A Wonderful
Infield

Jack Doyle. the Chicago Cub
scout who was visitor here for a
few days recently. was the first
sacker OF the old Baltimore Orioles
when they were in their prime.
There was one OF the best in.
fields of all time on that team.
Doyle at first, Kid Gleason at sec.
ond. John McGraw at third and
Hugh Jennings at shortstop was
the quartet. Any base-runner who
made the trip around the bases
against that team had plenty Of
trouble. They knew all Of the
tricks Of the trade and they used
them all. too.
Doyle says the game has un.
doubtedly speeded up because of
the use OF better gloves and the
rabbit ball. but they don't fight
any harder than they did in those
old days.

There are seventeen states and
countries in which there Is some
geographical use of the word Snake
in connections with streams, islands
or mountains. There are twelve
states and territories using the word
an average of two times each.
Suggestion has been made that the
name of Idaho river be applied to
the Snake, and that change ought to
be easily made since it is the main
river of the state. Owing to the manner
in which it was named Snake river
it would be logical to substitute the
WOlu OCl pcutluc river LOT IL S66IQS
to have been named by white men
conversing with Shoshone Indians
in sign language when the white men
misunderstood the signs given. 1t

a serpentine movement meaning to

thus, indicating. But the white men
noted the movement and uttered the
word SNAKE" and from then on
they spoke of them as the Snake
Indians and of their country as the
Snake country. Neither Lewis nor
Clark came over the range, and the
name of Lewis or Snake river at

half a century.
The word ''serpentine" ought to be
attractive enough to satisfy the tim

1t is much used in describing dresses,
dances, marches and as an index
of grace and ease, and it correctly
describes the directions and the easy
rushing movement of the river on
it's slick bed of gravel. Unfortunate
ly it has three syllables and is twice
as long as the present name, but
then 1t is a long river.
