Claude Derrick, New Shortatop of Chicago Cubs.
Claude Derrick anil 1 dianapolls and
Jay Kirke are three of the most sen-
satjonal "comebacks" of the season.
When this trio was cast adrift by ma-
.'or league clubi little or no attention
was given to their fate. They had
dropped out of the fast set and were
headed tót the minors. But now it's
a different story. All three accom-
•plished vpnders with the teams to
which they were sent, and now they
are back In the big yard again.
The New York Americans sold Cree
to the Baltimore Orioles for $2.500 and
gladly paid $5,000 to get him back.
While with Baltimore Cree led the In-
ternational league batsmen with an
average of .353. Claude Derrick also
was shipped to Baltimore by the Ath-
letics, who figured that he was
through in the big show. Derrick did
grc%t work in the field for the Orioles
and hit tor .330.
Jay Klrke, the third member of the
"comeback" triplets, is a former Bos-
ton Brave. He was shunted to In-
0'NEILL IS CLEVER CATCHER
In the American association. With
Cleveland, Kirke hit tor .351 and was
the real batting leader of the associa-
tion. Now ho is with the Cleveland
Naps.
Claude Derrick, the new Cub short-
fielder purchased from Cincinnati has
fit in the cavity In great style and is
said to be the making of the Cub
team. He has chased away the short-
stop bugaboo. Since Joining the team
Claude has shown plenty of class as a
batter and fielder. The Cubs are the
fourth major league team he has
played for. He started out with the
Athletics in 1912, but wasn't kept long.
He bobbed up at the end of that sea-
son with Mack's men and again dis-
appeared in the ambush. His next
chance came with Frank Chance's
Highlanders last year. He was let
loose again, to be grabbed up by the
Reds. He woro a Cincinnati uniform
for a couple of days before signing
with the Cubs.

Man Who Knows
Everybody in Town
Br MORRIS CONNOU.Y. W,

i
Did jou ever meet the
man who knows everybody
he sees and Í8 continually
shaking hands ?
I know a fellow out in
Iowa who never fails to
ask who a person ia if he
happens not to know him.' He prides himself on his wide acquaintance-
A «hip. If he sees a man he doesn't know, he makes it his business imme-
diately to find out who the pan is, and it doesn't take long for him to get
acquainted. The fellow is absolutely obsessed with tÉe idea of knowing
► everybody. You've seen the type? Once introduced to a man, the next
time he sees that man he greets him as a lifelong friend. Of course, such
,, men have a marvelous memory for faces and names. It's too bad all of
us who have to campaign can't keep a mental index of every person we
meet. '
*V' One time not so long ago I was visiting Denver with some friends,
who were likewise friends of the man of whom I speak. It's true, the fel-
low knew a lot of people in Denver. For a joke we telegraphed him that
we had scoured Denver and were surprised to find there were two persona
in the city who were unacquainted with him. "Please wire an explana-
tion," . we requested.
Our friend waa right there with an answer. lie admitted there might
*i>e a few persons in Denver who didn't know him by his right name, but
suggested that at times he traveled under an alias, and while perhaps the
men who disclaimed acquaintance with him didn't know him by name,
they undoubtedly knew him by one of his aliases.

Minooka Blues until 1910, when he
went to the Elmira, New York State
league club, now managed by his broth-
er, Mike, the once-noted major league
pitcher. He caught 28 games and was
released to enable Elmira to keep him
from the draft,, but Connlo Mack's
keen eye caught him and he was draft-
ed by the Athletic club. He went south
with that team In 1911, but on the re-
turn was sent to Worcester of the New
England league, from which club
Cleveland bought him In the fall of
1911.
Almeida It Micsed.
Several of the Cincinnati playera
wish that the club had k> pt Rafafel
Almeida. The quiet, amiable Portu-
guese-Cuban waa a soothing, not a dis-
turbing Influence, and how he could
slay that ball when called on in a
pinch! He c$>uld play the outfield,
too, and the boya think that in two
weeks' time, played regularly, he could
fully replace Marsans. It was one of
the great errors of 191> when Almeida
was sent away, and he'd be extremely
useful now.

Fortune Made When Tesm Won Two
World's Championships Fnom St
Louis Browns and Orooklyns
Lost in Fighting Revolt.
Once the richest und most powerful
magnate In the Nationul league, John
11. ltay, founder of the New York
basebuli club, which has controlled the
Giants since-3880, now draws a small
salary for supervising the turnstiles
at the polo grounds. Mr. Day's for-
tune, made in 1888 and 1889, when the
Giants won two world's championships
from tho St. Louis Browns and tho
Brooklyns, respectively, wub swept
away In vainly lighting the Brother-
hood revolt of 181)0. He sacrificed all
to remain loyui to the National league,
which without his allegiance would
have been crushed in midseason. In
fact, Mr. 1 Day refused a half inter-
est in the New York Brotherhood club,
together with a $25,000 salary to serve
as president.
Tho story of Mr. Day's ruin is an
old one, but his wonderful faith In
the ball players who threw him down
never has been told. At the sugges-
tion of James Mutrle Mr. Day organ-
ized the old Metropolitans, who won
the American association champion-
ship in 18S4. He leased the polo
grounds, then located at Kifth avenue
and One Hundred and Tenth street. As
the National league w as t>) > parent
body. Day and Mutrle soon ipplled for
a francnise to operate a New York
club. The team was nicknamed the
Giants in 1S87, because the players In-
cluded big men—Buck Ewlng, Roger
Connor, Tim Keefe, Jim .O'Rourke,
Mike Slatteiy and others.
During that season the New Y«,fk
club made $100,000, while in 188S Mr.
Day's profits were said to have been
double that amount. Jo¿m M. Ward,
George Gore, Mike Tlernan, Mickey
Welsh, Ed Crane, Danny Richardson,
Bill Brown, Arthur Whitney, Oil Haf-
fleld, Pat Murphy and Tltcomb vjere
added to the club's roster from time
to time, so that when the pennant
was captured In 1SS9 Mr. Day was
literally rolling In wealth. He allowed
the players to pocket the New York
club's entire; share of the receipts.
It was during the following winter
that the Giants, with the exception of
Tlernan, Welsh and Murphy, agreed to
desert Mr. Day. They had joined the
Brotherhood, which had formed a se-
cret agreement with various financial
backers to organize a rival circuit
called the Players' league. When Mut-
rle informed Mr. Day, there, that all
but three of the Giants had decided
to jump, the New York magnate re-
plied:
"I do not believe a word of it! I
have treated my boys liberally and
fairly. You cannot make me believe
that they are not real men."
It proved to be true, however, and
Mr. Day lost his fortune.

PLACE FAITH FIRST
Foundation Stone Upon Which
f All Christian VirtuefcJXIutt^'
Be Founded. „
Let us consider some of the the ele-
ments of service or waiting on the
l.ord and some of the reasons why we
should be of good courage. The first
roqulslte of Service Is loyalty. The
subject who hates his king, the citl-
len who does not love the Hag of his
country cannot render to king or coun-
try. a service of honor or of value.
There must be faith in the character
uud virtues of the ruler, l'aith In the
beneficent laws of the country to in-
spire devotion and loyalty. To wait
upon the Lord faith must exist us the
foundation principle from which
springs devotion und loyalty, and from
this comes loving service.
Tho greatest rulers the world has
kuowu were not free from weakuese
und imperfections.
The best governments that have
ever existed huvo tarnished their es-
cutcheons by deeds of Injustice and
wrong. Yet In all ages a faith und
trust In the governments of mon' has
stirred the hearts of subjects and
kindled the most Intense fires of pa-
triotism. Men have willingly offered
their lives us a sacrifice upon the al-
tars of their country, i
If we have faith and loyalty to ren-
der service for what we know to be
imperfect, why should we not have
faith und loyalty to rehder service for
a ruler and a government that is with-
out imperfections of any kind or na-
ture.
Best or All Faith.
What acts of Injustice or wrong are
perpetrated by God's government, that
we should have less loyalty and less
readiness for willing service to it,
than we have for the governments of
men? It is well to have faith, love
and loyalty for our country; but Is it
not t^ore Important to put our great-
est trust and center our dearest hopes
In that government which is perfect
and permanent?
All other governments pass away.
The kings of earth die and are forgot-
ten. The kingdoms, empires and re-
publics decline and fall, and the pass-
ing ages obliterate all traces of their
glory and renown; yet we know that
in all the cycles of time that have al-
ready been or that are yet to be, God
reigns an<) his government stands In
all its untarnished luster and undi-
minished splendor.
Why should we not wait on the
Lord and be of good courage? There
Is no reason for falnt-heartedness, for
"He shall strengthen thine heart."
God invites all to citizenship in his
government. The oath of allegiance
to him does not lessen, but Increases
loyalty to our earthly government
It requires us to renounce nothing
that it is well for us to keep, and
promises all thlngB that are for our
greatest good here and hereafter.
The hopes and expectations of the
future, should cause every Christian
to be of good courage. There can be
no failure on God's part. He is the
shield aud buckler of every subject In
his kingdom. All needed strength is
imparted In the hours of trial and trib-
ulation, so that the tried ones may
even glory In them, knowing that their
afflictions work out "a far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight of glory."
. "All things are now ready" for you
to "wait upon the Lord" if you only
will.
Mercy Inexhaustible.
Untold millions have accepted God
is their Sovereign and experienced the
fulness of his mercy and the com-
pleteness of his caro and protection.
Why not you?
His mercy is inexhaustible. When
the last sinner comes to God, though
it be in the hour when the mighty
angel, standing with one toot upou
the land and one upon the sea, pro-
claims that time was, and time is, but
time shall be no longer, even then
the riches of the grace of God will be
as full as when first offered at the
gates of Eden.
The resources of God are undlinin-
lshable. Be of good courage. All 1
yours if yours are Christ's. The
thought of the great reward ought to,
inspire both loyalty and courage to
overcome all enemies. It is written:
"Him that overcometh, will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God and he
shall go no more out; and I will write
upon him the name of my God, and
the name of the city of my God."
It is counted a great honor to be
granted the freedom of earth's great
cities; but how inconceivably glorious
the distinction accorded the humblest
Christian in receiving the freedom of
heaven's imperial capital. '
"I will write upon him the name of
tbe city of my God."
Thankfulness.
A gratefu1 heart is the mark of a
truly religious man. We unconscious-
ly become selfish if we are always ask-
ing for blessings without giving ex-
pression to sincere gratitude for those
wa have already received. God has
declared his willingness, yea, bis de-
light to give us his mercies and bless-
ings, but be desires to see gratitude
growing within our hearts. None of
tbe sacred writers exhorted more fre-
quently to giving of thanks than did
the Apostle PanL Tha rule of bis life
waa, "Giving thanks alwaya for all
things unto God."
Every aspiration la a «tap
that to which one aspires.
