OVER A 40-YEAR SPANWhen the Job on which you're toiling gets your goat;When you curse the grip of poverty and such;When existence seems to have you by the throatAs you stagger daily onward in its clutch;When It seems that Fate has nicked you good and hard,When you've only known the run of fortune's shreds,When you figure with a curse, life could offer nothing

worse,Weil, suppose that you'd been drafted by the Reds,Old dog.Just suppose that you'd been drafted by the Reds?

?

When they have you on the run across the trail;When they copper every bet you try to make;When you start out in the morning, dull and stale.And the boss begins to brand you as a fake;When they double cross or slam you on the bean,Among the under-paids and under-feds,Ere you figure, ever gruffer, life could offer nothing

rougher,| Just suppose that you'd been traded to the Reds,

I Old dog.Just suppose that you'd been tradod to the Reds?

Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn in turn dashed out of the rut in11914, 1915 and 1916 respectively. The Reds were due to round out the

I quartet this season, but so far the forty-year curse is still harrassing them|at every turn. They are still wearing bare spots deep in the second division.

THE ALL-AROUND CLUBSir?Among the all-around boys what's the matter with Harold Janvrin,

of the Red Sox? I have seen htm play first, second, third and short, andplay all four positions well. This should put him up among the first.

J. M. J.Sir?ln regard to Charlie Ferguson, who once caught for Virginia UnLversity, I once saw him pitch the first four innings with Philadelphia in

faultless style and then go back of the bat and catch the remaining fiveinnings with equal brilliancy. He was a won.der. But did you know thatBuck Ewing, the best catcher that ever wore a mask, filled every positionon the old New York Nationals? And that George Van Haltren, with NewYork and Chicago, caught, pitched and played every infield and outfieldposition during his twenty years? Those were the days when the ballplayers had the stamina and the stuff. Men. like Buck Ewing, Van Haltrenand Mike Kelly could play almost any position on the team well enoughto hold the gap. B. L. H.

NOT YET?Ty Cobb began his major league career a trifle over twelve years ago.

He is now sliding on past thirty. But up to the moment of skidding topress he hasn't yet started sliding down hill.

"I have no idea what I'll hit this year," he said a day or so ago, "but Isee no reason for any slump until 1 begin, to lose my speed. That meansdown hill the rest of the way. But as far as I can tell I have been ableto get around this spring as well as ever. It's the speed that always goesfirst?not the batting eye."

Last September when Cobb was batting .354 he told us that he ex-pected to finish around .370. His concluding average was .371. He is stillconfident that he can finish above .350 as he hasn.'t been below this markin a good many campaigns.

DONT'S AND BE'SIn behalf of the Senior Service Corps, Walter Camp has extended a brieflist of Don'ts and Be's that should e incorporated in every corral, whatever

the game?-1. Don't shirk, don't worry; don't explain.; don't knock; don't kick;

don't quit; don't loaf; don't lag.BE ?prompt, alert, quiet, determined, steady, helpful, unselfish, con-

siderate, gracious, observant, brave, clean.If this doesn't cover the field there is no particular use in trying.

THIRD OR FOURTH"To settle a terrific and growing debate," writes Pip, "do the best hit-

ters bat third or fourth I say third, while others say the clean up manis fourth?"

We should say third place has the edge. Cobb bats third and so doesTris Speaker, these two being the best hitters in the game. Eddie Collinsand Dave Robertson, both bat third, and so does Eddie Roush, the leadinghitter of the Reds.

But on the Yanks Pipp bats fourth and Baker fifth; Stuffy Mclnnis, thebest batsman on the Mackmen, also bats fifth. Joe Jackson bats foueth, andso does Hal Chase. But if there is any margin it is decided in favor ofCobb, Speaker, Collins and Robertson.

FROM PLATTSBT'RGWe have left the brassie behind;The racquet rests in its frame;We are pointed now in another way.Facing another game.

And what may rest aheadNo man may know or tell.But we'll hold the slogan we knew of old,The slogan of "Give 'em 'ell."

MAYBE?AND MAYBE NOT"You are all wrong about the Red Sox," writes a bystander. "Outside

of two or three good pitchers, they don't belong and will be lucky to finishsecond." Maybe?and then again, maybe not. If a ball club that winstwo pennants and two world's series in succession, and then, after a longroad trip, returns home in first place, is a bum ball club, just where dothe others belong?

The Red Sox are frequently rated as a fair club or a poor club, withgreat pitching. Whereas it is a smart, aggressive, powerful machine evenbeyond the pitching staff.

WELLYSBaseball help is needed. The

sooner the better for the good nameof Harrisburg as a real live baseballcity. President J. H. Farrell is anx-ious to keep Harrisburg jan the map.

Once the necessary financial sup-port is forthcoming, thcoc will be noquestion about Harrisburg's team.The material is there. With newmen here and others coming, it wijlnot be long until the team Is up inthe race.

Steelton is sftowing more activityas a baseball town than this city atpresent. League baseball starts thereon Saturday, the Steelton team ofthe Bethlehem Stee! CompanyLeague meets Bethlehem in theopening game. It will be some bigevent. To-day Susquehanna Univer-sity is playing Shorty Miller's team.

Interest is growing stronger in themajor legaue race. Both the Na-tionals and Americans are showing

fast work. Crowds are reported onthe Increase.

With nice weather to-morrow theannual grammar school track meetwill have a record crowd. Allschoolswere drilled to-day for marching to-morrow and the young athletes werebusy limbering up.

An important meeting of the Dau-phin-Perry League Is scheduled forto-night. Representatives will dis-cuss plans for the future and takeup grievances.

Only one game was played yes-terday In the New York StateLeague. It went five Innings andWilkes-Barre shut out Reading;score, 3 to 0.

In the Lucknow Shop League yes-terday Finfrock pitched anotherno-hit no-run victory for the PlaningMill. He won out over the Clerks;score, 3 to 0.

FUTURE LEAGUEGAME IN DOUBT;FARRELL IS HERE

B? 1PRESIDENT J. H. FARRELL.

Future league baseball in Harris-burg is doubtful. President J. H.Farrell of the New York Stace Leaguecame to Harrisburg last night, lie ishere to do his bit and wants this cityto remain on the baseball tnap.Whether President Farrell will besuccessful as a life-saver depends onhis conferences to-day and to-morrowwith businessmen.

This city is the only one on theFarrell circuit that does not nave anassociation back of its baseball team.Manager George Cockill, who pur-chased the franchise last season inorder to show his loyalty to the city,has stood the burden of expensesand is ready to sell out and quit un-less he gets help. Too many post-ponements have cut down the re-ceipts.

Men who have heretofnre si nod bythe game will not finance any morebaseball enterprises alone. Tliiy art-willing to help if proper organizatior

is affected. One week will bo givenHarrisburg to decide as to the future.If the proper encouragement 1s notreceived, President Farrell will ar-range to place the team In some othercity.

Activity Start* To-day

To-day, In company with ManagerGeorgo Cocklll and several local en-thusiasts, President Farrell rnadd atour of the business district. Ko wantsto find out whether there is sufficientinterest In the game to continue. Heis of the opinion that Harrisburg will

support a team If properly handled.He also believes that with the mate-rial now on hand the Islanders willmake good and will be in the race be-fore many days. The amount neededis not large. Plans outlined last nightat a conference held at the Senatewill be presented to the businessmen

to-day and to-morrow.Secretary Frank Seiss, with four-

teen men, left this morning forWilkos-Bnrre. The team will continueits schedule. Elliott and Healey willjoin the team on the trip and the newmen. Mack and Brown, will be In theline-up. Several good offers of play-ers were made last night by managersand may be accepted. It is probablea meeting will be called to discuss thebaseball situation.
