ROOKIE WAS PEANUT VENDOR
First 5aseman Grimm, Formerly With
Little Rock, Has Had Rapid
Rise in Baseball.

Charlie Grimm, who has been pur-
chased by the Pirates from the Little
Rock club of the Southern assOcia-
ton, has had a rapid rise In baseball.
Three years ago he was peanut
and soda vendor in the Cardinals park
and played semi-pro ball when the
Cards were away from home, Last
year he applied to Jack Hendricks,
then manager of the Cardinals, for a
tryout, and Jack, granting it, liked the
youngsters looks so well he kept him
over for time, finally turning him
over to Little Rock for further sea-
soning.
Grimm played a fine brand Of bali
in the Southern association this year
and the Pirate scouts believe he will
show to better advantage at the in
itial sack than George Whitfield.

The present-day penchant of manu-.

threatens even those trusted baseball

looks to perpetuate his fame. The for
est products laboratory of the forest
service, United States department of
agriculture, has recently been manu-

of utilizing small lumber stocks. Base
ball bats are among the articles which
have been experimental on. In prac-
tically every instance the products
made from this material have given
as good service as those made in the
regular way. Whether they would sat
isfy the critical demands of profess
SIGNALS who inspect their white ash
clubs with jealous care, is matter
as yet undetermined. The fact re-
mains, however, that the initial sue
cess in the experiments cited seem to
indicate that there is large field
heretofore undeveloped in which lamin-
ated wood can be used successfully
Attention is called to the fact that,
while some of the bats have broken
under severe usage, the breaks were
not in the glued joints, indicating that
the artificial joining has been accom-
plished in an entirely satisfactory man.

MARSHALL REPRESENTS PRESIDENT

During the illness of President
Wilson, Vice President Thomas Z.
Marshall represents the president in
many matters, though he does not
sign any documents which require the
signature of the president, nor does
he in any way trespass on the pre-
negatives of the president.
Recently Vice President Marshall
received King Albert and Queen Eliz-
abeth of Belgium when they arrived in
New York to visit the United States.
Mr.. Marshall received the distin-
guished visitors in the name of the
president of the United States.
This represents in general way
the sort of service he will continue to
do for the president until Mr.. Wilson
is able to return to his duties. For
the time being Vice President Marshall
is not scheduled to meet with the
cabinet. The business of the general
executive departments, it is said, is IN
excellent shape and the cabinet will

Bearing the thanks of their nation
to the United States and its people,
the king and queen of the Belgians,
with Prince Leopold, heir apparent,
the first reigning family ever to visit
this country, stepped upon American
soil few days ago.
Beginning his mission even before
his formal welcome had begun, the
soldier king issued a message to the
American people. In part it was as
follows:
"The king brings to this nation of
friends the testimony of the profound
sentiment and gratitude of his country
men for the powerful aid, moral and
material, which America gave them in
the course of the war. The name of the
commission for the relief of Belgium
will live eternalIy in the memory of
the Belgians.

splendid army, and their courageous
navy powerfully served a great ideal"

SAYS BONUS MEANS ANOTHER LOAN

Granting an additional bonus to
service men would mean another large
government bond issue, which the
country is in no position to stand at
present, Secretary of the Treasury
Glass told the special house budget
committee a few days ago.
Glass strongly opposed the bonus,
claiming a majority of the service men
would consider it an affront to their
patriotism at a time when the govern
ment is sorely in need of funds.
To-day the credit of the United
States is imperiled," he said, "by prof.

the part of Germans that efforts be
made to induce America to enter into
a sort of limited alliance with Ger
many or take protectorate over thi'
country giving Germany financial aid
and protection and taking in return
the lions shares of the profits of the
country's Industrial activities. This
sentiment, which first made it's ap-
pearance last December, appears to
have become stronger very recently.
