GENERALLY
George Sutton, the Chicago veteran
“handless” billiard champion, is to
volunteer his services to the govern
ment as an instructor in hospitals
for disabled soldiers. Sutton, referred
to as the “miracle man” of the bil
liard table, is preparing his personal
affairs so that he can undertake the
work.
Sutton, who lost both hands in a
sawmill accident when 8 years old,
is pointed to as a clear illustration
of what can be accomplished by self
determination. Sutton dresses him
self, plays championship billiards,
drives his motor car, plays golf and
is able to write.
“I am confident that I can be of
aid to soldiers who have lost hands,”
Sutton said. “These men need ad
vice as well as instruction. 1 have
been through the mill and can teach
them to again become useful citi
zens.”
Tris Speaker Not to Be Promoted
Supporters of the Cleveland Ameri
cans unanimously approve the action
of President James Callum in re-elect
ing Lee Fohl manager of the club for
1919. It will be Fohl’s fourth year.
Fohl and President Dunn are try
ing to arrange a trade for Outfielder
Benny Roth that will strengthen the
club. Six of the eight clubs in the
American league have made offers for
him. President Dunn will demand
players, if a trade is made, instead of
a cash consideration.
Concerning the report that Tris
Speaker was being considered to suc
ceed Fohl, President Dunn said that
Speaker did not want the position,
and besides, was too valuable to be
handicapped with the worries of the
management.
“Fohl has been with me long enough
to convince me that I would have to
search hard for a better man," Presi
dent Dunn said. “He has maintained /
harmony on the team and knows the
game. He has been successful in the
development of players. I am confi
dent he would have won the pennant
last season if the race had gone on
to October 1. As It was, Cleveland
finished in second place, with a cork
ing good record."
Tex Jones May Get in the Game
Report comes from Des Moines to
the effect that William R. (Tex)
Jones, veteran baseball player, is con
sidering the purchase of a club in the
Western league. He is reported to
have made a fortune in oil options
in Kansas. He is understood to be
interested in the purchase of the Des
Moines or Hutchison, Kan., franchise.
New Blood for Kansas City
Few changes will be made this sea
eon m tne personnel oi me ivansas
City American Association club, ac
cording to President George Muehle
bach.
“We may take on a couple of new
pitchers and a catcher, but otherwise
will be much like the pennant-winning
team of last year,” said President
Muehlebach. “Frank Graham of the
Oklahoma team of the Western league
will be one of the new pitchers. He
has been signed already.”
NEVADA TOWN WITHOUT
PUPIL OF SCHOOL AGE
TYBO, Nev., Feb. 10 (by Associated
Press).—Tybo’s school bell rings no
more, and there is no small boy to be
glad. In fact, the Tybo school has
been closed because there is not even
one child of school age here. The
teacher,' Miss Hattie Ewing of Tono
pah, left before the holidays, after the
moving van had emptied the homes
which had supplied her pupils.
A few months ago Tybo was a thriv
ing mining community. Today the
mines are closed and nearly every
family has gone. A few hang on with
the expectation that developments of
the next few months will bring a re
vival of activity in the mines and new
life to the town. Just now there is
only one child in town, and he is not
of school age.

CALIFORNIA MOUNTAIN
SNOWFALL IS LIGHT
VISALIA, Cal., Feb. 10.—Old-timers
of this section, who are experienced in
mountaineering, declare it possible at
the present time to make the trip
from the western elope of the Sierra
Neva das in Tulare country, across
the Mount Whitney range, into Lone
Pine, Inyo county, afoot. Such a trip,
in other years, would have been con
sidered Impossible, but pioneers de
clare there is less snow in the moun
tains this year than for a decade.
The usual snow storm period has
passed with a fall so light as to create
seme concern' among water users of
the lowlands, who predict the irriga
tion streams will be very low during
the late summer.
