USED RAzORS ON THE Pla
Salmon p. Chase, as Youngster, Did
Good Job, But 1t Failed to
Meet Appreciation.

Salmon P. Chase, governor Of Ohio.
senator of the United States, secre
tary of tho United States treasury,
and chief justice of the Supreme
court of the United States, once had
an encounter with pig that is worth
telling.
When a boy he attended a private
boarding school kept by his uncle
the Episcopal bishop of Ohio. He
did the chores for his uncle during
the school term, and worked on the
farr, during the summer. One day
his uncle told his nephew that he
should kill and dress pig at the
close of the school tina. day.
With no little difficulty. the boy
caught the pig and killed it. And
now the question was how to get the
bristles off. He had heard of farmers
scalding hogs; so he 2oused the pig
into a barrel of lot wafer. He either
held the pig in the water too long,
or did not have it hot enough, for II
spite of all his scrapiLg. the bristles
would not come of. He then thought
of his uncle's razors, and getting
them, he shaved the pig from nose
to tail.
When the bishop returned, he con-
graduated his nephew on the splendid
appearance of the pork. But when he
tried to shave the next day, he di--
covered that the razors would not
work. What he said and did we may
imagine, but we do not know.
Chief Justice Chase .Tas very dig
nified man. His private secretary. Mr..
Didier, says that he had little humor
in his composition. President Lin
coin once related the foregoing story
at a meeting of the cabinet, but Mr..
Chase did not like it very well, and
the president never referred to it
again.-Youth's Companion.

RABBIT SETS PACE
FOR BALL PLAYER

The middle West has added
another interesting item to the
baseball chronicles of the year
with a story of a rabbit which
acted as pacemaker for a bat
ter who had driven out a home
run. The incident occurred at
st. Cloud, Mimi, when Thielman
of the home team lifted a long
hit to center field, which started
a rabbit hidden in the long
grass.
The four-legged spectator of
the game frightened by the ball
ran toward the infield, reaching
second base just ahead of Thiel
man. Touching the bag. the
rabbit headed for third, and in
order to avoid the bleachers
turned at that bag and crossing
the home plate disappeared un-
der the grand stand. Thielman
was right at the rabbits heels
in the race for the plate and
was credited with a circuit hit,
but the scorer refused to give
the rabbit home run. claiming
that it had not touched first
base.

(By FRANK g. MENkE.)
Pete Russell is back in the Univer-
sity of Chicago-and, therefore, the
Chicagoans are very optimistic as to
Chicagos chances of grabbing the
1915 football honors in the West.
Oh. yes, graduation, the bane of all
college coaches, kicked the bulk OF
the cogs out of the powerful machine
that Alonzo A. Stagg assembled in
1914, but Peter Russell is part Of the
machinery that was unkicked. and
with Pete back in his quarterbacking
| job this year, the Maroon chances are
very rosy indeed.
Russell is one of those quarterbacks
that one reads about mostly in fiction.

fields, great line smasher, a tricky,

wonder, isn't in glooms, despite the
fact that some of it's greatest stars OF
1914 are gone?

end; Stegman, Coutchie and Kixmiller
all regulars in 1914. But there are
enough regulars and first-string sub.
stitutes on hand this year to form the
foundation for a great team.
Coach stage Is Unworried.
There is really nothing about the
Chicago outlook to cause discourage

the vacant places will be hard to fill
but the candidates this year look very
promir g."
Floo-, wonderful line smasher and
veteran of the 1914 campaign, will be
the regular Maroon fullback. The Sc
lection of two regular halfbacks must
be made from among Schafer and Cor
don. the only two men who got ex
perience last year, and a squad OF
youngsters. Gordon performed mostly
at quarterback in 1914, relieving Rus
sell. but can play a great game al
halfback.
Schafer is fairly sure of job or
the varsity this year, but some of the
newcomers may nose out Gordon. Fl
Norgren, brother of the back who
gained fame on the western gridirons
year or so ago, is showing up won
derfully well. Calm and Pershing
also 'sophs," show great promise.
Sparks and Whiting, who got into
nearly all the 1914 games, are Ger
tainties for the flank-guarding posi-
tions. Brelos, Chang, Gerdes, Rankin
and Strong are the newcomers who
are trying for the end positions.
Tackles viii Be Veterans.
Shull and Jackson, veterans of the
1914 campaign. will be the regular
tackles-and a wonderful pair it is.

ARE AFTER FOREIGN HORSES
Sales in England and Franco to
Secure Thoroughbreds.

That the American turf is to have
more imported racing material next
year than at any previous time ap-
pears to be foregone conclL sion.
The fact that Phil Chinn, widely
known turfman, and several other
prominent turfmen, have arranged for
trip to England for the purpose of at
tending the fall sales indicates the
American turf will have a number of
imported thoroughbreds competing
next year for it's rich prizes.
Chinn last year visited England and
France, and while away purchased IL
thoroughbreds for Jefferson Living
stone, among them several winners
this year.
Chinn will, it is understood, have
authority when he goes over this year
to buy whatever he likes and use his
best judgment in price to be paid for
yearlings and two-year-olds.
1t is also said that Chinn has been
commissioned to purchase number
of steeplechasers for members Of the

need little developing and the Ma
room coaches, cogniZant of this, are
spending major portion of their time
teaching the youngsters the tricks
necessary for varsity linesman.
The material at the disposal of the
Maroon leaders this year is not quite
as bulky as they would like to have
it, but the coaches are attempting to
develop speed as an Offset for the lack
of weight.
All in all, Chicago's outlook for 1915
is not as bright as it was in 1871
but outlooks oftentiues deceive.
