Cleveland Indians will have two tai

next summer If there is any truth IN
current rumors The report Ia being
spread that Joe" Wood and Ray
Caldwell will perform for the Indians
next summer.
Joe" Wood did not work last sea-
son. After a little indisposition at the
close of the 1915 season he showed
I'D late last summer ready to work
and demanding a raise of pay. In an
interview he had with j. ]. Lanuin,
the owner of the Red Sox, in the mid
die of last summer. Joe" satd he was
as fit as he had ever been. but Ian
min couldn't see his demands and sc
Wood went home to his farm.
It's unlikely that ice" will remain
idle next season. 1t is also unlikely
that the Boston Red Sox's new own
ers will turn down good offer for
the star. There Is much to support
the idea that Joe" will join the In
dams. especially as It is known that
Jim" Dunn, president or the IN
dams is eager to strengthen his team

When cog and pulley sets pace

Before rushing blast.

And seized the lightnings fiery sword
To make the wheels go round.
From pole 10 pole and sea to sea
He bore the pickering blade
And with its magic, power. behold!
A world wide empire made.
Beneath its touch the inert wire
Awoke to thought and sound,
And motors drummed. and cables

And all the wheels go round.
In Erin in the olden time
The little people nights
Came stealing in TO sweep the hearth.
And set the house to rights,
But now tits electricity

And plays the baby grand.
And rings the hell obedient

Spins out from place to place.
