thought 1t was because she

since that she kisses every
fellow she happens to be out
with. About a year ago she
invited me to go fishing and
wore a pair of overalls. You
can imagine how a fat girl
looks in overalls. All the
love l had for her died. I
could not help myself. Every
one we met either laughed or

Her people gave lifeblood and treasure

years ago today. Nov. Is, 1911, that
Sam White made himself immortal.
Sam had been a great baseball play

when he was a senior, that he was in

EVERS LOOKING FOR
A MANAGERIAL JOB

John J. Evers is a free agent and
looking for a job-a state which is
rather unusual for the once greatest
National League second baseman. 1t
develops that Evers got his uncondi-
tional release from the Phillies at the
end of the recent season. That was
his agreement with William F. Baker
when he Joined the club.
Evers came to Philadelphia last
July, the club assuming the contract
he had with the Braves. Evers did
not do much with the Phi1hes and de-
monstrated beyond all cavil that as a
major league player he was done.
Some weeks before Miller Higgins got
the place it was reported that Evers
was under consideration for the man
agership of the Yankees.
Evers quits the Phillies after six
teen years of service in the National
League. He came to Chicago as a
shortstop from Troy of the New York
State League in 1902. He enjoyed
his best season in 1908, when for the
only time in his career he hit 800.

EASY WORK FOR FITz.

Quite a number of stories in con-
nection with the career of the late
Bob Fitzsimmons are going the rounds
these days. Among them is the tale
of Bob's knocking out Jack Hickey.
Hickey was one of the easiest PROPOSE
tons that Fitzsimmons ever faced, and
it was back in 1893 at Newark, N.
J., that Bob planted one on Hickey's
physog that sent him to sleep.
Hickey appeared one bright day
and announced that he had just ar
rived from Ireland, where he claimed
to have won the middleweight cham
pionship. He got a lot Of advertis-
ing, and it was not long before he
challenged Fitz, who was quite ac-
commodating in the matter of ac-
cepting the def. When he entered
the ring Bob made the fans roar with
laughter while he turned his back and
ran away from Hickey for two
rounds.
In the third round Bob decided to
get down to business and sidestepping
one Of Hickey's wild rushes, planted
his fist in the Irishman's breadbasket.
Hickey went down and out and it
took him twenty minutes to come to
his senses. When he opened his eyes
the house was empty, but Hickey
didn't even know he was licked. and
even started to jaw his Disguised
handlers for throwing up the sponge.
