Art Nehf Tells OF Greatest Play He Ever Saw
BY NORMAN E. BROWN

ORLANDO, Fla, March IA
The greatest play l ever saw in
baseball?
1T was pulled by little Johnny
Rawlings"
SO says Art Nehf. veteran south
paw pitcher with the Cincinnati
Reds and training with them for
another year in the Big Top.
Nehf has seen plenty baseball
in his II campaigns as major
Lacquer, and while helping pitch
the Giants to four pennants in a
row and then winning a game in
each one of those series.
He ought to have seen some
brilliant plays
Rawlings made the play in the
last game of the 1921 series be-
tween the Giants and Yanks. :"
went on Nehf after 1 had put the
query to him during a tanning
bee.
.It was the eighth game. A win
for us would give us the series.
,, ~Waite Hoyt was working for
the Yankees and l was trying for
the third time to beat him. When
the Yankees went to bat in the
ninth the score was l to 0 in our
favor.
How II Was Done.
"Ruth started and grounded
to Kelly Aaron Ward walked
and then Frank Baker came
up. When he hit one toward
right field knew needed
help. 1t looked like sure hit,
dead between first and second.
rawlings saw that he couldn't
lreach the bah on his feet and dove
lfor it. Now. you've seen players
dive for ball and knock it down.
Rawlings, somehow, held the ball
! in his glove, acturalIy turned over,
transferred the ball to his throw
! ing hand while spinning. threw it
to Kelly and rolled over again.
| The ball beat Baker to first
'In the meantime Ward figured
! it was sure enough hit and lit
out for third Kelly threw the ball
| like rifle shot to third and his
throw beat Ward. The Yankee in
fielder ran into Frisch and the
force of the blow knocked Frisch
beyond the 4coaeher's box. But
KLEIN. umpiring at third, had been
on the play and called Ward out.

WALTER doc" eAuTREAu,

Because he's the smallest man
in major league baseball-and
proud of it.
Because he stands 5 feet 2 IL
inches tall when he has both heels
on the carpet.
Because Connie Macks once had
him and decided that Docs size
and Max Bishops ability as sec
ond would prevent the former
from starring as a Mackian.
Because Dave Bancroft, Brave
pilot. gave him trial and had the
satisfaction Of seeing Gautreau
play a brilliant game in 1925.
Because 10000 fans turned out
on "Gautreau Day. that year to
pay him tribute.
Because he found the going too
rough last season-his fielding
and batting dropping consider
ably-but didn't give up.
And because both he and Ban
croft count on his returning to his
1926 form this year and showing
the National League that good

CAPE MAY FOE
OF HIGH TONIGHT
Final Basketball Game of the
Schedule Played Away
TuckertOn Defeated

The curtain on the high school
basketball season drops tonight as
Cape May High school is met at
Cape May. The southern county
boys put up hard fight when they
lost to the Maroon in the cage
here by 1924 score the latter
part of January, and win make the
visiting High school five travel at
fast pace to, win.
Incidentally, the playing careers
of Captain "Bill'' Green, Jack
Bradley, Stanley Saracinsky. and
Paul Terry. the big four of the
team, ends. Coach Ty Helfrich and
Coach lack Eliingsworth will be
forced to form another playing
combination for the season next
year To say that their graduation,
which will come this spring, is to
be real loss to the, team don't
express half Of it.
Green and Terry proved to be
one of the best scoring combin-
ations that High school has seen
in number of seasons, while
Saracinsky and Bradley played a
fine game at guard. With larger
floor to practice on, their games
would have been much faster, and
quintet which would have done
greater things might have result
ed.
Coaches of the local High school
team have come to the realization
that they cannot train a team ON
small floor, such as the high
school boasts of, and expect their
players to do something on a
larger court
Tuckerton High school was
again defeated Tuesday night at
Tuckerton by the Maroon. Coaches
Helfrich and Ellingsworth using
eleven players and a dozen differ
ent combination to win by a Ss-19
score.
Capt. Green, Terry. Miller and
Fredericks, the latter getting into
High school game for a first
time this year, were the high
scorers. Terry shot four field
goals. while the other Gagged three
each.
During the first half. with the
regulars working. Tuckerton got
but two points while the Maroon
sent the ball through the net for
% counts. Then the second team
went in, and held the lead until
the end of the game.

Fast Quarter Miller Not Yet
Recovered From Football
Injury

Jacob Scott, the fast quarter
miller who finished first in the half
mile run against Temple High
school last spring, and represent
ed the Maroon as a member of the
quarter mile squad which compet-
ed at the Penn relays and against
Temple and Glassboro High
schools, is lost to the track team
this year.
Scott was injured in the fall,
suffering a broken leg during the
football season. He. has not re-
covered enough from this injury to
run this spring, leaving big gap
in the relay team.
Westcott. Morris, Scott and
Saracinsky were members of the

before the crowd realized what
had happened
What made the play all the
more remarkable was the fact
that Rawlings was playing on
his nerve. He was suffering
from a stone bruise on his
heel and had been playing
with rubber sponge in the
heel of his shoe to ease the
pain.
Johnny seemed to know we
were going to win that series
anyhow. When Hoyt beat me the
first two games we pitched against
each other Rawlings kept saying,
Wen beat these birds yet And
every time the breaks seemed to go
against US he'd chirp the same
phrase
And by some strange twist Of
fate it was RAWLINGS himself who
really won the ses{es for Us with
that one play. ss..

 The Boy Scouts and the Gopher brigade were here, there, everywhere working like beavers.
 As force of habit in laying down 2 smoke screen and barrage to drive the enemy into his dugout and confuse him. someone lit a pile of brush. The result was a the starting of what threatened to become a forest fire. The smoke was so dense that it might have been a gas attack. The army executed flank momement to the east and for an hour it was anybodys fight While the men trenched and checked the advance of the most stub born blaze, the "Gophers" proved real soldiers. With hats, caps, sweaters and coast laden with moist earth the kiddos crept beneath the smoke and smothered the flames from behind. It was like bombing a machine gun nest, and the kiddos won.
 From the headquarters of the Wo- mans Relief Corps, behind the firing line came the call:

JOHN NASH DIES
 ENDING EvENTFUL
 PIONEERING LIFE
OF PIONEER CLUB FORGED TO GIVE UP LONG
 STRUGGLE

John Nash, pioneer, was forced to give up his struggle for life at 5:20 yesterday morning after three weeks of suffering under the painful suffoca- tion of angina pectoris.
 For the 76 years of his life, John Nash has been a real pioneer, born in Mississippi and starting in business at an early age in St. Louis, Mo. He is accredited with being the first man to manufacture footwear on a com mercial basis in that town more than
 50 years ago.
 neer was marked by the early silver strike in Colorado where he accumu- lated wealth amounting to S70,000. The Denver Post at that time called him "the Silver King of North America" |"
 The beach gold mining at Nome then claimed MT. Nash, and it was here that he had the first trouble with his legs, freezing both feet in the deathly cold of the northern winters.
 In 1904 MT. Nosh came to Seward, where he decided to settle down. He homesteaded at the head of Resurrec- tion Bay in 1905. Since that time he sold considerable land approXimating 300 acres. but retained 37 acres which is now left to his estate.
 It was on his homestead and in 1916 that his legs began to bother him again, for after days and months of clearing glacier streams that endan- gered his farm with flood waters, the circulation in his appendages was ham, pered. In the fall of 1922, Dr. J. A. Baughman was consulted in regard to this bad circulatory condition, which returned in evidence the fol lowing fall when gangrene complica- tions set in.
 The respected pioneer was taken to i Anchorage hospital where three times portions of his right leg were ampu- tated. Shortly after, the same con- ditiOn was revealed in the other leg, and amputation was performed in Se- attle Since that time an increase of blood pressure and hardening of the arteries was evidenced, rendering an almost unbearable suffering from pain and loss of sleep. About three weeks ago a true case of angina pectOoris was diagnosed ending finally in death
 Before his death MT Nash asked Sergeant (Director) Honeyman to have his band play where he could hear the music Although the Memo rial exercises were held in the new cemetery, the band did play few numbers on the Brown & Hawkins bal cony opposite John Nash's store with reverent compliance with his last re- quest.
 ] Funeral services will be held at the Seward Undertaking Parlors at D. m. Thursday with the service rites ad- ministered by the Pioneers of Alaska. Frank Moore, president, issued a spe- cial call for all members to attend. The body will be the first to be laid to rest in the new Seward cemetery. ' Children of the Jesse Lee Home.

 After a selection by the band, Mayor L. V. Ray delivered a short address appropos of the day and the dedica ton of the new cemetery was made by MT. Ellis, followed by benediction by Rev. Charles T. Hatten.
 The band then rendered other selec- tions, after which the people returned to Seward.
 An appreciable area was cleared for a cemetery and a greater portion of the driveway leading thereto was graveled.

With the rush Of the floods into

were taken from Vicksburg to

Situation Very Acute
Their homes cngulfed by the rag

were in bclea9ured cities and towns

Reports to the Mississippi river

private boats have been sent to

above the crevasse at Stops Landing
to remove refugees to points of con-

Suffering was said to be intense
