DAUBERT WAS PITCHER
Mere Accident Put Him in Lines
tight as Star lnfielder.
Couldn't Play In Cleveland Because
George StovaII Was in His Prime
Ranks Among Three Best
Initial Sackers of Country.

It is not generally known that Jake
Daubert, wonderful first baseman of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, was once a
pitcher. Only mere accident put him
in the limelight as an infielder of class.
Eight years ago Daubert lived in
Llewellyn, Pa, mining town. He
worked during the week and played
ball Saturdays and Sundays. In those
days he was better recognized as an
expert trap shooter than a ball play
er. He was one of the best shots in
the state of Pennsylvania, and still fol-
lows this sport when opportunity
comes.
Four towns in the mining district
conceived the idea of organizing
baseball league, and several college
players were imported to help out.
Daubert was signed to pitch for the
Lykens team. Things went along fair
ly well until one day two balls were
being used in practice. The first
baseman turned towards the outfield
to receive a throw and was hit in
the face by ball hurled across the
diamond by the third sacker. The
man was laid out for some time and
was unable to play that day.
In his quandary the manager turned
to Daubert, who wasn't slated to pitch
that day. Jake played wonderful
game, and from that time has won
a first baseman's mitt. The league
broke up soon after and Daubert
joined the Marion, o., squad as reg
ular intielder. From there he went to
Cleveland, but George Stovall was in
his prime and there was little doing
| for Jake.
Next he was shipped to Kansas City,
but refused to report. The result was

CATCHER ASKS PIANO

Charlie Williams, secretary of
the Buns, tells this one:

remarked Williams. Il remem-
Der a catcher we had once on
the old Chicago club. He came
from poor family in a small
New England town. On his Sec
ond trip with the team we put
up at one of the best hotels in
Boston.
"The rooms were magnificent.
Each sleeping room had an al
cove and a dressing room, all
magnificently furnished. We
hardly had settled down until
the catcher came to me with
a kick.
You've got to change my
room, he said. I won't stand
for it.

ment admitted that there was no vlo-
lation of international law in the sale
by private individuals of munitions of
war. When the German ambassador
in a memorandum practically accus-
ed the United States government of
not being neutral in the question of
permitting shipments of munitions, the
President was amazed. The sinking
of the American steamer Frye, the at

drowning of an American citizen,
Leon C. Thresher, the wrecking with
out warning of the American tank
ship Gulflight, the dropping of bombs
on the American steamer Gushing,
and finally the torpedoing of the giant
liner Lusitania constitute a series of
incidents which the President is try
ing to interpret. He wants to be GER
tain whether they range themselves
in order toward a grave climax of
carefully planned policy of hostility
to the United States, or whether the
sequence is casual and the German
government desires to continue
friendly relations with the Washing

Want War With United States.
If the German government, as not a
few diplomatists and officials fear, is
anxious to draw the United States in
to the European conflict in the hope
that defenses at home will reduce the
supply of arms to the Allies, some
officials believe the situation must |
be considered in the light of other
possibilities and incidents in the flu
ture which might be calculated to ag-
gravate public feeling in the United
States.
In every quarter the opinion pre- |
vailed that the President was con-
fronted with not only the most seri- |
GUS problem of his own career but |
one of the most trying and awkward |
situations in the history of the United |
States. In patient expectancy official

Harvest Your Sweet Clover.

There is going to be a great demand
for sweet clover seed this winter. 1t
has come to stay, having made good as
a soil builder in the eastern states, and
is becoming popular in many sections
for pasture and hay. The demand for
seed in the past few years has caused
it to sell considerably higher in price
on the markets than alfalfa seed. The
price will probably not be quite SO good
this season as it was last year but it
will ut least be as high as alfalfa.
Henry Field quotes, in his September
price list, hulled white blossom sweet
clover seed at twenty-eight cents per
pound, and unhulled seed at eighteen
cents per pound retail.
Sweet clover has been known to yield
twelve bushels per acre under most
favorable conditions, while Ave to
seven bushels is considered an average
yield under ordinary conditions. B. L.
Van Vechten, president of the LaJara
State bank in the San Luis valley
states that his Yellow Blossom sweet
clover Melted him thirty dollars per
acre last year after paying for irri-
eating, harvesting, threshing and mar
keting. White Blossom sweet clover
yields more abundantly than the yell
low variety.
There are hundreds Of acres in the
l San Juan basin that If properly har-
Vested this season would very niatar-
'iaAy s6dt to the income of the farmers.
On some tracts this crop is the most
valuable one that has been grown this
season.

liable crop at once and transform this

profitable income. - E. D. Smith.
