staying a few days in the Canon City
district they return to Pueblo.
He declared that from reports OF
automobile parties. Pueblo is reoeiv.
ing the bulk of the tourist business
this year. That il there Is an incrcas
ed number of tourists passing thru
Pueblo than almost any city of the
state. This is because the city is 80
situated that highways from practical
ly all sections of the country pass
thru here.
In speaking of the fruit crop at Can.
on City. Mr., Bradbury stated that
there was about go per cent OF tho
normal crop in that district There
has been nc great shortage of labor
beeai,sa oi cooperation system put
into effect whereby the farmers ex
change labor.
There has been some labor shortage
in the Penrose district. he said. which
is because OF the greater proportion
of the farmers in that district being
raisers of fruit.-Puebio Chieftain.

MOTOR DRIVERS WANTED
BY RED CROSS For
SERVICE ABROAD

Word has been received at the of.
flee of Canon City chapter OF the Red
Cross from Washington that twenty
experienced motor truck drivers. t@a
helpers and twenty expert mechanics
are needed at once by the American
Red Cross for service along the west
ern war front in Europe. This re-
quest for volunteers comes in a cable
message to the Red Cross War coun-
ell from Major Grayson NJ. =. Muir
ply, who has charge Of the Red Cross
mission in France.
The mechanical squad will -inc;ude
master carpenters. body builders.
painters machinists and electricians
two each. The trucks for which driv-
ers are sought are OF two-ton capacity
and will be used in the rapid transfer
Of Red Cross supplies from seaports
TO their destinations service made
necessary by the congested condition
of the railroads in France.
Volunteers beyond military age
have been asked for this service by
the American Red Cross TO work
without compensation and Red Cross
officials are hopeful that employers OF
motor drivers and the other expert
help required win contribute the ser
vices OF the men paying their salaries
while in Red Cross service. :
The Red Cross VIII pay the trans.
portation and living expenses OF the
men while abroad. II is the intention
when the men are recruited TO give
them intensive mechanical ira ming
some drill and II possible some pre-
liminary instruction in the French Ian
guage.
This contribution to the American
Red Cross by employers of skilled la
Dor would be similar to the contribu
tons of large organizations to the Red
Cross staff at headquarters which in
ciudes nearly seventy-fve volunteers
many OF them are paid by outside or.
eanizations while working for the
Red Cross.
Offers of assistance along the line
of these Red Cross needs should be
made TO A. w. Staub. director Of the
Atlantic division OF the American Red
Cross. Metropolitan Tower. New
York City, or to the nearest Red
Cross chapter.

Tho biggest financial bonus Of the base
ball year Is to be distributed In the
form of a division of the gate re-
ceipts of the world series games. When
the New York National and Chicago
American League players receive their
share of the money, paid in the form
OF admission charges by the thousands
of spectators who will attend the con-
tests. they will be able to deposit to
larger than the yearly income of many
of the fans who Will witness the play.
The players will not be the only ones
to profit, however, for the club owners
and the national commission also come
in for a percentage of the receipts,
which are expected to exceed a quarter
of a million dollars this season. Under
the rules of the latter body. which have
governed the world series since 1905.
the division is made in the following
manner: The national commission re-
ceives 10 per cent of the receipts of
each and every game played by the
contending clubs: the remaining 80 per
cent of the first four games is divided
upon basis of two-thirds to the play
ers of the contesting clubs and one
third to the club owners. With the
playing of the fourth game the players
cease to share in the receipts and the
two clubs involved divide the receipts
equally, after the national commission
has taken it's 10 per cent. The players
share of the world series funds are ap-
portioned upon a basis of 60 per cent
to the winner and 40 per cent to the
loser. while the two clubs as corpora
tions are required to contribute GER

HOW LEIBOLD AND McMJLITN

Manager Rowland said the other day.
told him once to have his swing. to
swing late, to crowd the plate and
ago. and I have yet TO note a time
that the runner was going that Mac
did not come through with his end Of
the play"
Incidentally. this is one of the rea-
sons why McMullin has remained in
the lineup. 1t was a difficult matter
to keep a man of Weavers speed on
the bench. Weaver this year has hit
close to 300 most of the time and is
fast. Groans ascended when he was
injured the last trip east
Il doubt if the Sox will come through
now" one venerable critic opined. Yet
the Sox with McMullin on the third
base. started a winning streak which
put them SO far ahead of the Red Sox
that a. blind man could see who was
going to win the pennant.
Weaver's return was merely mat
ter Of waiting to see if somebody
work for a man in his first major year
started playing srounders backward
and was not hitting. so Weaver never
got his old job at third back.
The crowning feature of NcMullln's
work is the extreme steadiness with
which he operates Fast or slow. they
are all alike, and he makes a pitcher
work when he is at the plate. He never
throws the bail away and he seldom
makes throw unless he gets a man.
Yet he has the inborn instinct of heav-
ing at the right time and to the right
place. This is not acquired in a man
of HIS base ball years-it's a gift. Ray
Schalk had it when he came In: SO did
Zeb Terry, but he lacked physical
strength. McMullin has been going
along doing a great job and getting lit
tie credit because he does things so
easily.

World series fans this season will see
something in the base ball classic they
never have beheld before-a left
handler throwing right-handed. and on
a pennant-winning ball team.
The Sox possess man unique In the
annals of the national pastime. He
writes left-handed, plays billiards the
same way, eats left-handed (Which is
of great Importance in base BALD,
bowls left ft-handed, and SO on down the
line, but when he steps upon a ball
field he puts a glove on his left hand
and throws with his right.
This unique, not to say peculiar, per-
son is Memo Leibold. His queer ways
of doing were not discovered until
few DAYS ago when he was observed
in a billiard game. He picked up the
cue with his left hand, held the chalk
in his right and did the shooting with
the left.
This led to inquiry.

Cups Flies With Left.

T,eihold he's another peculiarity which
is explained by the fact that he is a
natural left-hander. Almost every fly
ball he tackles he approaches in a
rather loose way, with hands widely
extended The ball seems to drop into
the glove with the bare hand playing
an exceedingly secondary part. The
reason is that the left. being the pow
erful member, grasps the sphere solid
ly and does not require a great deal of
help from the right.
No matter the natural inclination of
his throwing, he certainly has done a
good educational job on his right arm
In a recent game at Washington, for
instance. he took fly in deep left from
Shanks. and when Crane set sail for the
plate from third the ball leaped on one
bounce straight into Lynn's hands and
the runner was an easy out. Over in
Philadelphia he chased one so far from
right field that the ball hoped into the
grandstand and lost a game.

STARS AND STRIPES ARE
RAISED AT WILLIAMSBURG

Pioneer day was celebrated at Will
liamsburg in fashion true 10 the
good old American frontier spirit
High up in the mountains where the
stream heads of the Blackfoot river
converge the little settlement or Will
Eamsburg rests at the center or a
rich. well watered territory, whose
crops are good and whose pioneer
settlers know how to get together
and celebrate a holiday.
About 800 persons came to make
merry mostly from the vicinity OF
Williamsburg and Grays lake, also
a brass band from Montpelier. There
were broncho busters and their
"bronchs," and 40 or SO automobiles
which had conquered the rough
trails into the new country IN one
way or another.
They held a patriotic meeting, ana
raised large starry banner Tor the
first time on Williamsburg soil, tax
ing possession of that beautiful
region by their rights as American
free men. Mr.. Kunz delivered an
address of welcome. d. G. WOOD,
of Thomas, spoke to them OF early
pioneer times and the hardy folk
who opened up the west. Bishop
Smith, of Grays lake, delivered the
Grafton of the occasion.
During the afternoon the broncho
busters gave one of those real old
fashion exhibitions that raise the
hair of ones head. A genuine bull
fight was staged by daring young
men. The Grays lake base ball team
lost a hard game, Tbs, but in pull
ing match the heavyweight visitors
pulled Williamsburg across the line
with a full and sufficient yank.
In the evening the young folks
danced in a specially constructed
dance bower till 1 o'clock in the
morning,
Everybody was treated to ice
cream, candy and lunch, and every
body declared over and over that the
occasion Of Pioneer day, July "a,
1917, should stand as an historic
monument to the community.
