that she had no thimble in her pocket. so could not work, as she had intend ed, at the sewing she was carrying. Turning out of her way to Mrs. Sy- mond's shop. she bought the smallest thimble there, which was. however too big for her. There was an old Scotch dame at the counter impattents ly waiting to make her own purchases. Not recognizing the queen, she broke into the conversation with a s'HOots. but it's rare fuss an faddle you're mal1in'. Blaw tntae it weeI an it'll stick" That phrase, the latter part of the sentence, amused her majesty immensely and became quite a prOverb in the royal family.

Row se- cundus, afterward the historian of the Church of Scotland. The first He brew book printed and published in Scotland, 1644. was a short grammar and vocabulary of Hebrew by Row ter tius, the grandson of Row primus. In 1642. two years before the appearance of this tiny but epoch making book, a professorship devoted exclusively to the teaching of Hebrew was founded in ScotIand-the Hebrew chair in Toon's college Of Edinburgh. But the fact remains that, in the matter of Se- mitic scholarship, Scotland was at this period far behind England, for the mid seventeenth century produced in Eng land a galaxy of Semitic scholars, at whose feet the foremost students of the continent were proud to sit, and the works of SeIden, Lightfoot, Pc cooke, Usher and the Polyglot Bible of Brian Walton remain to this day un- surpassed as monuments of Semitic learniDC
