Wright was born in New York. He
played base ball in New York when
he was boy. and 1t was because OF
the fine showing that he made in
those games that he was taken up
by the professionals. Long before
there was such a thing as real
base ball stand and a real base ball
ground in New York Wright played
on a field at Morrisania, which is not
far from the spot where the impress
sive and massive stadium of the Yam
KEGS stands.
He was an inflelder, an infelder
who was natural. There was moth
ing to be taught to him, because
when he became proficient with ad-
vancing years he could teach to 9TH
ers. When he had absorbed the rules
OF the game its playing technique
seemed to be an open lesson to him.
He could make stops of balls that
other players could not reach and he
could make catches that other play
ers could not get to. He was a
strong and powerful batter. and his
ability to hit a ball well has lasted
him to his golfing days, where, even
II the swing is different, he can get
on the ll.because he knows how to
swing a club.

excellent catcher. 1t was he who
made the last throw in 1870 in the
game in which the Cincinnatis were
beaten for the first time in two sea

the runner out. and the game was Jos;

Each girl of marrying age who signifies her willingness to take husband is given a full outfit of clothing, an outfit of linen, and $10 in currency as a dowry, from the Amer icaHs. Scores of girls and youth have taken advantage of the Americans of fer and have asked the officials of the Near East relief, who are in charge of the orphanages to find suit able life partners.
 For some time past the Armenian authorities have been alarmed at the rapid decrease, not only in the popu- lation in Armenia, but in the number of Armenians scattered throughout the world According to a recent census the present inhabitants of Ar menia, which is now under bolshevik rule number only 100000. The world population of Armenians, in- cluding those in the United States, is estimated at 3,OOO,OOO.
