Ever since attaining his majority
Mr.. Rock has worked increasingly in
behalf OF Democratic success in this
district. always being found in the
front ranks of the Democratic or
ganization of the Seventh ward in
which he resides. and his home pre-
cinct has always given banner
majority for the ticket in every cam
paign In appreciation OF his serv-
ices many Democrats in the party
have suggested him as splendid
material for a Democratic nominee
and al the beginning of this year
many of his admirers were behind a
move to request him TO announce as
candidate for the Democratic nom
ination as Legislative Representative
from the Forty-eighth district. which
is composed of the Sixth and Seventh
wards. and strange to say. many of
those requests came from Democrats
in other parts OF the city. who have
seen and appreciated his services to
the Democratic ticket as a whole in
every campaign. and especially so in
the last municipal election.
Es can be truthfully said that men
OF the caliber OF Logan N. Rock are
a valuable asset 10 the Democratic
party, as he is a fitting example OF
the coming young man. and young

wonderful things imaginable.

HISTORIANS AT
THE DEER PARK

The Bucks County Historical 30
ciety's Spring meeting, held Tues
day at the Solebury Deer Park, was
especially interesting as local history
was the subject discussed.
Ingham Spring, adjoining the
Deer Park, and named for Samuel
| D. Ingham, secretary of the treasury
of the United States under President
Andrew Jackson, received special at
tention from Henry c. Mercer, who
stated that it was the largest spring
East of the Susquehanna river IN
PENNSYLVANIA. Much other interesting
data was given, especially the legends
concerning its geologic formation,
and the possibility that a great
cavern, equal to the famous caves
of the South, may exist in the hills
back of the spring.
Former Judge Hartman Yerkes
spoke at some length upon the estate
of James Logan. Six hundred acres
of land were purchased just outside
of this borough in 1740, and still
bears what is unpopularly known
as The Loganian Tax" assessed
against these farms for the main
tenance of the Logan Library, in
Philadelphia. Judge Yerkes said
that Logan was land Spectator,
with an eye to the making of the
dollar, even though it did impose
hardships upon the future genera
tons.
Vice President B. F. Fackenthal
and others spoke of Logan" the
Indian, for whom Logan Inn, in
New Hope, is named, and of the
Logan" springs throughout Penn
sylvania.
New members elected to the So
ciety at this meeting were: DR.. j.

ELECT GOLF DIRECTORS.
Shawnee Club Has Already Out.
Grown Gage Park Course.

Shawnee Club Has Already Out
Grown Gage Park Course.
At a meeting of the Shawnee Golf
club held Monday night the following
directors were elected: J. E. Spald-
ing, A. C. Bartell, F. J. Ernest, H. D..
Driscoll. r. Fullerton. e. L. Copeland
and w. E. Bulls. Officers will be
elected some time in the near future.
The members of the club are con-
sidering a proposition to establish a
new golf course in Topeka, and 1t is
probable that an effort will be made
to get a suitable location. When the
organization was first formed, it was
intended that the new course at Gage
park would be used. But SO many
men have taken an interest in the
sport and the club has reached such
proportions that many OF the MEM
bers think a new course will be re-
quired to give them a proper chance
to dispose of their surplus golf en-
ergy.
Inasmuch as the course at Gage
park is only hole course, and as
the club already has over $50 MEM
bers It is felt that neither the MEM
bers of the club nor the general public
will be able to get much enjoyment
out OF the game next summer unless
more holes are added or another
course provided.

National baseball commission when II
declared player John l.. Sullivan, OF the

HANK o'DAY COMING BACK.
Veteran Umpire Will Assume His
FavOrite Role Again Next Spring.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Henry (Hank)
O'Day is coming back. The veteran
indicator handler, whose career has
been marked by two attempts at big
league managing, today said that he
would not retire but instead will ap-
pear next spring in his favOrite role.
Just where O'Day will appear next
spring is not known. Some time ago
he received letter from President
Gilmore of the Federals asking wheth-
er he would consider an offer from
the third league That was immedi-
ately after he was releasedd as mana
ger of the Cubs He informed Gilmore
that as soon as he made up his MIND
about quitting or returning as an UNI
pire he would be open to offers.
Both the American and National
Leagues may welcome chances to land
the veteran in the role of umpire. 1t
is a cinch that the Federals will make
him an offer.

HE'S ALL RIGHT NOW.
Yankees Will Spring Holiday Sur
prise on "Wild Bill' Donovan.
(By Hal Sheridan.)

New York, Jan. 19.-You guessed it.
Charley Ebbets is going to spring an
other dedication day''-and spring
it early. Before the spring robins are
properly thawed out and before the
baseball bugs get acclimated and
blase on the subjects of baseball, Mr..
Ebbcts will hit .'em with a bill Dono-

The wires had scarcely ceased tick
ing the news that Bill was to manage
the New York Yankees when Ebbets
began singing songs of praise for
wild Bill' once hoped from Eb-
bets club to the Detroit Tigers in the
old baseball war, was forgotten by the
Dodger prexy and he turned loose a
galaxy of pleasing adjectives to voice
'Likeable fellow" said Ebbets.
"Great personality. That wide smile
and good nature gets the fans and
players alike
All this having been dutifully en-
rolled by careful scribes, Ebbets got
down to the business Of the meeting.
That reminds me-" said he. 1.-The

Passing up Charley Ebbets and his

bet that the move that brought DOno-
