the announcement of the nomination
for president of William Mckinley.
Naturally this issue had an enor-
nous circulation. Over night Paul
Lawrence Dunbar was transformed
from a struggling dreamer to a fa-
nous poet.
Although he had come out of OBJ
security, and was known all over the
country, his financial problems re-
mained as trying as ever. He was ma
turally rather shy and retiring and it
was difficult for him to ask people to
buy his books.
In 1897 he accepted an offer to go
to England as an entertainer. While
there he wrote "The Uncalled," which
is said to be the story of his own life.
1t was not financial success.
He was warmly received in England
and the trip was interesting but he
discovered that he had not paid close
enough attention to the wording oil
his contract before signing it. His
manager was to receive all of the
money while he was to receive only
his living expenses. When this series
Of entertainments closed he had to
send an appeal to friends in America
for funds to come home
After returning to America he was
employed in the Congressional Library
in Washington, D. c. This position
afforded some worthwhile experienc,
and it paid regular salary. There
was some relief from his financial diff
ficulties

JOlley Hitting

Is slugging Smead Jolley the
instrument TO be used by baseball
history to accomplish one of it,
rare repetitions? 1t looks like the
gnarled, Goliath-like Oak may be
headed for another Pacific coast
league batting championship after
a lapse of ten years. His last one
was won in 1928 with the Seals.
Earl Sheely was the only player
to win a second batting title after a
decade had intervened. Sheely led
the league with Salt Lake in 1920
and came back to do so again with
San Francisco in 1880.
Jolley is something Of an anom-
ally. He never has been really hot"
at Wrigley Field, where he figured
to be as torrid as acetyleile torch.
Bill Lane had MIN when he owned
the Hollywood club, and Smead had
a short fling as a pinch-hitter with
the present Hollywood team this
season. Then ne trekked to Oak
land. the toughest park in the
league for hitters, where he prompt
ly proceeded TO lead the league, and
make Victor Devincenzi's down

brought the valley one million dol
lars worth of advertising.
In 1897 Smith took an All-Star
team from Los Angeles and again
toured the nation. His team won
considerably more games than they
lost, returned with money in the
purse.
Smith Returns
This season Smith returned to
the valley and was elected presi-
dent of the nightball league. Smith
wasn't enthusiastic over his new
duties because he had had his fill
of promotion work in the two per-
viouS years.
But he pitched into the battle
with all his energy to put over
the city league. He went further.
He took over the duties of promoter
of the El Centro All-Stars.
He booked tough teams, teams
that put up extra inning battles
with the All-Stars. He took per-
sonal command Of the publicity
drive to make those games draw
large attendance.
The results of his efforts were
startling. Fans streamed to the
Ell Centro park to break attendance
record after attendance record.
All-Stars Rally
The All-StarS ra-lied to his SUP
port by winning games at home.
They've chalked up eight straight
victories and will 60 after a ninth
win when they meet the strong
Long Beach All-Stars, which Smith
booked for next Friday night.
Smiths is a thankless job. If
the gamd5 goes over big other
league officials share the credit.
If it happens to flop Smith is the
goat.
But his enthusiasm, his good
judgment in picking teams, his
ability TO create interest in games
and his hard work, indicate there
will be no flops this season at El
Centro stadium. Yesams%
