Y . DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD; DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA. FEDERALS SECURE THREE STAR TWIRLERS Veteran Pitchers Who Have Signed With Federals. Uaseball fans who follow tire for tunes of tho Federal league say that tho Feds cracked tho backbone of American leaguo baseball opposition recently when they signed Walter JohnsoB, world's grcatost pitcher, to a two-year contract with tho Chlfeds, and Chief Bonder was taken on by the Daltlmoro team. Destdes this, Rube Marquard, one of tho Now York Na tional leaguo'B trio of leading pitchers nlgned-to play with tho Brooklyn Fed oral leaguo team. Marquard afterwnrd admitted that ho liaif misrepresented matters to the Fedoral leaguo peoplo and ho was liumc'dlately turned back to the New York Giants. Bancroft B. JohriBon, president of tho American league, and Clark Grif fith, manager of tho Washington club, talking of tho jump, do not agree as JOE RIVERS IS GOING BACK to tho valuo of the speed marvel known as the Idaho wonder. Johnson says Walter was slipping and tho Washington team was going to get rid of him this season. Grifllth says tho great twlrlor will never pitch for tho Chlfeds as long as there is a court of justice. Grinilh says ho will resort to Injunction proceedings In an effort to hold his star nttractlon. The Fedoral-i arguo that Grifllth seems to forgot that Johnson's contract with tho Washington club oxplred with tho 1914 season and tho courts havo decided in siveral eases that tho reserve clause Is not legal, henco Grlfllth's protests may bo only spasmodic. Tho stand takon by President John son In declaring that tho Washington pitcher was going back Indicates that the president has little hopes of get ting Walter back into tho Told.

Tho past year, though, ho has been slipping back and has been beat en In most of the battles In which ho has engaged lately. Joo Is but' twenty two years of ago and should be at his best now Instead of sliding Into the discard. Tho Mexican will raako a "bravo attempt to win back his formor laurels, but it Is very doubtful it he will succeed. I POE, PRINCETON STAR, ORDERLY FOR COLONEL "Johnny" Poo, former Prlnco ton football player and soldior of fortune, who recently enlist ed in tho British army, lias been promoted and Is now nn orderly for n colonel. Ills mother, Mrs. John P. Poo of Daltlmoro, has Just received a letter from "Jbhnny."

This Is tho season of the year when major league ball club magnates sit back and talk about spring training trips. California will share honors with Marlln Springs In entertaining tho Giants next spring, according to pres ent plans. It Is whispered in the Northwest that the Northern leaguo club owners would like to afllllato themselves with the Federal league. Manager McGraw must expect to win the National leaguo pennant next season, for ho Is already on the Job, working day and night. Pcrhnps Walter Johnson thought It all over and decided ho didn't want to pitch any moro Uuels with Rankin Johnson, so joined tho same club. Dick Kauffman of tho Elmlra club Is tho star sticker of tho Now York Stato leaguo for last year with .329. St. Louis Browns have drafted him. George Wlltso is being touted for a managerial job with a possible new International league team in Syracuse, which will replace Jersey City unless Bbbetts transfers tho franchise to Brooklyn.

SOME ANCIENT BALL GAMES iBJLLIARDS FOR BALL PLAYER Scientific Pastime Requires Good Eye and Steady Nerve Ideal Recrea- tlon, Gays John Kllng. Johnny Kllng, when hu was a major leaguo baseball catcher, believed that idleness did not pay. Consequently, tho ox-Cub today Is earning more money than ho did when ho was a member of tho world's championship Chicago club. He is u billiard expert, .and in addition, owns it haudsomo bil liard room in Kansaii City. And all this came about because he refused to bo ldlo. "A ' ball player bus considerable Bparo tlrao when ho Is on the road," Bald Kllng In telling about bis good (fortune "It is a fact that somo of them spond tho mornings in bed and the evonlngs in tho hotel lobbies, cafes or theaters. I don't want to say that it docH them any particular harm to loaf niid have a good time, but It produces laziness. "I found that I liked billiards when I was a young man and devoted my Bparo time to that game. I did not do It merely as recreation, but with tho Idea that I would loam the game and tho buBlnoss wid dovoto my time to if In tho off-season and when I quit base ball.

In fact, hundreds of years ago, way down In Yucatan, Impatient crowds eat around In ball purks und yelled them solves hoarse In tho enthusiasm of tho moment Just as Is done throughout tho country today, tho Now York Times stutes. Of courso, the game was not exactly baseball. But tho point Is that It was a boll gumo; that thoro were regular ball parks or courts, and that thero wero professionals who played tho gamo for what thoro -was "In It" to thorn.

HAS SPLENDID LIVING ROOM Roof Covers Front Veranda, Per mitting Wide Archway Over the Front Parapet Rooms Arranged for Convenience as Well as Artistic Effect. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD. Mr. "William A. Radford will nnswor questions and bIvo advlco FHCE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to tho subject of building, for tho readers of this paper. On account of his wldo experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, ho Is, without doubt, tho highest authority on nil theso subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1827 I'ralrlo avenue, Chlcnuo, III., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. A beautiful bouse that might be called a northern bungalow Is shown in this illustration. So far as wo know, bungalows orig inated in India and the idea was car ried to California before that Interest ing stato was discovered by tho forty niners. Tho real bungalow has only one floor and Is covered with a low down, rather fiat roof that has the appcaranco of being a couplo of sizes too large for tho house. A real bunga low haH no cellar and it has no attic. Original bungalow builders wore not particular whether it had a floor or not. Tho bare ground seemed good enough so long as they had protection from the elements. Transplanting tho bungalow Idea to America has resulted In some radical changes, but the Idea of retaining the beautiful artistic bungalow features has prevailed wherever tho bungalow typo of construction has been intro duced. In the North are a great many com fortable houses built after what might be called a renaissance of tho orig inal bungalow Idea. The artistic home vidua! molds, but lend themselves t( built-up combinations which morgj one Into tho other with ensy curves o tho samo general design. Tho manner of building tho root to cover tho front veranda permits q wldo archway over tho front parapel that IS freo from center columns. Thq object of this Is to glvo a clear view from tho large front windows, also the artl.tlc effect of such an archway Is especially attractive. Thore is lit. tlo weight to support, so that tho arch may bo constructed strong enough by simple truss work. Tho mnln sup port to the roof is under tho front of tho mulllon dormer, where it is re-enforced by tho studding of tho front outside wall of tho house proper. Tho rooms throughout tho houso nro arranged for convenience as well as for artistic effect, especially tho living room, dining room, kitchen and n l MOf"- P" '"Hi IczjI 'ID lOOri : I 'JfJ sook tf-f.ie' I tt,,c I La "V H 1 'Hi IM' s f E '"r ' " !"

Tho library really Is part of tho big living room, but It may bo closed off with sliding doors and used as nn ofllce, or In the caso of a largo family it makes a comfortable bed room. Tho downstairs washroom real ly belongs to tho bedroom and library. Upstairs the three bedrooms and bathroom are stolen from the attic. Theso rooms aro pleasant and com fortable. They aro easily warmed In winter from the furnaco In tho base ment, and easily ventilated In sum mer. The plan of getting three extra bedrooms accounts for tho elovatlon of tho peak of tho roof.

This basoment is even considered of sufficient importance to have a spe cial outside entrance in tho rear. This entrance is well built of concrete, with ensy Btops leading down from the back garden, and a wldo, heavy door for easy access into tho laundry de partment of this splendid basement There Is also an easy stairway to tho basement going down from tho back ball, to uso for tho many visits to this important part of tho house at itects claim that tho gain in cubic space Is sufficient excuse for taking such liberties with tho original bunga low idea. a good is Ideal Johnson Is Wise.
