HIGGINS SEEKS
DUN|D|lT, ONCE
GRIFFN|AN :

NEW YORK, Oct. rs. beyond an
attempt to land another left-hand
pitcher and an outfielder who bats
right-handed, Miller Huggins de.
clared that he intended to stand pat
on the Yankee lineup for next sea
son, in q statement made public to-
day. He declined to say whether
another attempt would be made TO
obtain Jake May, left-hander Of the
Vernon club Of the Pacific Coast
League.
1t is understood that Higgins is
angling for Benny Karr, pitcher and
pinch hitter of the Atlanta club. He
is also said to be in the market for
George Dumont, a pitcher of the
same team, formerly with the Griff-
men.

about decided to play all his games
In the future with teams South of
the Mason and Dixon line.
While Fetzer's team never are
weak on the defense, it is on the
offense that they show to the
greater advantage. He is a close
student of the game and a deviser
OF plays, and his elevens are prone
to display a versatile attack that
gives the opposition plenty of
figuring to diagnose.
Word from Chapel Hill, n. C..
Is that all his players are i'm the
best of trim for the game with
Maryland. A few were nursing
slight injuries, but as the team
has not played since it beat North
Carolina State last Thursday
they have had plenty Of time to
recuperate.
Maryland plans to be we'll
equipped mentally and physically to
battle the Tarheels. Yesterday the
College Parkers staged a scrimnage
with the Third Army Corps team.
This afternoon they will rehearse
all their plays at length on the field
and after dinner will go over them
again at a blackboard drill, at
which Coach Byrd will be the pre-
siding officer.

1t is possible to extend the stands
to the fence and to reconstruct the
bleachers to care for many more
customers. Comiskey Park now has
seats for $4,000, but the Sunday
game of the city series attracted
more than Al 800 paid
All etold, some $4,000 persons were
within the Enclosure. This forced
fans onto the playing field. In a
world series this is not allowed. How
many more would have attended IL
they had been able to gain admission
is problem.
G. A. COmiskey was one Of the
first major league club owners to
fOrSee the possibilities Of the pas
time. and when he moved from
Thirty ninth street to ThiFtY-fiftIl
he constructed an establishment
thought ample for years to come.
However, the most visionary Of the
club owners shot short of the
mark, and so plans are being laid
to enlarge the South Side stadium.
Up north the Ieftfield bleachers

Unless inclement weather again

meet in the Central stadium.
Western has been the ruling
favorite, but scholastic difficulties
and injuries to several OF the Rock

during the past few days, has
lowered their stock.
Eastern's showing In the five
contests they have played has been
nothing to enthuse over. They

Maine GOSSIP
The Dream Of the wanderer


Last night / had a dream
or my old homestead down In Maine
l saw the lowing cattle
Slowly creeping down the lane.
The dropping willow trees o'erhung
The pool of days of yore.
I walked again the shady lanes
Where had walked before.
On the barn there was q sign
Which told that "Beecham's Pills
were fine.
The door upon the chicken house
Said Cream of Wheat for Nine"
On the garden gate was posted this:
Take Grape Nuts for Your Brain.
That's the dream l had last night
OF my old homestead down in Maine
l saw majestic maple trees
That reached up to the skies.
They made my heart thrill sadly
And brought tears into my eyes,
I saw the oaken bucket
Bring it's treasure from the we'll,
And heard again the songs the birds
Were singing in the dell.
On the pasture fence my eyes !
Were greeted with some "DiamoESl
Dyes"
And further on a tale was told
How Crisco' Pies" were fried,
The barnyard door was posted DER
With use Alfalfa GRAIN" -
That's the dream l had last night

MAN AND AMERICA

The skull of a primitive man has
been unearthed at Santa Barbara,
California, which affords evidence
that men died in the glorious eli
mate Of California as far back as
$4,000 years.
A learned professor of anth-
ropology assumed that this skull came
from the tertiary period and will be
epoch making IL that can be proved.
Heretofore no evidence has been
found in this country to show that
man was here prior to the glacial
period. $4,000 years ago. The
scientists have been puzzled, how
ever. over the fact that twhile Ian
guage develops very slowly some
fifty different languages have been
found in America as compared with
half that number in Asia and Eu-
rope combined. Now II man is
shown to have been here as far
back as the tertiary period this puz-
element over languages will be re-
iieved and America can boast an
ancestry as ancient as that of the
old world.

BY and by, they saw queer little

tired they dropped to the earth and
knocked on the door. Just then a
