Baseball Honeymooners Spending
Vacations On Beaches of Pacific
BY NJ. G. LARKIN.

VENICE, Jan. IA circus
and three big league ball players
are wintering here. This story
is not about the circus.
Two of the ball players are hon
eymooners. The third has been
married three years. The honey
mooners are Otto Miller, backstop
for the Brooklyn Nationals, and
Heine Groh, infielder with the
Cincinnati Reds. Max Carey, out
fielder with the Pittsburg Pr
ates, is the third one.
This is the first trip. TO the
coast for Heinie Groh &fd Otto

Ocean Park, near here, Iast win

Heinie Groh was the lightning
wooer. Ten days after he met
his bride she was wearing his en-
gagement ring. Three weeks after
they met they married. That was
last February. And II we had
waited 40 years we couldn't be
happier" said Mrs. Groh.
The three players came west
with the all-National team. They
played 80 ball games en-, route,
and arrived in San Francisco for
Thanksgiving. /,
A merry time these ball tossers
have had since their arrival at

"All Australia made a protest
against Darcy coming to America

finally the agitation reached such
stage that the authorities posi-

leave his native land. Hundreds
of mothers who had sent their
boys to the front protested
against granting a one years

Speaker Richard Maher of the

BOSTON, Jan. 12.-Tom Cow
Ter, the British heavyweight
whom jim Corbett picked up at
Portland, Ore, last season,
fought a plucky 12-round battle
with Battling Levinsky of New
York here last night.
In the early part of the battle
Cowler was all aggressiveness.
In the second round he sent
short arm swing to the Battler's
jaw and sent him to the floor.
Levinsky was plainly surprised
and WINGED. He remained down
for the count of nine to collect

In the early part of the fight,
Levinsky's skill and shiftines en-
abled him to outpoint his oppon-
ent in later rounds and at the end
of the fight he was easily entitled
to a decision.
Boxing fans who witnessed the
fight were surprised at Cowler's
improvement. Many predictions
for a brilliant career for the Port
land boy were heard.

THE ENCHANTED MOUSE.


One day the wife of poor man
caught mouse in a wire trap. She
took it to pail of water to drown it,
when, to her surprise. the mouse spoke
to her.
Good madam 1t said, Il am an
enchanted mouse and have in days
gone by been a prince. 1 hope some
me life and you will never regret it,
If you will promise never to take
the bread and cheese in my pantry
again." said the wife, II will grant
your request"
That l WILL" said the mouse, and
promise to keep the other mice away
also"
So the wife opened the trap and the
mouse ran into a big hole in the
wall.
What are you doing?" asked her
husband, who came in at that moment.
When the wife told him what the
mouse had said he was very angry.
why did you not make wish?" he
said. IF it is an enchanted mouse he
can grant anything, and here we are
living in this old hut and I never in
all my life had enough tobacco to fill .
my pipe. Call him back and wish that
may have comfortable home and g
full pipe"
So the wife went to the hole and
called: f:
Mouse, mouse, pray come to me,
l have favor to ask of thee"
The mouse put its head out of the
hole and asked: What do you want
of me?"
Il caught you in a trap" said the
wife, "and let you go without wishing.
My husband says should have wished
and that he is tired of living in this
hut. He wishes comfortable home
and full pipe"
Very WELL" said the mouse; "close
your eyes, turn around three times and
then open your eyes and you will have
the wish"
The wife did as the mouse said, and |
when she opened her eyes there was
her husband sitting in q large easy
chair smoking a pipe.

than the poorly furnished hut we lived
In, and have full pipe, too?'

be content now, for we shall be warm

But one day later the husband said:

said; ''he is tired of living In q small

of being without full pipe, he never

 With the passing of time Wall stree, seemed to arrive at a more or less unan- imous conclusion that Germany offered such substantial concessions to this coun- try demands as to remove all danger of an immediate rupture. In conservative banking quarters, opinion went so far as to see in the communication from Berlin a yelled promise of early peace negotia tions. with the United States in the role of mediator.
 It was evident from the markets re- n,arkable powers of recuperation tha, technical conditions, as affecting securi- ties no less than general economic con ditions are inherently sound. It also was demonstrated beyond doubt that giving fair and valid reasons. the out. look favored another general advance in quoted values.
 This feeling was the natural outcome of various home developments. notably the further brilliant statements of rail way earnings, record breaking exports countrywide expansion of general busi- ness and the unceasing demand for steel. iron, copper and allied metals
 There was a pronounced change for the better in Mexican affairs, which found marked reflection in the higher prices of Mexican securities. The main fea tnre of the stock market, however, was the extraordinary activity of shipping issues. Mercantile anarines made new high records early in the week and when these fell back moderately their place was taken by United Fruit. in which prominent financial interests are be- lieved to have acquired substantial hold ings.
 Rails and other standard stocks made only indifferent response to the favor. able conditions reflected by larger re- turns and United States Steel also held back, in consequences it was thought, of heavy liquidation for foreign account.
