Clarke's Good Record.

Fred Clarke. who has resigned as
manager of the Pittsburgh Nationals
after nearly sixteen years as the pilot
of that club, stands unique among the
baseball managers of the time. His
years Of service for n club exceed
those of any manager in major league
baseball, and he has seen many men Of
note come and go as rival managers.
When Clarke went to Louisville back
in 1894 he cost Barney Dreyfuss only
$500. He has been remarkable for his
years of service as one Of the great
players Of his time as well as a most
efficient manager. In fifteen years as
manager Of the Pirates he has never
had them finish in the second division,
and his general average has been bet
ter than third. He has won four Ma
tional league pennants and one worlds
championship.

Great Prehistoric Lake.

Lake Agassiz was a body of fresh
water that existed during q late stage
of the glacial epoch in the valley Of
Red River and extended northward
from the present head of that stream
for nearly 700 miles. The area of the
lake at the time of it's greatest ex-
pansion was about 10000 square
miles, exceeding the present aggregate
area of the five great lakes tributary
to the st. Lawrence.
The shore Of this ancient lake is
marked by well defined beaches, and
it is from these that the existence and
the extent of the lake are known. The
lake was named by. the geologist War
rem Upham in honor Of Louis Agassiz,
who was the first to make a systematic
study of glaciers and glacial phenome-

President Toner has announced that
the O covered trick plays will be
barred from the National league after
this season. Tcner intends putting
through Il set of rules during the Win
ter that will prevent Miller IIuggins
and other tricksters from winning ball
games by causing II of the opposition

cry was higgins little stunt, played
on Appleton, the Brooklyn pitcher. The
Cards had two men on bases, Higgins
was on the coaching line for his team,
and Appleton was pitching.
Just as Appleton was about to wind
up for a pitch Higgins yelled:
Hey, throw that ball here: throw it
here, | say"
Appleton looked at Higgins. figured
that Higgins thought he was using an
imperfect ball or had been sandpaper-
ing it, and then threw it toward Hug
gins. The Card leader lodged the
throw, the ball went to the grandstand,
and before it was recovered the Cardi-
nal runners had scored, and the Cards
won the game.

OkIahoma,s Gas Field.

The United States geological survey
has made public a report on the Loco
gas field, Oklahoma, by Carroll Ii.
Wegemann. The Loco field is on the
line between Stephens and jefferson
counties. about three miles southwest
of the village of Loco and ten miles
northwest of the Healdton oil field.
For many years asphalt deposits have
been known to exist in this vicinity,
but deep drilling for Oil and gas was
not begun until 1912. The first gas
we'll was struck in the spring of 1913
about six months before the Healdton
pool was discovered. Six other gas
wells of capacities ranging from 6.0O0,
600 to 100000 cubic feet a day have
been drilled, but no pipe line has yet
been laid to the field, and the wells
are capped.

PHI CARTER, WHO HOLDS SEASONS
RECORD
after a twenty-three hole battle, the
longest match I'VE played in a metro
politan championship.
Carter has the best showing of any
golfer, young or old. To see the
yOungster in action is TO know how
he could win so many tournaments.
First of all, the youth is a natural
born golfer. He plays all his clubs
well, especially his half iron shots.
which travel up to the pin on a dead
line. Carter drives al unusually long
ball, though in build he looks to be
more Of a candidate for q parlor sport.
In addition to his golting skill this
youngster has the temperament and
requirements of a great match player,
plenty of steadiness, nerve and aggres-
siveness. He is always plugging away
at his opponent, quits and
doesn't know when he's beaten.
Carter first began to swing a club
when a tot Of about nine at the invita-
ton of his father. a Long Island IN. "
doctor. The boy has been whacking
golf balls ever since. though he never
competed in Il national championship.
He was busy with school work when

Ing eliminated from the recent Detroit
tournament. If Carter had been there
well. that boy Phil is some golfer.
