Few OIdtimers FASTENING il
American League.
Terry, Cobb and Collins Are the
Oldest Players.

New York. Sept. 11.-Slnce Eddie
Plank, Sam Crawford ard Nap Lajoie
have been counted cut of active COM
petition in the American league, the
veteran class in that orga .Izatlon has
simmered down to just few players,
none of whom has spent more than
thirteen years in the big snow. Thir-
teen years is a lot oI tim but when
considered alongside the records of
Lajoie. Wagner and a few others of
that ilk they fade a way.
Not many persons woul5 admit that
Terry Turner of tie Cleveland In
dams, is the oldest ..:aye- in point of
playing years now N thc American
league. but he is. Terry made his ad-
vent into the exclusive Johnson cir
cult in 1904, going from Columbus.
For years he was a regular with the
old Blues. sometimes as an outfielder
and sometimes as an, infielder He
never was heavy hitter. but his rec
ord would make any ambitious young
ster jealous: His best season with the
bat was in 1912 when he hit sos.
Leaving Terry, it is discovered that
Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and Clyde Mi
Ian are the oldest players. Young
sters, they are considered by a great
many persons who see tn cir activities
on the field.
Cobb has been member of Hugh
Jenningss Detroit Tigers for twelve
years. He never has played with an
other big league club Collins has
been a big Lacquer eleven years His
activities have been confined to Phil
adelphia and Chicago
Clyde Milan left Wichita, Kan, ten
years ago to take up the business OF
baseball under Clarke Griffith and
he has enjoyed most brilliant ca
reer. Other veterans still sojournins
in the American League are Jack
Barry, Ownie Bush, Frank Baker anG
Iris Speaker.
All Good Men Yet.
Not a one of those generally recog-
nized in the records as oldtimers is
really considered in that light. anC
with only one or two exceptions. it is
proba BILE the entire list will be there
for years to come. Cobb, particularly
| looks good for at least ten more years
if he continues to care for himself a.
in the past.

ARE PLEASED
At ST. PAUL

Mrs. Jennie Peck has received let
ter from her daughter, Miss Cora Peck,
which in part reads as follows:
An interesting letter received from
Miss Cora Peck, who went to st. Paul
last week to take a position in the 7.
w. c. A, tells something of the details
of the work there. Miss Della Payne
of Baraboo is in charge of the cafe
terra, and Miss Peck is her assistant
making the two young ladies entirely
responsible for the management. Their
work requires them to "be on the job"
early in the morning and see that the
kitchen employees are also on the job.
Miss Cora wrote that the morning
when it was her turn to get down at
6 a. M, one of the cooks was absent,
and she had to make cream Of rye for
200 girls She also has to check the
trays of food received by the girls,
giving them the proper check for their
purchases, to be presented to the cash
Ter. Other duties are those OF signing
for food supplies purchased and max
ing out the daily menus. One day
each week she is left alone and has
entire charge while Miss Payne has
the day off, and who is also left alone
on the day Miss Peck has off. She
mentioned buying her meats for that
day, purchasing Is pounds Of pork, 5
pounds of weiners and two soup bones.
She also spoke of the great advantages
of the Y. w. G. A which are availa-
BILE to the so girls stopping there, such
as classes of study in almost anything
they wish to take up, including class
in war work. They are required to at
tend chapel services every morning,
She said they serve meals to 200 girls
three times a day. The place is a
most desirable one for girls to stay,
and the help employed are girls of
good character.

STIRRING APPEAL
FOR LOYALTY

Under the auspices of the National
Liberty Loan committee, Rev. James
L. Freeman of Minneapolis addressed
the citizens of Baraboo on Wednesday
evening in stirring words of patriot
ism. He spoke in the courthouse at
1870 and was introduced to a large
audience assembled in the Al. Ring
ling theatre at 8 o'clock by T. F. Ris-
ley.
The performance announced for the
evening, the famous play, Polly OF
the Circus" was delayed to accom-
modate Mr.. Freeman, who found it
more convenient to speak before the
showing of the film instead Of follow
ing it, as had been arranged.
Mr.. Freeman's words carried the
conviction that America is in the war
to aid the cause of liberty. His appeal
was that every American should help
to hasten the end by Loyalty support
ing our government. With strong
words he forced facts home to his
hearers, pleading eloquently for the

CLUB DISCUSSES
THE JAP ANESE

Rev. E. c.. Henke, before the Fort
nightly Literary club at the Presby-
terrain manse on Friday evening, said
that when the awakening came iii ia
pan it was a modern miracle. Japan
has produced many great men, are
Hughtful, progressive and are
termed the Yankees of the Orient. AL
though a hereditary monarchy pre-
walls, the government is virtually
democracy The speaker says the peo-
ple are kindly and in war do not VIC
late Red Cross and other agreements
as the central powers of Europe have
been doing. The people have Initial
i've and readily incorporate ideas from
other nations.
Cause of Prejudice
Mr.. Henke believes that much OF
the prejudice against the Japanese in
this country is because of the moving
pictures shown, this no doubt being
the result of some hidden influence.
He discussed their entrance into
Korea and was inclined to believe
they are trying to give that people
Just government They amalgamated
readily with the Koreans.
China and Japan
There are about 400 million people
in China and SIS million in Japan
The thought that Japan desires to sub
iugate China should be derided. On
account of trade it is only the desire
of Japan to keep on friendly terms
with ner neighbor.
Appreciates the United States
That the japanese had built mon
ument to Commodore Perry, that they
are kind to the missionaries from this
country and that they were pleased to
be treated as equals when the treaty
was made at the end Of the RussO-Jap-
anese war, was sufficient evidence,
the speaker thought, to believe that
Japan had none but the best inten-
tons toward the United States.
He showed why it is necessary for
them to trade with this country, and
believed that Germany was the cause
of the little friction that exists. All
the Japanese ask is to be treated as
other nations He pointed out the
best path for these people is between
radicalism and conservatism.
Personal Experience
J. w. Wright, who had charge OF
construction of the new st. Paul line
in the west, told of his experiences
with the japanese. They are anxious
to learn, are clearly and active.
1t was pointed out that on account
of these people desiring social equality
ity in some sections of California there
is friction. CaucaSians do net desire
those of the yellow race living next
door. A law has been passed that
those born in Japan cannot buy prop
erty, but their children are doing so,
which eyades the statutes.

When the kaiser addressed his troops
at the beginning, he told them they
would come back victorious before the
leaves fell. TIE leaves fell in 1914
1915, 1916 and 1917, and, by the grace
of God, the speaker declared, they
would never fail for a victorious Prus-
sian machine.
He told those present how they
were following false gods and why
they should rally round the flag
buy bonds.

To Complete Gaps
Sank county is entitled to about
$4,000 Of state aid under the regular
state aid law. aside from their inter
ests in the state trunk highway approp-
ration. Fifty per cent of this amount,
together with certain county funds
must be expended on the state trunk
highway system, in addition to the
federal, state and county funds before
mentioned, until such state trunk sys-
tenn is completed. This provision in
the state aid law will make it possible
to complete all the gaps in Sank
county in a very limited number Of
years
The main features, as we see them
in the state trunk highway law, are
that the gaps in the main roads of
each county will be improved and that
the entire system in each county must
be maintained in al adequate manner.
When this is done, we are sure that
this law will have done more for the
state Of Wisconsin than any law here
tofOre enacted.

that two prisoners, Sedrick White

The first trace of the men was found
