ASK FUND FOR poRmIroRY.
Christian Reformed College After
$4,000 For New BUILDING.

Special to Times-Republican.
Grundy Center, April IA large and
enthusiastic mass meeting was held at
the Christian Reformed College this
week for the purpose of arranging for
the erection of a new dormitory for the
college. In the short time that the
college has been running it has out
grown its room and DR. Bode, its presi-
dent, felt the urgent need of a new DOR
mitory, so the mass meeting was ar
ranged for.
1t is planned to build $4,000 dor
mitory on the college grounds. In a
few minutes the business men present
subscribed over $1,000, and on account
of other functions in :, the town the
same evening many Of the business
men were not present. 1t Is thought
that with their additions to the do
nations made at the mass meeting that
this town will start the dormitory fund
with $4,000.
Dr. Bode will then make a canvass
elsewhere for the balance of the fund
and he feels confident that he will have
no trouble in securing the necessary
funds AS soon as he has secured
SIS 900 toward the fund. he expects to
start the building. He has about 200
students in view for next year If the
dormitory is built and that is splen-
did showing for a school but one year
old.

EvERs REMAINS IN GAME.
Johnny Has Ambition TO 30 Grand Old
Man Of Baseball,

Chicago. April 7.---Rumors that John
ny Evers was anxious to quit the game
were set at rest recently when Johnny
declared IL was his ambition to play
ball long enough to be the oldest play
or in point OF service In the league.
Evers said that since Mathewson has
retired from the active ranks and be-
come bench warmer. Honus Wagner
Is the holder Of the service record, with
Evers the runner-up.
II have seen all the men except Wac
ner who were in the league when l
broke in pass from active service. One
by one they have gone and Wagner
cannot go on forever
Evers told an interesting story of the
troubles he had "brealling in" the big
show He weighed l05 pounds. Sew
cral Of the baseball writer's remarked
that 1t was a shame to allow so frail
a hoy to play. Evers played his best
| ball when he weighed about 1875 pounds
and was a member of the Cub machine.
Il started playing with the Cubs In
1902" Evers said. I've were In Pitts
| burgh. and had to jump back to Chi
cago for a Sunday game. Our first
| haseman was injured and Frank
| Chance, who was catching. was sent
| to first. Frank didn't care much about
| playing that bag. Before the game
got far along the catcher who took
Chances place, was hurt and Chance
went behind the plate again. Robert
Lowe, who was our regular second
basemau was ordered to cover the ini-
tial sack by Manager Frank Seeley.
1 NJ l..l s.I.l
er and .Seeley sent me to second.
Il was new at the game and Phillip,
who was pitching for the Pirates. did
not know how to pitch to me. AS re-
suit | made three hits and drove in a
couple Of rams. The play which think
attracted the attention of our man.
| ager was pulled or Wagner. ionlis
was on first base. The next batter
| cracked one down In my direction and
| came in on the ball Wagner ran be-
hind me. The man going to first was
almost there and l realized l had no
chance to get him. However. 1 made
blum throw to first and Wagner, think
ing | was going to go thru with my
throw, rounded second and made for
third | turned quickly and shot the
ball to third and got Honus by ten
feet.
THAT play I will always believe was
what gave me N.Y. start as big
leagur. The writer's who thought l
wouldn't do began to praise me and
this acted as an incentive. Seeley told
me afterwards that probably would
make ball player If could only hit.
I got orders to get out every morning
and practice batting. Some pitcher
would pitch to me for about an hour
each day"
Fellow players credit much OF Evers'
| success to his Willingness to learn. He
! always is ready to hear a suggestion
from another player or a fan or a base
ball writer, and he devotes much time
to reading the baseball news in the
daily papers to see what criticism is
| made and then see to It that he does
not allow the same fault to happen
again. Evers says: Baseball Is my
business, I am always ready to see and
study it from all angles"
