Marie Jean Paul Roch Yves Gill
bert Motier. Marquis de Lafayette,
was the full name of the democratic
French nobleman. At the age of
thirteen he inherited a great fortune,
and he was only sixteen when he mar
ried a granddaughter of the Duke of
Noailles.
i When he first heard of the revolu-
ton in America, he Immediately es-
poused its cause and offered his ser
vices to Silas Deane, the American
revolutionary agent in Paris. He
was then scarcely nineteen years old.
The credit OF he Continental Congress
was so low that Deane could not pro-
cure a vessel. 30 Lafayette bought and
secretly freighted the ship Victory, to
carry himself and a dozen or so other
officers across the Atlantic. Among
Lafayettels companions was Baron de
Kalb, a native OF Bavaria, but who
had long been in the service . of
France. Against the wishes of his
RELATIVES n the orders of the
French king, Lafayette sailed for
America. From the Victory he sent
a message to his young wife, who was
about to become a mother for the sec
ond time: From o to me. become
a good American, the welfare of Amer
lea Is closely bound up with the well

Lafayette and his party landed

waxahachie, Tex, April s.-If Harry

Waxahachie, Tex, April eff Harry
Goveleskie the once great southpaw of
the Detroit Americans is able to come
back this season. Trainer Harry Tut
| hin will receive generous share Of
the credit.
Coveleskie's arm went bad last sea-
son and when he lost his effectiveness
against clubs he formerly defeated with
ease, Covey also lost his confidence.
When autumn came he was consid-
cred worthless to the club and Man
lager Jennings released him. Coveleskie
declined to go to minor league club
because he was not in condition to
pitch, so he was allowed to loaf out the
season.
During the winter, Coveleskie re-
ceived medical treatment for his twirl-i
ing arm and when he came. to the
training camp he was certain tnat ne
would round into form this season. de-
spite the fact that he is a veteran in
years as we'll as in experience. Trainer
Tuthill took him in charge and his
prescribed treatment was carefully
observed by the big pitcher.
No effort has been made to hurry
Coveleskie and, as a result, his pitch
ing abilityais in doubt at present. Tut
hill agrees with Jennings that Covel-
eske is either thru pitching baseball
or his trouble is one that can be re-
madied by rest and careful treatment.
Therefore, it is probable that Covel-
eskie will do little real work until the
season opens.

L BEAU MAKING GOOD.
Former MarhssIltown Player in Star
Role at San Antonio.


George LIE Beau, member Of the
Central Association championship
team for two years, is burning up the
San Antonio gardens in the spring
training season, according to the
sports writer's Of that Texas city. AL
ready the dopsters are referring to the
little F,renchman as the coming iris
Speaker, and the reports OF the games
in which he had participated indicate
that he is assured of a place in the
outer garden with the Bronchos.
In Sundays exhibition game with
the st. Louis Cardinals, San Antonio
was roped. the result at the roundup
being to 8, but the Texans gave the
majors great battle, in which LIE
Beau figured prominently. The former
Arson is credited with some sensa
tional fielding and he hit opportunels
in the third inning, when the Broncs
punched hits off the veteran Leon
Arnes for three runs Numerous snap
nv PLAYS are credited to LIE Beau, his
first coming in the third inning, when
he pursued and shared long fly from
Ames. which he dragged down in right
field ,altho ne is assigned to the mid
die garden He then pulled down
Heathcote's bird -frightener, and later
thrilled the bieacherites with two more
great running catches.
San Antonio sports editors are
strong for the little fly chaser, and one
in his enthusiasm declares he already
shows symptoms Of iris Speaker SEN
sationalism in fielding and declares
that he pulled "all kinds Of furry ones
out of the air Saturday and Sunday.
The San Antonio fans may find LIE
Beau even more capable should the
manager discover his base stealing
proclivities.
