WALKER EXPECTS TO
 MAKE eoop WITH CARDS
Has Come Back For His Fourth Try
 at the Majors.

Three unsuccessful attempts to make good as a pitcher in fast com pany have noe cooled the ardor of Fred Walked pitcher. football coach and ail-around athlete.
 The resourceful coach of the crack 1917 Williams college football team believes he has the stuff necessary to big league pitchers, and he will attempt to derronStrats to the satis- facion of Manager Jack Hendricks of 9 regular berth.
 Walker has had a rather interest ing career in sports. He first attracted attention while student at Chicago university, where he played on the same great football team that had Hugo Bezdek in it's lineup. He was around athlete and successful col lege baseball pitcher.
 AS such he attracted the attention of the Giants and he got tryout un- der the wing of John McGraw. But one day, after he had licked corps of bellboys in a New York hotel he decided that the effects east was not to his liking and disappeared.
 The next time he showed up he was sailing under a non de plume He appeared in tlfa Pacific Coast league under the name of Mysterious Mitchell. and as he recognized the value of publicity he played the mys- terious stuff off the boards, driving tt the park in taxicab and disappearing after the game
 Big league scouts went to look hin cver but could not identify him and he enjoyed a reign of. mystery for one full season.
 Tn addition to his tryout with the Giants. Walker signed contracts witt Cleveland Americans and the Pitts hurgh and Brooklyn clubs of the Fed eral league. Between tryo1ts h. Etched for minor league clubs witt
 varying success. and lest year witt
 ile Utica club of the New York stat' league, he won eleven and lost sever | games. ! He was recommended to Manage Hendricks and Branch Riclev b! Pop Keichner, veteran scout. ant ! during the schedule meeting of thi | National League in New York h. i signed with the Cards. He will mak, l his fsurth trial this spring as 2 ma 1 jor league recruit, though he is be yond the age of the average recruit.

picked on its play indoors, although shifts are possible when the men get onto the diamond on Soldiers field. Lucky Jones is slated for first base. He has the reputation of being a heavy hitter and a fair fielder. To replace Macleod, the retired captain who is at Princeton studying aviation, Red Wolverton is playing second base. Red can field. but is light with the bat. Captain Bobby Gross seems to have picked up considerably on his fielding and shortstop is new task for him his previous experience being obtained
 as an outfielder. Hallowell, another | gardener, is playing regularly at third
 base and is showing up the best o1 any of the talent there.
 Hans Erb appears to be the most de- lpendable of the pitchers. Staff John ! son is speedy, but wild. and Phil New ton is fast rounding into form. None of the men can be rated as first class l performers Behind the bat, Tom Gammack has been called on to do the bulk of the work. Swigert, an Ore
 gonian is another fair catcher. Zach
 has passed up the breast plate for a place at first base on the substitute nine
 In the outfeld, Evans, McCouch and
 Ward have been playing regularly None of them are experienced, The
 freshmen last week defeated the var
 sity, to 3. and they are apt to re-
 peat this dose often this spring, since l 1921 has a fine lot of ball players
 some of whom are nifty batsmen as school players.

Boxing Frameups an old Game.

On March ?. 1761. just 157 years ago, George Magf1gs defeated Bill Stevens in r minutes near London
 This was the first of the many fakes which have so often brought pugilism into disrepute. Stevens had won the British championship by defeating Jack Slack on t76o. Sl ack had cap tured the honors from Broughton. the father of modern boxing"
 Meggs was a pupil of Slack and a match was arranged between the former and Stevens. Slack wagering l$1,000 on his protege. In order to make a certain winning the bet, Slack bribed Stevens to quit for $250.
 Stevens lived up to hisk agreement, and scarcely a blow had been struck when he laid down. The wise ones 1 ricked up a neat sum, but boxing re- ceived black eye from which 1t did i not recover for many years Stevens

 present war against Germany. Twelve thousand Indians from the Canadian reserves have enlisted for active ser vice in the war by official report.
 Indians at the front prove excellent rifemen, possessing great endurance. Last year Indians contributed over s7,000 to the war funds and Indian women have been noteworthy contrib utors of knitted socks, mufflers, etc, for the soldiers.
 Commissioner Cato Sells in a recent letter tells of the part the Indian is taking in this great struggle. Their known subscriptions to the first Lib erty loan were S4 607,S50, the second loan s4,392, 750, and this does not iIl- clude many purchases their banks made by individual. Indians entirely independent of any government Indian | officials. It is impossible to accurately give the number of Indians enlisted or serving as officers-most of them being volunteers.

Carey to Lead Pirates,

As Honus Wagner has retired, Max Carey will be the field captain of the Pirates this year. Carey will receive $5,O00 in salary for playing center field and $500 extra for leading the players. But when it comes down to cases Carey will nave little or nothing to say, inasmuch as Manager Hugo Bez- dek possesses oratorical powers that will be used to convince umpires that they have made mistakes Carey probably has been appointed captain in order to let him draw more money. He has made an annual kick for in creased salary even since he first be- came a Pirate.

AT FIRST CHURCH.
Rev. George c. Pollock Breaches on
 How Victory is Achieved.

Rev. G. c. Pollock preached at the First Congregational church Sunday morning, taking for his text II Samuel 30, 34: As his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff. they shall part alike. From this text, Rev. MT. Pol
 lock brought out clearly the great truth that to no one person, however great and wise-to no one action, how lever brilliant or conspicuous, can be ascribed victory, but to united effort, to some humble prayer or deed, is also due the victory. David and his men had achieved wonderful, victory. When they stood shoulder to shoulder in the heat of battle. they were alike in earnest, but their deep seated greed was manifest when they refused to the two hundred who had tarried by the stuff all share in the spells, claiming that all belonged to them. David over ruled them and laid down a principle that was adopted ever afterwards as a law in Israel. The two hundred be- longed to the same army. all bound together in loyalty to the same flag, each party indispensable to the vic- tory.
 The same principle runs through Gods great army of workers, the help prayer offered in secret, we do not
 know in this world of ours who is the
 most useful. said the preacher, but l love to think of this passage. of my text. o God make me useful, is the prayer of my heart. Diversity of em ployment is necessary in this great world of ours What people are and the place they are suited to occupy
 circumstances have brought out. Wher
 all the battles of life have been 1 fought. all the victories won. when tho
 kingdoms of this world are become the
 kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ the hunblest shall have part, thai prayer you offered in secret, you won.

 and crown our efforts.
