BASEBALL Stars
Slated TO WORK
IN GAME TODAY
Plank, Brown and Sisler In
cluded in Line Ups of
Both Teams.

| Everything is ready for today's
game between The Columbus Sena-
tors and the st. Louis Browns. The
contest will start at 2:30 o'clock.
Mordecai Brown, scheduled to start
the postponed game with the Cincin-
natl Reds, will work the first three
innings of today's contest, and will be
followed by Kahler. Catchers Cole
man and LaLonge will both be used
by Manager Tinker.
1t has not been definitely announced
who will pitch for Fielder Jones'
club, but Eddie Plank is expected to
participate in today's game, if only
for one or two innings. Koob and
Weilman also may show, while Hale
and SEVERED will likely do the catch
ing.
The following are the batting or
ders:
Browns--Yardley or Shotten, left
field; Miller, right field; Sisler, first
base; Kenworthy, second base; Mar
sans, center field; Austin, third base;
Stevenson or Lavan, shortstop; Hale.
SEVERED, catchers; Plank, Koob, Well
man, Hamilton, pitchers.
Senators-Barney, center field; Wit
ter, left field; Johns, second base;
Dimmitt, right field McCarty, first
base; Tinker, third base; Gerber,
shortstop; Coleman, LaLonge, catch
crs; Brown, Kahler, Curtis, pitchers.
Jones Wonderful Leader.
Fielder Jones is perhaps the most
unique OF all baseball leaders, as
shown by his winning the American
league pennant and the worlds cham
pionship with the "hitless wonders"
the Chicago White Sox, in 1906. The
way Jones' team, the Chicago White
Sox, won the pennant in Ban john
sons organization is we'll remembered,
even after lapse of more than 10
years, and still more clearly do the
fans remember how Fielder Jones
walked off with the worlds series
from Frank Chances Chicago Cubs,
principally because recruit from
New Orleans, yellow-haired George
Robe, shone brilliantly at third base
and with the bat, being virtually the
only star of that series.
Joe Tinker and Mordecad Brown re-
member that worlds series we'll, and
Fielder Jones is likely to enjoy some
"reminiscences with them during his
STAY here. Never before has a team
done what the White Sox did in 1906,
and the men who had important part
in those doings doubtless will enjoy
talking over old times. :.
Sisler, an Ohio boy, graduate Of the
University of Michigan, will be an at
traction at today's game. He is con-
sidered one of the very best first sack
ers in the game today. Jimmy Austin
viii cover third for the Browns, and
the fans all know him by reputation
He is also an Ohio boy, as IS Ken
worthy, hence the Columbus folk are
particularly interested in those play
ers. Marsans, the Cuban, Will play
center, and Pine Bluff fans will be
able to see one OF the many stars
developed by the island republic.

COAST GUARDS SAVED DEER
Through Ice, Revived lt and Set It Free.

Humanitarian activities of the coast guard extend to the saving of wild animal life. A deer chased by dogs attempted to cross the ice, crashed in, was rescued, nearly done for, by the coast guard crew of the station at Quonochontaug, R. l.: was taken into the station boat and thence to the sta- tion; was worked over until 1t re- vived, and then was set at liberty.
 The tale comes in the report of the keeper of the station. The incl dent happened on the morning of Jan uary 3, when, about ten o'clock, the station crew sighted the deer, pursued by dogs, crossing a marsh about half mile away. The hunted animal at- tempted to cross q pond on thin and rotten ice. It was observed to fall through, and try in vain to extricate itself.
 Three surfmen launched a small siiff and reached the deer after an hours work in breaking through the Ice. The deer was nearly dead from its struggle in the icy water.
