 name to him, Pat" and this is how he will be known in the Baron camp this year. Pat hasn't been in baseball so very long, hut he's been in the game long enough to know what's necessary Pat began his professional career in 1912 with Ironton, which was then in the Noun
 tain State league. Pat didn't hesitate
 about breaking in the game properly and he consequently had a good year. In 1913, Pat advanced a peg He went to Flint in the South Michigan league
 and played there the entire season. With
 Flint he also had a good year. The following year Pat was traded to Battle Creek in the same league whel le he
 had his banner year. He batted well and fielded like demon. Consequently he was bought by the Pittsburg Pirates. Pat wasn't ripe for the majors then and he vas farmed back to Battle Creek by the Pirates.
 Pat pastimed 1915 with Battle Creek and in 1916 he was sent to Grand Rapids by the Pirates
 Moley drafted Pat from Grand Rapids Pat has never hit below the coveted 300
 mark in any league he has been in and he's confident he will be able to smash the old pill around the Southern league lots equally as effective Pats no spring hitter and it takes the real baseball | months to make him deliver the needed swats.

 Moley thinks a lot of Pat. True, he may be a little weak on fielding, but ha shows no signs of weakness in the field now. Pat hasn't walloped the old bal very much during the exhibition games, but when the real contest begins. Pat vii be expected to deliver his quota of safe ties.
 Pat will play the middle garden for Mo ley. He likes Moley's tactics and wants to play under his directions. He doesn look like a spring blossom" and conse- quently the fans can expect to see Sir Patrick one of the reliables on Moley' S machine.

|, LIBERTY LOAN
 BOND ISSUE, IN
 NEXT FEW DAYS

A wire received yesterday by the First National bank indicates that the government is preparing for another issue of Liberty Loan bonds in the near future. The wire was from the federal reserve bank at San Francisco and was ln answer to q message sent by the First National relative to the time of delivery of bonds. It was as follows:
 Delivery Liberty Bonds begins September 26, as new issue will bear higher rate of interest; not de sirable that deliveries be made where another exchange will be necessary to obtain bonds with higher rate of interest"
 At the time of the call for the first Liberty Loan it was stated that when the second call was made the bonds issued would bear a higher rate of interest. It is therefore pre- suned that that has been the req son for the holding back of delivery of the first issue. The first bonds called for interest at the rate of three and one-half per cent, Just what rate of interest the next issue will bear is not known, but it is certain to be higher than the last.
 Nothing has as yet been definitely stated regarding the time during which the next issue of Liberty Loan bonds may be purchased, but it is expected to be short; not longer than twenty or twenty five days. For this reason all who desire to pur chase bonds are advised to make ap- plication now at the First National bank
