Powell Didn't Have a Chance.

1t isn't splitting the right dope when
il is stated that Ray Powell, new Brave
outfielder, was failure as an Amerl-
can League-. writes Boston admlrer
of the rabbit. Ray busted into two box
scores while he was working for Hugh
Jennings in the spring of 1913, the total
length of time he pastimed on the
Tiger team being two innings. On April
IL Powell covered center field for one
inning in game played in Cleveland
and didn't have a chance. Two days
later in Detroit Ray ran for George
Mullin in the ninth inning of Skin
mish with st. Louis and failed to score
Not much chance to fall in the Amer
lean League with opportunities like
this.

boxers and wrestlers. Scarcely notic-
ing his own picture, which occupies a
prominent place, Corbett was talking
interestedly of some of the incidents
he knew concerning the others.
After Corbett had turned away. the
writer could not help asking him in
this way to step to the other side of
the room:
Here is a photograph of a scrapper
who won some little renown in the
ring. Perhaps, though. you will not
recognize him
Corbett walked over. carefully ad-
justed his glasses and gaZed long and
quizzically at the likeness before he
spoke. Then:
Why, the general aspect of the figure
seems somewhat familiar. Also. l seem
to remember something of that angu-
lar pose Let's see. now. where did l
meet that fellow. anyhow? Strangely
familiar he is, yet somehow l don't
seem TO place him. quite"
In that way Corbett carried out his
end of the joke. but the wide laughing
grin on his face as he turned told all
too well of the memories the photo
graph of Bob FitZsimmons had aroused.

Need of Workers
For Red Cross

Workers are needed for the local
Red Cross society. During the month
of August there were ifty-one less
workers at the headquarters than
there were on the previous month, but
in spite OF this the production Of sup
plies did not fall off any, indicating
that what the workers lacked in num-
bers they made up in energy There
must be a continually healthy growth
Of workers, however, If the results that
are expected of a big chapter like that
Of Grand Forks, are to be realized.
and every woman in the city who has
the time, is urgedfto help. There are
SO many ways open, if people care to
take advantage of them.
Some have said they didn't care to.
work at headquarters. If the atmos-
phere down there doesn't appeal to
them, that small matter shouldn't
keep them from doing something some
place else. They can organize circles
or groups of their own friends, meet
when they find it convenient, and n
information about the work to be
taken up may be secured from the
headquarters.
This relief work shouldn't be placed
on a social basis however, and even
If Mrs. Smith whom you "just can't
bear" is going to be there, the work
room is good sized and roomy, and
ought to be able to comfortably
hold you and Mrs. Smith too, if you
both tend to your own knitting and
not let personal feelings hold sway.
Recently when there was a short
age Of workers at the headquarters,
and asgreat demand for supplies to be
met, a committee chairman decided
to telephone a number of women,
some of whom she did not even know,
and ask them personally to help. One
woman a Of course she could help.
She could just as we'll. have been
helping all summer, but no one had
invited her to. Another asked where
the Red Cross headquarters were. She
had eve been there, and hadn't
even an idea where the headquarters
were located. Both Of these were en-
listed as workers, but is it necessary
to have this personal sort of invitation
to do ones bit in times like these?
1t is impossible to come in personal
contact with all of the women of the
city, and the chairmen Of committees,
the secretary at headquarters, and all
