CATCHING STAFF
 BEST IN LEAGUE

AS for the catching staff, it is without . doubt the peer of an in the southern circuit. George Hale is a youngster that will not be in the Southern league next season, and the exact reason that he ever managed to leave the American league has never been explained. However 1t may be on account of his hitting. Hale Is probably not the heaviest hitting catcher on the circuit but he certainly en- courage the pitchers and eject pepper in the game. In Shotgun" John Wallace. the Barons have another receiver fully in the class with Hale, and incidentally a walloper.
 Thus the fans can readily see that de-

HEMINGWAY AND
 SLOAN ARE FACTORS

Of the newcomers Edson Hemingway and Tod Sloan stand out the players that make the Barons pennant factors this season. Sloan is now hitting well over the 300 mark, and Hemingway is easily the peer of any third sacker in the league as well as being the leading hitter on the Baronal squad. Dannie Clark at the keystone bag has also shown remark able form
 Karl Black the new southpaw signed to replace Curley Brown, who is now with the Cincinnati Reds, ar also a valuable adjunct to the pitching staff. Black lasr Saturday afternoon hurled d perfect ball game aaginst the Memphii and made lasting impression with the fans MT Black will do.
 As to Burleigh Grimes, this young man has proved d veritabe comeback from the form he displayed early last season. Grimes at the present time is easily the most sensational pitcher on the southern circuit and it will not be many weeks be- fore he is attracting the attention of the gum shoe men from the major leagues
 Of the veterans. Roy Ellam in the short- field and Clyde Mcbride are playing the best baseball of their careers Mcbride is hitting about .2S0 and in timely fash ion. He is also covering the sun garden in fautless style. At short Eliam, the Baronial field captain, is faster than ever and swatting the pill consistently. Char ley Carroll the former utility man, who is now the regular first sacker, is capable performer and fits in well with the new Baronal machine.
 Of the veteran pitchers Dickie Robert son naturally stands out pre-eminent ow- ing to his record of six consecutive vic tories However, the work of Johnson also merits mention. Hardgrove as yet has shown absolutely nothing but optm- ists point out that warm weather will bring the old veteran to form. It is pos eible.

work will be erected on the site of

dry will then be built 10 feet away
form the machine shop.
Before the fire. Campbell and
Kelly employed rs tand sometimes
30 men. They will need an even
larger force when the new establish
ment is completed. In addition to
the machinery which will be salvaged
from the fire, the firm will expend
about $4,000 for building and
equipping the new plant. 1t is ex-
pected to have the temporary foundry

is an evidence or an ex-
preston of what may be termed etern-
al life as it pertains to vegetation and
reproduction of plant life by cohabit-
ing seed with sell. This is the growth
of four shapely beans planted
from seeds of the nutritious bean,
taken from one of the of the
ancient (Aztec) cliff Jewellers OF
Arizona, says the Humboldt Star.
John G. Taylor brought the seeds
to Mr.. Sheehan. who planted them.
These seed beans according to the
deciphering of the cliff dwellers' hi
e~roglyphics. are over 5000 years old
All these years these seed beans were
like the beans of history, ready to re-
produce and terminate with proper
co-relationship. These bean bushes,
raised from seeds buried IN the Aztec
caves for over 1000 years., are an
evidence fully of the immutability OF
all things. They show that evidence
which exacts from every antecedent
its equivalent, bringing vital as well
as physical phenomena under the
dominion of casual connection which
in human comprehension asserts it
self throughout life and nature.
This growth in Mr.. Sheehan's gar
den is surely a unique and interest
ing expression of tie wonderousness
c. nature and life II may be mys-
sterious in its origin but it is sugges-
tive of the intensity and greatness
that awes mankind.
With pride does Mr.. Sheehan point

rom seeds more than 5000 years
old, and promises at The proper time
his friends a real bean feast.
