by securing a good education. Per-
haps few men on the Chicago team
can write as many letters after their
names as can young Jorgensen.
While going to school he contin-
ued to play baseball, and was the
star pitcher on the Iowa State Teach
ers' college mines for several years,
and captain of the 1919 team. His
consistent work on the mound at
college and during the last season
attracted the attention of several
major league scouts, but he decided
to cast his lot with the White Soy
and signed a contract for the entire
1921 season.
His salary with the White Sox will
undoubtedly be an increase over
that which he receives as principal
of the Gutenberg, Iowa, high school,
which position he now holds. 1t is
strange what phenomenal wages
good baseball players receive when
compared with teachers, judges and
other professional men. To be a
good baseball player requires only
the ability which the most ignorant
may possess, while to be a professor
or judge requires years of study.
However, a professional baseball
players years are numbered, but
young Jorgensen still has an educa-
tion which will assure him of a live
lihood when he is too old to follow
the national pastime. In this con-
nection we might mention Judge
Lands, who receives an annual
compensation of $4,000 as Judge of
the Federal Court, while he receives
S42,500 as arbiter of the major
leagues.
Jorgensen's first baseball expert
enec was in the little town OF Kim
ballton, where he was reared. Years
ago the Elk Horn and Kimballton
boys used to have annual contests
on the diamond. and the boys from

Bachelor to the Rescue.

In street car the other day ] sat

ing desperately to unite face veil.
I was fascinated by her persistent but
fruitless attempts to unite the veil
WITH one hand while with the other
she clutched her nose glasses, which
we're helplessly entangled in 1t. ! was
just wondering why, some woman pas
senger did not offer assistance. when
she turned to me and said: pardon
me, but would you be kind enough to
see II you can unfasten this veil"

pressed merriment of the passengers

embarrassed bachelor.-Exchange.

the former town were generally the
winners. Then the Jorgensen fam
lily moved to town and three broth
ers, Ottar, Peter and John, joined
the Kimballton team. A game was
arranged and the Elk Horn boys
rode their bicycles and mustangs to
Kimbaliton, expecting to wallop the
home town team in the customary
manner. But the JOrgensen boys
proved to be too much for the Wis
itoTs and Kimballton won a one-sid-
ed game. In 1912 Peter Jorgensen
pitched for the Kim ballton team, a
team composed of boys not over 16
years of age. This team won every
game played during the summer
through his mastery pitching.
This was his last season with the
local club until 1929, when he signed
up with the "Orphans" and pitched
for the team through the season. IL
he makes good with Chicago, the
Orphans will have to look for a
new pitcher.
When the White Sox leave for the
southern training trip next spring,
Peter Jorgensen will be one of their
number. If he lacks the experience
to hold a berth in fast company, he
will be farmed out to the minor
leagues for the season. 1t is our
guess that he will make good in the
big show.
Jorgensen has plenty of speed,
control and stuff on the ball. AL
though small in stature, the Gutten-
berg professor also Yields a wicked
stick. More than this, he has a
good head, and is steady and cool
in any situation. Jorgensen can
pitch good ball and watch his team
mates tumble and juggle the ball
when it means runs, and not lose
heart. II his support goes all to
pieces, he never kicks, but continues
to pitch his best. His motto is,

Ostrich PIumes.

Ostrich plumes are not actually
plucked, by the way. They are cut
pruned with no damage or pain TO the
bird. When the feathers are ripe"
the Ostriches are driven into "
shaped enclosure. Their heads are
covered with a hood like a stocking,
which renders them tractable. The
wings are spread by the man doing
the "plucking" and the feathers are
clipped off fairly close to the flesh.
This does not hurt the bird in the
least and within sixty days the dead
quill ends drop out Of their own ac-
cord. The tail feathers are also
clipped.

navy EIGHT SEEKS
SYRACUSE SCALP
Middies Anxious to Avenge Early
Season Defeat in Stew
ards Race

Rowing enthusiasts will have plenty
Of opportunity to enjoy their favorite
sport In this city at the end of this
week. Starting Friday afternoon with
the Childs Cup race and ending late
Saturday evening" one of the greatest
rowing programs ever presented to the
American public will be seen on the
Schuylkill And that isn't all. Yester-
day the racing stewards added another
interesting race to the program that
Is to take place on Saturday morning at
10 80. Harvard, Syracuse and the two
Union Boat clubs from Boston are the
principals. ...,... .
This latter addition gives added in :
terest to the gigantic program. Syracuse
Is the eight that handed the Navy its
first defeat on the Severn river in two
years and should It win the race
against Harvard and the Union crews,
will be one Of the contestants in the
Stewards Cup race on Saturday after
noon.
The Navy is entered in the Childs
Cup race for the first time since 1916
and II the Middies can cross the finish
line first or second. which is highly
probable, they will meet the Syracuse
eight on Saturday afternoon. The Navy
men are making no bones Of the fact
that they are out to avenge the defeat
by Syracuse and to that end will give
their mightiest efforts on Friday after :
noon to defeat Penn, Columbia and
Princeton, the other starters in the
Childs Cup race.
The Navy is rated as the winner in
this race, but Princeton, recent vic
tor in q triangular race in which Yale
and Cornell were the other parties, gives
the Tiger crew an even chance for vic
tory. Then Penn, under the tutelage
should prove to be a much faster eight
than the one Princeton and Yale de
feated. Navy and Yale defeated Colum-
bia earlier in the season by meager dis
tances and summing it all up the
chances are that one Of the greatest
Childs Cup races in years will be seen
Friday afternoon.
