Dick HobIifzeI is 26 Years of Age;
First Tie Game Was Played in 1854

Dick Hoblitzel, first baseman of the
worlds champion Red Sox, passed his
26th milestone on Tuesday, having
been born in Parkersburg, W. Va,
October 26. 1889. DR.. Richard is one
of the reasons why the red-hosed
bunch are basking in the limelight as

able globe. incidentally, whenever
they think of Hobby. eight managers
of the National League clubs look
about for the nearest wall on which to
bump their beans in the assurance
that no injury will result because Of
the osseous protection provided by ma
ture for said knobs. For Dick, as you
may remember. is a National League
castoff, and every team in that cir
cult waived on him last year.
Hobby broke into the professional
ranks in 1907 with the Clarkesburg.
W. Va, club, where, for the purpose
Of preserving his social and amateur
standing he was known as Dick Hol-
lister. The next year he was with
the Reading team in the Union League

majors, but which went on the rocks
after a few weeks. Dick they landed
a job with Newark, in the Eastern
League, but he lasted only three
weeks in that company and was then
sent to Wheeling in the Central
League. With the StOgies he made a
great reputation as first sacker and
batted for .356, with the result that
toward the close OF the 1908 season
he landed with the Cincinnati Reds
h 1909 he became the regular
arst baseman of the Cincinnati clut
and swatted the pill for .SOS From
The first he was a good fielder and a
strong hitter. After the close OF the

and education, and that little mental
lapse should not be held against him.
Since then he has recovered the fun
possession of his intellectual faculties,
and the fact that he once wanted to
pilot the Reds seems to him but a bad
dream.
Last year the Cincinnati manage.
ment decided that Hobby was no
longer good enough for their cellar
aggregation. and turned him loose.
Although at least four of the Ma
tional League clubs needed first
sackers, all of them waived on him,
and Dick landed with the Red Sox.
His acquisition was a great factor
in the great race made by the Sox
last year, for he batted at a .319 gait,
and filed the weakest spot in the

SESSION MAY BE
LONG AND LIVELY
The Present Outlook Is That 1t Will
Be the Most Memorable in
Number of Years.

Senator D. C. Pickett and Repre-
sentative NJ. J. Yeomans left today
to attend the special session of the
legislature which convenes tomorrow.
The extra session may be as long and
more memorable than any regular
session in recent years.
While the appropriations bill is
theoretically the main subject of the
call the question which overshadows
all others and that will probably in
voIve the greatest amount of time is
prohibition. The belief is general
that material changes will be made
in the present laws of the state al
though just how far the new laws
will go is a matter of conjecture.
Other matters of serious import
will be the Western & Atlantic situa-
ton the cotton warehouse measure
and two or three other problems OF
economic importance to the state at
large.
The session may develop fight on
the whole machinery of the house of
representatives as at present consti-
tuted, with an effort on the part of
the prohibition forces to abolish the
power of the rules committee and
what they regard as the cza"-like
ability of the speaker, through his
appointment of the rules committee,
to dominate the deliberations of the
assembly.
