 Fred Mitchell, whose real name, by the way, is Yapp, began as a pitcher and was working in that capacity for the Red Sox when they turned him into a catcher, Later he joined the Tanks.
 In private life Mitchell takes an active interest in politics and is looked upon as quite a leader His knowledge of men in all walks of life has been big help to him already in building up the Cubs. He knows enough not to be brash.
 I've got quite a job before me- he said before leaving for Chicago, and I'm going to take my time. To construct club one must be very careful. The add ing of strength in one place Will often weaken in another.
 Baseball people throughout the coun- try were genuinely happy when it was announced that Mitchell at last had got a chance to show what he could do as a manager. Fred is immensely liked by everybody.
 Jack Barry is a quiet thoughtful fel- low, but he has never been much of mixer. He takes baseball very seriously and plans everything deliberately. Moth ing is guesswork with him, and he does not jump at conclusions. The best way to describe him is as typical ball player of the Connie Mack type.
 It was Barry's wonderful work in help ing Carrigan direct the Red Sox during the time that he was laid up with in jury that caused him to be suggested as manager Carrigan was enthusiastic about Barry when Owner Frazee asked advice of the former manager.

With the beautifully impressive
ceremonies prescribed by the church
for such occasions, the corner stone
Of the new Church of the Incarnation
was laid last Sunday afternoon by
Archbishop Ireland. The congregation,
of which Rev. j. M. Cleary is the
pastor, turned out enmasse to witness
the interesting scene, and these were
supplemented by thousands of visitors
from other parts of the city, who took
occasion to- show their appreciation of
Father Clearys public services by par
ticipating in the services. More than
twenty of the clergy of the Twin
Cities were in attendance and lent
their assistance in the ritualistic pro-
gram. The venerable Archbishop
beamed with joy as he proceeded to
the preliminary function of the appro-
priation of new edifice to the wor-
ship Of God, and his sermon was de-
livered with fervor and strength. It
was quite evident that he was pleased

become forgetful Of the meaning Of

corruption and materialism, and must
be brought back to a realization of the

Next came the choir of twenty
priests, led by Rev. T. E. Cullen and
Rev. F. x. Bajec of St. Paul, in ad-

the prescribed prayer and sprinkling
it with holy water the litany of the

Study Of Irish History
Meeting at Home of Mrs. Anna x.
Bryant, President Ladies' Auxiliary
A. o. II. Considers Means to
Promote II.

At the home of Mrs. Anna K. Bry-
ant, 3414 Girard avenue SOUTH an in
formal gathering was held for the pur-
pose of considering ways and means of
promoting the study of Irish history
in the public and parochial schools of
America. This subject has engaged
the attention of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and the Ladies' Auxiliary
during the past few years and the
movement in it's support has been
gaining increased momentum from
month to month. Much ground has al
ready been gained by those who have
undertaken to remedy the condition of
neglect which has hitherto prevailed
in the matter, it was found that teach
ers both in the parochial and public
institutions were eagerly receptive to
suggestions tending to point out ways
and means by which Irish history
could be brought into the curricula
of the schools. In many of these steps
have alreay been taken to supply the
palpable neglect of this important and
interesting study.
Among those who addressed the as
semblage at Mrs. Bryant's home were:
Mr. p. ]. O'Donnell state secretary of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians;
Joseph l.. Murphy, Esq. of the Irish
Standard, and Mr.. Shelly of Canada,
who has charge of this work in Winni-
peg, all of whom strongly endorsed the
purpose of the movement and contrib
uted valuable suggestions for it's ad-
vancement.
Mr.. Shelly recounted the progress
that had been made in Winnipeg in
the matter and described in detail the
methods adopted to secure the intro
duction of the subject in the schools.
Prizes are offered for excellence at
tanned by the pupils in each school,
the first prize being gold medal, and
the others substantial articles, such as
will arouse the interest of boys and
girls. Generally these are offered to
seventh and eighth grade pupils and
to the pupils of the high schools. The
examinations to determine the win
ners are conducted by the Ladies' Aux
iliary and Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans and generally cover the period
of the last seven hundred years of
Irish history. These courses are al
ready established in six of the paro-
chial schools of Winnipeg, and have at
tanned marked popularity and success
Mrs. Bryant spoke enthusiastically
of the project and promised to give
it the attention it deserves, and that
announcement would be made of plans
for it's further discussion, in the near
future.
| The ladies of the auxiliary are to
be highly commended for their ener-
getic progress in the direction of pro-
motion of educational and cultural
measures and it will do no harm to
call the attention of the masculine
wing of the organization to this fact.
Gentlemen, do not let the ladies mon

that the cause of Irish freedom had
