When Pangs of HomeSickness
Seized ShoeIesS Joe Jackson

Joe could not read the bill OF fare.
He was guilty OF breaches OF etiquette
that brought about smokers and laughter
among his team mates And some ball
players are not particularly careful about
hurting a youngsters feelings. This
was even moro true in the old days
than II Is now.
pher was timetables He always knew
when a train left some time during the
night for South Carolina, as he might
be absent for breakfast. Three times
Harry Davis or Socks Seybold we're sent
by Connie TO bring Joe back, and finally

traded his option on jackson and Nor
ris Rath to Cleveland for Briscoe Lord.
Then the Yankees had a young left
handler that they experimented with for
several years. Sam Ross, a mountaineer
from Tennessee, whose views on geogra-
phy and history were cause for much
mirtS Ross. was really a lovable chary
acter. a big hearted boy almost always
smiling, but he had fixed views on GER
tain subjects.
In 1916 the Yankees came back from
Macon by way OF the Mississippi Valley.
playing games in Memphis and Nash
VILE. The next spring they played q
series with the Boston Braves in small
Georgia and Alabama towns and then
skirted the Atlantic coast on their way
North, stopping off at Wilmington. n. c..
and Petersburg. Va.
On the way from Wilmington TO Pc
tersturg Ross asked a group OF report
ers In his rich Southern drawl. kin

be passing through old Tennessee. You
all know that's nah State
It was explained to Ross that we were

and only a short distance In from the

Another time discussion came up on
the civil war in the smoking compart-
ment Ross listened a while to the con-
versation, and finally pushed his oar
! into it,
| "Mah grandfather always commended
| that II the South had kept on fighting
one week longer, the Nawf would have

own way" Ross said. He said they

"Oh. that's bunk said Frank Gil
hooley.
All right, Gilhooley," said Ross you
think the way you want to. and so will
l. But my grandfather was In that war
and you wasn't and wasn't. so 7 guess
no oughta know"
While the fresh rookie Is the excep-
ton rather than the rule. you do get
them once In a while. Bill Piercey,
young pitcher from the coast, who made
several training trips with the Yanks,
never took a back seat when converse
tional clashes were on He pulled
Where do we go from here, boys" a
year before Uncle Sam got into the big
war. and n song by that name won
world fame
1T was in the spring Of 1916. when
Donovan had about two dozen pitchers
prancing around down at Macon, in
Guiding youngsters from all over tho
country. There was great rivalry among
tho youths as 10 which ones would sur
vive the pruning knife. A bunch OF
pitching 'rooks" were talking over their
chances, when Piercey said, You guys
mako me laugh. The only thing inter-
ests me Is where do go from there after
once get to New York"
Not Afraid of Honu..
Walter Rehg. the outreldsr recently
traded by the Braves 20 the Pirates, won
fame as the freshest kid that ever came
up from the sticks when he broke in
with the Pirates half dozen years ago.
He was introduced to Hans Wagner, a
function which TO most bushers almost
amounted to a sacred rite. Even II they
didn't make good, they could go back
to the old town and boast that they
had held the horny paw Of the famous
Honus.
But reverence was not Rehg's middle
name. He said, How do, Foxy Grand
pa I've been reading In the papers
about you"
The Yanks had one queer character
with them one spring, a Walter Clark
son. though not the Walter Clarkson of
Harvard, who pitched for Grifiith. This
one was a free agent, signed by the Far
rel regime and taken South by the new
Ysnk owners in 1915. He was "A sour
faced fellow. never had Il word to say
TO any one, and one morning he pulled
a Joe Jackson and disappeared. He
came all the way from Milwaukee, but
made no requisition on Harry Sparrow
to send him back. 1t was rumored he

"Oh, he's got bad arm. go what's the
use OF having him out In the outfeld.
I Just keep him In there to stop the balls

Higgins was as sore as a wet hen

As explained before. many of the rock
les are unconsciously funny. even though
they know IL not. The Giants had a
young pitcher with them at Marlin last
spring. a chap named Mike Hogan from
Cohoes, y. 7. Mike tried to SHOW Nc
Graw all he had In the first couple OF
days at camp, and by the end OF fort
night he was a miserable lad-homesick
with a sore arm.
Mike wasn't cultured. He used his
knife and fork as though they we're
chopsticks, and one wit IN the camp
sent line 10 his paper. ''If Mike doesn't
make good as a pitcher. he need not
worry. He should do very we'll as a
sword swallower. He Is rehearsing his
act every day"
Mike got hold OF the item and said /:
Whats no mean by that stun, me
sword swallower? Does he think want
to DO one OF those museum guys? got
a good trade az a machinist and got
a mind TO leave this place nat and go
back to IT.

given in the evening.
On Monday morning the big show
will really open and the day will be
known as Lincoln and Labor day.
Labor organizations of Lincoln will
visit the fair and watch the fun.
Monday will also be the day when
the big automobile races will take
place. 1t is the only day on which
the automobiles will have the track.
Big Auto Races.
Sig Haugdahl, the wild and
woody driver, who last year broke
three records on the Nebraska state
fair track, will be here again this
year and try to make another record.
Since he broke the three-mile record
here last year, another driver has
made the three miles in less time at
Louisville, KY, and Haugdahl will
come to Lincoln determined to lower
that record. Haugdahl says that the
Lincoln track is the best dirt track
in the country and that he would
rather take chances on this track
than any other he knows.
However "Sig" is likely to have a
little trouble. Fred Horey, we'll
known racer, is coming to Lincoln
and has made the assertion that he
will try his best to lower Haugdahrs
record. Then on top Of this Leon
Duray, the French wild cat" who
is coming TO the state fair with a de-
termination equal to that of Horey,
to beat the record. Duray has been
doing things across the water, but
has never raced in the United States.
He is now in Canada, but will come
across the line to win some laurels
Tuesday Horse Races.
Tuesday the horse races and circus
will have their part of the entertain
ment. The 2:20 trot will be one of
the big races of the fair. The asso-
citation has hung up $l,50O for this
race and horses from Nebraska,
Oklahoma, Indiana, Illinois, Oregon
and Texas have been entered. The
Cornhusker pace and trot is an
other race looked forward to with
great interest. Then comes the Ne
braska Derby for one and one-sixth
miles with two other running races.
Tuesdays program, with the circus
filling in between heats, and the fire
works and circus in the evening, will
make this day one of the biggest of
the fair.

brought for examination. The child
had never been able to talk and had
been pronounced incurable. The ex-
perts examined him and told the
parents what to do. They followed
directions and now the child can
talk as we'll as any youngster. This
is a sample of the work which can
be expected. Children examined
last year will be re-examined this
year to see if there has been any
changes
Tractors and Engines
The machinery exhibit, which in
cludes the tractor and engine show,
will have to be extended to a Is
acre wheat field just east Of the ma
chinery hall.
Lieut.. Locklear, who will arrive
Tuesday and be with the fair the
rest of the week, was one of the dar-
ing airplane pilots during the war.
State fair visitors will see some
thing in airplane flying they never
saw before and approaches almost
the impossible.
The state fair will be held the first
week in September and with its
boys camp, its educational, agricul-
tural exhibits and automobile ex-
hibits, its stock shows, its fire
works and the hundred and one
other things will make the 5lst ex-
hibition of the Nebraska state fair
the greatest in its history.

BY P. A. BARROWS.

The Nebraska fair, the slst in its
history. will be known this year as
the Victory Fair" 1t is predicted
by Secretary E. R. Danielson that it
will far outstrip all former fairs
both in attendance and the amount
of exhibits of all kinds.
eve are looking forward this
year." said Mr.. Danielson to The
Bee representative, ito the greatest
fair in the states history. The war is
over, crops are pretty good, most OF
the people own automobiles and if
the weather clerk will give US a
square deal, just you watch the peo-
pie come to the fair. With good
roads it will simply mean that the
fair grounds will not hold the
crowds. The fixing up of the new
main avenue will give additional
room, but if the weather is favor
able and the roads good, the attend
ance will eclipse all former years"
Last year the attendance was the
largest in the history of the fair,
2l4,534. There were one or two
stormy days which cut down the
crowd considerably.
Lightning Struck Buildings.
During the storm week or so
ago, lightning struck the dome of
the dairy building and set it on fire.
Luckily assistance was at hand and
the fire was put out before it had
done much damage. Then it took
another stab at another building
along cafe row, but also did little
damage. Not content with these
two attempts it ran bolt into the
roof on the west end of the big
grandstand and tore off section.
The new street which has just
been opened, running directly north
from the main automobile entrance
at the end of Seventeenth street. will
be known as Oils avenue, in hon
or of Senator ]. A. Oils, former
president of the fair association,
who has been one of the big factors
In making the past fairs success.
The street is 100 feet wide with
space for parking in the center, %
feet wide. 1t has eight foot side
walks. This will take the place Of
the old main street, Durham ave-
nue., which is too narrow to accom-
modate the traffic.
The fair will open in an informal
way Sunday afternoon with band

be good. The Shetland pony ex-
hibit will be fine.
The new sheep barn is beautiful
building of stucco finish with heavy
posts and pillars. The main build
ing is 10 by 200 feet and will hold
1856 pens.
The poultry building is another
finS5building now in process Of COM
pleHon and is Is by 100 feet. 1t will
hold about 900 chickens and the
rabbit show.
The new woman's building, which
also includes the better babies" ex-
hibitions, is not yet completed, but
will be fully finished in time for the
fair. The building will cost $4,000.
The main structure is two stories
high, 48 feet wide and Sc feet long.
There are two wings II by 46 feet
and a l6-foot veranda. An open
court, 81 by Sc feet, faces the big
open fish pond to the north.
For this building the examination
of babies will be held in big glass
room in view of a number of seats
and balcony. On Thursday sew
eral noted child experts will be in
attendance and examine detectives.
Examination of detectives will not
be made in public. Any parent hav-
ing a child in any way defective can
bring it to these experts and thor
ough examina tion'will be made.
Last year a 7-year-old child was
