Fielder Jones, one-tim- e manager of I De Chicago White Sox, Is a former Major leaguer who has made good in ; 'Ute business world after bis baseball 5 iays ended. A ,, Jones quit the game to enter the . Jwnber business In Portland, Ore. And km Is making a success of his work, r as greut a success as he did as a base- - i , ball munager. The present generation f fans do not remember him, but the J older element recall Jones when he j led the White Sox to a pennant In 1900 and later a world's champion-ship over the Chicago Cubs. , That season the White Sox were known as the "hitless wonders." They did, not have a .300 hitter on the club, but Nick Altrock, Ed Walsh, "Doc" White, three great pitchers, stopped the other fellows from making runs while the Sox made their few bits count for enough to win. " Jones was a great believer in inside baseball. The Sox attack was mixed .DP continually. When the rivul club ; 'was set for the hit and run, the Sox .:. bunted their way around or resorted ; to stealing liases. Few better base- - running teams ever appeared in the professional ranks. ' One of the favorite Sox stunts was to wait out a pitcher. They would let .a him pitch his hardest for seven In-nings, sometimes with one or two hits .. off blm, then bunch two or three hits , with a base on balls and a sacrifice hit or two for enough runs to win. If the rivals made an error, the Sox made the most of It. Few teams were i ever more alert for a slip on the part i of the opposition. It was nothing un- - ' usual for them to get a man to second ( '; v base on a wild throw. They would sacrifice him to third and either squeeze-pla- y him along or else come through with a hit when It was need-- . ' ed. A base on ball or a hit batsman always resulted In their favor. With a run or two, behind classy pitching, the Sox went along with lit-tle to worry about. They had a great fielding club and Jones, the manager, was a genius In directing the defense as well as the offense and knew how to handle pitchers.

Below him, fur, far below blm, was the flat and even earth. Hut he could look down without feeling dizzy. People who climbed great heights might feel dizzy but not the Duck Hawk, nor any member of his family. He was stuudlng right on the very edge too. He knew lie would not fall. He knew even If he felt like going ofT that ledge Unit lie could simply spreud his great wings and fly. Then, too, his feet were so splendid and strong. He bad great, enormous feet. And he was very proud of It lie didn't try to squeeze his feet of cover them up or hide them. Out-spread were his feet, and so proud of them was he Hint he liked the mime often given to the family beside that of Duck Hawk. Many called him (he Great-foote- d Hawk, and he was pleased with that name. lie felt that It made blm seem so powerful. People might wear shoes Olid so try to make their feet look smaller than they were. Or maybe they weren't foolish enough to pinch their feet, but per-bup- s they didn't show them off. He wouldn't have worn shoes on his great feet. Not he. Nor would any bird or creature of the He had heard of children who went bare-foote- In the summer time, and he thought they were sensible. He had heard of children, too, who were proud when they did not take small sizes of shoes. Oh, how proud he was of his feet. He stood now upon a great ledge look-ing very handsome. He was a huge, enormous big fellow. On either side of his mouth or throat was a black patch which he called his mustache. It did look as though he wore a mustache. His waistcoat was of white with shadings of buff and speckled with Right on the Very Edge. smart, stylish black touches. Ills cont was of slute blue. It was a gorgeous coat, and his cap matched his coat, but was of a slight-ly darker shade. It was not so very long since hf had been a young fellow with a suit-able suit of brown and tan and black. It wus not well for a young fellow to dress too magnificently. Thut was for un older bird. And before that he had been an egg of bufl color, decorated with brown. He had been told about that. He had not remembered anything before the time be had hatched out of his shell and be hud remembered that hardly at all. He hnd always liked ledges, though. It came to him naturally as even be-fore he had been batched forth he had been put upon a ledge without any nest to speak of at all. His family was not one for soft, easy nests. His family liked a rugged, bard, wild, free life without cares and without responsibilities. He bad always been fearless and had always been brave. He was like ait of bis family. And lie liked to fly over great stretches of splendid country. "I'm fond of the North mid the West," he said. "It's so much more free and big and open, to fny way of thinking. And I love the great rocks I find and the great cliffs." He hud been standing stilt long enough. Now lie must go forth and seek his prey. No one would get the better of hlml He would get the better of any one He would not be afraid of any one. They would be afraid of blm! He would sail forth into the splen-did air, and how quickly he would fly. No one could fly any more quickly than he could fly. Certainly not the ' ducks be would go after. Not the most rapid flyer among them could get ahead of him. He was Duck Hawk, the great, wild, splendid bird. Any one who knew him would know tli at this was so. Monetary Pledge of Centuries Ago An archeologlcul expedition sent out by the University of rennsylvanla dug up a clay tablet lu the ruins of the ancient city of Nippur, Babylon, with an Inscription upon It which, trans-lated, reads as follows: "Thirty bushels of dates are due to flcl Nadln Shun, son of Marnshu, by Bel Bullltsu and Slia Nairn Shu, sons of Kirebti, and their tenants. In the month of Tashrl (harvest month) of the thirty-fourt- h year of King Artax-erxe- s I, they shall pay the dates, thirty bushels, according to the meas-ure of Bel Nadln Shun, In the town of Bit Balatsu. Their field, cultlvnted and uncultivated, their lief estate. Is held as a pledge for the dates, namely, thirty bushels, by Bel Nadln Shun. An-other creditor shall not have power over It." This tablet was dated 430 B. C, or nearly 2,400 years ago. It may not be the oldest record extant of a mortgage, but It Illustrates very clearly that the mortgage was an accepted form of In-vestment some 2,000 years ago. Don-ald Ilea Hanson In Forum. I Keeps Cubs Up High ifff W-y-l One of the reasons for the high standing of the Chicago Cubs has been the hard-hittin- of Catcher Leo Hart-net- t, more popularly known as "Gab-by."

Cows in Holland are treated with ss much consideration as human beings. They have the best of food. Their sheds are furnished. They even have overcoats when they go out. There are lace curtains In the win-dows of many Dutch cowsheds. And the floors are laid with shining white tiles, kept spotlessly clean. Lest her tail should drug In the dirt, the Dutch cow has it held up by a neat chain from the roof. Her horns are scrubbed and polished, She Is carefully groomed. She spends eight months of the year Indoors. To lighten the darkness of winter the cowshed Is provided with electric lights. There is also some kind of beating system. Athletes rarely break training and records at the same time. Cowes, Isle of Wight. Is the greatest yachting center in the world. The weight of a discus Is four pounds, six und one-hal- f ounces. Portland (Ore.) Hunt Club Polo asso-ciation will go In for polo on a large scale this summer. Football coaches at American col-leges and universities receive from $10,000 to $25,00.0 .a.season. Future Olympic sport programs will be limited to 10 days, starting with the 192S games at .Amsterdam. Helen Wills has gone In for golfing. Now she will find out a few things that are not found In the books. Things even up pretty well, after all. Jack Demp.sey can't fight In New York, and the re.st of us don't want to. James Cordon Bennett arranged the first game of polo In America in 1870 at Dickers riding academy, New York City. . University of Pennsylvania oarsmen this season will compete against near- - ly every college crew of prominence In the country. . It Is estimated that among the world's first-clas- s golfers, fewer than 2 per cent lug their clubs Into town and swing them around the office to impress the help. The big event of the lawn tennis season In the Missouri valley region will be the national clay court cham-pionship, to be held nt St. Louis the week of July 13.. .. The American Olympic committee has a surplus of over $.'10,000. It will be invested and will form a nudens of the fund to send athletes to the 19'J8 games In Amsterdam. Pete Gltlltz will captain the George-town basketball team next year.

One or the other of these Barnes , boys from Kansas Is either winning or :i losing every day. ritcher Charles Schwartz of Pitts-burgh has been given bis unconditional releuse. New Orleans has released Pitcher Lee Bolt to Chariotte of the South At-lantic league. For the first time In ten years, the '( Cleveland Indians are without a splt-ba- ll pitcher this season. " It's fortunate the sport scribe's ' s story isn't literally true. Imagine a , pitcher actually blowing up.

' 1 The former Grand Duke Boris, If he fails to become czar of what Is left of 1 all the Kusslas, might get about the same effect by signing up as a baseball ' umpire over here. In the early days of baseball as i played In New England the rules gave " ;. the victory to the club first scoring 10(1 runs, and this often required two or more days to settle the question of superiority. ... Has anyone now alive ever seen or heard of a fan getting up on his feet during a close game and announcing. "Let us now give three rousing cheers for the umpire In recognition of his good work lately?" Honus Wagner, former Pittsburgh star. Is a candidate for sheriff of Al- - leghany county, Pn. Unless Honus' legs have changed materially In the last 10 years a fugitive could get through them in an emergency. '; Charley Robertson, right-hande- r of i the White Sox, has not been showiag ' - any III effects from the operation per-formed last year on his pitching arm i for removal of a chipped bone. In fact, he promises to be star for Eddie Collins. Bucky Harris and Clark Grlffllth got busy with Lee Fohl and when their session was completed, Joe Harris, for-mer Indian, was ordered to don a Washington uniform while Pitcher Paul Zahnlser and Outfielder Carlyle were sentenced to the Red Sox. Texas League Managers Figure on Second Place Jack McAllister, the Cleveland In-dian conch. Is one of the best story-tellers in all of baseball, but his prize yarns are about Jakle Atz, who has won seven pennants in eight years for Fort Worth, in the Texas league. Ev-ery year the Texas pilots build up and try to beat Atz, but every full he comes out ahead. At the minor league meeting last winter Jacft met Atz late one evening. "Jukie," be said, "Larry Gardner and the other Texas league managers are up on the fourth floor figuring out how to beat you this year." "No, they ain't," replied Atz, "they're Just deciding who will finish second." Novelty, to Be Sure Helen has spent the morning In the dentist's chair. Doctor Dentist had kept her mouth open for so long that when the child tried to relax her facial muscles she found It extremely difficult., "Doctor," said Helen, "my mouth feels so stretched I feel like I could whisper In my own ear." Cleveland Indians Are Far From a Young Team The Indians this season will be far from a young ball club despite the fact that Tris Speaker hopes to build on youth. The average age of Smith, L'hle, Shaute, Edwards, Karr, Levson, Buckeye and Speece, pitchers who stand out as those most likely to be regulars Is 20 3 years while the re-mainder of the regulars. Including My-iit- t, Burns, Fewster, Joe Sewell, Lutz-k- e, Trls Speaker, Jamieson, Lee and Summa, have a percentage of 2"'4. making the level of the team about twenty-seve- n years.
