SERGEANT WILLIAM
GAINES

During the Hayes administration
one of the presidents sons found in
the Barnes Hospital of the Soldiers
Home near Washington, William
Gaines, late ordinance sergeant in
the U. S. army, who was veteran at
the defense of Fort Stevenson FIRE
ment.) He had served over fifty
one years in the army and been a U.
S. ordinance sergeant over thirty
three; was in the war of 1872 and
Mexican War. He was granted a
special pension of three-fourths full
pay of his rank and on the retired
list. He was taken to the White
House and a full dress uniform or
dered sent there Tor him, but the
stripes for the trousers came unat-
tached Sir Edward Thornton the
Minister heading a delegation, enter
ing the Blue Room unannounced at
the time of the episode, found the
mistress of the white house Sitting
on a floor daXtrously plying the
needle, in sewing the stripes on the
trousers, while Sergeant Gaines half
reclining on the central divan was an
interested spectator. The work COM
pleted, the old officer was handed
over to the care of her son and the
minister and attendants received.
Gaines was at the battle of Tippe-
canoe where his uncle Col. Davies
was killed. They were surprised in
their tents by the Indians and Gaines
had his thumb badly cut by a toma-
hawk. On July 18, 1912, he enlisted
as a'drummer boy in Captain Arm
strong's company of the twenty
fourth infantry, being not yet thir-
teen. He saw two deserters from
Ft. Meigs tried and shot at Frank
linton and was with Cla at Ft. Meigs
from where he was ordered to camp
Seneca in. July, 1913 and thence de-
tailed with reinforcements to Fort
Stevenson where they arrived just
before the attack of the British. In
an interview with Col. Webb c,
Hayes which this story is taken
from. Gaines describes the attack in
detail. When the request to sur
rended was refused, Crogan told the
garrison the defenders would be
given no quarter.

FACTS ABOUT
OPTOMETRY

The standard Optometrical exami-
nation is very rigid, and is prepared
by the State Board of Examiners in
Optometry. Several years of constant
study are necessary as a preliminary
ito the practice of Optometry.
The work of an Optometrist COM
prises but two duties-the detection
of given error of vision and its
correction. But if the Optometrist
discovers (as he often does) a condi-
ton requiring surgical or medical at
tention, he may advise accordingly.
Being relatively a new profession,
Optometry is naturally not appreciat-
ed by the public as it deserves to be.
1t is estimated that in the United,
States many millions of people are
constantly in need of the services of
an Optometrist. That is, this large
number of people are deficient visu-
ally In manner that could be recti-
fled by an Optometrist. They possess
errors of vision that should receive
attention, and in at least half of the
cases the person is not aware of his
deficiency.
That indicates the value of Optom-
etry to the public, as we are speaking
only of defects of vision that the
Optometrist is competent to correct.

NEW SOCCER
TEAM, IN FIELD HERE

Taking advantage of the great in
terest in soccer foot ball in Washing
ton, steps have been taken toward
the formation Of new club in the
city. the prime mover in the matter
being James Fitzgerald, the ground
Keeper at Central High.
The initial practice was held yester-
day and a meeting will be held at the
Monument grounds today at 2:30, fol-
lowing which game will be played.
A meeting to elect officers will be
held during the coming week.
Two men, both long connected with
the game in western Pennsylvania.
are in the running for the position of
manager, and the new team-to be
known as the Rangers-would be we'll
handled by either.
Many players in the city have been
handicapped in their desire to play
the game by the scarcity of teams
here. and the management of the
Rangers anticipates no difficulty in
getting together an eleven which will
worthily represent the capital.
The organization of the Rangers
will make possible the formation Of
strong city league. including the
Harlem, Washington and British en-
bassy teams, and an interesting
schedule could be formed, permitting
at least one game, and possibly two,
each week frop now until the base
ball season rolls around.

ROGERS HORNSBY STILL
IS COVETED BY GIANTS
BY GEORGE CHADWICK.

NEW YORK, December 31.-DeSper-
ate for an outstanding star to offset
the popularity of the Yankees with
Babe Ruth. the world champion Giants
are still after Roger Hornsby. and
they stand ready to hand over Heinie
Groh. several other players and big
bunch of coin to get him from St.
Louis.
This is that big, mysterious deal. If
it can be called such. that has been
whispered about in base ball since the
recent meetings. Officials of the New
York club profess to know nothing
about it. Naturally they wouldn't be-
cause it is seldom good poicy- to tell
the public whom you intend to trade.
Nevertheless there is good reason to
believe that the st. Louis manage
ment has been approached again with
view of negotiating a trade involv-
ing Hornsby> and it may be taken for
granted that the New York club is
willing to make a more attractive bid
than it did last summer. when its cash
offer of $250,0o0 for the star was
turned down. On the other hand.
nothing has been heard to indicate
that the Cardinals would be willing to
trade Hornsby for any consideration.
The pennant bee is buzzing strongly
in st. Louis, and fans in the Mound
city would raise an awful storm of
protest if \. club gave up its best
man to strengthen its strongest rival.
Manager Branch Hickey declared
not more than two weeks ago that
there was nothing that the New York
club could offer which would induce
him to part with Hornsby, and he said
it in the face Of a statement attributed
to Hornsby that he would not sign
another contract for less than $4,000
for three years.

Few persons who are informed will
dispute the selection of Ray Schalk to
head the catchers. The White Sox
Pepper Box" has set a record never
in base ball for endurance
In mechanical excellence he has GER
tainly had no superiors, and it is
doubtful there has been his equal be-
hind the bat, when the ability to
break up opposing plays, handle diff
cult and uncertain pitching, and to
inject a fighting, winning spirit in
tagging fellow-players is considered.
Based on his work during the season
just closed, Ed Charity Of Wash
ington seems to have a trifle of ad-
vantage over several other high-class
workmen. Charity is young, big,
powerful. and knows the game. He
is always far up the list in assists.
he is a competent receiver. a strong
batter for a catcher, not. slow on the
position to do his full share of work.
The infield and outfield selections
need no explanations. 1t is hard, of
course, to leave infielders like Dykes,
r. Jones and Mc1nnis
off first team" list, but the figures
speak 1OT themselves. Lie Sdiuc Icd-
sons go for the omission Of Heilman,
Hooper, Rice and jacobson from the
ortfielders. Look at what his team
can do in the way of making runs;
note the fielding and take into con-
sideration the class of pitching that
it would be supporting.
A team that could score nearly six
runs to the game throughout the sea-
son, that would average only a little
less than eleven hits. with a season
Of 1924 and a fielding record
of 1915 to back up pitching that held
to less than three runs per
game seems to fill the bill.
