Mother Seeks Anton Serstad So
That He Can Rejoin

Troops.

Madison, Wis, Aug. A.-The words
Of that old Salvation Army song,
''Where Is My Wandering Boy To-
night" possesses more than usual sig
nificance to Mrs. Mary Serstad of this
city, whose son, Anton, on the re-
serve list of the United States army,
went away to work in the harvest
fields of North Dakota three weeks
ago and, although innocent, is in
danger of being arrested for deser-
ton.
"A short time ago, Anton, who is 80
years old, returned to his old home
in Madison, after serving three years
with the Fourth United States caval'
ry which is stationed at Honolulu,
Hawaiian islands. He had always
been proud of his army experience
and was awaiting impatiently for the
call which would bring him from the
reserve and back with the col0rs. He
was working on. the state capitol
building as a stone-cutter. ~t* g.
The Mexican trouble came and
every day Serstad was expecting the
call which should order him to rejoin
his command. None came. Then
the lure of the largeIfwages paid in
the Dakota wheat fields called him
and three weeks ago cleft his moth.
er and started for the west. Since
that time she has heard nothing from
him. Z
Then the order came from army
headquarters in Chicago for Anton to
rejoin his troop. His mother did not
know where he was and wrote back
to that effect. The letters from Chi
cago became brusque and limited that
she knew more concerning the where
abouts Of her boy than she would dis
close. 1ntimations were made that if
the government had to look him up,
an arrest for desertion would follow,
which would send him to Leaven-
worth in disgrace.
Il know he would come back, If he
knew, for he loved the army" his
mother said fearfully 'The only
thing l do know is that he is some.

THE SPOILERS PROVES
EXCELLENT PRODUCTION

This brilliant romance of the gold
fields of our great northwest is strong
in sentiment, is stepped in fierce prim-
tive passions, inspired by insidious
evils that invent the closing coils of
a great conspiracy. 1t braves priva'
tons with death ever eminent, day by
day, and through the long night of
the domain of the midnight sun. 1t
has the better and brighter things in
contrasting figures to the rugged min
ers, in sweet and refining, as we'll as
reliant and impervious womanhood,
to give it interest in unusual ways,
SOLDERING and inspiring as it touches
the hearts and actions of rugged and
battling men. These strong elements,
in the melting pot Of this romance,
fuse to make the great work intense,
picturesque and potential beyond
compare, as far as current production
of motion pictures is concerned.
Rarely has a more distinguished
audience assembled to see motion
picture than the one that saw the
dress rehearsal Of "The Spoilers" at
Orchestra hall, Chicago, before it's
opening at the Studebaker, where it
has played for ten weeks to record.

A WORD ABOUT
CHARLES jCOM|SKEY
Owner Of Chicago White Socks,
Known as "Grand Old Roman"
Is SO Today.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-One Of the great.
est men in baseball was born In this
city, SO years ago today. He is Charles
Albert Comiskey, known from coast
to coast as the Grand Old Roman"
Mr.. Comiskey is president and own
er Of the Chicago White Sox, the club
which at this time is battling for the
lead in the American league. Com
my" was born August Is, 1858. He
played ball when he was II years OF
age. He at one time was a pitcher
for the Elgin, ILL.,, club, later he play
ed third base and first base, but as
a first baseman he has no superior.
He is the only player who has risen
from the ranks to be sole owner of
a major league ball club.
Comiskey's real baseball career be-
gan in 1878, with the Dubuque, a.,
team. In 1882 he Joined the st. Louis
Browns, then in the American Asso-
citation, and in 1883 he was made
manager of the team. In ,18S5-1S86
the Crowns, with Comiskey at the
helm, defeated the Chicago White
Stockings for the championship Of
the world IT, t.
Comiskey remained with St. Louis
until 1890, when he took charge of the
Players league club in Chicago. He
returned to st. Louis in 1891 and in
1892 went to Cincinnati. where he
managed the Reds until 1895. During
this period in Cincinnati he met Ban
B. Johnson, newspaper man, and
the two became fast friends. In 1895
"Commy" placed Western league
team in St. Paul and in 1900 he trans
ferred the franchise to Chicago,
where with the aid of Mr. Johnson,
the Western league was expanded
league, with Mr.. johnson at its head.
Under, Mr.. Comiskeys ownership,
the Chicago White Sox, as his team
became known, have won three Amer
lean league championships and one
worlds championship. AS big league
magnate he is hailed everywhere as
the prince of club owners.
In the winter of 1913-1914, he and

description of the sturdy performance
of the Saxon cars, was brought home
this week by one of the observers,
who returned from the coast.
"Our first hint Of the interest that
the relay was attracting in the far
west came at Ely, New, which we
reached at 10 minutes Of 1900 one
night" said this observer eve had
seen crowds in the streets of the
small towns through Ohio and Penn
sylvania, and some people in the mid
die western states, but up to then We
had felt that the westerners were an
apathetic lot, tending to their own
business and caring little for what
was going on about them.
Coming into Ely after an all-day
trip across the great American des-
ert and the foothills of the Rockies,
we plunged down steep grade into
the center of the town. l was in the
front seat with the driver and, as our
headlights frightened the dimly light
ed street, l saw a mob of people
blocking the roadway.
"It's a fight, better slow up I eau
toned the driver, for we were hitting
about 10 miles an hour. He applied
the brakes and as We slid up to the
crowd, we saw it wasn't fight. It
was just the entire town waiting for
the race. They yelled at US to know
our time and as we changed to the
next relay car, we had to fairly fight
our way through the throng, besieg-
ed by questions. When the next car
started, three minutes later, the
crowd set up cheer that could be
heard for mile. n.
