RumIer DiSIoCateS Back
In SWINGING at the Ball

You have heard OF ball players
breaking their backs swinging at the
ball. This is actually what happened
to Bill Rumler of the St. Louis
Browns. Sent in as pinch hitter, he
took such terrific swing that he dis
located vertebrae in his spine. He
is in bed as a result and may not be
able to play ball again for a month.

The Johnny Evcrs Of the club is
what Eddie Roben's teammates on

Roben is the inside base BALI art

won him the title Seldom game

startling play that sweeps the opposi-
ton off its feet for the moment be-
cause it is so unexpected. He always
knows what to do at the right time
and crossing" the other side is his
specially.
Roben also is some lad with the
bludgeon and is regarded as the best

After orders from Foreign Secre-

ranch, about 40 miles west OF Chi

was making his headquarters at that
time. The villa plan was to be used
chiefly In the event OF failure to in
duce Carranza to enter an intrigue
against the United States and as a
possible means Of bringing pressure
to bear on Carranza. II was hoped
to involve the de facto government
and the United States In new, serious
complications, making the retention
of large part Of the American army
along the border necessary.
That friction between Carranza
and the United States would tend to
weaken the de facto power was point
ed out to villa by the German agents.
Already the German cabal in the
Mexican capital had set active under
ground influences to work upon the
first chief and his advisers to indHce
them to consent to an alliance. The

neutral powers. asking them to unite

Senator Sherman---one Of the two
republicans who opposed the propos-

fireworks with q bitter denunciation
Of President Wilson's statement that
it would be useless to summon an
extra session until the senate rules
we're revised.
The president did not state the
entire truth" Sherman declared. HE
deliberately omitted a portion of the
truth to convey to the public false
impression. The president knows

is limited, can a filibuster succeed.

GAME LAW CHANGES

The state legislature always takes
il as one Of its special privileges to
juggle the game and fish laws till q
man has to begin all over again to
know what his rights may be. A let
ter recently written by the state game
warden points out q few changes,
but We must wait till the session
laws are printed to know what has
happened. In the state game war
den's letter 1t is pointed out that
after the new game laws go into ef-
feet May 81. the price Of game Ii
censes win be increased from the
present rate Of 81 each for the hunt
ing licenses to $3.50 each. Provis-
ion is made that both women and
men shall take out the licenses.
The deer law was amended to
make it unlawful to use a dog to
hunt. pursue. or kill any game ami
NAL in the state. and 1t is also un-
lawful to allow any free running
dog at large in territory Inhabited
by deer, or to be found following
the track Of any game animal in the
state.
