CARPENTERS UNION TO
RESCUE OF SUFFERERS

A tornado recently raced through
northwest Chicago. It wrecked it's
way through several nearby suburbs.
Relief and aid were offered freely to
the stricken. People everywhere SYM
pathized and stood ready to help. But
1900 union carpenters appeared in
Melrose Park and haywood on a re-
cent Sunday morning prepared to re-
build the wrecked homes. Before
sunset more than half of the destroyed
houses in Melrose Park had been re-
placed. The. union carpenters, organ
lied in crews Of 100 worked like
magic. One house in which its belated
owner was killed by the storm was
rebuilt for the family in seven hours.
The union men have declared that
they would continue to forego their
rest on Saturday afternoons and Sum-
days until the work Of reconstruction
is completed.
There are folks who have few kind
words for those who labor and who
exalt labor by standing together in
organization. They think upon work.
ers as disturbers and agitators ever
demanding exorbitant wages for their
services. Let them ask the stricken
citizens of Melrose Park and haywood
what they think Of union carpenters.
Back will come the answer that car
penters are the same today as in the
days of the carpenter Christ.

Iris Speaker.

Cleveland ball fans have the bunch
that iris Speaker is the man who will
pull a Pat Moran" for them and COD
a pennant this coming season.
iris has been the playing life Of
the ball club ever since he became a
member Of it, April IL, 1916, and now
the Indian bugs believe he will be
the managerial Moses.
Speaker was born in Hubbard City,
Texas, April 4, 1888. He played base
ball with Fort Worth, Texas, poly
technic institute and then with Gle
bourne in the North Texas league, but
it wasn't until he was transferred to
the Houston club in the Texas league
that he was brought to the attention
of the big leagues. And he owes
Doak Roberts, owner of the club, much
credit for forcing him into the big
show.
Spoke joined the Houston club in
1907, and Roberts decided right off
the bat that Spoke was a conner
Spoke hit IA and fielded spectacu-
larly for a youngster. Roberts knew
Bob Hedges and Jim McAleer of the
Browns, and tried to wish Speaker
on them. They couldn't see Spoke
Roberts wired: eff he doesn't make
good I'll give you IT'S acres of Texas
back lands" But still the Brown
officials couldn't see giving Speaker
trial.
Then Roberts asked the Red Sox
to try him out, agreeing to paw his
expenses if he fizzled. The Red Sox
gave him tryout in three games in
the fall of 1907 but were not i'm
pressed with him and failed to take
care of him the next spring, SO he
signed with Little Rock, with Rob-
erts' help.
Then the Red Sox woke up. They
arranged deal whereby they were to
obtain the pick of the club at the
close of the season for $500-and
chose Speaker. Spoke went to the
Red Sox the next year and by 1909
got going. He became-and still is
one of the greatest outfielders in
the games history. He plays center
field nearer the infield than any other
centerfielder. With Hooper and Lewis
he gave the Red Sox the wonderful
outfield that helped them to win the
American league and world pennants
in 1912 and 1915. For 10 years, up to
the last season, he hit in the 300
circles. Last year he fell to 1896.
He became manager Of the Indians
July 10, 1919, succeeding Lee Foil.
The $4,000 and players that Dunn
paid for Speaker proved good invest
ment right off the reel and If Spoke
leads the club to a flag this year it
will be about the best deal that Dunn,
a wealthy contractor outside of base
ball, ever put over.

POSTPONED; SUNDAY, APRIL

The meeting of representatives of
Suburban league teams to have been
held Sunday afternoon in George
Brehm's store, has been postponed

engagements with sports goods for fur

No doubt exists but what the league
will be formed, the chief worry being
the number of teams to be entered.
Original plans call for an eight team
league. but additional applications in
dictate the league may include IL
teams. This subject and others will
be threshed out at the meeting in
Brehm's store next Sunday.
