What! Me Not Make Good!
Ha! Ha! Laughs Little Harry

PASADENA, CAL, March 15.-
what, me not make good with
that team? You've got another
guess coming"
Thus spoke Harry VOTERS,
turned over by Frank Chance from
the Los Angeles Pacific Coast
leaguers to his old team, the Chi
cago Cubs.
VOTERS is the exception that
makes the "Busher" breed run
true to form. His is not the part
of the shrinking violet, the bash
full beau or the coy maiden. oh,
no! At the Cub headquarters in
Pasadena the rest of the raw re-
|cruits are battling valiantly for
regular jobs with inward prayer
and considerable outward quaking.
And VOTERS is battling, too.
But none of this shy, retiring stuff
for him.
''When / can't make a reg
ular job with any team i'm the
National league, I'm through
with baseball" he said from
the bench the other day.
"There is only one thing
that will prevent me from be-
coming a Cub Outfielder this
year. And that is the salary.
II they don't pay me the
money I'm worth to major
league club, I'll play some-
where else" :.
Wolters was regarded as the
best outfielder In the Pacific Coast
league in 1915, and also in 1916.
He played wonderful ball in 1915,
clouting 1867 for the Los Angeles
team.
In 1915 business reverses took
his mind off baseball, but even at
that he hung up batting record
of .297. He lost a fortune of many
thousand dollars. Experts agreed
that he would have led the league
but for his misfortune.
Chance believes that VOTERS,
lplaying In his old team, will set
the National league on fire this
season.

Speaking about solving a problem
and arriving at a happy solution,
here's the best one yet:
w. G. Schroeder, proprietor of
Schroeder's grocery, corner Mime
sofa avenue and Fourth street, is of
the nationality his name would sug-
gest. He is also the owner of the
building wherein is his place of
business. One of the largest ten
ants of the building is the Clark Pole
& Tie company, of which III. M.
Clark, head of the company, is also
the president Of the city council,
and comes from English parentage.
The floating of the nations colors
are much in vogue in Bemidji but
none has been afloat atop the Schroe-
der building, not through any lack
of patriotism but simply because
there was nothing from which a flag
could be flown. Now then, England
and Germany got together. Mr..
Schroeder win erect pole, because
it is his property, and Mr.. Clark
will furnish the flag and Old Glory
will wave over both the grocery and
the offices of the Clark Pole & Tie
company.
