The tall blonde fashion plate, who is expected to help Wild Willilam Donovan pull the big town American leaguers out of the morass of failure, was born in Toledo, April 15, 1886. The “King” of the diamond wintered in Califor- nia, after touring with the All-Ameri- can team, and played in the Califor- nia Winter league. The famed twirler with the pretzel windup, the elongated physique and erratic temperament started his pro- fessional baseball career in Bay City, Mich,, in 1909. Prior to that—and now we lift the curtain from his dark past—"Len"” Cole was a Bay City tonsorial artist. Many a Michigander bears today the scars left by the fu- ture King's razor., ‘While he was barbering the male populace of Bay City, “Len' occasionally played ball with a semi-pro club, and that was how he came to abandon his carcer as a knight of the shears to become a king of the diamond. “Len” made quite a hit in the South Michigan league during his first yvea: out and'in 1910 he was called up high- er and joined the Cubs. = All Cole did for Chicago that annum was to win twenty out of twenty-four contests pitched, lead the National league twirlers, and achieve for himself the proud title of “King."” Incidentally, he aided the Cubs to win their last pennant. Also, he batted .231. After his showing that year Cole looked like the greatest “find” in baseball history, and Charles Webb Murphy would hardly have parted with him for a million dollars. But, alas and a-lack-a-day! Poor Cole hit the skids, in common with the re- mainder of the Cubs, and in a couple of annums he was back in the minors, hanging on by his teeth. With the Columbus club of the American as- sociation Cole gradually returned to form and copped twenty-three games to eleven lost. “Peerless l.eader” (‘hance, looking over this dope, figured that Cole was due for a come-back, and engaged him for the Yankees, The ‘“‘merry old soul” didn’t show anything start- ling, but C‘hance nursed him along, although the fans and the scribes were constantly demanding the *‘can’ for the ex-barber from Bay City | is one of the cloverest youngsters in | ¢l ” There were times Chance doubtless| the bt ess and has a bright future wished that he had let the KFeds kid- [ before him.

This year will probably decide whether the King will stay in fast company or go back to the minors or the barber shop. .« ow Ci. Napoleon Rucker, the Brooklyn southpaw, will celebrate tomorrow. the eighth anniversary of his big league debut, Nap's salary arm went back on him last year, but he is confident that he will be able this season to dellver the goods as of yore. Rucker at his best was one of the stellar left-handed flingers of the pastime, He has been with Brook- Iyn ever since he broke into the Na- tional league, having pitched his first game on April 15, 1907, when he was defeated by Boston by a score of 3 to 2. TODAY IN PU LISTIC ANNALS. 1880—Jimmy Briggs, long promin- ent in the lightweight ranks, born in Stoughton, Mass. Jimmy began his ring career in 1898 and for a decade he was a favorite performer with the padded mitts. As a featherweight he bested a humber of good boys but lost to Young Corbett and Terry McGov- ern. Tn the lightwelght ranks Brigss was never a topnotcher, but he al- ways gave the fans plenty of action, and, although often defeated, was never disgraced. During his career Briggs took part in nearly 140 con- tests. His last important bout was with Willie Titzgerald at Bridgeport in 1908, when he held the Trishman to a draw in 10 rounds. Briggs fought principally in New Iingland, although he was seen in a number of bouts {n the east, south and middle west. 1898-—Joe Walcott and Billy Smith fought twenty-five round draw =t 'Bridgeport, Conn. 1906—Tommy Mowatt and Benny ‘Yanger fought twenty round draw at Kalamazoo, Mich.

The contesting teams are New Britain and Taftville and a great game is sure to be the outcome as both teams are confident of vie- tory. The history of the Taftville club in this competition s eventful as it has reached the neutral ground stage without having a game in the competi- tion. In the first round it should have entertained the Ansonia football club but the latter, owing to an appeal, refused to travel. The game way eventually ordered to be played at a later date and the Ansonia team failed to show up and the game was ordered forfeited to Taftville. In the second round Taftville was drawn to play at Thompsonville against the Brussels team but al- though Taftville made the trip to the latter’s ground they were disappointed as the Brussels had withdrawn from the competition and neglected to not- ify the team with the result that the team was suspended until the Taft- ville expenses was forthcoming. The this earned them the right to enter On the other hand the New Brit- ain team) had a bye in the first round and was called upon to play the Pres- byterians of Bridgeport in the second round. The game was played at New Britain oh Thanksgiving day on & snow covered ground and the New Britain team won quite easily. The two teams are of the best class in the state and rooters can be promised a good clean game. PAILS TO PAY BULGARIA. Germany Makes No Settlement of Loan She Agreed to Remit April 1. Paris, April 13, 5:06 A. M.—Ger- many has failed to pay to Bulgarix the portion of the loan she agreed to remit April 1, according to a Sofia spe- cial to the Petit Parisian, which says it is believed Germany distrusts the Bulgarian attitude and suspects she already has decided to join the allies. When it was announced in February that negotiations had been completed for a loan of $30,000,000 to Bulgaria by Germany and Austrian bankers, it was stated that no political conditions were attached to the arrangement, but it was regarded as significant that Bulgaria had refused the proffer of a similar loan made several months be- fore by the powers of the triple en- tente.

TURKEY TO FIGHT TO END. Rome, April 12, 9:30 p. m., via Paris April 18, 4:56 a. m.—Carasso Effendi, a member of the Turkish chamber of deputies and Midhat Bey, former sec- retary of the Turkish committee of Union and progress who arrived here last week, have left for Constantinople by way of Venice and Vienna after interviewing Italian statesmen. They denied emphatically that their mis- sion was in relation to a separate peace for Turkey. Their mission here they declared was to study Italo-Tur- kish relations in the hope that the common interests of the two countries might be guarded now and in the fu- ture. Before leaving, Carasso Effendi said: “Turkey entered the war know- ing what she was doing and is deter- mined to go on to the end.” GERMANY BEI PUNISHED. For Her Mistake Regarding France Says Premier Viviana. Gueret, France, April 13, 5 a. m.— ‘‘Germany ignorant of the Soul of France, now is being punished for her mistake” was the declaration made by Premier Viviani at the opening ycs- terday of the departmental council of ‘reuse.” She thought to find” he said “a divided, frivolous nation but she met an iron wal] against whose heroic resistence, the flower of her army was broken. Then behold the iron wall moved, supple and unbreakable toward the western front, crushing lit- tle by little the army whose chiefs were not prepared for so long and bitter a struggle. “The French nation misunderstood and desplised, has arisen ready to pile sacrifice on sacrifice with millions in arms preparing for Germany's chas- tisement. We are certain of victories —the tivtory of justice. We want Europe free, Belglum liberated, our lost provinces restored, Prussian mil- itarism crushed, since the peace of the world is irreconcilable with its sanguinary whims. We shall accom- plish this task with our allies. We shall write not only in the history of France, but in the annals of human- ity a page which our sons will read with emotion and pride.” VICTORY FOR ALIIES Says Gen.

We want EVERY SMOKER to try this cigar (the La Purinda), and de- termine for himself whether or not we have a superior articlee. WE WANT TO ESTABLISH THIS BRAND QUICKLY. We cannot very well say: “Come in and help yourself,” so we put it this way: Every time you buy two “La Purin- da” cigars Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday of this week, you may have one free of charge. We limit this to a pur- chase of one hundred cigars, fifty free. In other words, for sampling purposes, we are giving one of these La Purinda cigars free with each purchase of two. Could anything be more fair? Could the quality of a cigar be more fairly tested? Could a firm’s confidence in the quality of its goods be better prov- en? (This is not “something for noth- ing”; we shall be reimbursed by future business on this brand.) LA PURINDA The development and perfection of growing and ci making in Porto Rico has produced a quality of cigar that is com- manding the prefer- ence of smokers quite generally today. These figures show the growth in popu- larity of Porto Rico cigars. Last year the United States im- ported 12,000,000 more cigars from Porto Rico than from Cuba. Nearly one-half the price you pay for Cuban Cigars goes to the United States Treasury for import duty. Porto Rico be- longs to the U. S. A, and her fine cigars come to U. S.
