GIANT STAR PITCHES
FOR HIS HEALTH

Fred Anderson, star of the Giants
curving corps. is one hurler who may
truthfully be said to be pitching for
his health, though of course he also
draws down some cash stipend for his
services.
Several years ago while pitching for
the Boston Red SoX, Anderson was
studying dentistry on the side.
Finally he decided to give up baseball
and follow his other profession. He
bought out the practice Of an old
tooth carpenter down in Georgia and
hit 1000 in the prosperity league.
Finally his health broke under the
strain. A physician advised him to
take long rest and be outdoors as
much as possible. The Federals, just
starting up, offered an opportunity
and Anderson grabbed it, signing with
Buffalo. He soon regained his health
and last year was regarded by many
as the best HEAVIER in the now defunct
organization.
lMcGraw heard of Anderson's PROV
ess and when the Feds blew the Giant
boss bought him.

They're half the team when speed
records are being attacked, but the
grimy-faced mechanicians who ride
with Resta, De Palma, Chrietiaens
ODOnnell, Rickenbacker and all the
other demon auto Wheelmen are al
ways overlooked i'm the rush. There's
very little spotlight stuff for these
chaps who firt with death to play
such important part in the failure or
success Of the cars.
Frank Bill Of Wolverhampton, Eng,
a member Of the English Sunbeam
racing stable is such a mechanician.
He's slip Of a lad, 81 years of age
and until recently worked in the avia-
ton department of the Sunbeam
plant. Because of his height, 5 feet
2 inches. he can't get in the British
army and came over to drive with
Christians, the Belgian.
1t was this combination that finish
ed third behind Resta and De Palma
in the 300-mile race at Chicago where
Resta averaged SO miles an hour. The
Sunbeam stopped only once and this
was for gas, the halt consuming 80
seconds. Il
Little Bill is a typical Britisher and
says in a few years he will construct a
car himself and give all the present
day cracks run for their money. He
is the youngest mechanician in pro-
fessional races in America today. In
addition to taking gas in 80 seconds
Bill has changed tire in IS seconds.

THEODORE LoRcH BRoT BAcG
Show Man Arrested at Shoshone on
Charge of Swindlins

Theodore Lorch, the show man,
Wednesday night, having been arre ST.
ed on a charge of swindling, the war
rant being sworn to by H. A. Haivor-
sen, proprietor of the Mountain Home
hotel.
The trouble came up on account
OF little short change stunt pulled
off by the Snowman. He kicked ON
account of the size of his bin and
created quite a little disturbance in
the lobby by loud talk and much
buster, but finally threw down q
hundred dollar bill. There was not
sufficient change in the cash drawer
SO the clerk passed the bill on to Mr..
Halvorsen, who changed it giving the
clerk smaller bills. About that
time the other members of the Lorch
company crowded to the desk and
clamoring to be checked out and while
the clerk was busy taking care of
them Mr.. Lorch picked up his re-
ceipted bill, some change that had
been counted out for him and the
one hundred dollars Of currency that
Mr.. Halvorsen had given the clerk
and beat it for the depot.
Almost immediately the mistake
was discovered but the hotel people
decided to let the matter go, and
the clerk made good the ten dollar
shortage in the cash drawer. The
incident was closed SO tar as the
hotel was concerned, or would have
been If Mr.. Torch could have re-
Trained from Dragging about his clever
work while waiting for the train. He
told number of people how he had
beaten the hotel man, and he request
ed the porter to "Tell that rube
that he had not only beaten his
hotel bill but also had gotten away
with three dollars of money" This
stirred Mr.. Halvorsen up, and Mon
day morning he swore out a warrant
and had the Snowman brought back.
Mr.. Lorch settled the bill and paid
all the costs incurred, amounting in
all to about $4,000, and he brought
Stockslager up with him which no
doubt cost him another fifty.

WOOL CONTINUES STRONG
Small Concerns are Well Stocked But
Big Buyers are Eager.

The condition of the wool market,
as indicated by Bradstreets journal
of April l, continues strong. Buy
ers for the big mills have been in
the market and have shown consid-
cradle eagerness to take on available
lots of good grades. Many of the
smaller concerns are reported to
have covered their proboble needs,
but the big manufacturers are US
ing so much wool that steady buying
is necessary. Buying in the west is
going on slowly as the demands OF
growers are considered exhorbdtant.
Both buyers and sellers seem con-
tent to wait until shearing before
operating further on large scale.
The reports that come from Australia
show prices on the top level with
America and Japan buying heavily.
Large transfers Of foreign wool are
noted on the Boston market, though
there is a growing scarcity OF de-
sirable crossbreds. Fleeces are sell
Ing at top prices, fine washed wool
having touched the top level of the
season.
