HUGE FIELD HOUSE

what are the prospects for
Cleveland this year," the erst-
while umpire was asked.
"Oh, not so good right now,
but when we get Joe Judge to
play first and Honey Hunnefield,
of the White Sox, to play Sec
ond, we will be setting pretty"
was the quick response.
And there you have the Cleve-
land angle of a deal which has
been in the air for nearly three
months now. but for some rea-
son or other hit q snag in its
incipiency which was at New
York last December. Evans
went to the New York meeting
all primed to grab Judge, but
got tricked out of the DEAL he
had in. mind, which involved
Walter Miller but no cash.
That Judge will go hence
from Washington is almost in
evitable, as it is not to be
expected President Griffith will
keep to high-powered first base
men on his pay roll and it's
more or less Of a cut and dried
cinch that George SisIer was
not bought for SIS, 900 with any
idea Of letting him loose.
Judge still has plenty Of first
basing in his system and it
seems logical that. he will be
traded while he still has a high
trading value; so don't be sur
prised to hear of his going to
Cleveland. Evans thinks he'll
go there, and Evans ought to
know.
Baseball now has five bespec-
tacled players, four Of them be-
ing pitchers and the other an in
fielder. Bill Carrigan has two
such new specimens in his
camp at Bradentown, Fla, they
being Pete Traynor, from Port
land, and Charles Small, from
Gloucester, Me. Carmen Hill
and Lee Meadows, Of the
Pirates, are the other two
twirlers who wear cheaters and

Whatever the feeling may be
locally as to just how Joe
Judge is to put in his time dur
ing the coming summer, there is
one man who is pretty well up
on his baseball who believes
Joe will be cavorting at first
base for Cleveland ere the
month of April is very far adj
vanced.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-02-29

That man is Billy Evans, gen.

inadvertently when being inter-
viewed by a neutral corre-
spon6ent; that is, one who rep
resents neither a Cleveland or

The son of DR.. Gustave Holland.

and publisher. was born in Calves
ton on September %, 1852. The
Tear Of his mother for the safety of
ms father, who was a blockade run
ner during the days OF the Confed-

Frank Holland spent his boyhood
days In Galveston, attending school
no more than 10 months Of that
time. Later he attended the Read
ing Institute, at Reading Ridge,
Conn.,, and other private schools, re-
turning to Galveston in 1870 as n
transfer agent on a steamship line.
His first position was on a coasting

opportunities for study.

savings and obtained a connection

publication issued at Austin, work

Now DESTROYS of going into bust
ness for himself, Mr.. Holland made
a survey of the field and discovered
that while secular, religious and pol
itical journals were coming to the
front, nothing was being done for
the advancement Of the farmer. The
result was that in 1883 he launched

these he maintained until the United
States Department Of Agriculture
took over operation Of such sta
