There was a chance to wipe out that 1919 series, big Irishman named Fog Finnegan where the white suddenly changed who had been a hot Cub rooter. to black. The Cubs had just won the National league pennant with 116 victorious er THE where. Then suddenly it began to happen. The helpless Sox began to win game after game, until they had won 19 in a row and moved into first place. How did this happen so suddenly? In the first place, they had a grand catcher Billy Sullivan. In the second place they had a fine pitching staff headed by Big Ed Walsh, Doc White and Nick Altrock. The Sox couldnt hit but they had a strong defensive club, with Jiggs Donahue, Frank Isbell, George Rohe in the infield and a good outfield built around Fielder Jones. The ballplayer who actually led the White Sox insurrection was Jiggs Donahue, the fiery Irishman playing first. He not only handled the bag brilliantly, but he was the flaming spirit of the team. If any one of his fellow players started loafing or not giving his entire all, Donahue would threaten to brain him. lie rode the team with savage and untiring venom. That Sox rally won the 1906 pennant although Cleveland had a great team, with seven or eight .300 hitters and a fine pitching staff that had Addie Joss, William Bernhard, Otto Hess, Dusty Rhodes, Earl Moore and others.

How a man can be such a sucker and still live is beyond me. Obadiah blushed to the roots of his hair. Why, shucks, I didnt do anything. It was just an idea I had that I mentioned to Mr. Norbert.

Mr. Maurice, began Obadiah firmly, I want to know why it is that you pay $2000 to Noel Norbert for writing scenarios that I think up. No, dont answer. I know why.

I mean, you can drive a horse to water but you cant make him willing I mean, drink. Or something. Anyway, Im quitting. The Pacific studios have offered me a thousand a week to work for them. Obadiah paused, breathing heavily, and mopped his brow. Well, he said, I guess thats all. Is that so? said Mr. Maurice. Well, young man, youre wrong. That aint half of it. And he punched a bell button on his desk. RDA ADAMS was eating dinner in the same little restaurant on Sunset that evening when Obadiah came in. Well, he said, Ive been raised from $60 a week to $1000. So I heard, said Ada, Congratulations. Ill bet you could have got more, however, if youd gone back to Pacific and told them that Maurice was meeting their price. "I couldnt, said Obadiah, because Pacific never offered anything in the first place. h Ada stared in wonder. Well, well, well, she said. And likewise, well. Even if they had, said Obadiah, I couldnt have thought up ideas for Pacific anyhow. Why? asked Ada. Because you wouldnt have been there, said Obadiah. All those ideas I thought up were about you and me. Just seeing you put them into my head. Without you I couldnt think of anything. In fact, he added, sometimes I cant think of anything with you.

Fine dust particles of the fungicides and insecticides are charged with from 12,000 to 20,000 volts as they emerge from the nozzle of a regular commercial dusting machine. This high charge is held for several seconds. With dusts blown at a velocity of a mile a minute, it permits them to travel a great distance before losing the electric charge. Engineers estimate the cost of necessary electrical attachments for the ordinary four-roduster would run around $300. agricultural w Few Hours Spent Cleaning Farm Pays Big Dividends For the housewife who wants to paint her flower pots before resetting plants, here is an easy, clean way to get the job done.
