That was that.
But after the playing season

at Rogers and urged Higgins to
give him a trial. Hornsby was
played at short. It is recorded
that he failed to slam out a hit to

He crouched low over the plate,
gripped his bat away up and
hit .246.
Higgins decided to farm out the
kid, but when Rogers showed uI
the next spring he was a different
ball player. Hornsby had farmed
himself out, had worked like a Tro
jan on a farm all winter and had
added weight and strength to his
frame.
Higgins set to work then to
correct the youths batting faults
and, before the training season
had ended, he was hitting the
ball Squarely with . free, easy
swing.
He won the first game of the
spring series with the Browns with
two triples, each of which showed
over two runs. Before the season
ended every big league manager and
mogul realized that in Hornsby the
Cards had a wonderful player.
Branch Hickey, a year ago, placed
Hornsby when he announced that
100000 would not buy the brilliant
star. Since then. however, Hornsby
and Hickey have disagreed so often
that the Cardinal boss Is said to
be willing to part with him for
something like that amount and
some good players.
All Of which should make one
conductor down in Texas-if he's
still there-laugh raucously.

"A male and female were these an

Adam and Eve Of Chesapeake Bay
dogs. Adam and Eve were presented
as gifts of gratituderto valorus sea

the risk of losing his own vessel,
rescued the sailors from Newfound-

The captain in turn gave Adam

Of consequence there exists today
an admirable breed Of dogs, said to
be the greatest of all duck retrievers,
OF which Nellie Gusts Is a splendid
specimen. Chesapeake Bays are
water dogs and have been bred from
Adam and Eve down to the present
time to retrieve ducks.
It was by establishing what is
believed to DO a world record In
persistence in the pursuit Of a
wounded duck that Nellie Gusts
endeared herself to Randolph and
won her lasting fame In the ro-
giOn Of the PianlSatank river,
WnbCH COukCcC NQIO040SCx county,
Va; In which Is Harmony village.
For eight long, bitter hours, on
cold winter evening, Nellie Gusts
trailed a slightly winged duck up
the Piankatank river. It was q
chase that holds a distinctive place
in duck hunting history. It led
over and under, intermittently, an
ice-cluttered stream.
Nellie upheld in a noble way the
tradition of her breed that any
wounded bird a Chesapeake bay
Is. sent to retrieve. must be brought
back to the huntsman.
Randolph and his companion wit
messed only the beginning Of the
race between the duck and the dog,
the duck with it's life at stake, the
dog with her loyalty to her master
put to the test.
=. Wherever went the duck, so fol-
lowed the dog, under the large
floating pans Of Ice and over
them, and through free spans Of
bitingly cold water.
At l o'clock in the morning Nellie
returned to camp. She laid the
duck at the masters feet. Then
keeled over.
One drink remained in the mas
ter's flask. You know what he
did with 1t.
II thank you," barked Nellie,
feebly, and curled up and slept.

American history holds abundant
reason for your particular pride in

your part in the war Of the revolu-

Of it with honor.
"You took up the burdens and

Mr.. Daniel further said that while

to hockey today when the workmen
finished constructing the ring on the
Delta. The rink will be Immediately
flooded in order that the lce-birds
may get on their skates as soon as
possible. Advance dope indicates a
successful season for the protegees
of Coach Ben Houser, first Bowdoin
hockey coach since Prof. Means
turned out teams.
Eight letter men would appear to
be the basis for this years six. An
abundance of material is present in
college. The only loss so far appears
to be that of A. w. Tolman. soalie
two years ago. who dislocated his
knee cap. in a strenuous game of fra
ternity tag football and will be UNI
able to play hockey this year.
Many of the hockerN men have
been working with Ben Houser's
soccer men this Fall to keep In con-
dition. The result is that the cand1-
dates will probably be able to start
off on the rink at nearly full speed.
Capt. Preble. Roger Littlefeld. john
ny Cronin and Barrett Nichols are
four of last years forwards left who
seem to be favored for those posi-
lions this year. Charlie Cutter, the
fiashy center, should once more speed
along center ice until some new
conner springs the unexpected by
beating him to tina. position.
With all the material present and
with a coach to keep them. organic

to have a good chance to take the
state title away from Bates and
keep it from Colby.
