George Chalmers Only Scotchman Playing in
 Major Leagues Today

There have been a number of big league ball players with Scotch blood
 in their brains, but there is but one native of Scotia now held in base ball captivity. This son of the land of Bobby Burns answer to the monf- ker of George Chalmers, and he was born in Aberdeen twenty-eight. years ago today, June ', 1888. The big twirler of the Phillies ernigrated to America at a tender age and settled in New York, where he received his baseball education, and while still in his teens he was a star with semi professional clubs.
 It was in 1909 that the Scotchnan got his first regular job on the dia- mond. He was given a trial by the Scranton club of the New York State league, and in a little while he had the swatters of that circuit eating out of his hand. In 1910 Chalmers went through the league like a whirlwind, d, winning twenty-five games and los ing only six. His principal rival for the pitching honors of the league was a young fellow named Grover AIexan- der, with the Syracuse club, but Chal- mers was considered the better of the two. In nid-season the Scotch spitballer was sold to the Phil1ies for autumn delivery, and Alexander was also drafted lay the same club. In his first se1Son in the big show George won thirteen and lost ten games-a good showing for a new

conner, but completely surpassed by
 the remarkable 1911 record of the
 great Nebraskan.
 Toward the close of his first sea
 son under the main tent Chalmers
 hurt his wing and was put out of com
 mission. At first it was thought that
 the injury was but temporary, but
 after some of the best specialists and
 bonesetters in the country had failed
 to bring the salary whip around it
 seemed that Chalmers was all
 through. In 1912 George won four
 and lost three games, and the next
 year he won three and lost ten. Early
 in 1914 the Quaker pilot reached the
 reluctant conclusion that Georges
 case was hopeless and turned him
 adrift. Chalmers tried to get mi nor league job, but failed. '-Finis
 seemed written in big black letters to l the tale of his baseball career. George didn't agree with this opinon, and
 having a large measure of Scotch per
 sistency and doggedness, he kept plug
 ging away He spent the 1914 season in New York, picking up a little coin by twirling for semi-pro clubs, and along in the fall he began to show some of his old class. In the spring of last year McGraw offered to take Chalmers to Marlin, but, although the big fellow did good work in the South Muggsy decided against him. Chalmers was about to accept an of fer from Jersey City when Pat Nor
 an appeared on the scene and offered him another chance with the Phi1s Georges record last year was noth- ing remarkable, but he did good work and was next to Alexander and Mayer in winning the flag for the Phi1lies. In his first appearance in the box after his comeback Chalmers shut out, his friends, the Giants. He pitch ed the most intelligent and heady game of any of the Philadelphia twir1- CTS in the 1915 worlds series, even though he was defeated.
 Out, as George is called by his play
 mates, is a fine, upstanding, intelli- gent young fellow, with all the sturdy Scotch virtues as well as a Scotch
 burr in his speech, and whether or not he lasts in baseball he is very | likely to be successful in life. Like three of his Philadelphia, team mates, | Chalmers used his worlds series coin | as a matrimonial nest egg, leading a i charming New York girl to the altar | last Noyem Der.

Barbers In Japan.

In Japan not only men, but women, go to the barber if there be any sign of hair on their faces. They do not per init even the soft down to grow, which the Japanese are often astonished to see left unmo1ested on the faces of some western women. Often, too, the eyebrows are shaved. In recent years the female barber has become feature of the profession in Tokyo, most of these being the wives of barbers who wish to make themselves useful to their husbands, though some are in dependent. The 17th of every month is regarded as a barbers' holiday, when they close up shop and go to theaters and places of amusement, for which they are often furnished with free tick. cts. because they allow the play ybi1ls and other advertisements of the places of amusement to be posted in their shops free.

 OF RING BATTLES

18s6-Jim Sullivan, former middle weight champion of England, born at Bermondsoy. At last reports. SuIl1- van was doing his fighting with a gun, as a private in the Third Lon don Scottish regiment Sullivan pe- came a professional boxer at the age of 20, but in his early contests hs dld not make a very good showing. He was often defeated, and it was not until 1909 that he began to forge to the front. For two years he re- mained at the head of the English
 middIeweights, meeting and defeating all the best men of his weight in the tight little island. His first exper- fence of a knockout came in June, 1911, when he fought Billy Papke in London. The German-Anerican mid dleweight put Jim to sleep in the 9th
 round In 1912 Sullivan fought Georges Carpenter for the middle weight championship of Europe, at Monte Carlo, and the clever French man made quick work of him, land ing a knockout punch in the End round. Sullivan then went to Aus traIfa, where he achieved a small measure of success, but was back in England when the war broke out.

Major League Scouts
 Keeping Eyes On Best
 Players In Colleges

Worcester, June 7-Because of the surplus amount of promising material in college circles this season, major league clubs are keeping their scouts right after the college games through out the east, and reports have it that a big haul will be made by the ma jors after graduation exercises this month. This means that the minors will not be able to sell any pron1is- ing players unless they look like world beaters, and that a majority of the players lifted from the smaller organizations of the country will be by the draft route.
 It appears as if Sfe National and American league managers have wised up to the plans of Mack, by taking chances with school prospects at little cost rather than pay enormou sums for alleged stars. They don't have
