Here you are, right off the bat, step up and look 'while you have the opportunity. Only picture in captivity of "Puncher Fred" Clarke. Clarke is shown at his favorite pastime when on the ranch near Winfield, Kan., where for the past few years he spent his time when not grooming the Pirates for the National league pennant. ' But no more chasing over sloughs

and gorher holed flats for Clarke. He

has disposed of his ranch and hereafter will be a citizen of the effete east. Having won a world's championship, he intends to devote all of his time to the game so long as he remains in it. That there is no misunderstanding between Clarke and his employer, Barney Dreyfuss, is apparent from the words in Clarke's hand written across the face of the photograph.

George H. Smith Pioneer

BY ISAAC JESKI.XSO.W

George H. Smith today celebrated the ninetieth anniversary of his birth at his beautiful residence, south of the city, only near relatives assisting. The grandsons. Harold and Lloyd Smith of Indianapolis, were not present. The family connection being large, and the circle of warm friends still wider, there was naturally no lack of congratulatory messages. Mr. Smith is the last of his generation of the well-known family which emigrated from Bourbon county. Kentucky, April. to the lands near Elkaorn, which have ever since been in their possession. The honored nonegenarian after his life of enterprise has comfortably withstood the inroad of age. and is able to enjoy the new, wonderful conditions of modern development. The unremitted care-taking of a devoted wife has been a factor in his unusual longevity. A career of honorable activities has won him deserved esteem.

SESSION A BIG OfiE

DIAMOND CHIPS

Jack Dunn, owner of the Baltimore club, declares that he is through with the playing end of the game. He will be a bench leader this season. Old Fox Griffith has signed Edward Lynch of Pittston, Pa., who pitched phenomenal ball in the Ohio-Pennsylvania League last year. Dr. Frank Hahn and "Happy Jack" Sutthoff, both former pitchers for the Reds, have signed to play this season with the College Hill team, a semi-pro. organization of Cincinnati.

The Western League is still in a bad way as the result of a schedule splitting similar to that of the National League. It is said that several of the magnates out there will hardly even notice one another.

INJURIES ARE VERY SLIGHT

Why Tad Jones will agree to play semi-pro. ball this summer and not listen to overtures from big league clubs is a mystery. He will be classed as a professional in any event after playing against pro- clubs and with semi-pros.

As yet George Davis has not made up his mind what to do. A club looking for a scout who is strictly there would do well to look over the former White Sox star. None of them had anything on George when he was right.

Columbus of the American Association has on its roster eleven players who were formerly with Cleveland. They are: Pitchers, Liebhardt, S itton, Upp and Winchell; outfielders, Clarke, Congalton, Hinchman and Reilly; first baseman, Rossman; third baseman, Friel, and catcher, Schreck.

In an effort to pass a grocery delivery wagon on the Peacock road, West Richmond, yesterday afternoon, about 4:30 .o'clock, the large automobile driven by Mayor W. W. Zimmerman skidded and went over an eight

foot embankment. Dr. Zimmerman and his assistant were slightly injured but considered themselves very fortunate in not sustaining bad injuries. The car was considerably wrecked, although not irreparably. At the time of the accident, Dr. Zimmerman was driving the machine at a very slow rate of speed. The driver of the delivery wagon, who is

a boy, thought he had given the auto sufficient road. The machine turned over and was stopped by striking a fence. Dr. Zimmerman showed rare presence of mind in taking out the spark plug and preventing a fire. His injuries consist of a wrenched back and bruises.

disaster, the operator in F. T. tower in the east end Pennsylvania railroad yards, acted on the impulse of the moment and to his alleged good judgment probably a score of persons owe their lives. It is alleged that the operator, when he saw the freight train approaching on the right of way, realized that it would meet the passenger at the junction in a few minutes, so he turned the "D" rail in the tower, causing the freight to take the siding and run off of the embankment. Averted a Bad Wreck. But the passenger train was saved and no one was injured, while other wise, it is alleged, had the operator not acted as it is alleged he did, the damage caused by the collision between the two trains would have been great and the loss of life doubtless heavy. The railroad officials refused to discuss the affair or to give out the name of the operator whose quick judgment is alleged to have prevented a frightful accident. However, the officials did not deny the affair and in this respect the rumor was verified. Three of the freight cars toppled over the embankment and eight hogs were killed. The wreckage was soon

cleared away, but for a time it was i one the brightest stars in the athletic

(American News Service) Philadelphia, Pa., March 1. With a large number of labor unions endorsing the proposition of a general strike in order to force the Street Railway company to arbitrate and the latter company declaring they can settle the strike without arbitrating, the newspapers of Philadelphia today united in a unanimous demand for a settlement by the arbitration method. Department stores and other business interests, which are losing an estimated half million dollars a day because of the strike are also using every influence to avert a general strike. Powerful influences, political as well as commercial are striving for a peaceful settlement. A conference was held today, company officials and city officials being present. Collision of cars, evidently due to Inexperienced motormen, caused wild excitement today and the motorman sought refuge to prevent a lynching.

Pitcher Friene, the Santa Clara, (Cal.) youngster whom Connie Mack has landed, wil probably join the team in the south. No man that has twirled on the coast in many years made as great a reputation as Connie's young one. He pitched marvelous ball against the White Sox last spring when he was a college boy.

PORK STILL SOARS

With the advance in the price of hogs in the eastern and middle western markets to $10.25 today, which is the best price ever paid in aav of those markets, local quotations also took a running broad jump and several sales were made at S9.23 a hundred. This is the highest price ever

Ancient Trades Unions. Seven thousand years ago there were trades unions la Nineveh and Babylon, and so strict were their rules that In some cases the penalty of death was inflicted for infringing them. Each man's work was strictly defined, and even the number of hours that lie was allowed to work was stated In the charter of his guild or union. Later exactly the same state of affairs existed in rompeii. and inscriptions bare been discovered statins Specific appointments of officials to trades unions. The most powerful of those appears to have been the Fishermen's guild.

Queer Ornaments Worn by Natives of Northern Alaska. Perhaps the most interesting archaeological discovery made on the north coast of Alaska has a relation to the present methods of personal decoration now used by the natives of Alaska, the most significant feature of which is the wearing of lip buttons, or labrets, by the men. The present custom is that when a boy is fourteeo or sixteen years of age boles are pierced in his lower lip. one below each corrier of the mouth. A small wooden plug is at first inserted to keep the hole from growing together, and month by month a bigger and bigger plug is used, till finally the openings are balf an inch In diameter. At this point the young man begins to wear stone or ivory plugs. Tbese ornaments are put in from the inside ordinarily as one might insert a button Into a shirt front Usually the two buttons worn are each of a different sort, while sometimes only one of the holes is tilled, and in summer men are occasionally met with wbo wear no buttons at all. When a visitor is seen approaching, however, the ornaments are always inserted, for one does not feel dressed without them. In preparing for sleep they are usually removed. V. Stefansaon ia Harper's Magazine.

WHAT M. CLARK GOT

While intoxicated, Mark Clark Called up police headquarters this morning and notified Sergeant McNally that he was going to visit Herbert Green, the liveryman, and an attempt to collect some money which he alleged was due him for employment. The man was warned to delay the visit until he had sobered up. However about an hour later Clark again called up McNally and declared that he had made the call much to his dissatisfaction for instead of getting the money he had received a severe beating. Clark was later arrested by Patrolman Vogelsong and slated for intoxication.

' When pressed for a reason in taking this unlooked for step Martin said: "There are no particulars at all not a thing for a good story. Simply when a man has been competing for ten years, and I started in 190O, he gets tired of continually running, jumping and hurling weights. "You know," continued Martin, "I'm a pretty heavy man, and it's hard work to keep in shape. I guess that's why Jeffries quit his game. Well, it's the same here. That's all."
