LOCAL SHOOTERS AT PINEHURST, N. C.-BLUE RIDGE LEAGUE HAS TWO NEW TOWNS CHICAGO LEADER I AS FLAG WINNERi Club Changes Ownership on 1 Thursday; Famous Managers Help in History Making \ By Associated Press New York. Jan. 18. —The change in I ownership of the Chicago National j league baseball club, which will be j completed when Charles W. Weegh- j man and his associates pay to Charles 1 P. Taft $400,000 balance due on the j half-million transaction, marks an j epoch in the history of one of the I famous clubs of professional baseball, j Since the Chicago club was organized j in 1876 it has always held a prominent place In the professional game. During its existence of forty years ! many championship pennants have j been nailed to its flagpole. Probably j no other club in the senior major j league has been so fortunate flnan- ! dally, as money or the lack of it. has 1 never troubled the Chicago manage- j ment. At all times the owners of this or- j ganization have endeavored to secure the services of great players regardless of cost, as the roster shows, and this ! has been one of the strongest factors j in the club's success. In forty years only six men have | held the majority stock in the club, the recent deal having- transferred con- | t.rol into the hands of Charles W. Weeghman, so that owners of the team have been few. William A. Hulbert and the late Albert G. Spalding organ ized the team in IS7C. Some Famous Managers Frank Chance was made manager in j .1906. He won four pennants and two world's series. Chance resigned in I!tl2. Johnny Evers succeeded Chance i in Chicago as manager, but after a | wrangle with Murphy was traded to j Boston. Then Hank O'Day, the vet- I eran umpire, became the Cubs' pilot, | but after a single season's handling of the steering wheel was deposed and | Roger Bresnahan was placed in J charge, to be followed, in all proba- i bility, bv Joe Tinker next season. | In point of continuous service, how- ; ever. Captain Adrian C. Anson holds i the Chicago record as manager. Ail- i son was appointed in 1877 and held! the position until 18a7, during which] tern*the club won live pennants. An- j son's last championship victory oc- j curred in 18 86 and it was not until 1906, twenty years later, that the pen nant visited Chicago again through the efforts of Frank Chance. Anson was succeeded as manager by Thomas E. Burns in 1S!)7 and two years later Thomas J. Loftus took up ihc managerial reins and held them for a similar period. The late Frank Selee took the team in hand in 1902 and they finished at the top of the sec ond division that season. In <he three following years under Selee's manage ment the Cubs finished third, second and third in the pennant races, and then Chance stepped in to bring them to the front in 1906.

NOVEL POWER-DRIVEN CYCLE OK SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION Several interesting features are em bodied in a light-weight, power-driven bicycle which was introduced at the re cent Chicago motorcycle show, and is described and illustrated in the No vember Popular Mechanics Magazine. It is built especially for the person who needs an efficient and compara tively inexpensive conveyance of very simple construction. The power plant consists of a 1%-hp. motor mounted in the front wheel, which is made of pressed steel. A gas tank of 1-gal. ca pacity. sufficient for 100 miles, is clamped to the handlebars. The front wheel is flexibly attached to a three stem fork and directly connected with the motor by means of a compensator. The advantages cited for the driving arrangement are that, the weight of both the rider and engine is equally distributed, and the vibrations of the motor are not communicated through the frame. A speed range of from sto 25 miles an hour is provided. The cycle has a wheel base of 43 in. and weighs 115 pounds. BABY BOXES "In practically all South American cities are windowless buildings, with apertures wide and deep enough to per mit the placing there of an unwanted baby. The little one is dropped in the open side of a half-barrel or box just within the aperture. The one putting In the baby cannot be seen. The barrel is rotated on the inside, the baby taken out and no questions are asked. The barrel is then made ready for the next arrival. These babies are usually put. in at night. In one of these institu tions the babies were said to die off like flies. This is not true of all, for the general plan is to caro for the chil dren until grown and then place them out. The Society of Public Beneficence is reported as responsible for the main tenance of many of these buildings, and charities similar to this are supported In part by the profits on the public lot tery system, which is continent-wide. Such a convenient plan of disposal of babies fosters the spirit of immor ality which is one of the curses of that continent.— The Christian lllrat.d.
