JONES CAME THROUGH BACK
pooR-NEAR FRONT PORCH
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Some days ago fans on the South
Side loudly cheered when the CEN
ter field scoreboard showed the st.
Louis Browns licking the New York
Yanks, Washington, Boston or some
other team that was contending for
the lead of the league with the
White SOX.
Not for an instant did the fans be-
ieYe st. Louis in a short time would
be scrambling for the top and peril
ing the position of our own noble
athletes. But, now that the Browns
are live issues in the race, the South
Side fans continue to boost for their
success. When the scoreboard
showed them pulling a game out of
the fire against Cleveland yesterday
there was almost as much enthu-
siasm as over a SOx victory.
This spirit among Hose fans is a
tribute to Fielder Jones as a man and
manager. There is no great love for
st. Louis in the enthusiasm, and not
a great deal for the ball club, but
Fielder is working against obstacles
and the people here are for him.
They remember the pennant and
only worlds championship that came
to the South Side and think of Jones
as the greatest manager a Sox team
ever played for,
His showing this year proves them
just about right. Jones has taken a
club which paper comparison shows
far inferior to several other clubs in
the league and has it tied for fourth
place. And the end is not yet. His
recent rush presages a position
above the White Sox and possibly a
pennant. From statistical stand
point there is no comparison be-
tween the men Of Jones and those
of Rowland and CarTigan.
Some critics who were very much
anti-Federal league delight in point
ing to the poor showing some exc

Near-Fatal Accident

Hampton, the ten-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sullie ReXrode,
came near being killed by horse
at the home of the Rexrode's be-
low Valley Center last Saturday.
He was riding behind his father
on the horse, driving a flock of
sheep, when it became necessary
for MIR. ReXrode to dismount and
leave the horse and boy alone.
They We're standing on bridge,
and the horse, assaying to turn
round, stepped backward off the
bridge to the creek bed several feet
below, landing squarely on the lad.
Strange to stay, he escaped being
killed, though DR.. Fox, who was at
once summoned, feared for a time
that he was fatally injured, his
breast-in fact, his entire body
being badly crushed.

little victim stood him Wellin hand,

ish war, which, with the ensuing Phil
tppine campaigns, caused a cessation
Of work at the Leavenworth schools for
four years, came the reorganization,
whereby the old infantry and cavalry
school became first the general serV-
ice and staff college and, in 1911, the
present collection OF five schools with
roll Of rs student officers, 30 instruc-
tors, and curriculum embracing such
subjects as the mobilization of ma
tional resources and the laying and re-
pairing Of ocean cable
The basic school Of the five at Leav-
enworth, and the one considered Of
most value, is the army school of the
line, designed to give in a years course
a general military education Of the
higher order to the student officer who
is willing to apply himself to the stern
exactions OF the curriculum. Attend
ance upon this, as well as the four
other schools OF special character, is
purely voluntary; only men Of en-
thusiasm and virile regard for the ad-
vancement of their professional stand
ing can survive the test OF a year in
the school Of the line; shirkers who
think to evade the monotony Of post
life by being detached for study in the
graduate school at Leavenworth soon
discover their grievous misjudgment.
Competition dictates the selection Of
candidates for attendance upon the
school of the line, and competition of
the keenest sort attends their every
moment Of application. One officer Of
grade not lower than captain and of
not less than five years commissioned
service Is chosen from every regiment
of infantry, cavalry, and field artillery
not on duty in the Philippines; the
choice lying in the hands Of the COM
manding officer Of each regiment, sub
ject to confirmation by the secretary
Of war. Further restriction Ia imposed
by the requirement that the number OF
field artillery officers for any one class
be limited to five; this because Of the
practical and specialized field instruc-
ton provided by the field artillery
school at Fort Sill, Okla. The rigors Of
competition for appointment coupled
with individual hard luck in being de-
tailed for service in the Philippines at
favoring moment, sometimes brings
to the school OF the line men who have
grown gray in the waiting.
