It does beat the dickens. how grown up a high school youngster gets when he attires himself in a varsity sweater, throw out his chest and puts the family lid on the back of his head
 We know how it goes. cause one upon a time, a regular sweater or so was handed to us on platter, and Gee but how we grew. Felt as if all the girls in town were asking for dates etc.
 But the reason for bringing out this soliloquy is this, yesterday an ordina- rily attired high school lad, in the em- ploy of the sporting department of tn;s paper. asked permission to accompany the high school baseball team to Evans school Did he do it?
 He did not. The afrstocracy besweat- cred and be-lettered couldn't have SO ciety contaminated by one attred in ordinary coat and vest Sorrow reigns supreme in these parts. and it is with much regret, that the S. E. has had to call attention to snobbishness which exists in the high school

 Cleveland's great outfielder has been in the American league since the fall of 1908.

 Of course, you all give up, so there's the right dope.
 Speaker was born in Hubbard. Tex, on April f, 1888. so. that makes him 2S years old. and some of you fans thought he was an old man.
 The Indians are assured of at least five years of great ballplaying by Iris tram Speaker, possibly more, for he is splendid specimen of manhood today, and wise enough to take good care of himself.

 HIGH SCHOOL STRIKE OUT RECORD

Miller. pitching for Glendale High school. hua., up q new strikeout rec ord yesterday for high school hurlers. In the game which he pitched against Chandler yesterday afternoon, he now ed down 70 batters. IL is thought that. rightly so that it will be a good many long months before another youth hurl- ing for a high school aggregation equals or betters Miller's feat.
 The game belonged to Glendale all the way. Throughout the whole nine innings. Chandler only managed to garner one run. while Glendale romped over the home pan as often as neces- sary to make the total II runs.
 In addition to striking out % men, Miller added to the days festivities by making one hit and one run. He gave four bases on balls.

 The Willard Storage Battery company not only uses extreme care in the specification of oxides for their plates. but tests them. both chemically and by microscopic eX- animation.
 Thus they are able to secure OK ides in which the granular formation is rough and irregular, rather than smooth causing the individual grains to hold together much more closely and make a longer-liVed plate.

that Speaker is insured by the ball club againts both death and accident and the amount of insurance is $50,000.
 It was by taking a peek at the insur ance policy that the foregoing facts concerning Speaker were gleaned, and chat with the physician who exam ined the athlete bring to light the fact that Iris physical marvel, possess ing a wonderful constitution.
 Ii is perhaps not generally known that Speaker started out as a pitcher. This was in the fall of 1900 with the Cleburne club of the Northern Texas league. He drew the munificent salary of $50 month.
 When kid on the sand lots, Speaker started as right hand twirler and it was only by accident that he pegs left handed today.
 He was thrown from a horse which resulted in the fracture of two bones in the upper right arm and one in the lower. As soon as he could heave a ball without jarring his right side too much, Iris was out practicing with his left hand and even before the bones of his right arm were fully knit he had acquired enough mastery of the south paw delivery to be in demand again for the pickup games.
 Perhaps what he regarded as a ''jinx at the time saved Speaker from being mediocre pitcher instead of one of the greatest outfielders the game ever knew.

Fighting as he had never fouqht before, and putting up a brand of tennis which positively amazed spectators, young Chet Goldberg, high school lad in his teens, stacked up against Bill HorreII. champion of Arizona and the southwest at the Country Club courts yesterday afternoon, to play for the valley championship, and forced the veteran to go the limit, before darkness intervened, and forced the final set of the match over to today.
 Goldberg surprised the crowd when he took Horrel off his feet, and on the first set 6-4. The next set, Horrell warmed up, and won 6-1, completely showing under his youthful rival. The third set also went to Horrell, and 1t began to look as if Goldberg was doomed to defeat in a hurry. 1t IS necessary though to win three out of five, and HorrelI couldn't do it at least not yesterday, so the next set went to Goldberg 64.
 When darkness came down late m the afternoon, and forced ces- sation of play, the games in the last set stood three all.
 The two will play out the tie this afternoon. It IS expected that good sized gallery will be present, to see about the best brand Of tennis exhibited in Phoe- nix in some years.
 Another surprise was spruno during the day, when Horrel and Goldberg teaming in the doubles were defeated by Prayer and Mar shall. One of the best exhibitions of tennis Of the whole tournament was put on when Mrs. Ernest Lewis and Chester Goldberg, part ners in the mixed doubles, won out over Mel Fickas and Miss Chesney, the score being 6-8, 8-6, and 6-4.

Getting the student body present at the ball games is the big problem which now confronts the school Yes terday two machines took the boys to Evans school, and they were com pellecto Tide on the running board of the machine. Someone ought to get busy and let loose of some of the money that was earned Dr the other activities The ball team and Coach Parker are always yelling their heads off why the students refuse to come out to the games. They cannot walk out to them. The school is large and big enough to hire machines. There is not one high school in the state that does not have at least a few machines for the roOters Glendale ana Tempe willingly go to the ex- pense of hireing them wher in perdictment of this kind Organize first, before you yell again about the poor crowds at the ball games.
 How does it taste fellows. A nice soothing smoke. Only thirty days to use them. Are you 21 years of age2 If not, you are out of luck when 1t comes to using tobacco. The senate passed a bill that all minors will be convicted for purchasing it. The mere using of tobacco will be con- trary 10 the new law.

 Next thing they will dc to the Coyotes is tp have them carrying guns on their shoulders.

Rome FEB. S.-A warning from
the vatican has been sent to the kaiser
and the emperor of Austria Hungary
declaring that the decision to report
70 general submarine warfare would
ALLEVIATE the sympathies of the pope as
well as of neutrals. Such warfare, the
warning added, would justify reprisals
by the allies and a demand for the
and the dual monarchy after the war.

Born in Philadelphia of Scotch
and Irish Parents.
International Law Experts and
q. S. Officials Disagree.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The O'Donnell
children are not American citizens,
state department officials held today.
Their parents were British subjects
they themselves could have elected,
when they became of age, whether
they should be American citizens or
British subjects.
Inasmuch as the O'Donnell children
never made the choice of citizenship,
it cannot now be claimed that because
CT their American birth they were
American citizens, authorities held to-
day.
Washington, Feb. 9-Consul Frost,
Queenstown, reported officially to the
state department today that George
Washington, negro, killed in the tor
pedoing of the Turino yesterday, was
born in Alberta, Canada, and was APP
parently a British subject
London, Feb. George Washing
ton, negro fireman on the steamship
Turino, killed in the unwarned Ger
man submarine attack on that vessel
yesterday, was probably not an Amer
lean citizen. The American consul at
Liverpool formally reported to the
embassy here today that first reports
to this effect were apparently erro-
neouS. The consul said Washington
was resident of Liverpool, had never
registered as an alien there, and it was
understood he was born in Alberta.
The dispatch indicated the consul
was making a careful investigation of
the negroes status. According to war
laws, all Americans, being aliens, are
forced to register in England, and it
is assumed here that if Washington
did not SO register, he must have con-
WINGED British officials that he was
not an alien but a citizen.
O'DonnelI Children Americans.
Philadelphia, Feb. 9.-Two children
of foreign-born parents but them
potentially Americans, according to in
ternational lawyers, were lost in the
torpedoing of the liner California by
a German submarine.
They were James and Mary O'Don-
nell, and years old. With their
mother, Mrs. Mary J. O'Donnell, and
a brother, Cornelius, Is, they were re-
turning to Scotland to visit their
grandmother. Mrs. O'Donnell and
the two children are missing and be-
Heved lost, but Cornelius was saved
Mrs. O'Donnell was born in Scot
land and her husband in Ireland
O'Donnell never took out naturaliza-
ton papers. They had lived in South
Philadelphia for eighteen years and
all three children were born there
They were baptized by the Rev. F. X
Curran, rector of st. Anthony's Cath
Ole church, this city.
James, at the age of 21, could have
registered as a voter in Philadelphia,
tho it was stated that he could also.
thru a technicality of the law, have
chosen to become a British subject
too.
international lawyers here declared
that under the law a child of foreign
parents but born in this country may.
at the age of maturity, choose either
the olrthright of his parents country
or that in which he was born.

street, defendant in separate main
tenance and alimony action brought.
by his wife, Bette Wiburg, appeared at
the office of Mrs. Mary Chaplin, clerk
of the district court, today, a plain,
gold band ring in his hands
My wife demands this ring she

you to givs it to her. 1t was given to
her twenty-five years ago by her
mother, and 1 guess she wants to save
the expense of buying another ring to

So Mrs. Chaplin has the ring ready
for Mrs. Wiburg. Wiburg is the owner
of considerable property and the court
has issued restraining order making
it impossible for him to transfer any
property until the divorce suit is set
tied. Extreme cruelty is alleged in
Mrs. Wiberg's petition. They were
married in Topeka, June 16, 1914
