REPRESENTATIVE FESS
HITS DIXIE" CONTROL
South Rides at Head Of Procession,
Says Congressman.

Representative Fess, Of Ohio, made a
caustic attack on the control of Con-
gress ty the Southern Democracy in a
statement issued as director of publicity
for the Republican congressional commit
tee yesterday
Had any one ventured a prophecy that
the time would come when the Union
soldier would see the entire government
which he saved. under full control OF the
States which attempted to destroy it, he
would have been regarded as a candidate
for an asylum" said Fess. That time
Is now reached; the South rides at the
head Of the procession"
Fess cited that the President and five
members Of his cabinet are Southerners,
and that seventeen out Of eighteen great
working committees of Congress are con-
trolled by Southern chairmen.
He charged that the South got liberal
appropriations in all so-called pork
bills, and that when the President called
the National Guard to the colors on June
the Northern States were the ones TO
respond, and that many Of the Southern
States have yet TO send a man 10 the
border.

CHAMPION PIRATES
WIDELY SCATTERED
Release of Gibson Leaves Only Wag-
ner as Survivor of 1909 Stars.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 1O-The release
of George Gibson. the veteran catcher,
by Pittsburgh, leaves only Hans Wagner
as the survivor Of the Pirates who beat
Detroit for the worlds championship in
1900
Gibson was born in London, Ontario,
July p 1880 and began playing ball with
the Kingston team of the Hudson River
League in 1905 He went to Buffalo that
year and in 1904 was with Montreal. He
was secured by Fred Clarke that year
and has played in Pittsburgh since. In
1893. the year the Pirates won the Ma
tiOnal League pennant and the world 5
series games, Gibson caught 40 consecu-
tive games, which Is the record. In 1907
he won the accurate throwing contest at
Cincinnati. In 1912 his fielding 9SO was
the highest ever made in the National
League, although FIVE other catchers
have the same record.
Heinie Peitz and Fred Carisch were
the c3tChers when Gibson Joined the
Pirates, but before the season was over
George was asked to do the bulk OF the
work. and he has been doing 1t right
along. On September 20 1907, at Expo
sition Park. he caught Nick Maddox in
the game IN which Nick did not allow
the BrOoklyns a hit.
With Gibson gone, only Hans Wagner
remains as a remnant Of the 1903 ma
chine that won the National League
remnant and then downed Detroit in the
worlds series. Babe Adams, the hero of
that series. was let go a few days ago,
and now Gibson. who caught every game

CASEY AT THE BAT
NOW In "MOVIES"

A long time ago De Wolf Hopper and
Chauncey Olcott entered into a solemn
compact. Hopper wasn't to recite Casey
at the Bat" as long as Olcott refrained
from singing The Wearln' of the Green -
As far as we know, the agreement has
been kept sacredly, in spite OF frantic
cries and calls Of pit and gallery. But
Hopper has found a way to put one
over on Chauncey and still keep his
promise. Hopper is acting the greatest
of all baseball poems. and, what is of
vital interest to fans and others he's
letting US know Just why Casey did 1t
and brought everlasting gloom to Mud
vile.
Here it is in a nutshell.
The little girl in the house where Casey
lived fell out Of an apple tree and was
terribly hurt Casey watched at her
bedside all night. The big game that
would decide the series with Frogtown
was scheduled next day. but Casey didn' t
show up.
The battle was going against the home
boys and they needed Casey's mighty bat
to win. A delegation went to get him.
The doctor told Casey to go to it," and
If the child got worse they would send
boy to the ball lot.
Last half Of the ninth. Mudville at bat.
FrOgtOwn, 7; Mudville, T. Two out and

.ANALOSTAN OARSMEN
R0WED LAST RACE
Club at Foot of New Hampshire Ave
nue. to Be Disbanded to Make
Way for Parking.

Few people who watched that great
nntsh in the senior eight-oared event,
OF the Middle States regatta on Labor
Day, when the Potomacs and Analos-
tans were so close to the winners at
the finish that a blanket could have
been thrown over all three eights. re-
allied that they had witnessed for the
last time crew rowing under the col
ors Of the Analostan Boat Club. But
this was the case. for it has been def
nitely reported that this club is going
to disband within the year, and that
the senior eight that rowed in that
race was the last crew to be turned
out by this club.
The Analostan Boat Club is the
oldest club of its kind now in exist
ence. 1t was organized in 1858 and
has been continually active since that
time.
The first boathouse Of the club was
the one now known as Cumberland s
BoathOuse, located next to the present
AnalostRn house. The building was
"''~0 bN-'~ nd in 1875. The Ana
lostsns then built a house at the foot
44-mY-uIre avenue and used
it until June l, 1889, when the freshet
at the time of the Johnstown flood
carried it away. taking with it many
prizes and boats Of other days.
The Analostans then moved to
where they now are located. and this
old house has been the scene Of many
an elaborate social event.
1t is, indeed, regretted that the club
has been forced to give way to the
new parking system along the Poto-
mac, and many an old waterman will
hark back to the days when the club
house was his second home and %
the many great times he had there.

RODGERS MADE TRIPLE
PLAY UNASSISTED

Bill Rodgers, formerly with the
Indians. achieved undying fame on July
20, when he executed an unasssted triple
play against Salt Lake, while playing
second base for the Portland club, in
the Pacific Coast League
Salt Lake had Orr on first, and Ryan
on second, in the last half Of the second.
Guigni the next man up, drove a vicious
liner at Rodgers. He speared 1t, touched
out Orr, who was racing for second, and
then leaped to the second bag before
Ryan could get back thus completing
one Of the rarest plays in baseball.

the following in connection with the
candidacy of Houston G.. Young for
the Republican nomination for Sec

Preparedness just now is an I'm

THE DAILY
NOVELET
BURIED TREASURE.
AT the bin now eyes we cast,
With a sadful sigh, and then
Bet ourselves the coal won't last
Till the robins nest again.

With charities and exultation. Riff
ram Magee unearthed the mysterious
diagram from among the roots OF the
old moccasin tree.
"The guide to buried TREASURED!
Quarter OF a dozen cheers for mel"
he cried.
With pick and shovel on his
shoulder he carefully followed the
direction Of the diagram.
TWENTY-FIVE leaps south from the
pipe-ash tree" they began.
What kind of leaps?" wondered
Rifram, and took twenty-five medium
sized ones.
-Four bounds due east came next
Though undecided between the rel
alive size OF leap and bound
Rifram did the best he could, and
consulted the diagram again.
Fifty. lopes three points west ol
the rising sum-" the diagram con.
cluded.
This brought Rifram to the center
OF vacant lot. All, true enough, the
ground there had been disturbed! He
dug feverishly and brought to light 9
half chewed ham bone.
At that moment Fritz. the towns
famous educated dog, raced up, tore
the diagram out Of Rifram's hands
picked up the ham bone, and disap.
peared in cloud OF dust.
