Once more the frail arbutus smiles
And wakes the soul TO song,
The springtime bossoming beguiles
The heart, but not for long.
For though the sun-kissed blooms be sweet,
Their Joys ere long must pail.
NV happiness Is not complete
Till some smites the ball.
The gentle birds who soar on high.
With songs sweet and clear,
Are not so welcome to mine eye
AS that well-batted sphere.
In sylvan haunts l would not dwell
I'd rather, once for all.
SIT on a bench and whoop and yell
When come one smites the ball.

The Commercial Baseball League will
again be composed of eight clubs this sea-
son. The league will reorganize next Tues
day and plans will be adopted for conduct
ing the league on strictly businesslike prin-
ciples. Each club will be compelled to pay
an entrance fee of S. and will also pay 81 a
week to maintain the expenses of the or
ganization. Some action will be taken re-
garding the eligibility of players with re-
spective teams, and it is probable that the
league will forbid the playing of any man
with any team who is not a regular en-
ploye of the store represented.
