Science Gets Isle
Famous Since 1872

COLUMBUS, Ohio, tP)-ATter flgur-
ing in the history of two wars, Gil
braltar Island tiny dot of land in
Lake Erie, has been turned over to
the interests of science.
The nine-acre isle at the entrance
to Put-In-Bay harbor has become the
Franz Theodore Stone laboratory of
Ohio State university, for use in
summer courses in biological research.
During the war of 1912, Commo-
dore Oliver Habard Perry hid his
fleet in Put-In-Bayt harbor and used
the highest point of Gibraltar Island
as Watchtower to observe the ap-
proach of the British fleet. The bat
tie of Lake Erie was fought nearby.
In 1861, Jay Cooke, great financier
of the Civil war period, bought the
island for a summer home and held
conferences at Cookies Castle, his
great stone residence there, with
many notable figures of the time.
julius F. Stone bought the island
from Cookies descendants in 1925 and
presented it to the university Per-
manent laboratories are being built,
and the students are housed in
Cooks Castle.

Display
OF Knives Looks
Very Attractive

The Douglas Hardware company
is featuring fine line OF cutlery
at this time and have arranged a
display in their show windows which
is worth stopping for. This dis
play shows a large variety of fine
knives. Not only is the display in
teresting because of the way it is
laid out, but because there is some
thing about the knives laying there
t|lt suggests quality.
These knives look as if they would
stand lots OF rough useage, and the
hardware men who are showing them
are willing to guarantee that they
are as good as they look, if not
better. Some very fine cutlery may
be seen at this store in the window
display and in the show cases in
side. It you don't see the thing YOU
want just ask for it.

French Still Troubled
By Confederate Money

PARIS R-Confederate money still
passes at par in many towns OF
France.
Those who have made living by
circulating the obsolete banknotes
seldom bother Paris merchants, but
now and then comes report of a
flood of $50 and $1OO bills. In Ver-
sailles recently a woman had num-
ber of the almost worthless bills ex-
changed for good French money.
Americans frequently offer their
own money in payment at hotels and
large stores, and French merchants
see nothing unusual in the offer Of
such currency. Gradually, however,
they are coming to know regular
United States money through seeing
it in the windows of Foreign Ex-

BILLY EVANS SAYS:
Big Dough Gambled
In Old DaVS

Recently while making a jump
from Boston to st. Louis on the same
train with two American league clubs
l had a chance to study the players
as to how they deported themselves
off the field.
I was struck with the decided con-
trast as to how the players OF today
whiled away their hours, compared
with those of 90 years ago. Whlle
games of chance are still favored
form of amusement, there is Wloe
difference in the stakes and the
games played.
Twenty years ago, as the train
pulled out of the station on one Oh
the long jumps, at least three games
OF draw poker would be in operation
within a half hour. AS a rule the
games and their personnel had been
planned prior to the start.
The "piker" game, So-called, would
be a two-bit limit. Another set would
be playing stud poker, say dollar
a limit with two dollars on the last
card. The third table would either be
table stakes or two dollar bllnd
tiger, the pot always open.
AS a rule a dice game would be IN
operation in the rest room with big
money passing hands.

ride, L marveled at the difference
between them and the old timers.

What They Talk
About Now

Listening to the conversation I soon
discovered that the modern player
talks much less baseball than did the
old timers. That isn't so good.
One group of five players were dis
cussing finance, trying to decide
where to best invest their seasons
savings. An automobile stock was
being reviewed pro and con as a good
investment.
Another bunch was talking golf.
Several expressed the wish that fall
was here so that they might indulge
in the game, same being barred on
the club during the summer The
chance of Bobby Jones to repeat in
the British open was the chief topic
Of conversation.
The only real baseball talk that
overheard came from a veteran star Of
80 years back, now acting as coach,
who had a couple of youngsters sit
ting in the same section with him.
He was trying to explain why base
ball was better game 25 years ago
than today BY the expression on
the rockies faces I could see they
were skeptical.
Most of the other players were
reading either magazines or books
In the old days few of the players
read-some of them couldn't.
Twenty years brought about
many drastic changes in the life
of the ball player, but / cannot
saw that all of it has been for
the betterment of the game.

Stakes Are Much
Less Now

Poker, once the favored game OF
big league ball players to kill the
time, is no longer very popular. Three
other games of chance-bridge, hearts
and ''rummy'-have supplanted draw
poker and it's variations.
1 would say that bridge was by lar
the most popular of the three. A
small limit is played and there IS
little chance of a player to sut1er
financial hardship, even if things
should break badly.
A number of major league managers
are very strict about the gambling
limits and, in some cases, they them
selves set it very low to eliminate the
trouble that invariably results when
one or more in the game get badly
stung.
1 know one former star player, now
big league manager, who admitted
that his winning in poker and dice
reached $1,000 one season. That was
$500 more than he received in actual
salary.
Doing away with the big stakes
has been an excellent thing for
discipline and morale on all major
league clubs. On most clubs AT
rican golf is banned.

Office Lunch Clubs
Numerous In Paris

PRRIS. R)-The mounting cost of
living and growing efficiency of French
office management are said to be re-
sponsible for the increasing number
Of office lunch clubs in Paris.
The clubs, made up of members OF
office staffs who do not go home for
lunch, have hot food sent in to an i'm
provised office lunch room. Members
say that they can thus lunch far more
cheaply than they could in restaur-
ants or at home, allowing for trans
portation costs. Most French offices
close at the lunch hour. This permits
the clubs to lunch undisturbed by
business callers.
