Fortune hasn’t smiled with any real
sweetness upon Joe Jackson. His
ichievements over the sweep of four
:ampaigns were great enough to have
caused him to be heralded as “the
greatest player in the game,” but fate
cept Ty Cobb in the frolic and Joe
lever has ranked better than a runner
ip.
Cobb has acted as an eclipse of
lackson’s greatness. No matter what
leeds Joe performed, Ty went just a
lit beyond—just enough farther to
:loud the brilliance of the “shoeless
vonder.”
Back in 1911, Joe’s first full season
is a major leaguer, he clubbed for
:he wonderful average of .408. In the
■ntire 40 years’ history of the modem
fame only about a dozen batters have
fone beyond .400. It would seem
fiat such a showing with the blud
geon must win the batting honors for
fie southern batting demon. But ;t
lidn’t, because that was the year
.vhen Ty Cobb slugged to his record
nark of .420—and Joe finished sec
md.
The following season—1912—Jack
son hit for .396—and Cobb again beat
lim to the wire with .410. No mat
:er how well Joe performed, Ty’s ac
:omplishments were a bit superior.
And Fate seems to have had a hand
n it, because when Ty slumped a jinx
las similarly affected Joe. Luck
never has been with Jackson. The
‘breaks” Have gone to Cobb—all of
them.
Cobb Is Jackson’s Nemesis.
In 1913 Jackson hit for .373—and
Cobb went to .390. In 1914 Jackson
dropped to .338 and Cobb to .363.
Last season Cobb hit .370, while Joe’s
total was only .308. Had Joe amas
sed his .408 and .395 averages in any
jther years than 1911 or 1912 he
ivould have acquired the honor of be
ng the batting leader of the Johnson
:ircuit. But Fortune ruled that he
should hit always below Cobb.
This season the same state of af
fairs exists. Cobb hasn’t been breez
ing along as merrily as of yore. If
he finishes around .360 for the year
ie will be surprising many. Jack
son has beaten that mark in three
starts out of five. His grand average
from 1911 to 1915 inclusive is .364.
But now that«t+ie opportunity is be

fore him, Joe doesn’t seem to be abl<
to grasp it. Ty isn’t connecting with
any degree of frequency—but Joe is
hitting with lesser degree.
Five years a big league star; five
years of hitting for an average ol
.364; once a .408 hitter, but never the
batting leader. That is Joe’s history.
How He Became “Shoeless Jott”
Many folks have the erroneous idea
that Jackson is called “shoeless” be
cause he used to play in his bare feet
down south. The "shoeless” title
came about in this way:
Jackson’s own baseball shoes were
missing one day just before game
time in the little southern town where
he performed early in his youth. An
other player, with an extra pair ol
shoes, loaned them to Joe. The shoes
were far too small for Jackson, but
he squeezed his feet into them in
some way and proceeded to his work.
Along about the fourth inning the
shoes hurt Jackson’s feet so much
that he took them off while in the out
field, laying them on the grass along
side. For two or three innings he got
away with it—no one discovered he
was playing in his stocking feet. But
a short time later he had to race in
back of the outfield for a “Texas
League” swat and then the stocking
ed feet were noticed.
“You’ve got a shoeless player, eh?’
commented the rival manager, and
ever afterward Jackson became
known as the “shoeless wonder.”
FRENCH REFUSE AID
TO RED CROSS WORK
PARIS, July 24.—The French au
thorities have refused to allow free
passage into Germany of Americar
Red Cross sanitary equipment anc
supplies notwithstanding the society’s
claim that such passage is justified bj
article 29 of the Declaration of Lon
don and article 16 of the Geneva Con
vention of 1906.
The French authorities hold thaf
article 29 of the Declaration con
fines itself to asserting that “mate
rial exclusively for the use of sick and
wounded is not to be classed as con
traband of war,” but that these words
do not prevent such material from be
ing captured and confiscated for vio
lation of blockade nor from being hck
up on the way. Moreover, they add
the Declaration of London was neve?
ratified and therefore has no obliga
tory force.
As to article 16 of the Geneva con
vention the French authorities now
intimate that, considering Germar
methods of conducting war, they se<
no reason for departing from theii
prohibition of May 1916, agaitisl
sending any goods whatever into Ger
many, so cannot make any exceptior
in favor of the American Red Cross
society, more especially as the sup
plies “end by reprovisioning Germanj
with raw material that is often eus.\
to recover after usage and of whicl
the German government has pressing
need for its military operations.”

“Analyze Anything.”
The men in charge of the hat ex
change at the Labor Union hall Sat
urday night dealt out 370 hat checks;
it is estimated that there were at least
240 women present and an estimate
of 200 couples on the floor at one time
would be conservative. But it was
not alone in numbers that the initial
dance given by the labor union boys
was a success; from every viewpoint
it was a success, the splendid new
floor, the exceptionally good music,
the spirit of the crowd and the effi
cient management all added their
quota to the evening’s entertainment
and the immense throng greeted with
applause Jack Sutherland’s announce
ment that “this is the first of a series
of dances to be given by the members
of the Alaska Labor Union and the
next one will be next Saturday night,
July 29th.”
The orchestra kept such perfect
time and the floor was in such good
shape that it was impossible to get
the dancers to stop dancing long
enough to have a'grand march, nor
did they want to listen to the excel
lent program that had been prepared.
Everybody had a good time and the
members of “the Alaska Labor union
deserve credit for the manner in
which the whole affair was managed;
they are to be complimented for the
new dance floor that made such an en
joyable evening possible and the citi-/
zens of Anchorage are naturally
proud that it can boast of this hall—
the largest of its kind in all Alaska.
