commended to Cobb by Dan
HOwIey, Toronto manager, and
by Oscar Stanage, who caught
for Toronto last year and who Is
with Detroit this year as coach.
In an exhibition game last spring
Doyle held the Tigers hitless for
six innings.
Although nothing official has
been said on the subject, the i'm
preston here is that Cobb intends
to start the season with eight in
fielders. Johnny Neun, first base
man, and Jack Travener, shortstop,
are slated as the additions. Blue,
Rigney, Jones, O'Rouke and Haney
are the other infielders.
Neun the club Is almost forced
to keep. That is, he cannot be sent
to the minors without the fifteen
clubs of the major leagues waving
on him. Neun has been up twice
now, both times with the Tigers.
Baseball law does not permit the
release of a player under option
more than twice.
OF the recruits here Neun Is the
least worried about making good.
If Detroit decides to let him go
there are perhaps half dozen
clubs in both leagues who would
refuse to waive on him.

SAND TEE PASSING OUT.

New ideas in golf come along
quite often, but few ever make
good. The little artificial tee
has come to stay. There are
several kinds on the market, in
GLIDING wire contraptions, but
the most convenient appear to
be the design in the picture.
Experts find the new ). tee
practical and convenient, as the
ball stands up better, giving
the driver clean sweep.
Golfers in America are in the
The Washington times., 1925-03-17

habit of making their own tee,
but in Great Britain this is
part of the caddie's job. The
player picks out the spot and
indicates where the ball should
be teed with his club. Over
here we prefer to tee our own
ball and prefer also to have the
caddie we'll down the course so
that he can see the ball when
it drops. The little ready-made
tees solve the problem nicely
and the English can now see
our way of doing it.

The statement that Sylvester
johnson and PiIlette are in danger
of release has more to it than a
guess.
johnson and Pillette were pur-
chased by Detroit from the Portland
club of the Pacific Coast League
four years ago for a reported price
of $4,000. Johnson was the star
of the deal, but he injured his
wrist during the season of 1922 and
has never been particularly ef-
fective since. Pillette had one
good year. Neither was of much
value last season. Johnson pitched
20 games, won five and lost four.
Pillette was in, ninteen game and
was credited with winning one and
losing one.
Jesse Doyle, the new face on
the Tiger staff, is chosen over
the others, it is felt, because Of

ELLSWORTH CHURCH
PRESENTED WITH BELL

The congregation of the Big River
Presbyterian church has presented
the Ellsworth church with their
beautifully toned bell, which now
hangs in the Big River church edi-
fee, unused for many years. The bell
is made of bronze and silver and is
said to be one of the best toned bells
in the state. 1t weighs $500 pounds.
The bell will be placed in the local
church within week.
Not only the Presbyterian congre-
cation, but the Village of Ellsworth
itself, appreciates this gift of the
Big River Presbyterians. JAS. Boles,
father of Mrs. w. j. Buckner, helped
to build the Big River church and
was a member of the congregation
for over so years. 1t was largely
through his efforts that the bell was
secured for the local church.-Pierce

COUPLE ARE REVIVED
AFTER FIFTY YEARS

Chippewa Falls.-Fifty years ago
a 19-year old boy and girl walked up
to the altar of the tiny church of
Knapp, Wis, and were married.
Yesterday they were wed again af-
ter having been separated nearly
half a century by divorce.
When the martial difficulties came
they separated and drifted apart and
finally married other mates. Within
a few years one was a widower and
the other a widow and they lived as
single.
Then the other day Miss Eliza
Smith of Seattle, Wash, came back
to Wisconsin. She went to Knapp.
There was her boy-husband, Henry
d. Cumming, living there just as he
had been when they were divorced.
The two met" again and on the
fiftieth anniversary of their mar
riage they again became man and
wife. The Rev. V. C. Kegley of
Knapp read the ceremony.

INFORMATION ON TAXES

Assessor of Incomes, G. L. Wine
gar, has called the local assessors OF
Pierce and St. Croix counties for
a joint conference to be held at Odd
Fellows Hall in River Falls, Wednes-
day, April Is, commencing at 10
o'clock in the forenoon. This is
somewhat earlier than the assessors
meetings are generally held, the OBJ
ject being to enable Pearce Tomkins,
the tax commissions field man, to be
present and address the meeting.
Mr.. Tomkins is a lawyer, was at one
time a member of the state senate,
and for the past several years has
devoted his entire time to assessment
and taxation questions. He is recog-
nized as one Of the best posted men
in the state on matters of taxation
and his message should be of great
benefit to local assessors in making
their 1925 assessment. While the
law requires the attendance of all
assessors, it is not an exclusive meet
ing. Everyone is invited to attend,
and a special invitation is extended
to members Of the county board.

PARK SLICKED UP
FOR SUMNER USE

The city crew, under direction of
Mr.. Buck has been putting in some
hard ticks at Glen Park the past two
weeks and have slicked up the place
beautifully in readiness for the sum-
mer tourists and local picknickers.
River Falls has one of the most
beautiful parks in the Northwest,
and with the greatly increased motor
traffic, it has become the mecca of
thousands every Sunday and steady
stream of visitors on week days.
Twin City motorists find this spot
especially convenient for short Sun
day runs, and picnic here while MAX
ing a round-trip jaunt via Hudson
and Prescott.
Glen Parks zoo is the source of
great interest to these visitors, and
Billy" and Betty" the bears, and
the deer, the badgers, the foxes and
ring-neck pheasants furnish lots of
entertainment for youngsters as well
as for the older folks.
Anticipating large increase in
the number of visitors this summer
the park board has added lots more
benches and tables, and the place will
now have accommodations for nearly
all who could be crowded into the
park.
