A little gray-haired man. stopped

years and toll in the service of the
government but with his eyes flash
ing with the fire one seldom sees in a
man of his years. sat in the quaint
parlor of his old-fashioned home at
463 street and calmly told a Star re-
porter he had made application for a
retirement pension and hoped he
would get it.
Every morning at 9 o'clock. George
Suter-for that is the little old mans
name-enters his shop in the base
ment of the Library of Congress, ad-
justs his specs" bitches up his over
alls and begins the days work. He
has been doing carpentry work for the
government ever since 1857 when he
was engaged to help build the south,
west and north wings of the Treas
ury building.
Since that time he has been almost
service, working in the State. War
and Navy building, and finally with
the Library of Congress.
Hinted He Didn't Need to Quit.
"They sort of hinted didn't need to
quit when this retirement business
was made effective" said Mr.. Suter.

eyes. But l sort of limited that I'd

Born in Washington in 1881. Mr.
Suter has never lived more than three
blocks from the place of his birth
He has watched the capital grow
from a mere country town to a city
of nearly one-half million inhabit-
ants.
Every inaugural procession. which
passed through PENNSYLVANIA avenue
from the time of William Henry Har-
rison to Woodrow Wilson has been
viewed by Mr.. Suter.
"Of course. you expect to witness
the next inaugural parade" the re-
porter remarked. But who do you

Mr.. Suter believes that one glass of

doctors as much as possible.

BL OOMINGTON AS
PENNANT WINNER
DEMANDS CREAM

Bloomington is being given the
merry razz by the Peoria papers
for the part it is playing in the
squabble over the schedule. The
Bloomers are accused Of wanting
to hog every good thing for them
selves because they won the pen
nant last year. And the way in
which President Goelzer OF the
Bloomington club is trailing Presi-
dent Al Tearney would indicate as
much.
As far as can be CLEANED a sched-
ule has been adopted. At least
that is the opinion Of TIE officials
Of the Rock Island club, although
they have not yet been notified to
this effect.
Last week Secretary Walter
Flanagan received a chart from the
league president and was notified
to vote on one Of them before 5
O'Clock in the afternoon Of the day
received. Failure to do this was to
be taken to indicate that the sched-
ule was satisfactory to Rock Is
land. Flanagan wired early in the
afternoon certain objections and
stated that il these were ironed out
Rock Island would be content with
the schedule as presented. He
heard from Tearney the next morn
ing, the league head saying that
the changes could be made. So it
is taken for granted that this is
the case.
The schedule which meets with
Rock Islands favor but for the few
minor changes provides for the Is
landers opening in Bloomington on
April 20 for a 3-game series and
then jumping to Peoria for the
same number of games before re-
turning home with Peoria 60 open
here on May 5. Moline is taken to
Peoria for the league opening. then
to Bloomington and home with the
latter club on May to open before
the home folks
The chart gives Rock Island 10
Sunday games and one holiday,
Memorial day.

MORE CHANGES
AT FIRST BASE
Have OCCURRED
Seven Newcomers in the Ranks Are
Taking the Throws vi the
InfieiderS.
BY HENRY L. FARRELL.

United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April 20.-Most of the
stops on the big time baseball cir
cult have the same old faces in the
same old places. More changes
have been made around first base,
however, than on any other station
Of the run line. Seven newcomers
to the ranks of regulars are taking
the throws on the starboard of the
diamond. Five of them are pure
experiments.
John McGraw and Kid Gleason
were forced to the ticklish task of
putting an untried youngster on the
important Job when Hal Chase de-
veloped bad eyes and Chick Gan
dill decided to stay on the coast.
George Kelly, McGraw's hope,
has a chance to make good if the
Giant fans will let him. He and
Frank Frisch, the new third base
man, have been doing all the clubs
hitting but the rabid Gotham fans
have been inclined to razZ young
Kelly since the opening game when
he committed several busher stunts
on the bases and let a hot grounder
through him.
Ted Jourdan seems to fit we'll in
the Sox works. He, however,
hasn't the job cut out for him that
the youthful Kelly has to emulate
the brilliant Hal. Jourdan can
play only ordinary ball and be as
good as his predecessor.
Doc johnson stepped in to fill
the empty, sack for the Cleveland
Indians and has been doing SO we'll
that Harris, the former first base
man, isn't missed.
Gavvy Cravath displaced the vet
eran Luderus with Paulette on the
Philly infield and the Cardinals are
trying out Jacques Fourniex, whom
Branch Hickey says will develop
into another Peerless One" Joe
Grimm is getting his chance with
the rejuvenated Pirates and Ivy
Griffin is one of the new fledgIings
OF CONNIE MACK.
Jake Daubert's refusal to stay
out of few games with battered
hand, kept another youngster from
a coveted chance with the cham
pion Reds. Joe Meyer, the Notre
Dame star, however, may get the
post before the end of the season.
The Braves have the youthful
face Of Walter Holke on the sharp
corner. McGraw had him last year
and he might be glad to have him
back.
Old Fred Merkle of the Cubs,
Ed Konetchy of the Robins and
Stuffy McInnis are still withstand
ing the rush of time and clinging
on in fashion that is the despair
Of the youngsters in their camps.

But NOT rain
Peoria Bess Happy Over the Show.
ing Of his Recruits in In.
itial Clash.

Peoria, April 20.-Dbgruntled at
the weather. but we'll pleased with
the showing his recruits made in
their initial scrimmage Of the sea-
son, Bill Jackson. was forced to re-
main indoors yesterday and cuss
the weather man up one side and
down the other.
Bill was more than pleased with
his ball club. He said that they
performed in splendid fashion for
bunch Of players that have not
had the opportunity Of participant
ing in a real workout.
For the last two weeks the
weather has been such as to make
it impossible for the recruits to
even get onto a field, not alone en-
JOY real workout.
Rain halted the game scheduled
with the Decatur Staleys for Mon
day afternoon and consequently
hit the Peoria clubs treasury a
severe blow.
Has Plenty of Material.
Jackson is content that he has
plenty Of good material from which
to pick his 1920 club.
In Saturdays game he did not
allow his pitchers to huri a curve
ball because of their limited amount
Of work. He also instructed them
to crack the first one lover" re-
CARELESS Of the situation. The
game meant more to the players in
hitting practice than anything else.
1t was their first real chance to
WELD the club against some good
pitching.
Beck, the right handed slab art
list, who halls from Nebraska, show
ed a world OF stuff while on the
mound in Saturdays battle. He
has plenty of smoke and appeared
to have lots Of control. To him
goes the honor Of throwing the
only curve ball of the Tractor
pitchers.
With two men on and two out
and three and two on Demmett, the
former major Lacquer, Beck put
over a pretty curve and the ex-big
Lacquer took sip at the tin cup.
