True Son OF Dixie and Born to Bask In
Warmth Of Sunshine-ProbabIy
Worst Batter In Game and the

The passing of Hub Perdue, who
has forsaken the baseball arena to
assume charge Of his property in
Texas is regretted by fan and player
alike. Hub is true son of Dixie, born
to bask in the warmth Of the sun
shine, and it was the great misfor.
tune Of his life that he was forced to
spend the greater portion of his major
league career as a member of the
Braves in cold, bleak Boston.
Hub Is no less famous for his ability
to tell n good story than he is for his
strength in the pitchers box or his
ludicroUa weakness ct tho plate. Per-
due was probably the worst batter lin
the history of baseball, and the best
story teller. Here is yarn spun by
Hub at the time of his transfer from
the Braves, then joke aggregation
to the st. Louis Cards.

Paris. Nov. 20.-French troops have
captured from the German and Bull

ragged. The Serbians on the east of
the Cerna river drove forward to the
village of Grunishte and captured that
position. In the Cerna bend they re-
pulsed a desperate counter-attack on
Hill 1912, directly east of Monastlr,
near the town of Iven. SO decisive
was the PruSsian reverse that the Bull
garians fed in disorder.
The Serbians drove forward along
the entire line and when they reached
the summit of Hill 1887, the principal
Monastir barrier, the Prussian com
mands evacuated the city. A French
| column then entered.
The entente troops have seized the
road leading TO Prilep, the great Bull
garian base, and the pursuit of the
TeutOnic forces continues.

astir has been abandoned by the Ger

The convention had before it that

the bill introduced in congress modelled
after the Canadian compulsory inveS-

"This effort to again subject wage
earners to involuntary Servitude has
aroused the determined resistance or
wage earners generally. To their dec

replied that although strike would be
made illegal under the proposed law,
and strikers criminals, yet individual
workers were not deprived of the right
to quit work.

wage earners may feel for industrial
wrongs to allow them by law the right
of individuals to quit work and TO de-
