CHASE is BIG FACTOR
Has Been Playing in American
League Twelve Years.
one.Time Yankee Star Has Supplied
More impetus to Reds Than Any
Other Player--Temperament
Causes Much Trouble.

Time has been lenicnt with Hell
Chase. once the idol of New York fan
dom. For IL years he has been cam
paigning along the major league trail,
but not yet does he have to doff his
cap to the newer stars. The Sisters,
Pipps and Hokes of a later day still
have far to go before they can out
shine the battle-scarred Redlander.
Chase has been an inspiration to the
Reds. Next to Matty. the one-time Yam
kee star has supplied more impetus to
the Cincinnati drive than any other
player on the club. He has become
the pivot about which the Redlnnd ma
chine revolves.
Hal Chase ranks with Jack Coombs
as one of the greatest "cOme.backs' In
the history of baseball. On more than
one occasion his major league requiem
has been read, but today he Is back on
the upper course, performing with all
the old agility ana easy grace that
made him one of the most popular play
ers in the country in the years of his
service with the Yankees.
Chase is one of those high-strung,
temperamental ball players. In the
past his temperament has caused him
a deal of trouble. At times It upset his
playing so that 1t looked as If he were
on the soapy chutes headed toward the
minors. But Chase seems to have over
come his erratic ways to a great ex-
tent.
He seems to be more content with
his surroundings on the Cincinnati
team than he ever was while mem
Der of the Yankees, the White Sox and
later In the now defunct Federal
league.
He is playing steady baseball. Day
in and day out he Is continually striv'

oaw<y Michigan Pitcher Who Could
Fool Ty Cobb Is Given Chance

Hughie Jennings, manager of the
Tigers, recently had letter from n
Michigan pitcher who stated that he
could strike out Ty Cobb three times
out Of four trips to the plate. 1t only
cost $3.50 to get Il peep mt this pitcher
and, working on the old motto that you
never can tell, Jennings forwarded the

all joints and bone.
Cobb was called and he faced the

whacked against the right-field wall.
The next was good for four bags when
Ty pasted 1t, and the third flew to
deep center and was Il four-ply shot.

Christy Mathewson regards him as

Chase been pounding the ball ut close

of the Braves Is quoted as saying that
Ward has the makings Of one Of the
greatest infelders in the game, and
when he says infielder he means that

Here's further tribute to baseball
as n civilizer: The Japanese govern
ment, it is reported, plans to send two
college teams in tour of its territory
in Manchuria, partly to make the Jap

the home land, and further to get the
natives interested so that they viii

ANCIENT DEMONSTRATIONS

Meteorology as science is in its
infancy, but as a branch OF knowl-
edge it is perhaps, as old as man
kind. The beginnings of meteorology
are to be found at the origin or civil
ization. II would be error TO imag-
Inc that the rich weather lore found
I'm the Bible, especially in the book
of Job. and in the poems OF Homer
and Hesiod. originated then in Pales-
tine or Greece on the contrary the
familiarity of the people with the
savings and rules concerning the
weather revealed by these writings
show clearly that they must be con-
sidered as primeval stock of the
culture OF that time. There is rea-
son to believe that the origin of much
OF modern weather lore can be traced
to its -Germanic source. The
Greeks as far back as the fifth CEN
tury b. c. were the first to make
regular meteorology observations,
some results of which are still pre-
served. Their great capacity for
pure science induced them to pro-
pound meteorology theories. At this
time they used wind vanes, and in
the first century B. c. they built the
Tower Of the Wind at Athens. The
first quantitative observations-that
is, the measurement of rain-were
made in the first century A. ID. These
were made in Palestine and their re-
suits are preserved in the Mishnah.
Meteorology made but little progress

DO NOT NEED MEN.

Some one, urged by more enthusi-

Rested that the presence Of American
troops in Russia would restore the

them to win such victories AS they

not demoralized by internal dlssen-
sion. Possibly such "A scheme might

widely apart In their conceptions and
